SALTWATER, Mimi, Dec 15.--The
iury's verdict in the case of George E.
Peters is that he is insane and unable
TO plead to the charge of numbering v.
G. Seward, the jury having arrived at
the above conclusion at about O'Clock
this morning. When court convened
yesterday the jurors filed into the court
room and sealed verdict was handed
to Judge Williston. The report that
the jury had agreed upon verdict was
soon spread in the business portion of
the city, and many were present in the
room when the verdict was read.
The prevailing supposition was that
the jury would pronounce the defend
ant sane, if any verdict was agreed
upon, and feeling OF surprise was no.
tlced when the verdict was read. The
jury'S decision was the leading topic of
conversation in this city yesterday, and
the jurors were severely criticised by
many VINO did not believe thOt the evil
dence justified them i'll bringing in
verdict of this character. Others
thought that the verdict was all right,
and that he should be sent to an asylum.
The defendant was present in the court
room, and his eyes frightened when he
learned of his fate.
He was returned to his cell in the
county jail, ,and was apparently delight
ed with the outcome of the case. He
talked freely to the deputy sheriff and
the other prisoners. and said that he
would only stay at the insane asylum
short time before being discharged as
cured, and that he was the luckiest i'll
dividual on the face of the earth. The
district court will now turn him over to
the probate court with request that he
be examined and sent to an asylum.
The charge of murder still hangs over
him, aud, if ever DISCHARGED as cured, he
will be returned to this county for
trial.

An Able-Rodied Rumor to That
Effect Is Going the
Rounds.
1t Is Said He will Become War
den of the Joliet Peni-
tentiary.

The rumor is ahoat that Albert Gar
vim has rendered his resignation as chief
of police, and there are pretty good rea-
sons to believe that it is true. AS is
quite generally known, Mr.. Garvin is an
Irish-American and Democrat. and, as
is known on the quiet by good many,
he has for some time been very much
dsgusted with the city administration.
He became diSgusted with it some time
before the late election, and set about
looking for Shift. He turned his intlu-
9 ence in Illinois, which is very consider
able. toward the election of Judge
Altgeld for governor of that state. 1t is
reported that Gov Altgeld has rendered
to Mr.. Garvin the position of warden of
the Joliet prison,a position which draws
a salary of $1,000 year. and, of course.
Mr.. Garvin has accepted and te ndered
his resignation as chief Of police OF st.
Paul.
Before Mr.. Garvin's departure for the
East he remarked to reporter of the
GLOBE, who questioned him very closely
concerning the police muddle,. that
he had written letter to Mayor
Wright, but had received no reply
to it, and did not, Of course, know
what the mayor intended to do
about it. Mr.. Garvin evaded inquiries
as to whether it related to change in
the chief of police, but left the impress
sion in the mind of the reporter that
it did: From pretty reliable sources it
now seems quite clear that that was
just what his communication related to.
Rumor has it that Capt. John McGinn
will succeed Mr.. Garvin as chief of po-
lice. and there are pretty good reasons
to believe this report is true. AS the
report goes, Jack DAILY will be made
either lieutenant or captain of police,
and j. P. Cleary, an old-time -Pinkerton
detective, who was year ago McGinn's
assistant in the Pinkerton service, will
succeed McGinu as chief of detectives.

Plurality.

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 15.-The Times
Union tonight, under Washington
date, says: "United States Senator
Hill has been rendered the portfolio of
state by President-elect Cleveland. This
is following the custom to give to their
leading opponent the portfolio. United
States Senator Hill was approached
while in New York by close friend of
Mr. Cleveland. AS result, Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Hill met in Baltimore later
on, where all differences were healed,
and Mr.. Cleveland in person rendered
Mr.. Hill the portfolio of state. This
would result in the following changes
in New York State: Gov. Flower and
Edward Murphy Jr. will both be sent to
the United States senate, placing Lieut..
Gov. Sheehan in the governors chair.

New YORK, Dec. 5.-President-elect
Cleveland was apparently up to his
ewes i'm business this evening when a
reporter called 10 ascertain Llle uIutu Vi
the announcement in the Albany Times
Union that Senator David B. Hill had
been rendered the portfolio of sec
retary of state. He sent down
word that he was too busy to be
seen and refused to grant the reporter
personal interview. In answer, how
ever, to the paragraph announcing Sen
ator Hill as premier OF Mr. Cleveland's
cabinet, the president-elect sent the
following note: 80 far as | know, not
single word of truth in the state
ment." Mr.. Cleveland had written the
word above, but scratched it out and
substituted "stutf'' as more probably
emphasizing his denial.
Hill Also Denies 1t.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. = Senator
HIPS attention being called this
evening to a Washington dispatch to
the Albany Times Union, he at first
declined to discuss the matter. but
finally consented to state that he had
not been rendered cabinet position by
Mr.. Cleveland. and did not expect it.

