WHEELING. Sept. 20.?When the s ,'nited States District Court convene! \ estorday forenoon the first case ot ti mportaace to he called, after a few ii uotlons had been disposed of, was t< hat ot Thomas M. Fields, the Wash- tl ngton lawyer, who petitions for his o elease from the penitentiary. Mr. h Telds Is, or was, a prominent lawyer s if Washington, D. C., and was eun- -A Icted In the United States court of b he District Columbia, on the charge a of embezzling ce-taln trust funds, le was sentenced to serve a term In " he penitentiary at Moundsville, W. e 'a., nnd was brought from there to n he court room yesterday to argue his u wn case. The hearing was on a pe- 0 Itlon filed by Fields lor a writ of ha- 8 eas'corpus .In which he prayed for T ils unconditional release. He was 8 entenced to a term of five years, and las served about cne year. Attorney 'buries llcCamc. of Moundsville, also ppears us counsel lor Fields.

At a fo'-ner 0 earing before Judge Dayton the court j ecided that Fields was entitled to his 'e iberty, but that the proceedings for writ of habeas corpus were improper p s a remedy. Mr. Fields addressed g be court In his own behalf and tnade;t] profound Impression oil the audience iresent. He is an Impressive and flu- s nt speaker and his argument from v purely legal point of view was con- f, idered very able. An important and ]i lovel feature of his argument was s he speaker's entire divorcement of t< ds own Individuality from it. He rarey referred to the petitioner (himself) a the first person. The gist of Mr. Telds' defense is that when he made istributlon of the trust funds in his ossesslon, puruant to a court order, e was absorved from further liability, 'he petition for a writ of habeas corus contains all the points of error alsged to have been committed by the rial court which sentenced the conicted lawyer.

RoSltison, of the local bar. to the bench of the Supreme Court of Appeals, of the State, to succeeed Judge J. M. Safders, who has just resigned It Is argued that the Second Congressional district does not have representation on the Supreme bench, and that Mr. Robinson is exceptionally well qualified to sit on tbe bench as this representative. He Is a staunch Republican and a supporter ol the State aazmmstrauon, lie nas ueenj prosecuting attorney and represented' Taylor, Marlon and Monongalia I counties In the State Senate during ex-Go senior A. B. White's admlnlstraI tlon, and as such ana regarded us the leaner of Ills party In that hody. Mr. Robinson haa always been considered au able and successful lawyer, with a large and profitable clientage. He is ia close student of the law, and offers his opinions on legal subjects only after an exhaustive study of the law pertaining to the same. Close students of the political situation In the Ftate naser! that should Mr. Robinson be appointed to fill out the unexpired term ot Judge Sanders, he will unI doubted!;- get the nomination of his party for this office at the next sitting of the State Republican convention. It [is asserted on good authority that he its the choice of Senator Elklns for the office, and he will doubtless receive the.hearty support of some other of the strongest men In the Republican ranks of the State, among whom Is Hon. George C. Sturgiss, member of Congress from-this district, to whose election in the last campaign much is due Mr. Robinson, he having stumped tue whole district favoring Mr. Sturgiss' election. ? + NORMAL NOTES. ? * The first week of the Fairmont Normal ended today with bright prospects for a good term. Excellent, enthusiastic teachers and a good, solid enrollment of first class students. Most of the classes have been organized and Monday will find work going along monthly. The enrollment now numbers 130, but more are to arrive early next week. Any person desiring information concerning the school will call at the President's office or address him at Fairmont. On account of the papering and other repairs being done in Chapel Hall, the chapel exercises were held la the auditorium. The exercises were conducted by Rev. G. D. Smith, pastor of the First M. E. Church. Kev. stoetzer, of the First Presbyterian church, also attended the chapel exercises The Literary Societies will not meet this evening, but through the efforts of the Mozart Literary the school will attend an old fashioned corn roast held at Farmer Reeves' at his home on Morgantown avenue, First ward. The Invitation was given by Mr. McKinney for the Mozart in a neat little speech and accepted In behalf of the Lyceum by Oliver Shurtleft. The faculty and entire student body were invited, and a great many wUi attend. Next Friday evening, however, the| societies will have their regular liter-! ary programme In their halls. Ail students who are not members of one of the societies are urged to Join, so that they may become acquainted with each! other. Another thing urged upon new students Is that they identify themselves with some of the city churches. The pastors of any of the churches will gladly welcome you. A special Sunday Bchool class tor Baptist students and those who have no special church preferences will be organized at the First Baptist church with Ur. M. C. Lough as teacher. This will no doubt be an interesting class as Mr. Lough was formerly a Normal School teacher and is at present a member of the Board of Regents. At the Woman's Hall are now 26 pupils and teachers, but by next week room will be at a premium. Several have written to Miss Smith asking that rooms be retained for them. Miss Ware, of the Elocution Department, will be here Monday and will be prepared to take up this important part of one's education. Miss Ware is a graduate 01 uie miwimuu Jirnwr of Oratory. 0.8.

PARKERSBURG, Sept. 20.?In pass ing upon the divorce case of Mary C. Baldwin vs.-Edward E, Baldwin yesterday. Judge Moss at Circuit Court, remarked' upon the frequency of cases in which divorce was applied for by the plaintiff and apparently agreed to by the defendant. The court re marked that the legislature should fnf mtKIIMHr in such unyv jjiwiiutu iu? cases, particularly when the Involved adultery, which in these cases is the most frequent ground. The court, in the case at issue. Inserted in the degre^ the provision that the defendant may not remarry, and the divorce Is complete only so tor as it concerns th? plaintiff. The defendant does not enjoy the beiteflts of a complete divorce and may not remarry. The rule In this State provides for the taking of evidence and depositions in private. The defendant In case of adultery, where a divorce is granted, under the ordinary decree, enjoys the same privilege as the plaintiff and at the same time the couat's secrecy, un der the law, shields him from publicity. Judge Moss said that he would establish an innovation in the matter of divorces by, in .future decrees, incorporating the provision that the defendant may forever be prohibited from re marrying. The point has never been given a test and It is probable that the Supreme Court will be given an opportunity to test its validity. Such a decree will play havoc in the camp of "affinities." -The cases have been frequent in this county, where parties to divorce cases have been guilty of the grossest violation of th marital vows, and have merely waited until the endurance of the party to the marital compact Is gone and a divorce Is secured, In which they are screened from publicity, and as a result of which they escape further responsibility. In the future it will not be so. HOPE FOR BACHELORS REPORTS SAY 1,000 IRISH GIRLS ARE COMING ON THE STEAMER BALTIC. Ntew TORK, SepL 20.?Steamship men threw up their hands when they read a dispatch from Liverpool regarding the departure of a thousand unmarried women on the steamer Baltic. When asked for an explanation for the simultaneous sailing of so many girls they said they could not explain the wholesale onslaught on the United States. At the oflice of the White Star line they said that nothing like it had ever happened before. It was said that possibly the Dublin Exposition this year had drawn many Irish servant girls In this country to their old home and that they were now returning. "Maybe times are poor or husbands are scarce in Ireland,' was another explanation offered. Records. Records, Record*. Gold monlded Cylinder Records, 16c each, |1.90 per dozen.
