Parsons, W. Va, November 27.-In
the Eastman case to-day, Judge Holt
passed upon the qualifications Of the
twelve challenged talesmen and stood
aside eight of them, six upon the chal-

the number was the man with the
long name and the short memory, who
wore a coat like Joseph and swore like
Peter, Christopher Columbus Cosner.
He was charged with saying that
Thompson would never shoot two
shots at another man, for he was dead
and gone where all infdels go, but to
save his life he could not remember
a thing about it, neither could his
brother William Henry Harrison Cos
ner, who was sworn in his behalf
But there were too many witnesses
who did remember it, and so Christie
pher Columbus stood aside.

defense entered the hotel office one eve

there any Eastman jurors here? If so,

A Correction.

Referring to an article on the depar-
ture of VIM. Montgomery from the
Institution which appeared in the last
issue of the Argus, we desire to state
that it is incorrect in two particulars.
First, the officers and employees of
the Institution are under no prohibi-
tory rules bearing upon the use of to-
bacco. They are only requested to be
prudent in the use of it about the
school.
Second. The boy to whom Montgom-
cry gave tobacco was neither expelled,
suspended nor sent away from school
either permanently or temporarily:
He left of his own accord, unwilling,
we suppose, to face the odium which
his course would receive from his
school mates generally. The boy who
left is full orphan, about ~ years old
and lives near Churchville in this Co.
Mr.. Bowles has not only not prohibit
cd the use of tobacco among the off,
GERS and teachers, but has furnished
Montgomery, who is neither an officer
nor an employee, for nearly one year
past with limited quantities Of tobacco
at his individual expense.
Mr.. Bowles has succeeded in sup
pressing the use Of tobacco among the
pupils by creating sentiment against
it. He has not punished boy in a
single case for violating the rule pro.
hibiting it's use. We do not think him
q tobacco crank, but the condition OF
affairs has demanded that he take
some positive action in the matter.
Montgomery is not a pupil or an en-
ployee, he as matter of charity has
been allowed to stay at the Institution
and do little odd jobs. He has no
right there under the rule, and if the
board were to deal with him according
to the letter Of the law he could not
stay moment. He was caught pur-
chasing and bringing tobacco into the
pupils, thing which is positively
prohibited, and this was not the first
offense of the kind. Others had been
overlooked until at last it could be
overlooked no longer.

count of which he complained at

Capt. Lurty ought not to feel angered

counted him out, send him card of

Friends Again.

A little item in various papers which
stated that Gen. Fitz Lee and Capt.
John s. Wise dined together in Wash
ington just before Gen. Lee sailed for
Cuba, was not fully appreciated by
the general public.
In the days of Readjusterism these
two men found themselves on opposite
sides of the political fence. Later on
they were opposing candidates for
Governor of Virginia, in a campaign
which was much envenomed by polit-
ical rancor and hatred. Many unpleas
ant remarks were made pro and con,
and the two men had not spoken from
that day until few days before or
possibly the day before they dined
together. The story as told us by a
close friend of one Of the parties is as
follows: Gen. Lee went one morning
q few weeks ago to see the President
and was seated in what Is know in
Washington as the "cooling room" or
ante chamber, where persons desiring
to see the president await their turn.
Capt. Wise was also there awaiting
his turn. The captain was walking up
and down and his perambulations
brought him each time very near
where Gen. Lee was sitting, but Meth
or seemed to notice the other. After
this had gone on for some time Capt.
Wise stepped up to Gen. Lee and said:
"Fitz. d-n it, let's stop this foolish
ness" There was a cordial hand
shake, and next day found these gen.
tlemen dining together and talking
of the old times and the new, as if
nothing had ever mafred the serenity
of their friendship.
