SHAKING dice for a verdict is

SHAKING dice Tor q VofQlCU is
the latest way to a jury that
seems to be chung" and was
adopted by twelve good men and
true out at Fargo, n. d., the
other day. They were trying a
criminal case AMI seven of the m
conscientiously believed the &C
cused was not guilty. while five
were just as honestly convinced
that he was a proper subject for
penal servitude: After arguing
for hours and not making any
Roadway toward decision some
genius suggested that the YER
dict be determined by a roll Of
the dice and the idea seemed
good to everybody. One man
was selected by each side and
the two repaired to an anteroom
to settle the question. The man
who shook for acquittal won out
and the jury filed into the court
room with a verdict to that effect.
The Judge found out a little later
and administer ed such a roast
to the twelve good men as shall
never be forgotten. Dice shak-
ing may not be the correct way
of determining a verdict but if
the inner workings of the average
jury could be disclosed it would
not be the worst fault thai could
be found.

IT is astonishing to read in
the daily papers the number of
murders and suicides that have
been committed of late and our
neighbor state Minnesota seems
to have her share. These muir

and severe punishment admin
istered and perhaps it would
teach others a lesson.

Down in Ohio the other day a
preacher was found dead in bed,
the result of fasting for forty
days and forty nights. He was
under the impression that he
was. obeying a devine command
and that as a result wOuld be
more useful to the Lord. A
sister who was living with him
and had also been fasting declared
that her brother was only sleep

would awaken him, but instead
there will be a coroner's inquest
and the remains will be inferred
in the cemetery.
The southern states seem to
be little put out over the out
come of the last presidential
campaign and want the next
democratic presidential nominee
to be southern man claiming
that they were the only states
to stand by Parker in the last
fight. It is no more than fair for
the democrats to grant their
request. But they can't change
the result much no matter where
the nominee comes from.

ONLY A MOLEHILL
Experts Who Have Examined
the s. & W. Books Has
Found No Sensa-
tions


The expert accountants of the New
York Audit Company, employed to ex-
anime the books of the Water Depart
ment, are winding up their labors and
will make their report tomorrow. No
defalcations have been discovered and
only a few unintentional errors in book
keeping were found. The examination
of the books grew out of complaint
made by the Jersey City Galvanizing
Company of not receiving a proper re-
ceipt for $105 paid for water rents, a
mistake that was explained at the time
by Deputy Registrar Daniel Smith The
expert accountant and his assistant will
receive $40 per day for their services,
which they began early in January. In
order to protect its interests, the Street
and Water Board also hired experts to
go over the books. The city will have
to foot the entire bill, which amounts to
over eighty dollars per day. The ex-
perts suggest some new or "up-to-date"
improvements in the methods of keeping
the water account.

ERIE ENGINE STRIKES A CAR.

An Erie freight locomotive collided
with trolley car No. 421, of the Erie
street line, at the Pavonia avenue cross
ing at eight o'clock Saturday night. The
car was slightly damaged. Fireman S.
Campbell, of the locomotive, had several
toes of his left foot crushed.
The police authorities are investigat-
ing the accident. as they fear that
serious one may happen at that crossing.
In fact, had the locomotive struck the
car, which contained a number of pas
sengers, on Saturday night, instead of
the car striking the locomotive, some of
the passengers would have been serious
ly injured, if not killed.
1t has been ascertained that the rail-
road guards, or gates so-called, have not
been working all winter. The excuse is
given that they were frozen up, But
the Erie Railroad Company has all along
kept three men on duty at the gates to
avoid accident.
1t has not vet been determined who is
responsible for Saturday nights collision

SLASHED WITH A RAZOR.
Young Italian Girl Badly Wounde
BY a Jealous Lover.

Pretty eighteen-year-old Jennie Guilo,
of No. 297 Railroad avenue, was slashed
about the face with a razor by Rafael
Bisorello, twenty-six years old, of No.
105 Brunswick street, yesterday morning
while on her way to the Church of the
Holy Rosary. The assault occurred on
Colgate street.
Bisorello and the young woman were
engaged to be married some time ago
and it appears that the engagement was
broken off by Bisorello because Miss
Guilo's father refused to give him $500.
She then transferred her affections to
another man. This aroused Bisorello's
jealousy and it is said to have been the
cause of the assault
Bisarello was arrested and locked up
on a charge of atroeious assault and
battery.
Bisorello was arraigned in the First
Criminal Court this merning and held in
$1,000 for the Grand Jury. Miss Guilo
was able to appear in court. The wound
will leave her face badly disfgured.
