shipment of books from the same firm
amounting in value to 1861. r. all of which
is for the library the money coming from
Harper & Bros. Round Table and Com
mercial Travellers.
When the Round Table decided that it
could not raise sufficient funds to estab-
fish an industrial school at the farm as
was first proposed. it was suggested by
Harper x Brothers that the money raised
by the Round Table be used for the Good
viii library. This plan was finally
adopted.
The Round Table fund amounted to
Sl699.l5; to this the Commercial Travellers
added s3l0 making total of $3009. IL. They
have already selected books amounting at
list price to $66l.l2. These were furnished
by Harper & Brothers at SO per cent dis
count. so that the books cost the fund
1892 II. leaving a balance OF Sl6I1.03. 1t is
understood that $i11.03 OF this can be ex-
pended at once for library books. leaving
q fund of $500. the interest of which is to
be rsed annually for the increase of the
library. AS soon as possible. the case
which is to contain the Round Table and
Commercial Travellers library will be
provided and appropriately inscribed.
BY this arrangement the Good Will
library will receive a fine addition to its
treasures. and an endowment fund which
will allow of a small expenditure each
year for new books, and the kind efforts
of the Round Table and the Commercial
Travellers Association have deserved
and permanent recognition. The Com
mercial Travellers Association is now
dissolved.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
But Clay Finds Satisfaction in the Jury :,
Findings at London.

London Nov 30.-There is WIDESPREAD
interest taken. in what is known as the
promissOry note case, now being heard
before the Lord Chief Justice of Eng
land. Lord Russell of Killowen, in the
Queens Bench division of the high
court of justice. The court was
crowded. today, when the hearing of
the case was resumed.
Lord Chief Justice Russell, in sum-
ming up said he thought the Jury
would have no difficulty in answering
the questions of fact, adding that the
really difficult and important questions
in the case would demand for him to
determine later on. The whole story.
he explained. was melancholy and sad.
His lordship then put five questions
to the jury. The principal one was rs
Clay's account of the circumstances
under which he signed his name true?'
The answer was Yes
Another question asked was Was
Clay in signing his name as he did,
recklessly careless. thereby enabling
Nevill to perpetrate a fraud?"
The answer was No"
Under the circumstances it was also
found that Clay was the victim of
misplaced confidence. Arguments on
the findings have been reserved until
Saturday.

Chicago. Nov. 30.-Walter j. Nor

yesterday. in the examination Of jurors
to hear the second trial of Luetgert,
was objected to by Assistant States
Attorney McEwen. today. Thomas
Bachelor. who was passed. yesterday,
was acceptable to both sides and will
probably serve.
Very little progress was made, to-
day. About a dozen veniremen were
examined. several Of whom We're chal-
lenged for cause while others were
passed temporarily. The utmost Wig
lance is being used on both sides and
officers are carefully investigating the
character of every man who is in any
way likely to become a juror in the
case.

CRIMINAL LIBEL ALLEGED.
Senator Wellington Of Maryland So Charges
the American OF Baltimore.

Baltimore, Nov. 30.-United States
Senator George L. Wellington. this
morning. filed presentment against
Gen. Felix Agnus. charging criminal
libel, and it is understood that civil
suits will follow. General Agnus is the
publisher of the Baltimore American,
and the action is the outcome of an
editorial from the Washington Post is
cited and pronounced true. The Post
editorial charged that Senator Yelling
ton, in furthering the candidacy of
Gov. Lowndes, to succeed United States
Senator German, sought to influence
the members Of the Legislature by
means of the public offices within the
gift of the Chief Executive of the state.
Senator Wellington went before the
grand jury, this morning, bearing with
him a copy of the American. containing
the article complained of which was
published under the heading: THE Dis
grace of Wellington There We're no
other witnesses and after his with
drawal the grand jury devoted 20 min
utes to discussion of the case, at the
end of which time an indictment was
found. Gen. Agnus promptly furnished
bail in the sum of $1,000. There was no
arrest.
Gen. Agnus said in reference to the
suit This is libel suite No. SO against
the American. of which we have only
lost three and we only suffered nOmi-
nal penalties in them. We will meet
this suit. as we have met all othets.
and my attorneys will be instructed to
push it. In my opinion it is merely an
attempt to muzzle the press in view of
the coming contest for the senatOrShip.
The American has been very unfriendly
to Senator Wellngton's interest in that
matter, and the hard hits given him. in
my opinion. greatly reduced his power.
The American, however,. will continue
to publish the news of this contest as it
progresses. whether Mr.. Wellington
likes it or not
Senator Wellington declined to dis
cuss the suit which he had entered
against Gen. Agnus, except to say that
he intended also to bring a civil suit
against Gen. Agnus and The American.

representing total of 500 tons for the
eight-inch turrets of the battleships
Kearsarge and Kentucky. We're tested at

For testing purposes two eight-inch
shells. one a Carpenter projectile and the
other a Wheeler sterling were fired at
the plate. Neither penetrated nor
cracked the plate, but partially welded
themselves into it. The test was regard
ed as entirely satisfactory and insures
the acceptance of the armor.
The delivery Of the 500 tons will wind
up the contracts which the government
has with the Carnegie Co. for the supply
of armor for naval vessels. and it is not
expected that any more will be ordered,
pending settlement of the whole armor
question by Congress.
