TATrmrt thk stabch OUT. A WABHQrO XX CU8T03U qSCI.M. In the regular report yesterday of Incidents at tha Chicago Custom House The Isteb OcsaX reprPeeenUUve banded la tna following paragraph: The seizure of the 40.O0O pounds of potato starch, which la claimed by the Importer, I. a. Davlea, to am nothing but finely-ground farina used for confectionery, eta.

Is still the subject of talk in the Custom House. Mr. Davlea' first Importation of tbe staff was seised, but was afterwards returned to btm.be beating the collector in a auit The eotzing offloers here and those In New York claim that tbey are right aa to tbe character of the article and that it is subject to a dnty of 2 cents per pound. The importer, who is very anxious to obtain tbe stock, otters to pay the duties and refer the matter to tbe Treasury Department. Some of the officers are of tbe opinion that no duties should be accented, bat tna import should be condemned as saae of fraudulent entry.

In this an attempt might be made to recover on other invoices of tbe same stock tbat hsva been passed. The matter has been referred to the-department, and yesterday Collector nee-' berger received a dispatch Instructing him to refer the matter to the Distriot attorney to look Into the case. As a result there was a lone conference in tbe afternoon between Messrs. See-U bergvz. Hitt, Ham.

Crowley, Tuthill, and Dawes. Tbe matter will ba decided upon to-day. Colonel TuthUl making his report to Mr. Seeberger. It is Intimated from an excellent source that Colonel Tuthill will advise that the duty be accepted on the ground that there la nothing to show fraudulent intent, farina and potato starch being verv similar.

The paragraph quoted looks simple enough, but the facts to which it alludes created something of a aensation at the Custom House, as might be Inferred from the allusion to the secret meeting of Collector Seeberger end his conflden-tial subordinates. Late in the afternoon yesterday a report went flying around that somebody's bead was to be amputated. Various explanations were obtained, bn; the most reasonable appears to be this: In- tn lin. ar4 mmnt pm.ii, lh. ft MU T-f a Washington Saturday last to seize the Davlea invoice.

After tbe receipt by Mr. Crowley of instructions to seize the atnff. he found it necessary tit secure certain papers relating to the case from Mr. Jewell, chief entry clerk. He was thus com-I died to impart the secret of the seizure about to ix made to Mr.

Jewell. Shortly afterward, so tbe story runs. He Georve Sheldon, the Custom House broker, wbo has a desk in tbe office over which 11 r. Jewell presides, entered the office of Mr. Crow'er" and Insisted that no seizure should be mcoi Mr.

Crowley, it is said. Immediately charged treachery on the part of a fellow official. It la said farther that be was more than indignant, in fact that be was mad, and that he tm- mediately reported the situation to Sir. bee-beger. This would account for the secret meeting.

Another rumor waa stubbing its toes against the looee tiling of tha Custom House floor. This latter was to the effect that a very clear exhibit will be made in connection with the present seizure of the methods employed by our alleged "ring" of government officials and others some eighteen months ago, to relieve Mr. Da vies of paying duties, which he has been free from for over a year. At any rate there is a stir at the Custom House which will not ba quieted for many daya. TUB Ja.UJHJB.UUTH BAN it.

ECBBABD IMPLICATES THK BASK OFRCLiXa. Tha trial of BenJ. T. O. Hubbard, Cashier of tha First National Bank of Monmouth, for making fraudulent retuma of tha condition of tha bank to tha Comptroller of the Currency was resumed before Judge Blodgett in the United States Distriot Court yesterday.

His counsel stated In a long address to the Court that be pro- rim rl sn ihiva thsfr TTnhhAV1 wma una 1 tsurmi to blame for tha deficiencies: that tbe loose con dnct was due to soma of its directors and its then President, David Rankin; that the directors were themselves to blame, tbey having given overdrafts of large amounts and otherwise violated the National law. He oontended that Hubbard never spent any of the money of the and all be did waa at the instigation of the directors and Rankin, Hubbard being merely their atoot-pigeon. Hubbard was then placed on the stand, which Ba OMnnlfld all dtr. Ha denied that ba had aver neglected to credit the bank with the amount of tbe different drafts offered in evidence. He ex plained in regard to the various drafts Issued payable to Bevmour, Hunt at Co.

why tho stubs showed tbe check bad been made out In the names of other parties, that he had understood that one of the directors was a speculator and had issued a draft improperly, and that the false stub system bad been adopted to stop this work. Mo loss had ever happened to the bank by tbe use of the different naniea lluouard always aept ota own money separate from that of the bank. Thinga were run ro loosely that tbe Comptroller of the Currency wrote Hubbard a letter July 9. 1 883, in which be blamed the directors for their unlawful abuae of tbe banking regulations. Tbe Comptroller stated that he found from the port of the bank examiner that President Lnnkln had made notes wbtch were held by differ eut banks and indorsed by Hubbard for tMOi also, that there were notea made by Dl-lector Uruon for $20,000 in the same manner.

JtanKiu waa said to have overdrawn thai ibis must be stopped or tbe bank would be expelled from the National Association. Hnb-. bard alao swore that Kankin and Brnen were In the habit of raising money in this way, ha al-waya indorsing their notes and disposing of their accommodations bv renewala. On an count of an objection by the National Park Bank of New York. (Kankin and Bruen got np a resolution purporting to have been paaaed by tha Board of Directors authorizing Hubbard to sign the bank's name to Baukin's note for $25,000 and Bruen 's for $15,000.

The other directors were cognizant of all these matters. Hubbard alto showed how be bad deceived tbe bank examiners by entering false credits. The oroee- examination of Hubbard will be resumed to-oay. DIPHTHESIA. DK.

