an organ from the Brandywine Metho
Chnroh, at Claymont, on September
10th, valued at $50 ; a wagon and har
on the same day from Robert Casey,
valued at $15 ; and a horse valued
$2.25. He pleaded not guilty, and at
request of Harry Sharpley, Eeq., his
oonnsel, the hearing of the oase was post
poned.
At 11.20 o'olook the oase of the State
George 8. Hagauy, alias Slim Jim,
oalled. He was indioted on the
oharge of breaking into the store of
William M. Kennard & Co. and stealing
yards of dress silk April 28th, 1880,
midnight. Harry Sharpley, Esq., rep
resented Hagany, and H. H. Ward, Esq.,
State. Hagany, it will be remem
bered, confessed to being present at tbe
tbe burglary was committed, bnt
in the plea that be did none of tbe
stealing.
Mr. Kennard rehearsed tbe faota of tbe
robbery, the meeting of Hagany in Phila
delphia in pnrsaanoe of a letter written
the latter, and tbe aoonsed'a oouies
of beiog implicated in the oriroe at
time.
At 12 20 tbe g.and jury oame into
court aud after reporting on several bills
discharged untit 3 o'olook.
Edward Brown, olerk for the oompany,
stated that on the morning preoeding the
robbery, the notorious Charles B ake
into the store with Hagany to look
silks.
The State rested at 12 35 and, as the
defense had no testimony, argument
begun. Mr. Ward spoke for abont 20
minutes. Feuding tbe adjournment of
oonrt until afternoon, a number of
prisoners were arranged on petty ohargeB
pleaded not gnilty.
IfrConrt reconvened at 3 o'olook in the
afternoon and Mr. Sharpley, counsel for
defense, began bis argument in the oase
the State vs. Hagany. He oited to the
oourt many authorities on oonfessions. In
address to the Jnry he said it was
oertaiuly a very remarkable oase ai d
said it oonld be easily imagined how hard
would be for a
after a lapse of fonr years. Ue also
called the attention of tbe jury to tbe
that Hagany was arrested on suspi
cion a few days after tbe robbery and
discharged bt cause nothing oould be
proved against him. He Bpoke abont
half an hour.
Chief Jnstioe Comegys, in his oharge
the I ary, said : The confession of the
prisoner, if the jnry believed he made
, was corroborated by the faot that
snob a robbery was oommitted. Therefore
the jnry believed that the robbery
bad been oommitted, and believed Mr.
Kennard's testimony that Hagany
ie?sed, it would be justified in rendering
verdict of guilty. The jary retired at
20.
The next oase oalled was tbe State
Isaao Anderson and James E. Groov, s,
oharged with tbe laroeny of an aooordeon
valued at $2 50 from the store of F. R S.
Davis. Walter Hayes, E : q , was counsel
for the State, and the prisoners, who
were very onmioal negro boys, acted
oonnsel for themselves.
When the State rested Chief Jnstioe
Comegys asked the boys if they had any
thing to say to the jnry. Rising and
bnttonlDg his ooat, Anderson bowed in
submission to the oonrt and said : "Gen
tlemen of the jnry,

f a Chesterfield, "I thank yon, gentle
men , fo' yer kind 'tention." Even the
chief jnstioe wa« foroed to smile at this
tonohing plea.
The Jury returned a verdiot of gnilty
without leaving their seats. Chief Jus
tioe Comegys sentenoed them to pay the
oat of proeeontion and $2.50 restitntioa
money, be imprisoned three months and
reoeive on next Saturday 10 lashes eaoh.
They made all sorts of grotesque faoes
while the Benteuoe was being pronounoed

Ba {d "Thank yon gentlemeu,thank yon."
At nearly 5.30 o'olook the jury in Slim
Jim's oase oame in and rendered a verdiot
f not gnilty. Upon being discharged
by Chief Jnstioe Comegys H&gany smiled
serenely.
William White, James Jones and
George Wilkins

oealed deadly weapons.
George Bntoher for assault and battery
apon Offioer Lewis at the Volksfest was
fined $5 and oosts, and sentenoed to im

