 CHICAGO, May 1s.-The jury in the Dunn trial retired at 4:3O, after State Attorney Mills had made an eloquent closing plea for a verdict of murder in the first degree. Dunn was taken below and became extremely ner- vous Big beads of precipitation stood out on his forehead. Meanwhile great crowd had gathered in front of the court room spec ulating on the chances of conviction, ac' quittal and disagreement. At o'clock word was brought to Judge Smith. who had an- nounced his intention of keeping court open until midnight, that the jury had agreed. A few moments later they filed into court. Dunn scanned each face closely and then in response to the judge's orders mechanically rose to his feet. Amid breathless silence the foreman announced the verdict ''Not guilty" Dunn slightly flushed and 8 great shout went up from the court room and was taken up by the outside crowds. The prisoner was promptly discharged, and at this hour (1o p. m. is being taken on a round to his principal haunts accompanied by an immense crowd of gamblers, sports and toughs yelling and cheering uproarious- ly. It is reported that Dunn has just given man sound thrashing in Clayton's saloon. As the crowd reached Washington street Dunn met his friend Pat Shsedy and remarked ''We have played them even and won" When Clayton's saloon was reached stranger stopped, held ont his hand and said ssI congratulate you" Dunn responded with several profane epithets, 'I don't want anything to do with you,' at the same time striking out and dealing the stranger a heavy blow on the eye For few minutes there was a great deal of confusion, but matters quieted down, the crowd filed into the saloon and the celebration business was proceeded with.

MISS KELLOGG's FIRST SONG.
The Sensation She Created When Only
Nine Months Old
WuteFOury 4 IHerlc0n.

Mr. and Mrs. George Kellogg father and
mother of Clara Louise, are at the Bassett
House, in Birmingham, for a week. hay-
ing arrived unannOunced on Saturday.
Mrs. Kellogg is good deal out of health,
though conValeScing.
The circumstances attending the sing
ing of her first song by Miss Kellogg are
thus narrated by the mother:
'LOuise was but nine months old. We
had just buried little one in the South.
and had fled nOrthward to escape the in
tectiOn of disease there prevailing, very
fatal among the children. We brought
with us servant girl that had care of the
child, and was always singing a faVorite
song, couched in the quaint and queer
music of the plantation. One day little
Louise was sitting upon the floor when, to
my utter astOnishment, she commenced
singing in perfect time and tune the song
alluded to. which so frightened me that |
called out to my mother: The baby will
die! Oh, my God, the baby will diep
Mother came Fastening into the room.
expecting to find the child in the ago
nies of death, only to eXclaim: Non
sense! what ails your daughter? There is
nothing the matter with the child. See,
it is growing at you now.' But. mother
| exclaimed, that nine months babe has
been singing wonderfully the nurses song,
and it is going to die, l know it isr and |
went almost wild in my alarm. But the
baby did not die, and thank God that it
didn't, for it was born to bless-as only
music can bless-the hearts of a world.
This story of our daughters first song,'
said Mrs. Kellogg, however improbable,
judged by ordinary events, is nevertheless
strictly true. / could not account for it
at the time; | cannot fully do so now.
did not then know how to interpret so un-
usual happening except as a warming.
In the light of subsequent events l may
now perhaps guess at a more possible
solution -,

EPlfetd (Vd.) Correspondence Neao York Sun
The other day L was standing by a small
spring run, when | saw a crawfish COM
ing tail first down the stream. The craw-
fish is usually slow and cautious i'm his
movements, but this one was i'm a big
hurry. The stream was Obstructed bv q
recent storm. When the crawfish reached
the obstruction he did not appear at all
disconnected. He moved and acted as
though used to overcome such little diff
culties. After feeling about for a while
very gently with his tail and evident
ly looking for a hole he turned
around and moved slowly toward the
right bank, stopping occasionally to
push his claws through the cracks of the
sticks to see if they would not open wide
enough TO let him pass. He was disap-
pointed. With quick motion he re-
turned to the centre of the stream. Then
he slowly moved to the left bank, care
fully examining every inch of the way.
but with no better success. For the first
time he showed surprise, with a little
temper. He turned around and doubled
up his tail. 'Thump, thump, thump,"
went his tail against the obstruction.
He repeated the humping several times
and in as many places, but all to no pur-
pose. The dam stood fast. His next
effort deserved a better fate. Going
some distance up the stream he raised
from the bottom large round stone and
placed himself behind it. With the aid of
the current, he sent it whirling against
the obstruction. 1t shook the whole fabric
from one end to the other. But no breach
was made. No timbers gave wav. He
re-eXamined the works before he was con-
vinced that his last effort had been fail
ure. He hesitated as though uncertain
whether to renew the attack or raise the
siege. lie finally moved near to the shore.
where he appeared to take a scientific view
of things. He raised one claw out of the
water and extended it along the bottom
stick of the obstruction as though he
was trying to find the end. This he could
not do, for the end rested too far out on
the embankment. Appearing to be much
dissatisfied, he gave sudden flap with
his tail, and, with a bound, sent himself
clear across the stream to the other shore.
Here he repeated the experiment and an
parently with better result. After he had
carefully examined the end of the stick
he slowly and thoughtfully returned to
the opposite side. Going up the stream
about three feet ne began to build dam.
One end rested high up on the
bank, while the other went sIOp-
ing downward toward the centre
OF the stream. What all this was for
at tirstI could not conceive. Soon the
water began to rise. In a little time II
was running around the abutment. The
sand began washing and cavIng in. Pres
emily the end of the bottom stick fell in
the water with a splash. Another and
another followed, the current sweeping
them around like door on hinges. Soon
the whole structure fell and went floating
down the stream. The craWfish went
sailing triumphantly down the stream.
AS he passed by with a nod of his head |
thought heard him say Science
