When that Kansas court acquitted

As there must be two parties so
there are two sides to the kissing

lately, an English doctor comes to
the front and contends that "in the

advantages outweigh its infinitesi
mal risk, for it provides us with
microbes useful for digestion." This
ought to give the osculatory remedy
a boom with the dyspeptic.

death-rate in 1893 was only 17.12 on
j the 1,000, while for the city at large
it was 23. - He attributes this to the
fact that the district is largely popu
lated by Jews who observe the Mo
saic rales about purifying by wash

the sick, which operates to prevent
disease germs from spreading.

McKoy. Court was opened by review
ing the evidence of the previous day, af
ter which the cross-examination of Com
mander Winslow was finished. .
The next witness called Was4.djutant
of the Battalion Thos. D. oar ra way.
His testimony was in regard to report
which Mr. Wilkes had failed to trans
mit to headquarters at the proper
time; he also said that he had to adopt
a plan of sending orders and communi
cations to the accused by registered
letter. Upon being asked why he
adopted this plan, replied that continued
letters from accused stating that orders
and blanks had not been received,
forced him to this method of
procedure; .that he held registered
receipts for orders and letters which
Mr. Wilkes claimed never to have re
ceived, which were exhibited and at
tached on record. It was found upon
cross-examination that these registered
letter receipts were signed J. Frank
Wilkes, per Allen Moore. Being- asked
by the Judge Advocate whether a rnle
of the postal authorities was that no reg
istered letter could be delivered to any
other except the one addressed to or by
bis written authority, he answered that
it was the regulation.
At 2.80 o'clock the Court took a re
cess for dinner until 8.80 o'clock.
Court met at 8.30 o'clock, Judge Ad
vocate Daniels called the attention ot the
Court to the report of the previous day's
proceedings in the Wilmington Messen
ger, which he said was incorrect in both
form and statement, and he respectfully
asked what should be done in regard to
it. The Court retired for deliberation,
and upon their re-assembling placed re
port on record. -
The next witness was Paymaster ES.
Latimer who stated that Mr. Wilkes had
not paid all of his share for the main
tenance of the monitor and "mess
dues for the cruise of 1891; that the ac
cused assured him on the Nantucket
last Summer that he would be personally
responsible for the Charlotte Divisions
obligation. He said he had not com
plied the with obligation. Upon cross-
examination witness said that Battalion
Order number 12 might be construed to
mean 50 cents per diem. But he did
not so construe it; that he had placed to
the credit of the Charlotte Division $45,
and charged it to the Wilmington Divi
sion upon their request, in settlement of
their part of the amount due the Char
lotte Division for Battalion colors, and
that the Battalion did not owe for
servant hire on the crnise; that the ser
vants were furnished by the Battalion
and not by the Division.
Upon re-direct examination, witness
stated that Battalion Order No. 12 or
dered that commanding officers of each
division should send to the paymaster
five dollars for each man attending the
cruise.
Mr. W. W. Merrell then took the
stand and testified that he was treasurer
of the Wilmington Division up to De
cember 1894, and his duties as treasurer
included the receiving and expending of
the monies paid for keeping of the mon
itor; that Mr. Wilkes bad not paid his
assessment up to the time be retired
from the treasurership. Upon cross-ex
animation he stated that when be re
tired the Wilmington Division owed
Charlotte Division $45.
Mr. Johnson Graham testified he
went on the 1891 cruise as a Reserve;
had never enlisted and was not a mem
ber of the Charlotte Division. He paid
Mr. Wilkes $5.00 for his part of the mess
dues. - .
Upon cross-examination he said
that he had no knowledge of applica
tion said to be approved by Messrs.
Allen and Moody and signed by himself,
and denied ever writing an application
or signing an enlistment
Ensign B. S. Davis, of Charlotte, was
put on the stand and said that Mr.
Wilkes was placed under arrest on the
1st of January and accused .had not at
tended any meetings of the Division
since being under arrest; that letters sent
to commanding officers of Newbern and
Wilmington Divisions by the accused,sta
ting that the company had asked him to
ask them to pay to the paymaster amount
due by them on the colors was not au
thorized by the Division; that the Di
vision had no enlistment roll; that Gra
ham so far as he knew had never been
a member of the Division
that he had not signed the
by-laws; that his name had never been
entered in their descriptive book.
Direct examinatfon then closed and
the Court adjourned to meet this morn
ing at 9 o'clock.
Tbe.case will probably close by Mon
day night. The prosecution will rest
after the examination of three other
witnesses.

