NO VERDICT YET
The cronin Jury Not ye,
Prepared to Return a
Verdict.
The Court Room Surrounded
by a Great Throng Of
People.
The Sentiment Seems to BE That the
Jury will Disagrec-A Rumor
That O'Sullivan and Burk
Are Convicted.
The Cronin Jury.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14..-The court has not
yet convened, the jury having sent word
to Judge Mcconnell that it is not yet
prepared to return verdict. 1t is given
out that an agreement has been reached
as to all except Beggs.
Up to noon nothing has been an
nollnced in the Cronin case. The Jury
was still out and there was nothing to
indicate that it had reached Il verdict.
The criminal court was surrounded by
a great throng of people anxious to hear
the first word from the jury room. 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, l0:30, l0:45 and II o'clock
there was still no jury. The crowd
outside the court room was rapidly
swelling and as the morning wore on
they became impatient. Shortly before
IL o'clock Judge Mcconnell asked one
of the balitfs if the jury showo3 any
signs of being ready to report.
He was informed they had not.
The Judge then retired to his private
room The general sentimentseems to
be that the result will be disagreement
though, of course, this is based on con-
lecture. During the morning report
gained currency that 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 IL to
for the conviction of Coughlin, O'Sul1i-
van aid Burke that was started last
night, was revived this morning, and in
the rumor was contained the insinua-
tion 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 12 o'clock Judge Nc
Connell adjourned court until p. m.
THE JURY STILL IN A DEADLOCK
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-2::20 p. mat this
writing information from the most au-
thentic source is that the jury is in the
same deadlock they were at 12 o'clock
last night. II is now pretty certain the
jury is divided IN proportion of IL to
l. Whether the disagreement extends
beyond a mere question of guilt, or
whether it relates to the question of
penalty cannot positively be stated.

South American fircflies have been
called living diamonds. In the same
part of the world is also found a pale
gray or particularly disagreeable look
ng moth, which maybe called living
antern. Kept inclosed in box for
twenty-four hours it will be found when
tho box is opened that the body of the
moth is giving forth sufficient light to
enable one to read plainly any ordinary
type. A number of glass fronted boxes
containing these moths-fulgaria can
ternaria, naturalists call them--when
placed around the room afford nearly as
much light as so many wax candles.

The Orient express train running be-
tween Paris and Vienna, seldom has an
applicant on Friday for the thirteenth
compartment of the ladies' Pullman
sleeping car. The cars are always re-
served beforehand, but the numbered
tickets are only distributed at the last
moment In spite of this precaution,
however, No. 13 of the ladies' tickets on
;hat day of the week is almost invariably
returned; and the train, although other
wise crowded has to travel with one
berth empty. Ladies have got so far

THE slLcoTT INVESTIGATION.
The Committee Appointed Reports to th'

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The report o,
the Silcott committee was presented tc
the house yesterday. The report gives
a detailed statement OF the assets and
liabilities of the Office of sergeant-at--
arms on December 5. The shortage Is
stated to be S7o,7os. 1t states that tlls
committee has not yet made sufficient
Investigation of the matter of discount

believes, were forged 90 cover defalca-
tion already existing. 1t also says that
the committee cannot too severely con-
demn the manner in which the sergeant
alarms conducted the affairs of his
office. A resolution was adopted ex-
tending to the committee the powers Of
special committee, that it, in its re-
port to the house, might give its con-
clusions as to the effect of any deficiency
in cash in the Office of the sergcant-at-
arms.

dom ever askel for count until the even
ing of the 9th inst, when the deficiency
was announced. Mr.. Leedom seems to
have exercised no careful supervision of
the interests committed to his care.
Mr.. Payson, of Illinois, Immediately
upon conclusion of the reading of the
report, offered a resolution authorizing
the committee not only to examine the
| accounts, but to take charge of all the
assets of the Office until further order
of tho house: to receive any proposal
from Lcedom for making good any def
cheney, andalso to make n full report as to
the effect of any deficiency. There was a
protracted debate over this, regarding
tho responsibility of the sergeant-at-
arms, as to whether he was acting as
agent of the members or of the treasury
department, and the opinions expressed
were conflicting. Finally Mr.. Boutelle,
of Maine, offered a substitute for tho
resolution directing the committee to
report as to the effect or result of any
deficiency, and especially as to the un-
| paid salaries to members, accompanying
| the report with a bill if necessary. This
was adopted. as was also one offered by
| Mr.. Hemphill. of South Carolina, di-
recting Sergeant-at-Arms Holmes to ar
range with the treasury department for
the payment of the mileage of the mem
bers.
