final disposition of hHc.vse nud the reasons
that led therete:
On June (1, 1870, J. W. Joliuseu was called
for trial in cmarter eossleim court, en iiuharge
of forging naturall.atleii papers. Tbe llrat
wltuenH called wasCapt. i'.llas Mc.Metleu who
waa shown a naturallatlen paper ; lie Maid
he had boeh It beiore, having recoHed It ou
the niglit bolore tlie governor'a election in
1B72, from J. W. Jehnsen at Cenlre hcuate ,
the man for whom it wan Intended did net
call for it and lie gave It te Mayer JStautler,
telling him at the tlme that be received tbe
paper from Johnaeu; the naturalization

and J0I111H011 bad a conversation with l-'rey

getting out his pipers, and two duya bnfore
tbe election Joliuaeu was asked by wltuess
whether he bad the papers, nnd Joliuaeu told
him that he bad net, but would Inne tliemlu
Hum ler tlie election. The night beiore the
(lectien Jehnsen banded l'rey'n papem te

witiiess bad n conersatleti with tbe In rni. rni.
i.iexxiiKU reporter, Jehnsen called ou him
and aaked blm why be told the rierter what
he had aald; wltness said tliat what he
bad told tbe reporter was the truth, that

blm If be would net ceme out with an article

Krey'n MKir ; It was puUiu by Jehnsen. At
tbe conclusion of MuliTenlHirg'a testimony
Win. A. Allen, el counsel for tlie defetiap.
demanded thai tlie commonwealth shntila
elect which count of the Indictment defen
dant aheuld dofend against and whelber by
common or atatute law,
A lengthy argument followed. Mr. Ilreslus
and U. (1. fcahlemau argued that there waa
unlaw lu Pennsylvania which required Ihem
te elect, wbeu all the emits of the Indict,
mentclmrgeil a mtadoiuesnor, If tbe Indict
lueut bad been drawn iinder tbe act of lWi".', a
conviction would have been barred under
the M'.atute of llmltitlnti. It wis therufore
drawn under the prolsleiis of sections Iti'J
and 170 el tlie act or 1SC0.
Mr. Itoyneldr, fur tbe defonae, argued that
It wiis inilalr te the defendant tobavehlui
tried In any way but the oue direct til by the
law.
Judge l.hingsteu decided that the com
monwealth muatcnuune Itaolfte the Htatiite
law. .Mei-ra. Ilreslus and Kttlilemnn, niter n
moiueul'a consultation, aald te the court that
t J proceed further with the case under the de
cision of the court would be UHoleas ; a con
viction under tbe law of lsfiO would be worth
leas. Tlioaiitute of limitation, If pleaded,
would cut out the oil 0110, which was com cem com
mltted mero than two yours age.
Judge Livingston said that defendant had
net pleaded the atalutn of limitation and
there was untiling le show that he Intended
te de he,
Mr. UriMliMHald there was nothing I pro pre
vent blm from doing se elther before or alter
conviction and he would no doubt avail blm blm
milfel bis right whenevcr he found itneces
snry te de se.
Mr. Ilreslus asked that n net iirei I hi en
tered and Mr. lloynebls objectcil and asked
for a verdict of net guilty.
Tlie ceunsel for common wealth would net
agree te tills nnd Judge Livingston raid It
luadebut lilt te dillorence, as tlie result would

or n verdict of net guilty taken. He sta'ed
t j tlie Jury that aa the statute of limitation

