Telephone Troubles.

NEW YORK, October 1.-Before Judge
Wallace in the United States Circuit Court
to-day ex-Judge Hill finished his argument
for the defense in the case of the American
Bell Telephone Company against the Peo-
pies Telephone Company. When he had
done with the testimony of the wit
nesses in the examination at Eberly's
Mills he gave place to Senator Ed
mundS, who spoke for short time for
the Peoples Company. He said that lie did
not think it necessary to say anything ex-
cept in general way, as Mr.. Storrow, of
counsel for the Bell Company, had ex-
hausted every resource of the case in prov.
ing Bells inventions entitled to the eXclr-
siye consideration of the court. 1t seemed
to him very difficult to specify the
point upon which the opposite side Of
the case was rested. An attempt had
been made to prove that the evidence
of the people of Eberly's Mills was I'M
trustworthy, but in that quiet locality, where
every persons life was open to inspection,
it had been impossible to put up an Opposi-
ton. 1t was not fair to presume that these
people had been or could be mistaken in
what they saw with their own eyes. Mr..
Edmunds said in conclusion: "Drawbaugh's
instruments cannot be the creation of dav
or moment. They could not have been
manufactured by the most skillful of work
crs so that THE intelligent cue would be de-
ceived. They are honest on their face"
Argument for the Bell Company will be
resumed tomorrow.

An Intcresting Point of Law.

MONTREAL, QUE, October 2.-Judgment
has been rendered in the Superior Court in
the case of BerwOrth, in which a very inter-
eStiEg point of law is raised. The defend
Ant, Herbert Berworth, had his store exactly
Oh the frontier line Of the township of Hin
chinbrook, part of the store being in the
State of New York and part in Canada. One
night all his goods were removed from the
Canada side of the store to the American,
leaving nothing but empty shelves for his Ca
madam credi ors to look TO, and they issued
capias against BerwOrth, alleging fraudu-
lent S. erection of his effects. 1t was con-
tended by Berworth's counsel that the goods
had been moved by William Douglass, to
whom he had made az assignment, giving
Douglass voluntary preference for over
$4,000, which would more than exhaust his
whole estate. 1t was argued that under the
laws of New York all debtors property,
wherever situated, was vested in the as
signee, and that he was justified in remov-
ing the goods to the American side of the
shore. The court, however, upheld the pre-
tensions of the Canadian creditors.

CHICAGO, ILL. September 90
To-day winds up the September corn
deal. At opening this morning numer-
Gus pairs of "Short" eyes were glued to
the commission Office bulletin boards,
and as the suspense OF their owners grew
more and more difficult to disguise, the
many attitudes seemed to illustrate an
inward prayer for "Biucher or night"
The only Butcher hoped for seemed to be
sufil iently large receipts to break the
the way. Instead of the two thousand
carload of corn for the corner to alb
sorb ut eighty three cents or more, as an
tlcipated, only 972 arrived. October
corn opened at 81 Lie; but for ten or
fifteen minutes there was no tidingS of
September. Finally the tickerS clicked
off eighty five for the deal. Then 1t was
r ported that McHenry for the corner
was offering to buy or sell at that figure
giving shorts an opportunity to step up
and settle at That ngure.
One of the most exciting scenes ever
known on the Board OF Trade occurred ut
the one O'Clock close. Ninety cent bids
were made for half mil ion lots of Sep
TENDER corn b. the Clique, while actual
saes were made as high as eighty-seven
on smaller tots. Pandemonian prevailed,
and the din of voices WAS terrible. 1t is
reported that eight cars sold at ninety
cents delivered at the p. m. session, and
mite cars were sold about the same time
on the other side of the pit at eighty three
cent. Cash corn sold low as fii.y-eight
cents on one side of the pit, while on the
