The Jury Was "Fixed,,

New ORLEANS, March lathe trial
of nine Italians for the assassination of
Chief of Police Hennessy at II rs o'clock
on the night of October Is, which has
occupied the time of Judge Bakers
division of the criminal district court
since the 10Th of February, was con-
Guided this afternoon, the jury bringing
Ia a verdict Of not guilty as to six of
the accused, and failed to agree upon a
verdict as to the other three.
When the jury handed in their YER
dict, Judge Baker looked at 1t for some
moments bafOre he handed it to Minute
Clerk Screven. There vas apprehensiye
silence while these preliminaries were
going on. The prisoners stood up, and
there was a look of infinite woe pic
tured on the face of Macheca and some
Of the others. Ofcourse Mathranga and
Incardoria were disinterested. They
knew they had been saved, and their
only interest in the matter was to see
that their friends or partners escaped the
fate which had threatened them for 80
long. The boy MarcheZi showed no
signs of emotion.
The jury looked more concerned than
any one i'm the room. Their faces were
deathly pale and showed plainly the eff
feet of their long deliberations.
Chief Clerk Screven read the verdict
in a firm voice. AS the verdict was read
there was an audible expression of sur
prise and dissatisfaction. Judge Baker
Immediately discharged the jnrymen
and ordered the prisoners held, as there
was still another charge against them.
The court then adjourned.
When the jurymenleft the court room
they were surrounded by reporters, but
none of them would discuss the case or
how they reached the verdict. They
kept together until they reached Lafay-

Polk of the National Alliance declined
this morning to express his views on

Illinois, further than to say that it APP
peared to him to have been a fight be-

parties rather thar a contest between
those two parties and the Alliance.
The Aliiancemen, he thought, had

TWO ALTERNATIVES.
Tho Gay Young Man Chooses the Least
Expsts-ive One.


A young man fiom the west came TO
this city some liass ago with no capital.
but with an experienced and expert
knack Of getting rid Of money, SAYS
the New York Times. He brought
letters introducing him to the favor
able attention nf several rich and
influential BUSINESS men. His relatives
in the west--p.;rBons OF good social
standing and gome means-were very
glad to grant sach courtesies to him In
consideration II his departure from
their neighbSfhood. He had proved
an expensive Indulgence for them.
One OF ths gentlemen upon whom
the young IaJn called was the prcsi-
dent Of iloN ishing downtown bank.
The bank ptetident had been the inli-
mate friend os the yonng mans father.
and. withoat thinking OF tho couse-
quenccs. no offered TO do anything in
his power 10 advance the interests Of
the son Of his old friend. The young
man had "a business scheme" Ia his
head. and he wanted credit at the
bank until his expected remittances
arrived. The bank pre;ident told him
that he might draw up TO $1,000.
The che ecks came In promptly for
largo and small amounts until the
young mans overdrawh account
amounted 10 $1,000. The hard-headed
cashier then went to the president aud
suggested that the bank ought to have
some collateral. He frankly admitted
that he had no confidence 10 either the
young mans schemes or his intentions.
The president saw the force OF his
cashiers suggestion. but still chary Of
offending his old friends son. he wrote
personal letter TO the young man.
saying;
''My Dear Young Friend: It has
beon n pleasure for me 10 accommo-
date you with a small line of credit at
the bank. Sufficient time. however
has elapsed. l think. TO enable you to
realize on your own resources. and /
trust that you are now able TO make a
settlement In fact, am constrained
to say that you must either make your
account good or cease drawing checks
on this bank"
The young man was not thin-skinned
and this letter did not offend him. He
smiled as he read tho closing sentence.
and stepping into the Office OF a
friendly broker he ponned the follow.
ing note;
"ResPected Sir: Accept my cordial
thanks for your kindness. or the two
alternatives that you suggest I am
obliged TO accept tho latter shall
cease drawing checks on your bank.
With kindest regards. etc.
The kind-hearled bank president
was somewhat nonplused by this reply
and he showed the note to his cashier.
That practical functionary looked over
his gold-rimmed spectacles at his
superior. and said: "Umphl well. that
is pretty slick. But you have got rid
OF him cheaper than thought you
would"

Politeness Sometimes Pays.

a good-looking young lady, with a
pair Of seashore shoes on was crossing
City Hall Park the other day with the
strings Of one shoe Tipping and tapping
about with every step she took, writes NJ.
Quad in the New York EUenjag HrOrtd.
She knew all about it, and she realized
that every man she met was looking at that
foot, but she hadn't the nerve TO stop and
tie the strings. The situation caught the
eye Of a small bootblack who crossed her
path, and he did the right thing at the
right time and in the neatest manner.
Running up to her he dropped on his
knees and placed his box for her foot.
She placed it there and he gathered up
the strings, deity tied them into a double
bow knot. and dotted his cap and bowed
like little gentleman.
You are the srnartest boy in New
York ~ she said, as she reached for her
purse, and the next instant he was gallop-
ing down the walk and shouting:
oh! Jim, look-here! Made a mash
and struck half-a-dollar all in a mint ~
