of F. L. Taylor of Plainfeld, n. j., the
questions that were put to them: e. l..

York city and c. B. Gorby of Pittsburg.
E. Simpson, IA sophomore, was sworn,
and when asked if he knew who attempted
to break up the freshmeu's dinner by
means of chlorine gas he said he refused to
answer under the advice of counsel. When
asked if he refused because his reply would
tend to inCriminate himself he made the
same reply. The district attorney asked
him several questions which he refused to
answer
Mr.. Mckinney. the plumber, was called
up again and asked if he recognized any of
the young men named above as of the
party who bought the rubber tubing from
him. He said he did not.
After some further testimony the jury
retired to deliberate, and when they re-
turned they announced that they had ad-
journed until March 10 without arriving
at a verdict Coroner Brown said that it
was not his fault that the jury did not
take any action and that he was in favor
of arresting Dingens. "Of course" he
added. II will order his arrest, but will not
do so at present, since the majority of the
jury and the district attorney are opposed
to such action. They believe there is not
enough evidence to hold him." District
Attorney Jennings presented all the wit
nesses except Dingens who refused to an
swer questions with subpenas to appear
before the grand jury which sits March IL.

He Now Wears Striped Suit and Has
Parted With Whiskers and Diamonds.
SING SING, March 2.-John Y. McKane
is now in prison here, where he is to serve
six years for his political crime in the last
election. When he was handed over to the
warden, McKane removed his gold watch
and chain from his waistcoat, took his dia
mond ring from bis finger, his diamond
stud from his shirt, as we'll as his diamond
sleeve buttons, and gave them to Stryker
Williamson to take home for him.
After the formality of taking his pedi-
gree McKane was taken into the prison
barber shop, accompanied by Sheriff Butt
ling, Deputy Sheriff Davidson and Stryker
Williamson. He was placed in the bar
ber's chair, and his mustache and imperial
that have formed so distinctive a part of
his personal appearance were quickly shaw
ed off. Mechanics head was not shaved.
He was then given bath. He was next
handed a convict's suit of stripes, which he
put on himself.
This rough suit consisted of a brown
flannel shirt and white and black striped
coat, vest and trousers. No cell was as
signed him. He will for the present be in
what are known as the idle ranks McKane
went through all this ordeal with firlnness
and showed no signs of depression.

CORBETT ACQUITTED.
Jury Decided That Assault aud Battery
Was Not Committed.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 1.-The jury
in the case against James j. Corbett,
charged with violating the laws of Florida
by engaging in prize fight, was out but
16 minutes and returned verdict of not
guilty. A broad smile spread over Cor
belts face he heard these reassuring
words, and the sports who crowded the
courtroom would have cheered had they
not been informed by Judge Phillips when
the jury came that he would send any per-
son to Jail for contempt who dared express
audible approval or disapproval of the
verdict.
Charley Mitchell was present when the
verdic6 was announced, and he leaned over
and grasped Corbett by the hand aud
whispered congratulations. Mitchell of
course considered the verdict in the Zig ut
of a practical acquittal for himself, as
case against him of similar nature Is
pending. The proceedings leading up to
the verdict We're very tame.
Judge Phillips said in charging the jury:
I'm considering the guilt or innocence of
the defendant under the second count of
the inforn.ation-that is to say, the count
charging assault and blttery--if it appears
from the evidence that the blows We're
given a result of compact which the
parties naturally agreed upon and entered
into and consented to, the court instructs
you that if such blows We're given in a con
test which was in the usual course of
things and was being carried on in such n
manner as would not inflict or cause bodi-
ly harm or injury, it excuses assault and
battery, and the defendant under such cir
cumstances cannot be found guilty of as
sault and battery"
Corbett left for New Orleans with the
"a fter Dark COmDany Mitchell is still
here and will remain until the case against
him is either tried or not proved. The
sports feel jubilant over the outcome, and
members of the DuYal club say they pro
pose to pull off the Corbett-Jackson mill

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Annie New York. the eight years old
daughter of George New York of SOC
Bank street, died this morning The
funeral will take place at , o'clock to-
morrow afternoon with services in st Pat
rick's church.
The reporter is in hot water over the
item that appeared in this column the other
evening in reference to jackson street.
The people at this side of Bank street
bridge claim this column as their own and
do not care to see anything printed in it
except what occurs in this section of the
town. a committee of three prominent
citizens hailed the scribe to-day and
threatened to shoot HIM at sight if he ever
committed the Otfense again. On the other
hand residents of jackson street are il -
dIgnant at the idea of putting them among
the people beyond the bridge and request
that whenever the place Is referred to
again it should be mentioned in the general
news department. Their street, they say,
was known in the map of Waterbury when
the whole territory beyond the river was
but barren wilderness.

LABOR FORCES AT WAR.
The Knights of Labor and the Federation
Lock Horns Again.

BOSTON March 2-The smoldering fire
of rivalry and hostility between the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the Knights
Of Labor in this city has broken out anew
and threatens to involve these two great
labor organizations in protracted strug
gle that will extend over the entire coun-
try. This time the Knights seem to be the
aggressors. By a bit of stratagenH they
have spoiled a settlement between the larg-
Ist federation union in the city and its
most powerful adversary just at time
when a settlement would have saved the
union from what now threatens to be dis
solution.
About six months ago the United Gar
ment Workers union of the American
Federation of Labor composed of 500 gar
ment workers, placed boycott on the
product of the shops of the clothing manu-
facturers of this city.
The grievance was that the manufacture
ers, acting as the Clothing Manufacturers
association, refused to accede to the unions
demand that all goods should be marked
by the union label. The fight has been
bitter one, and tue manufacturers have
been sending their goods away from the
city to be made. Both parties have recent
ly shown anxiety for settlement, and
both sides made concessions, and n settle
ment seemed imminent. when the manu-
facturers@suddenly broA9 off all negotia-
tions, and the chances of the union of
making this important adjustment became
nil.
1t appears that the knights of Labor
people went to the manufacturers and sue
ceeded in inducing them to cease all recOg-
milton of the federation people and to rec
ognize them. the Knights of Labor, claim
ing that majority of the garment work
ers in the city were in the ranks of their
organization already, and that the others
We're bound to be there within very short
time.
The manufacturers took their side of the
case and refused to treat further with the
union. The federation people denounce
the action of the Knights as an unwarrant-
ed interference and gross outrage. The
officials of the knights of Labor say that
the boycott was unwarranted from the
first, and that it has been the means of
bringing hundreds of men and women to
the verge of starvation and pauperism.
