22st Day--Judge Hughes Presiding. The trial of Charles Durbin on the barge of murder was commenced in ircuit court Tuesday. On Monday tie defendant through his attorneys moved for a continuance. The motion ms supported by an affidavit sworn by Durbin in which it was alleged iiat medical experts who had been elied upon to testify in behalf of the caused with reference to the condi- ion of bodies remaining in the water or considerable periods, were absent, vnd that they could not be brought lore to testify at tho present term of ourt. Dnrbiu's child disappeared March 7,1885.

The body which was taken from the river was found March 28. Its condition at the time was found is told of in the testi- nony given by Dr. C. Chenowethand Jr. Hprsha.

The defense expected prove by the medical experts that body could not have been that of LHirbin's child, because had it been, ts condition after remaining in the water from March 7 to March 28 would have differed from that described by Drs.

AND MBS. ELMKB E. MILLER wore surprised at their home on South Mttiu street Tuesday evening. There were about ten couples. They brought provisions and a fine supper wns served.

Those from a distance were Misses Minnie Olark, of Spring- iiolJ, aud Lelah Van Lue, of Clinton. The notion was argued for the defendant by W. C. Johns and Mr. Ashcraft, an attorney from Vnn- dalia, and it was resisted by State's Attorney Vail and Mr.

Mills, who is assisting to prosecute the case. When the arguments were concluded. Judge Hughes promptly overruled the motion, and tho work of selecting the jury was commenced. Durbin appeared in court attended by his mother and other relatives from Vandal hi. For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the case the following brief statement will be of interest.

Durbin seduced a girl named Emily Dunn. They resided near Vandalia. In the fall of 'Sit tho girl came to Decatur and obtained work a domestic. Durbin ciine to De'catnr in the spring of 1885. As a result of her intimacy with Durbin the woman gave birth to a child, a female, nuon ufter the birth of the child woman obtained work iu of Solomon Shiveley.

On the eveuiug of March 7 Durbin called at ShivoTey's house, and he and the woman went away together taking the child with them. When the woman returned to Shiye- ley's house late that night the child was not with her. When questioned she stated that she had given the child to a lady and gentleman at the depot who were going to California. Ou March 28th, the body of a female child was found on the river bank near the I. C.

railroad bridge. At the inquest Mrs. Shively and others iden- titied the baby as thnt of Emily Dunn's missing child. Durbin tosti- ded ut the inquest, relating a story similar to that told by Emily Dunn to Mrs. Shiveley.

Meanwhile on the lu'th of March Durbin hud married Mits Dunn, and when she was called to testify at the inquest she refused to say anything. Later, however, she was induced to talk, and something like the real facts in the case were obtained from her, ft appears thatDur- had- promised to marry her if she would give up tho child. When he called at Shiveley's on the evening of March 7, and told her that he had found a homo for it, she consented to let him have it. After leaving Mr. Shiveley's he led hw by circuitoiw route lo a place near the 1.

C.railroad jridge. Telling her that the family with whom he was to leave the child resided near by, he took the child 'rorn its mother's arms and started the railroad track leaving her alone in the darkness. Upon his return he significantly remarked that the child could never bother them again. The grand-jury at the May term of court indicted Durbin for murder principally 011 the woman's story. She was not indicted.

TIIEHE is some serious talk of forming a company to bore for natural gas. It is understood that a contractor will undertake the task with the positive guarantee that he will reach a perma- mmt tlow of gas or receive no pay.

II snch a thing should prove true, it would be a good plan to undertake tbo boring for natural gas. A permanent tlow of such gas would bring more manufactories to the city than tmy other single cause. lEWSPAPERr MAJEUUED.

The prices for some of the stock was low, considering the high breeding, but is probable that more would have been offered if it had not been for the fact that the animals were not in good shape. It had not been the intention to bold the sale until recently, and there was not time sufficient to get the horses in good condition. A dinner was spread at the Powers homestead for all buyers from a dis tance.

Misses Carrie Powers, Hattie Jones, Belle Ewiug and Nellie Dur- foe did the honors at the table. The sule began at about 1 o'clock and was concluded at 3:30, Captain Kidd proving a speedy, as well as a gentlemanly, efficient and well posted auctioneer.

In a snit in the state circuit court at Evansvillo, Vickery merchants, sought to compel the telephone company to furnish them the use of two telephones upon the firm complying with the usual terms and regulations. Judge Parrett held that Ihe telephone company is bound by he statute to furnish telephone service to all applicants, who comply with its terms uud regulations, be- a common carrier of news or ia- selligence, as well as a quasi-public corporation. While patents and new inventions may be rightfully and sacredly protected, yet when voluntarily placed in the channels of general commerce they nmst be so used as not to give partiality or discrimination in favor of, or against, any person or class of persons.

In this case no previous quarrel or wrong would relieve either party under this decision. The telephone company will have to cay, unless relieved by'the Snpi'eme'court, penalty for each refusal to furnish telephone service to plaintiffs. The latter have made nearly a dozen applications for two telephones, and upon refusal, have sued for the penalties, amounting to $200 in each case. Incidentally, though not strictly involved in the case, Judge Parrett gives his opinion that another state statute limiting the charge for the use of telephones to $3 each or for two, is constitutional, and that the word telephone includes all the appliances necessary to communicate between different points according to the usage of the system. Bigr Buildinga tor next year.

