Sixty New Cases Yesterday.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 2O.-All previ-
Gus records as to the number OF new
cases were broken to-day. Early in the
evening fifty-three new cases had been
entered in che books of the board. Al

These had all occurred during the early
morning hours and It was chaTacteriftic
OF the days events that although there
had been six deaths reported up to

CURED since noon. The weather to-day
has been not unlike that Of the entire

A WEARY VIGIL.

After the jury had gone back to their
room they argued loudly for a time and
were at II hard and fast when lunch time
arrived. There was some loud talking
during the meal, showing that the work
was going on at the table. During the
afternoon there was not a sign OF ver-
dict and no word of any kind came from
or went into the little room where the
jurors were locked up. AT times loud
talking could be heard and the tones in
dlcated anything but an atmosphere
harmony. Hour after hour the states
attorney and Luetgert's counsel waited,
but no word came out. AT o'clock din
ner was taken TO the Jurors and then
they ceased work for the night The
cots, after dinner was over, quickly put
up In the small rooms adjoining the
court room, and It was not long before
each one held a juror or bailllf and
work was over until tomorrow.
There Is very little to be thought now
of but a disagreement. II Is the general
opinion that Harley will prove firm to
the end and he may keep Holabird with
him. The counsel for the defense still
stick to their assertion of a coming ac-
auntal, but Attorney Phalen says "dlsa-
greement" as often as he says "acquit-
tai" The state Is now looking for dis
agreement, having small hope that Har-
ley Will agree to q conviction and GER
talnly not to the death penalty. The
state attorney is, however. confident that
the jury will be with him to the extent OF
ten to two or eleven TO one.
"I will have ten OF them, feel sure, "
he said. although 1t Is possible that l
may have only nine-but nine will be for
the state without the slightest doubt. II
d disagreement is the result OF the trial,
the case will be tried again as soon as
possible"
MIR. Deneen Is a hard fighter, and he
smiled tonight when asked II he intend
ed to try the case again.
"Why-most certainly We will" he
sald, land we will put up d stronger case
against him the second time than we
have this trial. Then, too Mrs. Luet-
CERT will have had just go much more
time in which to show up and as, OF
course, she will not do that, 1t will be
worse for Luetgert than II Is now"
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-10-21

disagreement will be Harley, Judge
Tuthill is determined the Jury shall have
ample time 10 consider all the evidence
In the case and he will not discharge the
Jurors before tonight or tomorrow.
States Attorney Deneen this morning
received letter from man who said he
was Dane and who added that he knew
Harley In Denmark. The writer sharp
ly criticised Harley and declared that the
juror was in d4sfavor In his native coun-
Try before coming TO America. He also
asserted that many farmers In Minne-
sofa 10 whom Harley had sold ighnlnl
rods and other farmers In North and
South Dakota, who had purchased seed
and implements from the obdurate juror
had reason to remember him regretful-
ly"
why did you tnke such a man on the
jury?" asked the writer.
States Attorney Deneen said, as he
shook his head and repeated the ques-
tion, He was the last man accepted.
We did not have time to look up his re-
cord, as we had done In the cases Of each
OF the eleven jurors. He answered all
questions fairly enough and his appear
ance was good. That is why he was ac-
cgpted,"

Agricultural Development in
Louisiana.

OueAssn Hsrmss.
There never has been q time in
the history of the State of Louisi-
ana when the general study of its
agriculture was of moro impor-
tance than now. It is true, the
State is now suffering from the
depression that weighs down all
the industries of the country, and
that . large section of the State is
suffering to the point of positive
distress from the effects of the
great drought of last summer.
Notwithstanding all this, however,
the State of Louisiana seem to be
| generally in q better financial oon-
dition than most of the other
States of the Union, and this is
largely because of her large sgri-
cultural resources, the absence of
imitation and the conservative
character of her business men.
II this position is to be main-
tsined, however, We must stand in
the front ranks in search of new
agricultural betterments. We
have the soil and the climate, but
they will avail us little if we don't
intelligently utilize them and reap
from them the largest rewards
they can give. The whole world
is moving forward. Science is un-
rsveling the mysteries of nature,
and what we did twenty years ago
may not be the best thing for us
to do now. We must utilize every
natural advantage We have, avoid
all WASTE and secure the best pos.
sible returns for ell the effort we
expend.
Wecan learn much more from our
agricultural Journals, from our ex-
pertinent stations and farmers in-
stitutes, but do we all do the best
we can with the light We now
have? Unfortunately for us we
do not Our live stock and farm
implements are not we'll housed,
our crops are not all of the best
varieties, our fences and gates are
not just what we would wish them,
our ploughing is not as far ad.
vanced as we should like It; in
fact aren't we q little behindhand
all along the linep
Slovsnly farming won't do in
these last days of the nineteenth
century, and we must be up spi
doing. and diong just what il rigk'
If We are to hold our place.
Then let the farmers of the
State and Of all the Southern
States think earnestly how they
can better prepare their lands
how to secure better seed, how te
cheaper cultivation while main
tsining or increasing its excell
ence; how to secure large crops
how to harvest them we'll and yet
chesply, how to avoid contracting
debts, how to pay old debts and II
short how to keep the wolf from
the door, the wolf that is nov
