A PREJUDIOED JURY.
10 Convictions Can be Obtained in West
Virginia Election Gases.

WHEELING, W. Va, March 21.-There
was a rather remarkable occurrence in
the United States court today, which
shows the futility of any further attempt
by the government to secure convictions
IN election cases, at least with the present
panel William Meyers, alleged to be a
minor was on trial and at $50 the jury
came into court and said there was no
possible chance O. an agreement being
reached. The court said it would send
them back, when Foreman O'Brien said
some OF the jury was willing TO convict II
they could be assured in advance what the
punishment would be. The court sharply
te1royed the jury for this attempt to COM
promise the case, whereupon the jury
retired and III five minutes returned a
verdict of not guilty. The sensation was
tremendous and the verdict is the talk of
the city tonight. 1t is not impossible that
no more cases will be tried by the district
attorney, although seventy indictments
are in his hands.

American Credit Abroad,

American credit appears to be at the ze-
NTH in Europe, particularly in Germany. A
returned traveller reports that Philadelphia
with his wife on their bridal tour admired a
ring in a jewelers. window in Nuremberg.
He asked to have it reserved for few days,
as he was not prepared to purchase it then.
'That makes no difference" said the jeweler;
''take the ring and my address and pay me
when you are ready" Afterward, having
paid for this, the same lady and gentleman
were admiring diamond studded watch and
some other articles. But we cannot pos
sibly buy them," they explained; 1--WE can't
spare the money" The jeweler was irresist-
ible. "Just take them home with you" he
said, land pay me in six months, year,
longer if necessary. You can have anything
in the shop" Yet all he knew about the
travellers was their names and their hotel.

dollars worth of goods to travelling Ameri-
