e N P THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE ¢ MAY 19, 1873, THE COURTS. . 5 A Bailif Accused of Corrupling a N Jury. N 'Eui'o‘f t;hs Great Railroad ,Gonstmfi-, o - - tion Case, 3 A Precocious Thief ‘Sexit to flio | Reform: School. - The case of Martin v. Day; which was tried in Judge Bogers' Conrt, some yeeks since, and was closely watohed by a large-proportion of the in- habitants of the town of Lemont, came up again inJudge Rogers' Conrt on Saturday, on a motion by plaintiff -for a now trisl. The original case . was. brought by Martin against Day to recover dsmages for malicions prosecntion, and resulted o favor of defendant.” The motion for new trial is based on the usual grounds, with an additional . connt in the natureof = charge against one of the " bailiffs of the Court of tampering with one of the furymen after they had -been-locked up -to con- sider theirverdict. *This accasstion is sapported by four afidavits. Michael Devanny’s -affidavit 3' **- gaverts that he was present during the -trial of Martin v. Day, and that he became familiar with. . the facial peculiarities of all the bailiffa of the Court, and of the jury trying the case ; that after the jury had retired, at about noon, he i+ 'the bailiff go tothe jury-room, take ont & jury- | man, lead him along & passage of the court toa xoom at the end of. the hall, and remain in there with him for abont six minutes, et the same ime :” cautioning sl people not to spproach, evidently, as affiant alleges, with the intention of kesping $hom n blissfal jgnorance of the insidions con versation he was pouring intothe juror's éar; that, witliin a eHort quarter of an hour after'the réturn of the jurorto the jury-room, the m returned s verdic in-favor of defendsnt, vl ‘affiant evidently-belioves was the result of the intarview between bailiff and juror, rather than the twelve men's honest convictions after srgu- ing thie points of the case. Similar afidavits were sworn to by Nicholas Poole, Edward Martin, and W. N. Bigelos. i THE RAILBROAD CONETRUOTION CASE. . The case of M. T. Seymour & Co. v._ Phillips . and - Colby, " Railroad Construction Company, which has taken up the attention of the United States Circuit Court for nearly a fortnight past, was concluded on Satarday. -'This is an action 0 covenant based on a contract for the construc- * tion of abont 160 miles of th Wisconsin Central ' while owing- plaintiffs * * engineers, including 15 per cent of ©‘and Jost the benetit of aul Railrosd Company’s lin from Stevens’ Point to Penokeo.

In the morning he' was better, and siropg hopes were entertained of his recovery. But, from some indescretion; the wound was opened afresh during the day," and bled so copiously that when the physician arrived hé ‘said tho- rosult “would' be fatal. The man conversed freely. about the affray, but his veraion of it does not differ mmaterially from that published yestarday. It istheold story of & household ruined and made bloody by whisky. Mra. Larsen, having recovered from her de- bauch, was in a very penitent ‘and regretful mood, when our reporter eaw her yesterdsy afternoon. ‘She freely admitted that she stabbed her husband, with a kmife, which later, she said was used about the house to cut_kindling. She could not tell what sho did with it. She appear- ed to regret more the condition of her cl ‘en, than thet of her husband. This woman onght to be skilled in the use of the lkmife, since she used'it lost summer in the same locality, to end the life of a man named Bay. She stabbed bi in the arm, and would have done worse, if she had not been restrained. ANOTHER OF THE SAME KIXD. The woman Larsen, at the corner of Carroll and Jefferson streets, had hardly withdrawn the knife from her husband’s body, When an encoun- ter of the same nature at No. 54 Wright strest. The parties to theaffairwere John Koofe, who was. the_ assailant, and Dennis Alaher an Peter Dormoly, who were the sassailed. Tho building above referred to ia & boarding-house, connected with which is o bar. Anticipating the 11 o'clock ordinance, these three young men be- gon toguzzlo liquor soon after sunset, and, by ' 11 o'clock, were completely under its influence.- - An old fend ha seg;mted Keefe and Maher for some time, but, having de- cided to drown the matter in #n dnlimited quan- tity of liquor, they sat down in the saloon to carry out their good Tesolves. - But their firm feslty to corn juice destroyed ‘all the lemiency which had tinctured their regard for one another, and after the use of 'some violent language, they resolved to settle the matter bi “wager of bat- tle,” ‘and . accordingly clinched. In the scufile, Keefe drew a dirk knife, and cut Maher severely in the wrist. Dormly, fearing that Keefe meant to inflict further injary with the deadly weapon, interferad to separate the combatants.’ Buf his efforts met with no appreciation from Keefe, who, enraged st his action, sgain . drew his dirk, this time cutting an ugly gosh in Dorm- 1y’s neck, on the right eide. . Both men being disabled, Keefe quietly put the lknife in his pockot, and went out inta the street. Abont 12 o'clock Sergeant O'Donnell, of the Twelfth Street Station, was informed of the affray, and at half-past 1 3. m. had Keefe locked up. Yes- $orday afternoon he was removed to the Madi- son Street, Station, and this morning will appear ‘before Justice Scally on the charge of commit~ ting an asssult with intent to kill.

