AN OLD AND FALSE RuMoR REVIVED,

A Philadelphia newspaper yesterday revived the
rumor that the express business Of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad. which is now done by an
auxiliary company would be transferred to the United
states Express Company. The present relations be-
tween the Adams and the Philadepbia and Reading ex
press companies so intimate that II the rumor wero
true the interruption would be considered victory
for The United States company. John Hoey president
Of tho Adams company. said that there was no truth

CHOKED THE JUROR
As q Result There Will be A
 Cronin Verdict To-Day.
RUMoRs OF VARIOUS CoLoRs
A Belief that the Jury Will Find the Fiv
 Prisoners Guilty.

Tho Reealcitrant Juror Has 2 Hard Time
 With His Companions-Culver May Yet
 Hold Out on a Question of Punishment
 How the Prisoners Feel Over the Long
 Delay.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 1j.-A verdict will un- doubtedly be rendered in the Cronin case to day.
 The impossibility has been accom- pllshed, but not without extraordinary eleven, and a very sensational epi sode. Culver had for the thousandth time announced that he could not vote for the extreme penalty. His comrades, long ago disgus ted, were unable to ad- vance new thoughts or attempt new ex- pedients to bring the recalcitrant m em- Der to terms when big Juror Marlow, red in the face, arose, and, striding up to Culver, asked if anything on earth could move his fixed determina- tion.
 Receiving negative reply Harlow stripped off his coat in an instant, with his fists clenched, sprang upon Culver, bore him to the knees, and In his rage might have choked him but for the in terference of Juror Clark and others The excitement blew over. and shortly afterward Marlow apologized for his haste and was forgiven. Then Culver began to waver, and finally voted for conviction. Of course, Culver may yet hold out on the question of punish ment, but as he has weakened on the main question it is expected that he will see the error of his way and vote With the majority, so that verdict may be reached to-day.

X Visit tO the Prisoners

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-A visit was made to the jail with view to ascertaining 2 how the prisoners were getting on. The reporter was permitted to penetrate beyond the cage and was conducted along the corridor wherein large black figures announce the numbers of the cells occupied by the famous prisoners.
 Burke, the first seen, had his coat off and was sitting close to the door of his cell reading paper, and occasionally y conveying a half-caten slice of bread and butter to his mouth. He seemed more intent upon the discussion of the literary than the substantial portion of his repast.
 He said he had slept well, but prcsist- en1y declined to be interviewed, and beyond brief nod in answering to tn e good orning greeting of the reporter paid no attention to the persence of his visitor.
 OSulllvan'S appearance was that of a man who had passed restless and un- easy night. Whilst the extreme pallor of his countenancc was not so evident in the gloomy atmosphere of the prison as in the full glare of the sunny court room, still to those who had seen him freqently of late a marked alteration was only too evident. His attitude was that of man ill at ease, and it was only by great exercise of the will that he was able to assume even an outward show of indifference.
 How have you slept, MT OSulli- van?"
 Looking in a dreamy way out over the reporters shoulders through the bars, the iceman replied, in a half mech anical way, Pretty we'll, thanks, " and then added, At least, as we'll as I could be expected. It's an anxious time for us all, of course" Dan Coughlin appeared to have got ten over his nervous fit and seemed to nerve himself for the coming ordeal. ':Of course, the suspense is dreadful, ;" he said. but we can't hasten matters We all feel that our case has been eX- cellently handled and everything done that could be done. There is nothing for it now but to wait.'
 Beggs was lying on his bed. He re- fused to say anything.
 show of appetite. He looks decidedly hopefully of an acquittal. He wished | it understood that when few days ago he rose from his chair and exclaimed l "God knows l am innocent" that it I was not done for effect, but was an irrepressible and spontaneous eXclam. ation on his part.
 As the reporter passed out the last | thing he saw was O'Suilivan's pale face pressed close up to the door of his cell and Martin Burke was still engaged mechanically with his bread and | butter.

EuOODSHED IN BRAZIL.
Officers Who Refused to Submit to Il
 Republic Shot in Prison,

Officers Who Refused to Submit to the
 Republic Shot in Prison,
 NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Additional news of the overthrow of Dom Pedro was brought by the steamship Horrox, which arrived at Martins stores, Brooklyn. She left Rio Janeiro on November 25. At Santo when the neWs of the depos- ing of tho Emperor was first an nounced, the inhabitants were inclined to disbelieve it. The republicans dis tributed hand bills on which were printed the official information, and a request to the people not to hold any political meetings. The situation was accepted without any dissatisfac tion.
 At Rio Janeiro Captain Hening heard many rumorS which indicated that the people had not received the news of the revolution With that degree of cGlmneSS which characterized the acI.ons of the inha bitants of the Santos. Sennor de Gama, a collector of customs and a strong Imperiaiist, refused to sur render the flag of the Empire, and also to remove from his uniform tho but tons, on which was stamped the crown. Two days after De Gama submitted. While De Gama was holding out a small party of repu blicans surrounded the house and tried to set fire to it and riddle it's inmates With bullets. De Gama was not deprived of his office.
 On the second day of the revolution a cipher dispatch was received at Rio Ja- neiro announcing that there had been an uprising in Bahia; that a fight had taken place between the militia and that 300 people had been killed. Cap tain llenlnG said that tho Government t stopped all cipher telcgraphic commU nication and placed strict watch on all the ordinary messages that were sent over the wires. So complete were the arrangements that when the republic was announced all of the imperial war vessels in tho harbor were in such q po- sitiOn that It was impossible for them to participate in any uprising that might occur.
 On the first night of the revolution several naval officers de!ied the author ity of tho new government. They so cured a boat, rowcd out into tho har- bor, holding alofU an imperial flag. 4 party of republicans gave chase, and shots Nero exchanged. Tho naval oili : uers were captured and incarcera ted in a prison on one of the small islands in the harbor. The general belief is that they were shot, as the discharge of fire arms was heard in the prison the next day.
