Giascow, Dec. 24—An important mei of the board of directors of the North British Tailway Company has been held.

This action, according to the railroad jals, ix taken upon legal advice, pending a decision from the courts as to the validity of the contracts existing between the company and its employes. "This step is generally clasred as being a most arbitrary proceeding pon the part of the railroad authorities and is, so said tobe probably an illegal one. Inany case the step taken greatly increases public syini- pathy for the strikers, It ix aiso thought that this action upon the part of the railroad com- any may excite the strikers to deeds of vio~ lense. The Northeastern Railroad Company's board Sf directors las also held a mecting.

Yet the very witnesses of the prosecution had proved that the defendant did not act asa result of nfalice and intent. In order to con- vict the jury must believe that Ward shot Ad- ler: that he ehot at him intending to kill him, and that as a result of the shot Adler died, and with al! these elements they must believe also that Ward was of sound mind at the time of the shooting. There had been no evidence offered that Ward hed ever showed the least | sign of malice toward Adler. or had ever spoken | threateningly of him. Adier followed Ward [into Hurdle’s saloon and into the Marble | Saloon. Ward did not follow Adler. It |was by accident alone that Ward had a pistol about him on the night of | June 18. Ward's most intimate friend had | testified that he had never known Ward to | j carry a weapon. Had he been meditating Ad- | Her’s murder it would never have taken so (much persuasion to induce him to carry the pistol away from the Morgan House that after- noon.

He was playing a game of pool in the Marble Saloon when Adler came in. There | were no ugly words. Ward asked Neumyer and Adler to drink. There was nothing hostile.

They ran_n 100 yards while | Adler, who was running, a# he thought, for his life, was unable to cover ten feet. He would not impeach these two witnesses, but he simply wished to how to the jury what was the nature of the evidence on which they were asked to render a verdict. Ward was said to have cherished malice toward Ad- said the Senator from Ken- tucky, and yet the two were found to- gether a short time before the shooting in a saloon maiching pennies for wine and then drinking it. He wished the jury to remember that the twomen were not engaged in a friendly encounter with guns, nor were they carving exch other with knives, but were engaged in | the hostile act of drinking wine together. Mamie Carroll's testimony as to malice, bh said, had been utterly contradicted by the tésti mony of Hurdle and others of the government's own witnerses. ‘The Senator reminded the jury that it was only nec for them to bring testimony to rebut the evidence of malice on the part of the defendant, and thatthey had gone much further than this without calling upon a single one of their own words.

It was not an unlawful act to shoot the pistol at the floor of a saloon nor to Taise it and fire it without changing the aim, nor was it a lawiul act unlawfully committed. Ward was not endan- gering In At was only by an accident that Ac Ward was shooting at the cviling, not at Adler no: ckingham. ‘the bull ‘struck the fluting of the pillar and II struck two hard substances and the ball itself furmshes indisputable evidence of this fact. IN THE GOVERNMENT TESTIMONY. kburn called the attention of the jury to the discrepancies existing in the te: mony of the government's witnesses. He said that no two of them agreed even in the fund mental features of their testimony, and he compared the statements of the’ various witueswex of the shooting, and of — those who ran into the saloon at the sound of the pis- tol. ‘ihe senatorial advocate also criticised the |textimony of Dr. Mc#lair relative to the j preecripiions of morphine to the para- Fezed Adler. Dr. MeDnir testified that at the autopsy th cord was contused and ed, while hucffer, Wortman and Hamilton’ hi taéed that the cord was not hurt, but was in a perfect normal condi- ion. He would not say that Adler did not die as a result of the shooting, for if he did he knew the prosecution would answer that if the shot had never been fired Adier, in all probability, would be ali . But he would ask the jury which inflicted the more fierce and dan- gerous wound in the back of that poor man's neck, the spent ball or that wicked pair of surgeons’ pincers that locked more. dangerous nd dezdly than any Smith & Wescson’s re- ‘olver ever made and was capable of inflicting a more grievous and _ se- vere wound. That big pair of bone crushers were inverted into the man’s neck and both ends of the arch of the vertebra were severed, although the wound from that spent ball had entirely healed “up within a few weeks of the ooting. Still, Senator Blackburn said, there was no necessity for him to continue that line of argu- ment, for the jury might forget all that ho hed ‘said cud” ali” that Judge — Wilson said on every line but one and yet they vould have to uequit the defendait. They could not but find that Ward was not in hisright mind and was irresponsible for his acts and such being the cave the fact and the extent of the offense had no being. Two of the ablest experts on the subject of insanity in this broad land had come upon the stand and pronounced the defendant at the bar to have been insane and irresponsible at the time the shooting oc- pared ‘LqoPLEADS FOR A VERDICT OF NoT GUILTY. Scientists and specialists and men in all ¢lusses and stations had pronounced Ward intane ot the time of the occurrence, and such being the case Senator Llack- ‘burn wked the jury how they could possibly render any other verdict than that of not guilty. Ward had enough to drive him crazy, his business was broken and through the action of the court by no fault of his own had come to stare hopelewly into the dark chasm of bankruptcy. The prospects of the future were blotted out, and it was then that he made the fatal mistake that thousands and hundreds of thousands of others have made. He began a course as fatal and as dam- nable as any ever placed within the power of mertal man toembrace. He took to drink. He became a victim to alcoholism, thet fatal curse, and his reason weakened and tottered from its throne. & SENATOR BLACKBURN CLOSED.

