The pIarcum Murder Trial.

Jackson, KY, June l9.-Curtis Jett
and Tom White will again have to stand
trial for the alleged assassination Of
James b. Marcum The jury reported
this morning that it was unable to agree
and was discharged AT s O'Clock the
jury reported that it could not agree.
Judge Redwine requested that the jurors
further consider the case and told them
that verdict was possible. AT $50
o clock foreman Richard Willard came
into the court room and told Judge Red
wine there was no prospect of verdict.
Redwine told him he wanted a verdict
and would wait until Saturday night if
necessary. At 9:l5 the foreman returned
to the court room and announced that it
was impossible to reach verdict. The
Judge then discharged the jury. The
Jury stood seven for conviction and
five for acquittal in the White
ease, and eleven for conviction and
one for acquittal in the Jet case.
One juror (Fitzpatrick), says there is not
only reasonable doubt of Jett's guilt,
but he is firmly of the opinion that he is
innocent. He says he knew no one con-
nected with the case and did not form
his opinion on the argument of the attor-
neys, but from the evidence presented
By the witnesses.
Jackson, Ky, June l9.-The trial Of
Curtis Jett for the murder of j. COckrill
will now be called and it may be post
poned until the trials Of Jett and White
are finally disposed of. 1t is stated that
Judge Rcdwine agreed to send the trials

verdict. Governor Beckham says he will
ask that the prisoners be brought to Win
chester for safe keeping until the trial
can be fixed for some other county and
that soldiers will be sent to preserve ord
err at the trials.
After discharging the jury, Judge
Redwine ordered the cases of Jet and
White to Cynthiana, Harrison county,
for trial, and directed ElisOr Jones to
take a guard Of the State militia and re-
move the prisoners to Lexington on the
afternoon train where they are to be
kept in the Fayette county Jail until
their trials are called at the next term of
court in Harrison county.
Major Allen, in charge of the troops,
here, is awaiting orders regarding the
breaking Of the camp. Judge Redwine

tain the greater part of the troops in
Jackson, sending but one company with
the prisoners to Lexington.

ReIiance's Costly Sails.

heavy northeast storm dampened the
spirits Of yachtmen who arrived at the
Indian HarbOr yacht club this morning,

wind of fifteen miles and heavy rain,

last Monday when the managing owener
of Reliance refused to let the new boat

Routed by Mosquitoes.

New Orleans, June 19.--Louisiana
mosquitoes have forced a government
surveying party to abandon their work
and fee for their lives. A short time
ago Professor Baylor, of the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey, came
to Louisiana to survey the oyster reefs on
the coast. After spending several days
on the coast Prot. Baylor found it was
impossible to continue on account of the
mosquitoes. He announced that the
lives of the members of his party were
at stake and abandoned the survey. The
party will return to Washington where
they will remain until winter, when they
will resume the survey.

STRIKE IN RICHMOND.

The attempt of the Virginia Passenger
and Power Company, owned by Frank
Gould, of New York, and his associates,
to operate its street cars in Richmond
Yesterday with men taken to Richmond
to take the places of the striking mo-
tOrmen and conductors was practically a
failure The yielding Of the Imported
men to the pleadings of the strikers and
the lack Of sufficient police in the out
lying districts to suppress the demon
STATIONS made against the strike breakers
by men, women and children who
sympathized with the old employees were
responsible for the failure To operate the
cars. Only five cars were taken out,
and these made but few trips to the
heart of the city. These short trips,
though ON the main line where the
police protection was the best that could
be expected, were made under such
difficulty and attended with such un-
friendly demonstrations that the manage
ment took the last ear off in the early after
noon and made no further effort to operate.
Jeers, boots, decayed vegetables, stale
eggs, refuse and filth greeted the men who
ran the cars. Abuse was also heaped
upon them. Men, women and children
in the section where many of the opera
tives live took part in throwing vege-
tables and other articles at the cars.
There came near being one or two small
riots, but the police by prompt action
prevented them. More than 60 motor
men and conductors from the North,
chiefly from Philadelphia, arrived in
Richmond yesterday morning, but the
strike emissaries were soon among them
and very few of the men went to work.
The trike-breakers" claim to have
been deceived in going to Richmond
though the company meets this with
signed contracts, showing the admission
that strike existed. The strikers sent
~ of the "breakers" back to PhiIadel-
phia last night and not more than six
were at the cOmpany's barns ready for
work this morning. Both the city and
county will put on large number Of
extra police today and the company ex-
pected to be able to operate a small
number of cars. Twenty-Five extra
policemen were sworn in last night. 1t
is feared there will be trouble today and
there is suggestion that the military
may have to be called on for aid in
order

An UncomfortabIe Experience

Chicago, June l9.-For twelve hours
yesterday the little steamer Mary drifted
helplessly in Lake Michigan, and 80
passengers who left Michigan City on the
vessel, at o'clock yesterday morning,
were in a state bodering on panic.
Many Of her passenger passed the day in
agony of sea sickness. While Chicago
was still % miles away and the steamer
was making good speed the propeller
was lost. Then her engines ran riot,
shaking the entire vessel and opening
some of the ships seams causing water
to trickle into her hold. When it was
discovered that the ship was helpless,
the captain ordered four of the crew into
a rowboat, which was headed for Michi-
gan City. Four hours later, that point
was reached. Officials of the company
were notified and tug sent TO aid the
Mary.

in the sheet. 1t is said 10 be now losing
heavily.
Most Of the time at today's Cabinet
meeting was consumed in discussion Of
the Galveston case. Attorney General
Knox presented an opinion in which he
said that he believed the Secretary of the
Treasury will be able TO enter Into a
stipulation that will result in dis
charge of the cruiser from custody Of the
Virginia State Courts, the continuance
of work upon the ship and the payment
of all claims due contractors or laborers.
In concluding the opinion, the At
torney General disposes of the position
to seize the ship by weight OF Federal
force. 81 am 10th to believe" he said
othat occasion for such exertion OF the
Federal power will arise, being confident
that any claim to interfere with the
national rights under judicial authority
of the State of Virginia will be promptly
disposed of and denied by the Chancery
court. For this reason | shall defer
answering the question. "
Secretary of the Navy Moody was in
formed this morning that the cruiser
Chattanooga, nearly completed by the
United States Shipbuilding Company,
has been taken possession Of by the
Sheriff of Elizabethport, n. j., awaiting
the decision of the State Court Of
as to whether this ship is an asset of the
shipbuilding tfnst This information
coming on top of the Galveston, which
the Virginia Court has ordered seized
at the Trigg Shipbuilding yards,
Richmond, is the cause OF con"
siderable concern in naval circles.
1t is denied at the Navy Department this
morning that there is any intention to
send gunboat up the James river to
seize the Galveston and prevent work
being stopped by the Virginia courts.
1t is the intention of the authorities to
post marine guard around the ship and
continue work in defiance of the restrain
ing order of the State court so that the
case may be thrown into the Federal
Court Of Claims.

A GOOD THING

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton Of DR.. A. Boschee, celebrated Ger
man Physician, and il acknowledged to
be one of the most fortunate discoveries
in Medicine. 1t quickly cures Coughs,
Colds and all Lung troubles of the sever
est nature, removing, as it does, the
cause of the affection and leaving the
parts in a strong and healthy condition.
1t is not an experimental medicine, but
has stood the test Of years, giving salts
faction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually. Bos-
chee's German Syrup was introduced in
the United States in 1868, and is now
sold in every town and yillagein theciy-
ilized world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price 25 and 70 cbs.
