THE BROWN-HUBAR SUIT.

Case Given to the Jury-No Verdict Yet.
The hearing of the suit of II. T. Hubard
against J. Thompson Brown X Co was
resumed in the City Circuit Court yes
terday before Judge Barton.
Mr. Edgar Allan opened for the plain
tiif and spotc one hour. He was tol.
lowed by Major Alfred X. Courtney and
Captain John s Wise for the defendants,
Each spoke one hour, when recess was
taken for dinner, after which Colonel W.
W Gordon closed for the defense. He
also spoke one hour, the understanding
being that each side should have three
hours Mr Edgar Allan followed
Colonel Gordon and spoke two hours.
AT o o'clock the case was given to the
jury, who, after deliberating for over two
hours, were unable To agree, and were
adjourned over until this morning at 10
O'clock
In case it is finally found that the jury
is divided, there may be yet another trial.
In criminal cases where no verdict is rem
dered after three trials, the matter is con
cluded but In civil cases there is no
limit, and unless a compromise is effected
there can be a hundred or a thousand
retIials.
The indications at present are that the
Jury, IN this occasion, will agree to dis
agree, and whether the parties, plalnun
and defendant will be willing to undergo
the costs and other embarrassments OF
another sit ge remains to be seen

Sc iedam of the Rotterdam line arrived
at Jersey City on Sunday evening.
Among the last passengers TO leave her
was Miss Lillian Gross of this city. She

who took her to her home. Miss Gross
had been travelling in Europe, and was
returning home alone She boarded the
steamer at Amsterdam. She appeared
lively and well. The first day out she
became noticesbly morose. She refused
to speak to any one. On the morning OF
the second day the first officer Of the boat
heard scream In her cabin. He went to
the door, and the screaming being kept
up within, he burst 1t open. Miss Gross
stood in the centre of the room wild-eyed
and with dishevelled hair. Some Of the
furniture was broken and the chinaware
lay In pieces on the floor. She was vio
iently insane. The ships physician did
all he could for her, and 1t was necessary
TO keep her under close watch during all
the passage. 1t was hoped that her In
sanity was the indirect result of seasick.
ness and that she would soon recover
ashore.

A wOMAN's DOUBLE LIFE.
A Strange Case that Rivals the Story OF
"Dr. Jekyu and Mr.. HYDE"

'Dr. Jekyu ana M nvoe'
COLUMBUS, KAN, May 22.-The story
of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" is quite
OutdOne by a recent revelation OF the
story of Miss Clara Blalock OF this place.
Here is one Miss Clara Bialock, first a
promising school girl, graduating with
honor in the city school, and promoted
TO be teacher, and here is the same per-
son, the er-spirit of a dark conspi
racy against the lives and property OF
the citizens Of great stretch OF country.
The curious feature in the case is, that
while Clara, the school teacher, was per-
fectly good, Clara, the horse-thief, was
perfectly bad. The letters penned by the
came fair hand that wrote copies for the
children, are filled with the foulest and
most profane words, used with design in
a sort of cipher No wicked word ever
escaped the lips OF the school teacher, and
the while her brain must have been filed
with the DARKEST designs and fiendish
purposes. When she came to the school
house in the morning no shadow rested
on her brow from her guilty knowledge
that the night before business house
had been burned In the town by her ac-
completes, and when she had looked over
the children's examination papers and
filled out her school report, she sat down
to write directions where horses should
be stolen and whittier ia the darkness
they should be hidden to write pages In
hideOus jargOI Of the drama tnat finally
eliminated in murder.

WASHINGTON, May 22-The President
returned to the Senate to-day, without
approval, a bill paying $6O0to l.. j. War
den, late postmaster at Lawrence, Kan,
for clerk hire personally expended. He
says that such allowances are fixed by
the Postoffice Department. There are "A
cases, involving $4,000. similar 10 this,
and all will be disalo we'd.
In his message the President states that
this bill was returned during the recess
of the Senate last week, and both the
President Of the Senate and the Secre-
tary refused to receive IT, Mr.. Hoar said
the message calls attention to most i'm
pOrtant constitutional point, the power
of the President to transmit bills, with
or without his signature, during the re.
cess Of the Senate. He, therefore, moved
the reference OF the matter to the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections,
which was done.
Favorable reports were made on bills
for the construction OF railroad bridge
across the Arkansas river at Fort Smith,
and to provide pneumatic gun-carriages
for the War Department.
Dir. Blair introduced bill prohibiting
the making of pools on horse races, boat
races, or sports Of any kind In the Dis.
trct of Columbia. He stated that q bill
had recently passed the House prohibit
ing pool-making in the cities of Washing
ton and Georgetown. but the pool.
making continued just outside the city
limits, and this bill was intended to frus'
trate this evasion of the law.
A number of minor bills were intro
duced, When the Senate went into execu-
tive session.
The executive session lasted a hal.
hour. and the Riddleberger resolution to
consider The fisheries treaty In open ses-
sion was defeated by vote OF % to %.
The doors reopened at 2 o'clock, and
the Senate took up the bill establishing a
Department Of Labor.
THE HOUSE
Immediately after the reading OF the
journal TO day, Mr.. O'Neill, chairman OF
he Labor Committee, was recognized
and called up for consideration the bill
TO confine the sale OF the products OF
convict labor to the State wherein they
are produced.
Mr. O'Neill desired to limit debate to
two hours on each side, but several OBJ.
jections were made and Mr. Rogers de.
manded the reading OF the bill and re.
port. Mr. Outhwaite called for the read
ing of the minority report.
Mr.. Crisp In the meantime presented
the conference report on the bill 10 bridge
The Cape Fear, Black and North East
rivers In North Carolina, which was
,dopted.
An hour was consumed In reading the
reports, after which Mr.. O'Neill took the
door in favor of the bill
Mr.. Plumb believed that the measure
would interfere with the freedom Of
,rade between the States.
Mr. Rogers held that the bill was un-
constitutional.
After further and somewhat desultory
discussion Mr.. O'Nell proposed that the
general debate close at $3.50, but Mr..
Blount objected. Mr. O'Neill then agreed
hat Mr. Plumb should yield the remand
.r Of his time to Mr.. Butterworth.
Mr. Butterworth opposed the bill.
