The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1907-03-07

Scores of writer's and hlstor.
ians have described the stirring
times of the outbreak of the Civil
War, but 1t is doubtful if any one
ever drew as comprehensive a
picture of the events as oes Carl
Schurz IN his "Reminiscences, !"
in the March McClure's. Begin
nlng with the happenings that
followed the election of 1860, the
patriotic Schurz arraigns Presi
dent Buchanan s attitude and the
epidemic of compromise" that
infected the whole country. The
portentous first inauguration of
Lincoln is pictured with the hand
of master; and the attack on
Sumter and the inception Of the
conflict are so described that the
Great Tragedy unfolds before us
as on a stage. Even the comedy
foils OF tragedy are present, for
Schurz's droll wit relieves the
somber scenes with humorous
pictures and episodes.
Ia this number the author tells
also of his receiving the appoint
ment of Minister to Spain and
how in the midst of raising a reg
Iment of cavalry IN New York City
he was ordered to depart on hls
mission to Madrid. The install
ment closes with Schurz ahoat on
his way to Span.

lation OF the law on that subject on
complaint of Chris Stocker, was given
a trial in Justice Felkers court this af-
ternoon before jury, and was prompt
~ acquitted of violation of the law.

bath constituted a violation of the law
under which Mr.. Stocker was recently
fined s22.40 in the circuit court The
law under which the case was tried
states that no one shall be permitted
to follow his usual employment at Ia
Dor on sunday The defense contend
ed that the law was not violated in
the case of Sprinkle there being cir
| cumstances in his case which took him
| beyond the provisions of the statute.

the defense and argued the case be,
fore the Jury, and after celebrating a
few minutes the jurors returned TO the
court room with a verdict of not gull
| ty. The Jury was composed of Messrs.
Charles F. Stuckey, Charles +. Thomp
