10000 Pounds.
a PLUCkY PRIZE FIGHTER

CHICAGO, October 19 1t was said,
at IL o'clock, that four jurors stand out
for the acquittal of Luetgert, but two
OF these show signs of weakening. The
jurors took two ballots during the
night. Ga the first the vote was
Conviction, seven; acquittal, four;
undecided, one. The second ballot
showed eight for convicllo1 and four
for acquittal. And there the jury
stood throughout the night aud this
morning.
All night long hundreds of people
thronged the streets around the court
house waiting for word from thu jury.
When the court re- e-convened, last night
at s O'Clock, the room was jammed.
A little after / o'clock, this morning,
Judge Tuthill sent message to the
jurors that he intended to 60 home. and
court stood adjourned until to-day.
Over in the Jail, the man whose life
hung in the balance, slept through it
all, Ikea child.
At 1880 p. M, the Luetgert jury was
still out. and lndicitionS polnt TO a
disagreement. At IL o'clock Judge
Tuthill went into consultation with
states Attorney Deneen and Attorney
Vincent, and they are still cossted.
All preparations are being made for au
early verdict.
LATER-The conference between
Judge Tuthill, Deneen and Vincent
has just been concluded, and Judge
Tuthill announces that he will convene
court at 3 p. m. at which time
verdict is expected. Rumors to the
effect that verdict OF acquittal has
been reached are flying thick and fast;
the attorneys on both sides, however,
say that there are no grounds for such
rumors.
The prospects for verdict are less
ening. The jury has deliberatsd con-
tinuouslY since O'Clock, and the door
To their room has not been opened since.
The twelve men are almost worn out,
and it is possible they will retire early
and return their verdict to morrow.

What matter though summer be dying
What matter though leaves be afying,
And waving their last adieu?
Weep not that the year grows older,
Nor sigh that tha months grow colder,
For autumn is beautiful, too.
Why sorrow, that days are decliningi
Why weary yourself with repining,
Because few pleasures are fed?
For every joy that is leaving,
A new one you'll soon be receiving,
Another awaits you instead.

The pleasures have been divided,
Each season has joys of its own.