An_.Unusual Occurrence, at Trinity Episcopal,’ w A& Chicago Times' Reporter Ejeoted ~From the Building, - - Vicissitudes of ‘the Man' Who ' Walks - Among the Churches.” ; Xt there is in this world cns Church, the ser- vice and ceremony of which is, more than ‘any other, intricate and puzzling to a non-church-, goer, it is tho Episcopalian, The frequent ups and downs, the occasional gennflexions; and'tho ubiquitous responses, never fail to create & mazo in tho mind of him who bas been accustomed to infidel, who never attends church nt all, tho éffect is almost maddening, and’ thio’ beautios’ of ‘the grand old litany are lost .completely and oyer- shadowed by the - ever-recurring moditition of {“What must I do next 7" Such an unfortunate was the observed of all ‘observers in Trinity Church yosterday morning. A sad-vissgod yombg ‘mai, ‘whose clothios, in contrast with the elogant’ get-ups of the members’ of the congregation, suggested s penurious employer and a very light ‘weekly romuneration, wallied up the middle aisle £ ahgrt time before the services began, and took & seat in one of the centre pews. . His co; plexion was the hectic flush of & consumption superinduced by lack of - healthy : nutriment | rather than the ruddy glow of s man whose daily work is such as to causo his blood to circulato with generous freedom through his veins. - With. the timid air of & man who is occupied in a<job, which he don’t balf like, he glanced . furtiyely around, and, seeing Bomo of- the male congraga- tion, freshly arrived, dip theirfacos for a minute in .their hats, with a-blissful iguorsuce. of what it moant, and, glad of. the excuso to Kide his features, ho dug his face into his hat and koptit there for a long ten minutes. Dauring the service his_motions were peculiarly erratic. It was evident he was not -at home. - When the congregation, “ with one ‘consent,” arose; he od aronnd in silent bewilderment, and, when ho did adapt himaelf to circumstances, it was 25 if in'an apparent endeavor to make up for lost time; with tho sudden energy of a reloassd #Jack in tho Box,”that he did so. During the reading of the first leason he leaned over to'a gmy—hmo_fl, venerable old gentleman sitting in ront of him, and shocked the poor old church~ oer's feelings, by asking him * What author o gontloman with tho “white necktio was resding from.”. While the Belief yas being read, the unfortunate, misplaced man was gazing long and earnestly af o young lady whoso Pow a8 atright anglos to his own, and Who, in common . with the rest-of the congregation,” 88 bowed at the proper moment. W taken for s recognition, and the religious old gentloman, whose. sonorous responses led the misplaced man to conclndo that he wasa deacon, or elder, was again questioned as to the adora’ Dlo's name. ** Strange,” muttered themisplaced ; “ Can’t say I know her;-evidently smitten,"an the lectic flush deopousd as. he realizedthe immensity ° of imaginary . conguest. During the rest of tha -, gervice -.the misplaced man’s conduct was in keeping. When the congrogation stood, he sat; - when they sat, ho stood, eroct and blushing, like a scarlet dahlia in a bed of balsams. When they uttered a response. Lo caught the words and re- peated them londly after they had finiehed ; and once or twice, at the conclusion of the besutiful church-music, he just mannged to stay himself from foot-stamping. What wonder, then, that, beforo the servico was half concluded, the mis- laced man was the obscrved of all observers,— o causo of frowna an the part of the male part of tho congregation, and of tho most sarcastio sneers on the part of tho ladies. Worse was to como, Mowover. The church-seryico was concluded, and the minister, 'the Rev. Edward Sullivan took his place”in the pul- pit. _ Simultancously with the introductory pray- er, iho misplaced man withdrew & noté-book and jack-knifo from his pocket, and placing the point of his lead-pencil on the pew-door, siced away at the lead, and brought it to the requisite. sharpness. The noise attracted the motice of minister and congregation, who, however, paid it no further attontion. The toxt was announced, the sermon was begun, and the_Times reporter, he who sneaks among the black sheep of the ity congregations ad collscts slanders o tho ofher ‘bisck sheep, began to tako notes. The misplaced man was misplaced no longer ; his oc- cupation had ~ begun; but, alss, how soon to “be ended! 