The Orient express train running bo-sween Paris and Vienna, seldom has an applicant on Friday for tho thirteenth

served boforehand, but the numberod iickots arc only distributed at the last

Til at O'Sulllvun an<l liurk Are Convicted.

Tho Cronin Jury. CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—Tho court has not

yet convened, tho jury having sent word to Judjjo McOomiell that it is not yet prepared to return a verdict. It is given out that an agreement lias been reached as to all excopt lleggs.

Up to noun nothing has lieon an­nounced in tho C'ronin case. The jury was still out and thero was nothing to

indicato that it had reached a verdict. Tho criminal court was surrounded liy a groat throng of people anxious to hear the first word from tho jury room. It was announced last night that the court would convene at 11) o'clock this morning Ton o'clock arrived hut no jury came in. At 10:15, 10::10, 10:45 and it'o'clock there was still no jury. Tho crowd outsido tho court room was rapidly swelling and as tho morning wore on they hecamo impatient. Shortly boforo 11 o'clock Judge McC'onnell asked ono of tho baliffs if tho jury showwi any signs of being ready to report,

was infonned 'they hiul not. He Tho judge then retired to his privato room. The general sentiment seems to bo that the result will bo disagreement though, of course, this is based on con­jecture. During tho morning a report gained currency that tho jury had con­victed O'Sullivan and liurke, Hurke and Coughlin to hang and given Iteggs and Kunzo torms in tho penitentiary. This proved to bo premature, but It. caused great excitement before tho falsity of tho report was discovered.

Tho rumor that tho jury stood 11 to 1 fop tho conviction of Coughlin, O'Sulli­van ar.d liurke that was started last night, was revived this morning, and in tho rumor was contained tho insinua­tion that tho one recalcitrant juror had been bribed. "Such an insinuation is untrue. Thero is nothing in it," said Judgo McConnoll, when spoken to abmit tho matter. At 12 o'clock Judge Me-Connell adjourned court until 2 p. m.

THE JUIiV STll.J, IX A OKA 1 H.OCK.

CHICAGO, Dee. 1-1.—2:00 p. m.— At this writing information from tho most au­thentic source is that the jury is in the samo deadlock they were' at" 12 o'clock last night. 44 is now pretty certain the jury is divided hi a proportion of 11 to 1. Whether tho disagreement extends boyoiul a moro question of guiit, or whether it relates to the question of penalty cannot positively bo statod.

Another American Girl Going, NEW York, Dec. 14.—It is announced

that Miss Sarah Pholps Stokes, daugh­ter of Anson l'helps Stokes, tho mill­ionaire banker of this city, is engaged to ISaron llalket, a partner in tho bank­ing house of tho Rothschilds. Tho baron is of an old and very wealthy Her­man family.

Tale of a "War Horse;"

An officer of experience, writing on the behavior of horses in battle, savs: When it comes to battle a horse seems to know everything that is going on; but lie does his duty nobly, ami seems

_ to be in his clement. He enters into the spirit of the battle like a human being. He shows no fear of death, ami it is singular that if his mate is shot down ho will turn to look at him and seem pleased. A horse in my battery was once struck by a piece 'of shelf, which split his skull, so that ono side was loose. The driver turned him loose, but lie walked up by the side of tho gun and watched the firing, ami when a shot was fired would look away in the direction of the enemy, as if to see tho effect of the shot.. When a she'I would burst near by he 'would calmly turn and look at it. When he saw his own team goin£ back for ammunition lie ran baeli to his own place and gal­loped back to the caisson with the rest. When the. Lieutenant pushed him aside to put in another horse, lie looked at the other one sorrowfully while he was being harnessed up, aud when he seemed to realize that thero was no further use for him lie lay-down and died. The Lieutenant.strong­ly assorted that he died of a broken heart—Court Journal.

She Was Unusually Discreet.

A little Maine girl recently visiteo New York and went to the theatre two or three times. On her return home

she was reluctant to go to church on Sunday and made the remark that "she liked those meetings best where the

,, . , , . curtain rose. " Her father who was a ho would havo to drive through the j leading church member, cautioned her

about making that remark when call­ers were present. Shortly after the

Goorge (!ovo, of Leach's Flats, Pa.,

.•outed a rabbit out of a fallow on his place tho other day, intending to tiro at

it after it had run a short distance. Just as he was about to pull the trigger in enormous hawk darted down, cap­

turing tho rabbit, and attempted to rise. The rabbit squealed and struggled to

free itself, while the hawk tightened its

.•laws aud got a good hold. When tho

hawk had got'about fifteen feot from the ground with its prey Mr. (Sovo banged away at it. It dropped like a atone and died in a moment. The rab­

bit was dead, too, although none of the shot had hit it.

A .Sandersville, Ga., paper tells thi story: A few days ago a gontleman was iriving in tho vicinity of Long's bridge.

