He was caught by Sergeant Sanders, who has been the terror of the liquor dealers, The case was very clear, four or five men ‘and several boys having been found in tho store, glasses half filled with ale were on tho counter, and the bar- keeper wos in front, among the others, The latter was arrested, and next morning lie went back to his duriness, The defendant testified on onth as follow “Twas up stairs, asleop; my barkeeper keeps his clothes below, and went for them; I never sell Aiquor on Sunday, and he disobeyed my orders, for which J discharged him next day.” Q. Where is be now? A, Idon't know, At tho time he swore to this monstrous He his barkeeper was behind i counter, selling liquor, He has not dischargea him, nor does the barkeeper keep his clothes in the bar: room. He bas been known to keep open house on Sunday: for at least the last nine months, He was once cautioned by wcitizen, when there was ;reat noise inside, that a policeman was outelle, and he said he didn't care, he was all right, This led to the belief that the policeman had been squared, as that individual must have heard the voices inside, but walked on unconsciously, and “whistied ax he went, for want of thought.” Well, his license was not re- yoked; but there was one man (Mr, Manierre) who did not believe bim, and voted to revoke, ‘This was not all, Although the man was deeply affected the night before bis trial, aiter it was over he boast ed that Le had influence by which his license could not be touched, no matter what he might do, — THE HOBOKEN MYSTERY, Hoboken Verdict The Hoboken mystery remains unsolved. The physicians and Coroners appear to be as far from the cause of the death of the man and woman found floating in the river as they were at first. The wo: man bas not yet been identitiod, and Dr. Elder, after careful examination, found no marks of violence on her person, and concludes that she was “ acci dentally drowned.” But the fact that no such marks ‘appear only serves to strengthen the conviction that she was foully dealt with, Perhaps hor resistance to the licentious passions of the man who kidnapped her (or the belief is that she is the young woman who was abducted from a railroad car), led bim to take her life by drowning, At all events the mystery in her caso only doepons as the days roll by, ‘There is a little letting up, however, tn the case of the man, Hehas been identifid ay James McCar. thy, bot the Coroaers and pl. cicians are unable to determine how he came to lis death, Thi therefore, agreed that bis cesth was “uccidenta’ although knife and pistel wounds were found in the rogion of his beart, He had been 1 per in the Bt, George's Hotel, Second street, He loken, until within two weeks, when that ¢ wed hands, and the cew comer discharged MuCarthy, since Which time he las been missing. — Frightful Accldent on the Toled and Warsaw Katlrond, At 12:80 o'clock this morning, just east of Fureka, the eastern-bound freight train, while crossing & bridge three hnndred fect long, was thrown from the track by a broken rail, The engine was pitched from the bridge, turning over in its descent, Three cars were detached and very badly damaged. ‘The engineer, W.
