A bill is to be introduced in the

Louisville members of the general as
sembly have the proposed legislation

good in many parts of the state At
present, according to the Herald.
three jury commissioners selected
by the judges place list of taxpay-
ers' names in the jury wheel. the cir
cult judge enters his private room,
where the jury wheel is kept, and
where no mortal eye, except his own.
is allowed, turns the wheel and Sc
lects twenty names from which the
grand jury is to be drawn. He then
selects panels of petit jurors. A par
tisan or dishonest judge could keep
drawing names until he found names
of men who are known to be under
HIS influence. placing the rest of the
names back in the wheel" The pro-
posed change is that the names of
juries be drawn in open court and in
full view of anyone who cares to see.
Another bill that will come up in the
legislature is TO separate the judi
ciary and political committees. No

ii is likely foolish to cherish ideas of

have escaped through the roof, no

call from Kansas city. He presided
for number OF years as pastor of a
large church there. until he received
a call from the Newark conference.

for eight years. His resignation was
refused when he stated his desire to
seek a new pastorate. He replied that

suming old-fashioned Methodist min
ister His prayer meetings are a feat
ure of his remarkable success in
building up each church he has been
the pastor OF. He alway has something
new to interest the congregation. AS
preacher he is unexcelled. He talks
straight at you, but at the same time
with a kindness which draws you to
him.
Dr. Snodgrass will occupy the
Methodist pulpit Sunday morning.
The family will move here as soon as
the parsonage is vacant.

Flowers a considerable distance.

DROPPED BY
NC CLELLANS.
Engine Company Declines to
Ignore the Running of Their
Steamer in the House.

The member, of George b. McClel-
Ian Engine Company, OF State street,
held a special meeting last night to
talk over the peculiar action of Cor
nelius Kenny of the McClellans, and
William Kenny, of the Lincolns. in re-
CARDS to getting up steam in the
steamer while in the building Satur-
day night and nearly setting the
house on fire.
1t was voted to drop Kenny from the
roll and also to ask Lincoln Engine
Company, through Chief Moylan, to
have them drop William Kenny.
Late Saturday night, as told in the
NEWS yesterday, two firemen went
to the McClellan's 5 house when the
argument arose as to whether or not
one of the two could run the steamer.
He said that he could, and he would
prove it.
In a few minutes great clouds of
black smoke began to pour out of the
stack of the steamer and the machin-
cry was working as fast as it possibly
could. The smoke covered the ceiling
and it is pretty sight today. The
side walls and upstairs are covered
with black SCOT.
Foreman Patrick Rock soon arrived
on the scene. The steamer by this
time, it was said. was carrying sixty
pounds of steam and it was only after
a great deal of work that the foreman
was able to drop the fire and stop the
appa ratus.
In conversation with NEWS re-
porter, this morning, Foreman Rock
said he could not understand why the
two fellows had been foolish enough
to start the steamer when they coulC
not stop it. He suggested reason
however.
