A Jury Wrestles with Conundrum for
Twenty-four Hours.
1t was long seige, and the boys are glad
it is over. The jury in the case of H. E..
Jacobson vs.. the Chicago, Milwaukee g. st.
Paul Railroad company got their instruc-
tions from Judge Wilkin little before II
o'clock on Saturday forenoon, and at once
proceeded to deliberate on tho evidence.
The court adjourned, and they had the free
dom OF the court room, jury room and wit
ness room, and they made themselves at
home. They all came to decision very soon
after retiring, but unhappily they did not all
agree as to what that decision would be, and
as an agreement is small technically which
courts in general usually insist upon, they
had to keep each others company. They
had disposed of lunch and supper, and suck
ed several dozens of cigars aud ballotted
between times, but there were half dozen
of very obstinate jurors on either side.
Night oame on and tha fun kept up. The
gas was lit, and some of the jurors tried to
sleep. But there were always some wakeful
ones among the twelve, and the efforts to
get nap were futile. Breakfast was served
yesterday morning and another ballot was
taken. The obstinate half dozen remained
stiff necked still. The bailiff having them
in charge was entreated to open their prison
doors, but he was hard hearted fellow and
refused. Finally about noon they all came
to unanimous decision-they agreed to
disagree, and deputy sheriff was dispatched
for Judge Wilkin. That worthy gentleman
was found meditating over the truths he
had heard expounded in the pulpit,
and wondering when dinner would
be ready. Sympathy for the
sufferings of his fellow mortals, however, is
one of his weaknesses, and he determined tc
release the twelve prisoners at once, even il
ne had to eat cold roast with muddy coffee
accomplishments, and he at once proceeded
to the courtroom. Never did he receive {
heartier welcome. He bent his ear to the
piteous plea of the imprisoned dozen--or
the half shetland told them to go their ways
and disagree no more.

At jackson Street Methodist Church.

The services at the Jackson Street Methodist
church last evening were we'll attended. As
symbol of the occasion the reading desk was
ornamented with flowers. The service COM
menced with the singing of the hymn, 'AI
hail the powsr of jesus name" The singing
was congregational, lead by an excellent quin-
tette, with Miss Connolly at the organ.
The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Stafford, offer ed very
appropriate prayer, after which the choir sang
an anthem, Hear My Cry" The Rev. MI.
Lloyd next read the eleventh chapter of Isaiah;
the 712th hymn followed, and at the ffertory,
Miss Connolly played beautiful voluntary.
The Rev. MIR. Lloyd. of the First Methodist
church, preached the sermon. He took for his
text the words: -,
Honor to whom honor is due''-Romans,
Is ch., 7th v.
and kept throughout every generation every
family, every province and every city.''-Es-
Their, 8 CHI, 18th v.
The reverend gentleman introduced his sub
ject by an allusion to the custom through the
ages of erecting memorials to commemo rate
events OF moment-the heap Of stone on Jor-
| dams bank. the cairns Of the serf the earth
| mounds of this continent. Triumphal arches,
| symmetrical columns and towering monuments
| are raised to perpetuate events to be re-
membered by succeeding generations. Days

| deeds and great men. Thus the Fourth of
July is the birthday of the republic, under
whose benign institutions we 1--we. People are
| liable to forget the importanc of events and
| the grandeur of deeds. A stu dy of our history

he reviewed the history of the struggle for
| liberty and the struggle to maintain the in
tegrity and honor and the existence of the
institutions of the country, extolling those
| who fought and honoring those who died in
! the grand and glorious cause. They are, he
said, the dead of our homes and the dead of
the nations heart He adduced several
! reasons for honoring the dead. He compared
the conflict for the maintenance of the
republic to ancient wars, and those
of modern history and ill ustrated with beau
| tiful figure of the mountain lake the rocky
stream the eternal SHOWS of lofty heights and
| the rain cloud to show the perpetuity of

shams and frauds and dishonesties of the
political world, and although they looked
| SO gloomy and unpromising he had
| great faith In the future. He was convinced
there was honesty still left in. the land and in
tegrity was not crushed out of the vitals of the
| nation. There were thousand honest, noble
men who would do honor to the country as its
President. The sermon was a mastery effsrt

be spared to it here can give but very imper-
