The way in which the Mennonites
choose their ministers is by lot, regard
less of the qualifications of the persons
chosen. Certain brethren are nominal
ed, and The name of each, written on a
slip of paper, is put into separate copy
of the New Testament. The books are
then shuffied and placed on table, when
each nominee walks up and takes one.
At a recent selection of ministers in Vir-
ginia, two were wanted, but to secure
these sixteen were placed in nomina-
ton. The brethren on whom the lot
fell were designated by the fact that they
happened to pick up the books contain
ing their own names. The call to the
ministry is thus considered divine.

THE VANDERBILT ESTATE.

EFFORTS TO BRING TO TRIAL THE MILLION
DOLLAR SUIT CONFIRMATION OF JUDGE
DAVIS ORDER AS TO A STRUCK JURY.
Anything connected with the litigation over the
estate of the late Commodore Vanderbilt seems to
possess peculiarly fascinating interest That there
is still diminution in this absorbing interest was
shown in the large crowd filing Part of
Supreme Court. Circuit, at half-past three
p. II. yesterday. on the hearing before
Judge Landon of the argument on the
motion to vacate the order OF Judge Davis directing
stay of proceedings until struck jury could be OBJ
tained in the suit brought by Cornelius j. Vanderbilt
against William H. Vanderbilt to 81 0O0U 100.

contesting the Commodore's will. Both sides were
represented by the usual array of counsethe plain
tiff by Messrs. Scott Lord and Ethan Allen and
the defendant by Messrs Henry L. Clinton. William
A. Beach and Joseph H. Choate. As might be antici-
pated by the character of the motion the argument
was mainly dry technical legal points, ana ref
erence TO the merits of the

Mr. Clinton said he desired to interpose preliminary
objections He claimed that the order to show

ton OF the provisions of the statute aud code requr
ing eight days notice Of the motion aud also Of rule
81 OF the Supreme Court. On these grounds he in
sisted that the order to show should be dis
missed
Mr.. Lord, in reply, urged that the case was in the
Court and under its control when Judge Davis
granted his stay. The regularly the cal
endar. and no other Judge, he claimed should have
nterfered in the matter. He characterized the APP
plcation to Judge Davis as sort of sneaking
process for the purpose of delay, to which he must
insist upon entering his firm protest. He claimed
that when the called and it was answered
ready upon behalf of the plaintiff. according to
the theory of the law the defendant should been
there also. He diated at considerable length upon
the practice in this matter.
Mr.. Choate followed with quite lengthy speech,
claiming that the order granted by Judge Davis was
entirely legal and proper. and that there no JUS
titable reason for vacating it.. He also gave his
sion of the practice governing this clause of pro-
cedure.
Mr.. Beach defended the action of Judge Davis and
insisted that the present order should be at dis
missed.
After some further argument Judge Landon dis
missed the proceedings. Following the announce

objection to struck jury and that he would make
