Trial Of Lieutenant FlipDer.

GALVESTON, November 10.-A News
special from Fort Davis says: In the
Flipper case yesterday the entire ses-
sion was occup ed in receiving evi-
dence for the prosecution. The
principal paper offered was a state
ment from the Treasury Department
showing that Lieutenant Ripper
was still accountable for S3,79177 as
acting conmissary, and the attention
of the court was called to section
5434 Of the Revised Statutes. Caps
tain Barber objected on the
ground that the paper was only
proper evidence in the cases of en-
bezzlement by contractors under sec
tions 5403 and 5464, but was not
proper evidence when the charge
was actual embezzlement under the
18th article Of war. The question
was argued at length and the objec-
ton overruled. The defense then
offered formally to accept, which was
objected to by the judge advocate
and overruled by the court.

News From the National Capital

SN~SSASS~A.
WASHINGTON, November 1O.-In
the Criminal Court this morning
Judge Cox rendered decision in the
Star Route cases, discussing princi-
palIy the question as to the III am Z
of the crime charged. The conclu-
sion arrived at was that the crime
was infamous, anl that the accused
should have been proceeded against
by an Indictment. He, therefore,
sustained motion for eZpelling the
information from the flies Of the
court. and ordered the discharge Of
defendants.
WASHINGTON, November 9.-In the
Criminal Court to-day, Col. Enoch Tatten,
of the counsel for the defendants, close6
his argument on the question OF quashir Z
information in the Star Route cases. He
opened the address by criticising the meth
DDS pursued by the prosecution in fling III
formation, saying that the defendants OBJ
jected not SO much to the fling, in itself,
but the manner i'll which the Information
was presented. On June Oath last, the de-
PENDANTS had come into the court and asked
an investigation of charges, which the prose
cution succeeded in preventing. Now the
prosecution seek to justify fling informa-
ton by fear of statute of limitation. It
brought before the grand jury, he said that
if the trial was to be had under the old
English law the defendants should have
protection of existing English laws. He
cited precedents to show that of
numerous cases prosecuted under
the old laws in the district none had been
sustained by the Supreme Court. He dis
cussed the meaning of Infamous crimes, "
and cited authors to show that the acts al
legged in the Information did not fall in this
| category. He claimed that the cases would
never be brought to trial before jury, and
said that the Postmaster General was the
party really responsible, under the law
| Judge Cox announced, on adjourning the
| court till tomorrow, that he would be able

from 46 counties say the weather
during October was remarkably fine,
and there is no damage from frost.
Three-fourths to seven-eighths OF
the crop has been gathered and pick
ing will be over by the first of De-
cember. The yield of seed cot on
is estimated at about 400 pounds per
acre, which is 10 to Is per cent. less
than last year. The decrease is at
t,ibl'able to the drouth of the
early summer, then to rust and lastly
to worms. The yield of lint cotton
from the seed is nearly 1 per cent.
less than last year, while the bolls,

weather for gathering, is generally

An English Brewer Created Lord
From the German and American Brewers
Journal

From the German and American Brewers
journal.
The trade will learn with pleasure
that one of their number, Sir Dudley
Coutts Majoribanks, the London
brewer, has just been created Lord.
He is not the first brewer, however,
to reach the peerage, since Sir Ar
thur Guinness was last year made
Lord Ardilawn. Very many Epglish
brewers, notably the Bases, have
been knighted, created baronets, etc,
but Sir Dudley is the first to rise to
the House of Lords over the vats.
The father of this new peer was a
Scotch lad, who came to London
many years ago with letter of intero-
duction to Banker Coutts, setting
forth the merits of the bearer, and
urging that he be appointed to q
place in one Of the East Indian
branches Of the bank. The old
millionaire took fancy to the boy,
and asked him one day, ''What wonld
you say to entering my counting
room instead of being exiled
away off in India?" The boys
eyes glisened with pleasure
as he he heard these words He
staid in London, rose to be senior
partner of the bank, and left for
tune of over 100000. For his son,
Dudley Coutts-named, we need
hardly say, for the benefactor of his
bought third interest in
Meuxs brewery in London, an in
terest which has been worth for
many years quite 100000 per an
nun.
The new peers eldest son married
the Duke of Marlborough's daugh-
ter, while his eldest daughter is wife
Of the blue -blooded John Campbell
Gordon, Earl of Aberdeen.
