Ciol itosz was placed on trial yesterday morn ing, ihiiicisl with the murder of Presi dent Willinli MeKinley. He eiiteiril n plea of "guilty," which was subsciiiifiitl) changed to "not guilty" by direction id the court. All the events of the day tended to In dicate that the trial will he short. Then was not a suspicion of a quibble ovci nuy question whatever mid counsel for IhmIi sides seemed to he in perfect har mony. Court convened nt 10 o'clock, and the work of prisnring jurors went on rapidly. Before two hours luid elapsed rltlit had bou sccfircd, nud this in itself was an unpris-edcnted record ' in any murder trial in the State. Technicalities were not raised, but it Has noticeable that every man who acknowledged that he hail not formed an opinion on the case was cvnsed by the 1 listrict At torney. Men w ho had formed nil opinion or slated that they were piejinliepil. but were willing to acknowledge that their opinion could be changed by evidence were ncoopled by liotli sides. Justice Truman C. White, one of the oldest and most experienced of the Su premo Court judges, was on the Is-ncti. Immediately after the opening of I lie court, and nftor the prisoner had pleaihil. Justice I.nrnn I,. Lewis, senior counsel for the def.Midnnt, arose and announced that together Willi his colleague, former Justice Robert C. Titus, and Mr. Carl ton K. Lndd, tlu-y were ready to act in behalf of the prisoner. "I thought It host." he said, "for my colleagues and myself that I should say something regarding oar presence here as attorneys for the defendant. At the time lny mime was suggested I was nut of the city and know nothing of what was transpiring hen1 with reference to the selection of counsel for the defend ant. I was out of the city at the time I was assigned, ami when I returned and the circumstances of my seletioti were told to nip I wis extremely reluc tant to accept. Hut the duty had been imposed, and I considered it my duty. In all the circumstances to defend this man. "I nsk that no evidence bo presented here that the court will not permit the acceptance of any evidence unless it would Is- accepted at the trial of the most monger criuiinnl in the laud." "I am familiar with these circum stances," said Justice White In reply, "and I wish to sny that I will give you every nssurnuce that the prisoner will have a fair and impartial trial, and that during the progress of the trial he will receive such treatment as the law de mands in any criminal case." The work of sis uiiiig the jurors was then undertaken w ith a celerity that was amazing. Itefore the day was over the entire panel hml Ik'oii sworn and were seated in the box and had listened to a description of the Temple of Music, where the crime occurred, and wen photographs of the interior of Hint structure, and had la-en told by three surgeon what caused the dentil of the President and the result of the assassin's; shot upon the various organs of the body. They hail also leirncd why the fatal bul let has not Is-eii located. The jurymen w ho w ill sit on the trial nre as follows: Frederick X. I.aucr, plumber. Richard J. (inrwooil, builder. Henry W. Wondt. mniiufaeturer. Silas ('armor, fariu-r, Clarence. James S. Stygall, phunls-r. William Lotou, farmer, Eden. W alter E. Everett, blacksmith. Benjamin ('. Ralph, assistant cashier Third .National Hank. Samuel P. Waldow, farmer, Allien. Andrew J. Smith, Miter nud eggs. JiH'hlm II. Mortons, boot ami shoe dealer. Kols-rt J. Adams, contractor. Cotrrnmt-iit I'rf-srnts Its Case. The presentation of the tioveriiinent'a rnse began shortly before three o'cliH-k, when Asst. Hist. Atty. Ilaller began, with much dehls-rali to address the jury. His talk wns very brief, and t-on- si I scarcely live minutes. "We shall show," said he, "that for some days prior to the si ting this defendant hud premeditated the shooting of the Presi dent, lie knew that oil the tith of Scp-tcinU-r the President would receive the populace in the Temple of Music; that on that day he went to the Exposition, got into line with the people and ap proached the President; that he had a weapon oonecnlcd in his hnnd, nud as the President extended his hand in kindly greeting lie tired the futiil shot. "He bred two shots, in fact. One of tlii-ui tisik effect ill the abdomen and rnuscd that inoitnl wound which result ed in the President's death. That ill brief, is the story we shall show you. Witnesses will tell you this story, ami I am sure that when you have heard the evidence you will have no dilllculty lu reaching a verdict of murder in the ril-st degree." The lirst witness, Samuel J. Fields, thief engineer of the Pau-Auiericnn Ex position, described the ground floor plan of the Temple of Music, and was follow ed by Perry A. Bliss, a photographer, who presented views of the interior of Hie building. The balance of the afternoon was taken up with the testimony of throe physicians, two of whom had at tended the President during his last days, while the other performed t,e autopsy. The latter. Or. Harvey It. Cnylord, was the lirst of the trio to be called. He doserilH-d the lis ation of the wounds in the stomach ami the direction of the bullet. The cause of death he at tributed to the gunshot wound, but, fundamentally, ho said, it was due to the changes back of the stomach, in the pan creas, caused by the "breaking down" of the material of the pancreas as a result of the passage of the bullet. Hr. llerinnr Myntcr followed and his testimony was of importance, in as much aa it brought out the fact that the rea son why the ratal bullet had not been located nt the autopsy was because of tilt unwillingness of the President'! rela tives to have the Isidy further mutilated by their Instruments. Ir. Myntcr and Ir. Mann, who followed him, both testi fied that the primal cause of ilea III w in the gunshot wound in I lit stomach. One cfTn t of this woi.ud was, they said, to cause the gangrene 'o form in the pan-:-rcas. and the spot of poisoned tissue was as large as a silver dollar. The prisoner Czolgosx during the morn ing evinced no interest whatever ill the pns-i-edings. but as the testimony win introduced hi- paid more attention to w hat was saiil and looked at the various w-itnessos i loscly. The probable duration of the trial, it is believed, can be placed at two full days. When Kistrict Attorney Penney was askeil by Justice White at noon as to the time he would take In the presenta tion of his rase, he declared that he would conclude by Tuesday noon. Judge Titus, for the defense, was iion-coniinit-tnl, however, and merely replied "That fcpcmls upon the turn things take." It is not probable that any defense will be put in, owing to the character of the prisoner ami his refusal to aid his at torneys in nuy way to procure evidence which they could use in his favor. The Idea of nn attempt to enter the question of his sanity is not thought of in view of the reports of the two alienists who have scccntly exaini I him, nmf there is ground for the belief that the flial will be concluded with a session of but one day more.

