Cutting Affray.
Yesterday morning a difficulty occurred be-
tween a white man named Sid. Smith, and a

latter used his knife with some degree of effect
upon the person of the former, inflicting one
or two ugly gashes. Wimbly was ane-trd by
Officer Connolv, end will have a hearing be
fore t'ae recorder this mornin'.

A ftroHS Libel.
The New York Herald is zealous in its on-
slaughts upon Mr. Bergh, the chief of the
Society for"the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals, and in the intensity of its desire to make
points against wh.it it deems his ill-advised
course, it permits itself to be led into the com-
mission of a gross libel upon a whole section of
the country. The Herald, after citing numerous
acts of Mr. Bergh, which it denounces as in-
consistent and unworthy a true reformer,
adds:
All this is unworthy of Mr. Berth's heroism. Let
him drop it and go South. There he will find cru-
elty to animals in daily service practiced on a pro-
digious scale by poor whites and poor blacks.
From the northeastern corner of Virginia to the
sj .th-western corner of Texas he will hear the wan-
tc.i crack A the cruel whip resounding at every
hour of the day or night on the hide of the unof-
fending mule. Jfle will witne-s almost total in^-en-
sibiliry to the suffering of brutes «*n the part of
in unkind, except in some small places largely* set-
tled from the Nortii, like Jacksoavill-, in F orida,
where we believe that littlo anil-cruelty societies
hare been started in imitation of the organization
in New York. He will behold a boundless field for
the iepetition of his pristine exi loits in an honora-
ble an I beneficent reform. Let Mr. Bertrh go South
immediately, if he really waut.s to do the utmost
?ood of whk'ti lis is capable, and preach anti-cruelty
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, instead of re-
maining here to scare the theaters, bully the legis-
latures. persecute the t"incats and intimidate the
doctors. Go S uth, Mr. Bergh, an«l do truly good.
It dees seem that the Herald could have
vented its spite at an individual without
throwing a fling at a people, and that too,
when, in one section at least, it has no warrant
of truth. Speaking for Texas, The News
feels justified in saying that "the wanton
crack of the cruel \vbip" and 44 the almost
total insensibility to the suffering of brutes,"
are as little known and heard and seen here as
in the great city, where the work of Mr.
Bergh and his compeers is so sneered at by
the Herald. Galveston is the largest city in
the State, and from the nature of its business,
gives employment to a large number oi that
class most likely to be harsh with beasts of bur-
den ; and yet there are comparatively few occur-
rences, when even under the scrutinizing gaze of
Mr. Bergh, sufficient grounds could be found
by even that jealous guardian of dumb brute
rights, upon w hich to base a charge. True,
here, just as in the shadow of the great Herald
building, there are brutes in human form who
abuse their power over the dumb animals in
their keeping. For such there is a Jaw inflict-
ing a severe penalty, and this the courts en-
force whenever its aid is invoked. The records
how several cases on the city dockets during
the past year, every one of whom has been
li ted by the recorder. Can the fame be said of
the Herald's own great city! It is not s"> much
desire to defend the section from a l b 1 as it
is to resent a sneer and fl'ng at the South, that
tc-rv; held in *1(K) to appear before the Crimi-
nal Court.

Tlie Jetties.
A couple of bargeloads of stone were taken
out yesterday and sunk in the jetties. While
there i-i a small quantity of brush on hand, it
is yet not enough to begin mattie?s-making
with. Tne hig:i waters, however, are expect-
ed to begin receding in a few days, which will
allow supplies to come In, and then no hin-
drance will mark the progress of work, so long
as the funds hold out. If the committee which
i.s to go to Washington is successful with its
mission, the work will be pushed more rapid-
ly during the spring and summer than it has
ever U-en before, and a vast deal of improve-
ment is expected to follow as a substantial re-
sult.
military at IVIat'di Gras.
