OF the verdIct-IIoW the Trial Impress.
cd the Twelve Men in the Box.
WASHINGTON, January 2G.-Langley, the
fourth juror impaneled, in telling the story
ofthe verdict yesterday,said "Wewere not
long in getting our verdict ready. We were
fifty minutes absent from the court room,
and half an hour Of that time was taken
up in reading the indictment. We took
two ballots. On the first we stood eleven
for conviction and one blank. That was
east by the German, who was n little
doubtful on one point and wanted to be
instructed. He did not understand the in
structions as to the question OF insanity
thoroughly. 1t only took moment to
satisfy him, and then when ballot was
taken We were unanimous for conviction. +"
He was asked il he had heard that tho
public were, for time, fearful that one ol
the jurors was going to hang the jury. lie
said: "Yes, heard that since / left Inc
court room. We thought our-elyes foT .
while that one man would stand out again. I
all the Others, but it was only for n III @.
We did not express any opinion to each
other during the trial, but / think we ri
knew pretty well what the general feeling
was"
Being asked to give some idea as to how
THE EvESrs OF TIE TRIAL IMPRESSED rIrE
JURY,
particularly the interruptions Of Guiteau
and the speeches, he said: 'Tt was all very
tedious. There was so much that was gone
over. The lawyers kept telling us day after
day Of things We were tired Of hearing. We
did not mind Guiteau's interruptions, and
we understood that Judge Cox was giving
him liberty so as not to have another trial.
Guiteau amused us sometimes. Hetook on
at terrible rate to-day, and gave Judge
Porter great deal Of abuse. As to the
speeches, think Judge Porters Impressed
the jury the most, but none OF the lawyers
speeches had any influence with us, We
made up our minds from the evidence ant
from the instructions. We listened to SEQ
vile with interest. He did very well, AMI
stood up for Guiteau manfuiiy, but HI
could not make anything out OF the case
Judge Cox's instructions were clear ant

He was asked what his personal opip.o:
OF Guiteau was. Hereplied:

BRITISH PRESS OPINIONS,

LONDON, January 26.-The Standard,
Daily Telegraph, Morning Pos, Daily Ntus
and Times express satisfaction at the con-
viction Of Guiteau, but all with more Or
less severity criticise the conduct of the
trial. -
The Daily Ntus says; at is doubtful
whether Guiteau himself expected any
other result. If he did the fact would be a
stronger evidence Of unsettled intelligence
than amy brought forward during the in
quiry." All the newspapers not only ex.
press one opinion as TO the verdict Of the
jury, but are certain it will be unanimously
approved

 AUGUSTA, ME, Jan. 26.-A frst-class sen- sation, embodying romance, horse thieving, and escapades enough to thrill with delight the brain of the trash novel reader, culmi- mated in thisss city to-day. The principal actors are one Charles B. Farren, of Somer- vile, Mass, and girl named Annie M. Hal lowell, who for years has lived in the family of A. P. Bowle town clerk of Somerville
 Last October Farren carried the girl to 8 point near Belfast, whither she proceeded by stage, and obtained work in a family. Three or four days later Farren went to Belfast and had an interview with the girl, who is only seventeen years old and quite prepossessing- After the interview Farren walked to Sears port and hired team of MT. Chute to go to Searsmount, but instead went to Belfast, got the girl, who left at three in the afternoon without giving any notice to the family, and 1 together they drove to Skowhegan, a distance of seventeen miles, stopping with Mir. Fox, a | relative of Farren. They staid here for a | month or more visiting various towns Ill the vicinity Finally the girl was engaged as l | to work in the stable. The man now sold | the horse and carriage to c. s. Wood | a stable keeper, for $25 in money, an old l watch and note for $40. The note he l burned after his arrest The pair remained l at Skowhegan until the Sth of this month, | when Farren hired team of James Hayes for an hour and taking the Hallowell girl with him started for Clinton, staying there one night. He then proceeded to Charles l M Farren's, the young mans father, in land, stopping at the towns of Edgecomb, of time during the journey. After the couple had been away from Skowhegan two days Officers Mayo and Pooler started in pursuit and finally arrested the pair II Rockland last night. They stopped II
 this city en route to Skowhegan with
 the prisoners. An officer slept in the room
 with the prisoners all night and about
 o'clock this morning locked them into tho
 room and went to order breakfast and hi
 team. He was gone about twenty minutes
 but during this time both the girl and mar
 jumped from the window to the pavemen
 twenty feet below and struck out for thu

 very cold. Farren had sprained hi
 ankle in the jump, but managed t'

Terrible Death in a Paper MiII,

Richard Downes, of Burnside, aged F years, was caught in the shafting at the mill of Walker & Son, Wednesday afternoon, and received injuries from which he died almost immediately. Downs was picking rags and it is supposed his apron was wet and in some way fell across the shaft. In such circum- stances it would wrap round it at once and he would be drawn over at each revolution. This is exactly what happened, and before the shaft could be stopped he had made 8 number of these terrible revolutions. As the shaft is only twenty-one inches above the floor, he was dashed violently against it every time he went over. When it was stopped he was stln alive and spoke once or twice, begging to be cut loose, but he sur vived only few moments. He was terribly crushed and had number of bones broken.

The Ministry Throw Up Their Places.
 PARIS Jan. 26.-In the Chamber of Depu- ties to-day, the bill for the revision of the constitution coming up for consideration, the discussion became so animated that a force of police was called in and remained during the session. The previous question having been moved on the bill and defeated the min- istry at once rendered their resignations. M. Gambetta also rendered his resignation as president of the council and will hereafter sit as deputy. President Grevy upon receiving the resignations of the ministry called upon M. Defreycinet to form a new Cabinet. There is great excitement throughout the city to- night.
 In addressing the chamber on the bill Gam betta, who spoke from the tribune, insisted that unless both chambers agreed on the revision there could be no congress and that if the congress met it must uphold the scr1t- tn de Este. He himself would challenge the vote of the congress, not fearing dissolution of the chambers. A vote was then taken on the bill and the government was defeated by a vote of 2S2 to 227. Upon the announce ment of the result Gambetta at once declared that this meant the granting of powers to congress of an unlimited right in revision of the constitution and he thereupon rendered his resignation president of the council retaining his seat as deputy.