At 6 o'olook oonrt adjourned until 10
o'olook Wednesday morning,
The oourt of general sessions oonvened
promptly at 10 o'olook yesterday
with Chiuf Jnstioe Comegys and Asso

into oourt and indioted for the mnrder in
the first degree of Patriok O'Brien on
the night of Jane 25th, and

Samuel Patterson. TLe prisoner look'd
very pale after his long ujodueiuent la
jail and he seeuitd a little nervous as the
indictment was being read He pleaded
not guilty to both oharges. Next Monday
morning was set for the opening oi the
trial, that day being satisfactory to both
Attorney General Gray and Mr. B«rd,
ojntsel for the prisoner.

o'clock, oharged with obtaining and
driving away the horse of Josepl. 3.
Gould without the owner's pennte >u.
He was arraigned under au aot passed at
the last Legislature for the purpose of
protecting private property. Job a K.
Bradford, Esq., acted as conusel for the
State, and Stanton has no oonnsel.
The evidenoe showed that the aocused
took the horse telling the oolored man In
charge of the stable that Mr. Goul 1 had
sent him and drove it many miles before
he was caught. After a few minntes de
liberation the Jury returned a verdiot of

Pitts met in my presenoe. Dr. Pitts
said : 'Dr. Walter, Mrs. Thomas says

aud that he agreed if she won d pay him
to aooept 50 cents aud oredit her with

proposed to draw up a oontraot that they

that she had sent for him. Dr. Walter
said, "Yon are a d— n liar," aud atrnok

WAGES THERE AND HERE.
A Comparison of Wages as Dude by
an English Newspaper.
Leeds (Rug.) Mercury, beptembe g.
Onoe again a very painstaking atl.oip'
has been made to present a comparative
table of wages and of working m**u'»
expenditure, as between the American
aud tbe Eoglish working man. This
time it is not Mr Young of the national
statistical buieau at Washington, but
Colonel Carroll D. Wright, the able head
of the bureau of labor statistics for
the state of Massachusetts, who has
duoted the inquiry. He has concerned
himself with st-me twenty four manufac
turing industries. He had no difficulty
in obtaining his 210 pay-sheets from
the Massachusetts establishments ;
bnt considerable difficulty iu getting
bis 110 in Great Britain. Of the
latter, the most liberal supplies from the
Yorkshire industries
Bradford a d Sheffield,
furnished only three, and Leeds and
Halifax seem to bo responsible for only
each. Only those who Lave at
tempted to oarry out comparisons of
wages In detail oan quite appreoiate tbe
difficulty of tbe task Colonel Wright set
himself ; bat in tbe present state of the
agitation of the question of protection
versus free trade in the United StateB,
he had impetus enough to oarry
him through it. The result is
that, as far as the figures
made to testify, the familiar differences
remain very mnoh what they were. There
longer hours of labor in the Ameri
oan state, with its intenser heat in
mer and intenser cold in winter, than,
ander oar faotory aots, we allow in Eng
land. The money wages earned are
higher In the average in every trade, and
the general upshot of the oomparison is
that the difference in favor of the Massa
chusetts working man and his family
between 60 and 80 per cent. Colonel
Wright also sets forth that whereas
wages have advanoed 28 36 in his state
since 1860, they have advanoed in
England 39.18 sinoe 1850, and
mnoh
furr.ished by
Hndderpfield
bo
9.74 sinoe 1872. This
is, however, by the way. When we
to the costs of living, the tables
turned, thongh not completely upset.
The family fuel ooats more than twioe as
mnoh mere as here ; boots and shoes are
nearly 63 per oent, olothing 45 per oent,
and rente nearly 90 per oent higher. The
one advantage the Massachusetts work
ingman has in laying in the family stores
is that "provisions" are 23 per oent
iheaper, excepting groceries, and these
16 per oent dearer to him than to his
Eoglish competitor. Thus it oomee that
■be average Massachusetts family (aooord
ng to Col. Wright's testings) expends
93 89 per oent. of its total income, and the
average British family 98.24 per oent.
Tbe one has a surplus of abont 6s. Id.
out of every hundred shillings he earns,
and the other of abont Is. 91. Suppos
