JURY UNABLE TO AGREE.
They stood Tie In the Famous God
dard Case at Kansas City.

Kansas City Oct. 31.-For the second
Sunday in succession the criminal court
of Kansas City was made the scene of the
ending of a sensational murder trial. To-
day the jury in the case of DR.. Jefferson
Goddard, for the killing of DR.. Jackson,
with whose wife II Is said Goddard was
crlminaly intimate. reported for the nth
time that they were unable to agree upon
a verdict and were discharged. A week
ago, in the same room, at about the same
time, a jury had acquitted John Schlegel
for killing DR.. l.. A. Berger who, 1t was
alleged, had sustained criminal relations
with the prisoners wife The cases have
been the two most sensational murder
trials that Kansas City courts have had
to deal with for years. The Goddard case
was given to the jury late Friday night,
last, after an exciting trial. Five times
since then they sent for Judge Longen TO
report that they were unable to agree upon
a verdict. But each time, after adminis-
terlng a severe lecture. the Judge sent
them back to deliberate. To-day, after
having taken nearly forty ballots. they
again emphasized their inability to agree
and Judge Longen discharged them. The
first ballot stood eight for conviction and
four for acquittal. The last ballot result
cd i'm a tie vote, six to six. II is believed
that a new trial win follow at an early
date

NJ Private Citizen Ever Before
uonored as He--Funeral Service
of the Episcopal Church.
New York, Oct. S1.-A mourning city,
prisf-stricken people, to-day showed hon
or +o the man who had fallen in the battle
for what he believed to be the right.
Henry George, apostle of the single-tax,
leader of the new Jeffersonian democracy,
stricken on the eve of election, was hon.
ore5 as no private citizen of America was
ever honored before.
Pubic griefs have been many in the
Great metropolis of the west; many have
been sincerely mourned, but none, save
he who went to eternal rest after having
served his people as a leader of soldiers
and as chief executive of the land, had
laid at his bier such evidences of public
grief widespread sorrow and sincere grief,
as was laid at the bier of Henry George.
No one would permit a reminder that he
had been a candidate for public Office,
and had been carrying on bitter warfare
on those who he believed were enemies
of the public veal; no one recalled the
strong words of denunciation that fell
from his lips, while on the political ros-
trum: he was remembered only as man
who so loved the people that he gave his
life for them. From the day until far into
the night the outward manifestation of
grief lasted.
Thousands gazed upon the familiar, be-
loved features, cold in death, yet smiling
serenly, as in sleep; thousands heard
stirring orations, magnificent eulogies
upon the martyred dead. In every temple
of God, wherever men gathered to wor-
ship or gathered to hear lectures and phi
losophy taught, garlands of eulogistic
praise were bestowed upon the memory
of the revered dead.
In the vast auditorium where the dead
rested, inspired men, teachers of all faiths
Jews, Christian, Catholic and Episcopal
ian, with hearts wrung with pain, spoke
words which confessedly fell far short of
the great waves OF emotion that sought
to find utterance.
Not a dissenting voice was heard to the
declaration that Henry George was a
lover of the people, who. he believed, were
being oppressed and that he gave his life
that humanity might live.
The eulogies uttered, the day gone, the
streets became filled with people, who
wished to see the funeral cortege as it
passed in solemn procession down New
York's greatest streets, thence across
Brooklyn bridge, thence through
Brooklyn's great streets to
the Brooklyn City hall There
the public gave over the body to the fam
lily, and the casket was taken to the mod
est home in Fort Hamilton, from which
they will be borne to their final resting
place in Greenwood tomorrow morning.
At the lowest estimate. one hundred and
twenty-five thousand people saw the cask-
ct as it wended it's way to that point,
where the public was compelled to stand
aside in reverence and sympathy, while
the family claimed its own.

the Outcome Dubious.