One of the most prominent aud pheasant fea-
tures of the Mardi Gras this year ;s going to be
the military parade, reception and -rand ball
at the Cotton Exchange. At the outset, the
fact that this po» tion of the festivities is in the
hands of the Galveston Artillery Company is
proof enough that it w ill be conducted in style
befitting the ccc isicn. There uro thirtj -seven
military companies in the State and a cordial
invitati.n has been extended to each to be
present. Responses of acceptance have been
received to ante from the Orange Rifles, of
Oiange, Bryan Rifles, of Bryan, Bienham
Greys, of Brenhani aud Qr.eeu Citv Guards, of
Dallas. Early and favoi abl replies are looked
for from the Houston Light Guard, Texas Old
Guard, Navasota Guards, Johnson Guards, of
Hempstead, Austin Greys, Lamar Rifles, of
Dallas, and the other companies whos« names
are not just now in mind.
Stray Notes.
Yesterday the thieatening frown that has
hun j; upon the face of the weat her was dis-
solved into a smile by the genial sun rays, and
a day of delightful pleasantness was experi-
enced. The sequence of the presence of such
bright hours was the appearance on the streets
of a large number of luoies during the after-
noon. Fashi< nable and stylish dresses, with
f .isliionablfc but most s upidly un-styiish hats,
were to be seen in cumbers.. How a pretty
Kirl can brii g herself to wear such an abomina-
tion on her head, as the big hats of the day, is
n.ore than an old bachelor can divine.
The German Club enjoyed a pleasant even-
ing in the Tremont Hotet parlors Itsc night.
Western Fire Company No. 0 will li.ld its
regular monthly meeting to-night, at the hall,
of Washington Company No. 1.
The insurance adjusters have been working
so steadily and ;-o rapidly that they have
pretty well settled tli • losses by the iate big
fire. One or two adjustments remain to be
closed, after which the result, of their labors
and settlements will be ma le known.
Street Paving.
It is understood that, the delav in paving
Tremont, between Market and Strand, is due
t > the failure of the contractor to get his
blocks; that no time is specified in the contract,
by which the work is to be completed, and
that so long as the delays continue the city
can say nothing. On the other hand it is said
the contractor is urging his supply agents as
fast as he can, and is desirous of finishing the
blocks by Mardi Gras. This, however, it is
doubtful if he can do, as only a little less than
three weeks remain before that time comes
upon u-:. Besides - hi • particular locality there
aret t ers in the busines portion of the town that
cry aloud for attention, aud i.o.iu more than
Twenty-second, north find south from Market,
and the surroundings of the ii i.rket-house.
During the past ten oait has be-n demon-
strated how much w< rk in these directions is
absolutely needed. Of c-..i: s.'. however, im-
provements upon them will ba dependent upon
tbe adoption of the budget,and ft*, mall that can
be learned, that will not occur until atter the
election. The danger is aid to bv* that some-
body's fingers may bJ buin-.d at tLe noils it' it
is picked up beforehand.

HA ILK OA D NOHES.
Marshall Herald, January 28: Chief En-
gineer R. A. Conolly, of the Sabine Pas5* and
Texas Northern Railway, having finish'd his
work here, left yesterday lor Chicago, Phila-
delphia and New York. We had an interview
with him before leaving, and he said that he
was satisfied with the agreement between the
company and the people of Marshall. He had
confidence that the people would perform their
part of the contract to secure the road at this
place; but that the work would be delayed
until the depot grounds were deeded
to the company. While he is absent
he will meet the directors and stock-
holders in New York, and will re-
port to them the condition of affairs here as to
the road. He believes his report will be re-
ceived as satisfactory. He will then contract
for iron, spikes and other material for the road,
aud will order the first engine made for the
oad. " These," he jocularly remarked, " we
will bring here and deposit as a guarantee, and
then commence work at the other end of the
road." There may be more truth than joke in
this, and it behooves our people to look to their
interest and see to it that their part of the
contract is fully met The rumor that the
machinery iu the Texas aud Pacific shops is
being moved away secretly at night is refuted
by tho officers and employes in the shops, and
a strict examination discovered no grounds for
the report.
