MR.. WINFIELD SURPRISED.
Five of an Old Jury Get In on the
Burglars Second TriaI.

A trial in the Court of General Sessions
yesterday had a peculiar ending and
one that caused much dissatisfaction in
the minds of Judge Hudspeth and Dis
trict Attorney Winfield.
A week ago John Carroll. John Flynn
and James Carroll were tried on an in
dictment for. having burglars tools in
their possession. The JGry failed to agree
and yesterday they were again tried. Mr..
Winfield is fully convinced that the men
should be convicted. They are hard cases
and two of them admitted having done
time" for crimes. The Prosecutor worked
hard with the witnesses and after making
out a strong case. he e1oouently APP
pealed to the jury to convict the accused
and when they retired he felt satisfied
they would do so. This belief gradually
grew less strong as the jury continued
out and after a couple of hours had
elapsed and no verdict was found the
Prosecutor Begin 70 DO some thinking.
He thought over the llumas of the jury
second trial and was dismayed to find
that five of the men who served on the
first trial were on the present one. He
communicated with the Court and the
jury was sent for.
When asked If there were any Jurors
on the case that were on the former
one five of the jurors replied yes. Judge
mistrial and gave the Jury a lecture
that they will never forget. 1t is said
that these urymen opposed a verdict
when out yesterday.

THE BICYCLE VS.. THE HORSE.

In spite of the frequency of the allie
cation that the bicycle had superseded
the horse, there seems to be just as many
driving accidents this season as usual.
1t seems, indeed, as If there were rather
more than usual, SO that the possibility
suggests itself that the horse gets some
what less exercise thar in former years
and is friskier in ~sequenc In con-
sidering the effect of the bicycle mania
on the popularity of the horse, it is worth
while to remember that not one person
in ten who rides a bicycle now ever own
ed a horse, or was ever an important
patron OF livery stables. To most bicy-
clists the bicycle is not a substitute for
other means of locomotion, but is a clear
gain, giving them the means Of going
where they will, whereas before they had
practically nc. such means except their
own legs n the street cars. People
who can afford to keep horses for pleas
ure seem very generally to continue to
keep and use them. though, to be sure,
they have bicycles too, and their horses
nave rather more idle days han they
used to have.-5arper's Weekly.

THE NEW YORK YOUNG MAN.

Fifth avenue is thronged with church
parade. There one sees in all his SPLEEN

how, Notwithstanding all his efforts to
be English, he never quite effects it.
Either his hat is too curly, his coat too
long. or his trousers overpressed. He
looks like an advertisement for a fash

the wide difference between gentlemanly
and a gentleman.

The open air fair of the South Ber-

opened last night. The scene was more
l:fe-like than it was Monday night, the
tents being crowded. The feature Of
the evening was the wood-sawing con-
test by four young ladies. Although
the fair young sawyers handled the saws
like n~oyices. their movements were grace
full, and the contest ELECTED much ap-
plause. There was no accident other
than a torn dress. Miss May Taylor
was the winner. She had been selected
to act as referee. but went into the con-
test to fill the place of one of the
young ladies, Miss Katie Smith. who
was absent.
The other three contestants were not
satisfied with the decision of the ref
cree. and thought that they could give
a better account Of themselves if given
another chance; Miss Taylor was per-
opportunity. and the contest will be re-
peated tonight.
There will be another special feature
several young ladies will ontest for a
prize. These prizes will be awarded on
the last night of the fair.

THE DISEASE OF NATIONS.

When Sir Austin Layard was told that
the Arabs had no narcotics, he asked
what they did when any one could not
sleep. DO replied the practical son
of the desert, why we set them to
watch the camels!' From this it is evil
lent that insomnia Is unknown in the
desert. For no one can v~igilantly watch
unless he can also soundly sleep. And
as it is with individuals SO it is with
communities. Nations sometimes. k
France in the revolutionary frenzy, seem
to lose the faculty of sleep. Their mind,
perpetually alert, becomes at last pre-
ternaturaliy irritable. The power of per-
ception become diseased. They no long,
err discriminate between shadow and
substance. The nervous tension grows
even more and more acute until a Crisis
supervenes.-Catholic Standard.

HOW THE State GROWS
Material Increase in the Pop
ulation Of the Principal
Cities.

The results of the census in the princi-
pal cities of the State show a large in
crease over the census Of 1890, all the
cities sharing in this increase. but in
different degrees.
1t Is probable that the Increase has
peen mainly in the cities and that the
rural sections Will show comparatively
little change. The population of the
entire State, according to the census of
1890, was 1,444.93 and if there IS not a
failing off in sections not reported. the
census this year ought to reach the
total of 1000, 900.
