THE STAR ROUTERS.

Ngw YORK. Oct 17.-The Times Wash
ipgton special says: Among the persons
who have become obnoxious to the Star
route defendants are the judge who tried
them and the attorney general and his asso
cates who prosecuted them. They have
been tried once, but they are to be tried
again, and the day has been set for sec
ond trial. The end of the first trial was by
no means the end of their labors. Since
the day when the verdict was set aside,
they and their counsel have worked harder
than ever they did during the progress of
the trial. There are several objects which
they desire to accomplish. The first of
these is the removal of Attorney General
Brewster from the cabinet. 1t is the old
story over again. Once they were labOring
to cause dissension in President Garfield's
cabinet for the purpose of getting Attorney
General McVeagh out of their path. Now
it is his successor He was too much in
earnest in the prosecution, and it may
safely be assumed that every means VIII be
used to shorten his career at the head of
the department of justice. They
believe that if Brewster should
retire Merrick, his assistant and their in
defatigable prosecutor, would go with
him. They also hope to prevent Judge
Wylie from presiding over the second
trial

jumping off OF the wagon, picked up a
handful of stones and advanced to meet
Fisher. When almost close enough to
touch each other Fisher remarked: '1ll
blow your damned head off, and immedi-
ateiy followed up his threat by discharging
one barrel of his ancient revolver full at
Schuck s head The ball struck Schuck's
right cheek but glanced OFF,
and in an instant he had grap>
pied with the would-be murderer, thrown
him to the ground and wrested the pistol,
Ca rusty 90 calibre of the Colt pattern,)
from him. The old man begged Schuck
like a good fellow not to strike him and
his prayer was needed. Subsequently he
turned about and hurried into the city and
tried to get warrant out for Schuck's ar
rest, but was himself arrested by Sheriff
Ankrum, on warrant sworn out by
Schuck before Squire Cropper. and his ex-
animation is progressing this afternoon
Schuck told the ARGUS reporter that one
day last spring, while coming out of
field whistling, Fisher, who was driving
by, called out to him to ''stop that whist
ling" and he retorted by telling Fisher
that he might go where the fires are never
quenehed. 1t is quite likely, therefore,
that Fisher will enter no more shooting
matches at present.
LATER.
1t being impossible for Fisher to get the
counsel that he desired, the examination
was postponed till Saturday, the 21st inst,
at o'clock p. m. Meantime Fisher will
be out on $500 bail, if he can procure suf-
ficient bondsmen, which, at last accounts.
he was trying to do.

CHANGE IN room ESSENTIAL.

Ii one boy were to say to another that
he could not eat one quail, or partridge, a
day for thirty days in succession, very
likely the challenged boy would re-
ply that he could. At first glance such =
thing would seem not only possible, but
a desirable task, for the quail is a very
toothsome bird. Nevertheless, many
have tried to do it. and there is only
one instance ON record wherein the
eater succeeded. In February, 1870,
two men, both OF whom lived in Wash
ington, made a wager in regard to the
matter. The man who did the eating
was a road-shouldered, muscular per-
son. He selected the hour between 9
and 10 in the morning, and ate a
partridge, in the presence of many peo-
Pile, during that hour every day, for
thirty days. On the last day he was so
nervous as to be almost unable to write
his name, and for a long time he suf-
fered a great deal. OF course, such
wagers are foolish to a certain extent,
but we learn from this experiment that
change in our food is an absolute neces-
sity.