He gave as remedial agents water, tincture of aconite root, tincture of belladonna, deodorized tinctures of opium, chlorate of potasssium, calomel, and soda bicarbonate, lie urged tbe calling ot a physician Immediately uiwu nvuuuR uw nut irmpwnu ot ujpnineria, that the doctor might thereby be able to effect a cure In all eases coming early under observation, just as uniformly and aa certainly as he could oontrol an ordinary intermittent fever with qui-aiine.

Don't ponitiw, steam, or blister tbe neck. Don't gargle; don't swab; don't cauterize; don't disinfect. Don't say a word about nutrition, aud don't fail to nrge water drinking. The "wbens" ba arranged as follows: "When tbe patient has a very slow, irregular, or a very fast pules withhold all nitrogenous food and think of the kidneys.

Mooemp-Puairnwr Contest. Farther testimony was taken yesterday Is tbe Monear-Doerner election contest in regard to alleged illegal registration and voting.

The evidenoa of various 'witnesses tended to show that Joaeph Levy registered from No. 229 West Twentieth street; Joseph Irgtn, from No. 253 West Twentieth street; Peter Kessler, from No. 2 Nutt street, and P. T.

Hennehan. from No. 260 Johnson street, were not residents at those numbers, and if they voted aa they were registered they voted illegally. The bearing will be continued this morning. MXTBDEB," TRIALS.

Jasper K. Sweet la the Dock. Jasper E. Sweet, charged with the murder of Dr. Thomas Wsagh, was arraigned In tha Criminal Court before Jndge Sheoard yesterday morning.

Even from the opening of the court at 10 o'clock the room was crowded, snd so remained during the an tire day, although there was nothing but the dreary examination of Jurors to amuse the waiting throng. The prisoner, who is in nowise remarkable In appearance, either in face, figure, or dress, preserved a calm and placid demeanor, rather inclining to careless indifference of the quiet kind throughout all tbe pro-oeedlnas. The crime wtth which be is charged was the result of the alleged intimacy of Dr. Wansh with his wife, while tbe latter waa his eatlent. Learning of thla Intimacy, as he says, peeping through the keyhole of the Doctor's office, the enraged man, being unable to open tbe door, bided bis time, and meeting him ontbe street on the evening of Saturday, Sept.

12. shot him In the back. Tbe wounded man lingered until BepU 27, when be expired. Sweet surrendered himself, but was discharged daring the session ot the next Grand Jury, tbat body refusing to find a true bill against him after voting several times on the case, Tbe Grand Jury next ensuing, however, found a true bill. Meanwhile Sweet left toe city, and for a time no one knew whither he bad gone.

Finally he was arrested in Kentucky and brought back to Chicago. Tbe trial promisee to be a bard fought one. State's Attorney Ortnnell and ex-State's Attorney Mills appearing for the people, and Mr. Nathaniel Sears, a hard-working, careful, and painstaking lawyer, but not specially distinguished In criminal practice, appearing for tbe defense. A large number of tne panel ot jurors, including more than half of those called, were excused for cauae on tbe ground of their mind being already made up as to the merits of the case.

One or two were excused because tbey did not believe ia capital punishment, while a till others were exenaed beoanee tbey knew too much ot the ease, and one man, a retail dry goods dealer, waa excused because be could neither read nor write, though be has lived in this enlightened metropolis of the West for over fourteen years. The consequence was tbat when the court adjourned at o'clock only four Jurors had been sworn In, namely, N. E. Roberts, baggage-master on tha Illinois Central Railroad; Carl B. Beardalny, a runner for Shufeidt's distillery, residing at No, 265 Lincoln avenue; P.

D. Stretch, and employe of Oeorge K. Cole, and H. Newberg, aa employe of the Bliss Sirup House, living at No. 284 North State street.

Theodore Conkllng, the keeper ot a saloon In the Albany flats on North Clark street, and Charles A. Weaver, a oom mission man at No, 129 South Water street; were also agreed noon, bat are liable to be peremptorily challenged to-day, as tbey have not yet been sworn in. Trial of a Parricide. Charles McCarthy, a young man. waa placed on trial before Judge Williamson on the charge ot murdering his father.

The alleged facta in the case, in brief, are as follows: On Sunday morning. Sept. 27, tbe accused returned to his home, after spending the night partly at a dance and partly in a drunken debauch, and commenced abusing his brother. He was threatened with being put out ot the boose if he did not behave. Before this he went to his room, got a pistol, returned to his brother and father, aud was about to shoot his brother, when the father got between tbem and was shot.

Only foot jurors were agreed upon and sworn in at tne time ox the ad journment of tbe court at 6 clock last evening. Assistant states Attorney walker appears lor the people and Mr. Daniel Douonue for tho da- lenso. OH "CHANOB. Change of Honrs Wanted.

The directors of the Open Board of Trade will this afternoon consider. the petition which is be fore them, signed by large part of their mem bership, asking that the hours of trading be changed so as to make the Open Board session begin halt an hour earlier each morning and close half an hour later each afternoon. The causa for this movement lies in the fact tbat the quotations are not received from the regular board with any thing approaching promptness, and this fact en ablea a few member a to make trades to the die advantage of the many. The commercial ticker supplies the quotations to offices and other places In advance of the regular board tickers. If the quotations could be received direct, either by wire or telephone, the evil might be remedied, but as it la it works to tbe detriment of the Open xtoaro, mere is a possibility that tne directors will change the hours to meet the dlmculty.

The wrong-doing in Wernlck thus offering bimseif as ball for the wicked Eden consists in ths fact that a bond on which he sppears aa surety in another ease baa been already de clared forfeited, an4 consequently be can not show a dear record ef bis estate, a thing which ne naa to swear to Dtfore oe can become entitled even to offer himself as bail in another case, being still much lees espable of aweariag to a dear estate un denied by tie claims ot too law.
