Gold at I p. in. logig-
The Stokes murder case la New Yoik
City bus ended with tba lares of finding the
prisoner guilty of manslaughter in the third
degree and a sentence to the peoientiary
for lour yean. The Judge, in giving the
vntonce, told the prisoner that be was lor
ry that the law compelled him to pass this
light sentence upoo his guilty bead, words
that ought long to be remembered by the
jury wbocould bring Id sucb a verdict.
There was jost two sides to the Stokes case,
He either committed the deed in self de
fence and was not guilty, or be committed
a most Ion I and fiendish murder. Any
other verdict wos a farce and well the j'lds
lelt it when he said that be was sorry the
law compelled him to give the sentence be
did. Jack Reynolds, onco alter tie bad
committed a foul murder, not so bold and
public as the Stokes utl'iir, made himself
obnoxious and notorious after he was arrest
ed by declaring to bis It leads that "Hang
log fur uiurili r was played out In New York
City." This so suraed all New York, both
j'nlg'S, lawyers aud jurors, that to give the
lie lo this stigma cast upon the city tbey
buog the poor devil within sixty days, io
order to show the ouiaide heathen what
sluuU.T he hud uttered upon (be fair lameol
the city. If be had added that if the man
was rioit or had riob relatives, iu that kind
of a o tea banging was played out in New
lork City, be would have been right. Poor
Foster, who in a drunken Dt and without a
momeul's thought, struck Avery Putnam
with a oar book trom which be died, was
tried, convicted auj bung with railroad
baste. No inllueuoo could save bim, not
even the prayers ol bis wife and children,
backed by tbe petition of the murdered
loan's wife, asking for a commutation ol bis
senteuca lo imprisoomeut tor life, was ol
any avail. II J bad no maaey to work tbe
jury and bad to bang In order that 'travel
would be more sale la New York City."
Hid poor Foster beoa oae of those kiud of
luuiderers like Stokes, who would leave bis
wife and child standing at the gate while
lie went and murdered a man, who, as Hen
ry Ward lleecber said ol Fink la a lata ser
mon, "was a benefactor and useful nun and
wilb bis sterling business qualities'1 bad
made tba bread, clolbed the body and gave
btisliiots position to tbe man tbat bad mur
doted bim, a d who Was bis peer in every
thing peitaiaing to manhood, and tbat
murder loo committed in tbe Interest of a
notorious barlot, be too would be living to
disk io ber kind ofsunsbine. Let bitn be
pardoned siow and give a state diDner with
Mansfield alone end of tbe table, be at tbe
other, with tbe jury up and down each side
and the table garnished with "thirty pieces
'ol silver, '"siune there is no doubt tbat was
the price paid lor soon a verdict.
Mr. J. W. Tozer, of Titusville, was lo
town to day. He is agent for tbe sale of
Col, Henrys new work on tbe history of
the oil regions and tbe development of pe
Iroleuin. We bad Ihe pleasure of looking
through the work and do not hesitate so
pronouncing It the best work on petroleum
yet written. Every person should secure a
cpy of this work.

tUull We Meet Acnlnr
Of the many brilliant arllclos Ibat imlna
led fiom tbe pen of the lamented Geo. D.
Prentice, we bolieve tbe following contains
one of the (inert pictures of human nature
ever written:
"The fiat of nature Is Inexorable: there is
no appeal lor relief Irom tbe Uw which
dooms us to the dust. We flourish and t ide
as tba leaves of the forest; and tbe leaves
that bloom and whitber lu a day, bave no
trailer bold tidon lire than tbo might est
monarch tbat ever shook the earth with his
loolsleps. Generations ot men will apper
and disappear as the grass and the multi
tude tbat throng tbe world lodiy will die
appear as tbe footsteps on tbe snore. Meu
seldom Ibiok cf the great event of death
uutil the shadows fall across their own path
way, biding from Ibeir eyes tbe laces U
loved ones, whose living smile was the sun
light of their exislance. Death is the an
tagonist of life and the cold thought of the
tombia tbe skeletoo of all feasts. We do
not want to go through tbe dark valley, al
though Us dork passage may lead to Para
dise; we do not want to lay down In tbe
damp grave even with tbe princes as bed?
fellows. la tbe beutiliil drama ''Ion,"
tbe hope ol iminrlalily so elegantly uttered
by tbe death-devoted Greek Buds uajp re
sponse Io every thoughtful soul. When
about lo yield bis young exialence at a sic
r. floe to (ale, bis Cleinaolba asks if tbsy
should meet again, to which ba replies:
I have asked that dreadful question ot tbe
hills that look eteraal; of the clear streams
that Qow torever; of tbe stars, among wboie
field of azure my raised spirit bas walked io
glory all were dumb; but as 1 gized upon
Iby living fice, I fell that there Is some
thing la tbe love tbat mattles through its
beauty tbat cannot wholly perish; wa shal
meet again, C'eroantbal' "
Tbe following appeal lor aid for tl
Memphis sufferers by that tenrlul scourge,

most charitable purpose. Tbe appeal cumus

hope our citizens will respond liberally:

that the failure of Messrs. Parsons Bros , ol

been obliged lo shut dowa fit time their

amount of relloed oil shipped by this com
pany la cans from Hamilton was equal to
2H00 barrels per week, and as tbey produc
ed their own crude oil, as well as refined It,
the result bus been a depression la tbe
value of their business to the extent of
$4,50 per barrel representing a sum of
$'JU00 per week, or $35,000 per month. In
consequence of Ibis uuforiuuate state of
affairs ttiey have been .compelled lo ask lor
an extension of timo from some of their
heaviest creditors. 'The crude oil depart
