Jurors Not in Accord.

AT o'clock Tuesday morning a telephone
message was received from Judge Tuthill.
saying that, verdict or no verdict, he would
not come to the Criminal Court building to-
night. The jury at L o'clock was still in
the jury room and seemed no nearer a ver-
dict than at any time since it went out.
There is no chance of verdict being an
nounced before the opening of court this
(Tuesday) morning at o'clock.
At 1:S0 o'clock information direct from
the jury room was to the effect that dis
agreement had taken place, both sides be-
ing obstinate, and the chances for an agree
ment before morning being very slight.
The majority of the jury is with the
State and desirous of conviction. Just how
the jury stands could not be learned, but it
is now generally thought that the final out
come will be a disagreement. Police Cap
tain Schuettler, who worked much of the
evidence up in the case, practically adj
mitted that he had given up hopes of a
conviction, but added that the state would
get Luetgert on the next trial." States
Attorney Deenen admitted that the best in
formation he had was in accordance with
that given above, but was hopeful that
outstanding jurymen would come around
later on.

soon withdrew to Norfolk.
1t was drawn battle. but the Merrimac
was prevented from accomplishing her pur-
pose of destroying the national fleet and
eventually securing the independence OF the
COnfederates by capturing Washington,
New York and other cities, as had been ex-
pected. HonOrs were showered on Worden
for this service. Congress gave him vote
of thanks July II, 1862, and again on Feb.
3, 1863, and recommended his advancement
one grade. He was commissioned COM
mander July IL, 1862, and was afterward
promoted to captain. He recovered from
the injuries to his eyes and commanded the
monitor MOntauk in the south Atlantic
blockading squadron in 1863. In order to
test the ability of the monitors to with
stand heavy gun fire from forts Worden
was sent to engage Fort McAlliSter at Cen
esee Point, on the Ogeechee river, and re-
ported that he was convinced they could
do so. In this expedition he destroyed the
Confederate privateer Nashville, which had
taken shelter under the guns of Fort Nc
Allister. He participated in the blockade
at Charleston and in the attack on the forts
Of Charleston by Admiral Dupont's squad

The Late Ex-senator Paddock.

BEATRICE, Neb.. Oct. 1S.-Ex-Senator
Paddock's death Sunday morning was a
shock to the people of Beatrice, few of whom
knew of his serious condition; nor was it
thought by the physicians and his family
that death would come so soon. That his
health was failing was manifest when he
last returned from the East in May. He
gradually grew worse. but as he took daily
drives over the city until Saturday his con-
ditiQn was not generally. considered alarm
ing. Hs continued TIL the day of his death

for the future. His life insurance amount

FORT LOCKHEAD india, Oct 1s.-The
advance toward Tirah, the summer hea1-
quarters of the Afridis and the Orakzais,
will be begun on Wednesday. Elaborate or
ders have been issued as to the movements
of each division. The first serious fight is
expected Eext Sunday. when Sempagha

with the enemy to-day and dislodged sew

the Samanan range. Heavy firing in
progress all day. the guns from Fort Gulis-

burned several villages.
On Oct General Sir William Lockhardt,
commander in the Punjab and in supreme
control of the punitive expedition. issued
notification to the Tirah Afrids and Orak-
zais that in consequence of their having
broken the treaty engagements of 1881 the
government had determined to dispatch
force to march through their country. Ac-
cording to the notification the final terms
will be announced to the jirgahs of the
tribes on the arrival of the punitive force

advised to avoid unnecessary damage.

advance. The following in part are the
terms Of the general order issued by Sir
William Loclxhardt:
The government of India has lived at
peace with the Afridis tribe and made an
agreement with them under which the
British forts in the Khyber were intrusted
to their care. Allowances were paid to the
tribe and arms We're issued so that thew
might be strong in their alliance and friend
ship with the government of India and have
the means of forcing turbulent persons to
keep the peace. Without any proyocation
the Afridis, in conjunction with other tribes.
have broken their alliance with the British
government and have attacked and de-
stroyed the forts which their tribe had en-
gagged to guard. Further, they have waged
war against our garrison the Saman and
elsewhere killing soldiers in the British
service and causing great loss of property.
The British government, confident in Us
power, cannot sit down quietly under such
defiance and outrageS, and is forced by the
Wanton acts of the Afridis themselves to
inflict punishment on them in their oWn
country and to send a force into Tirah 10
exact reparation for what has lately taken
place. AS far as possible care will be taken
that the property of those who have not
taken part in the raids on British territory
is neither confiscated nor destroyed during
the time that our troops are engaged in the
OrakZai or Afridi territory"

BOGUS MINT In A PRISON.
Deceptive Counterfeit Half Dollars
Coined in "A Penitentiary.

