Navigation Closed by the Water not Drawn Off the Canal—Sunday Work. Correspondence of Te Stan. Hacrnstown, Dec, 21, 1888, ‘The issuing of way-bills on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal have been discontinued for the season, thus virtually suspending navigation, but the water will not be drawn off for several days, The season has been a fairly good one, with but little interruption by washouts ands free supply of freight. The boatmen, there- fore, go into winter quarters under more favor- able circumstances than for several years past. The case of Charles Seibert, the man who brought a baby from Wash- ington in a basket and de- posited it on the porch of the orphan’s home in this city, did not come on for trial at the term of court now about to close, as was expected. Seibert was indicted for an “as- sault” upon the child, a very singular pro- ceeding’ but one justified by an old’ Maryfand statue. ‘The inference now is that Seibert will be allowed to go free upon providing for the maintenance of the infant, The triai of Sheriff Gattrell, indicted for mal- feasance in office, has occupied the attention of the circuit court of this county for several days, A large number of witnesses testified thatthe jail was kept in» most horribly filthy condition, while as many more gave testimony that the institution was no worse than any other. One of the witnesses,a prisoner in the jail, startled the court and the jary by the “an- nouncement that he wasallowed to go to his home at adistant town at night to visit his wife. This statement brought forth from Jud, rebuke that is likely to have weight with the jury in rendering a verdict. An evidence that there is considerable money in this locality seeking investment is the fact that ten shares of stock of the First National bank of this city, par value $10 per share, sold at public sale for $21.24 per share, jammer a number of men employed by | the Washington county water company at the reservoir were arrested and fined by a magis- | trate for working on Sunday. The men ap-| pealed, and the case came up a few days ago in court before Judges Alvey and Syester. It appeared that the men had been engaged in making an artesian well, and that the cribbing | had given way and the men were busy repair-| ing the work; that a failure to repair the | damage promptly would have resulted in great | loss and possibly have endangered the water supply of the town. Upon these facts the court promptly reversed ‘the decision by the magistrate, and in doing so Judge Alvey gave an excellent review of the reasons governing the Sunday law, and distinguishing works of necessity and charity from ordinary labor and a desecration of the sanctity of the day. | Mr. Patterson Preston, of Washington, is | among the visitors, who will spend the Christ- mas holidays here.

PARDONED BY THE PRESIDENT HE REJOINS HIS CHILDREN IN NEW ORLEANS. The old man Harry Smith, convicted in the Criminal Court, December 9 last, of horse-steal- ing, was some weeks ago pardoned by the President conditionally. Having complied with the conditions by returning to his home in New Orleans the pardon is now effective. Smith, who is now about eighty years old, seemed to have a mania for horse-stealing, an had been arrested several times here and in Maryland. His last arrest, after having served aterm in the Maryland penitentiary for. jail- breaking at Towson, was on October 13, ona charge of horse-stealing. He was tried Dee. 9, and defended by Judge Walker; was convicted, and in Jan. 20 last was sentenced to the Albany penitentiary fortwo years. Efforts were then made to have him adjudged insane, alker then went to work to secure a pardon, and succeeded in pro- curing one on condition that the old man would return to his children in Louisiana. Mrs. L. Barnard furnished the means for his transpor- tation, and leaving the city on Thursday he ar- rived in New Orleans, and found some of his children, who had snpposed him dead.

Johnson, on appeal, was called for sentence. It was charged that Young shot ata boy. He denied that he had been convicted of crime, but admitted that in the Police Court he was fined for a fracas with Martha McPherson and for “loud and boistering.” He said to the court that there were three other John Youngs. The court said he was at a loss to understand why the case was not of intent to kill, and he could not make, under the testimony and con- viction, less than the maximum, one year in jail, and that was the sentence. Mr. Walker stated that he would endeavor to procure affi- davits on which to base a motion for anew James Wright, a white boy, nineteen years old, convicted of embezzlement, was next called. He asked the leniency of the court. The judge remarked that this was the second time ‘the prisoner had been before the court, the sentence — been suspended in the first case. He asked the prisoner whether if he was allowed to escape the penitentiary this time he could keep out of mischief? Wright gave an emphatic “Yes, sir” to the inquiry, and a sentence of six months in jail was im- posed. ‘Wim.

While absent on my calls this morning, my house (at about 11 o'clock) was visited by a white woman, with swarthy skin and deep black eyes, about forty years of age, stout of stature, dressed with a black shawl and dark dress. She wore her hair in plaits down her back, hoop earrings, a hat with large black pin, and carried large square basket, Sho rang the gong at basement door, which being answered, she asked ifthe madam of the house had china that needed mending. ‘i no, she asked the servantif eke wanted fortune told.

Sen- ators Erwin and Vedder, of New York, called Upon Gen. Harrison in behalf of Mr. Platt, and Representative Gallinger saw the President- elect New York Times, “Just as Erwin and Vedder were in the middle of their eulogy on Platt, he to jize no fac- party. “T'chall do alll disputes and make the party united and harmonious.’” NOT TO GO INTO THE qanrneT. ‘The same correspondent quotes Dr. Gallinger describing his interview with Gen. Harrison follows: “I told Gen. Harrison,” said he, I to talk with him about his cabi- e to go ahead. I began by nine-tenths of the republi- desired the appointment the cabinet, but that if he did clear to put him there, then I attention to another gentleman for the cabinet—ex-Gov. Redfield ermont.

I got the idea that Mr. Blaine will not go into the cabinet.” GOV. PROCTOR'S BOOM. This, of course, has excited a Proctor boom, and everything sent out from Indianapolis last night was colored favorably to ex-Gov. Proctor. As to the department over which he will be called on to preside, an idea may be obtained from what Dr. Gallinger suid to the Sun corre- respondent, viz: “I should say that either the War or the Navy department would be most likely to fall to Proetor. He would be « grand man for the Interior de; nt, but that is not likely to come to New England. Gen. Harrison asked me to-day if Gov. Proctor had thought he had. Perhaps that question was signiiceat” OTHER CABINET GossiP. The Philadelphia Times special from Indian- apolis says: “John Wanamaker will be « mom- ber of the new cabinet. He has not been for- pully, notified of his appointment, but he knows that a portfolio will be tendered to him it ap w time, and the President-elect knows that Wanamaker will accept. He will be either Secretary of the Interior or r General. The Washington correspondent of the same paper gives this further cabinet gossip: “There ‘© great deal of talk again in knowing circles of Gen. for Secretary of War.

Harrison which was published in the New York Herald yesterday is pronounced with- out any foundation. The Herald correspondent says he got the story from a photographer who is a favorite with Gen. Haroon and who be- lieved that the story was true. The Sun man says: “The story, it is understood, originated in New York, and a hint of it was telegraphed here last night, but it was so manife surd that no attention was paid to it.