'Ere he had taken 8 dozen ' motes, the -rich, melodious, -half- Drogue of - the miniater, assuming en nhaccns- tomed loudness and severity that startled”the congregation from entry to altar, and fell like s death-knell on the reporter's_ear, burst forth : “ A7q you taking notes - for the Zimes ?" These wero the simple words which the minister ut- tored, while in response, from tho pow whera sat the trembling, almost paralyzed, reporiar_came in pipping; quavering toes, " Yes sir, pléase sir; Mr. Storey says—". The rest of the response was lost in the minister’s rejoinder, ** Then I re- quest you not 1o stay. ‘I undoritand that tho presume. it partook of the scurrilous nature of the articles which have preceded it. I must, therefore, request the’ reprosentative of . thaf paper to cease_taking notes, or withdraw from the Church.” The. minister: then ‘resumed ' his sermon, and tha unfortunate Teporter, tho diead of ‘dismiseal * hanging like a Damoclean eword over his head, resumed taking notes. The hot Irish, blood "of the prescher.was.now: fairly ded - himself - admira- | - aroused, :yet he comman i bly, ‘and told the reporter that what- over he had beforo said’ bore Do reference to hiz' personally, but ' simply to bim n his offi- cinl capacity. - He then gently but firmly asked : | % Ate you going to leava the church, or not? " The uphappy man obeyed the Washington street instructions, and disrogarded the_mao) ‘more sensible -suggestion which camo from _the pulpit. . He remained rooted to his’seat. Several gentlemen in- thé congrégation” half:'rose as if with & detormination of suddenly sewing. upon 8 writ of ejectment,. .when tho poor young man seized his hat and departed. - .

A good, substantial farm-gato—one thatdocs not get out of order, that will not sag, in essy opensd and closed, that is stock-proof, is not ex- pensive, and has little regard to snow-drifts— 15 A DESIDERATUM “ to any farmer. Just sucha gate The Farm nd Garden” hns sought after for many long years, and one such hes at length been found, and is now the standard gate for * Rural Home."” -1t i stranga that we pass by the simple, nse- ful things of this life, and scck for some com-. plex, ill-arranged affair, and yet, in the end, we- come back to appreciato the plamn, useful things .that we had so long overlooked. ;This. is “par- . ticularly the case 1n regard to farm-gates. Pat- ent after patent has been taken out.for these- gates, ‘and the farmers have been swindled ablibitam, ad nauseam.’ This has' disgasted peoplo with patent gates to that extent thaf s peddler of these patents is in ‘danger, of bodily bharm when he presents the subject tow the fatmer, and especially if he should mention', ! ELIDING GATES .. ~° to 'him, -for_he is sensitive. on . thit . subjoct. Every little while we hear of some patent-man making a raid on the farmers who are usings eliding gate. Bomietimes they got the coveted 85 for the' claimed ‘infringement, sometimes they are promised it after the, case is fally in- vestigated, and sometimes they are ordered off the premises instanter, and they leave, muttering vengeance in a sult before the District Court of tho United States, but somehow they manage .to #alvo over their offended dignity and the tramp- ling down of their Tights, and pass on to’some other rural neighborhood and repeat their " de-' manda; byt thus far T have never heard fhat & suit has followed these threats. r— Bometime in 1856 or 7, I saw a. farm-gate on. the sliding plan, that rested on & sort of . p - CASTER-WIIEEL OR PULLY 2y attached to the gate-post.