How . widow Made Use Of What She
Heard Railroad Directors Say.
A few years ago a widow and her
daughter were occupying section in q
Pullman sleeper on the Missouri Pacific
railroad. The section next to this lady
happened to be occupied by couple Of
the directors Of that railroad. The par
tition between the two sections was 90
thin that it was not difficult for q con-
versation carried on in one section to be
beard in the other. The lady traveller
heard the two directors discussing a plan
of consolidation whereby the stock Of the
Missouri Pacific was bound to be greatly
enhanced In value.
It was then worth but 2 OF 3 cents on
the dollar. She was on her return trip
to her home in Hartford. The CONVEX
sation Of the two directors preyed on her
mind. She revolved it over and over
again until her home was reached, about
which time 5000 note due her was re-
deemed. She sent for her attorney. de-
tailed to him the conversation she had
heard and said she was almost resolved
to invest the 5000 in Missouri Pacific.
The attorney, installing her announced
resolution for irony, laughed. but the
woman Of wealth persisted.
at is but 5000" she said, land II
lose shall have just as much to eat as I
have always had and just as much to
wear. II the plans betrayed by these
two directors work out, shall make a
good deal of money buying Missouri Pa
cific."
The attorney obeyed the instructions
of his client. invested the IS, 900, and in
less than month the proposed CONSOLE
dalton was consummated, and the Hart
ford widow realized for her 81, 900 invest
ment $3.50, 900. AT the first blush this in.
cident is set down as proof Of luck.
1t was simply an unexpected exhibit
ton of what in Wall street vernacular Is
termed nerve" on the part Of quick
cared and quicker witted woman. Not
one person in 10000 would have given
any heed to the conversation referred to,
and not one of a thousand who might
have heard and needed and who hap
pened to have the money, as the widow
had it. would have dared invest it.
These incidents and illustrations might
be expanded until volumes were filed.
The evidence would be cumulative that
eyes and ears and brain make what

Among her men of years ago?

Amid the glare IF lannon's roar,
The nations yearly grand amen.
This day Of days. alone IL stands

Secured to us by patriot hands,

Thereon was reared sweet liberty.
And while the golden sunset rays
In radiance fash across the earth
We'd offer up to God all praise
For noble deeds that gave our Fourth.

Ocean Steamship Co., an action for S10,-
600 damages for injuries inflicted in 1890,

Sheeny had his leg broke in 1890 by a

necessary an amputation. He brought
suit for $4,000 and got a verdict for So,

company a new trial on several grounds.
Sheeny claimed that there should have
been hatch tender to notify the men in
the hold when bale of cotton was COM

the company, as the hatch tender had alb

The naval stores market is somewhat
unsettled. Spirits turpentine has been
gradually declining for the past month,
and yesterday it was quoted firm at PAS
cents per gallon for regular casks. The
buyers have been taking the receipts of
each day at their bids and although the
factors are somewhat discouraged at the
extremely low price, they dispose of the
stock in their hands.
The rosin market is in a state of Glow
bids but higher asked" The pale grades
have been unusually high in prices for
the past month, compared with the prices
now being paid for the low grades, and
the quotations at the same time last year
The higher grades began to decline about
a week ago, and have dropped off As cents
per barrel during that time
There appears to be a good demand for
rOsins of all grades, especially the pales,
and the factors are holding their stock at
Is cents above the prices offered by the
shippers. The sales were very light

"itdoesn't seem so, " replied Foreman j.
E Dellaunoy.
,Isit question of law or of fact upon
which YOU are at issue?" asked Judge
MacDonel.
IF it were a question of law" said the
Judge. II might determine that, but the
Jury must decide upon the facts. So you
think there is no possibility of your
coming to an agreementP
81 think there is no possibility of it,"
replied Foreman Delaney.
"Wellyo are all good intelligent men"
said the Judge, land to keep you longer
would seem like trying to coerce you into
coming to verdict against your will
That is not the intention nor
Since it is impossible for you to
come to a verdict, and considering the hot
weather, | will declare a mistrial. The
court thanks you for the careful cOnsid-
Grafton which you have given this case,
ana congratuates you upon the excellent
manner in which you have behaved under
the trying circumstances.
A NIsTRIAL DECLARED.
In accordance with these facts Judge
MacDonell entered an order declaring a
mistrial in the case.
1t seems that all of the jurors were
agreed that the bank was liable for the
receipt of the securities, but on the
question of the care in preserving them
exercised by the bank two of the jury
thought that the bank had taken ordi-
nary care and was not liable, while the
other ten thought the bank
had been guilty of neg
hgcnce and should be made to stand the
consequences.
This is one of the longest periods that
jury has ever been held out on a case in
the city court. Considering that the case
has taken up about ten days altogether at
this,term and the last, it was thought that
if there was any possibility of reaching a
verdict it should be done for the
purpose Of saving time and expense But
now the case will have to go to another
trial
One of the jurors said last night that
they would have been there a month be-
fore reaching any conclusion.
