LoNGENECKER. then announced that
the court would stand adjourned until
Jan. 13, and left the bench. After a date
for which the argument for new trial
will be made was fixed the prisoners, in
cluding Beggs, were hurried from the
court room to the Jail. AS Coughlin
passed along he sighted some old friends
in the crowd that were staring at him in
a curious way, and he saluted them with
a wave of the hand. Prisoners and
guards tramped noisily along, the big
steel gate of the Jail swung open and tn
entire party passed inside. Then the
gate was ..
CLOSED WITH LOUD CLANG
and the prisoners were shut from view.
Burke was hurried to the boys depart
ment. Coughlin, O'Sullivan and Kunze
were taken to their cells and locked up.
Beggs paid a brief visit to his cell to
gather up some trinkets he had there.
and then he hurried down to the Office,
where he signed book that was placed
before him. A moment later he was
literally ...s t[#
IN THE ARMS OF HIS FRIENDS.
Harry Jordan, whose connec-
ton with the defense movement has
always been prominent, helped Beggs
into the carriage. Lawyer Foster took
seat beside his client and then Murphy
and Jordan and Lawyer Ames piled in
indiscriminatnly and signaled the driver
to hurry away. The entire party pro-
ceeded to the Office of Murphy & Ames,
on Clark street. A large delegation Of
Irish was there to meet them, and the
escaped man

for nearly two hours when his wife
came in and informed him that he was

JURORS REFUSE TO TALK.
Several Of the jurors were interviewed
at their homes, but all of them declined
to be interviewed further than to say all
talk of personal encounters in the jury
room was the merest bosh. A resolu-
ton was passed to disclose nothing that
had transpired in the jury room. One
juror said the reason for 80 long delay
in reaching a verdict was that the jury
had waded through the entire mass OF
evidence, first taking it up as a whcie
and then as applied to each defendant.
Juryman North when asked why life
sentence instead of the death penalty
had been given to Coughlin, Burke and
O'Sullivan, said there were several pre-
cedents for such a verdict.
FEARED CULVER WOULD GO MAD.
CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-It is stated on un-
doubted authority that but for the fear
of Juror Culver going mad in the jury
room the jury would have stood out in
definitely for hanging Coughlin, Burke
and O'Sullivan, twenty-one years inn
prisonment for Beggs and fourteen years
for KunZe.

and collected mopped the perspiration
from his brow. The voice of Foreman
Clark came out clear and distinct, and
with triumphant ring to it, when he
answered 1--WE have" in response
to the question of the clerk of
the court, as to whether he and his
colleagues had agreed on a verdict. Ris-
ing in his seat he handed folded paper
to the clerk. The stiffness at this mo-
ment was not merely oppressive, but
painful. Every eye was turned upon
the five men whose fate in another mo-
ment would be determined. Forrest cast
glance of encouragement towards his
clients, as much as to say, "Be brave"
Foster from his chair couple of feet
distant, threw few words in a whis-
pered tone to Beggs. In a moment the
voice of the clerk, clear and distinct,
rung out upon the air: 1--WE find the
defendant John F. Beggs not guilty as
charged in the indictment"
There was a buzz in the court as
though a thousand bated breaths had
been let loose The blood rushed to the
face of the lawyer prisoner, and in a
second later it was of carmine hue. His
right arm, which had been resting on
the railing, fell to his side, and his entire
frame shook like that of a man afflicted
with the palsy. All this was but the
work of moment. Again the voice OF
the clerk rang out: 1--WE find the de-
fendant, John Kunze, guilty of man
slaughter, and fix the penalty at three
years imprisonment in the penitentiary."
There was pause before the clerk re-
sumed.

MONTANA HAS A SENATE.
The Democratic Absentecs Ap.
pear and Take tho Oath
OF Office.
The Governors Message Re-
ceived and Referred-The
House Still Divided.
Sisseton Negotiations Successful-The
Reservation Will Be Opened
The Northwest.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic members of the senate appeared
in the senate chambers and took the
oath of office. The senate then ad-
journed until morning.
The Republicans have been invited to
come in and join the Democrats in the
house of representatives.
Upon learning the action of the Demo-
cratic Senators, the Democratic House
passed a resolution that each of the Re-
publican absentees be notified to appear
within the body of the House forthwith,
then and there to qualify as members,
and in the event of refusal to take action
thereupon. A copy of the notice was
given to the sargeant-at-arms to serve.
The House Republicans met in the
evening and adjourned. The days work
is one great step toward a solution of the
legislative question and an end to the
deadlock is confidently expected within
q few days. What the outcome will be
is uncertain, but compromise by which
each party will elect one United States
senator is the plan most frequently men,
toned. Politicians on both sides gen
orally deprecate such a step, preferring
to let matters settle themselves in favor
Of one side or the other.

