THE JURY STILL IN A DEADLOCK.
The Crisis in Montana.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 1i.-The dead
lock in the senate has reached the stage
where, under the law, something must
be done. Under the territorial law,
which is still in effect, members of either
branch of the legislature must take the
oath and enter upoa their duties within
thirty days after he date set for the
meeting of the Sody OF which they are
members, or their Office becomes vacant,
and the governor may order a new elec-
ton. This thirty day limit has now ex.
PRED, and the Offices of the Montana
democratic senators who have not yet
qualified, are under the law vacant.
This afternoon a conference was held
between the democratic and republican
senators, and the former agreed
that on Monday morning they
would either go into the senate
or resign their offices. The latter will
probably be the course taken. as, If the
democrats GO in with the republicans,
the latter can go into joint session with
the republican representatives, and elect
two United States senator's. There are
only one or two democratic senators Who
advocate the policy OF qualifying, while
the five illegal members from Silver
Bow are allowed to sit in the republican
house and they will undoubtedly be
guided by the majority. The sentiment
Of the democratic party, senatorial can
didates and all, is against the demo
cratic senators helping to organize the
senate until the republicans obey the
governors proclamation, meet in the
court house, and purge themselves OF
the Tunnel precinct members. So
strong is this feeling that IL seems
scarcely probable that any democratic
senator will dare disobey 1t, and thus
aid the republicans to consummate the
work inaugurated by the Silver Bow re-
turning board.

NO VERDICT YET
The Cronin Jury Not Yet
Prepared to Return a
Verdict.
The Court Room Surrounded
by a Great Throng of
People.
The Sentiment Seems 20 BE That the
Jury will Disagreed Rumor
That O'SuiIivan and Burk
Are Convicted.
The Cronin Jury.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE court has not
yet convened, the jury having sent word
to Judge Mcconnell that it Is not yet
prepared to return a verdict. 1t is given
out that an agreement has been reached
as to all except Beggs.
Up to moo nothing has been an
nounced in the Cronin case. The jury
was still out and there vas nothing to
indicate that it had reached a verdict.
The criminal court vas surrounded by
a great throng Of people a~nxions to hear
the first word from the jury 1t
was announced last night that the court
would convene at 10 o'clock this morning
Ten o'clock arrived but no jury came
in. At 1915, 1890, l0:45 and IL o'clock
there was still nc jury. The crowd
outside the court Dom was rapidly
swelling and as the morning wore on
they became impatient. Shortly before
IL o'clock Judge Mcconnell asked n
Of the baliffs if the jury showed any
signs Of being ready TO report.
He was informed they had not.
The Judge then retired to his private
room. The general sentiment seems to
be that the result will be disagreement
though, of course, this is based on con-
lecture. During the morning a report
gained currency hat the jury had con-
victed O'Sullivan and Burke, Burke and
Coughlin TO hang and given Beggs and
kunze terms in the ~penitentiary. This
proved to be premature, but it caused
great excitement before the falsity OF
the report was discovered.
The rumor that the jury stood II TO l
for the conviction of Coughlir, OSulli-
van and Burke that was started last
night. was revived this morning, and in
the rumor was contained the insinua-
ton that the one recalcitrant juror had
been bribed. ''Such an ~insinuation is
untrue. There is nothing in it." said
Judge Mcconnell, when spoken to about
the matter. At IL o'clock Judge Nc
Connell adjourned court until 2 p. IN.
THE JURY STILL IN A DEADLOCK.
CHICAGO. Dec. 14.-2:20 p. NAT this
writing information from the most au'
thentic source is that the jury is in the
same deadlock they were at IL O'Clock
last night. 1t is o pretty certain the
jury is divided in a proportion of IL &c
/. Whether the disagreement extends
beyond a mere question OF guilt, OF
whether it relates to the question o.
penalty cannot positively be stated.

An Incendiary Hotel Fire.

