1)0 8 THE SMITH MDEDEE. Efforts Being Had la Behalf of tho Ae- CBMd-Th ratal Wound DlS. closed by Oie Autopsy. Thomas Roach and Ed ward Grinnell, the two yon njc men charged with the mnrderof Eri or Eriah 8mitb, the negro who waa stabbed in tbe back and left arm and ent several timee on tbe forehead and neck and tight arm last Saturday, were arraigned before Re corder Davey yesterday and remanded without the bene lis of bail. The aecnsed appeared to be eomewhat worried regard to tneir case, ana were engaged moat of the time they were in tbe dock of the First Recorder! Court with their friends ana companion.

Tbe two accused exerelse considera ble political influence, and aresaia to be good ballot boxes atuflers ana workers: and when they go to trial they will find hosts of friends. The manner in wbich tbe dixBcultv between tbe two accused and bmitn originated is still a mystery, 1 he story of tneir having been engaged in game of dice is denied by the accused, and none of tbe witnesses knew anything of neb. being the fact. Two witneeea, who saw tbe cutting when it commenced, stated that Roach waa the party who inflicted the wounds, on tbe sidewalk in front of tbe alleyway (ate on Delord. near Foncher street.

Assistant Coroner Jones held tbe autopsy on tbe body and gave a certificate of death from excessive external hemorrhage. Tbe fatal wound was not the one in tbe back, as was believed up to the time that tbe Coroner held tbe autopsy, but was that in the left arm. The hliH nf the dirk knife passed through and throng the left arm, severing the brachial artery. The wound in tbe back was only superficial, the blade -of the dagger or dirk knife having glanced on the shoulder blade, and tbe handle of tbe weapon broke close to tbe guard. The blade then fell down into tbe Test of the wounded man.

and was found by the wife ot Smith when she took his vest off to examine the wound and to staunch tbe blood. Tbe blade is now in tbe hands of the Coroner, and may form an important link in the chain of evidence against the accused. Thus far no witnesses have been produced who saw the wound inflicted in bomb's arm, but sevei al, among them Smith's wife, claim to have seen iloacb stab biui in tbe back. She said that he bad already received the wouod in tbe arm when Smith entered tb jard followed by Roach and Grin- Tbe inquest will be held in few days. Take.

-Judge F. A. II ou roe yesterday decided an insurance case in which the point at issue was an entirely novel one. The decision, whleh is an elaborate one, is anhar.ant.iallw Mlnari V. fe A.

Meyer Co. vs. Pelican In surance company. in this case ueieuu-ant company, November, 1885, issued its poliey of insurance for one year to W. Boatwnrhfc.

eertain nronertv owned by him, tbe loss, if any. payable by the terms of the policy to V. A. Meyer at Co. Rnitwrirbt died and the nrooerty insured was thereupon, but within the time covered by the policy, destroyed by fire.

The widow of Boatwright, at the re- Jiuestof piaintins. made out proof of oss. but failed to qualify as administratrix of her deceased husband's succession, etc Meyer claimed tbe insur ance, and defendant refused tne same Tlafendant eomnanv set no an excep tion of no cause of action on tbe grounds that tne insured nnaer tne pouey dm died before tbe loss occurred and no notice of such death having been communicated to tbe company, and no application on behalf of his successors having been made for continuance of insurance, that the contract was voia and terminated. Judge Monroe overruled the excep tion, holding that the general proposition will, properly, not be disputed, bat an inanrabin mtnt in uronenv uow not necessarily imply either the legal title to or the actual possession of the property insured. It is equaJly well settled, the conrt holds, that while a contract of insur ance i6 a personal as contraaisun- nisned from real oontract.

it noes no elong to that class of strictly personal contracts which of necessity terminate with the life of one of tbe contracting parties, as is tbe ease of a contract for tne painting or a portrait, out tuat the absence of anv ex Dressed stipula tion to the contrary; it inures to tbe benefit of and may be enforced br tbe heirs or leiral representatives of the as sured, A NEW TRIAL BAN TED. Judge Albert Voorbies yesterday banded down the following interesting decision: Charles Bauer ts. Louisville, Iew Or leans and Texas Railroad Company- Motion for a new trial. Flamtiti obtained from the jury a verdict of $15,000 for personal injuries to himself resulting from an accident on defendants passenger train. Amotion for anew trial was hied, and subsequently a sup-elemental morion a email that "de fendant has discovered since the trial evidence important to the.cao.se which tbey conld not with due diligence have obtained before." C.

