Chicago, March 1.—Roy Cunningham of Belvidere, Iil,, s the only farmer on the Standard Ofi retrial jury which was completed in United Statos District Judge Anderson’s court today. The preponderance of agriculturists on the first panel of veniremen caused the dismissal at the request of the defens Attorney John S, Miller vividly re- membering that it was a farmers’ jury which made possible Judge Landis' fine of $29,240,000. Mr. Cunningham's companions in the jury box include five_grocers, a mechanic and a live- stock dealer. : The opening statements of counsel will be made tomorrow. As the wit- nesses and evidence will be about the same as in the original hearing, and the points at issue have heen sharply defined, ff is hoped to conclude the case in a fortnight.

In the city court on Monday there in ision in Fraud was S0 much business that there were two_sessions, the entire morning be- ing occupied with four cases, while the afternoon was occupied with the fraud case. The continued case against John arberry, Louis Smith and John Shu- srue was called and a girl testified to seeing Carberry on the night of Feb- ruary 7 at the junetion of High and Thames street, at between 9 and 9.20 o'clock. John Carberry and Chief Murphy were calied. The young men were charged with assaulting a man in Summit street. Carverry was sen tenced to thirty days in jail and the other two discharged. An appeal was taken, Attorney Shields stated that Eugene MeCarty mads no claim on the liquor seized at Mr. McCarty's house and they were ordered destroyed. As the result of the christening par- ty in Greeneville Sunday night the sum of $235 was paid into the eity court Monday morning, W. Vesteskoh, who did the cutting, was fined $35 and costs, and paid $45.84, while the man at whose house the christening was held paid $28.56, while others aver- aged about $20 each. In the afternoon, on the charge of gbusing his famlly, Thomas H, De- laney had his case continued under $100 bonds. S. Johnson and T. Nyarcos were then presented, charged with fraud. The, are cousins, and are charged by T. Comenos with getting $15 from him for getting him a job in the bleachery, May 20th, The accused denied the entire affair but Comenos said he got the job. Later, inasmuch as Ny- arcos had told the boss he (Comenos) ‘a8 going to Chicago he was about to e paid off, but he commenced to cry at the idea of getting through and was allowed to stay. Nyarcos said he got Comenos the job out of charity, as the latter had asked his cousin for a job. Nyarcos sald he had secured jobs for several, Attorney Thomas Shields, who as- gisted City Attorney Hall, claimed that the fact that Nyarcos had planned to have Comenos dropped showed his guilt, while Attorney Pettis for the de- fendant said there is a civil suit be- tween these perties, Comenos being sued for money borrowed, and until that is decided Judge Brown withheld his decision, until Saturday, as he did not want to influence the civil case. Ronds were fixed at $50 esch. ‘Court adjourned 4.40 o'clock. Watcnorn Nominated.

The crowd was let In in batches of about 200 at a time, and when they had concluded their buying they departed by the rear cellar door, ‘where Policeman Con Murphy was on guard to see that no one came in that way, although many tried. Many wild stories were afloat during the day of women taken out of the (mh 5 n:l::l broken arms n‘hml ed to e , or arms cut by being jam- med into the plate glas windows, but the worst that happened was to have averal women faint In the jam, either before or after getting into the store.

This happened with the first batch uof women in, who made g bee-line for the linen underwear department on the second floor. A reinforcement of clerks bad to be sent there to take care of the frantic women, who all wanted to buy at once. Some men were valorous enough to get into the crush and reach the counters, where they secured the bar- gains they were afte, jong them ‘were many of the foreign idents of the city, Who were grasping the op- portunity to get things cheap. The sale goes on on this same plan toda; CONNECTICUT CORD IRON CORPORATION. Annual Meeting Held- and Seven Por Cent. Dividend Declared—Factory May Be Brought Here.