IIo firmly hold the lines over a splendid mare, while the mare's colt contentedly

trotted along behind. When ltutTalc creek was reached, repairs being made on the bridge, tho gentleman found that

channel, which was unusually deep,

almost swimming, and would swim the colt. The mare was driven in, and the colt not desiring a test of his swimming

qualities, reared up on his tender hind legs, gently placed his foro ones on the

box of tho vehicle back of the buggy seat, and was safely drawn across the

muddy stream. When tho. Opposite bank was reached ho gracofully bounded off with a whinny of satisfaction.

A peculiar caso was filed tho other day In the circuit court of Birmingham

Ala. Thomas S. Davis, 26 years of age, brings suit for 850,000 damages against the Georgia Pacific Railroad company,

and alleges that through the careless­ness of the officers of that corporation

his heart was knocked from the loft jide of his body to the right side, much

to his physical and mental discomfort. IIo was employed as brakeman for the company a few months since, and was

injured in a Wreck. IIo alleges that his intestines woro completely turned

around by the injuries ho received, and his heart afterward changed in sympathy

with them.

Soap Bubbles.

All boys and girls like to make soap bubbles, but few know how to make those that will last for an hour if left undisturbed. To make them, take palm-oil soap and shave linely, then put the Bhavings in a large bottle of distilled water, and shake until dis­solved. Filter this through a pieco of gray filtering paper, fold the paper in crimps so that it will fit into a funnel. When the solution is filtered add about one-third as much glycerine as you have solution. Always shake well be­fore usiug. These bubbles muBt bo blown through a rubber tube fitted on the tube of a small glass funnel with a rim two inches in diameter. To have the bubbles last aJong time blow thorn into'iron rings laid on a piece of carpet and wet -with tho solution.— Uood Housekeeping.

These wer§ all planted on school grounds.

SETTLERS WIL1. BE A1DEC>.

Nor:li Dakota T^'Rlslnturo Orders an Iu* vest'.jfntion of DontUutlon.

N. D., Dec. 14.—Tho com­mit U> on state affairs has reported a resolution on tliiMjuestion of destitution among settlers, in harmony with the suggestion of the governor. Tho res­olution instructs tho commissioner of agriculture to visit the localities in which destitution is said to cxi.st. and report at the earliest possible date to the legislature. Upon the report of the commissioner tho legislature will pass such a bill as may bo necessary to grant relief. Tho prohibition bill, which is as iron-clad as any - \ er adopt, d by a state, passed tho house by a vote of ."•0 to .1, Stevens not voting. Tlie bill is so amended that it will go intoelfect May 1, instead of January 1, .ts originally drafted. It will have to p:o to the senate where there is claimed to be the necessary two-thirds voto tn i's favor. Tho one vote against tho bill was cast by dimmer, a democrat. During the iiscussion of the bill, whou an effort vas ruade to delay action. McCullough, i republican, stated that tho bill was a republican measure, and warned tho republicans that tho party would be held responsible for its fate. The pro­hibitionists are happy, and tho saloon men of the state are looking about for i more congenial clime. The senate passed a bill establishing a deaf muto school at Devil's Kako. It has been proposed that tho legislature take a trip to Washington during the holiday recess ur.l although then* is not a majority in favor of the junket it is probable 'that •i large party of members and friends will take in the excursion and visit the senators and congressmen from tho western stat".s.

The proposed amendment to tho con­stitution providing for tho removal of the capital was defeated in the son a to. It was ^indefinitely postponed by a voto of 18 to If. This virtually settles the capital removal contest for this session. A similar resolution has been intro-.iucod in the house, but the action of senate makes it useless for the repre­sentatives to act.

The Crista in M origin a. IIKI.K.VA, Mont., Dec. Iff—The dead­

lock in tho senate has reached the stage where, under the law, something must

be done. Under tho territorial law, which is still in e.fTect, members of either

branch of the legislature must take tho oath and enter upon their duties within thirty days after the date set for tho meeting of the body of wh'ch they are members, or their oJtico becomos vacant, and tho governor may order a new elec­tion. This thirty day limit has now ex-, pired. and the ohi<-ea of tlie Montana democratic senators who have not yet rjualilied, are under tlie law vacant. l'his afternoon a conference was held between the democratic and republican senators, and tho iormer agreed that on Monday morning they would either go into the senate or resign their others. The latter will probabiy be the course taken, as. if the democrats go in Willi tho republicans, tho latter can go into joint, session with the republican representatives, and elect two United States senators. There aro only one or two democrat ic senators who advocate tho policy of qualifying, wliilo tho live illegal members from Silver How aro allowed to sit in the republican house and they will undoubtedly bo guided by the majority. The sentiment of tho democratic party, senatorial can­didates and all, is against the demo­cratic senators helping to organize tho senate until tho republicans obey the governor's proclamation, meet in tho court house, and purge themselves of tho Tunnel precinct members. So strong is this feeling that it seems scarcely probable that any democratic senator will dare disobey it, and thus aid the republicans to consummate tho work inaugurated by the Silver Bow re­turning board.