Victoria Advocate: The engineer corps of
the New York, Texas and Mexican Railway
left last week to locate the coutiuuation of the
line westward from this city. The chief in
charge is Mr. G. W. Waite Active work is
now going on all along the line of the New
York, Texas and Mexican Railway, and with
good weather the first train over the line will
roll into Viotoria in March.
Decatur Tribuue: Traok-laying will begin
in a few days on the Fort Worth and Denver,
aud we confidently expect the cars to be run-
ning into Decatur early in the month of
March.
Henrietta Shield: Captain Beahan com-
pleted the survey of the line of the Fort Worth
and Denver road to its intersection with the
former surrey last Sundav. The two lines
meet near Wichita Falls. We understand that
the line through Henrietta is but a shade over
a mile longer than the former line, aud the
grades just as favorable. Under these condi-
tions there would seem to be no good reason
why our offer of $20,000 and the right of way
should not be sufficient inducements to the
company to bring the road into town. The
bonus of cash will probably pay all the ex-
pt n->e of bringing the road in, and the road
wiil be the gainer by the cost of the right of
way. Upon the whole, the prospects for a
village seem to brighten daily. The com
is in earnest, and the work of construction
be pushed to completion, at least as far west
as the hunured mile post, for bonds have been
issued, we understand, on the first hundred
miles of tbe road.
LIVE STOCK.
LagartoNews: A lot of good beeves r« *sed
Lagarto one day last week or the nearest
shipping point on a railroad. They were
bought of F. W. Shaeffer, and were extra good
cattle.

John T. Lytic was appointed delegate from
the W ool-growers' Association to the Stock-
men's Convention.
Victoria Advocate of Saturday: Notwith-
standing the severe freeze and sleet of last
week, owing to their very fine condition, but
very few catttle died, and as the grass is im-
proved, this will doubtless be a profitable year
for st-.ckmen in this vicinity.
Fioresville Chronicle: Noarly every sheep
and cattle owner of the western part of the
Stat3 who has not sufficient grazing land of his
own is now leasing, some paying as high as

Texas Live Stock Journal: After the Jour-
nal of last week had gone to press, the sale re-
torted therein by H. G. Bediord and Tidball,
,Tan Zaudt <fc Co. to Uarretson & Kaufman,
was changed somewhat. Instead of $100,000,
range delivery, the purchasers paid $15 per
head for the herd belonging to Tidball. \ an
Zaudt & Co. and H. G. Bedford, and $14 per
head for H. G. Bedford's individual stock, to
be counted out, including calves A Co-
manche correr-pondent writes us January 21:
" We have had lots of cold, rainy weather here
of late. Drew cattle some. Yearlings worth
$0 aud $10; twos. $12 aud $12. A large num-
ber of cattle will be driven from Comanche
this year." M. W. E. Chipman writes us
from~Gentry?s Mill, Hamilton county: "Some
cattle are selling at $11 for yearlings, and $i3
to $15 for two-year-olds."
Live Stock Journal: There was a time in
Texas when the rifle and the pistol were render-
ed necessary by the inroads and depredations
of Indians —but there are no Indians now, and
no need for men who can not drive cattle with-
out firearms. The necessities or the past pro-
duced a cowboy who is out of place in the
civilization of the present; but the remnant of
that past still lingers to retard the rapid ad-
vancement of the business to its full measure
of profit. Ranchmen should no longer make
proficiency in handling fiieanns the requisite
qualifications to employment—as has "some-
times been the case—but honesty, industry and
experience should be the test of a niau's fit-
ness for a cowboy's duties. If stockmen would
even go further, and refuse to employ
men who insist upon making walking arsenals
of themselves, the business would be generaily
benefited. There is nothing more disgusting
to business men thun to see cowboys in these
times of peace and safety loaded down with
guns and pistols. There is no need for this
display of firearms, they do not indicate cour-
age, but cowardice rather, aud it reflects upon
a business whose employes can not go among
their fellow men or about the discharge of
their duties without being armed to the teeth
Such displays are revolting to civilized people
and deter many good men from engaging in
the business. This wholesale arming of " cow-
boys " is a disgrace to stock-raising, injurious
to the business, provocative of lawlessness aud
crime, and should be prohibited by the laws of
the State, the rules of the associations and by
the owners of the ranches.
