KeLlOGG'S CASE.
THE PLEAS FOR ABATEMENT ovERRULED BY
JUDGE wYLIE.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-In an opinion
upon the pleas for abatement by the defence
and demurrer, entered by the government in
the case Of the United States against William
Pitt Kellogg, charged with illegally receiv.
ing money while United States Senator, for
action in connection with the expedition of
certain Star-routes, the law required the
plea for abatement to be drawn with great
e1sctness, said Judge Wylie, as he took up
the first plea, bssed upon the failure of the
indictment to agree with the presentment.
He dismissed this plea because it was not
material.
The next plea, charging with illegal at
tendance upon sittings of the grand Jury,
Judge Wylie said, was not based upon fact.
ker WAS the authorized representative attor-
ney for the United States and this District.
The pleas attacking the grand jury as ille
gal because the members had not been noti-
fed five days in advance that their names
had been drawn, and because the notices did
not specify the proper hoHr, were dismissed,
because they did not agree with the facts and
were not material.
The next ples, an important one, said the
Court, charged illegality in the proceedings,
because vacancies in the jury, caused by GER
tain persons being excused, had been filled
by the bar instead OF by summoning tales
men. Instead of picking up talesmen, the
M sIsh al had taken the names from a box,
the names supposed to represent persons le-
gally eligible. Was that fatal to the whole
panel, asked Judge Wylie, and in answer he
read number oil authorities to the contrary.
The feet that the names had been obtained
from the box was no objection, providing the
persons pos g. sssed legal qualifications, said the
Court, as it dismissed the plea.
Upon the question of the applicability OF
the act of Juue 30, 1879, the Court had
passed in the case Of the United States
against Dorsey, holding that the sci was not
in force in this District, but even if the pleas
were in accordance with the facts, said Judge
Wylie, in summing up, the indictment was
good, because all pleas alleged violations
Of the District statutes, whereas the Uaited
States statutes also governed; that at once
| was fatal lack OF eIactness in the pleas.
Therefore the pleas were overruled, said the
Court in conclusion.
| Mr.. Wilson, for Ex-senator Kellogg, noted
an exception and filed a motion TO quash
she indictment, based upou Ker's presence in
the grand jury-room and upon the imperfec.
lions and deficiencies OF the indictment.
Ii was agreed 10 proceed tomorrow with
argument upon the motion to qussh, and the
1 Gaze WAS continued.

culnrB have been sent out advising tho sol
dier that a large amount had been RpprO-

In New Britain, Conn, there is a
factory for the production of quassia
cups-the quassia wood being so in
tensely bitter that a cup of fresh water,
if it is a quassia cup, will become very
bitter in one minute, and these cups
long have been in use in some families
for this tonic quality they impart to
the water. The chips and shavings in
the cup factory were thrown away or
burned until some of the lager beer
brewers discovered that they were avail
able in place of hops for lager beer.
Then demand arose for them until
now the proprietor of the shop is making
more money out of his chips and shaw
ings than he is making out of his cups.