Tlie show given at McGraun's park, en Hat
llrday afternoon, by Miss Nollle llurke, the
foinale jockey, was ene of the U)st of Its kind
ever neon In Lancaster. Tbe fair cloned en
I'rlday evening, but arrangements were
inaile with Miss lUirke te remain here and
give tier entertainment, which waa a prlvate
enterpil-e, and had nothing whatever te de
with tbe lair. It was sup)es3d by many that
tlie price of admUslen would be tee high nud
that would keep soma Hiruens away. Such
was net the case, however, and both tbe
grand aud en Minds were full of loeple,
and that menus a big creud. Kvorybedy
was admitted te the grounds but they were
net allowed ou the st inds without paying.
The feuces en oltlier sides of the greuuds
which were tern down during last week,
were put upon Saturday morning, se that
tbe stands were the only placoswero a full
low of the track could be obtained. Many
iwrsens saw the racing without paying,
however, ns they steed ujieu wagons t the
Ienci, looked through holes in the beards,
nnd In ether ways enjoyed the fun ler noth
ing. The entertainment liegau at hall-past two
o'clock nud Messrs. Cauiereu, MaK.onlgle
and Harnett ncted as Judges. Thetlrst event
was a standing ratio between two men, each
of whom in Blinding iiosltieua rede two
horses. It was rather ilangoreus looking, but
the race proved clese and exciting. The
ben-es Little Hill and Cocklley wen by a short
distance, making the half mlle in 1.01'.,.
Mlrs Ilurke then came ueii the track
meuntisl en a nimble looted bay steed aud
followed by at least adezen line looking groy grey groy
beunds, which tbe lady owns. She galleped
around tlie track at a high rate of speed and
but 11 few of tbe dogs were able te keep pace.
One old fellow was ruii ever by Miss llurke's
liorse hoeu alter the start, but lie recovered
and by running irress the Held ci'iin 1 1 en
tbe lionie btretch witli the pack.
The third centest was a running rii'e In
tween two borsea, ridden In Mivs Ilurke
and Miss Mable l-'less. The borne of
the latter was given a slight advnntage at tlie
start and be remained ahead te the end, mak
ing tbe half mile In 1.01',. The Italics then
took fresh horses and bad another race, start
ing together. Miss l'leas waa again tbe w in
ner lu IS seconds. One of the best races of
the day wns between three horses without
riders. Tbe animals were brought ujien the
track without anything but halters, and word
given the word. They dashed around the
track te the qunrter jxile, with n llttle bay
nag leading. " Old Marve," the black suit suit
lien, who is qultea faverite with Miss lbirlte,
and ha-s wen many races, ferged te the front
and would net be passed. Tbe tlme for the
ball mlle was me,.
The last nud best ovent of the day was tbe
chariot race Iwtweeu Miss Ilurke nnd her
brother, each of whom dreve four horses
bitched te small chariots. Tlie drivers were
old Unman costuuies, ami after tbe folks lu
the audience taw tliol.eof Miss llurkc's
arm they did nut wender that alie was ab'e
te control horse. At the start Miss llurke's
brother's team hud the lead, but te the quar
ter the eight berses seemed te be nbteast. Ou
the home stretch " Mnrve," who was en
tbe outside of Mlsi llurke's te.mi. beg 11 11 te
de souie wendeiful work and he nud his
cempauluiis took the lead by seme feet, lletli
teams dashed under the wire at a frightful
a poed and the drivers wero plying their
whips vigorously. Miss Ilurke hadn very
slight lead, and she was loudly cheered by
tbe wholuntidleuco as she pulled ber hen-os
upeu their haunches nt tbe clese.
The show was 11 big success, aud it wan
much better Hum the racing seen during the
progres-s of the fair. MUs liurke left yester

The contlnuance of shocks Is very severe
en buildings which are greatly strained.
At Macen, (la., a dictlnet shock was lelt
Sunday night at 10:03 Although it was net