INTERESTING EXHIBITION BY BALTI
MORE FIREMEN.
Some Novel Methods for Saving Life The
Extension and Pompier. Ladders A
Steal Bod Attaohed to Cord Fired from
a Pistol.
The Baltimore Sun gives the follow
ing interesting report of a firemen's ex
hibition given in-that city Wednesday:
Chief Leddeja and some of his brave
firemen were on exhibition yesterday.
Life -saving was the game at which they
played, and it looked like hazardous
sport or "bard work." as one of the men
described it. Three thousand people saw
the exhibition and many watched with
awe the daring feats of the firemen. The
rear of the old United States court house
was selected as the building supposed to
be on fire.
While the crowd waited a ladder was
nlaced acainst the nnrrh roall nf th
court house. It reached tbe top of a
second story -window. Four firemen
scaled the ladder and three disappeared
through the window. The life belt re
cently designed by Chief,- Ledden was
then brought Into service, and the three
men were lowered hastily to the ground -one
at a time. The fourth man momen
tarily stood on the windersill twentv-
two feet above the ground. Suddenly
he jumped, and cries of alarm were
beard in the crowd. But the life net
was there, held by the comrades of the
bold jumper, and he came down safely.
Then the crowd applauded.
lbe big extension ladder was next
run up to the root, eighty feet from the
ground. v A fireman climbed up there
and the ladder was then taken away.
The fireman on the roof represented a
neipiess person, wbo bad to be rescued.
A small steel rod attached to a cord was
fired from a heavily charged pistol. The
first and second shots fell short of the
roof, but tbe third placed tbe rod on top
of the building, where it was grasped by
the fireman and he was able to draw
up a heavy rope. He fastened the rope
on top of the building and then took a
long slide downward to the ground.
Methods of saving persons from tbe
windows of burning houses were
also shown by "living pictures." The
firemen carried a life-belt and line
up the long ladder until they were
near the top. Tbe lower part 'of
the ladder was a number ot feet from
tbe lower windows, and could not be
reached by any person in the windows.
The line and belt were then lowered
from above to persons (firemen in this
instance) at the lower windows. Several
men were lowered from the third story
windows in this way.
The exhibition of the Pompier service
came next. A Pompier ladder is an in
significant looking stick of tough wood
about ten feet long, with a series of rungs
or pieces ot wood stuck through it and a
cumbersome-looking F-shaped steel
book at the one end. Such a ladder
weighs 42 pounds. When the firemen
showed what can be done with them, the
ladders were viewed with a great deal of
respect.
Starting on the level of the first floor a
fireman inserted the hooked end of his
ladder in the window of tbe second floor
above. Taking another ladder he climb
ed to the second floor, and then hooked
himself up to the third floor. Another
fireman followed bim and bung a ladder
in the fourth floor window. Then lines
were made fast to the fourth floor win
dows and the lower ends were held by
firemen on the ground. Then followed
a series of life-saving feats.
Men supposed to be unconscious and
helpless were rescued from the windows,
fastened to the stout belts around the
firemen's waists, and the firemen by the
aid of tbe ropes and use of their feet, lit
erally walked and slid down the wall.
An exhibition was also given of the
method of rescue when the firemen are
on the same floor as the person to be
rescued,. but in adjoining buildings. A
star act "was the use of a single Pompier
ladder to take a fireman from the ground
to tbe fourth floor. This was done by
the fireman going up one story at a time
and then drawing tbe ladder alter bim.
Tbe men have a huge steel hook at
tached to their belts with which they can
fasten themselves to tbe ladders, if they
wish to have the free use of their hands.
Nos. 15 and 18 engine companies are the
only two equipped with the Pompier
service, and this part of the exhibition
was by members ot those companies.
Members of Nos. 4 and 6 truck compa
nies participated in the other exercises