Many Months with Savages. rortTr.ANi). Me., Dec. 14.—Captain

William (Joodwin, of the bark Tewkes­

bury L. .Sweat, which was wrecked on the Caroline islands last April, arrived today from San Fanciaco. He tell a thrilling story of the wreck. The crew lived for several months among savages and navigated 1,000 miles in boats and canoes until they reached I'omopo, whence the ship Morning Star took them to Honolulu, and from there they catuo to San Francisco. The savagos woro not hostile. The shipwrecked crew found a man named Israel Irons English by birth, who was left or. i'o/.ea island four years ago by a trading ves­sel. lie is now living in a savage state having soven wives and being prime minister of tho island. It was through tho good offices of Irons that Captain (Joodwin and his men woro saved. They woro long given up for lost, and meas­ures had been taken to settle (Joodwin'y estate by his heirs.

Sing Sing Prison to HP Moved. KINGSTON, X. Y., Dec. I f. -The com­

mission appointed to report to the legis­lature as to the advisability of the re­moval of tho state prison'now located at Sing Sing, has just returned from ex­amining proposed locations in Sullivan and Ulster counties. Their work is about completed and tho members of tho commission have gone to Albany, whore tuoy will meet and prepare tholi report. Tho members agree as to the necessity of removing the state prison from its present location, but there is a difference of opinion as to whether Ulster or Sullivan county would be the most suitable for its location.

ticipated for several days past, tho

strike of tho stokors of the South Met­ropolitan (5as company was declared on

today and ono of tho most serious labor troubles which has ever broke out in

the city presents Itself. It is expected that the movement will involve all tho gas works throughout the metropolis

and K has already extended to other large cities throughout tho kingdon.

ThenN is no improvement in the con­dition of affairs at Manchester where 2,000 men havo gone out although so far no active attempts havo been made to intimidate the men who have assumed the placo of some of tho strikers. A peaceful solution of tho situation of affairs here whilo hoped for is very far from being assured and tho police are believed to bo in sympathy with tho strikers. There has never beforo been such an imminent upheaval throughout tho labor world apprehended as that which today's events threaten. Chief of Police Munro has held a conference with llome Secretary Matthews, who is understood to bo in favor of vigilant and repressive opposition to any inter­ference with the rights of men who aro willing to work and ho has given rigor ous instructions to tho police author­ities iu this direction. The aspect of affairs in South London Very plainly indicates that a concerted movement is on foot affecting the entire domain of labor and the outlook is rendered still more grave by the threatened strikes on the Great Northern and Northeastern railroads which any hour may bring about.

THE SILC0TT INVESTIGATION.

Tho Committee Appointed Reports to thi House*

WAsniKor Dec. 13.—Tho i-eportol the Sileott committee was presented tc tho house yesterdays Tho report gives

a detailed statement of the assets and liabilities of the oflice of sergeant-al­arms on December 5. The.shortage Is

stated to bo $70,70S. It states that tfca committee has not yet made sufficient investigation of the matter of discount

and notes. Many notes, tho committee

believes, wero forged to covor a defalca­tion already existing. It also says that tho committee cannot too severely con­demn tho manner in which tho sergoant-at-arms conductod tho affairs of his office. A resolution was adopted ex­tending to tho eommitteo the powers of a special committee, that it, in its re­port to the house, might give its con­clusions as to the effect of any deficiency in cash in the offico of tho sergcant-at-arms.

Tho committee says in closing: It appears that a portion of the cash un­

der control of Sileott has never been counted during the six years of Mr. Leo-dom's incumbency by any other person than Silcutt, and it does not appear that Sileott ever counted the cash or that Lee-dom ever aske.l for a count until the even­ing of the fttli inst., when the deficiency was announced. Mr. Leedom seems to have exercised no careful supervision of the interests committed to Ills care.

Mr. Payson, of Illinois, immediately upon conclusion of tho reading of tho report, offered a resolution authorizing the committee not only to examine tho accounts, but to tako charge of all tho assets of the office until further order of tho house; to receive any proposal from Leedom for making good any defi­ciency, aud also to make a full report as to the effect of any deficiency. There was a protracted debate over this, regarding the responsibility of the sergeant-at-arms, as to whether he was acting as agent of the members or of tho treasury department, and the opinions expressed were conflicting. Finally Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, offered a substitute for tho resolution directing the committee to report as to the effect or result of any deficiency, and especially as to Iho un­paid salaries to members, accompanying the report with a bill if necessary. This was adopted, as was also one offered by Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, di­recting Sergeant-at-Arms Holmes to ar­range witli the treasury department for tho payment of the mileage of tho mem­bers.
