No Verdict Reached in the Elliott Murder
Case.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 24.-The throng of
hundreds which filled the corridor of the court
house this morning. eagerly awaiting verdict
in the Elliott murder case, were subjected to
disappointment The retirement OF the jury
at an early hour last night gave ground for
a Arm belief that verdict had been
reached and would be announced this morning
upon the converting Of court. The speediness
with which the apparent conclusion had been
reached by the fury indicated that il was
against the defendant. This opinion was shared
BIZ the counsel and defendant himself
W. ]. Elliott arose early and received his
family and friends before o'clock and then
prepared himself for summons to the court
room. He told his friends the outlook was un-
favorable to him, but he was prepared for the
worst.
The jury arose early and at 6 O'Clock break
tasted at an adjoining restaurant. Following
leisurely walk around the court house they
spent o few minutes in promenade in the CORR
doris on the third floor, when they again re-
tired to their room.
Since that time nothing has been heard from
them. They have made no request from the
court and have given no indication Of having
arrived at any conclusion. Dinner was served
in their sleeping apartments
The failure OF q report this morning en-
couraged the defendants counsel to believe
there is a chance Of a disagreement. rumor

ing for granddaughter.
At 2 pm. the jury was still out. There
is so much evidence and so many exhibits to
examine that they may not report before night.

CAPT. CoOMBs REMEMBERED.
Members OF the Examining Corps Testify
Their Regard for Him.

Capt. J., NJ. Coombs of tho watch force Of the
Interior Department received a message while
he was on duty yesterday afternoon that some
ono wanted to see him in one OF the rooms of
the patent Office. Surprising that it was some
business he went to the room, and to his sur
prise found it crowded with members Of tho
examining corps.
He was still more surprised when Mr.. J. q. Rice
stepped forward and in behalf Of tho examining
corps presented him with gold-headed cane.
The condition Of mind into which he was
thrown by the suddenness Of the entire af-
fair rendered him incapable Of following
with attention the flowingand sparkling periods
OF Mr.. kice's eloquent effort, and he was there

in reply. He, however, thanked all present

Gov. Buchanan to Talk With the Miners
Committee This Afternoon.
Knoxville. TENN, July A.-There is no
change in the situation this forenoon. The
troops still remain in Knoxville and all Is quiet
at Coal Creek and Briceville. Another and
final conference will probably: be held this
afternoon between the governor and repre-
sentatives Of the miners. Some influential
representatives of labor organizations advise
the miners to recede from their position rela-
tive to an armistice for sixty days and there 10
hope of q peaceful solution in that way.
1t is known that Gov. Buchanan will not
under any circumstances seriously consider
anything which has the appearance OF cOmpro-
missing the state. The opinion OF Attorney
Ge11fn w Pickle ,oo, made to right 'n a
the governor under the law to call out the mil
itia Is to the effect that the governor cannot
call out the militia. but they may be used as q
posse. This complexities the situation, as the
militia feel they are under no more obli-
cation CATION to serve as posse than 2, other
lowering of the dignity of the military
branch Of the state service. II the members
OF the militia be again ordered to Briceville
the question may be raised and it may possibly
become prejudicial to military discipline.
There is so far as can be seen no danger Of any
serious trouble anywhere today.
The troops object and some say they will not
go to the mines and guard the convicts, and if
they insist on this there is no law compelling
them to 60. There is great dissatisfaction
among them. The governor seems nonplussed
as to what course to pursue, although he real
ICES that something must be done, and quickly.
1t is reported that the sheriff says he has no
need for posse of soldiers, as he has no pro-
cesses to serve and there is also no mob to
settle down.
ARMS BEING PURCHASED
1t is said. on what seems to be good author
ity, that arms are being purchased in Knox
vile for the use Of persons in the neighborhood
of Coal Greek. Investigation shows that in
the past twenty-four hours there have been
an unusually large number of calls ut the
Knoxville hardware stores for Winchester
rifles II is said that there are 500
men in the village Of Williamsburg,
KY, ready to come to the aid Of the
miners at Coal Creek 1t is known
that telegram was received from Pennsyl-
vania mining town proposing contributions Of
money, and also Of men if necessary. At no
time has the situation appeared more serious,
though there will be no conflict until the gov
ernor moves the convicts.

DEGRADATIONs OF AN ARMORY.
A Serious Scandal Created by Young MflIti
men In Milwaukee.

A Serious Scandal Created by Young Militia
men in Milwaukee.
number of Wisconsin militiamen have their
headquarters at the Lighthouse Squadron
Armory in Milwaukee and their actions have
caused a scandal. It has been rumored that the
boys have been spiriting young girls into the
place.
Policemen watched the place last night says
a special dispatch to the New York World, and
saw girl enter the armory. The Officer en-
tered later and surprised the pair. They were
promptly marched to the station and this
morning were each fined el0 and costs before
Justice Hutchling. Tho young soldier paid his
fine, bat the girl, who was servant in a house
near tho armory, went to the House Of Correc-
ton for thirty days.
The affair has created tremendous social
sensation. The squadron il composed of young
men of the wealthiest families and Of the best
social standing. The police assert that they
have proof that the el00, 900 armory erected by
the state has for months been made an evil re-
sort A thorough investigation has been or
dered and at least o half dozen young militia
men, whose names have for the present been
suppressed By the police, win be dishonorably
discharged from the service.

PORTLAND. Me-, July 24.-At the annual
meeting Of the Maine Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton yesterday President C. X. Portbridge in
his annual address vigorously attacked the
prohibition laws Of the state. He said, in part,
that for many years. owing to the so-called
Temperance laws OF Maine. the apothecGry who
wonid fulhll his duties toward the medical pro-
fession, the invalid and the public has found
himself confronted with the statutes OF pro-
hibition. II alcoholic stimulants are pre-
scribed and he fills such prescriptions his legal
place of residence is the county Jail. and in adj
dition thereto his pocket book should be legally
muicted of handsome sum.
Prohibition" he said, latter nearly half q
century's trial in Maine, has proved a moral,
political, demi-relisious fraud. Originally
enacted from the best OF motives as a sovereign
remedy tor intempcrance, It's empiricism has
been fully demonstrated. 1t has grown like q
fungus on the body polite, stimulated by q
combination Of dark-lantern societies, with
demagogism. fanaticism, political intimidation
and intolerance Of individual rights. 1t has
shown total inadequacy for its avowed purpose
OF promoting real temperance and good morals.
1t Is a miscarried effort to legislate the King
dom Of God into the heart Of nah by indirec-
ton, inasmueh rs 1t places an act not crime
Of itself In the same category with the worst
crime"
