The Most stubborn jury Yet.

The most remarkable case in Texas
legal history was tried at Oakland be-
fore Justice English Mrs. Ella Halo
way versus J. H. Van Alstyne. The
case consumed the day and was given
to the jury at night. Before retiring
the jury demanded that each man be
paid his so cent fee. The justice de-
INJURED and ordered them to bring in a
verdict, or they would get no fee. The
jury retired, and in 10 minutes entered
court. They had sealed verdict.
Before turning it over to the justice
the jury struck for their hard earned
fees. Under protest the Justice gave
each juror 90 cents. He opened the ver-
dict, which read, 1.-THE jury cannot
agree. This enraged the court. He
demanded the so cents each. juror had
been paid. The jury refused, and the
court ordered them locked up until a
verdict was given pro or con.
After being out another hour the jury
reported they We're still unable to agree.
Judge English then demanded the re-
turn of the fees. The jurors refused to
surrender, and fine of $3.50 each was
assessed and their incarceration order
ed. A compromise was finally reached
by four of the jury returning the fees
and the other two paying the fine OF
$3.50. The higher courts will be in
fiicted with the case. st. Louis Globe

At the census of 1880 nearly "a per
cent of the colered population was un-
der 10 years of age, while at the census
of 1890 only 2S per cent was under 10
years of age. Samuel E. Tatum, a Wash
ington negro, in explaining this, says:
.'It may be fact that the colored.pop-
ulation is constantly falling off in its
increase, for which there may be great
many reasons. We should first take
into consideration the vast number Of
people of color leaving the race yearly.
There are thousands who emigrate from
the south so light in complexion that in
the north they are supposed to be white,
and in this way vast number of fam
lilies in the course of decade lose their
identity as people of color. "-W Washing

Frances willard ON Marriage.


One of Frances Wizards intimate
friends says that the great temperance
leader is personally a lovely woman
with delicate features and dainty hands,
and that her evident fascination for
men of taste is very evident. A gifted
man once wrote to her, Dear friend,
methinks your heart deceives you, for
when we meet. though you hardly look
at me, you speak kindly, and [ take
this as a token" To which she replied,
Dear brother, this is the explanation:
l had clear and direct gaze until study
weakened my eyes, and protect them
now by studying the carpet.
So uaffectedly kind and cordial to all
mankind is this famous lady that many
of them have paid her the compliment
of offering her their hearts and hands.
Indeed SO numerous and importunate are
her love letters that it is necessary to
have them answered by her secretaries
with the statement that she has no time
for other than business correspondence.
Some of these letters of late date prove
that age cannot wither nor custom stale
her infinite variety. Still, Miss Will
lard has high opinion Of men in gen
eral, though she has never honored any
man with her hand, and, to quote her
own words, IF there is a spectacle
more odious and distasteful than a man
who hates women, it is a woman who
hates men. Hert heory of marriage IN
relation to society gives this postulate,
Husband and wife are one, and that
one is-husband and wife. "

Hnntinc a Bride.

A curious custom prevails at we'd
'dings among the Soudanese Arabs. Aft
er various ceremonies, including pro-
.cession and marriage feast, the almost
invariable accompaniments Of weddings
in the east, the bridegroom is led about
8 O'Clock in the evening into a large
dimly lighted room. Here on one side,
huddled upon the floor, are the female
relatives and friends Of the bride. In
t he farther corner are four or five maid
ems of the same height and size, wear
ing precisely similar clothing and close
ly yelled. One Of these is the bride, and
the young man has to find out which it
is. If he has been wise, be has bribed
one Of the old women spectators to give
him a secret sign by which to guide his
choice. If not, he attempts to seize the
yelled figure whom he suspects to be
his bride.
If possible, she slips from his grasp
and runs away, he in hot pursuit. An
exciting chase through the chamber
follows, until he is able to catch her,
when he tears away the veil from her
face. If it is his bride. the game is end
ed, and another ceremony, called the
ghalwa, or bride dance, begins. But
if he has made wrong choice he must
try again, and the captured girl, after
rearranging her disordered dress, takes
her place again among her companions.
Again he makes selection, and aft
er another long struggle succeeds in un-
yelling a second maiden, possibly only
to find that he has caught the same girl
over again. Many hours may be con-
sumed in this way, and sometimes
morning dawns before the unlucly
bridegroom secures his bride.-Y Youth s
Companion.

