main reason which prompted him TO de-
mand it In the present case 10 TO put TO the
jurors the question: "Have you any de-
sire for the success of either side In this
issue" The defendants attorneys shook
their heads at this statement and said they
would not agree 70 1t.
"but We have q right to it, said Mr..
Preston, sand will show you authorities
for it,"
Judge Falligant said he had never heard
OF the putting of jurors on their voir dire
In civil CAGES and he would like TO hear the
authorities on the subject. Mr.. Patterson
asked for little time TO prepare his author
tiles, and Mai Meidrim wanted to go ahead
with the striking of the jurors aud have that
question decided later, but Mr.. Patterson
objected. He wanted all the questions set
tied first.
The arguments and objections had, up to
this time, consumed ga hours, and Judge
Falligant. seeing that there was no chance
TO make any progress with the case last
night, ordered a recess until 10 o'clock this
morning, at which time all the authorities
OF both sides on disputed questions are ex-
pected to be ready. The voirs dire issue
viii then be decided and jury selected.
Judge Falligant gave notice TO the law
yers that the hours Of the trial would be
from 10 O'Clock until 2 o'clock, and from
O'Clock until o'clock. The trial will last
at least five davs and probably longer.

De Soto Hotel Stables.

Among the passengers borne from our
shores by the steamer Kansas City, yester-
day evening, was the veteran proprietor
and livery stableman, Capt. John Feeley,
whose name Is familiar one to tho travel
Ing public and a household word at home,
Capt. Feeleys trip on this occasion is not
solely a pleasurable one TO the great
metropolis. as is customary with him at
this season, but the ostensible object of his
visit now Is for the purpose of furnishing
and equipping the stables OF the De Soto
hotel, situated at the corner of West Broad
and State streets, with carriages, vehicles
aud equlpages OF every description, of mod
ern make and style, and to supply horses of
the best breed and stock for the same.
The accommodations Of this mammoth
vehicles, and, as the captain expressed il,
lit will be kept in first-class style ana
order, and in point Of equipment will sur
pass anything of the kind in the south, and
for accommodation will place our city in
advance or other cities of the south, and
not to be excelled by any of colder
cline"
Capt. Feeley considers this outlay a
necessity owing TO the vast increase in the
tide of travel as exemplihed by the busi-
ness done by the De Soto during the past
season, when, as extensive as was his
facilities, be. foundithem taxed, and Outlines
inadequate.
In view of being equal to the promising
outlook and demands of the future, he has
decided what to do, and with him to decide
Is to act-ad.