PITTSBURG, Oct 1S.-Warden E. s.
Wright, of the Riverside penitentiary, has
discovered that a number of the convicts
confined in the institution have been manu-
featuring counterfeit 50-cent pieces. He
has unearthed the metal from which the
queer money was made the mods n
which it was cast and the names of several
convicts who were connected with the mat
ter, but as yet t'he has been unable to find
the man who originated and carried out the
scheme. The counterfeits are magnificent
specimens of the coiner's art. The die from
which they were made is almost perfect,
anu the milling on the CONS, which is the
government chief protection of metal
money from those who would initiate it. is
as near perfect as it is possible for human
ingenuity TO make It, and that such coins
could be made within the walls Of the River
side penitentiary, with the crude imple-
ments TO be obtained by the prisoners, is
the startling feature of the case. The coun-
terfeiters had already secured connection
with outside parties and some of the bad
money is now in circulation. Warden
Wright has a list of nearly score of con-
Victs and persons supposed to be connected
with the counterfeiting, and when the full
story of the crime comes out it is said there
will be some sensational developments.

HERO OF THE MONITOR
DEATH OF ADMIRAL WORDEN. WHO
REPULSED THE MERRIMAC.
And Twice Received the Thanks Of
Congress for His GaIIantry in Ac-
tiOn During the Civil War.

WASHINGTON, Oct S-AdmiraI John L,
Worden, retired, died here to-day of pneu-

was in very good health up to last Sat

He rendered valuable services throughout
the war, but the crowning achievement of
his career was in Hampton Roads, March
8, 1862, when he commanded the famous
Monitor in her duel with the Confederate
ram Merrimac He twice received a vote
of thanks from Congress, and was retired

He was born in Westchester county. New
York, March u, 1875 After entering the
navy as a Tnidshipman, in 1894 he attended
the naval school in Philadelphia in 1910 and
became a passed midshipman July 16 of that
year. He was promoted to lieutenant Nov.
go 1876, and served on various vessels, and
at the Naval Observatory, until the civil
war. In April 1851, he delivered the orders
from the secretary of the navy by which
Fort Pickens was saved for the Union, and
on his attempt to return to the North over
land he was arrested and confined as pris-
oner of war for seven months. When he
was exchanged he was ordered to superin-
tend the completion of John Ericsson's
Monitor and appointed to take command.
He left New York hastily in this vessel and,
after experiencing great danger, arrived at
Hampton Roads. On March S. 1862, the iron
clad ram Merrimac had come down from
Norfolk and had sunk the Congress and the
Cumberland. Worden anchored alongside
the Minnesota, then aground on the shoal,
and prepared to defend the fleet, when the
Merrimac reappeared. Early the next morn

the ship the Monitor steamed out The
Merrimac fired broadsides on the Monitor.
but the shots that struck her turret glanced
off. The Monitor fired deliberately about
every seven minutes, every shot taking eff
feet. Worden endeavored to get as close
as possible, while the Merrimac fired as
rapidly as the guns could be
served. The duel continued for
more than two hours, when the Merrimac
attempted to ram the Monitor but Worden
avoided the impact by maneuverine So

Newton l.. Bates, of the navy, the Presi-

of illness, which resulted in his death, to
take the oath of Office in bed His illness
at this time was not regarded as serious,
but developed alarming symptoms within
the last day or two and then grew steadily

ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Questions Brought to the Front by the
Four Parties.