SMALL GRAIN.
Lagarto News: We were shown a fine speci-
men of oats last week. They were grown by
Mr. James McCampbell, and measured nearly
two feet in length.
Burnet Once-a-Week: Wheat crops are said
to be looking fine, in spite of the late bad spell.
Blanco Star: Quite a large acreage of spring
wheat will be sown this season, because of the
fact that the ground was too dry in the early
part of the fall to put in winter wheat.
Tlie Obseure Hayes.
An amusing incident occurred at the pension
office the other day. One of tho examiners, in
looking over the papers of an applicant for a
pension, found that it was indorsed by Ruth-
erford B. Hayes, of Fremont, Ohio. As is
customary when the character of the person
indorsing the claim are unknown, the post-
master of the town is written to for informa-
tion. The examiner evidently did not know
who Rutherford B. Hayes was, as he wrote to
the postmaster at Fremont, Oh;o, making the
usual inquiries. Greatness disappears with
painful rapidity.
Fire In New York.
New York, January 31.—a fire broke out
at 10 o'clock this morning in the building on
the corner of Park Row and Beekman street,
recently occupied by the New York World.
The flames spread rapidly and involved tho
entire block as far as the Times office. Tlie
latter suffered some damage, but the fire was
extinguished before doing serious harm to the
Times office. All the other building* in tbe
block were practically destroyed. It was
known that one woman was killed in trying
to escape by the window. She broke through
a canvas stretched to save her and her head
w as crushed. It is supposed other lives were
lo.-t.
The pecuniary loss is very heavy in the
block, including a large numper, of offices of
weekly and class newspapers and periodicals,
among which were the Scientific American,
New York Observer, Turf, Field and Farm,
the Scotch American Journal, .Thompson's
Bank Note and Commercial Reporter, Forest
and Stream, aud Italian, Spanish, Swedish,
German and Portuguese weekly journals, and
a number of advertising agencies in the build-
ing at 35, 37 and 39 Park Row. Among the
occupants of the ground floor are an extensive
rubber firm ana wholesale machinery and
hardware house. The list of losers is very
large and the amounts heavy. Rumors are
afloat that fifteen lives have been lost, but only
one corpse has been found so far.
The buildings destroyed or damaged in to-
day's fire comprised the entire triangular block
bounded by Park Row, Beekman and Nassau
streets, and was one of the most crowded
blocks in tho city, considering the space it cov-
ered. The upper floors were occupied by va-
rious manufacturing industries, and as com-
posing rooms of weekly newspapers, a majority
of which employed women compositors.
The fire began in an old building recently
occupied by the World newspaper It was he
property of ex-Congressman Orlaud B. Potter.
It was very large, extending from Park row
to Nassau street, along Beekman, with en-
trances only on Park row and Nassau street.
It was full of weeden partitions, corridors and
crooked stairways, anl has for years been re
garded by firemen with apprehension. Recent-
ly an elevator has been put in on the Nassau
street side, r;nd in this elevator-shaft the fire
originated in the basement, which Hew up the
shaft and filled the halls and stairways so
quickly with flames and smoke that escape by
that means was cut off before tbe occupants of
the upper floors suspected danger. Many peo-
ple were see.) by tuose in the streets below to
appear at the windows of the burning building,
with hair and garments ablazs, but soon dis-
appeared. One man, who gained the rocf aud
escaped by the Times building, shouted to the
rescuers that scorea of people were cut off
from escape. Some jumped from windows,
and were killed or mortally injured on the
pavements. One or two boys, who jumped,
had legs broken by striking the telegraph
wires, and escaped with serious injury; but
one large, heavy man, who leaped from a
third story window on Nassau street, struck a
net-work of wires, which nearly cut him to
pieces as he crashed through thein. The fire
stopped at the Times building. The heaviest
losers in money are O. B. Potter, owner
of the building, and the New York
Belting and Packing Company, the lat-
ter a tenant. They lose $150,000 on
stock, insured for $100,000. Nothing approach-
ing an accurate statement of casualties can
yet be given, as the bodies of the dead were
quickly carried av/ay to different places and
the wounded were hurried to hospitals, where
some afterwards died. Many deeas of heroism
were performed by firemen and citizens, and
two colored boys excited enthusiasm in two
different localities by their presence of mind
and bravery, which resulted, in one case, in
saving five and another three workmen, whose
escape seemed hopeless.
