The ,Turv Unable tn Agrae.

In the Dr. TroWbridge case in Bridgeport yesterday the jury reported that they were unable to agree At 10 o'clock Judge Hitch. cock delivered his charge to the jury. It was much briefer than was generally expected lasting only about fifteen minutes. It was regarded as favorable to the accused, inas- much as the principal point dwelt upon was that corroborative evidence must relate to the act itself, and not to the attending cir cumstances or their history. It was con- else and instructive charge, and not one likely to dwell upon the minds of the jurymen, not being so intricate as to confuse. At quarter of twelve o'clock the jury filed in, their names were called, and reported that they had not been able to agree. The judge said that a fair and liberal trial had been had, and that from the evidence he thought they ought to be able to agree upon 6 verdict, and sent them back for reconsid- eration. la about an hour they returned and reported that they could not agree, and there were no prospects of coming to an agreement. They were accordingly dis charged It is understood that eight favored conviction and four were positive as to an acquittal. While the State consider that the grounds for conviction were very plain, the defense claim that those members in favor of acquittal are among the most influential and intelligent of the jury. This disagreement entities Dr. Trowhridge to a new trial.

Death of Joseph EngeI.

Joseph F. Engel, young man of fine promise and very popular with large circle of friends, passed away about 1 o'clock this morning at his home on State street. The deceased had been i'll for two years of con- sumption, but had not been confined to the house until few weeks ago. All that medi- cal skill and the attentions of loving friends could do was exerted in his behalf, but with out avail. The young man was one of the founders of the Adelphi Literary association, and was honored by his associates by being several times elected to office. He was an adopted son of Edward Engel, the broker on State street, but was loved by his foster par ents with all the affectionate devotion that could attach to child of their own flesh and blood. He had been given a good education in the public schools of this city, and also in the Business College. Few young men in the city had wider acquaintance, and he count ed 8 large circle of devoted friends. Mir. and Mrs. Engel will have the sympathy of many friends in their sad bereavement, who will learn with surprise and regret of the loss that has come upon them. The funeral will be on Sunday afternoon.

At another exhibition of the Hohenstein car coupler, held at the car shops of the Con- solidated railroad in this city yesterday fore noon, there were present several prominent railroad men, among whom were Mir.

The merits of the coupler were fully and practically tested, and in every important particular 1t was found to meet all the requirements. The success of the patent is without doubt beyond question, and it's general adoption by all railroad companies who care for the lives of their employees, be- sides looking after their interests from an economic point of view, in all probability will soon be the case. The necessity for an au- tomatic coupler has long been felt, and the Hohenstein, endorsed as it is by noted master mechanics and practical railroad men, ad- mlrably fills the bill
