JURY IS HANGING
s. F. LANE WANTS THE CITY re
PAY HIN DaMAGE.
He Fell Down on the Ice and Sued the City
for Ten Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
Case Gone TO the Jury After a Three
Days Trial--Demage Cases Have Be
come Monotonous and the City Viii
Fight All Such Claims-Lane Claims
the Paving Was the Cause of His Injury
City Trys to Disprove That.

The case of S. F. Lane VS.. the city
Of Wichita has occupied the time OF
the district court for the past three
days. II is damage suit in which Mr..
Lane sued the city for sl0.5O0
The plaintiff is represented by j. K.
Beaucamp and Amidon & Conley. while
Adams & Adams are looking after the
interests of the city of Wichita.
These damage suits and claims for
damage against the city have become
uncomfortably numerous and the
mayor and city council have finally
determined TO compromise no more OF
them but TO fight every one or them TO
a finish and let the men who have just
claims collect them by law.
The plaintiff in this case is quite an
old man and was injured by fall on
the ice at the intersection Of Market
and Second streets on the 9Th day Of
February, 1893 He presented a claim
for $1,000 to the city concil but that
body refused to allow it and suit was
brought in the district court for SIG, 800
as above stated.
Judge Reed instructed the jury that
Mr.. Lanes offer TO compromise on
$1,000 did not invalidate Mr.. Lanes
lOT SlU.0UU
law and evidence he was entitled TO
that amount.
Messrs. Conley and Beaucamp made
a strong fight for their client and at
tempted to show that their client was
injured because of the ice on the cross
ing OF Second street on Market and
that the was there because of a de-
lection in the construction of the pave
ment at that point
Adams S Adams made just as able
a fight for the city and the whole con-
tract for paving Market street was
laid before the jury and as was the re-
port of the city engineer and other
evidence going to prove that the city
had exercised due care in the conStruc-
ton of the pavement and sewer.
The case was ably argued by both
sides and was given to the jury yes
terday afternoon and not having
agreed upon a verdict when court ad-
journed they We're ordered TO return a
sealed verdict, which cannot be known
until court cOnveneS today.

"Aftcr Your

A well known barr.Ater relates the fol.
lowing story with great gusto. Some time
ago he had under cross examination q
youth from the country who rejoiced in
the name of Samson, and whose replies
were provocative of much laughter in the
court.

a peacefully disposed and inoffensive kind

Yes"
And that you have no desire to follow

Calls Foot Jelly and Glue.

Calls foot jelly or gelatin, which ap-
pears on the table in the form of various
delicate soups and desserts, is made by ex-
actly the same process as glue and from
exactly the same materials. Greater care
is taken, however, in selecting the parts
of the animal to be used, and they are also
cleaned much more carefully. After COM
ing from the cooling room gelatin Is
spread much thinner on the wire netting
than glue, and when it is dry girls cut it
up with scissors into pieces about six
inches long by three inches broad, and it
is in this form that it often appears in the
market. Some manufacturers, however,
break it up into fine pieces and sell 1t in
small packages. Gelatin is much more
expensive than glue, and great number
of dainty dishes can be made from IL.
Isinglass, or fish glue, is another product
Of the glue factory and is much priced as
a gum for the sealing of letters and the
FASTING of scrapbooks. 1t is also used in
the making of confectionery.-Ch

JOHN MEAGHER TALKS.
He Thinks Talbot Will ne Convicted Surely
in September.

John Meagher is in the city return
ing from Wellington, where he had been
for the past month attending the trial
Of the case of the state against jim
Talbot. He is very much disappointed
and thinks there ought 70 have been
conviction if the jurymen did their duty
and had not permitted themselves TO be
governed by outside influences. He says
there is no question but what the evil
dence was strong enough 10 convict
Talbot. He says the case will come
UP again in September. and that there
is hardly a doubt but what Talbot
will then be convicted. Bail in the
case has been refused. He says that
since the end of the trial the state has
ascertained some additional evidence
that is quite strong. Mr.. Meagher is
quite offended over a squih in a Wei
lington paper which made some insinu-
atoms against the character Of his
dead brother

Walker was about TO take another shot

that there was a fine shower there in

Under the head of new business
C. B. Ripley handed in a commu-
nication from the Kilohana Art
League to the effect that the mem
bers wished to be released from any
understanding involving the rent
of room in the upper part of the
new Y. NJ. G. A. gymnasium.
Mr.. Ripley stated in this connec-
ton that while no written contract
regarding the matter had been en-
tered into, a verbal understanding
had been reached. The art league
wanted to rent a room in the new
building, and specified slight
changes in the original plans, for
which they agreed to pay. The
art league was released from its
verbal contract and the matter re-
ferred to the board Of directors for
consideration.
The report Of the last meeting of
the board Of directors was read for
the information of the Association.
The board recommended that a
committee on physical training
and one on education be added to
the list of standing committees.
This was granted by the Associa-
ton, and a resolution to that effect
was laid on the table for consider
alton at the next meeting.
The board further recommended
that D. w. Corbett, secretary of
the Association, be given a leave of
absence, ranging anywhere from
three to four months. Mr.. Corbett
stated he intended to take a course
in some gymnasium in the States
in order to better fit himself for the
work in the new physical depart
ment.
MIR. Corbett was granted a leave
of absence as recommended by the
board.
In addition to these, the board
recommended the election of w. A.
Bowen and G. B. Ripley as assist
ant editors of the Y. M. G. A. pub
LEGATION, This was unanimously
consented to.
A person to act during the alb
sence of Mr.. Corbett as we'll as
some member to be on duty in the
hall during the evenings, was left
to the discretion Of the board of
directors.
G. B. Ripley, on vacating the
presidents chair in favor Of F. J.
Lowrey, thanked the Association
for the hearty CO operation extended
him in the work during his term of
office.
F. J. Lowrey took the chair, and,
after stating that from various
causes, the work of the coming
year would be more extensive, an
nounced the new committees.
