One Word just as Worthy of Recogni-

Lord Coieridge does not recognize the En-
fish word lunch" 1t is the word, not the
institution, which suffers from this judicial
severity. The Lord Chief Justice and all
the Judges of the High Court recognize the
claims of the meal, and punctually adjourn
for it. AS to the word lunch" seems just
as worthy of recognition as luncheon. 1t
strictly means lump of bread, and the
longer word strictly means the same. Nor
Is luncheon anew-fangled term. Its history

acters in Dryden, 81 cut a luncheon

lish word lunch," # not current at home,
enjoys large foreign circulation. 1t has
become in the last few years quite French
word, and seems to be ousting the regular
gouter from its cwn tongue. Psychologists
might find curious Illustrations of national
character from the derivation of both words,
for lunch means lump Of food and
gOuter means to taste, The one suited the
solid eater, the other the epcure. Lunch
now ranks with "punch, o'clock, skating,
great attraction and meeting" in that sin
gularly selected list of phrases which the
French have recently annexed and assiml-

tiers, forgetting the word COULTER, say ''apres

hind his saddle. Mr.. Trusdale saw me find
the hammer"
Il. A. Mccain testified as to Olsen's dress,
horse and bundle.
f. r. Griffith, one of the men who was
sent by the Sheriff 10 search OlSen's house,
testified as follows: "On the 10th OF No
vember, under the direction of Sheriff War
field, | went in company with John GIBBONS
and Robert. Billiard and searched OIsen
mothers house, near Lagrange. we found
pair of overalls in n room occupied by

the overallS shown in court as the same
ones. , ~.
Frank Peterson was sworn, He said: II
live at Olsen's. Saw Billiard, Griffith and
Gibbons on the 10th or 18th inst. at the
ranch; did not see the overalls; did not tell
Griffith OF anybody else they we're Olsen's,
and | did not show them around"
AS this testimony was just opposite to
what the prosecution expected, they had to
impeach the witness, and 4 long argument
ensued. Witness then acknowledged that he
did go to the room with the officers, and saw
them take a pair of pants and shoes, but no
overallS. He also denied telling them that
the overalls were Olsen's.
Owing to the turn the case had taken the
District Attorney explained why he was so
particular in identifying the overalls. He
safd he discovered what appeared to be
blood on them; that DR.. Sherman had made
a chemical analysis of these stains, and they
proved TO be blood and human blood at
that.
Witness then said he slept in the room
where the overalis were found, and that he
kept his in this room. BE was at the ranch
on the night of the 9th inst. Il don't know
when Olsen came home. l saw him at

slept IL wagon near the barn. The sun
was just coming up. Do not know what

The court then adjourned until to-mor-
row morning at Q O'Clock.
Olsen to-day looked very much down
hearted None,0f his friends or relatives
were present which caused some comment
from the public. The courtroom was
crowded with ladies and gentlemen, and
business in town was almost at a :standstill,
SO many were at the trial listening to the
evidence. The District Attorney and his
assistant are working at the case with a
will, but as all the evidence is parely cir
cumstantial, it will be hard to get convic-
ton unless the missing liuk-the hammer

A PHILADELPHIA FAILURE.
The Banking House OF B. z. Jamisoa G Co
Forced to Suspend

Forced to Suspend.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 2S.-The failure of
3. X. Jamison & Co., bankers and brokers,
was announced on the Stock Exchange this
afternoon. The firm closed its doors and
made an assignment to Samuel Justine
Thomson. No statement of the liabilities
or assets is made. The suspension resulted
from the failure of the firm to realize upon
its assets. 1t has been known for the past
few days that the firm was in a shaky con-
dit Oh through the stringepcy of the money
market, coupled with the failure of Barker
Brothers Il Co., but there were hopes that
financial relief would come in time to avoid
suspension. Wednesday, at the close of
business, it was said this assistance would
be available this morning. and, as business
was resumed as usual, il was believed the
trouble had been passed.
Two thousand shares were sold on the
Stock Exchange this afternoon for the ac-
count of Jamison & Co. The firm always
had a high reputation, and the opinion IS
general this afternoon the failure will not
be a bad one, or that other moueyed insiitu-
tons will be seriously affected. The firm
was the Philadelphia correspondent of a
large number of country banks, and it is
said the failure was fastened in some de-
gree by these institutions calling in loans to
the firm and closing accounts in con sequence
of the present stress in financial circles.
III was reported THIS afternoon that Jami-
son lost considerable in the st. Paul and
Minneapolis Mortgage and Trust Company,
which was organized last year. The firm
has really been in trouble for several
months and has been trying to extricate
itself from its difficulty. During the money
squeeze in August it came very near going
under, but it was helped out and enabled to
go on. For some time past conservative
brokers have avoided transactions with
Jamison & Co., believing the firm had too
much money tied up in outside enterprises.
The head of the firm said this evening
that he could not now make statement,
and IL pushed by creditors wonld probably
not be able to resume. By outside people
the liabilities are yaiiously estimated at
from half.a million TO n million.