Good Logging Prospects.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 16.-The Minneap-

rather blue over the prospects for the
seasons cut, owing to the lack Of snow,
received more encouragement when one
of Senator Cloughs men brought the
news that there was five inches of snow
on the ground north of Aitkin. Mr..
Clough thought that if this state of af-
fairs lasted this seasons cut would ex-
ceed last by at least 100000, 900 feet.
Senator Buchanan has also received let
ters of similar import and predicts a
heavy cut under continued favorable
conditions

Drown In the Milwaukee River. IA
PORT WASHINGTON, Wis, Dec. 13.-
Mrs. Claude Augustin, her 17-year-old
daughter and two infant sons were
drowned in the Milwaukee river at
Saukville. One little boy playing on the
ice broke through, and Mrs. Augustin
attempted to rescue him. Her daughter
tried to help her mother, and as the
three were disappearing, the remaining
4-year-old child toddled out on the ice,
crying for his mother, and fell into the
same hole. In an instant he, like the
others, was carried beneath the ice. A
man saw the tragedy, but all was over
before he could reach the spot.

A Man Named Smith Does On q Lot of
Italian Laborers.
LEAVING THE CITY.

A Man Named Smith Does Up Lot of
Italian Laborers.
ST. PAUL, May 1.-Aw week ago one John
Smith arrived in the city and announced
himself as a contractor for a new railroad
in Dakota, called the Anchor Line, and
wanted 200 men. He Immediately opened
negotiations with an Italian named Pietro
Carlo who had acted as foreman over a
large number of Italians before and who
is respected highly by his countrymen in
this city and Minneapolis. Carlo did not
place full confidence in the man at first
and asked for references. Smith then told
him he would take him to Hart City, Da-
kota, and introduce him to the chief en-
gineer. Carlo went along and spoke to
the man who was introduced as that Of
fetal and who declared that Smith was
really contractor of the road to be
graded, and square, honest man.
This satisfied Carlo, and coming back
to St. Paul he Immediately set to
work hiring men and collected $1O.25
from each of them for railroad fare. This
money he turned over to Smith and yes
terday Smith told him he might stop hiring
ficient. He instructed the men to be ready
to leave for their destination to-day at
O'Clock. In the meantime License Inspec-
tor Nugent noticed Smith hiring men and
took him to the central station for
running an employment agency with
out a license. Smith said he
was not an agent and that he hired the
men for himself. Chief Clark did not trust
the fellow and told him 80. Smith then
brought in the proprietor OF the City hotel,
who said Smith was honest and q boarder
day. when Smith disappeared and took
along the $500 he had collected from the
Italians as railroad fares. The police are
looking for the scoundrel but he is very

were taken to the city hospital and are all

THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
HAMILTON, April 29.-Grand Trunk rail-
way workmen. in shifting the remains of
the wreck late this afternoon in order to
give the coroner's Jury a distinct idea of
the lay out of the tracks at the scaie of
yesterdays accident, discovered what was
without doubt the cause of the disaster.
One OF the aXleS of an engine was found
to be broken. The axle had, after the ac-
cident. been pitched into the mud and
water and had also been somewhat burned,
So tn, that it was impossible, by examinati9n
axle had flaw in the steele, but
from the position in which the engine
lay after the plunge into the water
tank, it is certain the axle was not broken
by being struck by anything either at the
time or Immediately after the first crash.
The tender of the engine was thrown to
one side, and it was that which got the full
weight Of the ten cars behind and caused
them to pitch into heap. The jury
seemed of the opinion that the broken axle
caused the accident, but in order to get
more light upon the subject, w. A. Robin
son, an expert in iron and steel working
as well as in locomotive engineering. was
appointed to make an inspection. In order
that he might have time to inspect and re-
port, the inquest was adjourned till We'd