the Outcome Dub1OuS.
Baltimore, Oct. 31.AThe voters of Mary
land will, on Tuesday next, elect a state
controller, clerk of the court of appeals.
and a new legislature which, in turn will
chose a successor to United States Sena-
tor Arthur Pue German.
In the city of Baltimore a mayor and
a new council will be chosen. The cam
paign, which has been an unusually Bit
ter one, closed last night with mass meet
ings all along the line, and nothing now
remains but to cast and count the vote.
The state offices to be filled are unimpor
tant, and but little attention is being paid
to them, the main interest centering al
most entirely in the legislative contest. If
the democrats win, Senator German will
doubtless be chosen for another term; in
fact, no ore else has ecently been nreI~
toned for the place, While
if the republicans are victorious there will
probably be a sharp fight for the seat
among dozen aspirants, with the chanc-
es slightly in favor of the election of Con-
gresham Sydney E. Mudd of Charles
county. AS to the outcome of the coming
election, it can only be said that the re-
suit is in great doubt, though both sides
claim to be able to count enough votes in
the legislature TO secure a majority on
joint ballot, and to elect the United States
senator, The republicans have a slight
advantage III tIal GI LuG thirteen nOlQ-

WILL CUT OHIo's VOTE.
Democrats Claim They VIII Profit
on Every Change.

DemOcrats Claim Ihey VIII FRONT
on Every Change.
Cincinnati, Oct. S1.-There were many
bets taken here last night and to-day on
the result of the election. The betting
was limited to Ohio. Odds were given on
the republican state tickets, but the offers
of even money on the legislature were
not wanted. Odds were asked on the fu-
sion ticket In Hamilton county, but the
betting was mostly even. The betting
fraternity are carefully reviewing the fig
ures of former years, as well as present
conditions.
The democrats elected James q. Camp
bell governor, with a full state ticket. in
1889 and secured a legislature that elect
ed Calvin S. Brice senator. Then follow
ed the, large republican plurallties by
which Mckinley was elected governor in
1891 and 1888 In 1894 the republican plu-
rality was 1906, the largest ever known
in the state. Two years ago Gov Bush
nell had republican plural
ity of 92622, and the legisla-
ture that elected Senator Foraker had
majority on joint ballot of 80. Last year
Ohio gave Mckinley a plurality of 81 .l09
for President, and IL Is with this vote Of
last November for President that the
vote of next Tuesday will be compared
Last year the republican pluralities were
largely In the cities. Hamilton county
gave a republican plurality Of nearly 10000.
and Cuyahoga county of over 1900. Fac
tional troubles at Cincinnati and Cleve-
land are expected to reduce these plural
ities. As the polls close at o'clock in
Cincinnati and Cleveland, the first returns
will come from those cities and show DEM
ocratic gains. The returns from some 9TH
er cities are expected to show smaller dem
ocratic gains. The republicans are count
ing on gains in the rural districts where
prosperity has been resumed nDre than in
the towns. The democrats claim they will
hold the rural vote and win out on the
changes in the cities.

REPUBLICANS HANK ON TRACY.
The Committee Figures Him n Win
ner by Good Plurality.

New York, Oct. 31.-The republican COM
mittee confidently expect the election of
Gen. Tracy and each Of the borough tick
cts. 1t believes, according TO a statement
issued to-day, that the vote for Henry
George in the boroughs Of Manhattan and
the Bronx will considerably exceed the
vote Of the citizens union. 1t is abso-
luteIy confident that Seth Low will not
carry single assembly district in the
present city of New York, and the only
place there is any real contest between
Tracy and Low, is in the Twenty ninth
district which Tracy will, they say carry
over Low by fully 1000 votes.
The majority by which Gov. Black de-
feated Porter last year was just about the
majorities by which Tracy will defeat
Van Wyck. In the borough Of Brooklyn,
Tracy will beat Low 2 to 1. The state
ment concludes: We expect TO poll 1l5O00
votes for Tracy in New York and the
Bronx; 10000 In Brooklyn, 1900 in Queens,
