Sr. Part, Mrex., Feb. 5—Ex-President Kin- ney of the “Soo” line proposes to build an air line from Chicago to New York, and he is now ments. He outliues his plan as follows: on straight line drawn from Chicago to iow York city passes almost directly through Cleveland, Ohio, and a straight line rom Cleveland to New York is about 234 miles shorter than the dietance between tho said cities by way of Buffalo and Albany. Now, With the enormous volume of busiucss between Chicago, the great depot of the west, and New York, the great seaboard port of America, it seems as if a saving of 234 miles in distance and of six hours in time by express trains would warrant an outlay sufficient to accomplish the construction of such a railway.” _—— RATHER HAKD TO BELIEVE.

The testimony showed that Burns went on daty at 6 o'clock; that about 9:30 o'clock he was intoxicated and half an hour later was on New York avenue near the battery armory (the rink) blowing hie whistle, and had directed some ladies who were asking ther wa: to the Fredonia to the battery; some of the young men walked across with the ladies and Burns walked up the steps ahd forbid any one passing in; that Mr. Longly went to see his number, when Burus seized him, put his pistol in bis face and snapped it; that he put the pis- tol in Mr. La Fetra’s face and Capt.

He need not say that a shot from a revolver was an assault. It was such an offense if the defendant was in his senses or whether he had been converted into a demon by drink. ‘The important ques- tion was the intent and they should condsider the testimony as to intoxication as bearing on this. If they found that he was from drink beyond the point of sufficient mental capacity toforman intent they should not find him guilty of the graver charge. The fact, however, that he was drunk did not relieve him, tor he wes rchponsitle foradrunken intent. Iftrom the whole evidence they were convinced that, although he waa under the influence of liquor, he was capable of forming the intent to use the weapon in a deadly manner, he should be found guilty.
