THE TRUNK LINE WAR.
NEW YORK, NOV. 22.—The Pout Philadelphia special says: For several days there have been rumors floating about Third street, the origin of which might be traced to New "York, to the effect that the trunk line war will be settled very soon. There was a story that a conference of officers had been held in Chicago and a committee of ar bitration appointed which had agreed upon a report. The rumor this mornin was that this committee would state their decision to-day and everything would be amicably arranged. A Pennsylvania railroad officer, in speaking of this ru raor, said the rumors were mere wall street chatter taken up by brokers There has^been no conference and no com mittee and there is not the least proba bilityof combined action on the part of the trunk lines. In fact, said he, no settlement is"required t'or matters are not such a bad skape after all, we are very well satisfied, with the present condition of things.

In the castt ot Carver above alluded to, the Supreme Court held that a cigar is a' necessity to one who has acquired the habit ot smokiug," and that the keeper of a hotel had a lawful right to sell cigars on Sunday to visitors and guests of his house, tinder that decision I must, therefore, hold that what is proper and lawful for A. to do on Sunday cannot be improper and unlawful if done by on the same day and under similar circumstances. If C, being a traveler, buys a cigar at a hotel, and thereby the law is not violated (and the Supreme Court says it is not) I fail to see how it can be violated if he buys a cigf.r from another dealer across the street. If a cigar is a necessity to one who has acquired the habit of smoking, and the Supreme Court says it is, it follows that the necessity is as great to the citizen athis home as it cau possibly be to one who happens to stop at a hotel. A cigar being a necessity, the right to supply that necessity cannot be conferred upon any one person or class of persons, out every authorized dealer in such article has the right to supply it. Auy otner construction of the law would tend to the creation of monopolies, and certainly it is the purpose of our laws to avoid anything of that kind. -1
THE M4D STONE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE: I Being informed^ that Mrs. Taylor of this city was in possession of a Mad Stone that is found to be very efficacious for the virus of rabid animals, a visit was paid the lady acd a small portion of the stone taken away lor examination. Through the courteous assistance of Proffeseor Kii F. Brown a cartful chemical analysis was made ana the result furtheT assured by the use of the microscope, revealing our first convictions that the wonderful Mad Stone was a very fine specimen of Brain Coral nothing more. Although the Mad Stone, so called, ie considered by many a myth .there is no doubt from its cell structure of its power to absorb poisonous virus, and we earnestly recommend the medical profession to test the -'Coral" in diseases incurred at the operating table as well as for the bites of rabid animals.

CIGARS ON THE SABBATH.
Mayor 6rubb's Cecision Concerning the Necessity of the Sunday Cigar.
From the Indianapolis Journal. Th-re were tlurty eases before the mayor yesterday—among them that of the S'.ate vs. John T. Woodward, charged with desecration of the Sabbath by selling cigars (he being a regular dealer), who was acquitted—the mayor justifying his conclusion with the following reason-
ing:
This is an action for the desecration ol the Sabbath, by the sale of a cigar on that day While I do not believe that a cigar is a necessity to any person, whe her he he a guest al a hotel or at home with his family, yet in view of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Carrers vs. the State, I am not disposed to change the ruling heretofore made by mc in a similar case against Otto Mueller.

