GOSSIP ABOUT THE VOTING
one Juror said to Have Lost Nerve
and Changed HIS Vote at tho
Eleventh HOUR.

r
After having been locked up for AZ
hours the jury in the Noonan-Simpson
trial came into the court room this
morning. and the foreman. Stephen l..
Harvey, said to Justice Lippincott:-
I'VE cannot agree, your honor"
The court room was packed at an early
hour. for everybody seemed to know that
the jury would be sent for and some
thing would be known as to the fate of
the two defendants. AS soon as Justice
Lippincott took his seat on the bench, a
few minutes after ten o'clock, he said:-
Il understand that the jury are ready
to come They may be sent for
escorted by an officer. Foreman s. l..
Harvey was rubbing his eyes and Mr..
Hardenbergh looked as if he had just
awoke from long sleep. The remainder
had wearied look on their faces, the
result of their long confinement. When
the clerk had polled them, the usual ques-
ton was put
Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed
on a verdict?"
I'VE fail to agree" replied Foreman
Harvey, in scarcely audible tone.
What is your idea?" said Justice Lip
pincott "Are the differences among you
wholly irreconcilabie? Is it your idea
that with further deliberation you might
arrive at some result? The Court doesn't
want to know how you stand, but sim
ply desires to know if with further delib-
Grafton you might reach a verdict
"It might" replied Mr.. Harvey, glanc-
ing at his colleagues.
You have been out now forty-two
hours and the Court thinks the jury has
had ample opportunity to agree. If, how
ever, you cannot agree and retiring again
would simply produce the same result,
well, then. / suppose
'If you honor pleases, . said Mr.. Harvey.
'T would ask that the-jury be permitted
to retire for ten minutes"
1.-THE Court cannot ask you any ques-
tions as. to your differences, but it seems
you ought to be able to answer now
whether or not further deiiberation would
produce a result
81 was not aware that such a question
would be asked, and consequently I am
not prepared to answer for my colleagues
and it was for that reason that asked
for few minutes to consult with them, y
replied Mr.. Harvey.
Then you may retire for ten min
utes," said Justice Lippincott, and the
jury returned to the rear court room.
Not many minutes afterwards they were
sent for and when the usual question was
asked by Clerk Gentlemen of the
jury, have you agreed on verdict?'
Foreman Harvey replied
eve can't agree, your honor
"Do you think said Justice Lippincott
slowly, you could arrive at any result
if you were to continue your delibera-
tionse"

RAGPIOKGRs A NUISANCE.

Many complaints have been made to the
police of the Ocean Avenue station of rag
pickers who pick stuff out of the ash bar
rels along the street, and in doing SO scatter
the refuse all over the sidewalks, thereby
creating a nuisance.
The people in Greenville are determined
that nuisance must stop and have appealed
to Captain Nugent, who a day or two ago,
gave out strict orders to his men to see that
the ragpickers do not disturb the ash bar
rels, and if any officer saw them scattering
the refuse on the sidewalk to arrest them.

Santiago de Cuba. Dee 9.-The ex-
tremists of the Cuban Republican party
seem anxious to assume the RESPONSE
bility for the outrage at the Spanish
club Wednesday evening, when Juan
Castillo,a former Cuban officer, accom-
panied by two negro subordinates, rode
into the club rooms and with their
machetes smashed lamps and did other
damage. FL Porvenir the organ of this

represents the feelings of long out

Vice President Barbarossa, of the San
Carlos Club. has asserted that If Cas-
tillo had not been promptly released from
custody. ten thousand Cubans would
have known the reason why. But. such
expressions must not be taken as repre-
