 The account referred to is that of an un- successful libel suit of Guiteau's for $50, 900. Guiteau had defrauded New York parties of collections he had made for them
 Judge Cox has not yet decided to extend the time for preparation for the trial of Guiteau- It is generally thought here that District Attorney Rollins of New York will not decline to lead the prosecution unless he should be elected Sur rogate of New York. Guiteau has overcome all nervousness and behaves as well as his fellow prisoners. The trial of Sergeant Ma son for trying to shoot Guiteau is delayed until he can be thoroughly examined as to his sanity. His friends say gunshot wound received in the war injured his brain. The result of close medical scrutiny under which Mason is placed will decide whether he shall be tried by court martial or sent to the in- sane asylum.

Dana ging Evidence Against Massachu-
 setts' Crack Regiment.
 RICHMOND, Nov. 4.-Major Fl. R. Sargent and Captain Lincoln and D. F. Dolan, con- stituting the commission sent by the Adju- tant General of Massachusetts to investigate the conduct of the Ninth Massachusetts regi- ment while en route to Yorktown, resumed their court of inquiry in the Mayors office this morning at II o'clock. About twenty witnesses were examined to-day, making fifty or sixty in all. The testimony was equally as damaging to the Massachusetts troops as that given yesterday. Several misses testi- fled that soldiers made indecent proposals to them. An ex-detective testified that his daughter was stopped and knocked down by soldiers and her hat thrown into the street A young lady accompanying her was kissed by one of the soldiers. The ex-oficer looked for the rufian who had so grossly insulted his daughter, but could not find him. A lady school teacher testified that as she was driv- ing in a buggy a group of three soldiers stopped her horse and beat the animal over the head. A negro girl testified that a sol dier stopped her on the street, hugged and kissed her. A well known merchant testified IO tAe Ddu cOuOuct Ou Mdlu SGr0oG OI q group headed by a soldier wearing the stripes of non commissioned officer. Members of the Ninth Massachusetts regiment were easily distinguished by their peculiar uni form, especially by their leather leggings The witnesses gave their evidence under oath and then sigued it after it was written down by Captain Lincoln. Captain Dolan acted in the investigation as counsel to the Ninth, to which he belongs. The other two officers belong to the staff of Brigadier Gen eral Sutton. This asternoon, all the witness es having testified, the commission visited Libby prison to investigate the damage al- leged to have been done to that property by members of the regiment. Governor Holli- day entertained the Massachusetts officers at breakfast this morning.
 It had been reported and generally believed that the Massachusetts soldiers had wrecked a street car, but the car driver testified to- day that they had only kicked their feet through the windows. It was in evidence that soldiers snatched baskets and buckets drivers, injured real estate and committed many other acts of deviltry. Strange to say the police made no arrests, but several young men in their testimony before the commis- sion stated that they had resented insults to ladies by striking the offenders. Tomorrow the commission will visit localities in the city where misdemeanors were committed, and will leave by the northern train at 5 p. m. The officers composing the commission are disposed to be very fair and are greatly shocked at the testimony taken. It is be- lieved they will recommend in their report the disbandment of the Ninth regiment The number of guilty members is supposed to be only about fifty.

For the successful prosecution of any com mercial enterprise the most valuable and im- portant qualification is the possession of an intimate acquaintance with every detail of the particular line of business engaged in derived from long practical experience, and which in almost every instance can only be acquired through an apprenticeship of years in duration accompanied by vexatious trials and delays, which test to the utmost the firm ness and stability of purpose. These re- marks are especially applicable to c. E. Longley & Go. of this city. This is one of the most reliable clothing houses in the State, carrying a stock that for thoroughness and superiority of workmanship, great variety, excellence of material and fashionable makeup, has but haps, are aware of the facilities possessed by this firm whereby they are able to success fully compete with all others in the selling of these goods. The secret of it lies in the fact that they rank among the largest manufac- turers of ready made clothing in the country, and are thus enabled to save to their custo- mers one or two middle profits which many other dealers who do not make their own goods have to put on these articles to do a paving business. The trade of this house is conducted upon sound and substantial princi ples, prominent among which is their one- price system, the strict and truthful repre- sentation of all goods and their perfect will ingness to refund the purchase money to all their customers who are not perfectly sat1s fed with their bargains. We cheerfully commend this establishment to all those of our readers who are looking for clothing that combines excellent material with thorough makeup and low prices.
