In the Second Degree.
In the trial of Ferguson yesterday morning
tlic witness Henry was recalled by counsel
for the prosecution nnd cross-examined with
special reference to' the conversation between
him nnd prisoner In the Douglas street sa
loon. Witness admitted that the prisoner
mentioned Holmes' ' namotohlm , and that ho
was going back to the Dodge street saloon to
settle accounts with him.
No further testimony was taken , The
counsel for the stnto addressing the Jury sold
"that there was exceedingly little difference
between the testimony of both stnto and de
fense. Holmes was doing a lawful act in pre
venting Ferguson from playing pool , as the
rule in the saloon was that no colored man
was allowed to handle n cue except by special
permission. Holmes affirmed that .Ferguson
called him a - , nnd then the fight
ensued , Holmes hitting him in the face nnd
knocking him down. What palliation or
mitigating circumstances could bo brought
up in favor of the lad I The blows , Intoxica
tion and sickness in early llfo together with
youth nnd ignorance deemed to bo ' 'what the
Defendant's counsel were aiming to establish.
Yet so far as was known the prisoner was as
intelligent a youth ns there was In Douglas
county. Holmes never had any trouble with
him until the evening of the fatal occurrence.
Admitting that they did have a quarrel
which resulted in a fitfht , yet Ferguson had
time to run to the bath house , enter the dark
room and procure Ncligh's rlflo nnd ammuni
tion. Waa not this indicative of premedita
tion and malice } The youth was convulsed
with rnRO and rcvcngo. It was not the out
come of any constitutional convulsions , the
result of previous sickness. His whole con
duct indicated that ho know what ho was
doing and that ho ran out of the saloon in the
firm belief of having taken the llfo of Joseph
Holmes. His tender years ( a flftcen-ycar-
old ) would probably bo taken Into account ;
yet a lad of that ago knows what it is to min
der. In fact , it was cither deliberate murderer
or the prisoner was Insane.
The counsel for the defense made n very
lengthy review of both sides of the testimony
and explained to the Jury the various de
grees of homicide , warning them when they
retired to privacy to give the verdict , not to
bo influenced either with sympathy for tiic
defendant or passion against him. Mr. Mil-
hdncy madu an interesting and nblo argu
ment , closing shortly before noon , at which
time an adjournment was taken until 2U0 !
o'clock.
The afternoon session was opened by Mr.
Duffy's address to tlio Jury , Ho endeavored
to prove that there was no deliberation or
premeditation on the part of the prisoner , as
he did not provide for a place of safety nftor
committing the 'crime. If picmcditatcd
wouldn't ho have taken the gun , concealed
himself ami waited tilt Holmes should Icavo
the saloon ! It was the act of nn angered and
paasiounto youth , it was simply done for nn
adequate provocation , and the law called this
Manslaughter. There was n class of men
who killed their fellowmenwhcn their reason
was clouded , and for such the law provides
that they shall not undergo the severe penul-
' ty of death. Was the killing the result of a
sudden quarrel , and would the deed over hnvo
happened had it not been for the brutal as
sault made on him by Holmes ( The lad's
. llwt thought was to avenge tins wrong.
'Where provocation was adequate and recent ,
nnd where the man acts in onjror , then the
presumption of malice is overcome and none
could say that Ferguson had any ill-feeling
towards Holmes until they mot that evening.
Mr. DuiTy then referred to the youth of the
criminal and his want of education , for what
could bo expected from ono born under
slavery ! Hut ho did not _ BCD why the prison-
"cr's lifo should be forfeited because ho shot
the wrong man ,
County Attorney Slmoral again
faced tlio 3uryj cutting down
the argument for the defense.
Whcro was there ever a case of a boy doing
such a dastardly deed ! His ignorance and
intoxication was no excuse for such an act.
Was there not premeditation and delibera
tion when tlio prisoner spoke to Witness
Henry in the Douglas street saloon to the ef
fect that ho woujil do for Holmes ? Tlio boy
was no ordinary case ho was an oxatnplo of
human depravity absolutely appalling. In
fact ho showed a great deal of method in his
madness. Mr. Simoral again laid stress on
the pointn of difTercnco between manslaugh
ter and murder in the lirsi and second de
grees.
The jury then withdrew for a few minutes ,
nnd on returning tlio verdict was announced ,
but they had to retire again , owing to a mis
take as to tlio degree of the oflcnso. Two
minutes elapsed and tlio jury again Hied in
with a verdict finding the prisoner guilty of
murder in the second degree ,

"Your conduct , Mrs. Cotroll , has been
very unbecoming to say the least , and I bhall
have to line you $5 and costs , "
"Oh , that's all right , your honor , hero's
do stuff , " and Lottlo whipped out her ple
thoric portuionnalo and counted out $7.f.U in
silver. Then she turned , and as she disap
peared into the lobby sha cried : "Hut you
lln botcher sweet llfo , Judge , I'll ' go right
down thiic and beat the head offen that dirty
, if it costs every nlcklo I'm worth. "

The Prince of Theologians.
The usual monthly literary exercises at the
Academy of the Sacred Heart , Park Place ,
wcro held on Tuesday evening. The pro
gramme was ono of the most interesting yet
rendered oy the people of the academy. As
the result of skillful and well directed study
the prinuo of theologians was presented
under so many aspects us to give the whole
the charm of variety. The audience mani
festly enjoyed the parallel drawn between St.
Thomas nnd Plato , between the same doctor
nnd Aristotle , as well ns her portraiture in
f'oMagistcr Stuclentium. " But the an
alysis ot tlio immortal "Summa Theologiean"
was the crown nnd glory of the literary
seance. The sentiments of the Lenten-tidy
were interpreted not only In the , solemn sub
jects chosen from discussion , but in the
music which was selected from the Liturgy
with admirable taste nnd appropriateness.
The "Landa Sion , " whose technical
difllcultics make it almost a scaled book ,
was rendered by u chorus of rich voices
in such a manner as to bo n perfect revela
tion of its beauties. This highly instructive
and enjoyable entertainment followed the
semi-annual examinations in arithmetic.
These oral examinations .took place in the
presence of Higlit Kev. Bishop O'Connor
and the faculty of the academy , undwus very
creditable to the pupils.
The spring vacation begins on Saturday ,
March 81 , and on Monday , April 9. the

How to Color ISaslor K
The methods of coloring Easter eggs are
numerous. To dye eggs black put logwood
chips into the water in which they are to bo
boiled. These chips may be bought nt u
druggist's for a mere trllle. It is easy to tell
when tlio water is black enough by taking up
a little in a spoon. Eggs can bo dyed with
these chips from a lovely port-wlno color to
Jet black. To obtain brown eggs , put strong
coffee grounds or settlings into tlio water.
For yellow use plenty of onion peelings. Put
the peeliugs into the water while cold and
boil the eggs among them. Cochineal , a per
fectly harmless dye , will make the eggs of
any shade from a deep crimson to n lovely
rose pink , according to the quantity used. A
pretty effect is sometimes given to the eggs
by daubing them hero and there with grease
before putting them in boiling water. Wher
ever the grcaso is the dye will not take ,
therefore tlio eggs come out spotted. Some
times the name of the numo of the person
who is to receive the egg is written on with
the grcaso in the same manner. In dyeing
tlio eggs great care should bo taken to use
only one spoon , and that an old one. The
oldest saucepan in the house , too. will an
swer the purpose. AH dyes are difficult re
move from these things.
