"- The lawyers were talking iibout cir camstftrjciHl eviJeuce nutl several re ruiuUiilile oases, iu whieli. inuooeut per sons who bad been ooudemueJ were meutioned, says the Brooklya Citizea. "Perhaps the most singular oase ot4be kind," said a lawyer, "is one which is j-e-oorded iu the books and is pretty .old. It gave rise, as I understand, to ' the change in 'he law requiring the bodjr of a murdered person to be found before anyone oan be punished for the eritne. "Two merchant sailors went to an inn iu an English seaport. To make tbe story clearer, I'll call them Jiick and Tom. Jack pulled out a well-li lied wal let to satisfy tho landlord that he and his friend could pay their way. They invited tho landlord to drink with thorn, and Tom produced B big jaek-kulfe cu riously handled, to cut his tobacco -The inn was close on the harbor. Tho froniJ dour opened upon the qnayj snjl "at- Mie side was a covered way which led to the sleeping rooms in the rear. Near by on the quay were stone steps going down to the water for the accommodation of boats. "After the two men had had a good time they retired to oue ot the rooms in the rear, where thoy were to ocoupy a room together. They were both just so her enough to know what they were about. The next morning spots of blood were observed upon the floor of the oov ered way, from the door of the bed-ron . occupied by the sailors to the quay. The landlord wont to rouse up his guests, but found only oue of them there. It was Tom, and he was fast asleep anil requit ed a good deal of arousing. When asked where his companion was he ap peared ooufused and alarrned, and said he didn't know. "On tbe bed-clothes and floor there were largo spots of blood. The water iu the basin was bloody, aud the towel showed thnt bloody hands had been wiped upon it. The jack knife seen the previous evening in the possession of Tom was likewise stained with blood. Under Tom's bolster at the side next the wall a wallet was fouud filled with mon ey, and was identified as that exhibited by Jaok the night before. Everything so far pointed to a murder, and to Tom as the perpretrator ot it. The authori ties were notified uud Tom was arrested. He told a very remarkable story. "He said that when he and Jack were about to get into bed Jaok suggested the idea of robbers, remarking that it wouldn't take a very clever fellow to get in at the window, and, as they were likely to sleep soundly after their ca rouse, it would be easy for a thief, if be got iuto the room, to rob them. Tom had already got into bed, and was lying next the wall, so he suggested that all their money be put uuder his pillow. It would be a comparatively easy task, be said for the thief to draw tbe wallet I'rtitn Jaok's(iillnw, bnl it would lib much lore likely to arouse one or the otho of them if a thief attompted to reach over and take the m mey if it were under Tom's pillow. This suggestion wits adopted aud the wallet belonging to Jack was placed under Tom's pillow. Soon after they got into bed Jaok com plained that bis nose had begau to bleed, and arose. He poured some water into the bowl and tried to stop the bleeding. Theu Tom arose and assisted. Finally Tom said that he had heard that cold metal placed at the back of the neck would stop bleeding at once, and there upon he got his big jack-knife, opened it and placed it against Jaok's neok. It was dark, nnd they were both a little mud dled with drink, so that their movements were not particularly careful, aud thus the blood got upou the floor, the table aud the knife. Finding that tbe bleed ing would not stop Jack grew somewhat alarmed, atid this probably sobered him, for he said he would put on his clothes aud walk down to the quay, as tho exer cise and fresh air might stop tbe flow of blood. Tom said that he lay down, and the last ho remembered was Jaok leaving the room to carry out his purpose. 'This story was considered a very clever concoction, as it fairly acoonuted for everything but the absolute disap pearance o Jack. Tom's theory was that he had fallen into the water and was drowned, and his body hadbeeu car ried out by the tide. The theory of the authorities was that Tom had murdered Jack for bis money and oarried his body to tbe water and thrown it in. The fact that Tom had not attempted to escape or in any way to cover up the crime did not give tbe olliciids much ooncern. He might, they said, have felt confident that his story would be believed, or he might, after the deed, have been overoome with the liquor ho had taken nnd laid down, or he might have imagiaed that he would have opportunity enough to get clear before any alarm was raised iu the morning. Toni.taByhow, was held for the murder of Jack, aud in due time was indicted by the grand jury. On trial ev erything was made to tell strongly against the prisoner, nnd ho was con victed and hanged. "Now comes the the sequel to tho sto ry. About two years or more after sen tence after sentence had been executed upon the ruifortunate Tom, Jack ap