One of the men told this story: “October 15 We shipped from Philadelphia on the schooner Elisha. We were told that we would be treated Well and would be left at Baltimore when our time expired. We worked hard from early morning till long after sunset. The captain, would we thought, out of not cheat us a his prayers regularly every night and morning.

It was 12 o'clock at night. ‘The island to which we rowed had only a few houses on it. At that time of night we could get no shelter, and took to the woods, where we remained until daylight.

From the New York Sun. “About the most unpleasant experience I ever had,” said a retired burglar, “was tna small village in the western part of the state. I looked around the town in the afternoon and located a house that seemed promising. and about a quarter past 2 the next morning I went in through the back door. The lower part of the house was nicely furnished, but I didn’t want any bric-a-brac and I went right up stairs | and turned into the first chamber I came to. ‘There wasa very dim light burning in the room, but it waen't light enough to see by and i turned on my glim. ‘The light just happened to strike the head of the bed and it woke up a man. He at up and raid as cool as could be: ‘Weil, what is it?’ and I told him I wanted ver dust he might have there, and I ited it soon. I had met coo! men before and I wasn't going to stand any bluff. “He got out of bed and started for a bureau in the corner of the room. I kept the light on him all the time. He was a well-built voung fellow, not more than twenty-four. He had a manly sort of a look about him and I was al- mostarhamed to rob him. When he moved up toward the bureau I moved up, too, so as not togive him a chance to open a window and holler or to get any other drop on me where I couldn't reach him. He had got about one more step to make to reach the bureauand he was moving along as quiet as a man could, when, quicker ‘n lightning, he made a jum, and butted me square off my feet before knew what he was doing.

