ing limitations of butter-to wit: oleomar-
garine or butterine, and pleaded not guilty
Mossrs. Eppa Hunton and +. H. Falls appeared
for the defense, and Charles l.. Moore for the
prosecution. Mr. Hunton made motion to
quash the Information, on the ground that the
statute under which the case was prosecuted
provided that such prosecution should be in
stituted by Indictment, and therefore the case
could not be proceeded with on Information.
Judge Smell, however, decided that the case
must be heard ON its merits.
Mr.. Falls here said that his side would
again object 10 trying the case in the Police
Court on the ground that this court had no
Jurisdiction in the premises. He said the
process upon which his clients were brought
into court was contrary TO law.
Judge Smell said he would hear the evidence
in the case and then, before rendering a deci-
sion, would consult with the Judges Of the
other courts.
Mossrs. Hunton and Falls insisted that
ruling should be made on the preliminary
questions raised before the case was heard.
District Attorney Moore insisted that the
trial proceed.
John Douglas, the complainant then took the
stand and testified to having purchased from
| the defendant on the 3th and both OF Fob
ruary, what purported 10 be New York roll
| butter; but which proved 10 be oleomargarine.
Witness was questioned as TO whether or not he
observed the word 'oleomargarine" marked
| ON the firken from which the packages Of al
legged butter were taken. witness, IN answer
| to a question by Mr.. Falls, stoutly denied that
| he entered into an arrangement with another
merchant to prosecute the parties on trial.
| Mr. Arthur Schatz, another mer-
chat also testified that he purchased
| quantity of butter OF the defendants
and found that IL was not an original article
| sent the same 10 Prof. De Smedt for analysis.
| This witness acknowledged that he made com
| plaint against Messrs. Hudson " Waple for
| the reason that the sale OF oleomargarine is
| detrimental TO the interests of the dealer in
| the pure article of butter.
| Dr. De Smedt was sworn and testified that
| he made careful analysis of the so-called
| butter, and said It was composition of but
| ter and lard.
The trial here closed until tomorrow morn.

of the Hon. Alex. II. stephens as the Liberal
candidate for Governor. 1t assures its readers
that Mr.. Stephens is now and has for years been
in full sympathy and accord with the Liberal
movement in Georgia. The Constitution says,
with equal postlveness, that Mr. stephens is
In hearty accord with the regular Democracy
OF that State. Now, what has Mr. stephens &c
say? He may know.
Eleven Of the States in the Union are
not represented on the new Democratic Con
gressional Committee. They are Maine, Yer
mont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Michi
gan, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Col
