PRENDERGAsT ON TRIAL.
The State Aiming to Get a Jury That
Will Send Him to the Gallows,

The State Aiming to Get Jury That
Will Send Him to the Gallows.
Chicago Dec 6.-The trial of Prender-
CAST for the murder of Mayor Carter Har-
rison was begun to-day The line of IN
quiry on behalf of the state showed that
the intention was to get a jury which
could believe Prendergast to have been
crank at the time he fired the
fatal bullets into Mayor Harrison's body
and yet be responsible for his deed, know
ing the difference between right and
wrong. The states attorneys questions
also indicated that the infliction of the
death penalty would be asked at the
hands of the jury if Prendergast was
judged to be guilty of murder beyond
reasonable doubt.
The talesmens answers in relation to
the defendants plea of insanity showed
that nearly all had a suspicion of such
defense, while many who were excused
had made up their minds unalterably
that Prendergast was guilty of
dastardly crime and should be
hanged The line of examination on the
part of Attorney Wade for the defense
was mostly confined to inquiries if the
talesman had any prejudice against evil
dence tending to show that PrendergaSt
was insane, and also as to whether the
men summoned considered the killing of
Harrison a graveF crime than the murder
of any other citizen

The nomination of William B. Horn
blower, to be associate justice of the SUI
preme court, was to-day referred to the
judiciary committee. 1t is said that there

of the case of Clark r. Greggs
VS.. Melville c. Day ct al, executors
of Cornelius X. Garrison, in which some
severe reflections are made upon the legal
ability of the nominee. The most serious
allegation against Judge HOrnblower's
ability as a iurist is said to be the opinion
of the New York court of appeals, before

FLAMES IN A NAVY YARD.
The Storage Building at Norfolk
Burned With It's Contents.

Norfolk Va, Dec. 6.-There was an i'm
mense fire in the navy yard this morning,
and before the flames could be subdued
storage building seventy-tive feet wide
and $50 feet long, three stories high, with
its contents of steam engineer stores, was
in ashes.
The fire was discovered at $40 O'Clock.
When smoke was seen coming from the
building the fact was reported to the
watch officers, and Immediately there
after to Admiral Brown, who ordered out
the fire department, and the bell at the
gate was rung.
Capt Cromwell, who has charge of the
navy yard, made an investigation and
found the fire in the center of the build
ing on the second floor. The Ports
mouth fire department was called
on and sent two engines.
which, after having great difficulty in
getting water, went to work and sent
powerful streams into the burning build
ing. The water did not have much effect,
however, as there was a great quantity
of cotton waste, turpentine, oil and other
combustible material which burned
furiously, and nothing could be done other
than to cOntine the blaze to the doomed
building.
THE BOOKS SAVED.
While the fire was at its highest. J.
Turner White and Willie Powell, two of
the clerks engaged in making an inven-
tory of the stock in the building entered
the Office, though warned that it was dan
gerous, and secured all the books and
papers.
There was only one accident during the
fire, George w. Bland, of Portmouth.
while placing ladder was struck over
the eye with piece of falling slate, re
ceiving bad cut, which was dressed at
the dispensary.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been from spontaneous comDustion,
as there is a standing order that all the
Office fires must be eNtinguished at 1
O'Clock, and the fire was first discovered
where cotton waste was stored.
The loss is expected to reach between
100000 and $500 600

New York, May 7.-Public feeling
