Charles G. Confer, a journalist of ex
perience and ability, has been chosen as
business manager of tho St. Louis Daily
Nees. "We knew him well, Horatio,''
thirty-odd years ago, when che was fel,
low of infinite mirth.'' and made things
hum about the old Fountain Inn. He
learned his trade in this city and was re-

the INTEILIGENCER office. When quite a
young man he aemoved to Missouri, but
continued to- contribute to the INTEL.

Tobacco Matters fur the Week.

Tobacco Matters fur the Week.
The tobacco trade has been quiet during
the past week. 1t is not expected that any
heavy transactions will be made in the crop
Of 1SS0until after the holidays. Manufac-
turers arc keeping their stock rs low rs
possible to save trouble in taking ac-
count Of stock 1t the beginning Of the
year. There are few buyers about, and it
is thought very little will be done with
the new crop before next month. The
"bears' continue to cry white vein"
and profess to believe that Penn
sylvania as tobacco state is
about played out but they ut the
same time are keeping their eyes wide
open for bargains. The 'bulls " laugh at

THE ordinance making q partially

aer says that it has reason to believe that
the advocates of the present system will
endeavor to postpone the adoption of the
proposed plan until too late to inaugurate
it under the present councils. 1t advises
the friends of the measure to vote down
all amendments to it at present, and re-
serve for future action any changes
which may he shown by experience to
be desirable. Such changes can be
readily made at any time, and all the
members who are satisfied that the new
system is better than the old one had
better inaugurate it as soon as possible,
that its virtues and defects may be the
sooner tested. No good is likely to come
from further hesitation to inaugurate

An Englis! COiliery Explosion Supposed 10
Have x illed Several Hundred Men.
An explosion occurred about noon yes
terday in a colliery at Bolton, Eng. The
supposition is that 1870 persons have been
killed, rs 200 had descended into the pit.
Ten injured persons have so far been re-
covered. The explosion occurred in the
Orrel pit, belonging to the Abram mining
company. The pit was considered one Of
the safest in Lancashire, rs neither gun
powder was used for blasting nor furnaces
for ventilation. The Arley pit, which is
adjacent, was affected by the explosion in
the Orrel pit. OF over 60 employees in tho
Arley pit only 81 were brought to the sur
face alive. Itis feared the remainder per-
ished. 1t is believed the explosion in the
pits was caused by the fall of 4 portion of
the roof.

IT is just rs much to the credit Of
President Arthar's administration that
he should have nominated jurist of fine
ability and fair reputation, like Judge
Gray, to the supreme bench, rs it is to
his discredit that he should have hesi'
tated for moment Over-nOt to say ia.
vorably considered-the appointment OF
Boutwell,. Since Grants insult to the
profession i'm the proffer of his Attorney
General Williams for the chief justice
ship, no such indignity to the bench has
been offered as even the favorable con
sideratiOn of Boutwell, for this place.
We dislike to think so meanly Of Arthur
as to believe what the papers of his own
party tell us, that he personally preferred
to name Boutwell,, but was restrained by
the certainty that the Senate would re-
iect him. The administration has
enough political sagacity to know that
there are some thingsit dare not do.

A JURIMAN IN TROUBLE.
How 4 Philadelphia Election Fraud Tr
was Suddenly Stopped.

How 4 Philadelphia Election Fraud Trial
was Suddenly stopped.
The case of David Mouat, on trial fol
election frauds, came to an unexpected
stop in Philadelphia yesterday morning.
District Attorney Graham called from the
jury-bOx man registered rs "F. Schultz,
locksmith, rear of No. 4j4 Belrose street, "
and cross-examined him closely, when the
man admitted that he had worked OH sew
eral street car lines under Il number tf
names, and that he had not lived at the
place indicated since February, 1880,
though he insisted that his rea! name was
+. Schultz. He showed great ignorance
of the locality, and satisfied the court that
he was an impostOr, though conviction be-
came = certainty when Mrs. Schultz, the
wife of the man who actually lives
at the address given, took the witness
stand and testified that she had
lived there for more than three years,
that her husband was in New York, and
that she did not know the juror. Judge
Biddle said to the juror: "You seem to
he guilty OF so many offenses that | am
embarrassed to know what to commit you
for. You have been guilty of perjury, of
false personation. of obstructing justice,
and Of contempt Of court. l will, however,
district attorney may send in such charges
as he sees fit against YOU" The judge
then apologized to the other jurors for
having unwittingly subjected them to the
companionship of such 4 man, and for
having subjected them to several days
confinement for no good purpose, since
they would have to be discharged
and the case retired. He then with
drew the iurv and ordered = naw
panel. Mouat's counsel made an effort to
have the case postponed and his client ad-
mitted to bail. The judge consented to
let the case 60 over until Wednesday, but
remanded Mouat to custody. The case
had advanced so far that the evidence for
the commonwealth was all in, while tho
defense had called several witnesses to
testify to the good character of the pris
Oner. 1t was found after the court had
adjourned that the jury had already taken
a vote upon their verdict, and stood II
for conviction and for acquittal, tho dis
senting juror being F. Schultz, locksmith.
