A MISTRIAI..
TIE jury in the Ives Case Stand
Ten to Two for Conviction.

NEW YORK, September 25.-The jury
in the Ives case stood ten for conviction
and two for acquittal. Ives was re
manded to the Tombs. 1t is generally
believed that John {. Anderson, the
fourth juror, and Manuel Williams, the
sixth Juror, were the two who stood out
for acquittal. The first ballot, it was
learned, stood eight for conviction and
tour for acquittal. Abraham Unger, the
third juror, and Dwight w. Clarke, the
eleventh juror, are said to have been for
aCQuittal on the first ballot, but after
ward changed their opinion.
Col Fellows said, after the case had
been disposed of, that Ives would be
placed on trial again as soon as the dis
trict attorneys office could make ar
rangements for it. There would, Col.
Fellows thought, be Il motion argued be
tore Recorder Smyth tomorrow which
would be to decide the place of abode OF
the young financier until his next trial.
His counsel, it is stated, will make every
effort to have him placed in Ludlow
street jail in case he cannot get him out
on bail

WARMER DECLINES
TO Fill the Place Made vacant by
Tanners Removal.

DEER PARK, Md, September 25.-Maj.
William Warner, of Missouri, has finally
declined the Office Of commissioner of
pensions which was rendered him by the
President. The letter of declination was
written September l6 but ut the urgent
solicitation of the President the Major
agreed to withdraw it and reconsider his
determination. To-day, however, after
consultation with his business partner,
he telegraphed that he must adhere to
his riginal declination and his letter is
therefore made public. The declination
is upon purely business grounds. He had
formed a business engagement which he
could not break. 1t is possible that the
President may reach conclusion i'll the
commissionershipmatter while here, but il
he does, it will not be announced until
after his return to Washington.

The wilmington star

Has entered upon its forty fifth volume,
and justly felicitates itself upon its Wig
orous age. 1t is somewhat rare in the
South, or anywhere else in fact, to enjoy
the privilege ofpaying obeisance to the
gray hairs of journalism. Papers are
apt to drop off in the prime of youth
comforting themselves with the reflection
that the good die young" Some live
on and grow in strength, and illustrate
the doctrine of 1.-THE survival of the fit
test" The Star has been good paper
is still good paper, has always been a
good paper, and we may hope to see it
shine, and continue to shine even when
we pass into the shades beyond the reach
of it's enlivening rays.

ALLEGHANY's CENTENNIAL.
A Maryland County Has 81 Big
Time with the President.

DEER PARK, Md; September 25.-
President Harrison left Deer Park at
1890 O'Clock this morning, accompanied
by Senator Davis, Capt. w. L. Griffith,
Col. X. +. Johnson and cX-mavor w. J.
Read, the Cumberland centennial recep-

berland at 1890 and were met by a reg
iment of the Maryland National Guard.
The President was Loudly cheered as he
was driven along the streets to Court
House square, where he reviewed the
military and civic parade. The noun
tain city is gaily decorated, and pictures
of the President are seen at every Will
dow. Twenty thousand people greeted
resident Harrison. They came from
'iedmont, Keyser, Frostburg and the
mining towns within radius OF sixty
miles. 1t was the last day of a three
DAYS centennial celebration of the settle
lnent of Allegheny county, and the old
city did honor to itself. The President s
:;aily decorated barouche was drawn by
inur hOrS,S and was under the escort OF
members of the Cumberland post 6. A. X.
The reviewing stand was in front of the
fine old residence opposite the court
house, and for an hour the President
with uncovered head, watched the long
procession as it marched Washington
street. As the last detachment passed
he took aposition at the rear porch, aud
for half an hour shook hands with Citi-
zens and visitors Of Cumberland who
were introduced to him by States Attor
ney Sloane. The reception over, he was
escorted by the centennial committee to
the residence of cX-Congressman Lloyd
where he took a luncheon with
the representative men of Cumberland.
The return train, which was due at $50,
was held ten minutes for the Presidents
party; and under the same escort as that
of the mor'ing, the Chief Magistrate re
turned to Deer Park.

RANDOM NOTES
RODed HI by Rambling Reporters
Roaming Round the CitA.

