Mrs Cordelia Botkin has won what may prove to be her first technical ad- vantage in her fight for life. Twelve men were chosen and sworn yesterday to try her for murder, and now one of the dozen citizen judges that were se lected is not in the jury box. After the twelve men had been accepted and had taken the oath, one of them plsaded that his conscience was more eXacting than the scrutiny of either the prosecu- ton or the defense. He declared his belief that he could not try the woman fairly and he was excused
 It Is argued that when this juror was released the trial had actually begun. It is claimed that when the last of the twelve chosen men swore to be fair, the case was actually in progress, and that if one juror was excused all should have been. There may be much or little in the contention. A preponderence of legal opinion is a~n'nst it, but it has

MOVE TROOPS
Ten Regiments Of Regulars Now
Stationed in the West Have
Orders
To Hold Themselves in Readiness
for Service in Tropical
Climates.
Most of Them Have Already Seen
Service in the Cuban
Campaign.
Nothing Given Out Officially as
to What the Present Activity
Means.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-There has |
been remarkable activity about the war
for several days IN the way
of preparing troops for service in lands
beyond the United States. An order
has been issued, directing 10 regiments
of the regular army now stationed in
northwestern forts and posts to hold
themselves IN readiness for immediate
transportation and service in tropical
climates. Most of these regiments We're
sent to the northern and western posts
few weeks ago for recuperation after
their Cuban campaign. While holding
themselves ready for service these regi-
ments will now be recruited to their
full strength. Nothing is said officially
as to what the present activity means.
but there are several reasons suggested.
It is believed that an early movement
to Cuba is intended, somewhat sooner
than has been generally believed here
tofore. Another belief entertained Is
that the United States government de-
sires to be in position to meet any con-
ditions that may grow out OF the pend
ing peace negotiations.
In this connection an intimation has
got about TO the effect that during the
delay which has occurred Spain has bee"
abba to form some sort o. coalition With
European powers To BACK up the pretell-
tions she has been making in the negotl-
ations. Another reason given for the
| proposed movement OF the regulars Il
| Cuba is that they are to replace the reg
| iments which have given some trouble
and have created disturbances. the last
row being reported from General Wood
| command in Santiago province.
Every department OF the government
has been directed to prepare supplies fo
the 10 regiments and to arrange trans
portation for them as soon as they ar
ordered TO move.

Gas we'll on Fire.

Last night a great light was no.
ticed in the sky north OF here and
it attracted great deal of atten-
ton. Many were the speculations
as to its cause and it was generally
decided that it was fire. The fact
that it continued to burn however
showed that it was no house or barn
and inquiry to day confirms this
theory. 1t was a gas we'll on the
Brewer farm between Mount Morris
and Taylortown. It had been struck
by lightning during the storm in the
evening and it was the light from
this that was seen. 1t lighted up
the whole sky in that direction and
must have been great one.

One Of the brass pieces from the
University is to be sent to King
wood to help the people over there

the artillery section will be sent
along with it and they will have a
very nice time as the people over

done to treat them right. The gun
will be sent by rail to the Buck
Wheat capital and will attract an
immense crowd to see it. The cele-
bration over there as in many other

the greatest thing that has ever hap

rade and speeches and fire works
galore The old town is determined
to be out done by no other town of
its size in the state.
The boys who are to go with the
gun are James Lazier, Frank Alex

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
tWenty-four hours.

The fleet to descend on the
coast of Spain has been Sc
lected and it will be under the
charge of Commodore Wat
son. Real business IS meant
and Spain will be shown that
the sending out of fleets is a
thing that two can play at.
The President has sent a
message to Congress praising
a number of naval heroes and
various honors will be paid
them by that body.
The battle at Santiago has
not yet taken place but the
two hostile armies are very
close to each other and it can
not be much longer delayed.
The city is very strongly forti-
fed and most desperate bat
tie may be expected. The
Americans will lose terribly
before they can take itas they
have no artillery to reduce the
fortlflcation before assaulting
it.
The West Virginia troops
have been ordered to leave
Chickamauga on Thursday
but their destination has not
yet been announced.
A third Spanish fleet is to
be organized at Cadiz.
The third expedition con-
sisting of four thousand troops
is on its way to the Philip
pines.
Sampson thought that Ger
vera was going to make a dash
for it last night and waited
with eagerness for him to try
it but was bitterly disappoint-
ed. The Vesuvius threw sew
eral shells into the mouth of
the harbor in the direction of
Moro Castle.

A PLOT DISCOVERED.
To Destroy the Town of Harper's
Ferry.

CUMBERLAND, Md, June 27.-At
an early hour yesterday morning a
plot was discovered, which, had it
been successfully executed, would
have resulted in burning the town Of
Harper's Ferry Thomas hewitt ar
rived home on train at an early
hour yesterday morning, when he
heard an explosion, and saw light
in harness shop on the opposite side
of the street. He investigated and
found that coal and oil had been
poured all about the building. Soon
other lights appeared in different parts
of the town-and the police were
kept busy putting them out. 1t was
afterwards learned that coal oil cans
containing about quart of oil in
them had been judiciously distributed
in various parts of the town, and the
evidence was plain that an attempt
had been made to burn it down.

CONTRACT GIVEN.
The Glade Fire Brick Com
pany will make the Brick.


The material FOR paving the town will
be partly furnished by the Marion
eompany-Theirb bid was the lowest
and their brick was the best They
will get eight forty-flve thousand
and will make four hundred thousand
for Main St.--ttne hundred thousand
of these will be shipped here at once.
An option has been taken by the
council for the rest OF the town nj
the same rate Permit To sell fire
crackers refused.
Council held a meeting Monday
night which was devoted to the con-
sideration OF the street paving ac-
cording to the plan for the meeting
nights adopted at the last regular
meeting Of that body.
They took up the matter Of the
contract for the brick for the paving
of Main street and gave the contract
to the Glade Fire Brick Company,of
Marion county rhis company had
submitted bid before but they had
failed to have the required tests
made of the brick which they were
to have furnished The council di-
rected them to have the tests made
and they did SO.
These were very satisfactory and
showed that the brick which they
are turning out is the equal of the
very best that was submitted TO the
consideration of the city fathers.
The price per thousand is $S.45.
They are TO furnish enough to pave
Main street when other contracts will
be made for the rest of the paving
as the material will be made.
In this job 100000 brick will be
required. One hundred thousand
OF these will be furnished at once
before the contractor who is to do
the paving is ready to begin. Then
when he gets to work he will have
no reason for delay but can go right
ahead
He has not returned the contract
for the paving signed up but his
time does not expire until this even
ing and it may come in by that
time. Should he fail to comply with
the order the contract viii 90 to the
next lowest bidder and there viii
be merely the loss Of five days in get
ting to work,
Although this was not the night
for regular business an application
for permission to sell fire crackers
was taken up and the council refus-
ed to take action on it after they had
discussed the matter for some time.
This action this year was unexpect-
ed and has led to great deal of adj
verse comment on the city fathers
but they are acting for what they
believe to be the best interests of the
town. However this of all years it
would certainly seem that the young
idea should be allowed to give noisy
vent to his enthusiasm and patriot
ism.
