BUILDING MATERIAL.

BETTER facilities are offered lumber dealers
here for receiving their supplies from the mills
than III former years, and the consequence Is
that stocks are large and well assorted, notwith-
standing the heavy drain made upon them for
building purposes in this city. Trade TO the
country Is better than In any former season.
Our brick kilns are still enabled TO supply the
growing demand made upon them. but how long
this may continue is yet 10 be determined The
shipment of doors, sash and like material is now
very heavy There have been heavy sales made
to the west and other directions of paints oils
lime and cement and the orders are daily in
creasing.

New YoRK, Dec. IL. An interview took
place with ex-senator Spencer yesterday at
Champion, this state. Mr.. Spe Ger says his
present residence is in Nevada, and that this
fact had all along been known to the depart
ment OF Justice. He claims that though he
was in Washington all through the the first
star route trial, and tried in every way to meet
Mr Bliss and be sworn, Bliss would not see
MIN, ana did not answer note which Spencer
wrote to him. immediately after the conclu-
sion OF the first trial he called upon Bliss and
informed him that he had very important min
ing interests West which demanded his atten-
ton. Bliss then told him to go. He has not
yet received notice OF any subpoena as wit
ness IN the second trial. At present he does
not know whether he will go to Washington
or not. he knows Brady and Dorsey we'll, but
never. as alleged, saw the two together Neth-
er did he as claimed by the star route prosecu-
ton ever see any money pass between them
nor did hes know of any such transaction He
says he does not know any thing about the
cases which would be of any material interest
to the government.

RAILROAD NOTES.
November Railroad Earnings.

The financial Chronicle prints its usua
monthly statement of the earnings of some ol
the principal railroads for November in com
parison with the same month last year
which like those of preceding months are very
favorable. There is some change in the ratio
OF increase, this being II per cent this month
against 16 per cent in October and IA per cent
in September, but whether the percentage be
larger or smaller is really of very little mo-
ment, the main fact being steady and contin-
uous rise in the aggregates, month by month
over the same period in 1881.
Railroads operating mileage of 46,63t
against A., ,160 last year show earnings of $685.
1000, or an increase OF $3,760,000. For the
first eleven months of the year we have fifty
four roads reporting gross earnings in 1882 OF
$257, ,172 130 against 1924 ,9S0 851 in the CORES
pondiug period of last year, an increase Of
$32 19l, ,270, or IA per cent There are but
four roads that fail below last year, and the
aggregate decrease of these is only 1885,, ,005.

THE STAR ROUTE CASE.

Trying to Get Jury to Try Dorsey.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 12.-In the Star route
trlal this morning question came up to
whether counsel had the right to investigate
persons called as jurors. Judge Wylie had
decided thatiif counsel desired to exercise that
right they must first challenge the juror for
cause and state the grounds of the challenge
Two hours argument ensued, in the course of
which Mr.. Ingersoll admitted that he did uot
pretent to know anything as to the law in force
IN the District OF Columbia, but neither did
anybody else.
Judge Wylie adhered practically to his yes
terday's ruling.
At length the defence was forced into
challenge of Jurors Barrett for cause
Judge Wylie thought the cause of the OBJ
lection to the juror was sufficient, and Barrett
was discharged.
The next person called as juror was Thomas
walsh. His replies to the same class of ques-
TONS were practically the same as Barrett's.
Isaac Eicher was the next called. The de-
fence made no objection to him and called on
the court to require the counsel for the prose-
sutton either to challenge or accept him.
The court declined to do So and Eieher kent
bis seat in the jury box.
After sone delay the panel was completed as
far as the challenges by the defence was con-
cerned. The right of challenge on the part of
tne prosecution not being yet exercised. The
nrst juror, Isaac Eicber, was then challe Iged
Tor Cause on the part of the prosecution, chal-
!enge was sustained. As to the second Juror
John ID. Crane, who sought exemption on ac.
count OF the necessities of his business Judge
Wyle decided he must serve and he was there