The final papers for the transfer of the 40 foot lot on North Water street from Mrs. Eachael Gallagher to Decatur Lodge No. O. O. were used Tuesday.

The price was The deed fr Peter Loeb for one half of his south wall was also passed. By its terms the lodge is bound to build during the year 1886 a building or buildings equally as substantial and of as good appearance as Mr. Loeb's block. Mrs. agher is to construct a similar building south of the new Odd Fellows temple, and all the work is to be completed next year.

It is said that OJeor Hiser will also build on his lot, joining that of Mrs. Gallagher, so that there will remain only two twenty foot lots north of the Methodist church which will not be built upon next year. Want of Prosecution. Wm. Six, 3f Ar- with stealing $12 from Dismissed for The case aj genta, charged Miss Millie Allen, who recently visit ed there, was dismissed Tuesday for want of prosecution.

The preliminary trial was set for 11 a. and W. H. WikolY, Wm. Griffin, David Beaman, Heniy Tuley and Augustus Eeeser came down to testify as witnesses.

But the prosecuting witness, Miss Allen, hid gone to her home in ndiana. The case was therefore dismissed by Justice Curtis for want of Tosecution, THE DUBBIN MURDER CASE A Jury Chosen--the Opening: Speeches Made--Examination of Witnesses Begun. A jury to sit in judgment on Chas. Durbin, the alleged Tjaby murderer, was at last secured Thursday forenoon. The names of the jurors are as follows: D.

E. Yates, of Decatur. Truman Crissey, of Decatnr. Jerome Gulp, of Illini. Thomas Wright, of Niantic.

E. Hoffman, of Niautio. Harry K. Medkiff, of Boody. Samuel W.

Bradshaw, of Harristown. Marcellns Alexander, of Macon. Charles E. Bobb, of Decitur. A.

Howland, of Blue Mound. S. W. Grider, of Niantic. John L.

Connelly, of Illini. Each juror has declared that he should have no scruples of conscience igainst inflicting the death penalty, the evidence, even if circumstmi- )ial, should convince him, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant was guilty. City Attorney Mills, who has been retained by States Attorney Vail, to assist him in the prosecution bf the defendant, made the opening speech in behalf ot the people. Ho detailed the fants as to the finding of the body, and told of the subsequent arrest of Durbin and his wife, and of the facts bearing upon Durbin'a guilt elicited at the corroner's inquest. The State, he said, would not rely upon circumstantial evidence alone, to fasten the crime upon Durbin, but would introduce a witness who was all but an eye witness to the murder of the babe.

This witness, it is said, was on the bridge on the night the babe disappeared, and saw Durbin there, and heard a scream as Durbin threw an object off the bridge into the water. The statement made by Mr. Mills, relative to this witness, was somewhat startling to the defendant and his friends. Mr. Mills concluded his speech just before thenoon adjournment.

Mr. Ashcraft made the opening speech in behalf of the defendant. Four witnesses were examined yesterday afternoon. Myers Collins, and Jones, the boys whc found the body of the infant, testified as to where and when they found it its condition when found, and the condition of the ground about the place where it lay. Col.

E. W. Anderson, who acted as clerk, at the coro ner's inquest, identified the notes 01 the evidence made by him on that oc oasion, and also identified Durbin's Serious Accident. Mrs. K.

W. Conn and Mrs. May iendereon, of Mt Zion, were driving a young horse from Decatnr to that illage on Tuesday afternoon. Be- ond the Maffit bridge the animal be- ame frightened at a log on the grade nd wheeled about immediately overurnins: the buggy and hurling ft down the embankment The two adies were thrown out, and Mrs, 3onn sustained a severe injury in the ack while Mrs. Henderson was bad- bruised.

The buggy was almost a wreck, and the horse became en- angled in it and was held fast, lying on the ground. The ladies ware liscovered shortly after the accident iy Wm. Shroll who was driving eastward. He assisted them to a resting lace, and then rescued the horse. farmers came along then, and greed to take the injured ladies to heir home in Mt.

The name the important witness, whose evi dence is expected to pvore so dangerous to the case of the defendant, coulc not be learned. The witness is known to the defense, but Mr. Johns was a persistent in refusing to reveal his identity, as was Mr. Vail. It is re ported that the defense will endeavoi to impeach the testimony of Solomon Shiveley, one of the most importan witnesses for the State.

Durbin ani his wife lived at Shively's house, aftei their marriage, and Mrs. Durbin wa working as a domestic in Shively' family, when the babe disappeared She made disclosures to both Mr au Mrs. Saivsly, which are very damg- ing to the defendant. It is expected that the defense will introduce expert testimony, in an endeavor to show that if the condition of the remains, when found, was such as described by Drs. Coenoweth and Harsha, tbe babe coutd not have died on the 7th of March.
