OBSTINATE JURORS.
A Case in Which One Determined Man
Made Eleven Think as
He Did. -

There was a "hold-up" in the jury
room of the court of common pleas in
this city a few days ago, says the
Hartford (Conn.) Courant. a jury,
which had been out AZ minutes, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff to
recover damages of $25 and costs.
After the verdict had been accepted,
one of the jurymen said that when
the first ballot was taken eight of the
jurors voted in favor of the defendant
and four for the plaintiff. A later bal
lot resulted in II votes being cast for
the defendant and one for the plain
tiff. The jurors were in a hurry to
get home and the II who voted for the
defendant endeavored to persuade the
other juror to turn with them. This
he refused TO do and he stated en-
phatically that he would hold out if it
caused disagreement or kept the
jury out all night.
The one man was evidently stronger
than the II who were against him. He
held to his position, and finally sue
eeeded in bringing the II over, with
the final result that verdict was
agreed upon for the plaintiff to recov-
er S25 and costs. The II jurors who
turned would not divulge the name of
the juror who stood out for the plain
tiff from the beginning.

STOCK GAMBLING.
Evils Arising from the Universal
YeRrning to Get Something
for Nothing.

Secrecy made it possible to organize
both the opportunity and the tempta-
ton to play the Industrial game with
loaded dice, says the Engineering Mag
azine. The itching to get something
for nothing upon the market is at any
time the master vice in trade. One
risk Of the business boom is always
that it lets loose those reckless forces
that hasten every disaster of the next
business collapse. The new "com-
bines," IL they manipulate clandes-
timely, easily fire every passion to
play with stock variations 49, to lay
traps for the unwary, to declare div
dends that never have been earned
and to unload lying values upon the
public. 1t is evident that every form
Of secret control-eyery hidden device
as to methods of management-im-
mensely overstimulates this dicer's
spirit, and, therefore, adds to the
most dangerous uncertainties Of bust
ness. That this evil can be greatly
lessened has been proved not only by
English eXperience--it has been clear
ly proved by Massachusetts eNperl-
ence. The degree of publicity 70
which these corporations must now
submit in Massachusetts is far great
er than is commonly supposed. and
has been attended by results so hope
full as to mark a sure way for further
legislation. This experience, together
with the experience of the interstate
commissioner spite of all its failures
may well furnish safe basis for
such federal action as shall give unity
of procedure in different states.

WORK DONE BY ENGINEERS,
In Any Undertaking 1t IL with Them
Simply IA Question of Max
ing Money.

When you come to reckon up the
work that is done by engineers-that
which really keeps our large works
going and finds employment for oul
workmen-it is what may be generally
classed as new commercial work,
says the Engineering Magazine Into
this class fall all extensions of our rail-
ways, all expansion in our fleets of
steamers, all increases to our factories,
workshops, mines, tramways and the
like; and the point to be observed in ali
these is that all are simply purchased
for the purpose of making money.
In other words, they are investments.
There is no more definite rule for the
number of ships that sail on the AT
lantic than there is for the number ct
cabs that can find work in the streets
of London. Nobody can doubt that If
cabs could be built u great deal CHEAP
err more cabs would be put on the road
and more work would be found for
coachbuilders and their workmen. So
it is with ships. A ship is nothing more
than the packing case of the goods that
come over in il. What the public wants
is the cargo. What the ship-ovncr
wants is the profit on the CARRYING
trade. Either of them wants the ship
only as means to these ends, and if
ships can be built cheaper the more
are they able and willing to afford,

The evening times., 1900-10-12

Many complaints still reach the Commits
sfoners and the Superintendent OF Street
Cleaning with reference TO the removal Of
ashes and refuse under the new arrange
ments inaugurated August /, 1900 The
chief cause of complaint is the refusal un-
der various circumstances OF the drivers
10 take The ashes, paper, or other refuse.
One complains that il is necessary TO set
the ash can out in front, bringing up
through the house, through basement
door or through the areaWay. In any case
the complainant says, the ashes are uf-
slightly in front of the house, where they
sometimes have to stay half a day waiting
the pleasure of the collector II is main
tanned by this class OF complainants that
it is wrong in principle TO require that
ashes or other refuse should be placed on
the sidewalk OF adjacent thereto. as it is
in that position an offence to people pass
ing and serves to litter the whole front
These persons argue, with some force, that
the place for the ash can is in the rear,
in the alley, with the garbage and other
waste.
a few people have complained of the
manner in which the system OF gathering
ashes is conducted. One requirement put
upon the householder is the purchase of
an iron can of a certain size and shape.
Unless the ashes are placed in this kind of
a can, people say. the drivers will not touch
them The can in question costs 81. 55
When the ashes are taken up twice week.
at least two o: these cans are required 10
hold the ashes. When they are taken up
only once a week, the average house would
require at least three Of the regulation
cans.
A woman in writing about this phase
of the case TO the Commissioners inGulg-
ed in little mathematics. She figured it
out that she would require three cans.
That would mean an original expenditure
on her part of 81. At the old rate of re-
moving ashes, at 10 cents a barrel. she
said that this money would pay for the
removal of forty barrels of ashes. By
removing them from the cellar by the
load she asserted that she had been able
to do even better than that. She express
ed the opinion that the ash cans being
kept out of doors would rust out in
single year and have to be replaced.
Therefore, after taking everything into
account, this woman came to the conclu-
sion that she could not afford to patron
The evening times., 1900-10-12
ize the new system of collecting and re-


mGTing ashes.
Some complaint has been raised regard
ing the collection of paper and combusti-
Bile waste This placed in barrels. 1t IS
said is not generally taken away by the
drivers of the municipal wagons The
drivers, according TO those writing with
reference to the matter say that they are
unable TO lift the barrels to empty them
into their wagons and 1t is said that an
iron can must be provided by the house
holder for this purpose also II he wishes
his waste paper. etc, TO ae removed with
out expense to himself.
AS one writer put the matter, the
householder is obliged 10 have, first,
large garbage can, then he must have an
outft of ash cans including one or more
for coInbustible refuse. until the Gack
yard puts on the appearance OF a dairy or
an ice cream factory.
1t appears from these complaints that
the authorities in working out a system
of collection and removal of waste have
made it quite expensive for the house
holder to start with. The outfit at the
very best is a formidable one. and most
housekeepasE. so they say, are not able
to supply themselves with these accou-
trements without an expenditure CT at
least Sc. which would go far toward re
moving the ashes and the comoustloIe
waste in the old way
, There is something to be said on the
side Of the municipality and the contract
or. The appropriation was smaller than
the amount asked for, and really smaller
than is needed to develop practical
system of waste removal. The Super.n-
tendent of Street Cleaning is of the optn-
ion that Il he had been provided With the
funds necessary TO do the work right.
many of tie causes Of complaint would
not exist The system, he thinks. is nee
essarily defective, because with the mon
ey in hani It could not be organized oa
a large enough plan.
