FIGHTING FOR A JURY
Very Little Progress Made in
 the CrOnin Trial.
QUESTIONS BY THE DEFENSE.
They Claim that the Jurors Called are
 Nearly All Germans

The Suspects' Lawyers Desire to Ask Each
 Juror His Belief or Opinion as to the
 Chief Acts of the Tragedy-The Lawyers
 for the State Busy Hunting for Author
 ities-No Prospect of Securing 8 Jury
 This Month.
 CHICAGO, Sept. s. Very little pro- gress was made to-day in selecting 8 jury to try the Cronin suspects Attor- ney Forrest submitted list of questions which the defense wished to put to the jurors. They interrogated the juror as to his belief or opinion as to each of the chief facts in the tragedy as published in the papers.
 MT. Forrest made long argument, the purpose of which was to show that all persons should be excluded from the jury box who might have held or now hold any opinion regarding the guilt or innocence of the prisoners. He talked for more than two hours, and took occa- sion to rap the baliffs for the sort of ju- TOTS they are bringing forward.
 II would like to call the attention of the Court" he said, ito the venire called in here this morning. When fifty men are called, and forty of them are Germans, 1t is going to make 1t very difficult to get jury. We are not going to take Germans on the jury, and don't suppose the other side will take Irish men. But when forty of the fifty sum- moned on the venire are Germans if is not accident, and we will fight that Kind of venire to the last ditch"
 MT. Forrest then pleaded that non @ but Simon-pure Americans, and those of large calibre and independent means. be summoned for examination.
 The lawyers for the State have been busy hunting for authorities to combat the admission of the interrogatories propounded by the defense.
 The prospect of securing jury dur ing the present month Is painfully dis nal. The fifty men who responded to the second special venire are nearly all | Germans, and will without doubt be dropped as quickly as they are called.

Peaches in Maryland.
THEY ARE NOT ALL DEAD YET.

Opinions have been obtained from
peach growers in different sections of
our county relative to the reported
damage sustained by the recent exces-
sive rains and heavy frosts.
These opinions will be read with in
terest, no doubt, by the community
generally, as everybody in the State of
Maryland, is interested, either directly
or indirectly, in the great peach in
dustry. While these opinions differ in
some respects there is a remarkable
agreement upon certain points and the
conclusion we reach after a careful
perusal is
First-The crop in Kent is seriously
injured;
Second-The injury is greatest to
the SmOck variety;
Third-Young orchards are least
hurt; and all trees that bore heavily
last year are now almost barren;
Fourth-The general crop in the
county may yet be one-fourth of last
year; which will likely realize as
much money to the county as full
crop, although it will not be a general
distribution of the beneficial result
that is, many growers will have a total
failure, while others will make money.
Fifth-The crop in Kent is certainly
not altogether dead yet, but the pro-
portionate yield cannot be reliably
stated before the last of June.
Reports from the lower counties and
Delaware indicate no injury so far and
a big crop in rOspect.-Kent NeOs.

Auctioneer's License Case.

The Middletown Transcript says
Last Saturday witnessed somewhat
novel occurrence. L. w. Stidham &
Son, auctiOneers, of Wilmington, had
announced that they would sell in the
afternoon a number of sets of harness.
and someone, presumably acting for
them, posted bill stating the fact on
Parker & Willis walls and threatened
anyone dOfacing the bill with $5 fine.
Investigation by Parker & Willis
seemed to disclose that the harness did
not belong to Stidham, but to a party
from Newark, N. j., and N. NJ. Willis
decided to find out the truth. On the
arrival of the AT P. NJ. train Mr.. Std
ham was approached by Mr.. Willis,
who asked if the merchandise belonged
to him, and, being answered in the
Affirmative, was requested to show his
license. Mr.. Stidham having left it at
home, Mr.. Willis resolved to make a
test case of the matter, and so when
Stidham commenced to sell, procured a
warrant and had him arrested. Mr..
Stidham gave bail for his appearance
at court and finished the sale. The
final result of the matter will be
looked for with interest.