- The gates wers made double,—that is,- each part filled half of: the space when closed ; the eections were shoved ‘back over this caster-roller some thres or four feet, and then turned one-fourth around on the caater, thus leaviog the space’ open. . At the time, I thought that was 'a good ‘gate, and in- tended to obtain the castings and the right ;' the casti were held at $2 ‘per gate; -but I lost the add ress, and have never seen or heard of {hat precise plan for a gate sinca that time, & period of some sixteen or seventesn_ years, and the patent for which, if any, must have nearly or quite expired. Zprn s Boon after that time, we had what Bas been known 8s the sliding gate. Instead of ' the caster-wheol, an extra gate-post is sot & few inches from tho other, and & ¢ross board uniting the two, on which the- gate is- made to slide, and is turned one-fourth around in orderto open it; the only differcnce in the two boing = THE BOARD INSTEAD OF THE ROLLEE. ' And, for this Iatter gate, the farm-rights are claimed the patent'right perambulators. Whether both are chilnef under the same patent, Icannot say, but it is not probable that either would risk a suit on: their og]ginamy, 83 similar sliding gateshave been used for many yors prior to the issuing of such patents. Abont the date first mentioned, I saw s sliding gatoon thefarmof A. B. WHITNEY, OF LEE COUNTY. That gate rested on two iron sheaes, or rollers, 8 inches in dismeter, and 134 inches thick, Thi te was also in two panels,and each filled half of o 5pace of the roadway. The gate was simple, strong, cheap, and durable, but I was then look- ing for = better and more ornate gate for my farm, and so, in the meantime, until such a gate was brought forth, I put up the old swing-gate, with a gate-post a_dozen feot long, 13¢ feet in diameter, and tet in the ground at least 4 feet deop ; the gate-post itself Costing more than the gate-posts and iron-rollers of that of AMr. Whit- ney. Since that time I have iooked at all the fairs for the coming farm-gate, but IT DID NOT GOAE. y Year after year a new crop of gates has sprang up only to givo place to others, and to-dny we make B show in the way 'of farm gates. Our Agriclutural College farms are no better supplied than others. probably for the same rea- Bon stated above, that they have their idcas fixed upon an ornamental, chesp, durable, and easily- managed gate. In Decémber Inst, I made another visit to my old friend, Whitney, of the great apple orchard, and had occssion to pass throngh the SAME OLD SLIDING GATE. . * That is tho cheapest and: bost gate that was ever put on & farm,” said Alr. Whitney, a8, With a Ehovo, it went back on therollers. * And; would you think,” he continued, “that, after using this kind of gate for more than' twenty years, s mild-looking young man cama along ono day and claimed that he was the agent of the tentee, and demanded £5 for the farm-right. Bt contre 1" was indignant, and - told him to et off the premises at once, and, if I Bacd of Him 1 the neighborhood attempting to collect for farm-rights on his pretended pnems I would have him arrested as a swindler and black-mailer. The young man disappesred, and X have heard nodfiniot him or his pretend- od patent since. Why, tho gate was used on thia farm before the young geutleman was born.” Tt is possible that & farmer may inadvertently usea legitimate patent, for which he ought to pay the inventor; but such a caso is g0 improb- able that he should not- pay any claim of the kind until_sftera full investigation; and this matter is also one that it isaduty for the granges and farmers’ clubs W : <% . 