"It is a p«rt-ef my duty to outline |^ome of the evidence," said Attorney 'Lopkhart, opening the .case for the ^commonwealth.

We will prove that before the murder he exhibited a dissecting knife well -suited for the awful use to which.it was put."

John Hewling, the boy who discovered the headless body lying on the crass near the Alexandria pike, was the J$nt~witness called. He said that there t*^as Only about a pint of blood-on the Aground. This the defense will claim would tend to show that Pearl Bryan -was not murdered at this place, but was brought there after the crime was committed.

Coroner Tingley was .the next witness. lie testified that he reached Fort ,Thpjnos at 10 o'clock on the Saturday of "the discovery. The body was lying obliquely on a terrace. Two •feet above the body was a large clot of

Mood. There was another, as large as .JklUkHwL would cover, near the neck of -the corpse. Blood was soaked into the clothing. There were spo ts-of blood on the underside of privet bushes several feet from the corpse.

The coroner said that the -woman's rubbeiirsw'ere soiled. The effect sof this would be to show that Pearl Bryan walked to the scene of her murder, and was alive afFort Thomas. The middle and third fingers of her left hand were deeply tut. There was a wound as if a stab in the trunk near where the head had been severed. These wounds were rjdlrebent. "Was, the head cutoff atthejslace nearFort Thomas "I think it was." "Was it cut off before or .after death?" "The arteries were severed while the heart was still beating. The. .blood spots were on leaves two or three feet above the corpse. They were on the under side of the leaves. The blood could not have spurted in this way if the .victim, was dead when the head was severed. There was a large quantity of blood about the place, the wet ground probably absorbing much. "The cuts on the hand were made before death and were perfectly fresh," the coroner said. "In cuts made on a dead body the tissues do not well up.

The cufc were made by a sharp knife, such as a dissecting knife. The cuts indicated that the liaud had been held to grasp a knife blade which had been drawn through it. The condition of the skin was somewhat drawn up around the wound. There was a bloody water seeping from the neck. "What is the difference between a wound like that made after death and -one before?" asked Attorney Lockhart. "K the head is cutoff after death., the skin boiiig dead, it will not afterward show a drawn appearance."

The doctor then went on to detail the result of the postmorten examination. He said that ,tlie. body was found drained of blood. There was only one clot found. It .was about as big as the tip of a man's forefinger, in the heart. "If death had taken place before decapitation there would have been more or loss coagulation, the doctor said. The debtor was present at .both autopsies. "Doctor, I will ask ^ou, "said Attorney" Crawford, "if at either autopsy you found ahy evidence of ^jeriminal operation?" "NOt with instruments/'was the an«lrec.

IN -ST'CTK EE^NTY.

One Lady Perished In the Storm and, Aaother Xajnred hy Faillui Hall. AIAIANCB, O., April 23.--'Mrs. Edward Miller, wife of a-well Jknowi fanner residing, north of this city,: saw the big storm, approaching Mondiay night and started to the pasture field after cattle. She failed to return and after the storm members.of the family started in search. Her dead body was found lying in the field half covered with water. It is supposed: she became so badly frightened that it brought on an attack of heart disease.

Miss Lortena'Smith, student in Mount Union college, here, was struck on the head with hailstones in the storm Monday night and rendered unconscious for three hours.' She is now ill from concussion of the brain.

Coate's rake shop in this city was unroofed, and numberless trees, telegraph pofets, etc., were blown down. The hail that accompanied the storm was terrific.

TOLEDO, April 22.—Great destruction was done by Monday evening's rain and hailstorm. The rainfall, from weather bureau reports, averaged one inch. The fruit growers along the bay shore and the lake islands will suft'er a

and in some cases whole fruit farms were uprooted. No disasters are reported on the lakes, although the wind reached a high velocity.

Spared a Horror.

TIFFIN, O., April 22.—This city felt part of the force of the cyclone, but the cloud lifted like the trunk of a mastodon and this place was spared a horror. It struck the Sandusky river, lashing the water into foam and beyond leveled several barns and destroyed some orchards. At Republic, Attica and Chicago Junction the storm was felt, but there was not much damage done.

