was placed on trial. A special venlre of
ninety men had been ordered for his
case, but up to Friday morning only two
jurors had been secured. The judge
then ordered drawn auot er venire OF

silver Purchase Comment.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Treasury sill
yer purchases yesterday were unmarked
by any peculiar feature aside from the
diminution in the amount offered. This
fell off some 200, 900 ounces from
wednesday IS figures. Prices asked main
tanned about the same relation to parity
were nut few offers slightly
below the market. An impression seems
to prevail among silver dealers that when
the treasury has decided within what
prices il will buy offers may come in at
any hour of the day, even as late ms or
o. CLOCK. Such offers are, of course,
not acceptable. TO put them upon par
with those made In good faith and In en-
tire ignorance before the hour set for
closing competition o. clock-would be
TO give them an unfair advantage. For
example, in order to make up as nearly
as might be desired an aggregate of
Wednesday purchase, it was necessary
TO pay one-half cent an ounce more than
the market price for part of the amount
bought. When this decision had been
telegraphed TO lucky bidders other would
be sellers felt that they had a chance
to get this price for their silver. toe,
and sent in their proposals by wire,
which, of course, had 10 be refused.
Affairs seem to be settling down to
fixed system in this silver business. The
usual amount of grumbling is INDUCED
in among silver fanatics at the capitol
as to the way Secretary Window is carry
ing out the law, which will not disturb
them or him, but it is quite possible the
secretary may yield TO them the single
point Of publishing all details of prices
paid etc., on the day the purchases are
made.

Swallows as Carriers.

Special to the Gazette
LONDON, Aug. l6.-A carrier has made
a discovery which perhaps may eventu-
ally be valuable. II has been discovered
that swallows may be trained to carry
messages as well as pigeons, and with
much greater speed and over a greater
distance. = trained swallow was dis
patched on Wednesday from Paris and
flew to Bordeaux in two hours, return
ing TO Paris the same evening. If this
can be relied upon as precedent for the
future travelling of these birds they will
soon supsrcede pigeons. The distance
from Paris to Bordeaux is 800 miles,
making 600 for the round trip.

PALMA'S TOURNEY.
\ Splendid Start Last
Night--Bowling and
Athletics.

The bowling season at the Palma Club
as formally opened last night. The
team tournament began. The alleys
were in fine condition for The contests
and despite the fact that many Of the con
testants are rusty. splerllid scores were
made. The average struck by the four
teams was 15S. One of the teams made
the handsome total of 878. an average of
175 35. Without even This flint total
the average of the three other teams was
152. Tn smallest score was that of
Team No. 2, which was las, notwiths:and-
ing one of its members put up the weak
total OF III.
The Bowling Committee and specta-
tors were pleased at the good work done,
n the prediction of the jubilant mem
bers is that the club that defeats the
Palma's teams this season will nave TO
very satisfactory showing for the first
night of the season.
Ih best total was put mp by Judge
Lockwood, VIC reached 1872. Schermer-
horn. Pendexter, w. II. Eldridge inc
Machold finished In the eighties, not n
OF the twenty bowlers wound up In the
seventies. H.. *. Eldridge, Leuly, Eutrup,
Harrison "a Bettcher stopped in the six
ties, and Judge Clarke, James Clarke,
Frank Baldwin and Kimball did better
than the average, Durrie, Gus Holcomb
and Butts quit in the forties. Miller,
Van Dyke aud Thou made the only poor
scores, but as they are new men. they
We're naturally nervous and will do bet
ter.
The victors were team No. /, which de-
feated Nc 2, and team No. 4, which out
bowled Nc. 8. The victory OF No. / was q
surprise, as George Bloomsbury, one of
the team bowlers Of last season, who is a
member of this qintette, was absent. The
score of team No. 4 was a surprise. They
beat the best score of the other teams,
that of No. /, by an wen hundred, or All
average Of twenty pins for each bowler.
The prizes were on exhibition last
night. They ought to prove a strong in
centive to the bowlers to work faithfully
and well as they are excellent. There is
a diamond ring, two diamond scarf pins,
a set of cuff buttons and q gold match
box.
The scores made last night were as fol-

They win Make a Strong Run Ia the
League Race.
The Volunteer Bowling Club is in bet
ter shape than it was last season to enter
the race for the championship of the Jer-
sey City Amateur Bowling League. It is
i'll the hunt and will be at or near the
head of the aolrinfn at the close of the
season. Any team that measures the
Volunteers team as easy victims will be
sadly left. III The club members have
been practising steadily and the average
mad has been greatly in excess of the
average game of the winning team last
season. OF course, away from home its
average will be less, but it is evident
that it will be much better than last year,
basing the opinion on the way the team
has been bowling. Last night they prac-
tised. Twelve men look part and they
rolled up a total OF 1875, or IN average of
1854 7-12.
The club had its regular annual meet
ing last night and elected the folio wing