peared upon tbe scene onco-more, alive and well. Then for tbe first time he heard of his own murder and tbe hang ingot his shipmate for the crime. He was greatly shocked, and gave an ac count of bis disappearance which in ev ery particular subst'mtiated the truth of the statements made by Tom. "In addition he seid that, interleaving the bed-room bis noo continued to bleed, aud he walked down the covered way toward the quay with his head well forward so that the blxd might not stain bis olothes. On reaching the quay he turned to the left and, just nn he came opposite the stone stefs already i scribed, a press (jang sprang npon him, gagged him, carried him to a boat and rowed bim, alou with others similarly captured, on board a marj.of war lying at anchor in the road3. It was war times and sailors were badly wanted, aud .be press gang was resorted to for supplying the Uffy, merchant seamou being al ways, of oourse, preferred. Jack had no ehnnce of oommnuieating with anyone ou shore, for the very next day tbe man-of-war sailed for n foreign station, where it remaiued cruising nearly all the time nutil its return to England." INSANE FROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING. A man named Buokhart, said to have beeu formerly a shoemaker at Weston, who has beeu on a protraoted spree ever iinoe tho election, was brought down frora-Adams Wednesday aud lodged in jail, having shown symtoms o! insanity. He was examined to-day by Dr. Vinceut, and found to be insane, as stated, but whether it is merely a temporary de rangement of the mental faoulties caus ed from drink, or out-and-out maduess, cannot bo told. Ha will be kopt in jail for soiu.i ;u:'c time to see if his reason can be restored. Ho says he has a ring ing in his ear?), that the bells are rung fejit devil, aud the deil is after him, wfi.!fii 'ery likely the truth. Yester JaViJjwaM impressed with tho usual iuoa that s urte one wanted to kill him, but to-day lie is all right on that score, anil ootnpliiiiH that his mind aud mem ory hava almost forsaken him. He is pr.ibaly crazed from drink, and will come out all right in oourse of time. E. 0. Nov. 23rd. Fun in the Camp. Home little time since oue of our absent-minded friends had an embarrassing little adventure that is sadly disturbing his peace of mind for tbe time being. It is as follows: Having an errand out of towii which would necessitate an absence over night, he made his preparations for the trip and duly informed his wifo of bis intentions. She, not wishing to re main alone in the house, invited a female friei.fi to spend the night with her, and being troubled by some of the children, slept with them, giving her own downy oo itch fo the visitor. It so happened that our friend X- fouud some oue to transact his business for him and he returned iu the night, and as was his habit, quietly retired to his ! usual resting plaoe. Hero the couple re mained In ignorauoe of their awkward predicament until discovered by the hor rified wile in the morning. It is need less to say that there was somo tall rus tling for the next few minutes. Lots in a Name, Why Not? Cul J. W. Bedington disousses the or igiu of the name "Puyallup" ns follows: "Ti.e name Puyallup is Indian, of oourse. It is a oloso oousin to pot-suh-a-le-ty-ee, which moans a gift from God. When Benjamin Fraukliu ran a print-shop here and was about to rush to press with an extra edition of his Puyallup Porous Plaster nunouuoing that America hnd disoovered Christopher Columbus, he stumbled over a pile of greenbax lying on tbo floor and wrecked his form. When tbe whole mesB hnd beett-ctemrBrl tip and fired hack into tbo oase Ben wiped his haiiisilii)ii4iH face in. preference to tho adult towel, aud yelled ' Pio-nll-upl" And somo people pretend to say that that named tbo plaoe. But it didn't. Tho real definition is "Klosbe tipso, ooo-lee pilton cuitau muck-a-muck memnloose," meaning the valley where a oayusa was fool enough to eat himself to death just beaause he hud come from a hungry oountry nnd fouud everything growing luxuriantly iu Puyallup valley." Liver-Colored Liver. Mr. Wallnla Whitney, a rustling rancher who lives up tbo river, has an appetite Unit delights iu liver. He re gards it as a delicacy more golden than oiiiolten. But he is a man of pure mind and pure thought nnd he must have his liver pure. The glorious Puyallup cli mate keeps his own pure, but what lie eats must also be pure. Ho when he kills a deer or a bee! critter he does not enjoy his favorite feast tbo same even ing. Rather does he postpone it until next morning. He has read that nil liv ers are not pure, so that which he is about to cat he soaks all night iu n bot tle ot Moore's revealed remedy, sur roauded by a row of sugar-coated pur gative pills. In the cool uf the morning that liver is tit for even a lady's lap dog to eat. Puyallup Commerce. He Got it in the Leg. Last Saturday evening Mr. McQueen, who lives near this city, was awakened fYom bis peaceful slumbers by u noise in the smoke-house.

