CHANGED
Verdict of the
Jury
After It Had Reported
to Court.
Neglected to Release
City From Liability.
-V .r-r-t
Divorce Cases Heard Thursday
Court House News.

n very unusual preceding marked
the report of the jury in the case of
Clara Chatham VS.. The East Ohio Gas
Co. ct al.
The action was brought jointly
against the corporation and the city.
The plaintiff aseked judgment for
$4,000. When the verdict was read
by the clerk, Judge Hayden noticed
that the plaintiff was given $500 as
against the East Ohio Gas Co. The
city was not mentioned in any way.
He held that the verdict was informal
in that it failed to say that the issues
had been found in favor of the City.
He called the attention of the jurors
to that fact. They all announced that
1t had been their intention to release
the City from any liability and that
it was an oversight on their part that
the verdict did not show it. There
upon the court instructed the foreman
of the jury TO so change the verdict
that ii would show that the City was
not held responsible for any amount.
The East Ohio Gas Co. has given no.
ticc of motion for new trial. The
jury was excused until o'clock Tues
day morning.

Gentlemen, set yourself right before

81 think every citizen of Akron who
has paid the least attention to his
city's affairs for the last three years,
and who has read the Commissioners
law, is fully aware that if they are
to have Il check upon the expenditure
OF the city's money they must get
control of the Board of City Commits
Sioners.
AS | said before, the attempt to
shield the Board of commissioners
by shifting the blame for the city's
bankrupt treasury to others, who have
tried to check the extravagances but
have failed because of the peculiar
authority given to the Board of Com
missioners by the law, Is simply beg

Mr.. Lawrence Hutton is making a
collection of plaster casts of hands,
says Trenton special in the New
York Sun. He already has about fif-
teen specimens. He brought back with
him from Europe recently the original
cast of the hand of Thomas CARLYLE,
which he picked up in a London shop
for triaing sum. Among others in
the collection are likenesses of the
hands Of Rossetti, Robert Louis Ste
venson, Lincoln and Thackeray, and
the mummified hands of an Egyptian
princess of the time of Moses. These
Mr.. Hutton has hanging on the walls
of his library. He also has a cast Of
the hand of Helen Keller, the wonder
full blind mute, which he regards very
highly on account of its artistic finish.
All the lines in the skin, and even the
little nerve cushions on the tips of her
fingers, with which she feels so accu-
rately, are plainly discernible in the
plaster. Beneath each case Mr.. Hut
ton has written some appropriate lines.
Beneath that of Miss Keller's hand IL
the following:
"She is deaf to sounds all about us;
What she sees we cannot understand:
But her sights at the tip of her fingers
And she hears through the touch Of
