Judge Ellsworth regretted that they had
not yet arrived at verdict, but the case
being very important and having caused the State
much expense, he did not feel warranted In COM
plying with the request. 1t was unpleasant for
him to do IL, he SAID, but duty required him TO
return them to their room for deliberation. He
added. significantly, that he had known OF juries

OVATION TO PHILADELPHIA MERCHANTS,

Yesterday afternoon there was q very pleasant
meeting between the merchants of New York and
Philadelphia at the Merchants Club, in Leonard
street, below Broadway. There was an informal
invitation Of the New York merchants to their
bre hren in trade. and the full rooms or the social
organization tly expressed the interest Of the
men OF the Quaker City were much intent upon
pressing the subject or the Centennial anniversary,
as well as '.protection" and other kindred ques-
tions. Some good afterunch speeches were made
by the guests and hosts, but nothing OF Q formal
character was done. 1t Is entirely probable that
vainly the occasion was very happy fraterniza-
tlon OF business people, and will tend TO encourage
sympathetic and not revolutionary. The only

Statement or . DeputatfOn ConcerninH
the Strike.
The 'longshoremen were greatly excited yester.
day over the report which appeared in this jour.
na's issue OF Wednesday that sixty or seventy OF
the members OF the union had thrown up their
badges and renounced oil allegiance to the society
in order TO be able TO return to work st the old
rates. In the afternoon deputation OF the long
shoremen called at the ONCE OF the HERALD and
made q statement, the substance OF which IL hero
with given. They said that they had been sent by
the union to correct the statement referred to.
which was, in their opinion, of an extremely dam.
aging nature. The number OF men who had ro-
turned 70 work mad been overstated, and they
submitted list OF the recreant members as far as
tney had ascertained them. These men. accord
relatives OF the stevedores Walsh, deserted tho
union rom the start but the other fourteen
have only recently weakened In their loyalty
TO the society and become renesades. AZ
regards the extent OF The aid given to needy
members the union oenies that only IS were
given TO eacn one per week, and asserts that they
"were not limited TO any certain amount" and
that they received assistance according to their
various necessities. The society was now dis
trbuting from IS 70 $25. The deputation stated
also that the union did not des re to "crushn
the Walsh Brothers. but only wlsned to protect
the rights or It's members.
There were no especially noteworthy develop
ments in the strike yesterday. The number Of
men still on strike Is about 1000 and tneir atti
tude Is now almost tnat OF passive spectators.
Walsh Brothers are saio TO have lost great deal
OF money by having to employ vast army OF non.
union men for the same work done previously by
q much smaller number OF society 'longshoremen.

The strike In Jersey city.

From Information received yesterday from an
employe at the Cunard dock 1t would seem that
the strikers are Offering themselves Tor any rate
the Cunard company may fx rather than that their
families should starve. The highest rate OF wages
be paid hereafter Is fixed at 50 so per day. ana
this viii apply also to the eighty odd men on the
permanent stan who nave hitherto been receiving
So per day. This stan is composed entirely OF
non-uniOn men. There was no work at the docks
yesterday, the Algeria having sailed. In the
meantime she Abyssinia arrived and the work OF
uu loading will be commenced to-day. The rumor
that the 'Longshoremcns Association, OF Jersey
CITY, has been dissolved Is not true. About sixty
men, IL Is stated have receded from the organiza-
tion and II was reported last evening tina; an equal
number would be missing from the RACKS at the
next meeting. The distress occasioned by the
strike in Jersey city cannot be exaggerated. The
number OF men out OF employment Tor tue past
month represents 400 families.
The men In the employment OF the American
Coal Company, VINO struck In obedience to the orr
ders OF the longshOremcn, have also returned,
but nearly one-t third or the number have been re-
jected. In addition 10 this the wages OF those
who returned were reduced. The supply OF coal
now at the different wharves in Jersey City con-
sidercd SUFFICIENT Tor the winter season, and re-
duction OF hands Is inevitable. In several IN
stances the wages have been reduced twenty-five
per cent, and 1t Ia feared this rule Will extend
throughout all the coal companies.

R.-No, sir, don't; but FL tell you

Then he turned his horse and drove up

didn't take long for each one to make up
