Why He Was Called.

The line of defence made IL necessary
TO put the prisoner on the witness stand
in order that he might describe the
symptoms of lie disease he claimed TO
have been suffering from since child
hood. The comparing of his first inn
prea,iions after the killing of his wife
to bad dream or the dying away of a
vision was an effective one, and the
strange behavior of the dog was de-
scribed in a manner that though the
prisoner had said he was not good at
describing anything showed he could
see the picturesqueness of the incident.
1t is believed that all the servants,
friends and relatives of the prisoner
will be called upon TO give testimony
in support of the claim that Palmer
has been subject TO ep.leptic fits. DR.
Keene. superintendent of the state hos
pital for the insane, was present for
the state today.

is full OF water and IL is necessary to
keep the pumps at work constantly.
The Northam left her berth at Peck
slip, New York, at her usual time last
night, 1880. and made her way up the
sound, moving slowly through a fog,
which was so dense that the lookout
cUufd not see a ships length ahead.
About o'clock this morning, when
about 10 miles off Southport, the
Northam was crawling along cautiously
her fog horn sounding continually. In
the distance could be heard the whistle
of another steamer, but the signals
were transmitted under difficulties, and
the whistles that there was room and
to spare.
The course OF the Northam was not
altered. Suddenly the lookout of the
Northam discovered dead -ahead, and
but a short distance away. a black
mass. There was not time for signals,
and few moments later there was a
terrific crash. and Ii required little time
to discover that the Northam had been
struck by the Richard Peck of the same
line. which left New Haven on sched-
uled time shortly after midnight.
The crash came on the starboard side
of the Northam.L The nose of the Peck
struck full and forced its way into the
inner works of the smaller vessel with
great violence. So great was the force
of the collision that the port side of the
Northam was pushed out noticeably
Something of a panic on board both
steamers was occasioned, but those or
board the Northam were more alarmed

At seven o'clock last night it was
reported that VIM. Smith could not
qualify as mayor for the reason that
he failed to take out his minor citi-
zenship papers and if this proves
true, F. W. Philbrick will continue
to act. The fact that Mr.. Smith
failed to vote in the second ward,
where he has so long resided, seems
to confirm the report. If the story
is true Mr.. Smith came to this
country with his father when the
former was boy, and his father
took out his papers, which has since
been regarded as sufficient to cover
his citizenship, an erroneous sup
position, however, according to
Minnesota law.
There was not a great deal of ex-
element at any time during the day.
Everything remained quiet, the no.
license element feeling that they
were fighting against heavy odds

on the single issue which they
raised, and when Judge Weber de-

and closed by saying that he appre-
ciated the generosity of the people
of Redwood county for his long
tenure of Office.
Mrs. J. B. Robinson and Mrs. S.
J. Race spoke of the trials and
troubles of officials wives, but in
sisted that the wife of a candidate
experienced more troubles in brush
ing up their husbands after their
return from long campaign. Mrs.
F. L. Warner told of one or two 'po-
litical pranks of her husband, after
which Mrs. A. H. Anderson re-
sponded to the toast, Redwood

pleasant social relations in the city,
and none of them would she forget.
Mrs. Clague responded to Red

to the toast, "The DID, Mr..
Clague said that the toast might re-

meant the old officers, who have

good records, and the remembrance

remarked that the commissioners
were the best we have ever had.
]. R. Lankard responded to Mr..
Clague and said that he appreciated
the mark of kindness in giving him
and his retiring colleagues a pleas
ant exit into the world and out of
the court house, and he expected
that if every officer was sure of a
banquet like that all of the officers
would quit the court house with
the expiration of their present
terms.
Isaac N. Tompkins responded to
the toast of ''The New" and said
that if the toast meant the new

for him. He paid a neat compliment
to the retiring officers by saying
that he had occasion to be at the

that he never had seen a set of books
