drunk and in no condition to listen to,
much less understand, evidence or argu-
ment in the star route case. The episode
Of to-day is simply outrageous. While
the jury were being polled, j. II. Yer
non, one of their number, suddenly ut
tered an unearthly yell and fell in a fit
to the floor among a pile of chairs. The
scene following beggars description. He
WAS removed To an ante-room and found
to be suffering from an attack Of deliri-
UNI tremens. All sorts Of rumors were
quickly afioat, but it was soon establish
ed that since his service began Vernon
has been drinking very heavily. His
associates have had considerable trouble
i'm keeping him awake while evidence
was being given. After drinking a pint
Of whisky he was enabled TO return to
the court room 1t appears that he was
deprived of his daily allowance Of liquor
and was very sick last night in conse-
qnence. DIR. Somers thought that the
intense heat Of to-day might have preci-
plated the attack, especially as the
mans constitution was too shattered To
stand the sudden strain caused by cut
ting off his liquor. In view of these
facts and statements the court instructed
the marshal to ALLOW Vernon three
drinks a day while he continued to serve
on the jury.

c. II. Hobart, superintendent the
Yellowstone Park Improvement com.
pany arrived i'm st. Paul from Chicago
on the 14th, and left the next morning
for the park. He stated, to a Tribune
reporter that the mammoth Hot Springs
hotel would be completed by the Goth of
July. The building is four stories high,
has a frontage Of 414 feet and Il depth OF
GO, and will accommodate 500 people. 1t
will be furnished entire by st. Paul par
ties at a cost Of about $4,000. The
management Of the hote. has not yet
been definitely decided upon, but it;is
rumored hat w. S. Wilkinson Of the
Hoffman House, New York, will be
placed in charge and ifthis is true, tour
lists to the park need ask no more. The
grading Of the Yellowstone branch is
progressing rapidly towards the NAM
moth hot springs and will be completed
within 20 days and the ironing is not
much behind. Supt. Hobart says that
tourists are already beginning to flock
into the park and over 100 are now
camped near the hotel.

markable phase Of the star route situa-
ton was presented today, and it's result
Is likely to sweep away the months of
labor and to v~itiate, if not entirely de-
stroy, the anticipated results of a long
and expensive trial. A juror with the
delirium tremens is not a pleasant spec
tacle to contemplate under any circum-
stances; but a Juror who has arrived at
this stage of inebriety during the trial
OF a canse which has taxed intellectual
soberness to its fullest capacity to under
stand is a more remarkable and disa-
greeable spectacle still. There is the
eeverest %reprobation Of the govern

tremens, has been drunk i'm the Jury

in the bend Of the river, when his chain
caught in a bush and threw his watch
into about twelve feet of water, and he
was about two hours finding it. When
he got it out it was running and he

ments, OH House joint and concurrent
resolution No. 10, better known as the
prohibition amendment. The report
was adverse to the proposed amend

ment: "Provlded: That the l~esisla.

effect shall make provision ,or the re-
endorsement OF brewers, dis,illers and
others, for the losses they sustain
through the enforcement of this pro.
vision" Mr.. Parker. of Lincoln, then
moved to lay the amendment GU the
table. The ayes and noes were called
aud the motion to lay upon the table
prevailed by a vote OF 6S to 50. This,
Of course, defeated the measure, as the
bill was thereby laid upon the table
with the amendment, whence 1T can
only be taken this session BY a two
