THE JOYCE LIBEL SUIT. It Was Called l.nle Yesterday mid Con tinued To-dny. Lato yesterday afternoon tlio trial of Thomas J. Joyce, editor of the Black Diamond, charged with liboling ox-Senator John J. Coylo, was oallcd for trial. District Attornoy Beoiitel, John F. Whalon, Win. A. Marr, W. J. Wliltcliouso and William Wll holm represent Coylo, while tho counsel for tlio defendant are Charles A. Snyder and BonJ. Oummlngs. Tho selection of a jury was as carefully conducted as if tho defend ant was being tried for murder. The suit was brought by Coylo against the defendant for certain publications appearing in bis paper reflecting upon the Senator, and in which tbo latter was termed as "Jingo" Coylo. Ono of tho alleged libelous articles was that he, tho prosecutor, and Sergeant-at- Arms Wyatt had entered into an agreoment by which tho lattor was to divide a portion of his salary with Coylo In roturn for bis efforts in securing him tho position. The following jury was drawn : Thomas J. Fahy, Port Carbon; Earnest Felsburg, Frackville; Ilorman Lippman, Fottsrllle: Charles 0. Faust, Fottsvlllo; Albert H.Ecbor, urcssona; Ubarlos Bwartz. Mincrsvlllc: I). P. Thompson, Jr., Tower City; Conrad Koch, rottsvlllc; Ueorgo Freed, Manheim North; II. L. KaulTman, Tremout Borough; N. II. Starr, Branch Twp.; Martin W. Heine, New Ringgold. Coylo, tho prosecutor, was the first witness. and considered ho had been libeled by tho statement that ho "had appointed political rounders whoso solo purposo was to draw mouoy from tho state treasury and dlvido it with 'Jingo Coylo." Tho witness said tho publication, so far as it reforred to him, was false. Much amusement was created by Coylo reading from tho witness stand Joyce's criticisms of the ex-Sonator, and even JudgoSavidgo could not refrain from a sup pressed smile, whilo tho editor of tlio Black Diamond seemed to bo oujoying the happiest moments of his editorial life. Coylo was on tho witness stand tho greater part of this morning and was put through a ngiu examination. lilcliard Coogan, of town, and Burd Payne, of Ashland, followed him. Tho lattor two testified as to tho cir culation of the Black Diamond. Court ad. jouruod the caso at 11:00 o'clock until 2:00 o clock th'a afternoon in ordor to give coun sel for tho dofenso an opportunity for con sulfation.

By Tins Ruling a Man Who Gets a Civil Service Place Has a Right Far amount to the Power of the Bead of the Department, Martlmburg, W. Va., Nov. 9. Judge John J. Jackeon handed down a de cision yesterday which holds that trans fer without trial cannot be made under the civil service law, because It Is equivalent to removal. Judge Jackson Insists that the ap pointment of a man to a federal posi tion under the olvll service law gives him a right In equity to the place, which he Is not forced to surrender save for cause. Judge Jackson re marks In his document that the leav ing of discretionary powers in the hands of the heads of departments makes the civil service a dead letter. He rules that there Is no doubt the civil service law Is entirely constitu tional. His second finding Is that congress has never delegated to the president and tho commission legislative power. His third point declares that the in ternal revenue service has been placed under the merit code and he also holds that any attempt to change the position and rank of officers in civil service de partments Is a violation of the law. His final holding Is that a court of equity has a right to sit In such cases, and has the Jurisdiction to restrain JUDGE JOHN J. JACKSON, the appointing power from removing the ollicers from their positions If such removals are shown to be In violation of the civil service act. He, therefore, ordered that the men -who -had been shifted from a good salaried place to a smaller salaried place should be rein stated. Government authorities declare that the ruling of Judge Jackson will cause great confusion, as Us findings are fnr from what had been expected. He practically has held that the fact that a man gets a civil service place under the government gives him a right tn equity to the salary, and emoluments of the ofllce which Is above the caprice of tho head of the department. According to Judge JackBon It Is Illegal to shift a man In ofllce unless the salary an.' emoluments shall be the same. The case which resulted in this opln Ion was brought to reinstate a United States storekeeper or gauger in the revenue service. When the changes In West Virginia were agreed upon for October a day storekeeper at the Han- nls distillery, of this place, was trans ferred to a position of additional store keeper. The storekeeper, who for three months had been on duty as additional storekeeper, was assigned as day store keeper. The withdrawal gauger was also laid off and a reinstated gauger assigned to duty. By injunctions the collector and all others were enjoined from Interfering with the three officers who had been on duty. nifrfclu'rs on n Unlet. Hazleton, Nov. 9.

Quite tho Contrary. Walter Wansiewlcx appeared before Justice Shoemaker last night and charged Joseph Strzecaak, a South Main street saloonkeeper, with assault and battery. When swearing out the warrant Walter said he went into tbo saloon to get a drink and was thrown out of the place by tbe saloonkeeper without provo cation. When the case was heard tbe Justice became eouvinced that Walter's ejectment was quite justifiable and be dismissed the complaint.
