The jurors, when they re-
tired to their room, elected W
r. Foster foreman. The next
proceeding was to take an informal
ballot before anv discussion ON the
case was had. This resulted in seven
for acquittal and one for conviction,
that one being the foreman w. r. Eos
ter. The testimony was discussed and
according to the report of the jurors
Mr.. Foster soon became convinced that
the evidence did not warrant a convic-
ton, and the next ballot, which was
taken at 8 o'clock, resulted in a unan-
imous vote for acquittal The verdict
was leisurely made out and the court
appraised of the fact that the jurors
were ready to report
A number of the jurors were seen by
a Herald reporter during the evening,
and they all said that upon the evil
dence presented they could not do
otherwise than return verdict of not
guilty. One juror said that the public
might clamor for conviction. but a
juror who is sworn to try the cause
according to the law and the evidence,
must do his duty, and keep his oath.
The jurors had patiently. thoughfully,
carefully, impartially and conscien-
tiously heard the case from start to
finish, and had rendered such verdict

BLOOMERS SHOCK THE TOWN.
Residents Of Mountain Grove, Mo-,
Dispute Over the New Woman.

Residents Of Mountain Grove, Mo-,
Dispute Over the New Woman.
Mansfield, Mo-, June 25.-The advent
of the new woman at Mountain Grove,
this county, has caused big sensa-
tion and at present the town Is divided.
A night or two ago some Of the leading
society bellies Of the place appeared in
bloomers at a public entertainment.
This was enough to shock all the good
sisters Of the various churches and
many denounced the act Of the young
women as outrageous. The Weekly
Hornet took sides with the church peo-
pie, and, in describing the affair, said
it was a most miserable attempt to
initiate the new woman, as some of the
costumes were actually vulgar, closing
with an appeal for greater efforts
toward modesty on the part Of the
young ladies'.
The Advertiser Is championing the
cause Of the young ladies', while the
leading minister has shocked his con-
gregation by coming out squarely for
the new woman under the plea Of dress
reform. The best families Of the town
are strongly arrayed against each 9TH
err, but who will come out on top re-
mains to be seen.

WOMAN TORTURED BY ROBBERS.
Kill Her Husband and Hold Her
Over Fire in Indiana.

shelbyville, Ind, June 25.-Milton
Rolley, an aged pensioner, came to this
city yesterday afternoon from his home,
seven miles north, and drew $500 from a
bank with which to pay off the balance
due on his home. Soon after drawing
the money he was seen in the company
of two well-known men drinking.
Friends prevailed upon Rolley to start
for home, which he did about dusk. Soon
after arriving home two men drove up
to his residence. called the old man out
and requested him at once to go to the
bedside of his daughter, who they said
had been taken suddenly Ill, and was
then dying. Rolley hurried to the barn
for his rig, leaving his wife preparing
to follow.
On opening the barn door he was
knocked down. Staggering to his feet
he showed fight, but was again attacked
from the rear by the second man. His
skull was crushed and four ribs broken
by the ruffiians, who then went through
his pockets without reward. They re-
turned to the house, and on Mrs. Rolley
refusing to inform them where the
money was. forced her to do so by
holding her over a natural gas fire. The
money. $50, was found under the car
pet. Rolley will die, and there are little
hopes for his wlfe's recovery. There
is talk of bringing the bloodhounds here
from Anderson to run the Williams down.

NO LAW AGAINST SNORING.
A Jersey Recorder Had a Hard Legal

New Brunswick. N. J.. June 25.-Be-
cause he snores heavily In his sleep.
John Barry was arrested today on a
warrant charging him with disturbing
the peace. Martin Albert. n cornetist.
made the charges akainst him
Albert and several other families oc-
cupy rooms in an apartment house at
No. 2l1 Burnett street. and all OF them
have been kept awake nights by the
heavy breathing Of Barry. who Is also a
tenant there. None Of those annoyed by
Barry's snoring knew where the noise
came from until Albert traced 1t to
Barry's rooms last night. Then he
awakened Barry and appealed to him
to desist.
Barry said he slept better for snoring
and as he did not hear the noise himself
did not bother about 1t.
This enraged Albert so he appeared
before Recorder Sullivan today and
charged Barry with being a disturber Of
the peace.
Recorder Sullivan thought enough Of
the case to send q policeman after
Barry, and he was arraigned in court
this afternoon. The defendant said that
II he snored he did not know it, and
what was more. he did not intend to
stay up nights to prevent 1t. Recorder
Sullivan could find no law under
which he could hold Barry, and Albert
could not suggest a plan to stop the
racket. Barry was then discharged.

