asked if he had any objection to any member of

counsel, said they had no challenge strictly to
offer. He desired Colonel Lugenbiel should be
put on his vol dire. so they might determine as 10
whether they should offer challenge
Colonel Lugenbiel was sworn, and in answer to
questions by Governor Chamberlain said he
knew, nothing of the case. He may have con.
yersed with some persons on the subject and may
have said good many things If there were any
objections he would like to be excused
Governor Chamberlain said they had no objec-
tions, except legal objection.
Q.NHave you at any time expressed an opinion
as to the guilt or innocence of the accused9 >
Al am thinking. / don't know whether have
or not. I've read he newspapers from morning
to morning, but know as little about il as apT
man in the country.
Q.-Hsve you formed any opinion? A.-No.
Nothing definite Most certainly my mind is free
from any preconceptions or bias. 1 think as If
had never heard OF the case. have no prejudice:
I've been In the Army too long to form any opin-
ion before Court meets.
Governor Chamberlain said they did not pro-
pose to make any formal challenge. Colonel
Lugenbiel says he is not prepared TO say whether
or not he has expressed an opinion, but says that
his mind is unbiased and free from prejudice.
We Will not, therefore. make any formal chal-
lenge, but leave II to the Court.

excuse any member until there had been formal
challenge

Inquiry which he decided to review. and il was
just to Mr.. Whitaker that he should have time
He did not urge the motion with view to Gre
ate an unnecessary delay.

boots all mud

She laughed merrily and long. Had the
sudden news craZed her? He thought il
had, but he was green. She left the room
for moment and then returned with a pill
low-case containing 100000 in greenbacks.
Let the Crooked River Railroad crook

An Important Suit.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20-Rufus Hatch has brought
suit in the Supreme Court against the Western
Union, Atlantic and Pacific and American Union
Telegraph Companies, to prevent the proposed
consolidation. He has obtained an injunction re-
straining the defendants Companies from enter
ing into any agreement OF consolidation and from
increasing their capital stock and other matters.
The Times says: The plaintiff in the case
Mr. Rufus Hatch, is the owner of 100 shares of the
American Union Company's stock, and the suit
Is in behalf of himself and all other stockholders
OF the American Union Company who may come
in and claim the benefit sought to be procured
by Its means-that Is, prevention of the consoli-
dation of the three telegraph Companies Mr..
Hatch says in his complaint that the American
Union Telegraph Company was started to
created when the Western Union
telegraph Company obtained the, control
of the Atlantic and Pacific Company and to bring
about healthy competitions viii ch inures to the
benefit of the commercial public. He says that
Union he expected TO make large profits from the
patronage which the public generally would give
il as an advocate of cheap telegraphipg, and that
the American Union has now, by the expenditure
of about $40 000 900 procured as complete system
of telegraph lines and equipments as that which
is possessed by the Western I'm Union Company,
the value of its lines and equipments. with its
capital of $40, ,0000 900. Mr. Hatch says the Ameri
can Union can earn as much as the Western
Union with its $40 600 capital, and that the divi
dends of the American Union would therefore
be four times as large those of the Western
Union He alleges that the combination or con
spiracy, has been entered into between the nj.
rectors of his Company and of the other Com
panies. for the purpose of their own gain and
emolument. and not for the benefit of the stock
holders of those Companies. To consolidate all
Lines and Companies and to re-erect monopoly
in telegraph business in the United States for
that purpose he says, those Directors propose to
issue an additional capital of SfO COO 600 to be
added to the existing capital of $40 600 900 of the
Western Union Telegraph Company which the
10000 600 additional capital is to be distributed
in shares without any cash being paid in return
for such shares. The additional capital of s4O.-
100000, he says, is to represent materials that
cost only S10,o00,0O0. Mr.. Hatch alleges