The police officials think that no more than
half a dozen lives were lost by to-day's fire.
Many of the missing are turning up, and peo-
ple are becoming cooler. Minor casuahties
among people who were able to go home are
numerous.
The police render the following as their esti-
mate of losses: New York Belting and Packing
Company, $100,000; Pettingill & Co., $50,000;
New York Observer, $10,000; Turf, Field and
Farm, $5000; Scottish American, $10,000;
Wiiley Wallach, stationers, $50,000; Marks,
tailor, $20,000- Roderaquez & Fords, c gars,
$$000; Orlando Potter building, $50,000;
Eugene Ke ley building, $5000; Evening Mail
building, $2d00; Morse building, $5000; Nash
& Crook, restaurant, $5000; Times building,
$5000. But thi^ liit docs not embrace half the
losses, and in the cases of some mentioned the
amounts are much below the acknowledged
lo-ses.
Four men who worked in the burned buikl-
ig had not put in an appearance at their
homes up to 9 this evening, and their names
were reported at police headquarters. These
are additional to those identified as killed or
injured.
New York, January 31.—The fire is still
burning fiercely in the ruins of the Park Row
building, and the flames can hardly be ex-
tinguished before morning, and it will be late
in the day before the debris is sufficiently cool
to allow exploration.
Nominations by the President.
Washington, January 31.—The president

French f« id American Claims.
This commission met to-day. In the case
of James V. Lapuyde vs. the" United States,
the commission granted leave to claimants to
amend their memorial. In the case of Wiltz,
administrator, vs. the United States, which
has been before the commission for some time,
and in which the right of an administrator to
appear as claimant is questioned, was brought
up again by the refusal of the commission to
permit French beneficiaries to appear.
The French commissioner announced that
he reserved the right of these French citizens
for the future. The French counsel moved
that the order in this case be vacated, which
motio i was discussed by the counsel for the
respective governments, and reserved by the
commission for its cjusideration.
The commission dismissed the following
cases by consent of counsel of both govern
ments, on the ground that the court had no
jurisdiction: Crozal vs. United States, No.
125; Salsinan vs. United States, No. 149
Kuntz vs. United States, No. 404; Meyer vs.
United States, No. 416; Kline vs. United
States, No. 618; and Fay vs. United States,
No. 525. Adjourned until to-morrow.

another desperate encounter near Bilek, with
the loss of twenty men on each side. Thirty-
five men from Dalmatian regiments deserted

A contract was signed with the Austrian
Lloyds to transport 30,0t0 men to South Dal-
matian ports, and nine largo steamers are
continually employed.
Programme of the New Cabinet.
Paris, January 31.—In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day M. de Freycinet read the pro-
gramme of the new cabinet, it sets forth
the p ilicy of government to be, above all,
calculated to establish peace in the minds of
the people at home a d abroad.
It will be firm, conciliatory, as liberty and
progress are necessary for France. Th 1 gov-
ernment will apply in a liberal sense th" laws
relative to the press and the rip;ht of public
meeting. A b; I w II be ubmitte I sanctioning
the right of extradition for political as=-a illa-
tion, while maintaining the right of state. F-—
vision of the constitution ought to be post-
poned until the expiration of the term of the
present leg slature. Judiciary, military and
education reforms initiated by the late cabinet
wiil be preserved; the efforts of the cabii et ill
be directed in giving an impetus to labor;
nations do not live by politics, but bv busi-
ness. Th° government does not intend to pro-
pose coinpuisorv conversion of debt on uur-
chase of railways by the state. No • fforts will be
spared to arrive at n definite solution of the
tariff ques ion, and for the moral and intellec-
tual improvement of tho people.