From what port did he saiil?.'Why Was this the place of his destination?' I question the shepherds. I question the camel drivers. I question'the angels. I have found out. He was an exile. But the world had plenty of exiles. Abraham, an exile from Haran John, an exile from Ephesus Kosciusko, an exile from Poland Mazzini, an exile from Rome Emmet, an exile from"Ireland Victor Hugo, an exile from France Kossuth, an exile from Hungary. But this one of whom I speak today had such resounding farewell and came into such chilling reception—for not even a hostler went out with his lantern to light him in—that he is more to be celebrated than any other expatriated exile of earth or heaven.

From Throneroom to

Sheep

Pen.

First, I remark that Christ was an imperial exile. He' got down off a throne. He took off a tiara. He closed a palace gate behind him. His family were princes and princesses. Vashti was turned out of the throneroom by Ahasueyus. David was dethroned by Absalom's infamy. The five kings were hurled into a cavern by Joshua's, courage. Soine bf the? Henjrys bf England and some of the1 Louis bf1 France were jofctled on their thrones by'discontented subjects. But Christ was never more honored or ttiore popular or more loved than the' day he left heaven. Exiles have suffered severely, but Christ turned MrtiBftlf out from throneroom ititosheep pen, and down from the top to the bottom. He was not pushed off. He was not manacled for foreign transportation. He was not put out because they. no more wanted ..him in. celestial domain, tjut by choice, departing Jand descending into an exile five times as long as. that of Napoleon at St. Helena, and a thousand times worse—the one ekile suffering for that he had destroyed1 batitins, the •other exile suffering because he bame to save a world.' An imperial exila King eternal. 'Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne."

But I go farther and tell you hei was an exile on a barren island. This world is one of the smallest islands of light in the ocean of immensity. Other stellar kingdoms are many thousand times larger than this. Christ came to this small Patmos of a world. When exiles are sent out, they are generally sent to regions that are sandy or cold or hot— .some Dry Tortugas of disagreeableness. Christ came as an exile, to a world scorched with heat and bitten with cold, to deserts' simoom swept, to a howling wilderness. It was the back dooryard seemingly of the universe. Yea, Christ came to the poorest part of

rthis

barren island of a world—Asia Minor, with its intense summers, unfit for the residence of. a foreigner," and in the rainy season unfit for the residence of a native. Christ came not to such a land as America or England or France or Germany, but to a land one-third of the year drowned, another third of the

T'.'-.o Earth Against Him.

I go fcu-Lhcr and tell you that he was an exile in hostile country. Turkey was never much against Russia, France was ii' vor so much against Germany, as this cr.rth was against Christ. It took him in through the door of a stable. It thrust him out at the point of a spear. The Roman government against him with every weapon of its arm. and every decision of its courts and every beak of its war eagles. For years after his arrival the only question was how best to put him out. Herod hated him, the high priests hated him, the Pharisees hated him, Judas Iscariot hated him. Gestas, the dying thief, hated him. The whole earth seemingly turned into a detective to watch his steps. And yet he faced this ferocity.' "Notice that most of Christ's 'wounds were- in front Some scourging on the shoulders, but most of Christ's wounds in front. He was not on retreat when expired. Face to face frith the world's ferooity. Face to face tirith the world's sin. Face to face with th6 world's woe, His eye on the raging countenances of his foaming antagonists when ho expired. When the cavalry officer rowelecl his steed so that he might

ob^ neaiwr jro and tee: the tortured visage af the suffering exile, Christ saw it When the spear was" thrust at his side, and when the hammer waa lifted for his feet, and when the reed was raised- to strike deeper down the spikes of thorn,

When his hands were fastened to the •crossi they were wide qpen still with benediction. Mind you. his head was sot fastened. He eould look to the right and he txmld look to theleft and he could look up and he could look down. He saw when the spikes had been driven home, and. the hard, round,-iron heads were in the palms of his hands. He saw them as plainly as you- ever saw anything in the palms of your hands. No ether, no chloroform, nomerCiful anaesthetic to dull or stupefy, but, wide awake, he saw tho obscuration of the heavens,", the unbalancing, of the rocks, the countenances quivering with rage and the cachinnation diabolic. Oh, it as well a* the Mtren island *of a' world

