JUSTICE GOODMAN's PLACE.
Meeting Of the Executive Commfttee 70
Fill the same.

Yesterday afternoon the Democratic Ex-
ecutivs Committee met in the County Court
room 10 discuss the propriefy of nominating
some one to & the unexpired term of Walter
A. Goodman, magistrate-at-large. The event
excited considerable interest. The following
members of the committee were present: L.
H. Estes, chairman; Ray, Scruggs. Martin,
Linkhsuer, Rourke, Harris, Powell, Hessep,
Losgue and Walsh.
The question arose as 10 the prepriety Of
the committees selecting q candidate.
Mr.. Martin opposed this. He was in favor
of a convention.
Mr.. Harris said that the committee ought
to choose a candidate, aud would show a
decided want of moral courage if it did not.
He thought it was the duty Of the committee
to make the selection; otherwise there was
but little reason for the committees exist
ence.
Mr.. Julius A. Taylor, who chsnced to be
present, wss opposed to this, and gave his
reasons for the holding of a convention.
The motion that the committee nominate
candidate was lost by vote of seven to
four.
The committe then resolved to hold con-
ventiou.
1t was resolved that primary meetings for
the election of deleg atee should be held next
Thursday between 1880 and $3.50 O'Clock

UNDER THE BAN.
A Letter OF Condemnatfoa OF the Ger.
man Catholic Society OF 81. John.

WHEELING, January ga letter of con-
demnatien from the Rt. Rev. John J.
Ksin, bishop of Wheeling, against the
knights Of 81. John, German Catholic co.
cIeiy, was read in all the Catholic churches
yesterday, ordering all Catholics to with
draw from the society before March lat,
under ban OF Recommendation. Last
September the diocesian sy nod at Its meeting
in this city, passed statute forbidding
round dances and the sale of beer at enter
tainmept. by CItholic societies, and a pas
toral letter was issued ordering all Catholic
societies to enroll themselves as such and
submit their constitution for approval by
January 1.t; all not doing SO TO be denied
privileges accorded regular Catholic socie-
ties. The knights of st. John did not ooey
the order, aud on last Tuesdsy night gave a
ball at which beer wss ssld and round dane.
ing indulged in TO test the matter. As much
excitement had been created among German
Catholic, the reading of the letter to-day
was the result. Whether members Of the
order will withdraw or defy the episcopal
authority is a mooted question. Many OF
them talk ds6antly now, and the Germsn
press characterizes the action of the bishop
as an outrage upon the freedom o. the Ger
man members of his church.

TIE CORN SQUEEZE
On January Options nj Chicago Given
Up by the ManfpuIatoIs.

CHICAGO, January 29-The Gaze of ]. B
Lyon & Co. against the alleged manipulators
OF the corner in January cora came up TO-
day on a motion 10 dissolve the injunction.
After argument the case went over. 1t is
stated that one element in the heavy drop in
the price OF January corn this afternoon
was the settlement OF long line shorts by
David Dows & Co. at 66@663c. The Times
will say: "The squeeze on January corn
allowed by those engineering it eliminated
to-day. January options opened at 66c,
and during the regular session of the Board of
Trade sales and settlements were made at 66
@664c. On the afternoon call, however, the
frat sales were made at 65c. From this
figure prices dropped, under large sales amid
considerable excitement, to 58c, and closed
at 571958c. Having succeeded in forcing a
settlement, all short trades outstanding ex-
cept contracts affec ed by the Lyon injunc-
tions, the clique concluded it was unneces-
sary 10 continue longer the manipulation
and decided to unload. On call its brokers
managed TO sell 2S5 900 January corn,
and also, it is believed, large amount OF
February, March and May, which it had
been forced 10 purchase from time to time.
Transactions in corn on call reached an uu-
usual aggregate. Based on Saturdays closing
figures, the decline amounted 10 l04c jan
uary, 23c February, lie March, &c May. 1t is
stated this evening that the clique has Its
cash corn, 10 the amount over 2,000, 600,
already sold for February, and will deliver
TO buyers the first of the month";

An unsuspecting boy.
He did not see the animal.

With fore feet on the oaken keg
Which holds the springtide beer;
But he gazed upon the posters
And his young heart filled with glee,
For his means would gain him entrance
To the upper gallery.

Saw the boy and stTaightway he
Left his meal and hied him thitherward
With great velocity.

But the goat unmoved by that.
