YestcrJav afternoon a stranger traa
going ilotm Tliinl street, moving in xig
aag lues as if lie hail a contract from
Engineer Scow4 for taking the diraen
aionsof tli allbalk. It m not the
length of the reet, but Uie width that
bothered him eo ranch. In one hand he
carried ft hat-bot and umbrella, and in
the other a grip-sock, while tinder each
arm were staffa! several domestic-looking
bandies. He wa evidently making
for the boat.
On reaching tho wharf ho stepped
aboard and proceeded immediately to
the cabin. Tumbling into a cliair, with
his baggage scattered aronnd his feet, he
was oblivious to all that was passing,
and remained so till he was arotued by
the captain, who shook him pcraistentlr
and yelled the word "ticket.- On'r
stranger indicated that he had no ticket.
"Fare, then," demanded the captain.
"How mnzhr
He was told, and he handed his loose
change to the captain, who took the
proj)er amount. He was soon snoring
again.
Half an hocr tia&aed and the captain
again made his appearance
"rarer
"How mnzhr
Tho amount as ttatcd before; the
stranger ionied up and again fell asleep.
This thing was gone over four times,
ana when the captain for the niUi time
aronstd the sleecr, he Iiad sobered up a
little, and was evidently as mad as a
hornet. Looking daggers at the inde
fatigable collector, he muttered:
'Look a ere cap n, wbr don t you col-
ect all your fare at once? uhat you
come 'storbing a man this way for? How
ranch to Cincinnati?
"Cincinnatir Telled the captain.
This here ain't no Cincinnati steamer.
This is the ferrvboat."

he was standing on the wharf with his
baggage in his hand and a cart-load of
evee mud on his boots.

frblUakrr Condemned
Wist Potxr, May 2S. In the Whltta
ker caxs Lieutenant McClerland testified
to finding in company with Recorder
Soars a pair of pan& in an overcoat
Imt in Whittaker'ii room. Whittaker
having previously denied having any cil
isea's clothing in his room. He afterwards
confessed that the pants were his. but
only when his name was found on the
binding. A coat and vest were also found
in his room. He could not account for
the Dresenco of the pantaloons in hb
mora, but said that he bad not seen them
since last Christmas, and some one else
must have placed mem mere, iiio re
corder aald there were other things tend-
Ine to show that Iiittakcr was unreha
bte. He had a love a Hair whldi made
hi morbid. Curious extracts from his
diary were read showing that he believed
the people about him despised him.
After some more palaver testimony doted,
Keeorder Sears criticised tho Public as
mietHfofsaed and prejudiced, and took the
KTOHBd that the evidence from the first

resent tho blow, allhoush hn must have
knows he would bo hold blamelem. He.
however, reported the case, and McDoa-
aid was trieiand diswiW He cicUml
that Whittaker was la a daiiKroati posi -
aitioa just before April 5th la te raeia
examination. He ridiculed the idea that
the cadet con Id have any motive fr
mutilating him, or having outsiders to do
so. w nlttaker had perjured himself to
hide his crimes, and his, own testimony
was alone more than enough to convict
him. Whittaker's motives were fear of
not pasdug and being jilted by a irir!. He
took this method of exdting sympathy in
the girl and becoming a martyr to the
world. He charged that Whittaker dis
guised his hand in writing sh(H for ex
perts, and drcunutantial evidence was so
strong that be should he tried for conduct
unbecoming a cadet and fur perjury.
Lieutenant Knight, counsel for Whitta
ker, then said that the recorder had given
his interpretations, but that vras no
reason why the court should accept them.
He denied that Whittaker was morbid.
He was cheerful and confident that there
was nothing to discredit his story. He
ridiculed the idea that Whittaker wanted
sympathy. His course in life bad been
creditable from boyhood. The paper on
which was a note of warning, was stolen
from Whittaker's room for fastening sas
pidon on him. In a sarcastic and amusing
way Knight directed the contradictory
evidence of writing experts. It was mon
strous to say that a young man jut enter
ing on manhood should be thought guilty
ofsuchacrime with nothing to gain br
it. The speech was able, legal" and logical.
The court adjourned slse die.

denied the motion for a new trial, and.
naked the customary question, "Have

wocMiika to say a few words to his col

deliberately, reviewing tho testimony,
allowing the inconsistencies o witaeaooa
statements, and then, carried away wha
the idea of the wrong done him, he burst
forth in a strain of eloquence seldom
heard. When ho sat down the judge
said: "Sam, I thought you guilty; I do
not bclicvo so now, and will set aside Use
judgment overruling your atorioa foe a
