Buchholz's Third Chance.

the -Eury Finally Dismissed .---A
 Wcaried Pardy---SixtPEight Hours
 of Contention and Fifty-EiRht Ba1-
 IOIs---Time for Another Trial Set
 DOWns
 The Buchholz jury at last came in not to return to the jury room. Amid great sus- pense in the court room, which was crowded, with an eager throng, they reported to the court yesterday morning an utter failure to come to any agreement and were called in and discharged. They had been out sixty eight hours and looked weary and chafed.
 One report says the jury came the nearest to an agreement Wednesday afternoon, and that they then stood nine for murder in the first degree, two for second degree and one for acquittal. Previous to Judge Parks's second charge the state of the balloting was variable enough. Fifty-eight ballots were ta- ken. The first of all stood, it is said, ten for first degree, one for second degree and one for acquittal. The jury were out 68 hours. Buchholz was looked at with great interest to see how he would take the news, no doubt very agreeable to a man in his unenviable sit
 uation. To the general disappointment he manifested no particular emotion, nor was any SSO ! disappointing to such as had looked for some thing dramatic He had evidently pretty l much made up his mind that the jury wasn't l going to hang him, and that he was going to have another bout with the law. He has been an object of some interest to some of the fair
 sex of Bridgeport, and bouquets were | sent him with gilt-edged cards at | tached at both his trials. There
 have been many hundreds of spectators at | tracted to the court room at both trials, and ! whether BuchhoIz in his third trial will draw l as we'll remains to be seen. The prosecuting l attorney, MT. Olmstead, wanted another trial right away General Smith wanted a little
 breathing spell, and besides was on the track | of new evidence. The indefatigable Mir. Olmstead pressed, however, for an early date, ! and gave as one reason that he feared one
 witness would have to be lot off soon to go to l South America. Finally the date of com mencing the new trial, which the court had
 ordered, upon motion was fixed for April 13. l They Took a Ride.
 1 The jury consoled themselves for their con-
 fnement in the interests of justice by coming
 to an agreement of one kind. In this they all joined heartily. It was to pay visit to the
 jail together. They were driven up to the in
 stitution at about two o'clock in one of Bridge
 ports famous big busses. The jailor showed
 them around and they stayed about an hour | surveying the institution.

Blew over Suddenly.

The strike in North Grosvenordale few days since, terminated Wednesday morning as suddenly as it arose. The Norwich Bulle- tin correspondent says: ''Most of the help were evidently under 8 misapprehension and returned to work at the wages previously fixed by the company as soon as they understood the matter No change whatever was made in the programme of the company arranged previous to the strike. We think it seldom that strike of such magnitude terminates so quietly and so quickly. The help during this strike were demonstrative but not vicious and no bad blood or sense of wrong on either side survives it. Sheriff Osgood did his duty in the matter prudently but energetically.'"

American Oysters Abroad.

The Stamford Advocate claims that Stan- ford oysters were the first to cross the ocean, saying twenty-two years ago Mir. A. W. Will Hams kept an oyster house opposite the depot on the lot now occupied by neat cottage. While here, the captain of an ocean steamer, who frequently had occasion to go from New York to Boston, would step in from the train and get some of Williams finest oysters. One day the captain asked Mir. Williams if it would not be possible to pack oysters in the shell so that they would keep few weeks. Mir. Williams guaranteed that if the oysters were placed in certain position and kept in an even temperature they would be good six weeks from the time of packing. The cap tain ordered quantity put up to take with him to England, and on the other side of the ocean they appeared to have improved in flavor. At present thousands of barrels are shipped almost daily, and the oyster trade with England will soon be an immense indus try. MT. Williams has the honor to originate it. The same dealer also first shipped oysters to San Francisco by rail.