Paris, January 31.—De Freycinet concluded
his statement of the policy of ti e now Cham-
bers by appealing to the Chambers to give the
government th ir confidence. His speech was
received with cheers.
M. Say announced that the budget pressntad
by his predecessor would l>e withdrawn.
M. Andreux gave notice that he would on
Thursday submit a proposal looking to the
amelioration of the condition of the Paris and
Lyons Bo arse.
A grant of 6,000,000 francs for military ex-
penses in Tunis during February and March,
18>2, was subsequently voted.
The extreme Left intend to interpel'ate the
government with regard to shelving the Re-
vision bill.
In the Senate the government's declaration
of policy was applauded. The Senate will
proceed to the election of a president in place
of M. Say Thins lay.
A Letter from Gladstone.
London, January 31.—The Times publishes
a letter of Glad-t^ne, replying to a corre-
spondent who ur^ed the release of imprisoned
suspects. Gladstone says; The first duty of
the government is to preserve law and order.
You can not consistently release these indi-
viduals until they hrive lost their perverseness
or have renounced their int ntion of pursuing
a course of disturbance. Neither of these con-
ditions is so far apparently fulfilled. The gov-
ernment thus far has no alternative buc to
persevere with a most painful duty.
HSilliards at Paris.
Paris. January 31.—In the international
billiard match to-night—the second evening
of tbe game—Slosson resumed his cue and
made a run of 56. As play progressed Vignaux
brought his score of yesterday up to 600, was
soon even with the American, and then shot-
ahead of him, finishing the evening with a
total score of 1200. SI >sson added omy 208 to
his last night's score, leaving off with a total
of SOS. Vignaux's average to-night was 30 6-7;
Slosson's 7 3-7.
John Dillon's Letter.
London, January 31.—John Dillon writes as
follows to Forster, "chief secretary for Irelat d:
I have received your message, that if I de
sired to go to the Continent tin gates of the
prison are opened to me. 1 do not know why
the message was sent to me, as I have made

tions have beeu ma le by my friends they are
without my consent or knowledge. I must
request that you will not addles^ to me any
further communications.
The Anglo-Freucli Treaty.
Paris, January 31.—At a council of minis-
ters held at the house of M. de Freycinet it
d-cided to consider the concessions offered
England by the Gambetta cabinet in regard
to the t. eaty of commerce as an accomplished
fact.
The Senate has adopted the bill for thr^e
months prolongation of the commercial ir aty,
which passed the Chamber of Deputies yester-
day.
The Union Generale.
London, January 31.—A Paris correspon
ent of the Times explains that the suspension
of the Union Generale will have in one partic-
ular a favorable effect, as the new issue of
100,000 shares at a premium of 350 francs,
which had been decided upon, but not yet
made, will of course fali through, and many
persons who purchased thes9 shares for rise in
anticipation, will be ?aved from loss.

The Foreman Interviewed.
A boliemian had a talk with the foreman of
the Guiteau jury a few days ago, and elicited
the followiug:
The foreman of the jury, Mr. John P. Ham-
lin, was found by a Washington Post reporter
last night surrounded by a number of his
friends, and glad enough that his tiresome
duties were at last over.
41 feel," said he, " as though I had just com-
pleted a laborious job of plowing, and am just
as tired as though I had been all this time per-
forming manual labor—in fact, completely
worn out, physically and mentally."
"Did you observe the face of Guiteau when
you rendered the verdict ?"
"No; it was so dark that I couldn't see his
face well."
When out, was there any discussion among
the members of the jury ? If so, upon what
points ?"
" Very little time was spent in discu <iion.
The indietmf-nts were all read over, and, .lon-
sidering the length of time it took to do this,
and the fact that we were out but forty min
utes, you wdl see that we had little time left
for discussion."
Was there any hitch at all, or was it gen-
erally understood between you before going
t what your verdict would be?"
