against the child, is being sought by the

finding of her body has aroused tia
community. There was vigorous talk

New York, June 27.-New York's
white wings are still on strike. Garbage
in the streets and especially in the
crowded tenement districts is piling up
with alarming rapidity. Many citizens
have appealed 10 the health department
10 take action, but with the labor tie-up
on their hands the department officials
are able to do but little. On some of the
streets the piles of rubbish are so high
and numerous that wagons con hardly
pass, and the odor of decayed animal
and vegetable matter is almost unbear-
able. An added menace to the safety Of
citizens is the fire 10 fresh ash heaps. In
many places there are blazes Of consid-
cradle proportion along the sidewalks
Threatening the tenements and the lives
Of children in the street. The strike ex-
tended yesterday and more than half Of

The strikers say they do not intend to

neighbor, Nicaragua.

Mr.. S. G. BRENT, of this city, who

asked concerning the vacancy in this
iud circuit said
! do not believe that the governor
will make an appointment after his pos
tive declaration early in March that be
would leave the people, through their
representatives in the Legislature, free to
select Judge without the embarrassment
of an incumbent whose term by appoint
ment would be only temporary. L be-
lieye that 1 can say positively that
Gov. Swanson will make no appoint
men unless Judge Barley, who is acting
as circuit Judge in addition to his duties
az Judge of the Corporation Court OF this
CITY, should ask the governor to relieve
him of the duties OF the circuit judge
ship.
Under the constitution it is just as
much the Governors duty to fill va
caoCy as it is the legislatures duty to
elect officers. Governor SwsDson through
bad advice and worse judgment mace
a great mistake when he failed to aPpoiu
a Judge for this circuit when Judge
Ncol resigned. 1t is the nature of men

Mysterious Death.


New York, June 27.-Bafllej to ex-
plain how the msngled body of young
man was catapulted through the window
of Third avenue trolley car near the
east tower OF the Brooklyn bridge, the
New York police department has as-
signed its cleverest detectives to account
for a tragedy, the mystery of which
might puzzle Sherlock Holmes himself.
The victim is believed, from cards
found in his pockets, to have been John
Nelson, a Brooklyn machinist. Did be
kill himself? Was he murdered Or
did he die by accident? He may have
fallen from an "L" car or he may have
tumbled from a balloon for all the police
can learn.
The Third avenue car was just ap-
preaching the bridge tower late last
night when heavy body crashed through
the rear platform window into the center
Of the aisle. 1t was a mans corpse,
The neck and jaw were broken and two
ribs we're ismmed into the lungs. The
body couldn't have fallen from directly
overhead for the roof of the car extends
three feet over the window. There were
no wagons or automobiles above which
might have struck and hurled it into the
air.
The police figured that the man mus!
have tumbled from an t." or cable
train, struck a pillar and bounded side
wsys into the car. But no car can be
found on which such an accident oc-

There was panic 10 the car when the

THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE q. 1867.

The proceedings in the trial Of former
Judge William G. Loving for the kill
ing of Theodore !. Estes in Nelson coun-
ty several weeks ago, is read with inter-
eat daily. Some people are inclined to
believe that the ex-judge was victim
of precipiiancy, rsshness, brain storm or
some other disttmper, aud that young
Estes should, at leas., have been gwen
an opportunity to make an explanation
or defense. As the trial progresses many
things are brought out which the world
would never have known had the tragedy
not occurred, aud the notoriety the
former Judge and his daughter have
obtained is unenviatle. The prosecu-
tiou, it is said, will attempt to prove that
Miss Elizabeth Loving's story OF her
drive with the young man her father kill
ed was false. The State, 10 fact, declares
ii can prove there had been no assault.
The plea of the defense is that the mind
of Judge Loving had, after years of dis
sipstiOn, which frequently caused him
TO have delirium tremens from excessive
drinking Of whisky, became so impaired
that when he heard the story of his
daughter, that she had been drugged
and assaulted, he became deraDged and
was not responsible for his act in killing
Estes. Counsel for the defense through
the plea of emotional insanity succeeded
today in preventing shy attempt to i'm
peach the statement of Miss Loving.
