Decision Vnrtlr Ilnsed on n Work of.Flctlon. . TornKA , Kan. , Juno 10. November 22 , ISSfl , J. H. Yarborotigb , a clerk In the Santa Fe ma'tcrlal yards nt Etnporla , shot nnd killed L. D. Collier , son of the famous preacher , the Hev. Hobcrt Laird Collier , nnd agent of the railroad company nt that city. Tno fatal shooting wns the result of n quar rel between the two men , Yarborough being under the inlltiencq ot liquor at the time. Up to the day of the murder both had been on the most friendly terms , but the kill ing was willful nnd premeditated. The cause came up for trial at the May , 1887 , term of the Lyon county district court and resulted in n verdict of murder in the first degree. A motion for a new trial was overruled nnd the case was appealed to the supreme court , the main grounds for n reversal of the Judg ment df the lower court being the lack of premeditation on the part of the murderer by reason of his Intoxicated condition. To-day the suprenlo court nnirmcd the judgment of the lower court. In summing up the evidence and cases cited Chief Justice Horton said : "Lord Uncon said that'If a mad man commit a felony ho shall not lose his Hfo for it. because his Infirmity came by act of God ; but if n drunken man commits ii felony , he shall not be excused , because iho imperfection came by his own default.1 For this reason , the courtu almost unanimously hold that if a man kills another while In n lit of voluntary Intoxication , It is murder and ho must suffer the penalty. Of course , drunkenness may bo'eonsidorcd by the Jury in determining whether thc.ro was that de liberation , premeditation nnd intent to Kill necessary to constitutetho - of fense charged. In this case , it is not claimed that the drinking had created delirium trcmcns , or that the defendant wns Insensible. Wo think ho was not so drunk as to have lost his reason or un derstanding. Counsel assert that when the defendant was only n little drunk ho became wild and ungovernable. It seems that while ho had Indulged In drinking Intoxicating liquor , even to n slight degree he became n second Mr. Hyde. Upor. this account it is urged that he should bo dealt with more leniently. If the story of Dr. Jekyll waa true rather than a fanciful one , Dr. Jckyll , according to the theory of counsel , ought not to have been responsible for the murder oi Sir Donvers Curew , although ho voluntarily drank the potion that so powerfully uon- trolled and shook the very fortress of his identity. "Dr. Jckyll , like Yarborough , when not under the influence of the fatal potion , which ho accustomed himself to drink , was of a very kind disposition nnd of unusual ami ability. After drinking the drug , or tincture , ho doffed at once the body of the noted pro fessor and assumed , like a thick cloak , that of Mr. Hyde. His pleasures then turned to ward the monstrous , and his.wholebeing , as Mr. Hyde , was mhcrputly malign , brutish and wicked. At such .times the kindness and virtues of Dr. Jekyll slumbered , but the evil of Mr. Hyde- - was alert and swiff to seize the occasion. Should it be said thai Dr. Jekyll was not responsible and that Mr , Hyde alter all , and Mr. Hyde alone , was the guilty one ? Yarborough is not to be relieved from responsibility because he did not get drunk with the thought of a difficulty with Collier. Dr. Jckyll did not drink the drug , cnanging his character to one wholly evil , for the purpose of injuring the child he cruelly trampled upon , , nor to take the life of Sir Danvers ; but in that case , as in Uiis , a wicked and depressed disposition was de veloped , or produced by the voluntary act of the party. If the indulgence in a slight de gree awoke in the defendant the spirit ol hell , ho should have refrained from touching the intoxicating' draught ; ho should have chosen the better part and not been found wanting in strength ta'kcep it. "In tlio trntrcdy ofj Othello , Montano , tc quiet Casslo , who had taken n few cups , but who was unfortunate in the Infirmity , said : 'Come , come , you're ' drunk. ' Cassio , in return , at once thrust his sword througli Montano. Soon after , in his grief and re morse over the act , he said : 'O. tliou invis iblc spirit of wine , if ihou hast no name to be known by , let us call theo devil. ' Whni Cassio uttered Yarborough may well repeat , Ho voluntarily stripped himself of till those balancing instincts by which even the worst of us continues to walk with souio degree oi steadiness among temptations , and in his case to bo tempted , however slightly , was tc fall. Upon the whole record , th6 judgment of the district court will be affirmed. " mviDUD UP. A Deputy SherilTSnlil to ! ! ! Implicated In a Robbery. LAncno , Tex. , Juno 10.

