UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

The WhisIxcy Ring NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
To Re Made 10 Set Them Aside.
It is understood that on the opening OF the Cir
cult Court a motion will be made to quash the in
Gictments including those in relation to the whis-
key ring, found by the Grand Jury during their
recent session. The ground OF the motion will be
that the present system Of selecting grand and
petit Jurors Is tllegal that they have hitherto been
discriminatory taken from the New York Direc-
tory" selections OF names having been made out OF
that work with view to n respectable class
OF Jurors. While this proceeding appears to have
been highly proper and governed by the best inten-
tons, yet lawyers claim that the system Is ille-
gal and that the names OF the jurors should have
been taken without any effort at selection.

lie tenacity with which Alderman McMul-
Zen, Of Philadelphia, clings to life recalls the
case CT The notorious Bill Pool, of New York,
vEO Was shOt in drunken brawl ten or fifteen
years ago by brother ruffian. Pool had been
q successful prize-fghter, and was a fellow of
remarkable physical endurance, as proved not
oriy by his ability to receive any amount of
punishment in the Prize-ring and in the bar
room encounters, but especially by the fact that
he lived for eleven days with a bullet in his
heart, the post norton showing that the ball
was InbedCed between the right and left VEN
triele Of that delicate organ. This circumstance
excited the astODi-bment of medical men at the
time. a. similar case had never before been
heard of. McMuilen was shot through the left
breast, just above the heart. The ball has not
yet been located or removed, but is believed TO
have perforated the lung. Notwithstanding
this il il thought he will recover owing to hi. re-
marksble vitality and wonderful powers of en-