He Starved Himself to the Last and Left a Chestful of Riches. A typical miser died two weeks ago in Baden near Vienna. His story is told in the New York Sun as follows: His name was Wm. Webcrex. He appeared in Baden nine years ago and rented the cheapest vacant house in town. It had but one story and only three rooms. ‘The firstevening after his arrival he went to the city park and picked yp the acquaintance of Theresia Lasch, a seventy-year-old widow, engaged her to keep house with him, and was never known to speak with any one in the streets of Baden afterward. For nine years he allowed none save her to enter the house. She bought him the barest necessarics of life daily, and left them on histhreshold. He ate food that a beggar would reject, slept on loose atraw and paid his one acquaintance just one cent a day for her services. He never had his house cleaned or windows washed, never changed the straw of his bed and never had w new gar- ment while in Baden, A few days before the beginning of his last illness a fire burned down a barn very near his thanty. ‘The neighbors hurried to his house tohelp him save what he might value among his apparently valucleas ions. He barred the door, however, und, brandishing an old cavalry sword behind the window. shouted that he would burn with his house before he would allow any one to rob him. When he fell ill he allowed the old woman who had brought him his food fur nine years to enter to care for him on the condition that she would not charge him extra. He had no doc- tor, no medicize. He ordered that his funeral be made to cost as little as $5, hungered and prayed and died with the lie on his lips that the 335 he had just given the old woman was all he chad in the world. In bis big chest, hidden under the floor beneath the straw oa which he died, were found £18,000 worth of cou) 1,009 shares of Belgian railway stock at $100 a share and some $40,000 in gold, silver and notes. A last will and testament, which the old man had ap forgotten, was found in the chest, It bequeathod to ‘his mother in Zierke, Germany, €5,000, and the rest to the village. Mrs. O’Shea’s Portrait. From the New York World. What is Mrs. O'Shea like? What manner of woman is this “modern Helen?” Are her charms so overpowering that even the casval observer is impressed? Inaemuch as no ade- quate portrait of Mrs. O'Shea bas been pub- lished in this country, at least since her name which brought «bout an incurable droop of one | of her eyelids, deprived her of her bexuty be- fore she had attained middle age. She always sat, when at the theater or the opera, in a pros cenium box, with the distigured side of her face turned away from the Covered with megnitic waist encircled with a girdleof gems that matched the rest of her parure, and shielding : the light with an antique fan, painted by Watteau or Boucher, and worth in itself a fortune, her dark hair decked with is, her slender roses, and her still exquisite figure set off by | b the best efforts of the Parisizn dressmakers | she wasa noted and noteworthy figure to the last ten » last.

She always engaged the most expensive box in the house whenever anew operatic enterprise was started. Her life from the hour that she quitved Holland was entirely sans reproche. But none of the fash- ionable ladies of Parisian society would reccive her or invite her to any entertainments. Once she offered to.a certain. philanthropic duchess asubscription of £10,000 for that lady's pet charity in return for an. invitation to dinner. ‘The offer was declined. Finally, she fell a vietim to the insidious ef- fects of the malady that had robbed her of her beauty. She went mad and died. The sale of her effects at her sumptuous hotel near the Arc de Triomphe was one of the most extra- ordinary scenes that I have ever witnessed. Her choice laces filled a huge Saratoga trank. Her silk stockings were brought. out by the clothes basketful. The display of her fans took up half adozen glass cases, Her tiny glover and miniature slippers were the admiration of all the beholders. Nobody was sad and nobody was specially interested. Queer Case of Arsenical Poisoning. The public have become familiar with cases of arsenical poisoning from wall paper, but it is not generally known, perhaps, says the Bos- ton Post, that the coverings of furniture, such as chairs and sofas and the hangings used for portieres, may also be the means of conveying poisonous matter of the same character into the human system. A recent case of this kind has come tomy knowledge which shows the insidious character of the poisoning and the length of time which it may take to produce its deleterious effec:s. A well-known Bostonian was attacked by sciatica, which resisted every remedy employed by physicians to combat it. ‘The persistency with which it held on led to suspicions that something in the of his city house mi Ati mepeaiie Sere As the walls of the house were painted, not there was nothing to be looked for in rection, but an examination of the qs of the furniture revealed the exist- ence of large quantities of arsenic. The upholstery of an arm chair in which the | gentleman was in the habit of sitting wasfound to be full of this poisonous substance; the same was true of the sofas and some Turcoman hangings had been made into a . ‘The arsenic cid not show itself, aw is often the case, in the form of powder on the arti- cles in which it was found, but, the physicians said, wax precipitated in the form into the room. What made the case ly no- ticeable was the fact that the contain ing the noxious substance had been in use for fourteen years before producing any apparent injurious effect. Sciatica, of course, came ns a result of the lowering of the tone of ‘the aystem and would not naturally. excite suspicion of arsenical ming, but nausea and indiges- tion, which are the specific effects of such pol soning, were the means of discovering it." In this case the throat of the patient was not affected, as is apt to be the case with the vic- tims of arsenic ion. ——_~<eo—___. ‘The Romance of = Window.