THE NATIONS VOTE.
Official Figures Will Show Il to Be
About 12,OOO.OOO.

The complete returns have now been
received from all the states of the Union
except Idaho, Michigan, Nevada and
Oregon. Upon these the estimates
of pluralities given are not more
than a few hundred from what
the official figures will be. The
table below shows that Cleveland re-
ceived 5.337, ,O55 votes, Harrison 1876
629, Weaver 957.742. BidWell 261 12l,
total of II Az. .546. Cleveland'S plurality
is 1927. The figures below, with the
totals for Michigan and Oregon
added, show that Cleveland re-
ceived about the same total vote as
four years ago in spite OF the fact that
he had no ticket in several Western
states, and that Harrison ran nearly
half million behind his vote of lSSS.
With the complete vote of the
states which are represented in the
table only by pluralities, the total vote
will reach 12,0O0,000, about 100000 more
than the vote of four years ago, which
etfectually sieIceS the crOakerS who
claimed that many voters refused to
90 to the polls. The result is appended: ::

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-lnquiry at
Mr.. Baine's residence this evening
elicits simply the response through an
attendant that MIR Blaine'S condition
is about the same" From another
source it is learned that his condition is
less favorable than it was this morning.
Although there is no danger, appar-

Mr.. Blaine is very sick man, and his
present condition eXciteS the gravest
fears. 1t is, in fact, so serious that
there is said to be only possibility of
his recovering sufficiently to admit OF
his removal to a milder climate. A
person qualified to speak by reason of
relationship with the family says:
1T is only within the past four days
that MIR. Blaine'S family has fully real
lied that the strands OF his life are rap

He is much emaciated as compared with
his condition six days ago. Until quite
recently Mr.. Blaine has not felt in

Now he speaks upon that subject freely;
Is preparing for the end, and

the eX-Secretary was resting comfort
ably, and that if there was any change
in his condition it was for the better.
He said that there was no foundation
for the rumor that the family was APP
prehensive. 1t was true that his father
was a sick man, and while he kept
bed his friends were naturally anxious,
but there was no cause for alarm. MI.
Blaine said that as SoOD as his fathers
condition permitted it the family would
leave for Washington, but it was not yet
decided where they would go. Their

an senators to resent streuously the as

Il Chicago Paper.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-An.evenlng paper
this afternoon prints some interesting
matter in connection with the Cronin
case, and says that evidence is accumu-

people in prison. The paper claims to
have in its possession a copy of let
ter written by the late Martin
Burke, dated: aWinnipeg, August,
1891, addressed to John Murphy,
and asking him to send him S150
for which he says he will send certifi-

on he says: II am willing to risk all IN
connection with this matter, and death
will not deter me from doing what the
&c. \. G. details me on, and allowing
me to DO so III my own time and place.
This | must insist on as being only

mark OF June 10, and reached Port
Arthur on the 11th. Burke arrived in
Winnipeg on the 18th and was arrest

ernoon and evening sessions of the fif-
teenth annual dairymen's convention
were ones which. in view of the num-
Der of valuable and thoughtful ideas
presented by the speakers. were very
beneficial, ard at the same time most
instructive. 1t is impossible to bring
such enthusiastic. scientific workers as

Uutes: S. NJ. Owen is already well
known; Prof. Pendergast, of the uni
versity agricultural school, is great
thinker, and E. q. Potter is practical
hustler.
Others might be mentioned, but these
afford an idea of the character of the
convention. During the afternoon The
odore Louis discussed the Pig as an
Adjunct to the Dairy" Following Mr..
Louis ex-Gov. Hoard described from a
diagram the only cow stable that salts
fed him in reference to cleanliness and
the health of the COW. He objects to
dehorning thoroughbred cattle, and pre-

Beatty, who is alleged to be implicated
in the Homestead poisoning conspiracy,
reached Pittsburg from Louisville this
morning in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Farrell. He was taken to Aid. Nc
Masters Office, when an additional
information of felonious assault was
lodged against him. He was then
taken to Jail, where lie is held in s., 200
bail for a hearing on Dec. 10. Beatty
said he was innocent and the charges
maiciously false. This afternoon At
torney Brennan visited the jail and held
consultation with Beatty. He will al
once take steps to secure bail Tor the
prisoner.
Capt. E. Y. Breck was asked whether
further information had been made in
view of the disclosures against Dempsey
and others. He replied that as yet none
had been made, and he could not say
how soon there would be. He said
there would probably be no additional
developments this week. Master
Workman Dempsey was at his Office
all day, and, while he did no
say So, 1t was plain that
was expecting arrest and was prepared
for it, having consulted his attorney. He
said he would remain silect until the
matter came up in court. Patrick Gal
Iagher, the cook who made the confes-
sion, is yet in hiding and has not been
seen around his usual haunts by his as
sociates. The impression prevails that
he is being kept under cover until the
hearing next Monday, when he will be
produced in Squire McMasters' office.
