Amasa stones requests Settled.

CLEVELAND. June 12.-The heirs under the
provisions of the Amasa Stone will were paid
their bequests on Saturday. The property
of the deceased will realize at least SIS, 000-
600, outside OF the losses in iron and steel
channels The extra 100000 left condition
ally by Mr.. Stone to Adelbert College if the
estate realized So, 100000 will consequently
be safe for the college. The payments were
made very early, but it is said that the ex-
ecutors found money accumulated on
every hand only ready to be taken in. All
the investments of Mr.. Stone are especially
good ones

THE JURY.


A Verdict Not Expected for Several Days
Discussion Not Yet Begun
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June II. - The star-route
jury retired much as other juries retire,
that is to say, the jurors got up and walked
out in charge of bailiff From the moment
they left the court until 10 o'clock they re-
mained in Imprisonment, and subsequent to
that hour they were as isolated from COM
muncation from the outer world as if they
were on desert island. Various sensational
rumors were ahoat in regard TO jury
bribing and the like and the wiseacres
were numerous who knew exactly what the
verdict was going to be. In point of fact, TIE
jurors themselves haven't the remotest idea
what the verdict is going to be-officially-
that is, they did not begin the consideration
OF the case tonight Up to IL o'clock they
had done nothing except to gossip and sing
songs, Two or three of them expressed de-
sire for pack of cards, and the pasteboards
not being forthcoming, they fell to chanting
Wat till the clouds roll by" and
other cheerful melodies. Any stories that
may be ahoat in regard to agreement on a
verdict at this stage are the sheerest fabrica-
ton. No verdict has been reached, and, as

Iniury 10 SCHOOL ChlIdren.

A German physician Of the very
highest reputation, DR.. Treichler, has
recently sounded a note of alarm to
the effect that i'll directed and excess.
I've brain wor ( is inhictine serious in
jury to school children. In a paper
read before the German association
OF natural historians and physicians
he claimed that habitual headache
was greatly increased of late among
boys and glrls,and that this headache
not only destroys much of the hsppi.
ness and cheerfulness of life, but that
It produces impoverishment of the
blood and loss of intellectual tone. +"
Undoubtedly" he says, the princi-
pal causes OF the headache is intel.
lectual overtaxation entailing work at
night, and the insisting by parents on
the too earnest taking up of a variety
OF subjects, music among the rest. .
Another is "a state of dilation of the
blood vessels of the brain, by which
the removal Of the effete material and
the repair Of the nervous tissues are
both seriouslyimpeded." He also SAYS
that The method of instruction now.

disease, but also perfectly useless, be.

have been learnt in the day." The
Chicago Tribune notes it as a little
remarkable that an eminent American
physician, who has long been inter.
ested In educational matters, recently
gave expression to almost identicslly

suggests, the concurrence of sncb

TlrusvrLLE, January l0.-The annual

Limited, which took place on Wednesday,
resulted, as previously telcgraphed: John
Sat,erileld, President; T. S. Mcfarland,
Treasurer; u. u. Stewart, Secretary; F. u.
Gowen and James b. Keene were elected
to act with the others as board Of mana
gers. The outgoing officers are: B. D.
Benson, A. n. Perrin and i. L. Hopkins.
The latter are making objections and have
barricaded tho offices in the Ralston and
Harrington block. The employees, 1t Is
alleged, were told that the election was
illegal, and a movement OF the Stand
ard, and that they would all be
thrown out OF employment. Mckelvey

twenty armed employees inside the Office
last night, leaving four armed men in the
hallway. The doors were bairicaded all
night and preparations made for an assault.
Upon investigation It seems that there
never was any intention on the part oil the
incoming officers 10 take possession by
force. They have simply notified all con-
cernCd OF their legal election and the busi-
ness OF the Tidewater is now carried on In
the offices OF Taylor and Sattetield. The
allegation that the Standard influenced
this election is denied BY the incoming
officers, who claim that the Standard knew
nothing Of the movement and have abso-
lutey no connection whatever with It. The

WASHINGTON, January l0.-A good story
is told ut the Capitol to-day, pertinent tc
the Civil Service Bill. A very estimablt
woman, so far as character is concerned
was sent with high recommendations tt
Senator Vest, Of Missouri, for position
in one OF the Departments. Understand
ing that clerical position was what wai
wanting, the Senator told her to make hel
application in writing. Next day the
good woman brought her formal appli-
Cation. The Senator and n friend looked
over It, and concluded that 1t clearly show
ed the writer incompetent for the position
sought. She was informed Of the verdict,
and said with burst Of tears: "Now, see
how easy It IL to make q mistake. That
was written by a person high up in the
Department. As for myself, cam
write at all."
