The jury were locked up after
they had been informed by Judge
Steele that he would bo ready
to receive their verdict at any
time before IL o'clock. After that hour,
tomorrow being Sunday, they would,
in accordance with the practice OF the
court, have to wait until Monday be
fore they could be discharged.
The impression among the people
concerning the case is, on the one side
that the jury will not agree, while on
the other 1t is believed they agree to
q verdict Of manslaughter. This latter
impression Is based on the belief that
Prestidge, in killing Hardeman, acted
through fear, although 1t is not con
tended by those entertaining this last
opinion that he was justified In his
fears.
The extreme penalty for mansIaugh
ter Is twenty years at hard labor in the
Penitentiary.
Should verdict Of guilty In any
sense be returned, it is reasonable 10
believe that the case will be taken MP
to the Supreme Court on the exceptions
taken to the array Of the Jury, the ad
mission of the dying confession Of the
deceased, and other grounds already
mentioned.

Yesterday afternoon shooting aifray
took place at the corner of St. Charles

crlars connected with the affair are ap
follows:
The negro Watkins, who IS an habtual
druukard, was in q room in tho back
yard with his wife. Hearing Mr
Nicholas in the ward came out Of the
room. and seeing tho gentleman
walked up to him and asked
in what manner would he like to
leave this earth. At such imper-
tincnce Mr.. Nicholas ordered the negro
to his room and advised him to retire.
Watkins obeyed the command, but re-
turned in few minutes with revolver.
Mr. Nicholas, wishing to avoid an en-
counter, walked into the front yard.
Watkins, the aggressor, followed him.
at the same time leveling his pistol.
Mr. Nicholas, not thinking that the
negro would dare to fire, faced him and
approached, ut the same time remark
ing that If he Watkins could not
behave himself, he should leave the
premises. The negro then struck Mr..
Nicholas, still covering him with his re-
volver. Mr. Nichols then attempted to
disarm his adversary, when the negro
discharged the pistol, the ball taking
effect in Mr.. Nichols right eye. The
shock was 50 great that this gentleman
fell. and as he did 50 Watkins fred an
other shot but without effect.
Mr.. w. p Turpbull, who resides in
the same house, hearing the report
Of the pistol. rushed upon the scene as
he did SO, the negro fired two shots at
him, one of the balls taking effect in
Mr. Turnbull's right arm.
This gentleman. who saw that tho
negro was on the eve of firing the fifth
shot, took pistol from Mr.. Nicholas
pocket and discharged four barrels at
the desperate negro, one Of the balls
taking effect in Watkins right lung.
The negro was sent to the Charity Hos
pital. DR. Brickell attended Mr.. Nicho-

all it's fiendish details, was gone
through. As the torment increased in
bitterness, Damiens cried, Strengthen

WASHINGTON, May Is. No sooner has
Blaine broken through one net work
than his enemies come down with new
warp and woof to tie his limbs in the
Presidential race. There has been
placed In possession of one OF the com
mttees allegations which, if proven.
would damn Blaine beyond redemption.
but. terrific as these stories are, they
are, like all the others. mere assertions,
and since they are to be tested they may
as well be related Some days ago A. T.
Robinson, who was chief engineer OF
the Fort Smith and Arkansas road, ad-
dressed letter to Democratic mem
Der of the House, in which he said that
if he were promised immunity he would
give testimony that would show that
BLAINE WAS 4 DISHONEST MAN
He then declared that he had some four
years ago paid to Blaine in q private
room in the capitol in the presence Of
ex Senator Rice. $2I 900 in bonds Of the
road, for which no consideration was
paid. Ex Senator Rice to-day gave a
member Of the Arkansas delegation q
confirmation of this story of Robinson 8.
After this information was furnished by
Robinson, the statutes were examined.
and when it was discovered that the
StatuLt VI llIJlltatloIlS Woull Ddl bHy at
tion against Robinson, more than three
years having elapsed, no action was
necessary to secure him immunity
Robinson will arrive here on Wednesday
to testify Chief Justice Mcclure, of
Arkansas. who Is here, says that
HE HAS HEARD THIS STORY
of Robinson's before, and that it has
been strongly corroborated to him. He,
however, knows nothing OF it person
ally. This incredible story cannot be
brought before the Judiciary Commit
tee without an additional resolution in
the House. Unless unanimous consent
can be obtained this will have to wait
until Monday. Meanwhile other stories
about Blaine are accommodating. Gen.
Hunton has been furnished by alleged
trustworthy authority with O memo
randa Of the payments Of money to
Blaine. This has been copied and the
original memoranda destroyed in the
presence of two members of the House.
This memoranda comprises a heap Of
documents, large enough to fill an ordi
nary volume Of congressional reports.
What it all amounts to will be deter

SERIES OF BURGLARIEs.
How the Thieves Ba1Yied the Skill Of the
Detectives, Hut At Last Come to Grief.

For some time past there has been q
series Of grocery burglaries committed
in the Fourth q District which have
baf1led the skill of the detectives to dis
cover the perpetrators. The similarity
i'm which each store was entered showed
that burglary had been committed by
the same clique, and also that they were
practical thieves and well trained to the
business. .V4 as
On May s grocery at the corner OF
White and Jackson streets was burglari-
ously entered and robbed of q largo
amount Of groceries and 5000 in cur
rericy. On the morning of May Is Mr..
Fink's grocery, at the corner OF Dryades
and Felicity streets, was entered and
robbed Of groceries and $50 in currency.
The following night the burglars raided
the store of Mr.. O'Brien, at the corner
Of Philip and Locust streets. Not being
satisfied with stealing q large amount OF
groceries, they entered the sleeping
apartment Of Mrs. O'Brien and carried
off gold watch and chain. The per
petrators Of the burglaries were dill
gently searched for by the detectives,
tions to arrest certain parties on sight.
The dispatch resulted in Officers Mala
bre and Williams arresting Briney
Woods and Ben Alexander.
Briney Woods is charged with robbing
his parents some time ago Of 800. Ben
Alexander is q brother to the notorious
thief, Munsen Alexander, who was shot
some two years ago by the detectives.
Richard Joyce, another member Of
the gang, was arrested by Special Off
Ger Stolberger. All the accused Were
before the proper authorities
and incarcerated in the Parish Prison
to await trial. A large part OF the stolen
has been recovered.

FitZ Herbert dc Percy.

During the war, an officer in the Army
Of the Potomac was surprised. on re-
Ceiving draft Of men to ill up the gaps
in the ranks, to find that one Of the
names on the list was Fitz Herbert de

ment at the discovery that the owner of
this aristocratic name was an Irishman

lures Mast would have delighted,

Me mann, sor, replied the recruit,
steadily, me mann is Fitz-Horborrrt
de Porrrcy." The possession of this
clearly impossible title exercised
dreadful fascination on all the officers
of the regiment, and numbcrless were
the attempts made to discover what the
wearer's real name was and why he
had adopted such an alias. All
were vbaflied. Drunk or sober. to
orders or entreaties, artfully pumped
but one reply: ''Me mann is Fitz-Hor-
borrrt DE Porrrey.' At last his term of
service expired and he received his dis
charge. And now, De Percy" said
his commanding officer ''you are out

name may be, or your reasons for aban-
doning it, can make no difference in
your relations with me. What was it?
Come, now" '.Capting, answered the
man, II will not desave yez Fitz-H Hor-

officer. eagerly; "and your true name