I go, ffather and tell jap, ,that this eillej was far from horqe.1 !lt"is 9S, 000, 000 iniles from here to the sun^ and all ast^otwxiers "a^ee in sajrtiig thiafr our 'siSltt^i^Aeni is only one of the smaller tWhdelsttft the great machinery of the lUniverEie^ turning around some on^ great center,, the .center so far, distant it -is beyond all imagination and copulation, and if, as some think, thai great center in distance'is1'heaven,1'Ohrfst came far from home' when he- came here. Have ypu ever thou^it of .the homesiekness of Christ? Some of you know what homesickness is when you have been only A few w^eks absent from the domestic circle. Christ was 88 yeart away from home. Some of yon -feel homesickness when you are a hundred or a thousand miles away from the domestic circle. Christ was more, million miles away from home than you could count if all your life you did nothing but count. You know what it is to be homesick even amid pleasant surroundings, but Christ slept in huts, and he was athirst, and he.was a-hungered, and he was on the way from being born in another man's barn to being buried in another man's grave.

I have read how the Swiss, when they are far away from their native country, at the sound of their, national air get so homesick that they fall into melancholy, and sometimes they die under the homesickness. But, oh, the homesickness of Christ! Poverty homesick for celestial riches. Persecution homesick for hosanna. Weariness homesick for rest. Homesick for angelic and archangelic companionship. Homesick to get out of the night, and the storm, and the world's execration. Homesickness will make a week seem as long as a month, and it seems to me that the three decades of Christ's residence on earth must have seemed to him almost interminable. You have often tried to measure the other pangs of Christ, but you have never tried to measure the magnitude and ponderosity of a Saviour's homesickness.

I..take a, step farther and tell youth at Christ was in an exile which he knew would end in assassination. Holman Hunt, the master painter, has' a picture in which he represents Jesus Christ in the Nazarene carpenter shop. Around him are the saws, the hammers, the axes, the drilla of carpentry. The picture represents Christ. as rising from the,. Carpenter's working bench and Wearily stretching out his arms as one will after being in contracted or uncomfortable posture, and the' light of that picture-is so arranged that the arms of Christ, wearily stretched forth, together with his body, throw on the wall the shadow of the cross. Oh! my friends, that shadow was on ^everything in Christ's lifetime. Shadow of across on the Bethlehem swaddling clothes. Shadow of across on the road over which the three fugitives fled into Egypt. Shadow of a cross on Lake Galilee as Christ walked its mosaic floor of opal and emerald and crystal. Shadow of across on the road to Emmaus. Shadow of a cross on the brook Kedron, and on the temple, and on the side of Olivet. Shadow of a cross on sunrise and sunset. Constantino, marching with his army, saw just once a cross in the sky, but Christ saw the cross all the time.

The End Was Death.

On a rough journey we cheer ourselves with the fact that it will end in warm hospitality, but Christ knew that his rough path would end at a defoliaged tree without one leaf and with only two branches, bearing fruit of such bitterness as no human lips had ever tasted. Oh, what art exile—starting in an infancy without any cradle and ending in assassination I Thirst without any water. Day without any sunlight. The doom of a desperado for more than angelic excellence. For what that expatriation and that exile? Worldly good sometimes comes from worldly evil. The accidental glance of a sharp blade from a razor grinder's wheel put out the eye of Gambetta and excited sympathies which gained him an education and started liiin on a career that made his name more majestic among Frenchmen than any other name in the last 20 years.

Hawthorne, turned out of the office of collector at Salem, went home in despair. His wife touched him on the shoulder and ?%id, "Now is the time to write your book," and his famous "Scarlet Letter" wa.s the brilliant consequence. Worldly good sometimes comes from worldly evil. Then be not unbelieving when I tell you that from the greatest crime of all eternity and of the whole universe, the murder of the Son of God, there sMll come results which shall eclipse all the grandeurs of eternity past and eternity to come. Christian exile' from heaven opening the way for the deportation toward heaven and toi heaven of all those who Will accept the proffer. Atonement, a ship large enough to take all the passengers that will come aboard it.

