mers VS.. Mary Phillips. 1t is an action
brought 10 recover rent under the fol-
lowing circumstances, according to the
attorney for the defendant:
Mrs. Phillips rented house from
Sommers. agreeing to pay him certain
rent. She found that she could not
make both ends meet and pay the rent.
She explained the circumstances and
asked to be allowed to give up the lease.
The house was part of q tenement row
that Sommers desired to sell. He told
her that he could sell 1t more readily if
all the houses were occupied. 1t is
claimed that he told her to stay in the
house and pay whatever she felt able
to pay. She took advantage of the Of
fer and paid varying sums per month,
always getting a receipt in full, il is

resulted in a verdict for the defendant.
That verdict was set aside Yesterday,
on the second trial, Judge Elliott in
structed the jury that it must take no
cOgnizance of the second agreement be-
tween Mrs. Phillips and Sommers, by
which she was to pay whatever she felt
able to pay, on the ground that there
was no consideration involved, no value.
The judge further instructed the jury
to return verdict for the plaintiff for
not less than $50, and for the full
amount, $500. if it saw fit. Some of the
lurymen were willing to abide by the
Judges Instructions, but others re-
fused. They would not obey the judge.
The jury was dismissed. The case
stands disagreement of the jury and
must be tried again.
1t is the first instance of the kind that
the Minneapolis attorneys ever heard
of. The judge could have sent the
jury back, refusing to discharge them,
and in that way might have coerced
them into returning verdict according
to his desire. but further be could not
go. 1t could not be made contempt of
court. as the jury was part of the
court under the circumstances.

None of the persons who were seriously
hurt have settled as yet.
G. A. Parker. the stage manager ana
second comedian of the company, was
in Minneapolis yesterday. He says the
wreck occurred on sharp curve. He
scouts the idea that broken rail was
wholly responsible for the accident.
The engine and the baggage car passed
over the break safely and went out OF
sight before stopping. The members of
the company were all out of the car and
says the railroad employees never lifted
hand to help the injured. They and
the Pullman conductor and porter stood
around, buttoned up in their overcoats,
while women, barefoot and almost
naked, were freezing.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

The New York Commercial Bulletin
places very little confidence in the news
paper reports about the progress of the
International Conference. It's proceed
ings are secret. and its presiding officer
has protested against the circulation of
unfounded or inaccurate accounts OF
what 1t is doing, and therefore, the news
we get. the Bulletin believes, are all more
or less garbled. 1t thinks that Mr.. de
Rothschild's reported proposal is to be
regarded only as one of many plans put
forward as the basis OF negotiations not
yet fairly begun, and has no such impor-
lance as is attached to it in some Of the
dispatches. England avowedly entered
the conference only to consider possible
means of increasing the use OF silver in
the currency systems OF the principal
nations, and some proposal OF this inef-
fectual character was to be expected
from the British delegates. 1t may be
doubted whether any or all Of the plans
formally presented will add to what was
known in advance as to the position of
the various delegates or as TO what they
may be ultimately willing to accept.
Our own Government, continues the
Bulletin. has all along proceeded on the
assumption that the cooperation OF Eng
land was necessary, and as England could
not be induced TO enter into a comprehen-
sive international agreement, other means
Of increasing the use of silver must be
considered. The other nations cannot af-
ford to deal with this subject, however.
by Offering or accepting mere temper
airy expedient such as the Rothschnd
proposal evidently is, but as England
discloses deep interest in the movement
and manifests a desire to assist in the
object Of the conference, our New York
contemporary thinks that the success or
failure of the meeting depends on the
ability OF other nations to reach an ef-
fective agreement with such support as
England may give. 1t is encouraging to
read that there seems to be really a much
more earnest desire for such a result and
more appreciation OF the necessity for AZ.
on the part of British and other delegates.
than has been recognized In any OF the
money centres from which such positive
predictions of the failure of the confer
ence have been issued from the time the
movement began.