office holders. Revenue Collector Sim
mons, of Raleigh, and District Attor-
ney X. b. Glenn. of Winston. heartily
Joined. Clement Manley was elected
permanent chairman.

tion appeals to the people to sustain
the Jeffersonian anti-centralization
principles; favors Independently OF 9TH
er nations free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold without discrimina-
tion of either at the present legal ratio
OF IS to L; condemns paying govern
ment debts in gold, which were specific
ally made payable In coin and instructs
the delegates to Chicago to advocate as
q unit the restoration of silver.

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS.
Macon, Ga, June 25-The caucus of
the silver men, held in advance of the
state Democratic convention last night.
practically settled the proceedings of
the convention, which was called to or
der at II o'clock noon today. Accord
ing to the caucus, everything goes the
way of the silver wing. The temporary
and permanent chairman are both sill
yer men. These places were filled re-
spectively by Clarence Wilson, Of Fort
Gaines, and Steve Clay, the present
chairman of the state committee. The
four delegates-at-large from the state
are also advocates of the white metal.
They are Evan p. Howell, Pope Brown,
Patrick Welsh and Hal Lewis.
The chairman Of the platform COM
mittee was ]. W. Robertson. The plat
form declares unqualifiedly for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1.
The conservative element have gained
one or two trifiing victories in the Or
ganization and they have succeeded in
preventing any wholesale denunciation
Of the administration. which was the
aim Of the radicals. The platform will,
however, condemn the bond issue and
touch adversely on the policies Of Presi-
dent Cleveland. Everything is ready
to push the work of the convention
through in short order

Testimony Is Introduced Favorable
to james Farrell.

to James Farrell.
Hollidaysburg, Pa, June 25.-The de-
fence opened today in the case against
James Farrell, for the murder Of Henry
Bonnecka. The defendant hopes to Sc
cure an acquittal by proving an alibi.
Farrell testified in his own behalf that
was on a drunken spree at Beaver,
Pa, the night the murder was commit
ted In Altoona. Several Allegheny
county rolling mill employees partly
corroborated his statement. His sis
ter, Mrs. James Donnelly who was to be
his strongest witness, has become de-
mented over the affair and is confined
in an asylum.
A sensation was created when Sam
uel Smith, a ten-year-old boy, testified
that he peered In the window Of Bon
necka house three days before the mur-
der was discovered and saw the corpse
lying under the bed clothes on the floor.
This alleged occurrence happened when
1t is admitted that Farrell was in Allie
gheny county. The case will go to the
jury tomorrow. -..

SOCIETY WOMEN VISIT SALOONS.
New Move Likely to Break Up the
Business in Racine.

Racine, Wis, June 25.-AnOther and
more dangerous war confronts the sa-
loonkeepers. Last night Mrs. John $.
Hart, prominent society woman,
president Of the Women's Christian
Temperance union, and four other
members Of the union visited prominent
saloons of Main and other streets, sang
songs, prayed and implored the keep
ers to discontinue the business. Many
of the patrons were prominent young
men and they bolted for the back doors
and the women had everything their
own way.
The proprietors were sorely vexed, and
some of them requested the women not
to sing but unavailingly. While no
conversions were made, 1t Is understood
that the women will continue the visits
and make every effort to prevail upon
the saloon men to close up their places.

WILL BREAK THE UNIT RULE.
Wisconsin Silverites Declare the State
Convention Set n Precedent.

Milwaukee, June 25.-The silver men
In the Wisconsin Democratic delegation
announce that they will bolt the unit
rule imposed upon the delegates by the
state convention when they vote on the
platform in Chicago.
They argue that II the national con-
vention does not insist upon the unit
rule they will not be bound by the opin-
ion of the state convention, and they
point to the fact that the convention
Tuesday refused to respect the unit rule
made by some of the counties. Having
set the example, they say, the majority
cannot object If its action receives SINH
lar treatment in the larger convention.
The action of the silver men will take
Wisconsin out of the column of solid
gold states at Chicago.
