4 shrewd Way to Get a Jury.

Cairo, H., Aug. 10.-The sheriff of Lexington county, Ky, reached Pad ucah, and hiring a horse and buggy went into the country and in a few hours summoned a large number of men on 6 jury at Smithland to try a couple of men for murder. He had thus far failed to obtain a jury in his own county. Returning to Paducah, and still wishing sixty or seventy more he shrewdly obtained a crowd by mounting dry goods box and making a rattling speech. Suddenly diving into hls attentive audience he gobbled over seventy more, thus makiug a panel of 150. The Fowler took the entire party to Smithland, delaying her arrival here several hours.

The connection Of the Atlantic & Pacinc with the Southern Pacific railroad cannot but result in mutual advantage to both and aside flom being the favorite transcontinental passenger route the future freight business of the two roads will be something enormous and cannot at present be correctly estimated. The Atlantic < Pacific company will here after handle most if net all of the through California freight, as by the new route freight can be shipped in from three to five days less than by the old. The connection at the Needles affords still another outlet for the enormous amount of coal found near Gallup on the A, X P. R. R. and it is already reported that the Southern Paciac company have contracted for fifty carloads per day for their own use, with the prospect of 8 largely increased demand.
 It is claimed by engineers that the coal found near Gallup makes more steam with less water than any other, which with the immense difference in its price gives 1t such an advan t9ge ae to almost become 8 monopO- ly.
 Millions of feet of lumber from the San Francisco mountains will also find its way into Californla through the connection of the two roads and at such prices as will almost defy competition.
 Immense amounts of low grade lead ores from this county will now be able to find market in San Fran CISCO, where lead is scarce, at remH- neratiVe prices and mgny of our mines which are of little or no value will be worked at a profit. The union of the tworoads will give won. derfui impetus to business everywhere along the line of the two roads and more especially between Albuquer que and the Needles, and cannot fail to be the means of rapidly set ting up fhe vast extent of territory fiarougii which tbe A. & P. R. R. runs, and which until now has been comparatively unknown.

IustiRable Homicide.

Denver, Col, Aug. 8.-Word has been received here that murder had taken place at Fort Lupton, on Sun day last. The details as given are about as follows: An old man named Case, quiet inofensive man about 55 years of age, has been in the VIC in,ty of Fort Lupton some time, en- gagged in hauling hay. He is almost universally respected. On Sunday afternoon Case, with others, includ ing man named Ben Frish, was sitting about the store door, when Frish, who had fer some time ;n- dulged in hard sentiments towards Case, commenced an altercatiop with him, in which he used violent Ian guage, several times threatening to kill hlm. Picking up piece of scant ling lying near, he rushed upon Case with the exclamation, ''I'll ix you. noW." Several bystanders rnshed to interfere, but before they could reach Frish the blow fell, The old man, however, stepped aside and the blow that would have felled an ox,- dropped hsrmlesslY. Tn an instant Frish gathered himself and raised the scantling for another blow, when Case picked up hammer lying near and struck Frish on the side of the head. The latter fell at once, and was dead in three minutes. Case gave himself up and was kept until Monday, when the justice decided that the killing was justifable and released the prisoner.

COMPETITION IN TELEGRAPHY.

Judging by the present indications,
the strikers will not be able to bring the
Western Union or the Baltimore and
Ohio TO their terms; but they may rem
der y great service to the public by es-
tablishing their own lines and conduct
ing them on genuine cooperative prin-
ciples.-NCW York San.
IL the pending strike ofthe telegraph
ers results in bringing about a square
competition in t~elegraphy, it will have
served a good purpose to the country.
There is less competition in tele.
graphy than any other of the great
agencies of the country. 1t is well said
by the Sun that "for the healthy devel-
opment of the telegraph there should be
several competing companies. Then
the public would be we'll served, because
each company would endeayor to Guido
its competitors in the accuracy with
which it transmits messages as we'll as
in the reasonable rate of its charges"
II the telegraph Brotherhood succeed
in the undertaking of establishing a
new system of lines for themselves, it
will insure permanent competition. 1t
is not likely to be gobled up and COB
bled in by any other line. And it Is
this kind of competition that the coun-
try wants to insure fair rates and solve
all the difficulties in our telegraph sys-

THE camp VS.. TEE HOTEL.

The great watering place hotel is los
ing favor with the summer tourist.
A great hotel, wherever located, is a
place for strangers. Families and clubs
Of friends do not fancy being slowed
away in the narrow quarters of 8 great
hotel, nor do single individuals fancy
paying from three to five dollars q day
for such isolation.
The popular notion at present seems
TO be for little colonies Of friends to To-
cate in camps or cottages where they
can indulge outdoor exercises and live
in free and easy intercourse with each
other. The social features Of such q plan
make it not only pleasant but far more
healthful than the stiff and formal life
