The IamS Case.
THE JURY FINDS A VERDICT or NOT
GUILTY.

THE JURY FINDS VERDICT or NOT
GUILTY.
PITTsTBURG, Nov. 5.-When the court
opened this morning the jury in the Iams
case had not agreed on verdict. II
came into court at 10 o'clock and the fore
man said: "a question arose in our de-
alterations which we desire the Court to
answer, and we do not wish to ask it
openly, and submit it to you in writing"
Judge Porter: The subject of your in
ouiry is wholly lmmaterlal on the ques-
ton. 1t csnnOt enter into this case; any
Other action between these parties cannot
enter into this case. As to instrIc tons
given YOU in assault and battery to find
the defendants not guilty, propose that
Won shall obey the Court. You. of course,
NAV ignore the instructions. You are
the iHdees of the fact and of law not
tbe law You think it shOuld be, but what
il is. We have told yon what the Supreme
Court of the United States says the law
is. and that is the law you want to know.
If any man on this jury thinks he knows
more than the Supreme Court of the
United States of course he VIII stick TO
his opinion. II is a shame, however, that
man with such profound knowledge
should waste his time in jury-box. Iou
are not TO be guided 10y your feeling or
your prejudice. Aoy juror who does this
breaks down every security OF justice,
interferes with the administration OF
Justice and violates all security for justice
aud equity. The instructions given you
were plain, and there should be no trouble
TO you Is there anything further you
desire me TO say
The jury again retired and shortly
afterwards brought in a verdict OF not
guilty.

Ia II Russian Grip 2

Grin. or a disease akin to it, and
Thought 20 be more fatal in it's work, has
arrived in New York. 1t is of the in
6ueuza pattern and has been prevalent to
a small extent for some days. 1t has
gained so rapidly, however, that the at
tention of the Board Of Health has been
called closely to it and heap of study /;
being DEVOTED to the subject. 80,
A bulletin was posted n the Health
ID ,partment last week announcing the
death of two people from this disease.
The symptoms are said to be those OF the
Russian grip, with additional compiica-
tions. which serve to develop an intricate
mass of conf ANTS.

Counting the Electoral Votes.

Counting the Electoral Votes.
The act of Congress. passed in 1851,
regulating the counting of the votes cast
bv the electoral colleges of the States for
President and Vicc-President provides
for the settlement of contests in the cleo
toral vote by the States themselves
wherever they have provided by law for
such settlement and that the State de-
cison shall be conclusive and final. The
electoral vote of no State, where but one
lawful return has been received, can be
rejected. Where there was more han
one return from State, that Return sign
ed by electors whose appointment shall
have been duly certified by the State ex-
ecutive and duly attested shall be count
ed, unless thrown ont by the concurrent
vote of both houses Of Congress. SThe
two houses of Congress meet on the sec
ond Wednesday in February to canvass
the vote, aud the announcement OF the
result, where a candidate has a majority
is a sufficient declaration Of the election
of that candidate. The election of 1890
not only gave the House of Representa-
tives to the Democrats, bu5 the gov
ernors of most of the doubtful States and
all the Democratic States except Con-
neotcut.

Friday Not the Most Unlucky Day

A statistician of the German Govern
ment has come to the rescue of these per-
sons who do'not share the widespread
superstition that Friday is the most un-
lucky day of the week. A short time
ago he determined to make scientific
investigation of this question, using for
the purpose, among other things, the
records Of the department of compulsory
insurance. The most fatal or unfortunate
week day, according to the investigator,
is not Friday, but Monday. Sixteen and
seventy-four hundredths per cent. of all
accidents, II seems, occurred on that day
1851 per cent. on Tuesday, 1851 per cent.
on Wednesday. 15.47 per cent. on Thurs
day, 16 80 per cent. on Friday. the same
ptr cent. on Saturday, aud 269 per cent.
on Sunday. Comment upon tho small
percentage of accidents on the first day
of the week is unnecessary. TIE COM
piler of the table, however, attributes the
large relative ndm5er OF accidents on
Monday to the excessive amount Of
liquor consumed on Sunday.

The gifts of God to our people during

reverence for law; Ne has widened our
philanthropy by call to succor the
distress in other lands; lie has blessed
our schools and is bringing forward
patriotic and God fearing generation to
execute His great and benevolent designs
for our country He has given us great
increase in material wealth and in the
diffusion of contentment and comfort in
the homes of our people; He has given
His grace to the sorrowing,
Wherefore, 1, Benjamin Harrison, Pres
ident of the United States, do call upon
ali our people to observe, as we have been
wont, Thursday, the 2l.h day of this
month of November, as day of thanks
giving to God tor His mercies, and of sup
plication for His continued care and
grace.
In testimony whereof have hcreunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
fourth day of November, one thousand
eight hundred and nnety-two, and of the
Independence of the United States the
one hundred and seventeenth.

A DavisviIle Damsel's Lament

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: l notice in the
RECoRD-UNIoN this morning that some
of your prominent young men have had
the good Judgment to show the balance
of the backward towns in this State what
can be done in the way of advertising
their own locality, when push and en-
ergy is required to do it, in the way of
open-air concerts.
We, here in Davisville, have plenty of
material to get up attractive amusements
of this kind, if they only had a little
of the ''git-up-and-git" that your young
men are so abundantly possessed of; and
l do sincerely wish that you would send
the President Of your Concert Committee,
General MARITIME, over here for a day to
stir up our home talent little in the way
of following the example of Sacramento
in this respect. If he comes, you can
promise him the hearty support of every
young lady of this town, and we will
treat him royalty during his stay. We
need someone with energy like his to stir
up our young men.
Davisville is backward about coming
forward with some amusement to while
away our dull Sundays, and open-air
concerts would be to US what the blessed
rains are to the parched sands of South
ern California.
Sacramento is doing wonders in show
ing what can be done to keep her people
pleasantly employed during the hot sum-
mer months, and if we can't get up some
thing here we will have to go over to
your town, that is all.
A LOVER OF PROGRESS.
Davisville, April 18th.