The Pacific Railroads. Debt.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Ex-Governor
Hoadly, government special counsel in
Union Pacific receivership, held a con-
sultation with the house committee
on Pacific railroads today. The
Reilly bill, embracing Olney's plan, was
commented on by Hoadly as the most
practicable solution of the financial re-
'lation between the government and the
Union Pacific, and one which would
protect all interested parties. An
amendment met with favor which pro-
vides that in case it becomes necessary
for the government to foreclose, the fore
closure shall be made on the entire pro-
perty.

M. Estee, of Napa, is the republican
nominee for governor of California, hav-

by the republican state convention this
afternoon. He had three-fourths of all
the delegates, and it was walkover.

the first delegations assembled in Sacra-
mento had more than fighting chance.
The opposition, as last resort, today
vainly tried. to make a change in the
programme of the committee on order
of business, placing the nomination of
supreme justices first, and Blenner-
hassett, of Tehama, made a dramatic
speech in support of the amendment,
but it failed.

A would-be Bad Man Kil1ed.

TAHLEqUAH, I. T., June 16.-A des-
perate battle took place yesterday on the
road between Tahlequah and Rigner,
between Deputy sheriff Gourd and the
Cook gang of outlaws. Sequoyah CASTOR,
one of the possee, was killed by the out
laws, and Bob Martin was captured.
Several others of the sherif7s possee
were wounded, some of them it is said,
fatally. Cook and all but one of his
gang escaped. Since the killing of Bill
Dalton, the Cook gang is now considered
the most desperate of the territory out
laws. They were intent upon robbing a
stageload OF people on their way from
the Big Cherokee payment at Tahlequah,
when Deputy Gourd and his possee ran
them down. A courier just in from the
scene of battle brings news that the gang
is surrounded, and another bloody en-
counter is inevitable. Reinforcements
are hocking to the sheriff

the subtreasurer to secure all gold pos
sible here, and asking the banks and
others to. exchange gold in the sums of

rency. The Ohio Valley bank had
promised the subtreasury $50, 900 of gold
today. but the prospect of a premium
on gold renders it doubtful whether any
coin will be released here. Thomas
Emery, one of the largest investors here,
has for some time make all his contracts

they propose to adopt the same policy.

broke out in the Mary Lee mine, 10

men from escape who were working in
the rear part of the mine. The work of
rescuing went on for several hours, and
by dark every man who was alive had
-heen taken out. 1t is believed all the
men have been accounted for. Those
working far back in the mine could not
pass out. They were loaded in tram
cars and drawn through the smoke and
flames. Four of the number were taken
out dead. They were:

mine; G. w. Baskins, William Nc

TO END TOMORROW
The Income Tax Will Be Up for
Debate.
AND THE BILL WILL PASS
The Government Wants to Exchange
Its Notes for Cold Charged With
Buying Votes.
AND THE BILL WILL PASS
No Contest over sugar or wool.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Very rapid
progress was made on the tariff bill to-
day. The income tax had been reached
when the senate adjourned. Only 81
pages of the bill, the income tax and the
internal revenue features, remain. un-
disposed Of, and the end of the long de-
bate seems close at hand. The remain
ing features of the free list were COM
pleted today without friction. Both
sugar and wool, the great controversial
items, contrary to the expectation, did
not give rise to debate, The contest
over the income'tax, which promises to
be extremely interesting, if not SEN
sational, will begin tomorrow. It is the
general expectation that it will occuI V
two days. The debate will largely de-
pend upon Hill, and he has expressed
the opinion that two days will be sufi-
cient to dispose of the matter. The dis
position of the republicans is to let the
democrats settle the matter among
themselves.
When the debate was resumed today
the pending question was Peffer's
amendment to place salt on the dutiable
list at cents per 100 pounds. The pre-
sent duty is 8 cents. Peffer explained
that, personally, he favored free salt,
but his constituents were interested in
salt manufactures and believed they
would be injuriously affected by placing
salt on the free list. A vote was then
taken and the amendment was lost, "a
to 35. The finance committees amend
ment, restricting the tree entry of raw
silk to such as was not manufactured in
any way, was agreed to. When sugar
was reached Aldrich merely demanded
a yea and nay vote on the finance COM
mittee's amendment to strike it from
the free list, where it was placed by the
house, and the committees amendment
was carried, 80 to %. The republicans,
except Gray, voted solidly against and
the democrats for it.