Clinton ceased to be a town and swelled to the proportions of a great city, r'roin every city and hninlet in Ohio, from the remote corners of the south and from the east and west, the human tide flowed into the town until lIHI.IHMI people- were within its gates, hero to pay their last tribute to the fallen chief. 'The final scenes ir the l-'lrst Methodist church wi,ero the funeral service was held, nnd nt the beautiful West Lawn cenioteiy, whore the body was consigned to a vault, were simple and impressive.

Among the more favorable of the pure ly cot rcial or industrial features of the week have been the continuance of the good demand from jobbers, the heavy shipments of goods with which to till these demat-ils, the better call for goods at retail, induced by the arrival of cool fall weather, aud last, but not least, the settlement of tlie steel strike, which re stores at least "iil.tMNi men to their work. The unfavorable feature are f-n the most notable being the add - t io ar rival of heavy frosts in f - - af fecting, however, only t I ,i- planl-'d pri duet, as the crop in l a.iy sc. ,,i s 1 1 boon practically gathered : : toe : is italioti of cold weather.

Drygooda distribution in the west is still largo, ami cooler weather hits stim ulated diuiuml for clothing and shoes from jobbers. At the enst wool is less active, hut steady at former prices, while the inan vf.ieturers have plenty of orders aud are busy tilling them.

Mourning goods hflv been iu very active demand, and Fall Kitcr print mills have run night and day to li!l orders, which are elaimed to have materially reduced stocks of cloths.
