off, and hats were destroyed. Soon hey
wore themselves out, and each faction
retired to Its building. But the lawyers
still had a part of the banner, and the
engineers made a rush for the law

have been routed had they not brought
into effective use several Babcock fire

was at home, sick in bed, and there
was no one to stop the fight. 1t Is re-

p. Mccain, the supreme court having
sustained his motion to transfer the
case to the court en- banc. This means
that the case will be resubmitted and
reargued before the entire court. Here
tofore, 1t has been in division No. 2.
which decfied, without dissent, that he
was guilty. 1t is not probable that the
case before the court en- banc will be
tried before the April term, which
opens April 10. 1t may no be argued
before the first Of May, and as it will
probably take the entire court six
weeks to review the evidence, with the
possibility of a summer vacation inter-
vening, Barrington's chances for at
least six months more Of life seem
good.
