! death of this man. We will suppose
that he saw him approaching the
Hamilton house and shoots him from
his window and then rushes upon the
scene fiinging the pistol one side, and
was there, as we know he was, be-
fore Mr.. Carter could get there. Or,
we will suppose that some other per-
son, Solomon Marks, for instance, got
possession Of Dan Fry's pistol and
followed Edes, shot him, and disap-
peared down the river.
"It is well known in Grovedale, and
can be proved by half score Of wit
nesses, that Solomon Marks was
twice closeted with the defendant,
and that he went to the Fry house,
when it is easy to suppose he found
an opportunity to get possession OF
the pistol, to make 1t appear that
my client committed suicide-for
there is no doubt but that the shot
was fired to kill him. Now, it is per-
fectly clear to me and must be to
you, that the false claimant under
took, either by his own hand, or an
others, to rid himself Of trouble
some person-troublesom because
the true claimant But did he sue
coed? No; the very shot fired to send
Vane Hamilton out of the world re-
stored him to the full possession OF
his faculties. Strange, yet true! Can
we doubt, after such a manifestation
in the overruling for good of the
Divine Providence, which so often
says to crime, Thus far shalt thou
go, but no farther he recovered to
prosecute his claims to his family and
estate?"
1t was then five o'clock, and an adj
journment was taken until the next
morning.
When the little court house bell be-
gan to ring next day the streets rap
idly filled, and soon the small room
was thronged with eager spectators.
The work of the day was entered
upoE promptly by the calling Of the
witness, George Barnstead, to the
stand.
He gave a straightforward testi-
mony, corresponding to Mr.. Morley's

MINISTERIAL WORK.
Divide the Borough Into Districts
Just as Politicians Do.

In the work of reaching the I'M
churched masses the ministers Of
Brooklyn are going to divide the
borough into districts, just as the poll
ticians do, and make systematic
house-to-house canvass. Statistics
show that there are something like
100000 people in that city who have
no church affiliation. The systematic
canvass plan was tried in the Four
teenth assembly district in Manhat-
tan by st. Marks Episcopal church,
with the result that 80 families who
had not been known or who had drop
ped out were added to the Episcopal
churches of the district. The Brook
Ign ministers are confident they will
increase their church rolls by at least
$4,000 members by the first Of the
year. Churches of all denominations
have joined in the movement.

Tried to Die in Comfort.

William Monroe, of Kalamazoo,
Mich, having reached the age of IS a
few days ago, decided that he had out
lived his usefulness and therefore
cut his throat, partially severing the
windpipe, but missing the jugular
vein. Just then his wife came in and
found him sitting calmly in an easy
chair, smoking his pipe, while blood
gushed from the wound. She hastily
bound a cloth around his neck and
later a surgeon sewed up the wound

Mr.. Barnstead slightly flushed and
irate, left the witness stand.
Mrs. Hamilton's testimony came
next, and was given in a graceful,
though shrinking manner. She re-
lated the various tests to which she
had subjected the two claimants at
various times, and said that both had
responded readily, but that the de-
PENDANT invariably hesitated for
moment before replying, but that the
plaintiff did not.
The Judge at this juncture proposed
that she subject them to some test
in the presence of the jury. If there
was any point which remained unset
tied in her own mind.
There is one," said Mrs. Hamilton.
'Is it of a nature to be conclusive%
he asked.
81 think it Is. 1t is something that
I do not know myself, but that my

There was a decided stir in the
court room at the proposition, so out
of the usual course; and as the de-
PENDANT arose and walked into the
small office adjoining the court room.

hardly breathed, so deep was the
feeling in expectation of something

LIGHT HOUSE AS MONUMENT.
JnDanese Will Erect ON OkInO Is
land Useful Memorial Of Re-
cent Victories.

Toxic, June Sin response to thous-
ands Of suggestions and inquiries re-
ceived, the navy department has de-
cided to erect an enormous lighthouse
on Okino island as a monument to COM
memorate Admiral Togo's great naval
victory over the Russian feet In the
battle of the Sea of Japan.
1t is planned to have the light snow
for a distance of 80 miles, practically
covering the entire scene OF the bat
tie.
This plan has been adopted over all
Others because the monument will be
near the scene of battle and stand con-
stantly in the sight and memory OF
the officers and men Of the Japanese
navy and will also be great convent
ence to navigation. If there should
be a future war it will prevent disas-
tiers similar to those which overlook
the transports Hitachi and Sado.
The light house will be erected by
popular subscription. 1t is believed 1t
will be open throughout Japan.