Charleston is quloteu Sunday, and tbe Sab
liath nllence Is only breken by tbe singing at
thodlirbrent rollgieus meetings, which have
been held In the ejKin air. Hardly a church
In Charleston Is considered are ler occu
pancy sod tbe ministers of thodilleront de
nominations have, for this reason, bold tbelr
services In thodilleront public parks aud in
the grounds adjoining the churches. Sad te
te say, thore is no doubt that the estimates
of the less by tbe earthquake are far blew the
mark.
The city appraiser, who baa geno ever tbe
whole city and Is familiar with the value of
property, estimates that It will cost at least
live million dollars te put Charleston In a
IKwltlen as geed ns that which It occupied
only a week age. Ilulldiugs which were
considered entirely sale are new discovered
te be lu a dangerous condition, aud persona
who thought that thev bad escaped without
Injury lind themselves conlrentod by dam
ages which are entirely beyond tbelr means
te rcqwlr. It is for this reason that there
is se much anxiety. Twe of the gov
ernment engineers are expected, and In
addition te the-te tbe secretary of tbe treasury
has been roquestcd te detail a number of
competont civil engineers from the olllce of
Hit) supervising architect of the treasury te
assist In the work of examining thoroughly
every building, se that tbe extent of the in
Jury and whether the building is Inhabltable
and can be allowed te stand may be definite
ly ascertained. The relief committee, with
tbe assistance glven and premised, will be
nole very shortly te provide adequate shelter
ler the homeless relugees, nnd can furnish
thorn also with such f-i si s they require.
Thore nre in Cbarle-tju many persons who
are sullerlug for want of bread and meat, and
who are unable le help tliomselve-t. Their
wants, however, liegln te be known and will
I) quickly met. tee government touts nave
been erected lu encampments in dillorent
parts of the city, wbere lull attention will be
given te sanitary requirements; but It is cal
culated that at least live thousand persons
will need shelter for weeks te come; and it Is
proposed te erect huts en the public grounds
ler tbe accommodation of these for whom tbe
tents will net sutllce. Ample accommoda
tion will be provided for the colored refu
gees, as well as ler the whites.

It can be seen at a glance that evon the
genereus nsslstatice glven te Charleston by
war iii-be ir ted people throughout the I'nltcd
States will be entirely inadequate te meet
t:ie emergency. If Charleston Is te be re
built, If the shattered beuses nre te be re
stored, II these that nre In a dangerous con
dition are te be made H.ite, Charleston must
have at un early day the command of at
least four million dellvrs, te be lout at a low
rate of Interest, upon tbe security of tbe pro
perty te be rebuilt or restored. Ne especlal
plan In this regard is especially ad vociteJ.
indeed, there Is a disposition te await lu this
matter the arrival of Mayer Ceurteuay, who
rerti-hetl N'mv Yerk from llurene and will be
In Charleston en Tuesday. In his courage
nud ability, lu bis comprehensiveness as well
as mastery of detail, the peeple have full
confidence. Ills presence thore will be
worth n thousand men te Charleston. There
has been no shock of earthquake eluce Sat
urday night, and this helps te makn tbe peo pee pee
peo bepelul, but they are confronted with a
terrible Injury te their homes, aud this tends
te depress thorn.
Tbe KlrsU'resbjIerlan church proreste be
bully damaged, and the Charleston college
is Irreiurably Injured. Tbe residence el the
Inte Congressman. M. 1. O'Connor will have
te be rebuilt. The old Charleston club house,
nlterwards the L nltjtl -States court house is
almost n complete wreck. Colonel llatchol llatchel
der, of the quartermaster's department, vvlu
an hed there te-day with Colonel Owens, has
been ev or the city, and in an luterv low said :
" 1 have scen enough te fay that the ruin is
widespread. The (Wsteru part of the city Is
damaged most ejgBsly, nud I think thore is
carcely a hoU(-elut will have te be pulled
down. 1 de net think that thore has been
any exaggeration ns te the extent et the
damages, nnd 1 think that the calamity Is
evon greater than has hoeu lepresentcu in
the press."

Tbe only deaths resulting lrem earthquake
11 ported Sunday were these et two colored
chtldren, the result of exposure). It Is new
hoped that demolition of St. Michael's st-jople
will net be necessary, ns the (emulation ap
pears te be Bound.
The prevailing belief is that tbe worst is
ever nud that tbe Inhabitants me reasonably
secure from further visitations of earthquake.
This bellet Is based mainly uiien tbeussur-
aiicuit of scienllsts, who way there is only the
slightest preuauuuy 01 a rccurronee et tlie
mero powerlul shocks alter the lapse of se
much tlme. With the feeling el compara
tive security Hum engendered, cltirens who
lelt the city in het basle te olude danger
