BY the drastic exercise OF four Of its
FIVE peremptory challenges the prose-
cution in the case of TREY L. Ford yes
terday cleared the jury box in Judge
LawIor's court In a decided manner.
The attorneys for the general coun-
sci of the United Railroads were more
reserved in the use of their greater
privilege and only challenged three
men. The combined sally left five men
in the jury and the defense in the far
better position, for while seven Jurors
are yet to be chosen. Ford has that
many psremptory challenges yet to
use.
The peremptories were exercised late
in the afternoon. Assistant District
Attorney John OGara entered the first
challenge, excusing Hiram B. Cook.
the former prizefight referee. who SUBJ
sequently kept the Trocadero road
house and is now residing near the
Parkside track. On his examination
in the morning Cook said that he knew
Ruef, but was not conducting the Troc-
adero when Ruef fed there. He pro-
fessed 10 take little. interest in the
graft disclosures, yet understood that
Ruef, as the municipal boss, distrib-
uted the Doodle to the supervisors
through James L. Gallagher. He
thought that perhaps the Doodle money
was done that way" he explained wise
ly. Cook passed on examination, but
fell under the peremptory challenge.
CHALLENGES ARE EXERCISED
Then the defense challenged John NJ
Fischer. a saloon keeper OF 1870 Church
street. who, when questioned in words
Of approximately one syllable, showed
little interest IN the graft cases and
didn't know what immunity meant
O'Gara followed with challenge
for James A. Sorenson, the Market
street Jeweler, and the defense ex-
cused Leopold Schoenfeld, real estate
broker of 946 McAllister street, who
had been questioned extensively by the
defense attorneys in an endeavor tc
establish a bias. But Schoenfeld would
not admit he was prejudiced, though he
believed bribery had been committed
OGara excused Rasmus Rasmussen
g retired hotel keeper Of the Potrero
accepted Friday. and A. A. Moore for
the defense excused Frank F. Cham
berlain, real estate broker Of 2o52 Bush
street who had formed the opinion
that Patrick Calhoun was guilty OF
bribing the board of supervisors, but
whose prejudice did not extend to
Ford, SO he could not be excused fol
cause.
LOUIS COHN EXCUSED
The fourth peremptory challenge OF
the people was exercised on Loui.
Cohn, who the prosecution believed
was a regular attendant at the other
Ford trials. O'Gara offered to make ar
evidentiary showing of COINS interes
in the cases, which the juror had de-
MED, but Judge Lawlor would not give
him until this morning to produce hi,
proof
After the exercise of the peremptory
challenges Antonio Ferero, a merchant
of 1919 Washington street, and Johr
J. Pratt, a hardware dealer OF 1885,
Point Lobos avenue, were accepted
after brief examination which

give a perfectly fair and impartia
trial.
The case was continued until II
o'clock this morning with William
Wertsch a wagon manufacturer, and
Charles Brown. retired merchant, In
the box for examination. A new pane

showed both to be singularly free from
previous knowledge Of tho case and Pc
culiarly unbiased.
When the court session opened yes
terday morning Benjamin A. Brilliant
asked to be excused on the ground
that he could not convict on circum-
stantial evidence. He was let off.
George Thompson, Daniel Block, Ed
ward II. Bacon and Howard c. Curtis
were excused because they held opin-
ions on the Ford case. William H.
Dowd was excused because he was
sure the supervisors had been bribed
and the defense entered challenge.
Milton H. Cook was not wanted by
the prosecution. Robert Dewar and
Horace Denny could not be fair to
the defendant.
Those veniremen conditionally ac-
cepted yesterday were excused by the
peremptory challenges. The trial will
be resumed today.

The Sixtieth Congress.

There is something of the family

The initial session of the Sixtieth
Congress, representing run of
three-score stands-two years each,
attests the growing popularity of
the legislative branch of the nation.
In the morning swarm of call
ers came to pay their respects in
brief manner 10 the President and
various departments. Senators and
congressman found their way to the
various committee rooms at the Capt.
tol at an early hour. Later in the
day the corridors and halls were
filled with visitors and an express
wagon caravan brought floral offer
ings for the members and senators.

hospitals while they are fresh and
fragrant with the sweet odors of

blossoms fingered in the corridors0n
that opening day, and everybody
looked good natured.
Congressmen were as busy as if On

roar. The kings second son, the
Infants Manuel, was slightly wound
ed, but Queen Amelie, who strove
to save.the crown princes life by
throwing herself upon him, was un-
hurt. >.
A band of men waiting at the cor
ner of the Praco do CONNER clio and
the Rua do Arsenal suddenly sprang
toward the open carriage, in which
the family were driving to the palace
and leveling carblnes, which they
had concealed upon them, fired.
The king and the crown prince,
upon whom the attack was directed,
were each shot three times and they
lived only long enough to be carried
to the marine arsenal, nearby, where
they expired.
Almost at the fsst shot the king
fell back on the cushions dying and
at the same moment the crown
prince was seen to half rise and then
sink back on the seat. Queen Amelie
jumped up and then threw herself
toward the crown prince in an ap-
parent effor, to save his life at the
cost of her own, but the prince had
received his death wound. The po-
lice guard fred npon the assaSSins
and killed three of them.
The royal family were returning
from Villa Vicoss, where they had
been soiourning. and we're on their
way from the railroad station to the
palace. A strong guard was in at
tendance because of the recent up
rising in the city and the discovery
of plot to asssssinate Premier
Franco and overthrow the monarchy.
But the band of murderers had sell
'ected the most advantageous spot for
the commission of their crime, for
they we're concealed from the police
until the carriage had wheeled in
the Prsco do Commerce., a large
square. Before any of the guards
were aware of what was happening
the assassins leaped toward the car
riage and instantly a fusillade OF
shots rang cut.

she Joined the Methodist church and
was converted and lived that faith
even until death. On her death-bed
she expressed herself very clearly.
She said she was willing and ready
to die. Oh! What a consolation it
was to her in her dying hours. She
had no preparations to make, but
had left it all to Jesus long ago.
She leaves nine children to mourn
her loss, viz: w B Brown, W 2
Brown, R E Brown, j W Brown
MP Brown, A j Brown, Mrs Clara
