Yesterday afternoon in the Circuit Court, Judge Montgomery, Messrs, Morris & Hamilton filed a motion for a new trial in the case of the will of the late John Hoover, which was set aside by the verdict of the jury on Monday. The motion is based on exceptions, and sets forth that the court erred in its rulings as to the grounds of challenges for cause allowed to the caveators and in its rulings allowing to the caveators the right of peremptory challenge; that there was no evidence to sustain the ver- dict; that the verdict was contrary to the e dence; that the verdict was contrary to the weight of evidence; that the verdict is un- reasonable; that the verdict is contrary to the law and instructions of the court; that the court erred in its rulings during the trial in admitting and excluding evidence and in its structions to the jury, as appears by reference to the exceptions taken at the trial, and for errors noted in the bill of exceptions. The motion will be heard by Judge Montgomery Satur ——— Banquet to a Business Man. The friends of Mr. Nathan L.

The base ball warfare at present consists of the dropping, here and there, of a contract now with the league, now with the brother- hood, Neither side seems to have the advan- tage. although public symyathy is generally with the league. A dispatch from Boston says: “Mr. Hewett of Washington has been here trying to sign Mack, Ferson, and Haddock, but ; lett for home without success. All the men are determined to stick to the players’ league.” Word has come from Springfield, Ill, to the effect that “Harry Staley, the pitel:er, bas signed with the Pittsburg brotherhood club, and Fete McCoy signed with the Washingtons.”* This is probably the McCoy whose red head adorned second base a couple of days in this during the summer. Gruber has signed a Cleveland brotherhood contract, and Larkin of the Athietics and Robertson of St Louis have doue the same. a A Minature Scene from a French Park. Lansburgh & Brothers have in one of their windows an artistic piece of work which at- tracts large crowds in front of their store. It isascenein a French park, and beautifully dressed dolis are made to represent human beings, There isa typical French policeman flirting with a nurse girl who has carelessly allowed her charge tofall to the ground. A all girlis evidently frightened at the ap- proach of a frog, while one small boy is fying a kite and another is robbing a bird’s nest. The attitudes and expressions are all remarkably good. The arrangement was the work of Slessrs. Holoff and Gibson, This same scene was on exhibition at the Paris exposition and ed considerable attention there. Working Men Want the Law Enforced. ‘The Federation of Labor, at its meeting last evening, adopted resolutions which set forth that since the passage of the pawubrokers’ law, which was approved March 2, 1889, there had been “but one conviction in the face of open violations of the law,” and in that case sentence was suspended, the federation therefore de- mands the enforcement of the law by the Dis- trict Commissioners, and it was directed that a copy of the resolutions be sent to the District Commissioners, judge of the Police Court, dis- trict attorney axd superintendent of police. = sc saehana Lucille Ritter, daughter of a rich Brooklyn merchant, has eloped with Louis Monico, a variety actor, Awren Buoov Heoxon.

She claims that she was misled by Mr. Denison into buying lots worth much less than the price, being deceived as to the loca- tion, She complains that Mr. Denison was act- ing in the matter as agent of Nancy W. Cush- ing and charges that the sum realized from her was to be divided between Denison and Mrs. Cushing.

Disagreeable flow from the nose, tickling in the throat, offeusive breath, pain over and between the eyes,ringing and bursting noises in the ears, are the most common symptoms, Catarrh 4s cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which strikes directly at its cause by removing all impuritiesfrom the blood, bittlding up all the diseased tissues and giving healthy tone to the whole system.
