ONE BRIBER GUILTY
He Interfered in the Hennessy
 Case at New Orleans.
THE JURY's QUICK DECISION
The Penalty for the Crime Is Two Years
 in the Penitentiary.

Another Bribery Case, of Which There
 Are Six in All, Will Be Tried To-MOr-
 row Minister Porter's Absence from
 He Has Been Recalled.
 NEW ORLEANS, June 9. The trial of the jury bribers began with the case against Bernard Glaudi, charged with attempting to bribe tales juror in the Hennessy assassination case. Glaudi was convicted. The jury was quickly selected, neither side making captious challenges.
 Henry B. Atwood, the juror who was approached, said Glaudi came to him and spoke to him about the case, and he told Glaudi that he had been summoned as juror but wanted to get off.
 Glaudi said to Atwood, "You can make some money by going on the jury and doing your duty" Glaudi told witness there was $500 in it for him. Witness said he did not care to make money that way.
 Since the indictment of Glaudi wit ness has seen him once. That was in front of Mertz's barroom on Gravier street, the beginning of last month. Glaudi spoke to him and asked him aDouJ the Granu JuryS ana then aSkeu Atwood to be lenient with him.
 Against this positive testimony Glaudi offered witnesses to his good character and then went on the stand himself. He admitted that he had spoken to Atwood in the court room. Atwood spoke to him about being excused because he could not afford to lose his business. Glaudi said he had seen in the papers that there was plenty of money in the case. He said he never offered any sum of money to Atwood. He never offered to give At wood $500. Atwood had told him on Gravier street that he did not know why Glaudi had been indicted. He spoke to Atwood about their being money in the case simply for the sake of talking. He did not mean anything by it.
 Atwood stopped him, he said, on Gravier street and shook hands with him. He denied that he asked Atwood to be light on him.
 The argument on both sides was brief and the case was given to the jury. Three hours afterward verdict was rendered. On the first ballot the jury stood six to six. Gradually the jurors who favored acquittal yielded, and finally a verdict of guilty was rendered. The utmost pen alty for the crime is two years in the penitentiary.
 Another jury bribery case, of which there aYs six in all, will be tried to-mor row.

THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.

Federal Officers Must Account for Their
 Action in Keystone Bank Affairs.
 WASHINGTON, June 9.-The President had conference with Secretary Foster and Comptroller Lacey in regard to the case of the Keystone National Bank of Philadelphia, as 8 result of which he die tated letter to Mayor Stuart acknowl- edging the receipt of the resolutions of Common Council calling for 8 govermen- tai investigation of the bank, and saying that he will investigate a thorough ex- animation of the affairs of the bank to the full extent of his powers, and will see that any officer of the government found guilty of wrongdoing in that connection is held to a strict accountability for his action.
 Comptroller of the Currency Lacy will furnish all the correspondence and a statement of the reasons governing his action relative to the bank. The further examination of the affairs of the bank will be continued as requested, subject to the approval of the United States Dis trict-Attorney at Philadelphia. If addi- tional information is desired as to the ac- tion of the Comptroller, it is probable that he will, subject to the opinion of the District-Attorney, appear before the Council Committee.

HE HID THE LETTERS.
GuttCnberG's Letter Carrier Secreted
 Mail Matter in a Church.

GUTENBERG, N. J., June 9.-valentiac Samerel, aged 62 years, the only letter carrier there is in this place, was arrested at noon charged with embedding and se- creting the mail.
 Gutenberg is one of the three places in which the old penny post system is re- tained. Samerel was entitled to cents for every piece of mail delivered.
 Complaint has been made to the post office authorities of non-delivery of mail matter, and an inspector was sent on to investigate. After a short search he found under the carpet of the Dutch Re- formed Church, of which Samerel is Sunday-school superintendent and sex ton, mass of mail matter directed to Guttenberg residents. All told there were 700 pieces of mail matter. Some of it being year old
 It is thought Samerel allowed the matter to accumulate because the remun- eration was not always sufficient to in duce him to tramp around and deliver it. None of the letters found were opened, and robbery therefore could not have been the motive.

 The symptoms are not always a true guide to the real condition, for many. times the most dangerous diseases pro- duce the slightest symptoms. Only the expert can tell the pathological condition and he is the one to consult at once when you perceive any of the following symp- toms: Palpitation, dizziness, faintness, short breath, flushed cheeks, with cold feet, vertigo, nervous and unable to sleep only on one side. Pain and distress, with fullness in that region, especially after eating. Difficult breathing after exer- cising' Trembling aud tiuttering sensa- tons, and many others that point towards that center which are realized by the yic- tim ot heart disease. The Rheumatic es- pecially should be watchful of these symptoms.