*' It was tacitly understood, or we should
not have asked that the court charge us then,
instead of waiting till morning."
How long do you th nk it has been since
all the jurors believed Guiteau sane?"
" Well, that's hard to tell. I think, how-
ever, that there has been little or no doubt of
hie sanity since the testimony of Dr. Noble
Young. He is a Washingtouian, and every
man on tbe jury had faith in his judgment as
an expert."
"You think then that his testimony was
effective with the jury?"
"Yes. He gave his testimony in such a
clear, sensible manner, devoid of technical
terms so often employed by other experts, and
appeared to know just what he was talking
about. He seemed to understand Guiteau so
well. I am convinced that Dr. Young's testi-
mony did more to convict Guiteau tha all the
other testimony put together."
"Did you receive any letters of sufficient
importance to refer to during the trial i"
" Well, yes. I read nothing, however, until
to-night after we were discharged, not even a
letter. My mail was in Judge Cox's hands until
this evening. Among my letters I found one
signed by Jack Brown, of Georgia, in which
he says that if we (the jury) do not render a
verdict of guilty, we would hear from 700
strong in Georgia who had sworn that not a
juror should live. They would kill the last
man of us if Guiteau escaped the gallows."
' Were there any more letters of a similar
character?"
4 No; but here is one that may be worthy of
note," said Mr. Hamlin, handing the Post a
letter written evidently by a lady, and signed
" Ladies of the South Side, Chicago." They
denounce Charles H. Reed as the " greatest
villain that ever put foot ,in Cuicago." They
appeal to the jury to find Guiteau guilty, for
" ycu know full well that our dear Savior
never inspired any one to do wrong."
The following was the concluding and clinch-
ing part of Dr. Young's testimony:
The District Attorney—From your conver-
sation with and observation of the prisoner,
wLat is your opinion of his sanity or insanity?
The witness (with a smile of incredulity)—
He is a perfectly sane man; as brigut and in-
telligent a man as you would see in a summer
day; bright and quick and intelligent. I
never saw anything in him that savored of in-
sanity.
The Verdict Against ITIrs. A. T. Stewart.
IFrom the Brooklyn Eagle. 1
The jury in the case of Thomas H. String-
ham against Mrs. A. T. Stewart have rendered
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $16,000.
The issue has been on trial in the Circuit
Court for the past three days. Stringham
was employed as'a day laborer at Garde i City,
and had his legs broken beyond the possi bility
of being restored to usefulness again, by the
falling of an elevator in a granary owned by
the defendant, while he was at work on it.
The defense tried to show that pla ntiff was
himself to blame in that he had been warn-d
not to use tho elevator, which was unquestion-
ably dangerous, but the weight of evidence
was altogether against this pl< a. Tne truth
seems to be that this man was crippled for i ife
because the thought of protecting common
humanity had much less place in the mind
or the Stewart estate than that of adding dol-
lar to dollar. If the elevator was da igercus,
why was it permitted to b- kept in operation ?
If this man was warned not to ascend and de-
scend by it, how did it come that no complaint
of his doing so was made till he tiled bis c'aim
for damages? The answers to these questions
made by the defense did not satisfy the jury.
It may now be inquired whether the damages
awarded are not excessive, and it will perhaps
be suggested that the award would have been
lighter had not Mrs. Stewart b_en known to
bo a very wealthy lady. How much weight
was given to the lady's overflowing coffers
by the jury the Eagle has no means of
learning, but until some honest, industrious
young man with little children and a wife de-
pendent on him appears willing for less than
$16,000 to have his legs broken and mangled
so that they shall never again sustain the
weight of his body, we shall regard the judg
nient rendered as exceedingly moderate. All
the interests of society are on the side of com-
pelling those who employ men in dangerous
work to take every precaution possible to in-
sure their safety. In this case the award
is especially gratifying because of the
meanness with which the iujured man
was treated. For the first six months
oi his illness he was allowed the princely
sum of a dollar per day. At the end of that
time the estate, feeling no doubt that it had
been generous to th* spendthrift point, shut
down on him, and left his wife to do the best
she could unaided for his and her children's
inai':fcmence. A person with a little bit of a
h arc, though not the heir to millions, would
have made some exerf^on to keep the wolf
from the door. It is highly probable that had
any such spirit been shown this suit would
n ver have been brought. Avarice, like vault-
ing ambition, may overleap itself and fall on
the other side.