art. 500. The fact nlleaed to have been discov ered is that it was before tbe accident in question plain till became afflicted with hernia or rupture, and the names of the witnesses are given. On tbe trial of tbe supplemental motion plaintiff prod need ex parte affidavits of some of these very witnesses to traverse the allegations of tbe motion. These, on defendants' objection, were re as no evidence WLatever.

The court, however, suggested that tbe witnesses be produced to testify, contradictorily with other party, as to tbe truth or falsity of the statements in tbe motion. This suggestion did not meet with plaintiff's favor, giving as his reason apprehended delays iu tbe -matter. Whereupon the court offered to hear the witnesses the next Monday at 10 in tbe morning. As this wss not accepted the argument proceeded on tbe face of the paper. Tbe nevrlv discovered evidence, as verified in the motion, is of serious im portance when taken in conjunction witb the failure of plaintiff to testify on the trial before tbe jury as to the origin of tbe rupture, and also with the failure to produce in open court tbe witnesses whose ex parte affidavits had been oil red in evidence Plaintiff's contention is that the run- tnre was caused br the accidentl and that before that occurrence he had been entirely free from any such ailing.

He was present at tne trial, ana ciosea nis evidence without testifying himself as to that state of fact, which was peculiarly wiihin bis knowledge When, said the conrt in School Board vs. Trimble, S3 A. 1073. the- party could, by his own testimony, prove the existence of a certain fact, which is particularly to his own knowledge, and he fails to do it. tbe presumption is against hint tbat the fact does not exist." The court farther observes: "It is impossible for the human mind, judicial or non judicial, not to conclude that as a witness, he failed to speak on tnis vital point because the truth, if spoken, wenld have been fatal to him and his defence" Undoubtedly parties are not compelled to testify in their case; and.

"when tbey have proved their case by other competent witnesses, the weight of such evidence is not impaired by failure to -supplement it with their own." City vs. Ganthreanx, 83 A-1180. That is tbe general rule The exception is when evidence is peculiarly within 'the knowledge of a j) arty and grave doubts are cast on his pretensions in that respect. In the case at bar plaintiff should testify as to the origin of the rupture; and defendants should be allowed to produce tbe witnesses, who are ex pec ted to testify knowledge on the same sub ject matter. verdict oi jury set aside ana a new trial ordered.

K. H. Jesse East Evening In the Tnlane Course. Last night at Tnlane Hall Prof.R. H.

Jesse continued his interesting lecture on VirgiL The Professor spoke substantially as follows: Virgil was born 70 B. C. in the little village of Mantua. His home was on tbe beautiful, classic banks of the Po. This portion of Italy was then largely settled by Gauls, so it is doubtful whether he waa of Roman ancestry.

For twenty years civil revolution had stricken Rome, bathing the land in blood, and each exceeding its predecessor in cruelty. These wars irreatlv cheapened tbe eost of land, and Virgil's father, taking advantage of it, purchased an estate, so the great epio poet was ushered into the world in comfortable circumstances. At the age of 12 he was sent to school at Cremona, and when 16 or 17 years old, took what would not be caned a collegiate course at the city of Rome. There he was taucht Roman and Gre cian literature, elocution and tbe other staple parts of a Roman boy's education. He had as an instructor in rhetoric the great tutor of Mark Anthony.

Notwithstanding his tutor's skill, he did not like his studies and did not succeed well at school. About this time he wrote his first poetry his firstefibrta being of the pre vailing passion er the day love For ten or eleven years Virgil is lost sigbt of, and does not appear in History nntil his 28th or 29th year. Prof. Jesse stated tbat he would detail the events of tbe remainder ot Virgil's life in his lecture next Monday night, rhe lecturer then in clear tones and a De preciable effort read tbat part of the uJJneid in which JBnea lands on the coast of Carthage and visits the bean tif al Cjueen Dido.
