7IIR LAW OF DKTKOTIVKS.
Tho trial of Charles H. Holland, who
was indicted for tho larceny of J. A. Bliu
man's meat, ended Inst Saturday morning
In n verdict of not guilty. Speeches wcro
made to the jury on Friday by Messrs
lkeler, Barkley, Freeze and Little, nnd tlio
charge of tho Court was delivered In tho
evening, and tho jury wont out about 8
o'clock, with Instruction to bring In n
scaled verdict In thu morning, If they
ngreed.
In tbo charge to the Jury Judgo Elwcll
discussed tho law as applicable to detect
ives as follow:
"What Is a dctcctlvo? It Is not ncces
sary that he should bo n person appointed
under statute law. It Is not necessary thn
ho shoula be nn official with a commission)
from the executive, 'nor thnt ho should bo
charged with tlio duty of n dctcctlvo by any
body, If of men organized for that purpose.
If there arc depredations being committed
In any neighborhood, tho society, tho per
sons there, have the right to employ ono
specially to look after their Interests, and
to detect nnd expose the crimes tlint aru
committed.
A detective Is not bound to bo himself n
prosecutor; that Is not implied by the term,
the nnmc, that ho has. He Is to detect, so
that those who aro Interested may, by tho
clues thnt ho furnishes, proceed with the
prosecution, if they choose. In n com
munlty remote lrom town nnd having no
commissioned detective, If thucitlzcns had
not thu right to employ some person in
their behalf, tho whole neighborhood
wjuld be obliged, in order to protect their
property, to turn out and bo detectives for
themselves. No one enn doubt that every
man has tho right to protect his own. It
is ouo of the first laws of nature that every
man has the right to protect his person (de
fend himself from assault) and his prop.
ty, and to guard both; nnd what a man
may do himself, ho may depute nnother
to do for him, nnd when thnt other Is de
puted he has nil tho rights that his prlncl
pal would have, lly the decisions of tho
highest tribunal of this commonwealth,
where It becomes necessary to bleak up a
combination of criminals, a dctcctlVo may
assume himself the role of a thief, ho may
dress in the gurb of a thief, ho may mix
with thieves, he may participate with them
in all their adventures (except as I will
presently mention)- nay moic, where there
are reasonable grounds to believe that per
sons are members of a gang of tlueyes he
may counsel and encourage the commis
sion of crime; if he intended to have the
perpetrators arrested nnd punished for the
purpose of ferreting out nnd exposing nnd
bringing criminals to punishment, he Is
not an accessory in the eye of tho law so
long as bo honorably carries out the pu
pose lor which ho was nppointed, although
ho may havo encouraged and counselled
others who were about to commit the crime
if, iu so doing, his Intention was that they
should bo discovered, arrested and pun
ished.
Where there are meu banded together to
commit crime, thero Is no more elTectlve
way to break up their organization than
for some person acting as a detective to be
come one of their number nnd thus to gain
their confidence and become possessed of
their secrets. But all this must be honestly
done. Hcport must be made to those who
aro Interested of all discovered facts, in or.
der Hint they may, if they seo fit, prosecute
tho offenders. But if, under color of being
a detective, ho partlcipites in the pcrpetra
tlon of a larceny or other crime, not with a
view to bring criminals to justice, but
purely to reap tho fruits of his other vil
lainy, ho Is doubly guilty, and deserves
tho severest punishment f.u- the crime he
has committed and the betiayul of his
trust."
Tho jury were out only about an hour
beforo they agreed, and it is said that they
stood 9 for acquittal and three for convic
tion on tho Ilrst ballot. After the verdict
District Attorney Ulllmcycr stnted that
Holland was Indicted for stealing the same
meat from another party, and as it would
depend upon the same evidence on which
he had already been acquitted, he moved
for a nol. pros, nnd the prisoner was (lis-
charged.

A MyHterlous Murder Near Mnliu-
lloy city.
Two young Frenchmen named Nicholas
and Frncois Mayer have for a year past oc
cupled a little cabin in tho woods two
miles east of Mahanoy City, nnd were en
gnged in making pulleys for tho collicrie;
In tho neighborhood. Six weeks ago they
fell out and In the course of the altercation
Nick drew his revolver and shot Frantz in
the back, Inflicting what was for n week or
mora regarded as a fatal wound. Tho In
Jured man went to tho Miners' hospital and
week beforo last was discharged. His
wound having healed sufficiently to per
mit him to ho marked cured. On Satur
day morning somo woikmen passing the
cabin the two brothers occupied, peeped In
through the open window uml were horrl
lied on seeing the mutilated remains of
Nick Mayer stretched on his bed near tho
window. A gash across his torehead told
plainly of tho mauner of his death.
Without making an examination the men
who made tlio discovery reported tlio facts
to tho Deputy Coroner. Ho found that
Nick Mnyer had uoi only been shot through
the heart but his throat cut nnd his face
shockingly mutilated. By the side of tho
bed, In which tho stlfily-frozcn remains re.
posed, lay n dog with his throat cut. Tho
facts of the shooting In December recurred
to tho Ccioner, and he had Franz Mayer
taken into custody. Tho prisoner cannot
speak a word of English. Through an In.
tcrprcter he said he had not seen his
brother since ho left for tlio hospital. Ho
had not, ho said, been to tho cabin.
Franz has friends who do not belieyo In
his guilt. Their dicory Is that tho murder
was committed byntinmp who know of
Nick's hoarded gold. Tho ferocity exhib
ited by tho threo dogs kept In tbo place
when strangers camo about nud tho fact
that Nick was killed while asleep In bed
rebut this theory. Tho District Attorney
and Coroner recommended tho inquest to
return n verdict of death nt tho hands of
an unknown person. Tho Coroner gives It
as his opinion that tho killing was done at
least a month ugo, though one witness at
the Inquest saw a man upproachlng the
houso on Tuesday of last week and another
heard some one Inside chopping on bun-
day, tho 24th ultimo. All tho evldonco Is
so contradictory thnt tho authorities have
decided to await further developments nnd
incnnwhlto keep Franz Meyer under stir
vclllance.

For many years our people have been
more or less excited over railroad enter
prises. And struige to say that their fear
Is, that wo cither get too many railroads or
none. There have been several charters
granted and surveys made throngh nnd
across our valley, and there are more in
contemplation. Tao Iltinlock creek and
Muncy, tho Up Creek branch of the North
and West branch nnd the Millville Hail-
roads, arc imaginary realities nnd have a
mystical existence, but as yet the snorting
iron horses and long trains of cars thun
dering i.p, down and across the valley, do
not disturb the sleep of nny one. We
have become almost sceptical, nnd our
faith needs strengthening by something
more than wlndwork. No company will
build n railroad merely to please and gratify
tho people, but if it can be shown thnt
companies will bo materially beneflttcr'
they will build railroads regardless of the
people, whether It pleases or benefits them
or not. However, we hope they will build
the more railroads the better.
We do not like to say anything about it,
but if we do not some one clso will. Tho
