Young Nuts 1'r1al-A Lawyer Who Re-
 fuses to Assist in the ProsecutiOn.
 PITTsBURG, Dec 4.-The commencement of the Mutt trial at Uniontown tomorrow has caused such an influx of strangers that since early this afternoon the hotels were filled to overhowing. Senator Voorhees, will reach there tomorrow morning. There has been no change in the list of counsel for the prose- cution. Judge Curtis, of New York, had been engaged by Dukes stepfather, but this arose from misunderstanding. Immediate ly after the shooting Judge Curtis volunteer ed his services, but for some reason they were declined. A week ago the judge was communicated with, and supposing he was wanted for the defense telsgraphed that he would come at once without pay. To-day he learned that he was expected to appear for the prosecution and at once sent dispatch in which he declines to assist in the prosecu- tion of Mutt and says that in the l&tter's place he (Curtis) would have done the same thing and in concluding expresses the hope that Mutt will be acquitted. His mother wis tied her son James Mutt in jail to-day. He seemed cheerful. but not boastful. It is not believed they will be able to obtain jury in one day. The defense contribution fund now amounts to $500.

 Escape He Once Had From Death.
 LAooN1A, Dec. 4.-John F. Marsh, a locomotive engineer, recalls the fact that his freight train in May, 1881, at Plymouth acci- dentally ran over Thomas Samon, She La conia murderer. Samon heard the warning whistle but mistook the direction of the train and before it could bs stopped the en- zine and three ears went over him as he lay prone between the rails, but rem arkable az it was he came out gripsack and all uninjured As the train moved on again Samon took of his hat and bowed to the engineer in rscog- milton of his promptness in stopping the train.
 The murderer Samon was given an inter- view with his wife this morning, with whom he talked freely, stating that he was ready te be hanged and that he felt much better since bis confession. If he is hanged be will be the first murderer who ever met that fate af- ter being convicted in BeIknap county. There is still talk of his insanity. Since his confession has been made public reaction has set in and most people now pity the murder CT. There is no doubt but that he could walk Main street without being molested. But few people believe him insane.

The hackneyed phrases os ''selling at cost, Y" "the manufacturers price for everything" and many other obsolete devices and cheap clothing tricks are no longer tolerated by firms who are keen enough to drop them Several years ago, when this country was in 8 condition bordering on poverty, so to speak, :, the catchy announcements were read and be- lieved by nine-tenths of the people, when in reality the statements contained about twen- ty per cent. of truth and eighty per cent. of exaggeration. At the present time we are glad to say that only one tenth of the people are led to believe that the so-called great re- duct1ons of thirty to forty per cent. are gen. uine. Like charity, we will admit that dealers who indulge in this style of advertising have made truthful statements. Their customers who bought goods previous to the time ot reduction must have paid thirty to forty per cent. profit, and perhaps little more, not deducted, to help pay large rent or incident. al expenses It must be borne in mind that expenses govern prices, especially in this city where competition is quite strong, and the volume of trade limited to it's own precincts including few country towns. Therefore we believe that all thinking people will read fly perceive that Oak Hall is clothing store of the happy medium order, and the manage ment is proud in being able to truthfully an nounce that the business up to the presen time has been exceptionally fine, which ii partially due to the fact, that expenses gov ern prices, and both are low in