Siefial Star Correspondence
Raleigh, N.C., April 12. 1895 "
As was telegraphed the Star last
night the local grievance committee of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers of the G. C. & N. division of the
Seaboard Air Line, came here to consult
with W. P. Read, the new Superinten
dent of Motive Power, who came from
Chicago. They desired to know whether
the. Seaboard intended to displace old
men with Western men. They made
this enquiry because on the G. C. & N.
there were more local men, employed
than there was any use for. and these
Western men came in Sunday and took
trains. The Brotherhood met Sunday
and decided to send the grievance com
mittee to Raleigh and learn the inten

COTTON MARKET.
Habbird Bros. & Co.'s Beport American
Spinners Baying on tbe Advance
The New Crop.
After an advance ef over one cent a
pound from the lowest quotations that
cotton has touched this year, it is well to
take a new survey of the factors which
bear upon the market. It is evident on
one side, that the parties who were quick
to anticipate the changed condition of
business, have not participated with en
tire amount of their holdings, though
doubtless they have liquidated a certain
proportion of the cotton which they
originally carried; but the market is
broader at the moment than it has been
any time during the year, and therefore
the factors must be considered, but not
too much weight given to the operation
of any one interest in the market, '
Again the outstanding short interest
which at one time was of very large pro
portions has been reduced to a' very
moderate size, and tnereiore tbe market
lacks tbe support which the market usu
ally derives from the covering of an ac
tive interest on the short side.
i ne teatures in iavor oi tne margei
are a diminution in the movement of tbe
crop at the interior towns which leads
many to believe that the interior holders
parted with their surplus supplies at a
time when the market has seemed to
halt under tbe liquidation of the holders
of contracts. By some it is thought that
the falling off in the movement
is -due to the lack of demand
from the continental spinners who, hav
ing bought heavily during the past Fall
and Winter, are not disposed to con
tinue their purchases as they advance in
price, but rather regard the market as
having reached a point where they are
iu8tined in falling back on their reserve
supplies and await further developments
regarding the growth oi tbe new crop.
The American spinners, however, have
been large buyers ot cotton on the ad
vance, being 'influenced by tbe pur
chases oi cotton goods by the retail
merchants who find a better trade
awaiting them than they had antici
pated. It, therefore, is the policy
of commission merchants at tbe pres
ent time to advise conservatism
to all of their constituents, waiting fur
ther developments regarding tbe new
crop. The weather throughout the
Southwest has been extremely dry, and
doubtless a beneficial rain would quickly
stimulate the. plant in Texas. In the
rest of the country planting operations
are delayed by rainy weather; but it is
thought that the advance will have the
effect of increasing the acreage' in cot
ton, as it has' of increasing the amount
of fertilizers to bs-used. Therefore mer
chants who are not carried away by the
excitement of the advance, are quite
prepared to see a reaction lrom present
prices, unless tbe weather conditions be
come again unfavorable. It is noticeable
that the Southern markets still maintain
a relative advance above New York
which prevents any large quantity of
cotton from being brought here, and It
seems likely the tenders on tbe May po
sition will be taken up as the holders of
Mav contracts have made their neces
sary arrangements to carry cotton for
ward six months if necessary.
The future course will be determined
by the accounts received from tbe grow
ing crop, as it must always oe remem
bered that at this season of the year the
crop, whether it be 6.000,000 bales or 10,-
000.000 bales, has been sold and when
spinners or speculators wish to buy they
must find some bolder willing to dis
pose of his cotton. From many quar
ters the tendency toward anticipating a
decline in the value of commodities has
been arrested, and we repeat that bad
crop advices would double the number
of buyers, while it would require perfrct
crop reports to again create a pessimis
tic feeline regarding theiuture of the
market.
