CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. "A verdict for the defendant was
rendered By a jury in Judge Clifford's court
to-day in the case of Samuel w. Wagner
against James b. Peabody, broker on the
board of trade. Wagner sought to recover
$1,000 in money which he invested in grain
through Peabody, as Wagner claimed, for
the benefit of the heather. The plaintiff was
a foreign missionary enthusiast, who said he
thought God would forgive the means in con-
sideration of the end sought, which was to
secure more money than he had to spend for
the relief of the untutored savages of the
Congo. The $1,000 invested was loss, and
Mr.. Wagner made the claim that he had
informed MIR. Peabody of his philanthropic
motives. and that Mr., Peabody had not been
impressed with Mr.. Wagner's reasons for
taking a "hyer in wheat" 1t was agreed by
counsel for Mr.. Peabody that it made no
difference what the purpose of the specula-
tion was, whether it was for the heather or
for Mr.. Wagner's own use. The rules and
practices were the same in all cases, and
Mr.. Wagner took his chances just like any
body else Besides, the counsel said. Mr.
PEABODY had only MIR. Wagner's word for it
that his motive was phlanthroplc ana not
selfish The jury was asked to compel Pea
body to return the losses which the tiuctua-
| tions in prices entailed, out after being out
several hours the Jurors came to the conclu-
| sion that if Mr.. Wagner had been successful
| he would not have "kicked," and they decid-
ed against his novel claim.

ing the department of the Atlantic,

or three years and some system institut-
ed by which men in emergencies may
sever their connection with the service with
government General Howard joins General
Crook in recommending that the infantry
arm Of the service be reorganized by giving
the regiments three battalions Of four COM
panies EACH He recommends also that the

exchanged for magazine gun.
