Jury To-Day.

SANTA Rosa, February 3.-The at
torneys in the Morrow trial were ex-
ceedingly expeditions to-day. The

nesses for the prosecution, an oppor.
tunity to arrive from San Francisco.
No lengthy arguments occurred to in
terrupt the progress Of the examine
ton A ruling of the court in the
afternoon was considered unfavorable
to the defense. An objection to a
question asked A. X. Stevens, secre-
tary of the Sutter street road, as to
whether McCord's severance from the
employ of the company had been vol
untary or compulsory was sustained.
The defense excepted, and wished to
be noted in exceptance so that they
might prove that McCord had been
discharged, and manifested a vindic-
tive spirit towards the defendant in
pursuance of which he had preferred
a charge of embracery against him
before the Grand Jury. They wanted
to adduce such testimony in refuta-
tion of the motive VIII ch the prosecu-
tion tried to establish, showing that
an intimacy existed between McCord
and defendant.
F. P. SWEET and J. Clark testified to
Juror Woods call at McCord's Office,
also that McCord ordered him from
the premises with the remark that
she was not in that business" Both
witnesses were subjected to a severe
cross. examination by prosecution.
Adam Grant, Of the firm of Murphy,
Grant & c., was also examined, but
his testimony did not differ from that
of the other directors Of the Geary
street road.
Judge Edmunds arrived on the even
ing tram, but did not testify, as the
prosecution learned that he did not
possess the information supposed.
The court adjourned at s O'Clock until
tomorrow morning, with the under
standing that the arguments should
occupy but four hours.

afternoon, and the weather being pleas
ant. fishing party, composed only OF
General Harrison and his old friend, R.
S. Mckee, under the guidance of Samuel
Hanway, an experienced sportsman who
is familiar with all the good fishing
ground up and down the White river.
The party left the city about II 80, driv-
ing north along the river three miles.
The had remarkably good luck, for
on their return home al $50
they exhibited a string of twenty-five
fat and shining black bass. They were
all very proud of their catch, but the
General could not be prevailed upon to
tell how many were captured on his
hook, as they had agreed to pool the
result of the afternoons sport. From
another source, however, it is learned
that the President-elect was the luckiest
fisherman in the party, as his catch ex.
ceeded either of the other gentlemen.
Several of the largest bass on the string
were left at Mr.. Harrison's residence,
the remainder Messrs. Mckee and Han
way distributed among friends.
To-day's mail brought photograph
from Albion, Idaho, of the highest peak
in Cassia county, which has recently
been named Mount Harrison. The cere-
mony OF christening the mountain, the
accompanying letter explains, took place
last Sunday evening, when Frank Rob
erts and j. A. Gardner, OF Albion,
elm bed to the top Of the mountain, TO-
600 feet above the sea, and there erected
an octagon tower or altar. some twenty
feet high, on the top OF which they
placed the stars and stripes, and sang
"Colum bia" and other national songs.
Mount Harrison is the highest point in
Cassia county. Its twin, looming nearly
as high, has long borne the name Of
Mount Independence.

The Atlanta Constitution, the journa
edited by Mr.. w. d. Grady, who was
prominently mentioned for Vice. Presi
dent on the ticket with Mr.. Cleveland
says that the Democracy would have won
if it had not been for the muck and rot oi
Mr.. Henry Watterson, and his Louisville
Courier Journal. This is very harsh
view to take Of the matter, but we have
thought ourselves that if Henry had oc.
casionally appreciated the fact that silence
is golden, it would have been better for
Cleveland and Thurman. The brilliant
editor of our Louisville contemporary
very often confounds the Democratic
party with his own personality, and one
of his favorite little diversions is to tell
anybody who didn't agree with him
even such Democrats as Samuel ].
Randall-to get out Of the party. Mr.
Randall, after violent struggle with
Watterson, succeeded in writing the
National Democratic platform in 1884,
when Cleveland and Hendricks were
elected. The Louisville editor got his
work in on the platform in the current
year of grace, and the result has not
been satisfactory to Democrats. How
ever, these two brilliant Southern edit
ors, both of them Democrats, are quite
capable of conducting a lively contro-
versy without any assistance from the

conducted Dry?
INDIANAPOLIS, November "a AT the
forenoon session of the Knights of Labor
some minor committees reported on
matters of no general interest. The Leg.
islative Committee favorably reported a
resolution in support of law placing a
penalty on gambling in wheat and other
necessities. The Convention agreed to
the report, as it also did with a recon-
mendation OF agitation in favor of the
Australian system Of voting.
In the afternoon the Law Committee
reported on the temperance question and
a long discussion ensued. A proposition
had been handed to the Committee to
abolish that section in the constitution
which provides that no intoxicants shall
be sold at picnics or other entertainments
of Knights Of Labor. 1t was reported with
the remark that the Committee deemed
it inexpedient, as according to the pres.
ent constitution saloon-keepers are incl
ligible to membership in the Order, and
to get around it, this amendment was
presented to give leave to outsiders to
sell liquors at such entertainments, but
that members of the Order, as knights,
shall have no such privilege. The matter
was warmly discussed on both sides, but
adjournment was taken before positive
action was reached, and it will be again
taken up on Monday. F
