Bryant's Pond.

Christmas was a wild, clustering day,
and the roads were so badly blocked that
the idea of holding services at the church
was abandoned.

though the ice is not very thick yet, be-

One result of this affair, probably not
anticipated by the central figure-the
buried miner-during his long under.
ground vacation, is that he has had
numerous offers to 60 into museums, on
the stage, etc., and is in fair way to
earn more money in the next few months
than he ever dreamed Of. It is to be
hoped that sudden prosperity won't turn
his head.

report of tue hearing says that the case
began at Z O'Clock and at 8 o'clock the
divorce had been granted and Mrs. Blaine

added that this breaks the record for

means that that is the longest time ever

Aged Henry
Fischer's Trial
tcontinued from page One,

~
court decided were improper were
passed upon. The objection to a num.
Der Of them was that they recited
facts which had been. or ought 10
have been testified to by witnesses:
the objection to others was that they
were leading or suggestive OF the an.
swer desired. Such questions the
court decided were entirely improper.
The third error was the improper
remarks OF the trial judge In the
presence of the Jury. The record
showed that Judge Showalter made
some remarks complimentary to Mr..
Ed. Warwick, while he was under
cross examination, which might have
had a tendency to make the Jury re-.
gard his testimony with more con.
ffdence they they would otherwise
give 1t, and again he had said. while
admitting certain documentary eyi,
dence. that this was a peculiar case,
and that the State ought to have
more latitude than usual. Both of
these remarks, Judge Moss though,
were improper. and might have injuri.
ously affected the rights Of the pris.
oner.
The court held that the indictment.
against Fischer is good; that the
Homestead Building Association was
a corporation, was fully established:
that J. Henry Fischer was proven
to be its treasurer; that the fact that
some Of the money was taken at the
store made no difference, and that
the relationship by marriage of some
OF the jurors to some of the stock.
holders of the association, was not
sufficient to disquality them after
they had been sworn. 1t was also
pointed out, as a matter of law for
the guidance Of both parties in IN.
ture trials of the case, that there Is
a wide distinction between embezzle.
ment and the mere detention of
money.
The main ground upon which the
verdict was set aside was that i'm
proper documentary evidence was re.
ceived. Judge Moss expressly decided
that the blotter, which was moi kent
by Fischer, but by Alexander. tb.
cash book, not kept by Fischer dur.
ing the period of the el1eged embeh.
Element, and the report of e. w. War.
nick, made up from the two last
named books and statements furnished
by the banks. were not properly ad.
Missile as evidence against Fischer.
1t was fntinnated that the original de.
post slips and the stockholders pass
books would constitute proper evi.
dence Of the transaction OF the defend.
ant.
In concluding his opinion Judge
Moss said: ITO convict any man, no
matter what he is charged with, up.
on such evidence as this, would be
an outrage on any civilized com.
munity. J. H. Fischer is entitled 70
a fair trial, and with all respect to
every body. in the Judgment of this
court, he did not get it, or anything
near 1t. The case must be reversed
and sent back to the criminal court
for a new trial"

Baltimore announcing the following
promotions in the operating depart
ment, effective january |: F. c. Batch
elor. from superintendent at Chicago
to general manager OF the Main line
system, with headquarters at Baitf.

was appointed general manager of the

Pittsburg division to superintendent
at Chicago, succeeding Mr.. Batche.
Tor; q. A. Peck from superintendent
OF the New Castle division to superin.
tendent Of the Pittsburg division, in
place of Mr.. Duer; H. H. Temple from
engineer Of maintenance of way OF
Pittsburg system to superintendent Of
the New Castle division, succeeding
Mr.. Peck.
While Mr.. Duer was some time ago
announced for the superintendent at
Baltimore this was afterward called
off through the change brought by
promoting Mr.. Bent to Cincinnati
Something better was said to be In

enviable record in the past four years
In Pittsbnrg. and he Is now given the
highest superintendency. on the sys.
TEN. He will report directly to Gen.
eral Manager Fitzgerald and will be
the company's head officer at Chicago.
Roads Cutting out the Age Limit.
Several railroads that out-oslerized
Osler a few years ago by ruling that
no man over 50 years old could be EN-.
ployed, are finding the rule so absurd
In many instances that it is being east
aside for the rule of common n
Officers find hat some men are old at
30 while others are young at 60, while
common n and ability to serve In
best capacity is not limited by the year
limit. Experience goes a long distance
In railroading, and often rather than
train a young man into some job the
roads nrc now taking a man who has
had experience in 1t on another road.
Among the roads hat have been yir.
tualiy ignoring the age limit for some
time are the Alton, st. Paul and Burl-

that the best man who can be found.
