The Work of Sclecting a Jury Occupies the * Day. Prrtsnvna, Pa., Jan. 18—A special to the Chron Progress. [twas nearly 11 o'clock when the case was called and the work of sccuring a jury was be- gun. It was at this point that Senator Quay first made his appearance and took his place with his counsel” Ite appeared to be in dxcel- lent health and his bearing was calm and self- porsesved ns of one who felt that he was master of the situation. When an attempt wes made by the common- Wealth to stand aside John W. Smith, a demo- crat, Mr. Daugherty arose and protested in a violent manner, alleging that it was the pur- ose of the prosecution to select a partisan Jury, and te tailed upon the court to preventit. Judge Wickham replied that the court could not assume that any democratic juror would violate his oath. The work of selecting the jury is still in Progress. ls NO FUNERAL PAGEANT. Remains of Albert Victor to Be Taken With- out Parade to Windsor. Loxnox, Jan. 18.—The arrangements that were made for a public and military procession through London to escort the remains of the Duke of Clarence and Avondale from the Great Eastern to the Southwestern railroad station have been changed in consequence of the general epidemic of induenza prevailing here. When the order was issned by the high military authorities preparations were im- mediately made to carry them into effect, but representations were made to the Prince of Wales that owing to the inclement weather, which gave promise of lasting over Wednesday, it would be dan- gerous to the health of the troops who took part in the ceremonies. It was pointed out that the guards who were ordered to line the route from the Liverpool station of the Great Eastern railroad to the station of the Southwestern railroad would have to stand immovable for a long time and that they would thus be peculiarly liavle to become chilled through and otherwise en- ‘danger their health. 7 Upon hearing the views of the authorities, who made no conceximent of their fears that the exposure of the troops would probably result in a general attack of influenza, the Prince of Wolos immediately gave orders that the projected military funeral be abun- doned. The Prince of Wates, with the ex- amples of the results of exposure during the present inclement weather befors him, as denced by the death of his son, is'showing the greatest solicitude that the members of the court should not be exposed to the unnecessary risk which a procession through London would eatall, and which would be certain to seriously affect the health of many of the aged courtiers, ‘The Duke of Cambridge was upon the point of leaving Cannes to return to London to at- tend the funeral when he received a telegram from the Prince of Wales requesting him not to leave, as the prince did not wish him to run the risk that would be entailed by the change of climate. It ix deemed that the Lealth of Prince George of Wales is not suili- ciently robust to allow of his exposing himself in any way. The Prince of Wales lias decided that he will not be allowed to attend his broth- er's funeral. ‘The body of the duke is still in the parish chureb at Sandringham and will remain there until it is removed to King’s Lynn for conv. ance to London and thence to Windsor Cas All the tenants on the Prince of Wales’ estate at Sandringham and all the people residing in the viliageare allowed to enter the church and view the coffin containing the remains. ‘The cofiin rests upon a bier draped with pall and is surrounded with floral wreaths. ‘The health of the queen has been severely tried by th of her grandson, and still remai as to forbid her presence at the funeral. ‘This being the ense the ladies of the court will abstain from participation in the last ceremonies. > — IT WAS THE STATE'S. The Interest Received by Wisconsin's Treas- urers on Pablic Deposits. Manzsox, Wis., Jan. 18.—Judge Newman filed his opinion in: the great state treasury cases | with the clerk of the Dane county circuit court this morning. The de ion is in favor of the state in every point. giving all that the state claimed. The cases tried were one against E. C.

The amount invoived in the cases covered in this decision ix about $350,000, and is for interest the treasur- ers have reccived on the deposits of state funds and kept for their own use. Senator W.F. Vilas was warmly congratu- lated by his demoeratie friends this morning upon the successful termination of the so- called Wisconsin treasury suits, which ho has 2through Attorney Genvral O'Connor. canary issue Was made in the democratic platform of Wisconsin and had opposition in the rauks of the opposing part The great number of Wisconsin people here are m g itthe leading subject of conversa- tion corridors.

All the Wisconsin Congressmen except Mr. Haugen expressed satisfaction at Judge Newman's decision, although some surprise was expressed at its sweeping tenor. ——— DOWD DENIES THE CHARGES.

