and a single engine, which came to
gether with a terrible crash, pinning
tho engineer and fireman of tho
freight train between the boiler head
and tank, and there holding them
until the escaping steam scalded them
to death.
The fireman of the light engine,
Richard Norris, in attempting to
jump from tho locomotive, was
caught by tho legs beneath tho ten
der, and his limbs frightfully
mangled. Tho engineer of the light
engine, James Lowry, had succeeded
in jumping clear of the wreck, and

The judge charged the jury as to
their duties under the law, dwelling
particularly upon the crime of gamb
ling, as the most common of the
weightier offences, and one of the
most serious evils to the community.
Tho judge trusted that, as good citi
zens, having in view the enforcement
of the law and the protection of the
good name of our good county, the
jury would especially look after
offences of this kind.
.Referring to the verdict of the Cor
oner's jury in the Quackenbush case,
the judge remarked, in substance,
that no officer of the law should be
actuated by any motive except a de
tire to ditcharg bis duty. The
motto of our state, Equality before
the law, assumes the purity of our
courts of justice, the disposition upon
the part of each and all to do their
duty the only object any should
have. The judge remarked that whilo
crime was increasing, he hoped that
with the co-operation of officers of
the law, this judicial district would
be kept from the charge of lawless
ness. Tnere are 46 civil and 19 criminal
cases on the docket.