[ Special to Tun Br.n.J Tliero hasn't been for a long time n public muddle quito equal to that in which the legislative commission that is investigat ing the state university at Iowa City finds itself. When the cry for an investigation was urged nt the close of the last legislature It was thought that If one was ordered It would bo the most effectual way to stop the continual complaints and criticisms of that institution. So in the hurry of the closing hours a Joint resolution ordering such an In vestigation was passed and iixuig the rate ol compensation for those engaged in It. But In the hurry no ono thought to present a sep arate bill appropriating money for the pur pose. So the other day , after the commis sioners had been in session about two weeks , they wanted a little money , and presented their orders to the state auditor asking foi the necessary warrants. The auditor being posted , replied that ho could not Issue them , for * no money could bt taken from the treasury by simple rcsolu tion of both houses. A bill of the rcgulni form was absolutely necessary for that pur poso. Ho referred to the attorney general who sustained his position. The constUu tion of the state expressly stipulates that m money shall be paid from the treasury unless granted by law. A law , as defined by UK constitution , is something uioro than a lotnl resolution. The latter docs not require t majority of all the members to pass. It docs not go to the governor for his signature 01 approval , and manifestly would not bo sufll clcnt authority to Justify the payment 01 money from the treasury. One recourse was left to the commissioners to appeal to tin executive council and see if that body had no' ' discretionary power to help them out. llu the executive council doesn't enjoy having sc much responsibility thrust upon if , and so II says no , and tells the commissioners that Ii is unable to keep them. So the only thinf they can do is to wait two years till the ncxl legislature meets. The expenses of the in vcstigation so far have amounted to about ? 2,000 , and the witnesses and clerks , etc. want to know who is going to pay the billa It looks very blue for the poor commissioner ! who have paid their own cxnenses so far ami received nothing for their time nnd services nnd must now stop with the work but hull done , and porhnpj pay the bills already in currcd , nnd carry the amount for the state for the next two years. Hut this experience will doubtless have a salutary effect here after in teaching legislators to bo moro care ful. ful.Vn Vn interesting point wni recently raised ai the state house , as to when was preciseli " 12 o'clock noon.

About forty live minutes after 12 o'clock noon of thai day the representative of n DCS Molnes pub Mailing house appeared anil put in a bii which when opened proved to be 2 cents lower than any other. The council nskci the.attorney general if the arrival at 12:4.r : was too late , and that worthy fnntionary sale no , that in the sight of the law it was K o'clock until it was 1. So the late arrival secured the contract. Now , however , ono ol the other bidders objects , and through coun sel argues that it is not 12 o'clock till it is 1 , and that 12 o'clock noon meant sixty mln- ntcs before- , and that a bid that was received forty-live minutes after 12 was clearly burred out of the contest. So the council have hat ] quite a study over the matter and referred it again to their fountain of legal knowledge , the attorney general , for solution. The trouble between the students nt the agricultural college at Ames has about quieted down. There has been a very bitter feeling between students who are members of the secret societies and those who arc not. The latter claim that the former enjoy spe cial privileges from the faculty which thc.\ do not , and that they combine to secure eel lego honors and don't give the other fellows a fair show. The investigation showed that in the late- riot there the anti-secret fellows let loose a gas of the most deadly character , intending in this way to smoke the societj fellows out of their room. If a mutch hail happened to have been lit in connection wit ! it an explosion wouhl probably have followed that wonld have wrecked the building. IJul the Justice of the peace before whom the supposed culprits wcro examined concluded that ho couldn't nnd sufllcient evidence tc hold them , so they wcro released Probably they will not bo so reckless another time. The Iowa editors arc getting ready for an excursion to the Yellowstone park. Tliej propose to start from Council Hluffs nboui July 10 , and go to Denver and Salt Lake thence to the park and return by the North crn Pacific to St. Paul. This year stringenl precautions will bo taken to limit the attendance anco strictly to newspaper people. Two yean ago there was a press excursion from lowt to Washington Territory , and about half the the people who went along hud no moro to dc with the press than the man In the moon. Ii was unpleasant all around , nnd the real mem bcrs on Iowa papers felt very much annoyci by the imposition. So this year the bars wil bo up high , and nobody cun go through wht can't show a straight connection with legitl mate and reputable papers. The scramble of the Iowa delegates at St Louis to get porno of the honorary ofllcei shows that an Iowa democrat is still anxiou : to take anything in the way of an ofllco lyiti ) around loose. It recalls tliu time , scvora years ago , when 'an Iowa democrat Inu mighty little chance of getting anything , am so grabbed at the lirst otler.