The Oil monopoly*
New York, January 24.—A leading topic
ann ng the oil brokers to-day was the news
that the Standard Oil Company lad absorbed
the Buffalo and Rock City pipe line and the
Atlas oil refinery, of Buffalo. The stockhold-
ers put $4,000,000 into the business and raised
$300,000 more on bonds when the companies
were started. The refinery is one of the
largest in the country, and the line is about
seventy miles long, and can discbarge over two
hundred barrels an hour. A member of the
Niagara Refining Company, of Buffalo,
an nnt -Standard establishment, said t .at the
other iddependent refiners of that city rested
all their hope of success e^<ainst the monopoly
on the Atlas company. Thirty anti-Standard
rafineries came into ex.s.e ce last year, t > a
great extent becabse of the belief in the
strength and sincerity of the Atlas company
and the Buffalo Pipe-line company. Since
these companies and the Standard commenced
to dicker, a month ago, the independent re-
fineries hwe b en comLolied to receive their
oil by the Bulialo and "New York Railroad.
As the pipe-line and the refiu ei y
are substantially one, there is no
doubt that the Standard now- controls the en-
tire oil trade of Buffalo. It was stated that the
Atlas refinery, finding it impossible to stand
up against the mon-oy and me:hods of the
Standard, had proposed to the latter to take
the business off its hands. The reported price
is but $250,000. The Standard, it is thought,
instead of abandoning the works, will run
them to "their full capacity of 20,000 barrels a
day. There was a report to-day that n go ia-
tions were in progress looking to tue consolida-
tion of tho Tidewater Pipe line with the
Standard lines. With the Tidewater in its
possession ti e Standard would be dictator of
the petroleum trade of the world.
Dread of Potter's Field.
[New York Sua.]
An Eighth avenue undertaker sat in his office
yesterday, chatting cheerfully witn a friend.
In the twilight the small spark of his cigar
shone like a dozen glow-worms in tbe glass
fronts of as many caskets which stood on end
about the walls of the warerooms. A boy in
brass buttons entered with a telegram, on
which the undertaker paid the charges. He
read it, threw it down on the desk, and said:
"By George!" Then he called out: "Gus,
»et ready a horse and wagon. Isn't it strange,"
Se went on, " how these people dread going to
the Potter's field?"
1 What people?"
4 Why, everybody. Here's a poor woman
who sent to us over a month ago and asked if
we'd take charge of $50 for her. She was ill,
and was sure she might die any day, and she
wanted to know that her funeral expenses
were surely paid for. I took the money and
sent our receipt. 1 hadn't heard from her
since, and had given her up. And now here
come3 word she's dead.

Everybody wants it, but. very few get It,
because most people do not know now te
select coffoo, or it is spoiled In the roasting
or making. To obviate these difficulties
has been our study. Thurber's package
coffees are selected by an expert who un-
derstands the art of blending various fla-
vors. They are roasted in the most perfect
manner (it is impossible to roast well in
6mall quantities), then put in pound pack-
ages (in the bean, not ground,) bearing our
signature as a guarantee of genuineness,
and each package contains the Thurber
recipe for making good Coffee. We pack
two kinds, Thurber's " No. 3i," strong
and pungent; Thurber's "No. 41," mild
and rich. On© or the other will suit every
tastr\ They have the three great points,
goad quality, honest quantity, reasonable
pries. Auk your Grocer for Thurber's
roasted Coffee in pound packages, "No. 34'
or "No. 41." Do not ba put off with any
other kind—your own palate will tell you
what is best.
Whore persons desire it, we also furnish
the "Ideal" Coffee-pot, the simplest, best
