PRELIMINARY
TRIAL BEGINS
Chicago Beef Packers Being Tried in
a Bunch.
McROBERTS is DISCHARGED
COMMISSIONER GARFIELD WILL
TESTIFY.

Chicago. Dec. 12.-Attended by an
imposing array of legal talent and
crowds of spectators, the last pre-
liminary 10 the formal trial of the
beef trust" cases began here today
before Judge J. Otis Humphreys, in
the United States court. The issues
TO be tried We're on ten special pleas
raised by the packers and which must
be settled by jury trial before action
- taken on the indictments returned
by the federal grand jury.
Case of McRoberts.
The case had scarcely opened before
the government and the defense
FLASHED in a mild way. Attorney John
S Miller, acting for the packers, de-
manded without qualification that the
charges against Samuel A. McRpberts,
of Armour & Co, one OF the defend
ants, be dismissed at once District
Attorney c. B. Morrison, for the gov
eminent, asked for one days time in
which to consider the matter He adj
mitted that Mr.. McRoberts had testi-
fed before the grand jury which re-
turned the indictments. Attorney Mil
Ter declared that in view of that fact,
although the defendant had entered
special pleas. under the law McROberts
must be discharged.
Prisoner Discharged.
Judge Humphreys said that he UNI
derstood the law to be as stated by
Mr.. Miller, whereupon the district at
torney entered a nOlle prosequi, dis
missing the case against McRoberts.
James r. Garfield, commissioner of
most of the governments case depends.
was among those in the court room
this morning. He was subpoenaed
TO tell what he did while investigating
the beef industry, and whether, under
that investigation, the present defend
ants were promised immunity In their
case. Five men from Mr.. Garfield's
department will be here tomorrow to
give evidence ain the case.
Separate Trials Demanded.
The attorneys for the defendants de-
nanded for their clients a separate
trial in each case. District Attorney
Morrison objected. Attorney Miller
spoke at length on the right of the de-
PENDANTS to separate trials and was
finally interrupted by Judge Hum
phreys, who said:
In case of two pOstoffice burglars
we would require them TO stand trial
together, would We not?"
Yes, your honor" replied Mr.. Mil
Ter.
Will Be Tried in a Bunch.
Other attorneys for the packers made
lengthy arguments for separate trials
and District Attorney Morrison object
ed for the government. The debate
finally subsidized into a conference, and
il was agreed that all the defendants
would stand trial together, the defense
announcing i had no desire TO pro-
long the trial indefinitely. 1t was also
agreed that both sides should have
seventeen peremptory challenges for
each Juror, or tWenty-fOur in all.
Challenges may be made for cause.
No proceedings We're held after the
agreement regarding the trials had
been reached and the selection of a
jury will commence tomorrow morn

Two distinguished members Of a
fashionable Paris club, NM. Malroy
and Bourg. had mortal falling out
and fought a duel with swords in n
ball room. Bourg scratched Malroy
on the wrist, satisfying his honor.
Dueling, of course, is frowned upon
everywhere but in France, the Atlanta
Journal comments. There It Is toll.
Grated because the French duel Is so
harmless. Besides, It Is an easy
means by which French gentlemen
may acquire n sense of "honor." When
Il Is considered that some fierce but
bloodless encounter Is the only basis
of many mans claim to honor, the
duel as played In France must be
recognized as a social necessity. But
the scratching Of an antagonists
wrist Is not fair play. II is a mean
and "cowardly" trick. Such practice,
II persisted in. will put the French
duea IN disfavor. Surely French gen.
tlemen will insist upon displaying
their courage and gaining clean bills
of honor-health. without being blood,
led or disfgured in the process.

The birthstone for November is the
topaz, and with the yellow chrysan-
themums coming on and the roses Of
yellow filing the greenhouses, there
should be little difficulty in finding
plenty OF floral decoration at least. The
goldenrod, which comes nearer the
deep. rich shade of the topaz than any
of the other blooms. may be the very
hardest to find at this time of year. but
if some effort is made it can be secured.
Yellow as decoration is old; and new
ideas for the working out of the color
scheme are not very plentiful. Perhaps
the newest may be found in an attempt
to play uDon the yellow newspaper
idea.
Jf this be done, go to newspaper or
telegraph office and secure some yellow
"fimsy." Have the invitations written
on this and send to the guests The in
vitauons may read after this fashion:

One of the most just aud timely
decisions ever made by a Judge in
this State was that of John w. Ma
son in the Circuit Court at Morgan.
town during the past week, in regard
TO the game laws Of the State. Judge
Mason decides that each shipment
of game out of the State constitutes
an ofense instead of each piece of
game being a separate ofense, as
decided and acted on by the game
warden in order to mu!ct the offend
ers for as much as possible for their
own personal gain. But the best Of
the decision by Judge Mason is that
the fines go into the School Fund of
the State instead Of into the pockets
of the game wardens, as has been
the practice heretofore. This will
do more to stop these highway rob
berries than anythiag else
that could be done, except to send
a few of these modern Dick rur-
pins and Claud Duvall gentry to the
penitentiary.

One of the biggest and most i'm
portant deals made for a long time
in this section was the purchase by
Senator Elkins last week of a big
block of over a thousand acres of
coal land, lying near Kingwood,
from Hon. w. G.. Brown for $3s
per acre for the coal. Mr.. Brown
retains the surface, except that the
Senator is to have such part of it as
may be needed in the coal and coke
operations at such price as may be
agreed upon. This block of coal
aIjoins hundreds OF acres of other
coal belonging to Senator Elkins
and vas the key to the development
of it, as good drift openings can be
made on it in several places near
Kingwood and Mr.. Elkins proposes
TO build switch into it and open
up the finest cCal plant in the coun-
try just as soon as it can be done.
He will also build 200 coke ovens
at once and fifty dwelling houses
for workmen. Other ovens and
houses will be erected just as soon
as the mine will admit of it and
several hundred men will be employ
ed and all this means much for
Kingwood. We will have more to
say of it from time to time.