Astout old man inagray ulster haileda 4th avenue car at Worth street the other day. One hand was cecupied with a rather im- petuous bulldog on # chain and the other waved a baggy umbrella, When the car stopped the man hailed the bulldog up to the rear plat- form and said to the conductor: ‘ake a dorg on your ear?” ake “Me and John William has town. got to get up n't help it; walkin’s good.” . .ct me ride on the platform and hitch John William to the brake.” ‘The conductor agreed to this and John Will- iam trotted placidly along up the Bowery with- out mishap beyond upsetting two newsboys. Somehow nobody wanted to get off the car on Jobn William's side, and on the crossings waiting, for the car to pass kindly gave John William all tho room he wanted. At 17th street, however, there was @ cross-town ear in waiting and the driver, intent on the hair-breadth escape of the rear platform which ® cross-town driver loves to make, reckoned without John William, who was pattcring calmly along bexide the step. “Hey, hey, hold on,” calied the old man on the platform excitedly. Butit was too late; thers wasn't room between the cross-town horse and tho plitform of the 4th avenue car for even the alert John Willuam to pass, und it seemed as if the dog must be inevitably crushed. John William, however. regarded it otherwise. He seemed to know that his on}; chance lay in breaking his chain. Soby a qui bound tothe furthest wide of the cross-town horse he brought the whole strain upon th chin across the horse's chest, and, sniy his bonds like a string, he trotted 4th avenue after his master. “Well, now, ain't hea dog,” ojaculated the conduetor admiringly. ‘There ain't bis beat in Now York,” re- sponded his owner P emg Ot course, there's other dogs here and there,” he added asa concession, ‘but they simply ain't in it with Jobn William. I wouldn's ‘take $75 cash for dog” “Reckon he's worth it,” snid the conductor. ‘There was another man on the platform. He looked Johu William over crit in silence, and two blocks furthor on he suid: “I'll give you #10 for your dog.” “Mean it?” aaked John William's owner anx- aro nly.” “Of course.” THE SEVENTH WEEK.

In accordance with un advertisement the Commissioners heard those persons interested in House bill 789, to authorize the construction of the Washington and Benning railroad, today in the board room. Mr. J. H. McGowan, representing the in- corporators of the bill, stated the advantages to bo guined by the construction of the road, which begins at the District boundary running west along the Benning road to Florida wenue and from there along 2d. street east to Maryland avenuc along 2d street southward to strike the Washing- ton and Georgetown railroad at the junction of 2d street and Pennsylvania avenue. A branch road runs from the Benning road northward pastzthe race track. A similar bill was favorably reported by the Commissioners at tho Inst session of Congress and placed opon thy calendar, but was never reached. Mr, M. I. Weller, representing the East Washington Citizens’ Association, objected to the bill. He first called attention to the absence of the time clause in the Lill which stipulated the time for the commenceincnt and completion of the road. If other than horse power is used along Beuning road he thought the company shouk be re- quired to buy the right of way. That | road is only 25 feet wide proper. Ho objected strongly to the use of 2d sircet, or any part of it, for railroad purposes. There was, he said, no necessity at this time for a railroad along any street west of 7th street. ‘The hearing then concluded.