The Oceanic stenmcr Mariposa arrived to-day from Australia bringing the first detnils of the. rescue , of the crew of the wrecked bark Henry James after they had spent six weeks on Palmyra island , n coral reef in the Pacific. While off Samoa Captain Hnywnrd , of the Mariposn , was notified by Lieutenant Crcssnp , of the United States steamer Mo hican , that a boat had reached Samoa with the first officer nnd four men from the wrecked bark. Crptain Hayward hearing that they wcrd in n destitute condition de cided to go to the Island. The Marlpoaa reached Palmyra on May 20 , and took off the castaways. Purser Smith gave the following graphic account of the rescue : "I put up n notice that wo would require clothing , nnd in less than half nn hour I had received thirty suits of clothes. One gen tlemen also donated six pairs of white kid gloves. Palmyra is a typical coral Island. There was the roar of breakers over the coral reef , the lagoon , nnd , in the distance , the palm trees. We stood within three miles of the island and could easily dis tinguish the men and women on stioro. The llrst to see us was a small boy who had been out hunting , and ho rushed to the camp and gave tiio alarm. Then they nil hur ried out , and wo put off in n boat and made for the island. The captain of tlio shipwrecked crew also put off with some men to meet us nnd pilot our boat through the reef. They were a miserable set , those thirty-live human beings. Some had only canvas about their waists. Their coats were worn through , their backs were blistered , their hair unkempt. They had been in this condition for nearly six weeks , and had begun to fcnr that the bout sent to Samoa for assistance had been lost , nrd that they wcro doomed to slow starvation , as their diet hud begun to muko them sick. " Captain Lattitnoro told the following story of the wreck : "Tho Henry James , loaded with coal from Newcastle , New South Wales , to San Fran cisco , ran on a reef , tliirty-llvo miles north west of Palmyra , at 10 p. m. , April 10. Two boats were gotten ready , and the ladies and children lowered first over the stern as the sea was breaking along the main deck. All hands and some few provisions being safely In the boat , they stood by the ship until day light. The captain had a narrow escape from drowning through falling into the sea. Find ing it impossible to get on board , owing to the heavy serf making n clean brush fore 'and aft , sail was made for and Palmyra Island reached at 5 p. m. , having had heavy showers and shipping many seas. They found on the island remains of six persons , but no inhabitants. Also a quan tity of firewood which had been cut and piled probably by some shipwrecked crows. The ladies and children wcro made as comfort able as possible , a lire lighted nnd some mutton and biscuits formed the Jirst meal. No clothing or other effects wcro saved ex cept a nuir of blankets nnd they were thor oughly drenched. On Saturday , April 21 , a boat in charge of the first mate , the boat swain and thrco sailois who volunteered , left the island at noon for Samoa , a distance of 1,800 miles , which was completed in nine teen days , the men being picked up in a terri ble condition from cxposuic to the tropical sun. On April 24 the remaining boat was launched and headed for the wreck. The Blii ) ) was sinking down , nnd as the sea wag breaking over her.fore and aft , It was im possible to board her. The attempt was abandoned for good. During the six weeks on the island , with the exception of diarrhea , all hands enjoyed fairly good health. Water was found on a small island about two miles away from camp. Cocoantits were found in abundance , and these , with eels , birds and crabs and peppergrass formed their diet. " Palmyra island is a small , low island , about two thousand four hundred miles north from Sanwan Island , and is nearlyon the course between Samoa and Honolulu. North of the island tlio charts show a dan gerous reef , known as ICingman icef. A Peculiar Jmfoor Contract Case. COI.UMIIIV , S. C. JunolO. UobcrtHratcher has been tried in court In Abbeville for en ticing away laborers under contract , which is a serious1 offense in this state. The case is curious.

Although in poor circumstances , the girls wcro young and pretty , and Miss Hamilton - ilton soon captivated the heart of a young farmer named Hratcher. He asked her to marry him and she accepted , and the cere mony was performed and he took her to her homo. Miss Hamilton , however , was still under another kind of contract witli Ashey , and it was unlawful for IJratchcr to take her off the place. The defendant was arraigned and tried. The case was hotly contested. The Jury , however , could not bo made to bo hard on the young couple , and they received a verdict of not guilty for a wedding present. Her Ilcnil Torn to 1'ieccn.
