Considering all lines, both east and west

A JURORS STATEMENT
OF How the Jury stood in the Hissom
Damage Suit.

Dam8Ge suit.
Saturday there appeared in the COL
umns of an evening paper an article
purporting to be correct statement of
the facts regarding the standing of the
jury in the 100000 damage suit of DR..
s. X. Hissom VS.. j. R. Hissom, his
father. Since that time a number of
persons who are in a position to know
have branded the article referred to
as maliciously false. The article
quoted juryman as saying that two
of the jury were for $52,500 damages
for DR.. Hissom from the start, four
were for $4,000 and upwards, two
were for any reasonable amount, and
four stood out.
One of the jurymen, R. P. Donnelly,
of No. 10 South York street, was seen
last evening in regard to the matter
and asked for statement of the facts
regarding the action of the jury. Mr..
Donnelly, when told of the statement
that two jurors had held out from the
start for $500, seemed very much
amused. He said that the largest
amount that was considered was $4,000.
Six of the Jurors at the end of the first
day stood for a reasonable verdict,
which was set at $50, but the other six
held out for the defendant. The sec
ond day two of the defendants jurors
went over for $50 verdict in an en-
deavor to break the deadlock. Finding
the other four remained firm for the
defendant, they went back again, and
at the end of the day the jury was still
deadlocked, six for verdict of $50 for
the plaintiff and six for the defendant
Mr. DonnelIy also stated that the Jury
was very fair and that there was no
prejudice expressed.
The Register published this account
of the proceedings of the jury Saturday
morning, and to-day they are given as
the statement of juror who is willing
to have it published as coming from
him.

u Do mind. Mid ths Rev MI. 1Iarfin,
n opening shis sddrese. SIS hooking
backward. and probably the most
pleasant memory is that Of your boy
hood days Re was. also OF the opin-
ion that there Is something better
than good looks in life. There are
people who are kind to everybody but
God. They are good neighbors. but
not good to God.
| Continuing, the reverend gentleman
suggested that men may be kind to
each other and not kind to God, and
took OCCASION to remark that there is
much temptation in the cities, and
that we need such services as we have
here. What makes lovely picture
in the eyes of God is good charac-
ter. What pleases Him is the love
of young men for all that is good. The
reason that the youthful picture is so
pleasing to God is that the young peo-
pie are always able to accomplish SO
much. Young lives can do the best
work for Jesus.
He next took up the importance of
serving God, and advised the young
men to give no heed to those who in
struct us that it is right to sow wild
oats, for it is only folly. He ten
pointed out that man reaps just
what he sows, reaps more than he
sows, and can sow in little time
what it will take a long time to reap.
In concluding, he said that God does
not want to lose the young men. They
were never needed SO much in the
community in which they live as now.
If the picture we form in youth be-
comes defaced in late years, it can
never be replaced. May you all live
so that God may say to you, / remem-
Der thee. The kindness of thy youth
and the love of thy espousal.'
During the afternoon an appropriate
musical programme was rendered, and
prayers were made by number of
young men. 1t was one Of the most
successful meetings of the kind ever
held at the institution.

The conservative Republican ele-
ment, that is to say, the men of that
patry who are opposed to Ring Rule"
are scared, and badly scared, too. The
Hon. Romeo H. Freer, their idol, has
not fulfilled their expectations. He
has fallen from grace in their sight,
and they no longer rely on him to car
ry the State. The reasons for their
state of mind are obvious, but how
well conceived they are, remains to
be. seen. But they certainly are
scared, not only of losing their con-
vention, but of losing the State. AL
ready they are looking the Stale over
for suitable timber to champion their
cause, and all indications point to
what seems to be very plain fact
Mr. Freer is going to get Ithrow-
down. and by his friends.
Their fears were aroused by 1.-THE re-
port that Mr.. Freer had accepted Boss
Halls proposition with regard to the
|:disposition of the Ohio County delega-
Stion. One Republican, OFF high
|Sstanding in his faction, stated: posi-
stively that Mr.. Freer had arcelsted the
:proposition to divide the Ohiol County
sdelegation equally between himself
sand A. B. White. and that they vote
solid for Hall for auditor. This will
relieve from Freer the support Of
Arnold Scherr and La Toilette, and
will beat him in the convention.
If White is nominated, the eonserv-
alive Republicans claim he viii be de-
feated, and the State lost. Meetings
have been held on the quiet, and they
are now looking arounud for some enc
20 champion their cause. Several have
been appealed to, prominent among
them being G. w. Curtin, Of Braxton:
J. L. Caldwell, of Huntington, and
Hon. n. E. Whitaker, of this city.

The c1ergymen who are members of
the Federation of Churches have been
very reticente concerning their future
intentions since the failure of their
efforts to abolish the. slot machines.
1t has been the popular opinion, how
ever, that they contemplated political
action of some nature, and this i'm
preston is in measure confirmed 5y
the statement made to q Register se-
porter yesterday. by a minister who
has taken a prominent. part in the
anti-slot machine crusade.
The minister referred to states ttat
| it is the purpose Of the Federation to
organize an advisory committee of one
hundred prominent citizens OF Wheel
ing, fifty to be Democrats and fifty Re-
publicans, in order to make the move
ment non-partisan. This committee
will meet at the proper time, and take
up the question of reform in municipal
affairs, outlining plan OF procedure,
making appeals for attendance at sug-
gestion meetings and primary cleo
lions, all with asview to placing clean
men upon the party tickets. Ihe
Register informant did not approve the
idea of Citizens ticket for the pres
ent at least believing tina. with i
proper effort the friends os good gov
eminent might see that only clean
candidates are on the tickets of both
parties. He admitted, however, that
a Citizens ticket is a possibility.
