JUDGE M'D0NALD'S CASE.
Supreme Court Discharges tho Rule, and
Orders Trial Before Judge Guthrie.


Special Dispatch to the Intelllgencer.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Aug. IL
The supreme court mas been in session
since yesterday, listening TO the argu-
ments in the Mcdonald case. AS 1t is
well known the attorneys for Judge Nc
Donald filed writ of prohibition, ask
ing that Judge Guthrie be not allowed
to try the case until the grand jury had
taken II uHder consideration.
Judge McWhorter, of the court of ap-
peals, granted the writ Of prohibition,
which stayed proceedings until the
tenth Of this month. The attorneys for
Mcdonald, Messrs. MacCorkle and
Chiffon, and S. c. Burdette, argued that
according to the common law malfeas-
ance in office must necessarily be first
reported to the grand jury and then II
an Indictment was found the case could
be tried IN the proper court. That would
take 1t out of Judge Guthrie's hands.
Theattorneys forthe citizens commit
tee, Messrs Brown, jackson and Knight,
Price and Flourney, and Mollohan and
McCintic, c8HteHded that according 10
the late statutes any member OF the
county court who was guilty of gross
immortality, intemperance, and the
like, that was charged in the complaint,
must necessarily be tried before the
Judge of the circuit courtas the otfenses
are not indlctable. Both sides produc-
ed many authorities to sustain their
cause and the arguments OF counsel
were forcible and strong.
At 1905 y. m. the court, through its
president, Judge English, handed down
an opinion. sustaining the law and dis
charging the rule as improvidently
awarded, which means that the case
will be remanded for trial before Judge
Guthrie,
The court then adjourned to meet at
the next regular session In Charles
town, In September.

NEW YORK, Aug, 11,-A dispatch TO
the Herald from Havana, says; Official
information has reached Havana OF
decisive battle between royal troops and
insurgent forces in Matanzas. Accord-
ing to this information the Spanish
troops were routed after hard battle,
with heavy losses,
This news caused verltable sensation
in Havana, as II is generally known that
Captain General Weyler is now In Ma

Spanish troops directly under him were
those that suffered defeat at the hands Of
the rebels.

FIGHT FOR THE POST OFFICE.
COLONEL DUPONT WILL HAVE TO
DECIDE AGAINST SOME OF HIS
FRIENDS.


Colonel Henry A. DUPONT, dispenser
of the Federal patronage coming TO
Delaware, has a fight on his hands, and,
as all of the participants have hereto
fore been his political friends, ne Is
placed in a rather unenviable position.
It is the office of postmaster of Will
mington, which has led to this state OF
affairs in the regular Republican ranks.
Postmaster Mo1re's term will not ex-
pire until next July or August, but
there are already several prominent
applicants in the field and more 20
come. Winfield S. Quigley, r. Evan G,
Shortlidge and Washington Hastings
are in the fight to the finish. w. G. r.
Colquohoun is also mentioned, but he
recently announced that he had retired
from politics for good, and unless he
has changed his mind his name Il
doubtless used without authority.
