SENSATIONAL ENDING.

Judge Wheeler Would Not Accept Yer
 dict of $20O for a Human Life.
 The suit of Wilson T. Black against the Griggs heirs, Robert. David. Will fred and Charles. for S5.O0O for the death of Emily Caldwell, which was claimed was the result of their negli- gence, closed with sensational incl dent. In this city it has never hap- pened before that judge of the high CT courts felt called upon to remind Jury of the appreciation and value of life, but Judge George ". Wheeler felt 1t his duty to do so yesterday in this case. The jury took the papers in the case and retired at 2:15 o'clock. and until about 3:45 they could have been heard arguing and debating in their seclusion. Attorney Kellogg was making his final argument in the Thornton-Consolidat railroad case when the jury indicated they had reached a verdict. Mir Kellogg gave way and the jury filed in. There appeared to be something unusual i'll the tone of the foreman as he replied to the clerk that they had reached a verdict, and when it was announced by the latter that $20O was awarded 1 the plaintiff the court expressed him. i sell substantially thus.
 | "Gentlemen of the jury, while # rests with you to decide the issue in volyed in this case, 1 cannot accept this verdict. If you find for the plain tiff you surely must believe that hu- man life. that this woman who was only B years of age. who lost her life through the negligence of the defend- ant, if that is you verdict, you surely must consider that such a life was worth more than $20O. The sum does not seem adequate and I will ask you to retire again." The jury retired to their room and in half an hour re- turned With a verdict for S1.OOO.
 Such was the close for the present of this case. which has been closely 1 watched by almost all of the lawyers in the city. They had watched for the reason that many of them had been asked to take it up before the O'Neills were invited to do so. and they rt- fused upon the grounds that they deemed their work would be fruitless. at least if it were tried by a judge. But the O'Neills saw a good case and the verdict endorsed their views.
 The jury has been excused for the rest of the term, which closes Wednes- day.
 In arriving at the first verdict the Jury at first stood nine to three for the defendant but the three were firm They considered the plaintiff ought to recover for his expenses for deceased's funeral at least and favored a verdict for $2OO- They finally won over the nine for that amount. Upon their re turn to the jury room the second time they were under the impression that they had to return q verdict for q larger amount than S20D. having mis apprehended the courts instructions ol reprimand. The defendant will takt the matter to the supreme court.
