Disagreement of the Jury in the Jorda
Case.

Disagreement of the Jury in the Jordan
Case
Adolph Jordan was tried for manslaughter
before Judge Hebbard yesterday. Jordan
is the old man who killed his wife at her
own request and then tried to take his own.
They kept saloon at 425 Montgomery
avenue. Both were sick and respondent
and had resolved to die together on Septem-
Der 18th. Jordan cut his wife's wrists so
that she. bled to death, and he wounded
himself in like manner, but death did mt
come 10 his rescue before the officers of the
law arrived. They were both taken to the
Receiving Hospital, where the wife lived
long enough to say that she made her hus-
band do the deed and that she wanted to
die with him. The bare facts were pre-
sented to 1.-The jury, there being no denial,
and the arguments on both sides were brief
The jury was unable to agree upon verdict
and was discharged. The second trial will
be had to-day.

In addition. any work done under such a specI-
fication, when the expense would he charged TO

be Illegal and void, on the ground that the prop
erty-owner could not be made liable for the cost
OF said work. the statute pioviding otherwise
In this connection ii may be we'll TO state. to
correct some mistaken ideas entertained on this
matter, that In no case Ia which any street or
street crossing has been paved at the expense OF
the prOrerty-owners under public contracts
which work formed The basis of acceptance nv
the city, has any bond been given by the con
tractor 10 keep the roadway so paved in good
order free or expense for a term Of five years or
any period OF time whatsoeyer.nor has such con-
dition ever been imposed or provided for Ia the
specifications, for the reason that such action
would have made the assessment void
On accepted streets The board has power and
heretofore, when ordered paved with bilumiuous
ROCK, the contractors under the specifications
have been required 10 give bonds in Ose.haIf of
the contract price to Keep the roadway in good
repair FOR period of five years without exi ense
10 the city. Where The streets are accepted WORK
can be done cheaper by contract than by the
SUPERINTENDENT OF Streets. and the contractor In
all cases should be requir, to give a bond.
SIZE OF THE BLOCKS.
Referring to the size Of the blocks the re-
ports added:
Upon hearing the contractors and quarrymen
as 10 The elect of The proposed alteration In the
size OF stone BLOCKS 1t was found that The cost
would be enhanced from 81 so to $40 per thou

The cost OF paving, and however Desirable il
might be TO have The blocks more regular in size
II has been deemed best TO amend the order by
restoring the same limits and variations i'm size
as at present In force, except as to depth which
shall not be more than nor less than ~
inches, so that an opportunity should be given 10
demonstrate the correctness of views expressed
as 10 the blocks now in use being equally service
able for the purpose as the size heretofore pro-
posed.

the Almshouse with coal. sent comnuni

language of the Mayor against him and de-
handing an investigation forthwith. He
SAYS he is prepared 10 prove that there has