NEW YORK, Oct. lS.-Ex-President Har-
rison touched on truth regarding the New
York municipal campaign in the course of
the interview with Murat Halstead, which
is published to-day. This is, that, to some
extent, the issue is whether there shall be
any issue beyond purely local ones. The
question thus presented divides Democrats
and Republicans alike, the latter perhaps
more sharply than the former. AS to both
national and state issues the strength of
the Low Independents, or Citizens Union
people, is principally among Republicans
who hold to the proposition that local issues
should be paramount in the city campaign,
while the Republican organization insists
that the fight be made on the St Louis
platform Of the party and particularly the
financial plank of that document. The dec
laration in the Low platform that proper
compensation be exacted for franchises
granted such as for street railways, is but
one of several attempts by men who are
for the most part, Republicans in presiden-
tiaI years, to have the campaign fought on
local lines. The free silverites among the
Democracy have from the outset been ag-
gressively favoring the exploiting of their
theories of finance in the city canvass but
these are in the minority and were COM
pletey Overruled in the Tammany or reglI-
lar Democratic convention and had small
consideration in the councils of the Thomas
Jefferson party, which has made Henry
George its standard bearer. The Democrats.
however while practically ignoring national
issues, are doing some effective work on the
subject of the excise law, even elevated
and street-railway cars being placarded
with queries as to the justice of a law
which levies tax on the larger cities. a
portion of the proceeds being bestowed on
the country districts This question of the
excise will enter also, and naturally, into
the election of members of the State Assem-
bly,, of whom siXty-one in a total member
ship of $50 are to be chosen in the Greater
New York territory The effect of this
state issue in the main is likely to be felt
in the vote for officers of the city.

British Cabinet Probably Dealt a
RIoW to RimefnIIiSm

LONDON, Oct. 18.--The United States
monetary commissioners have received no
official information regarding the action
taken by the British Cabinet on Saturday
last. Private advices, however, convince
them that the Cabinet has dealt the death
blow to their mission. 1t is expected the
commissioners will soon be informed that
her Majesty's government regrets being un-
able to accede to their proposals, but is will
ing to listen to any other plan they may
suggest But both parties to the conference
know that no other practical scheme can be
advanced. In the event of the expected
reply being received, the United States
commissioners will return to the United
States. 1t is learned that the only thing the
Cabinet officially discussed in connection
with the currency question on Saturday was
Sir James Westlands report. Sir James Is
head of the financial department OF India,
and his voluminous report took the strong-
est grounds against reopening the mints.
The commissioners believe their failure
means that no further effort in behalf OF
bmetallism will be made for many years to
come. They attribute their failure to the
opposition of the bankers and of the Lon
don Times. Until these forces were aroused
all signs pointed to the cooperation of the
British government.

DEENEN's ARGUMENT.
States Attorney Asks for the Death
of AdOIDh Iuefgerf.

Judge Tuthills court room was besieged
by thousands of people this morning, all Of
whom were filed with burning desire to
hear the closing argument of the state in
the Luetgert case Only small fraction of
the crowd was admitted, and the remainder
hung around the court room most of the
day.
States Attorney Deenen opened with a
defense of several Of the leading witnesses
for the prosecution. after four or five
days of oratory on the part of Judge Vim
cent and Attorney Phalen, what have we
to answer" asked the states attorney in
quick, emphatic style. Simply ridicule. 1
shall not waste time answering the asser-
tons Of orators who assail the regulations
of men of learning who are recognized au-
thorities on the subjects upon which they
were called to testify. Prof. George B.
Dorsey, Harvard professor, who has
charge of a department of the Field Colum-
bian Museum, is referred to contemptuous-
~ as blrd-Stuffer. and that is all they say
In reply to the evidence of one of the most
expert PSYCHOLOGISTS in the country. Profess
sor Bailey, a graduate of Cambridge and a
man of brilliant attainments, is dubbed a
mechanic; Mrs Christine Field, a woman
who told how Luetgert had borrowed
money from her and who identified the
rings. is designated as the woman with the
alabaster neck; Professor Howse is sneer-
ingly referred to as janitor. This is the
mode Of argument adopted by the defense
Ridcule is usually the weapon of those who
have not fact to support their contention
Professor Dorsey did not come into this
case voluntarily. He was summoned by the
people of the State of Illinois, And he was
one of the best witnesses among the ex-
pertS. Professor Delafontaine is called an
owl by the defense This mode of attack
upon the witnesses for the prosecution par
took of billingsgate, in which l shall not
indulge.
The states attorney then proceeded with
his argument promising that ii would be
brief. The states attorney said There
are three matters of vital importance which
are deserving Of discussion in this great