W. {. T. L. will meet this afternoon at
4 O'Clock in Johnston Hall.
The fine bright day ofyeStcrday seemed
to have brought out all the ladies, all
the pedestrians, all the carriages; and at
times Patton avenue, and North and
South Main streets looked like Broad
way-on a reduced scale, of course.
pole light Of very substantial size
and height was erected i'll Court Square
yesterday afternoon, but not in time to
be used last night. We are not informed
whether the iron tower is to be replaced.
The wreck of that overthrown by the
storm of Monday night was hauled off
yesterday, mass of shattered fragments,
old iron, and nothing more.
Yesterday was so clear, brilliant and
beautiful that it seemed as if nature were
trying to make amends for her turbulent
humor of only thirty siX-hours before.
She wore her smoOthest face and wreath
ed it with her sunniest Smiles and we all
cheerfully accepted the olive branch. 1t
grew so warm towards evening that we
have little faith in her steadiuess of pur-
pose to behave.
Our fish market is well supplied from
the coasts of both the Carolinas. Pos
sibly the coast people would scorn our
taste which appreciates the fat October
mullet, the trout, the founder, and some
other fish, so far away from the water,
We cannot help ourselves; and coming
on ice, the fish are really in good condi
tion. OF course those who know any
thing about it, know the superiority of q
fish Just out of water; but taut mieuX

his health, also returned with Mr..
Brown.
General X. B. Vance has returned from
his trip through the western counties,
where he addressed the members of the
Farmers Alliances. A large number were
present at all of the points visited, par
ticularly at Haysville, where an elegant
basket dinner was served after the ad-
dresses. The alliance is gaining rapidly
in numbers and in interest to the farmers.
1t is not often that we see the two dis.
brothers Vance, the Senator
and the General, here together, as they
were yesterday. They are by no means
the two Dromios, because unlike in per-
son and characteristics but they are
both men OF mark, not often found in the
same family, both worthy of the high re.
gard i'll which they are held, and fairly
winning and deserving their great popu-

a substantial, enduring and perfectly even

A bad Lecture Field.

Mr. E. S. Simmons left yesterday for
Salisbury where he proposes to lecture
tonight. So he proposed to do here on
Tuesday night, and had not single
auditor. This is bad tribute from an
intelligent people to a most cultivated
gentleman, and to a lecturer who has
successfully stood the test of most crit
cal Judgment. But we have long known
that the people of Asheville give faint
encouragement to lecturers, even the very
best. Perhaps the humorist with pur-
pose to keep an audience in a roar of
laughter, and with capacity to do so,
might have better success. Certainly
they do not draw to cold facts, convinc-
ing arguments, or even to the finished
grace of literature. "Tis true, and pity
'tis, 'ts true" We wish it were other

CHICAGO REVIEW.
business in the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, September 25.-There was
hig speculative trade in wheat again to-
day, though the volume of business was
scarcely larger than yesterday. The
market was crratic and full of surprises.
For sometime it looked like "bear"
market, and as though the opening fig
ures, 80 Tor December, wasgoing to be he
.op, so general was the realizing early
that prices broke nearly cent, but the
bear element did not press their luck, and
before noon there was a rally of " cent
from inside figures. Later the market eX-
perienced another substantial bulge,
which carried December to S2RaS25s,
and MAY to S45s. Gables were mixed
During the last hour of the session a de-
cidedly strong tone was developed and
prices reached their highest range, final
closing figures being at the extreme top
September, October and the year made a
net gain for the day of Haas cent, and
December and May ofaSa7s.
Corn was moderately active and a
shade easier. Trading was largely of a
local character, though some out side
country business was transacted in the
way OF selling October. The market
opened at about yesterdays closing
prices, was steady for time, then sold
off a, ruled quiet, and auctuated but lit
tie, closing a shade lower than yesterday.
Oats were quiet and steady without
new features of Importance
More was doing i'll mess pork with
trading chiefly in November and January
deliveries. The market was stronger.
Prices were 5a10 cents higher, and closed
mparativcly steady.
Quite a good business was reported,
and the feeling was decidedly stronger in
lard. Prices were advanced 712alO cents,
and the appreciation was fairly well sup
ported.

Mrs Morris has been arrested.

who Shall Decide? ?

The Hcndcrsonvile Times, admitting
its erroneous application of news item
to CITIZEN editorial, adds
AS to the Chicago Tribune and North
State, it surprises us that these papers
should be quoted by THE CITIZEN as Re
publican. The Tribune is a notorious
Mugwump journal, whilst the North
State, under its present management, is
attacking the administration in every
issue, purely and entirely on account of
it's soreheadism. Republicans no longer
consider it a Republican journal"
That is not question for us to decide
These papers have been accepted in the
past as very sound Republican oracles.
If they, brethren, fall out, it is not for us
to decide which is the Simon pure.