An island not bounded as geographers tell us, but, as every philanthropist knows, bounded on the north and the south and the east and the west by woe which no human politics can alleviate and only Almighty God can assuage. Land of Goldsmith's rhythm, and Sheridan's wit, and O'Connell's eloquence, and Edmund Burke's statesmanship, and O'Brien's sacrifice. Another Patmos with its apocalypse of blood. Yet you cannot think of it today without having your eyes blinded with emotion, for there your ancestors sleep in graves, some of which they entered for lack of bread. For this royal exile of my sermon I bespeak the love and the service of all Irish exiles. Yes, some of you are from Germany, the land of Luther, and some of you are from Italy, the land of Garibaldi, and some of you are from France, the land of John Calvin, one of the three mighties of the glorious reformation. Some of you are descendants of the Puritans, and they were exiles, and some of you are descendants of the Huguenots, and they were exiles, and some of you are descendants of the Holland refugees, and they were exiles. "Going' Home."

Some of you were born on the banks of the Yazoo or the Savannah, and you are now living in this latitude. Some of you on the banks of the Kennebec, or at the foot of the.Green Mountains, and you are here now. Some of you on..the prairies of the west, or the tablelands, and you are here now. Oh, how many of us far. away from home. All of us exiles. This is not our home. Heaven is our home. Oh, I am so glad when the royal exile went back he left the gate ajar, or left it -wide open. "Going home I" That is the dying exclamation of the majority of: Christians. I have seen many Christians die. •. I think nine out of ten of them. in the lastMomelit say, Going home.". Going home out ibf banishment and sin and sorrow and sadness. Going home to joiii in the hilarities bf our parents arid our dear children who have already departed. Going home to Clrrist /Going home to God. -Going home to stay. Where are your loved ones that died in Christ? You pity them Ah, they pught to pity youl You are an exile far from home. They are home! Oh, what a time it will be for you when the gatekeeper of heaven shall say: "Take off that rough sandal, the journey's ended Put down that saber, the battle's won. Put off that iron coat of mail and put on the robe of conqueror." At that gate of triumph I leave you today, only reading three tender cantos translated from the Italian. If you ever heard anything sweeter, I never did, although I cannot adopt all its theology: 'Twas whispered one morning In heaven

How the little child angel May, In the shade of the great white portal. Sat sorrowing night and day How she said to the stately warden.

He of the key and bar: "Oh, angel, sweet angel, I pray you Bet the beautiful gates ajar. Only a little, I pray you,

Sot the beautiful gates ajar.

"I can hear my mother weeping. She is lonely she cannot see A glimmer of light in the darkness

When the gates shut after me. Oh. turn me the key, sweet angel The splendor will shine so far." But the warden answered, "I dare not

Set the beautiful gatos ajar," Spoke low and answered, "I dare not Set the beautiful gates ajar."

Then up rose Mary, the blessed, Sweet Mary, the mother of Christ. Her hand on the hand of the angel

She laid, and her touch sufficed. Turned was the key in the portal, Fell ringing the golden bar, And, lo, in tho little child's fingers

Stood the beautiful gates ajar, In the little child's angel fingers Stood the beautiful gates ajtvr.

Elevated Back Yards.

Some of the second floor dwellers of Tremont enjoy advantages of which the occupants of the first floors are deprived

In many parts of that distriot tho dwelling houses are built adjoining. Some of these houses are erected after the cheapest plahs possible, and in many instances the Owners refuse to bear tho expenses of having hills behind them cut down.

By this fact tho occupants of the llrst floor are deprived of yard advantages, while those on tha second and often on the third and fourth floors have them.

It Is not'an ".uncommon thing: there for an ocoufMuat of the flsst floor to*sk the occupant .of the second or third, 'May I hang my clothes in your back rard?"'—New York Herald
