Alexandria Gazette Judge Chichester,
of the County Court, to-day set aside the
verdict rendered by the jury on Sunday
night last finding Edward Steward, col
osed, guilty of murder in the second
degree and fixing the penalty at fifteen
years. The Court set aside the verdict
for the reason that the jury had whisky
and beer and drank 1t in the jury rooms
at the Braddock House and because the
jury had separated during the trial after
they had been sworn. 1t appears they
had three connecting rooms at the Brad
dock House in which they had been
quartered and where they slept The
sheriff and balliffs were charged never
again to allow liquor in jury room or
permit 1t to be used by any juror unless
under a prescription of physician. The
prisoner then pleaded guilty of murder in
the second degree, amp with the consent
of the Commemorative Attorney the
Court imposed the lightest penalty-fYe
years in the peDitentisry and the sheriff
was directed to take the prisoner without
delay to the pententary at Richmond.

Shocking Misery in Ireland.

LONDON. Jan. lit is worthy of note
that while thousands of Irish families are
famlshing, Irish produce IN abundance
is pouring into England Turkeys and
poultry from Ireland supplied the holiday
dinners OF Englishmen and Scotchme
while the retired inmates of Galway
cabins hardly had potato. This shows
that there is plenty of food in Ireland, but
that large section of the population has
no money to buy food and no means OF
earning the money. The restitution is
every day becoming more acute as the
loads of potatoes brought by British men
of-war are but temporary relief to the
all pervading distress. That there is not
a marked increase of the death rate in the
famine districts only show the wonderful
vitality of the race and its capacity for
suffering. Correspondents at the Iscenes
of distress say that the most pitifnl
spectacle is that of the little children not
hungry alone, but also naked and de-
barred by neckedness from attending
school and obtaining the education with
ont which, as their native language is
Irish, they can never hope to rise above
poverty. Clothing is as badly wanted as

Does Experience Count ?

1t does, in every line of business, and
especially in compromising and preparing
medicines. This is illustrated in the
great superiority of Hoods Sarsaparila
over other preparations, as shown by the
remarkable cures ii has accomplished.
The head of the firm of C. |. Hood l.
Co. IS thoroughly competent and eI.
perienced pharmacist. hsying devoted his
whole lite to the study and actual prepa-
ration of medicines. He is also a member
of the Massachusetts, and American
Pharmaceutical Associations, aud con-
tinue actively devoted to supervising the
preparation of and managing the business
connected with, Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority aud peculiar
merit OF Hoods Sarsaparllla is built upon
the most substantial foundation. 10 its
there is represented all the
knowledge which modern research IN
medical science has developed, combined
with long experience. bralnwork, and
experiment. It IS only necessary to give
this medicine fair trial to realize its
great curative value.

to the State, and all respectable Colora-
doans feel the shame keenly. Within
the past twenty-four hours scenes have
been enacted that are unparalleled in
American legislative history. Lives have
been sacrificed at the instance of few
miserable petty politicians, who, having
lost all sense of honor, endeavored to blot
the fair name of Colorado.

own. Speaker Hanna, by advice, secured
a number of deputy sheriffs to guard his
seat and protect the official records

securing the assistance of many toughs
and DULLES, who were sworn in as door
keepers.

seeking admission to the House, was shot
by one of Whites guards. the bullet graz
ing his left cheek. Police Inspector
Hawley was passing by at the time, and
hearing the disturbance, ushed into the
hall, only to be shot in the head by Har-
ley Mccoy, one of Whites hlrelings.-
The Inspector was Immediately cared for,
but will die before morning. Policeman
Andrew Norris, upon hearing the report,
rushed to the rescue Of his superior, only
TO be shot through the abdomen by
Mccoy, who escaped, but was later cap
tured
A few minutes later the Assembly build
ing was surrounded by Gordon ofpolice,
who, with drawn revolvers were prepared
to kill anybody at the least proyocation.
Two companies of the State militia with
Winchesters haYe patrolled the streets
all day, while both Speakers at this morn
Ing's session deemed it advisable to adj
journ until tomorrow without transact
ing any business. Business meetings are
being arranged all over Colorado for the
purpose of requesting the designations OF
the riOting members.
Tonight the same state of affairs exists
as last night, with both factions in pos
session of the different parts Of the hall.

The Archer Verdict.
A JURY COMPROMISE WHICH Is RECEIVED
WITH INDIGNATION on BOTH SIDES.

TowsoN, Nd, Jan. 16.-The jury in the
Archer bond case has returned a verdict
against the sureties for 100000. Archer
was the defanlting State treasurer. He
is now serving a sentence of five years in
State prison, pleading guilty to charge
of enlightenment.
The States claim was for 1921 ,000. I'm
mediately upon the proclamation Of the
verdict, Attorney General Whyte moved
for new trial, and later stated that he
did so on the ground that the verdict was
not in accordance with the evidence ;
that it was not made according to the in
structions of the court, and that the
amount was palpably too small. The at
torney General and his associate counsel,
Mr.. Poe, seemed utterly Disguised with
the verdict, and TIE bondsmen and their
counsel were none the loss, and gave ex-
preston to their indignation that so
large sum was awarded the State. If
the State, they say, is entitled to $50,
900, it IS entitled to the whole amount
sued for-Sl2l, 900.
