GLENVILLE, w. Va, Oct. 13-The
jury in the famous case Of Mrs. Gov.
Atkinson. on trial for forging her
former husbands name, disagreed to-
day and was discharged by the court
The Jury stood seven for acquittal and
five for conviction. 1t is not believed
that the case will be tried again The
arguments and judges charge were
completed at II o'clock last night
There had been a continuous session
of court since o'clock, except an
hours intermission for meals. Mrs.
Atkinson was on the stand ten hours.
Her testimony was a general denial of
all the allegations charged in the in
dictment. She did not waver from the
statement, on ss-eXamlnatlon, that
all the receipts in controversy, given to
Owens were written at the dictation Of
Judge Camden in his life time and that
they represented what they show upon
their face. She insisted that all of the
papers and transactions relied upon by
the state to show criminal intention
were genuine and written at the dicta-
ton of Judge Camden. She denied that
she had any interest whatever in the
Owens land or that Owens had at any
time paid her money or any other thing
of value Mrs. Atkinson'S demeanor
upon the witness stand was modest and
unassuming She made a favorable i'm
preston.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Atkinson's s
testimony at o'clock last evening the
arguments commenced, the court al
lowing each side three hours. John S.
Withers opened for the state and was
followed by w. w. Brannon for the de-
fendant. At the night session R. F.
Kidd. Judge Brannon and John Davis
spoke for the defense, and were fol-
lowed by r. G. Linn, who closed the
argument for the state. The courts in
structions to the jury were impartial.
and the case was given to the twelve
men.
At lis a. m. the jury asked for in
structions on certain circumstantlal
evidence and returned to consultation.
At 2:30 a. M they had not agreed, and
the court adjourned until Z a. m. At
$50 the jury reported that 1t had fail
ed to agree and was dismissed. There
were seven for acquittal and five for
conviction. The court Immediately ad-
iourned. There is a hint that the prose-
cutting attorney will ask for nolle
prosequi at the next term of court.

LONDON, Oct 14.-The Daily News
says this morning. There is a good
prospect of the speedy conclusion of a
general arbitration treaty between
Great Britain and the United States.
We have reason to believe that Presi-
dent Mckinley will propose clause in
the treaty providing that before any
subject is finally referred to the court
of arbitration such reference shall be
approved by the queen on one hand
and by the American senate on the
other. 1t is expected that such a pro-
viso will induce the senate to ratify the
treaty; and it Is improbable that any
objection will be raised on this side"

the case wherein the state is making
an effort to collect a half million dol
lars from the bondsmen of the default
ing state treasurer, Joseph Barley
has consumed three weeks and it prom
ises to continue another month. A
singular feature of the case has de-

fenses the bondsmen will make The
testimony by which Mrs. John Fitz-
gerald, who qualified for $100 900, hopes
to escape liability, declares that the
bond was presented to her day after
her husband died and that she was in
sane at the time. She has no recol-
lection of having signed the instru-
ment. The other bondsmen assert that
if Mrs. Fitzgerald's signature is not
legal then the whole bond is Illegal

missioner Campbell some time ago wrote an

tiated an issue of $S00O0,O0O of 80 per cent
first mortgage bonds to take w issues of
the former Chesapeake and Ohio South
western and the St. Louis and Terre Haute
railroads. now Incorporated in the Illinois
Ceutrai system, the superseded bonds hav-
ing borne interest ranging principally from
. to per cent. This. added to the many
times larger conversions recently arrang-
ed for by other railroads, shows the will
ingness of capital to invest in large
amounts at SGSia per cent. At the same
time, it leaves no doubt of the possibility
of other roads in good credit largely re-
ducing their mortgage charges, with con-
sequent advantage to the stock-holding in
terest The effect is to place dividend-pay-
ing shares in a much better position as to
value, especially in the case of companies
which have effected these reductions of
interest; for decline in the rate of inter
est means a relative rise in the market
value principal One of the first effects
of these conversions has been to turn the
attention of investors to municipal securi-
ties, which appear to be esteemed as next
in security and desirableness to the rail-
road mortgage A large amount of that
class of issues is forthcoming, but there is
a limit to the supply; and when that is
reached, railroad shares will have their
turn.
The new phase of affairs in Eastern
Europe is encouraging to the hope of an
early removal of that source of disturb
ance from foreign politics. 1t is not inn
possible that the settlement between Tur-
key and Greece may temporarily hang
fire. For while Greece is ready enough to
accept almost any terms that will save
her army from humiliation, Turkey may
be expected to seize all the advantages
she can procure from her victory: and
hence may arise some anxious haggling
between her and the powers. With i'm
patience of restraint among the Turkish
army, on the one side, aud a danger of
revolution among the Greeks on the 9TH
er side, this sort of suspense cannot be
long endured; and the result is likely to
constrained to grant concessions to Tur-
key from which the worlds public opin-
ion will loudly dissent. If Turkey is will
ing to suspend actual operations SO as to
allow an opportunity for pacific negota
tons, the occurrence of the Feast of Bal
ram, which lasts from the 18th to the
10th of May, will come in very oppor-
timely In any event, the settlement is
only a question of terms; and with one
side submissive and the other under a
strong repression from the powers. it
seems in the last degree improbable that
there should be a failure to reach an
early peace. The only disturbing factor
in sight is the revival of the Cuban ques-
ton now under discussion in the United
States Senate. This is calculated to cause
some selling of long stocks and a lower
range of prices in consequence.

weekly Market Review.

Cotton.-About all the interest of the
week was confined to Monday, when there
was a decline of 10112 points. After
ward fluctuations We're various, but very
small, and the close shows net loss for
the week of about 10 points for August
and later months-August, 1885, Novem-
Der, 6.S0c. The only other feature was the
relative firmness of July and earlier
months due to talk of manipulation,
more especially at New Orleans. July
declined only points and closed points
higher than August Liverpool has ruled
quiet and buyers there show less anxiety
to enter the spot market. On the other
hand, the demand in the south exceeds the
supply, and it is said that the mills are
unable to get sufficient cotton to meet
their requirements. A natural corner in
this country before new cotton can come
in is well among the probabilities. Ac-
counts from the growing crop are improv-
ing in most sections, but excepting in the
lower part of Texas, do not suggest the
hope of any considerable quantity of new
cotton in August. Under the circum-
stances there should not occur any great
decline in the summer deliveries, and we
may see a further material widening OF
the premiums now existing for old crop
as against new crop months.

LONDoN's STOCK MARKET.
An Improvement All Along the Line
During the Week.

London, May 16.--The tone of the stock
exchange has greatly improved and the
revival of business is extending into all
the markets. The rise is largely due to
the more pacific aspect of affairs in South
Africa, while the apparent end of the cas-
tern war has brought a host of buyers
who are anxious to get in at the present
low prices.
There is an active demand In gold for
the continent, but large shipments are on
the way from Austria and Africa and
money rates continue low.
All foreign stocks show better figures.
Greeks are rising on the general belief
that Greek finances will be placed under
European control. Argentines, Brazilians
and Peruvians all show a considerable
rise. and Americans Joined In the activity
in the early part of last week. though
they fell off again somewhat on news of
the revival of the tension with Spain over
Cuba. There has been large purchases in
Norfolk and Western. which continues TO
advance. The remainder OF the American
list has shown little change, but where
there has been any, It has been for the
better.
