San Francisco. Jan. 12.-The final pa
per in the Durrant case was filed
yesterday afternoon in the Office of
the clerk of the supreme court. No
further legal proceedings can be taken
in this celebrated case until the SUI
preme court renders its opinion in de-
cision of it. The cause has been under
submission since Oct. 81 1896. at which
time no briefs had been filed. but an
order of the court permitted those Of
both the appellant and respondent to
be fled in order that it might be helped
in it's delberation of the cause. The
brief contains 70 pages. 1t goes into
the testimony of witnesses for the
prosecution with the assertion that not
one has shown by competent evidence
the connection of Durrant with the
murder of Miss Lamont, and that his
alibi is complete; that no witness was
produced who knew Durrant who could
identify him as a companion of the
dead girl at any of the times immedi-
ately prior to the commission of the
crime.
The admission of jurors Nathan and
Croker are vigorously attacked pe-
cause of their bias against the de-
PENDANT.
The dismissal of Juror Brown is al
legged as an error. 1t is maintained
that the life of Durrant was one that
would preclude the possibility of the
thought that he had any criminal in
stincts, and that his acts at the time
of the commission of the crime were
those of an innocent man.
At present the court is behind seven
months in submissions. and decision
in this case can hardly be expected
before May next.

The L,1eteert Trial.

CHIcAo, Oct. 19.-At 10 o'clock this
morning Judge Tuthil sent word that
he was within easy reach and would
come to the court room Immediately
upon notification that his presence was
desired by the Luetgert jury who re-
tired yesterday evening to deliberate
on verdict. At noon the jury had
been out nineteen hours. All sorts oil
conjectures are made as to the verdict
which will be rendered, but there is no.
thing to afford any ground for them
The belief is strengthing rapidly that
the result of the jury's deliberations
will be disagreement.
At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon States
Attorney Deneen said that the latest
and best information he bad on the
attitude of the jury was that eight
stood for conviction and the infiction
of the death penalty and that four were
holding out for acquittal.
a verdict is not expected to night, as
cots have been ordered for the jury.

STATE POLITICS.

A letter from Richmond says it if
generally believed the vote to be cast
in Virginia on the second day of No
vember will the smallest polled in this
State in many years. There is a lack
of interest on account of the fact that
the democratic ticket is in no apparent
danger of defeat. Tyler's vote will in
all probability fall below 100, 900, while
McCaull will be doing we'll under the
existing circumstances to get $1,000.
One of the most remarkable things
about this canvass is that the repuoll-
cans have not made nominations for
the Senate and House in several dis
tricts that they carried by safe MAORI
ties last fall In certain districts where
the democrats expected to have hard
fights, their candidates have no opposi-
ton whatever.
Fitz Lees friends are forming infor-
NAL organizations in all parts of the
State and are preparing TO begin to
make red hot canvass for their man
who desires to succeed Mr.. Martin in
the Senate. General Lee has not been
idle since he has been in Virginia, but
almost daily has conferred with his
leutenants. The Lee people are work
ing on the senatorial candidates and
claim to have a majority of them on
their side. When Lee returns from
Cuba after surrendering the consul
generalship he will begin a systematic
canvaes of the State. He will speak in
every county and city and will invite
his opponent or opponents to meet him
on the stump. This contest promises
to be one of the most interesting Vir.
GINA has had in a long time. Lee and
his friends will seek to have primary
election to settle the question of who
shall be the nominee.

THE POSSIBLE result of the coming
mayoralty election in New York seems
to be OF more interest to the people
throughout the country than that even
of their own State elections. All good
and true democrats hope Mr.. Van
Wyck may be elected, because he is
the. regular nominee of the only regular
democracy of New York city, Tam
many. The convention that nominal
cd him, to be sure, did not reindorse
the Chicago platform, as it should have
done, but it selected as its candidate q
man who voted for that platform and
for the nominee who ran upon it, and
all good democrats believe that Mr.
Cleveland's advice, given FIVE years ago
is as good now as it was then, which
was, that the only way by which
party can expect to succeed is to abide
by the action of its regular conven

Yellow Fever.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19.-Half a
dozen cases and two deaths was the 10
o'clock report to the board Of health
touching the local fever situation. The
weather this morning was cool and
damp and dangerous for the sick. There
does not seem any immediate likeli-
hood that the present spell of weather
will be broken soon. A number of in
stances have happened recently where
patients have been taken to the hos,
pitfalls in street cars end other vehicles
Currency is now being disinfected in
the local banks. 1t is considered a
medium for the transmission of germs.
Mr.. GeddiDgs, of the Marine Hospital
service, has gone to franklin to look
into alleged new cases there. The new
cases at Patterson are considered to
have developed from the fatal case re-
ported in that town some days ago.
