A SANE FOURTH.

As has been the case for several years
psst, the authorities of this city will en-
deavor to so enforce the laws concerning
explosives as to bring about, as near as
possible, sane Fourth of July. The
senseless practice of discharging guns,
pistols, csnnoncrackers, etc., on Christ
mas and the Fourth of July is by nc
means as universal as in by-gOne days,
and there is a growing sentiment against
this former adjunct to these holidays.
The number of accidents every year
from the careless handling of firearms,
toy pistols and cannon crackers on these
occasions have aroused the authorities o
many cities, where stringent laws have
been enacted against the explosive Tea
ture of these holidays.

A STATEMENT FROM REV. MR..
OAVNAUGH,

An item in this column few days
ago stated that preacher took bottle
of whisky from the pocket Of man at
the corner of King and Royal streets
and after having removed the cork
poured the liquor into the sewer. 1t
was naturally surmised that Rev. John
Osvnaugh, of the Free Methodist church,
was the preacher referred to- The
latter, however, denies that he deliber-
ately took the whisky from the man,
and says the latter was under the in
fiuence of stimulants aud became en-
gagged in a conversation with him, dur
ing which the preacher, seeing the bot.
tie in the tipsey mans pocket, asked
him what 1t contained. The conviVial
individual replied that it was filled
with whisky. Mr.. Cavnaugh asked
the man to give him the liquor, when
the bottle was handed TO him as gift
The minister after the man had volun'
tary presented him with the liquor, re-
moved the cork and poured the contents
oft the bottle into the sewer.

victed of the murder OF Walter f.
Schultz. Johnson and Pines have been

Oourt room, when Judge Barley heard
arguments by Mr.. l.. Fl. Mschtn on q
motion for new trial for Calvin john
SOD. MIR. Machen'S grounds that the
indictment against johnson WAS insnt-
ficieut: that the court had made severa
errors in regard TO admitting testimony
for the commonwealth, especially after
the case had been closed and was ia the
hands of the jury; also that there was
variance between the allegations of the
indictment aud the proof and that the
indictment was faulty 10 the manner in
which it alleged the killing; also that the
indictment did not conclude as the con.
stitution requires. He moved to set the
verdict aside as the evidence was no.
sufficient TO convict.
! Mr.. Brent argued In support OF the
indictment aud that he had right to
prove the convictions of Johnson In the
Police Court to which Mr.. Machen had
excepted. The court then took q recess
| till 3:15 this afternoon.

Barley overmled the motion and set
aside the verdict for new trial and SEN
fenced johnson to be electrocuted on
September 8. johnson was then taken

tered the door, "Nearer My God To
Thee"
