All of the Jurors who served in the suit

Nhalen and Jettreys, have signed a men,
orial to be presented to the Kings County
Board OF Supervisors, asking for s. extra
pay each for every days service during
the trial. Messrs. Whalen and Jetfreys are
IN favor of their late colleagues receiving
additional compensation, but do not wish
to sign the memorial us applicants on their
own accounts. The subject has been fire.
qnently discussed among the jurors since
the refusal of the Supervisors to make an
award of extra pay under the recent act Of
the Legislature providing for additional
compensation for jurors in protracted
trials. The jurors finally held Il meeting
to take formal action, and appointed a
committee to prepare a memorial which
was adopted at 4 subsequent meeting and
which will be presented to the Board of
Supervisors at their next meeting. The
ostenSible ground of the Supervisors in
refusing the previous application was that
to grant it would he to establish 4 bad
precedent. Counsel who have been CON
suited by some Of the jury declare the
claim valid, and if the Supervisors con-
tinue their refusal to allow it. there is said
to be a determination to appeal to the
Courts.
\ WILD WoMAN.-The mystery of the
appearance of a beautiful young woman in
the woods near Schenectady, \. Y. has
ripencd into 4 real romance. In 1873 the
only daughter of Louis Bourbaki. who
lived near Alb my, fell from virtue. wa,
driven from home, and hasn't been heard
from since, until last Saturday. The re-
cent stories of Il wild woman of the wood,
started Il strange suspicion in Bourbakis
mind that this was his child, and, with two
young men as guides he went to find her.
Directed by Il cry of distress. they follow
ed down a deep ravine to Il cavern. which
they nt'rel on hand and knee. The
woman. as they entered. gave Il shrek of
disp,ir and klocked her head against 'he
ragged rocks like u maniac. Mr. B"urb Xxi
cried in 4 loud voice. "Emma"' She
started, stood motionless for an instant
then, with wild cry, spran~ into her
fathers arms. She was nearly naked. and
had on the remnants of the very clothes
she wore when driven from her home. |
She was perfectly sane ana went peace
ably with them to Il hotel, where She told to
her father in private the story of her wan
behring's. Bourbaki gave his present resi-
dence - in Vermont, an WIS happy to
get his GIRL again.
DEATH OF AN OLD FRIEND OF CARL
SCnUEZ.-To all who know the eal " his
tory of Carl Schurz the name of Herr
kruigee of Spandau. Germany, is fraught
with interesting memories. After the
trying days of 1913, when Mr.. Schurz es-
capped from confinement in the fortress Of
Sptndau, he WAS UNIV Hing to flee the !
country until he should have set tee his
conrad kinkel. Kruger gave him shelter
beneath his own roof and ahc,ted his gen
erouS plans In country where every .
thing savoring of treason was rs hlrShlv /
dealt with rs in Germany. this act demand ,
ed no small degree of courage. Indeed, |
Kruger soon learned what it cost TO ritle
with the lion Of the law. y rumor reached
the ears of the authorities that he had
given aid and comfort to two notoriou,
rebels: and forthwith his estate WAS coniis- .
Gated, his business broken up, a small
| Office which he held under Government
taken away and, and himself thrown into
prison. 1t is gratifying t. know, however,
that the noble man survived these trials,
retrieved his fortunes to some extent, and
passed his remaining days in comparative
ease. Last month he died 1t the ripe age
of Scventy-SiX Years. surrounded by loving
relatives and friends, and all the peaceful.
pleasant association, which rob the long
valley Of its shadow.
