A PRIVATE CONFERENCE,

This concluded the evidence and Coroner Metcalf ordered the room cleared, as the jury desired to hold private consultation. The order was obeyed and the seats were soon va- cant, the jury with their attorneys being left alone. The large corps of reporters betook themselves to shady location and in a very suggestive way rehearsed ''the days of their boyhood" After an hour and 8 quarter of this pastime juror was seen emerging from the stairway on the opposite side of the street and the reporters ''schooP' was sud- denly closed. It was found that the jury had taken another adjournment subject to the call of the coroner, and at this writing it is impossible to tell when the verdict will be rendered, perhaps not till after the report is made concerning the chemical analysis.

THE FAN THE

In the course of the second drive that Jen- nie Cramer ever took with the Malley boys and Blanche Douglass, James Malley gave her fan. She lost it on the same night, and Blanche lost bracelet. The next time they went to drive together James gave Jennie another fsn-a white fan with ivory sticks and swan's-down plumes. This fan Jennie had with her when she remained away from home on the night of Wednesday, Aug. 8. Next morning, when she returned to her home, in company with Blanche Douglass, she left her fan and her parasol and went away again without them. She took, how eyer, another fan, common one with jap anned sticks, lead bordering, and silver sprays and birds on the sides. This fan was not found with the body, and 1t has been in- dustriously sought after by half dozen de- tectiyes. On Thursday fan was brought from the shore, and Mrs. Cramer identified it as the one which Jennie took with her from home. It is said that it throws positive light on the whereabouts of the girl just prior to her death. The fan shows no traces of hav- ing been in the water. It was among 8 lot of other lost fans at the horse railroad office

stormy Scene Between COnAlIag and
State Senator MsGd II,

New York, June 24-The Times
4 1bany special says About 10 o clock
Senator Conkling took a walk
through the hall of the Delavan and
furnished material for an entertain
ing paragraph. A few days ago
there appeared in the Times dis
patches from Albany a statement
made by Senator Madden, in which
the outrageous course of Conkling in
resigning, and then persisting in de-
handing reelection, against the
positive opposition Of the Repub-
licans Of the State, was very
vigorously condemned. 1t seems
probable that Conkling must
have read this and other outspoken
declarations of Senator Madden. As
he walked along the hall tonight in
company with Platt, Senator Madden
passed. He did not stop but bowed,
and went by, mercy saying, Good
evening" Conkling turned and, Sen
ator Madden looking back and OBJ
serving the movement, returned to
COnkling, and was about to extend
his hand. The imperious ex Senator
did not return the courtesy.
"No," said he, II will not shake
hands with you"
"Why not 2" asked Senator Mad>
den.
eff you were not a senator I
would tell you something, but =
Hang it, said Senator Madden,
or words to that effect, clay that all
aside. Don't mind senatorial dig
nifty speak right out. I'm a plain
man clear through, all the way
through" The ex-senior United
States Senator, still standing at
respectful distance from the rugged
State senator, who was impaliently
humping the floor with his cane,
and stroking his gray beard with his
free hand, eyed Madden keenly, and
then attempted to reprove him for
his criticisms, and particularly fer
having said that he (Conkling) was
here button-holing members and So
Letting their votes.
Senator Madden heard the COM
plant and then blurted out, I'm
not so polite as some men, and per-
haps spoke too bluntly. I go across
lots instead of going round. You
don't suppose [ meant you were
twisting buttons off mems coats, do
you?
The ex-senator listened. Plat
waited. Madden, bold as lion, did
not wait to be invited, but kept on,
" You know what words mean; you
came back here seeking vindication !;
to say you were button -holing men
here may not have been accurately
true, but you are here seeking vim
dication. Ispoke of you in public
as public MAJ clear through. If
you think I spoke of you Extensively,
it's a great mistake all the way
through"
"But I would not have said such
a thing of you, protested Conkling,
and then he turned to go.
Il tell you the truth when I
speak" said Senator Madden, "and
that is more than some men dare to
do. You know yourself that, four
teen long years ago, you told me l
was the only man who dared to tell
you the truth clear through, and I
believe it's true now"
The ex-senator held out his hand
hesitatingly, and Madden, who is
not an unforgiving man, took it.
"Good night, said he, and the
Senator bowed dramatically and

Our City Library.

For several years q number of our worthy
young men, and a few not quite so young,
Rave labor9d patiently and zealously, to
build up public library. They have not
achieved all they wished to, but they have
succeeded admirably, considering the small
means placed at their command They
have received no large donations, but have
added to the numbey of volumes in the lib
rary by means of small donations and have
kept up their expenses by the monthly dues
paid by the members of the association.
The library is not what it should be by any
means, and yet it is nothing to be ashamed
Of. even at the safe it has been gaining, in
course of time it will assume large porpor-
tons, and then those who have labored with
so much patience and perseverance, will look
back upon their labors with pride and salts
faction
But it all looks lik slow work now and not
altogether encouraging. We trust that one
of these days as times and business improves,
and as our prudent and energetic business
men grow rich, some of them will mortal
ize themselves by making few liberal dona-
tions to the library, sufficient to enable the
association to purchase property, erect a
new and commodious building constructed
for the special purpose and filing its shelves
with thousands of choice volumes. Knox
vile aspires to the distinction of an educa-
tional centre, and a movement of that kiud
would add largely 10 our claims to such a
distinction.
It is to much to expect fust yet perhaps
but We trust those who have the library in
charge will not weary in well doing, and we
believe these handsome donations come in
by and by.
