trial is likely to occur by the illness of
some juror in the regular panel of
twelve.
California ls the first State to adopt
the innovation and it will be tried for
the first time in the trial of Theodore
Durant. charged with tue crime of the
church belfry murder. The philadcl
phin Ledger says that while this is IA
novel procedure in this country, 1t has
been practiced for some time III Swift

California statute is probably an adap

MIA idea apparently eliminates to some
extent one cause o! vcxatious delay in
reaching justice in the courts. The
legal procedure reformers will watch
the California experiment with much
interest.

change in the past six months, and

A HARMLESS WIDOW

special from Butler, Ala, says: A peculiar suit has been instituted at this place. Mrs. Sue Robbins was passenger on the Louis- vile train the other day. So were Mir. and Mrs. Gabriel Lemon, young couple just married. The train was passing through a tunnel, and Mir. Lemon, who had left his wife's seat, just behind Mrs. Robbins, re- turned to it, as he thought, in the dark ness and proceeded to kiss his newly welded bride. About this time the train emerged from the tunnel and disclosed tn at his supposed bride was Mrs. Robbins. Mrs. kobbins, who is young widow, has sued for S10O0 damages for the mistake, and will not admit that the act was not inten- tional.

excursionists from different points have gone down as much as Sl0 below the tariff.
 The way the rate cutting began is singu- lar. The territory of the Southern Passen- ger association reaches westward no farther than Birmingham, and from that point roads out of the association have been selling tickets to Texas at very low rates, getting large business among the west bound excursionists. Other roads could not understand this movement and thought a general free- for-all fight was being pre- cipitated. Thus every line began to sell tickets at marvelously low rates.
 Commissioner Slaughter of the Southern Passenger association called a mass meet- ing of general passenger agents of all southern and western roads to take some steps looking to a restoration of the tariff rates. With this purpose in view nearly all the leading passenger agents of the two sections have assembled at this meeting.
 Nothing def mite was done today aud the meeting adjourned until tomorrow at 10 o'clock.

ONLY ONE WAS LOST.

f WAsHIEaToN, Jan. 9.-Superintendent Kimball of the life saving service has or dered an investigation into the loss of one life that occurred as a consequences of the wreck of the schooner Richards Spofford six miles and half distant from the Ports- mouth, N. O.. station, on December 27 last. The Portsmouth station is a new sta ton not yet thoroughly equipped and man. ned, but when the wreck was discovered, as was shown in report by Keeper Terrell, he started with a volunteer crew to the rescue. He was unable to reach the vessel, and as the next best thing sent message to the keeper of the Ocracoke station, thirteen miles distant, for assistance. This message, Keeper Howard reports, did not reach his station until 8 o'clock p. m. of December 27, twelve hours after the ship was wrecked. He immediately started for Portsmouth with heavy apparatus, reach- ing there at 8 o'clock at night. One man when the Ocracoke station crew arrived was found frozen to death aboard the, ges- sel. The others were saved in the brooches buoy. The vessel had sunk andJshe crew were in the rigging.

GUARDIANS STATEMENT.

MANCHESTER, Jan. 9.-The Guardian in it's commercial article says: The tone of the market has been undecided, and in- quiry has been irregular. Transactions have also been irregular. In some sections there has been rather more business where manufacturers have become tired of wait ing for bids, and in some other sections engagements have often enabled sellers to be firm; but in few cases has the recently increased business been satisfactory. There is much inquiry, but most of it has been unworkab c. The recent business with China and Japan has been chiefly in nine pound and heavier shirtings, but there is now some inquiry for lighter goods, such as sheetings, Mexican drills and bleach. ing cloths. There has been a revival of demand from India for cloths after a long period of inactivity, and the lesser foreign markets have been bought occasionally and moderately. There has been rather more inquiry for yarns, but in some cases con- cessions have been in order to secure busi- ness.