KANSAS CRY, Dec. 14.-Oficer Morlan
~ IN early hour yesterday morning saw
flames issuing from the third story in
the Oklahoma house. Rushing up stairs.
he went to the room in which the fire
was, broke in the door, and, dragging
from bed Mrs. McKennon, carried her
down stairs and to the street in an un-
conscious condition. Rushing back, he
gave the alarm to all the inmates, ten
in all. OF these James Russell was
burned to death, and Mamie Logan,
Jack Smith, Zeelah Barrett and Charles
Mo0rehout sustained injuries from
iumping from the fourth-story window.
They were removed to the hospital and
will O
The coroner began an investigation
into the cause OF the fire and the EVIL
dence given pointed so directly to
Charles Merchants guilt that he was
held as an i~ncendiary. Merchant was
the cook in the hotel and had been dis
charged for drunkenness. He threat
ened revenge on Edward Rankin, the
proprietor.

when next he disc used Toms glowing
virtues in Toms presence, that when
Toms brief and brilliant career was
ended his tombstone would bear the in-
scription:

A sURFElT or HORRORS.
why the Johnstown Theater Disaster
Caused but Little Comment Locally.

why the JOhhstoNn EhfateF y
Caused but Little Locally.
JoHNsTowN. Pa, Dec. 1.-THE in
v~estigation into the cause OF the thea
ter disaster was concluded last night
shortly before midnight, and a verdict
rendered that death was caused in each
case by suffocatton in a jam resulting
from a panic precipitated by a false
alarm of fire in the Park opera house
during a performance. The jury also
found that owing to the insufficient
number of exits, the and
faulty construction of the only one to
the house, the building was entirely I'M
safe for any public gathering, and re-
quested the authorities TO take proper
measures to prevent any public assem-
blies in the building as now constructed,
Visitors TO Johnstown were forcibly
struck by the with which the
citizens on every hand viewed this last
disaster. There were no weeping wo- len
lingering about the morgue, no knots OF
men standing around b street corners
discussing the event. People, APP
| preached for information, gave it with
out a touch of pathos or Of sentiment,
and treated the whole affair as an every
day occurrence. For over six months
the people of Johnstown have seen more
dead bodies probably than any other
community in the world. 1t has been a
daily spectacle to see q wagonload of
victims OF the great flood borne through
the town from n cemetery to another.
Piles of collins stacked On the pavement
in front of some undertaker's place or at
the graveyard gates long ago ceased to
excite comment. So it was that people
began to compare the loss of ten lives
with 5000 and draw the conclusion that
Tuesday nights disaster was a slight
one.
Although the Park opera house has
L for years hoon condemned Ia public
opinion, IL not officially, there was to-
day no suggestion of proceedings against
the owner or managers for the loss Of
life. Inquiry as to the probable course
of the victims' families brought the
opinion that it was not likely anything
would be done.
The remark that 'Johnstown is
cursed" has been made frequently since
the food, and 1t VAS repeated yesterday
and today in some quarters. The Rev.
Ii. L. Chapman, the venerable pastor OF
the NJ. r church, takes no such view
of the matter. Had there been nc
South Fork dam, he thinks, there would
have been no Park opera house dis
aster. The dam, he contends was
maintained through the cupidity OF
men. The food washed away the only
other theater in the town, which was on
the ground floor and had plenty Of good
exits. Had 1t been standing there
would have been no performance at the
Park opera house, and consequently no
panic or loss OF life.
All those injured in the panic are
doing well, and the physicians report
that all win recover. Messrs. Mack
and Flynn, the lessees of the opera
house. have cancelled all engagements.
and the house will remain closed antil
the hall has been remodeled and better
exit provided. AS this was the only
theater left IN tho city after the flood
no more theatricals will be Witnessed In
fJohnstown this winter.

The veteran anglers at Castle Garden
have invented a device with which en-
ables them to fish from the end of the pier
while swapping "reminiscences before the
glowing fire in the coy Office of Captain
Moore, the tugboatman. Like all great in
ventions it is a marvel of simplicity. The
shore end of the line is tied 10 the top of a
thin, elastic stick. There is also "a bell
fastened TO the top of the stick, Whenever
a fish takes the hook and give a yank on
the line, down comes the spring stick and
jingle, jingle, jingle goes the bell. The
luxurious angler stops in the middle of q
story about the old fire laddiss of 50! and
rushes out and pulls in the fish, which has
literally rung himself up.