In the spring of 1805 evenf demomina natiou ot "-"hill-plaster" currency had been oomik-rfeited and oiroulated, and every issue of greenbacks, from tho dol lar bill to the t wenty, had been repro duced by the "queer" meu, says a writer in tho Detroit Fred Press. Counterfeit ing flourished as never before or since. Anything that looked like money would go especially in the ootiutry towns. The gang which was working the 81 aud S2 plates was located nt Sandusky, but we did not get this poiuter until they had floated out a good many thousand dollars. The oase was assigned to me, and I proceeded to Bandusky iu the guise of an army contractor. I had no details whatever, but by keeping my eyes open nnd picking np a note here aud there, I satisfied myself that the in formation w as correct. Then I selected the most popular drug store in the plaoe, told the proprietor my business and ar ranged to make a capture. Men "shov ing the queer" will call at a drug store quicker thau any other place of business, because they oan purchase from suoh a variety and carry tbe purcbaso away in tho pocket. This druggist had been bit ten several times aud was anxious to help nub some oue. I felt that it was only a question of time when somo of the spurious would be offered again, and I was rifdit. On the fifth day after I had taken up my station iu the stdre, a i I'soieotable-looriimr middle aged man rushed in, holding his hand to his oheek aud exclaimed: "For Heaven's sake give mo something for the toothache! I. am almost orazy!" The clerk hurried to put up some thing, the stranger danced around and groaned and moaued, and when he re ceived tho bottle he handed out n ttu dollar bill uud said: "Quick I've got to catch the train!" Tbe cleik glanced at tbe bill nnd be gan to make change, but stopped to take a second look at it. I started forward but before I had taken five steps the man was oil like a flash. I pursued, but he dodged mo in tho crowd. I went back and looked at tbe bill, and lo! it was a counterfeit, but oue so nearly like the geuuide as to deceive almost auyone exoept a oasbier. For the next three days I did some tall hustling, nnd the result wns to drive tho gang out of San dusky without haviug the luok to arrest anybody. There were our of them, uud they had a job ollioe which turned out work for tho public. The fellows had put out $o0,000 at least in the west, hav ing several plutos of different denomina tions, uud the worst of it was they got oil with tho plates. Almost purely by accident I learned that oue of the gang had a brother living uear Rocky river, a few miles out of Cleveland, and it was possible he might go iuto hiding there for a time. As this was the onlv trail I had I determined to Hook the "ground ofer. Going up to Cleveland I got a horse and buggy for a oountry drive and started for Kooky river. I was only well clear of tbo oity when I saw a heavy thunder storm com ing np and had to look for shelter. I had to drive a aouplo of miles to find it. It was au old barn on tbo luwor end o' n farm. It was iu a tumble-down condi tion, but there was a shed under which I oould put the horse. I was ouly two minutes uhoad of a storm which raged for an hour and a half. I found a cor ner of tho bain which did not leak, and for tbe first, half hour I scaroely glauced around me. When I did come to size up the interior, about tho Uivt thing I saw was a paper paoltage resting on a beam ruuniug aoroiis tbe bain. It could not have been seen from any other position iu the barn, and I must say it was the queer sound given out by tho drops of water us they fell ou the p'lper that caused me to look up. I had tbe p ickage down after a dirty climb, anil as I opened it out fell the plates used by the counterfeiters at San dusky- every one of them. There were plates for a SI, 82, 5 and $10 bill, and for ten, twenty five and fifty oeut shin plasters, and tbe ink from tbe lust iu pri osioua had not been entirely cleaned off. Whilo I was swelling with the im portance ot my discovery tho storm pass ed over, and while engagvd iu doing up the package a buggy stopped at the gap in tho highway fence and ono of tho two men in it jumped down and came run ning iuto tho barn. He did not see uin at first, but started to climb up after tbe package ou tho beam. I knew then that ho was one of the gang, and I grabbed him. Ho w as a stout fellow, and we had a savage tiiHslo for it, but I finally got tbe irons ou bis wrists and made him my prisoner. As soon as I seized him he shouted to warn his companion, nnd be fore our struggle ended the man was a mile away. The one I caught was Sam Dixon, a "queer man" of nolo and known to us better ujiilor the alias of "Sly Sam." He was the chap who counterfeited the lirailliau c:ineiiey and got rid of $50, 0(X1 worth before tiny row was raised. He kept a close mouth and would not peach on any of the gang. Even whim be got his sentence, e. hieh was for twelve years, he calmly remarked: "Well, business will go ou at the old stand jusi the same." Ho liid nt Advertise. A nervous looking man went Into a store the other tlay and sat down for half an hour or so, when n clerk asked him if hi! l ould do anything for him. He said no; he did'nt want anything. He went away and he sat there a half an hour lunger, w hen the proprietor went to bim and askd him if he wanted to In shown anything. "No," said the nerv ous man. "I jnn want to sit around. My physician litis reeonniietided perftc qtiiet for me, and say uSoveall things I should avoid being in crowds.

Idaho World : The "Chinese Masons" met at this place last week, and march ed a number of celestials through the solemn mysteries of that ancient order at $15 per head. Tho Chinese claim that their order is, "alio same Melican man's Masons," but a little higher grade, more ancient, grand and mystical, and richer in the lore and magnificent teachings of antiquity. Judging from tho ceaseless jabbering kept up fur twenty-four hours, they must be accorded the palm for the most copious flow of language of an in itiatory nature. Tho impression made on the weary candidates cannot fail to be deep and lasting, A march for twen four hours through changing scenes of arehieological mysteries is something not to be forgotten.