Fiom Tuesday's Dally.
Fifty honest looking farmers from whom the jury to tiy Eleazer Gibson for the murder of William Hall on the 28th of May last is to be selected, occupied the space outside the railing in the Criminal court loom this morning. Gibson, accompanied by his counsel, U. S. Senator D. W. Voorhees and
John
E. Lamb,
camejn at fcru the two latter with 14.'J. Davis retired to an adjoining room for consultation. Judge Carlton appeared a few minutes later and joined nlB colleagues. Gibson's face was pale and bis cheeks sunken. His little boy was with him, and before the proceedings had fully begun his wife and two children entered ia took seats by his side.
Prooecuting Attorney Kelley, Judge McNutt, S. It. Hatarill and J. G. McNutt, attorneys for the prosecution, were early at their table. At 10 o'clock Judge Long said: "Ia the state ready to proceed with the case f' "I believe the state is readv," said Mr. Kelly. "We are expecting Mrs. Hall on the 10 o'clock train." "Is the defense ready J" asked the court.
Judge Carlton thought they were, but would first consult his colleaguesA few minutes latter the Prosecuting Attorney stated that both sides were ready to proceed that both, however, reserved the right to a continuance or poetponment until the witnesses of each could be produced.
The sheriff called twelve names from the venire and the jurors took their seats in the box in the order they were called. One man said he could not tell whether he had lormed an opinion. Levi Dickerson and John Case were excuseu because they had formed opinions. The defense peremptorily challenged Morgan Jcrret. Abraham Glick had formed an opinion, W. R. Litile had served on a jury within a year and Moses Winters and Peter Wjllhoit were peremptorily challenged. James Kelley and Jackson Cox had formed opinions. George F. Hampton didn't know anything about the case, but that did not save him for the defense peremptorily challenged him. Theron Sutliff said he had formed no opinion, and asked to b« excused because ot his defective hearing He was excused. Edward Greggs. Joseph Cusick and John Keagan were challenged in rapid succession. Cale Beam had formed an opinion and Henry D. Christy, who came after him, was not sure whether he had expressed an opinion or not and is challenged. John E Lamb announced that the defence would take the jury.
Judge McNutt, for the prosecution, excused John Littlejohn, .Nathan Simmons, Albert Genting, Samuel Col lister, Chas. I). Benight and John J. Ferrell because they had formed and expressed decided opinions about the case. Others were excused for various reason and several challenged At this point court adjourned uutil 3 o'clock M.
This afternoon Edward Johnson, Jacob Orth and Adriel Walker, who had form ed opinions, were excused. The special venire of 50 being exhausted, the state called for an additional veniie and it was so ordered. It was agreed among counsel that the number should be 25. The sheriff thought he could have them in court to-morrow morning, and the court adjourned until 9 A. M. to-morrow
A "CRANK?'
Singular Performances of a Young Man Saturday Night.,
fS k*
Saturday evening a young man stepped up to George Regiein, special policeman at the Atlantic Beer Garden, who was standing near the corner of Seventh and Main, and said: "Are you a policeman
The reply was in the affirmative. "I want to be arrested" faid the man "Will you arrest me?"
The young man was apparently about 21 years of age. He was comfortably drunk. "You are doing nothing" said the officer "what Bhall I arrest you for!" "I want to be arrested repeated the young man seriously "and if you don't do it I will get somebody who will. I'll smash a window and then you'll have to tike me in*"
41
"That's cool." "Yes, I want to make the old man— my father—pay a fine. If I can't eet even with him one way I can another.'
Just the'i Policeman McLean of the regular force came up, but passed along without arresting the young man. The latter appealed another time to Kegleln. "We'll see whether you'll arrest me said the young man as he made a dart for the gutter "and, picking up a brick, let it fly against a lamp post. The officer this time took hold ot the young man and walked up the street with him. He tried to persuade the young man to find some boarding honse and sleep off his drunk, but the latter was inflexible. At the corner of Fifth and Ohio the young man tried to get hold of another brick, and this convinced the officcrthathis prisoner was really in earnest. When they reached the door of the jail Regiein said: "You'll tack down before you're locked up." "I will g6 In alone'' replied the 'young man earnestly.
The prisoner gave his name as A. C. Burk. He said his father keeps a hotel in Knightsville, this state, and is wealthy and ttyat he turned him from home Saturday morning. He tried to persuade Regiein to make the charge against him read: "A- C. Bark, drank and disorderly and resisting an officer-"
The only charge made was the first This morning Mr. Regiein appeared be. fore the Mayor to testify in the case, but Burk pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $10.80,in default of which he
short time previous to his arrest and wanted to be locked up, but was hunted off a? a "crank.