7O INVESTIGATE, s and, if found to be a swindle, prosecution shonld follow; for, ass general flnnfi.’flmsa fellows: get away with what monsy they manage to Wheedle out of the people. These scoundrels shonld not be. permittedto go unwhipped of Justice. E i e T N THE MAKING 3 of this rolling or eliding gate, we need ordinarily a four-panel gate,- at 18, where the fence is threo or four to the panel,—farm-stock, but not hog or sheep, proof.. In case thio Iattor is required also, more boards.must be put in the ‘panel. If four' piecas of femcing, of 6- inch width, are usca, thess will make & panel 4 feet wide. ‘Tho tour pioces ‘of fencing aro laid on the ground _at' proper distances, and threo ‘battens cut from fencing, 4 feot long each, are used to form_ tho' panel, “ome -at éach exd sod ‘ono in the middie, Those aro pailed oach _piece ‘our - 8-penny wrought nails, and pclinchefl;_ in_addition to this, four 234 inch, 3¢ inch carriage-bolts should be isod st tho inaido end of csch panel. _ Thia ill insare the gate oy o en T pemve o mabo it maseh scre durable, & _IN REGARD TO ROLLERS, B as T could not find those suitable’ at the hard- ware stores, I called at the foundry, and bad & pattorn mado, and enongh cast fOr ten gates, which require four to & gate, or, inall, forty rollers, These rollers' were made +inches in diameter, with a surface of 13¢ inches, and so turned out between the centre and the rim that igh* but little over 2 pounds each. thoy g Thistake In giv- But I made ' one i ing the order for the . castings, ns T had the. hole in the centre cast with & 3-inch core, instead of having them cast solid and the Dolt-hole bored.- - The result is, that the pulleys aro not true when set in the gate, as they would have been had they been bored fora ch car- risge-bolt. 1bad ihe castings Bros,, in Chicago, whers the peitern | cast golid, they will be found about right. Buta pattem can bo' chesply made at any foundry- Ehop in the country, and the' castings supplied. In case they weighed double, the cost wonld not e & serious one, probably 10 or12 cents s ponnd for the castings and boring. The rollera are Dlaced on the gate-posts, one inch below. tho $op of the npper fence-bosrd, and are kept in place by a batten bolted io tho post ; & 10-inch inch earriage-bolt answering the purposo. en the panels are put up, the top will be 5 inches higger than the fence; and, as an ordina~ ry post-and-board fence is made 4 feot and 2 incgoe.; igh, the top of the gate will be 4 feet and 7 inches from the ground. This oxtra height will prevent snimals {rom ltlmp!ln§ to jump over tho gate, which they often do when the gate is of the same height as tho fence. The other roller is placed on the post next tho gate- post. THE MATEBIAL for a gate may be stated s follows : : EIE placen 16 foct 6 inch fencing, for punels; 4 fecea 16 oot 8 Such fsncig, Lor taitedn; 4 custir o 43 carriage care el 1 18 clinch-naile, 3 b 204 cut nalls, 1 gate i!he two lengths of the fence on which the gate panels are to be placed must be in line, in order to have the penels run free and to. meet in the contre, when' they are fastened “with a common barn-doorhasp, . .. - F, °T thiak that, ith this deacription, any farmer who is sccustomed to.tho use of thd saw, auger; and hammer, can make one of those gates with- out any difficulty. % v . THIS GaTe - = cannot be blown open by the wind, nor can_any farm animal open it : and when it is closed it 18 secure. It cannot sag, for thare are no hingesto i It cannot !lm toin the wind, for the wind can &t -no time have an advantsge on ita leverage, as_the long end is at least 10 ‘againgt 6 feet, and fecured to the fence itself. ‘It is not liable to be broken down by farm-anirnals, aait is higher than the fence, and the panels are too strong to give way to their weight. It’will seldom ba blocked by. the snow, for the snow seldom dnfts against the fence, but Lwo or three feet from it, leaving the gate free as in summer: The rollers are never clogged with “snow or”ice, {for they are at the top oi thg fence, and .ont ‘of the reach of any such obstruction. Take it, all- | in-all, it is the bes} farm-gate I have and, what is _more, I do not mgu 1t poxuil?le::t'ar any Flrty to load any part of it with a patent-fee or farm-right. 1f any man in thia State ever had s l‘i‘%‘gt.w a patent on it it 1a the father of Mr. AL tney, of Lee County, to whom allusion: has ‘been medo. ) . .