Kendall. ‘The lowest bidder for repressed brick was McMuhon, Porter & Co., whose figures were $17.93 per thousand. ‘Te lowest bia for ordi- nary brick was the American Fire Clay Co., $17.72 per thousand. ‘The contracts will be awarded the carly part of the week. —————— AN ENGLISH GHOST STORY. A Strange Tale of a Spectral Funeral Cor- tege at Knotty Ash, From the Philadelphia Item. I was proceeding leisurely on foot to Broad- green, when, on passing the church at Knotty Ash, my attention was suddenly arrested by the strange and uncanny appearance of its grave- yard. The time was, then shortly after mid- night. The whole burying ground seemed alive and glistening with a thousand small bluish lights, which appeared to creep in aud out of the different graves, as if the departed spirits were taking a midnightramble. I stood petrified, not knowing what to make of it, at the same timo experiencing a feeling of horror which suddenly took possession of me. Just at this moment the moon, which had hitherto been more or less obscured by a moy- ing panorama of passing clouds, came, as it would seem, to my assistance, giving me for a very short time the benefit of her companion- shin. And now appeared the most startling plcnomenon of all, aphenomenon which caused my hair to stand on end with fright, a cold numbness of horror paralyzing me in every limb, for, advanemg up the road directly op- | posite to me, came a funeral train, the coffin | borne along with measured tread, covered with an immense black pall, which fluttered up in ‘the midnight wind. At first [ thought I must surely be dreaming, and therefore pinched myself inthe arm to as: certain if this were really the case. But no, I certainly was not, for I distinctly felt the nip, and was therefore satisfied as tomy wakeialness., What could it ail meen? Iasked myself as the cortege gradually approached me, and 1 began to distinguieh the general outlines of the bear- ers. ‘There appeared to be elderly men aud to have lived ina bygone age. All were dresecd in the costume of the latter part of the eigh- teenth century. ‘They wore ‘tic-wigs, and some had swords as well as walking sticks mounted with death's | heads. observed ouly one really young man among the crowd of followers, walking just be- hind the cofiin. His youth, in comparison with the others, perhaps made me take expecial no- tice of him. He wus drewed in what appeared to be black velvet, the whiteness of his rufies standing out in marked contrast to the somber nature of his general attire, He carried a sword, had diamond buckles in his shoes, and wore his powdered hair ina queue. The fac of this young man was deathiy pule, as were also the faces of ‘all the others accompanying a. Instead of the procession advancing to the gate at which,1 stood it turned suddenly and entered the birial ground by the one situeted at a few yards’ distance. As the coftin was borne through this gate all the blue spirit lights seemed to rise from the graves, as if to moet the cortego for the wurpose of eacc the body to its last resting place; these lights added considerably to the ghastliness of the scene as they floated over the coffin and heads of the mourners. Slowly the procession glided up the pathway, passing the ruin en- trance of the church and continuing its way in a siraight line, finally dappearing at the back of the edifice. Where this most ext funeral went to or what became of it I cannot tell, but this much I distinetly aver, that coffin, mourners | andlights—even the pale, flickering mooulight— | all disappeared as mysteriously as they came leaving me standing in the darkuess transfixed with astonishmentand fright. Upon gathering together my somewhat scattered senses I took to my heels aud never stopped running until I found myself safe in my own house. In fact I can scarcely remember how I got home. After recovering a little from tie shock I im- mediutely aroused female relative, who had retired for the night, and related to ber the above particulars. She assured me that I must have been suffering from mental hal- Tucination, but seeing the great perturbation of my mind, and at the same time knowing m: vatural skepticism with regard to all supernatural phenomens, she cane to the clusion, that after ail 2 een what has begn described above. ‘The next day made inquiries at borhood of Knotty Ash oid woman that in & ge sii i ~| i ! a L THE PRESIDENT BUSY.

BLAINE SOMEWHAT INDISTOSED— 4 BRIE INTERVIEW WITH SEXOR MONTT—AN UNCONFIRMED RUMOR OF AN APOLOGY. The President denied himself to all visitors today and worked on the Chilean correspond- ence, preparing his message to Congress in the Privacy of one of the inner rooms of the upper floor of the White House. Monday, though designated as the President’ day of comparative isolation, usually finds quite a number of callersat the house, but today ‘even theve were denied admission.

Remey, the naval judgeadvocate general, whe bas been conducting the investigation the Baltimore case at San Francisco, is ex- | Rected to return to the city tomorrow or ‘ednesday with the Inst portions of the testi- mony that was taken. Itis not deemed advisable to leave the bar- bor of Valparaiso without any American veseel, as im case of a endden rup-| ture " between the two countries it | would be necessary to put the minister and consuls on board such a vessel and bring them home. Hence it is proxumed that orders will be sent to the Boston, Capt. Phillipsyat Callao,to hasicn the repairs on his ship and go at once to Valparaiso to stand guard over the American interests there while the Yorktown jande the refugees. REPLY To COMMANDER EVANS.
