stampede Of JurymeE Who De.
cided the Case.
Special to Commercial Gazette.

bfSNAoA " NvhahSAoldA NohtNtos
PITTsBURG, Pa, March 16.-A
Uniontown special says The twelve
jurymen are blaokeued forever.
Thomas BOwberry, Of Tyrone, has
been discharged BY EyersoD, Mocrum
X Co., proprietors Of the large rolling
mill at SeOttdale. They told him his
services we're no longer wanted, and
be could seek work elsewhere among
men of his equal, if he@eouId find
them. @. W. Breakiron, another OF
the jurors, BY the way, cannot write
his own name, and belongs to one Of
the most ignorant families in the
county. He drew his pay, and
sneaked out Of the back door Of the
Courthouse, took the back streets
TO the country, and tie last
heard of him he was neal log the foot
Of the mountains, in the direction
of Delany's Cave. Jacob AMAZON,
who stopped in Brownsville on his
way home, was given Eve minutes to
skip the town, which he did in less
time, aud has not been heard of. This
is the man who stated he did not want
to be on the jury in the Low trial, but
did wGnt to be on the jury that was to
try Dukes. The jury now claim to
have psde up their verdict from the
quibbling point that Dukes, when he
wrote Elose letters, was a friend to
Mutt, and that he had no intention Of
killing him, but after the latter had
been sent Dukes became alarmed and
changed his mind. then went and
bought a revolver to defend himse II
should Captain Mutt attack him,
throwing all evidence aside, and
yielding to a point not in the evidence
but was made by counsel for defend
ant in bis argument. 1t is rumored
around here, yet quietly, that all is
not ended. Something more will grow
out of this tragedy and legal farce OF
which so much has been said. 1t is
|aid that Dukes escaped from Union
town to German Township in female
attire.

special says: N. L. Dukes, the muir
derer of Captain Mutt, is at his moth

A reporter visited him this after
noon, to whom he expressed great sat
isfaCtion for the verdict He also
stated that he contemplated claiming
his seat in the State Legislature, and
will remain in the county and practice
law.
Another dispatch says: Jacob W.
Amalong, one of the jurors who tried
Dukes, was assaulted on the streets of
Belleyernon, this evening, and so
badly beaten that his life is despaired

Tabor's wedding.
Peoria Journal.

JVAIuuAs
The priest who united Tabor and
his wife-his second wife--in wedlock
in Washington City, is doing all he
can to undo his work. He has re
turned the 500 fee that Tabor paid
him, aud is taking steps to have the
proceedings declared null aud void
The marriage was a farce at the best
as there had been a civil one per-
formed before in St. Louis. In the
meantime Tabor is making himself
solid with his wife's relatives. he
has set the father up in business, and
has given his mother in law $75 900
A year before he obtained bis
divorce he offered the first Mrs
Tabor a million dollars to he freed
from the oh uns that held him. She is
an estimable woman. but she loved
Tabor in spite of his waywardness, and
refused to accept his offer. Finally
his in6delities drove her to ask relief
ia spite OF herself. 1t is thought in
Denver that he tempered with her
lawyers, for they accepted the divorce
for half million The money that
he saved on his first wife he is lavish
ing on the new one. The marriage in
Washington was a queer affair. A
great many people were invited to the
ceremony, but few to the supper. The
President attended, but very few
other dignitaries. A. lavish display
was made Of the Senator's night shirts
aud clothes. but the bride did not
exhibit her trousseau, and was invisi
Die even to the help about the house,
Altogether it was singular perform
ance, showing that if Tabor is not
clean daft he certainly deserves the
appellatiOn Of being an old fool.

Theatre Properties.

The properties, as they arc termed, of
the theatre, that Is, the unused scenery
and also the machinery and fixtures of old
performances, gradually form, an immense
accumulation. The machinery used IN
"Sarianapalus" was of very great bulk,
and Is now stored in the rear of tho thea
tire, where 1t may remain till called for.
The storage room III the Booth Theatre is
OF vast extent, and embraces an accumula-
ton which, no doubt, cost one hundred
thousand dollars. 1t ID In this manner that
tho profits are so often sunk A play must,
before it can be called profitable, pay for
the expense of getting it up, and henco a.
large risk Is taken. ''Sardanapaus" IS
said to have cost thirty thousand dollars,
but rs the play had run the outlay prov
cd first rate investment After few
years 1t may be revived and have another
run. AT present, however, it is almost
| forgotten. There Is at the present ime
| scenery OF more than ono hundred PLAYS
lying idle, and most of it will be painted
over, Scene painters are now very busy,
and the artists make fifty dollars per eek.
They work with rapid touch, and acquire
great skill In this specially. The drop cur.
