The trial of Charles McCarthy.charged with' stealing a diamond from Samuel Usher, is now on in the district court. There was considerable trouble in secure ing a jury and the regular panel and twenty extras had to be exhausted before twelve men satisfactory to all psr ties could be found. The jury was agreed upon about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and after the lawyers consumed about an hour in stat ing the case Mr.

Usher wsb put out on the stand as the first witness. He re lated in detail his experience while in the city, the night the diamond was taken from his shirt front, and made a strong showing against McCarthy, He was subject to a severe cross examination but his testimony remained unshaken.

"Talking of fatalities," said the raconteur of the club, "if you will go back to the '70's I will tell you of a curious incident that happened, in which the number thirteen had a prominent part. It was thought nothing of at the time, but long afterwards those who were witnesses of tht event recalled it as a singular coincidence, to say the least. for rny part, admit that I am superstitious, and regard trifles light as air in the way of confirmations strong." "Story, story! com manded the presi dent of the cluo. "Story? God bless you, I have none to give you," said the reconteur; "it was more than a story for tragedies followed in its wake. You remember the yacht Cora, which vas owned by a genial Detroit man, no longer with us.

lfle cora liaa camea many a merry party safely on a voyage of pleasure, and it is to one of those joyons occa sions I am about to refer. There was a party going for an afternoon sail in the summer of '74 a jolly party of prominent citizens, their wives and several gnests, among whom were two ladies, the wives of soldiers Mrs. Gen. Custer and Mrs. Custer Calhoun, wife and sister of Gen.

George A. Custer, who was then fighting Indians in the northwest. ii was just Deiore tne cora was starting from her dock at Grosse He on her way np the river with her laughing, happy crowd of pleasure-seekers, that the party noticed a number of small, black objects fluttering about in the water: The attention of their host, the owner of the boat, was called to them, and he made the discovery that they were quails, part of a covey of birds' that, in trying to cross from one marsh to another, had lost their bearings, became frightened and were now fluttering in the water. All went to the rescue with buckets, hats and anything else that came handy, the birds were caught, landed on the deck, and turned over to the cook with orders that they be served up for supper. Old Billy, the cook, was somewhat troubled about the birds, and he called his employer into the galley.

"Yoh seen dem birds, Mr. "A es, Billy." "Yoh done count 'em, "No, I didn't count them." "Don't hab 'em cooked, sah," said old Billy earnestly. done count em, and dere's je.st thirteen." His employer laughed heartily as he said: I'm afraid you'll feel worse, Billy, old fellow. There are just thirteen in the company. That means one quail for each guest.

There won't be even the bones of one left for you, old "Iiordy," said Billy, rolling hia eyes, I jest wouldn eat one foh de hull universe no, sah." But the birds vere deliciouslv cooked, served in fine style, and eaten with many jest concerning their fatal number, while the fortunate thirteen speculated as to what the conrte of events would have been had there been one less or onemore. In all that gay company there was no thought of cominsr trouble, and it would have excited a laugh of derision toh ave predicted the maledictions of fate. Yet in a few years five of those happy wives were desolate 'widows; two of them through the tragedy of the battle of the Little Bisr Horn. while tbe genial host met the closing tragedy of his life in the waters that had so often been his sport and pleasure." I remember the- casualty to which you reter, said the president; "but yortr number thirteen is the merest coincident in the event." "That is what I called it," said the raconteur, "but you must admit that sometimes coincidences are Queer Detroit Free Press. ALL ALONG THE LINE.
