Governor Stone.
PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-After being

declared the defendant not guilty of
conspiring to use for his own unlawful
gain and profit the funds of the
state of Pennsylvania. This verdict
was announced by the foreman of
the jury just as the hands Of the court

There was an attempt at a demon
stration, but this was sternly repressed
by the court officers, whose loud shouts
of "order," "order," silence We're eff

unable, however, to keep back those

hats were smashed by the crowd. Sen

face, responded pleasantly to the greet

crowded around. a few of his political
friends were there, and these men were
loud and sincere in their expression.

Senator Quay did not look at the jury
at all or in any way express gra itude
to them for their verdict in his favor.
His friends, however, surrounded the
jurors, patted them on the back, and
told them what heroes they were. Sen'
ator Quay's only comment on the YER

final decision was reached. The first

taken he voted for acquittal. The jurors
who stood out for conviction are said tc
have been Charles Pensler, shoemaker

painter, Nineteenth ward.
Pensler voted for acquittal after the
first ballot, but Bevan held out until

taken.

Queen Lavinia Dempsey has again

President of the Woman's Industrial
League. This Office, however, she no
longer holds.
The story Of her resignation is rather
q picturesque one. 1t seems that Miss
Dempsey, in her capacity as vice presi-
dent of the league, endorsed a GER
tain toilet preparation, and the presi-
dent, Mrs. Charlotte Smith, heard of it
and was displeased. Shortly afterward
the two met in an elevated railway car
and Mrs. Smith began to argue. There
are many people in this city and else
where who have reason to know her abilf-
ties in that direction. Mrs Smith never
had liked Miss Dempsey anyway, and this
was her time to say SO. She told the vice
president that such an action as endors-
ing toilet preparation was beneath the
dignity of the league, and the endorser
would have to resign her position and be-
come horrible example. The argument
waxed nearly as warm as the weather,
and that is saying something. Mrs Smith
arose from her seat, and, clinging to q
