ONE OBSTINATE JURYMAN.

For time there threatened to be dis
agreement in the jury. The jury was
brought before Judge Adams, who asked
the cause of the long delay. He was told
that eleven jurors had agreed, but the
twelfth stood out alone. The court ad-
monished the lone juror that the expense
of q new trial should not be incurred be-
cause of his failing to agree with the ma
jority Of the jurors. A precedent was
quoted showing that the majority Of the
Jurors should decide the case beform them
and verdict be rendered accordingly.
The jury was then told to 60 back aud poll
it's vote once more. Soon afterwards the
jury reported, bringing in a verdict, bnt
Judge Adams found that the third count
indictment had not been considered, and
again he sent the jury back to consider the
case, without having announced the ver'
dict returned.

KlLLORIN LOST HIS CASE .
Could Not Prove Ownership of the
Yacht Adrienne.

Norfolk, Va, June 3.-After a SEN
sational hearing in the United States
Court to-day the libel brought by J. l..
Killorin of Savannah for the possession
of the yacht Adrienne, claimed by H.
Mason Clapp, was dismissed.
The yacht has been in custody of
the federal court. Clapp, who is a
graduate of Harvard who once prac-
ticed law in Philadelphia. and who is
a grandson of Mason, who made a for
tune out of backing, was arrested
here recently on a charge Of lunacy
preferred by Killorin, who had been on
a cruise with Clapp. but the commits
sion did not act, as Clapp was sent to
hospital. Afterwards Killorn
claimed the yacht,
The bill of sale was in Killorin's
name. but Clapp explained by stating
this was done to evade the payment
of an allowance made by a New York
court for his children after Clapp's wife
had secured a divorce. and also to pre-
vent the vessel from being seized.
Killorin's testimony was sensational.
and he told of the alleged crazy antics
of Clapp at sea.
Clapp, who was addicted to NOR
phine, has recovered.

BOY WAS HELD FOR THE
MURDER OF HIS MOTHER.

Trenton, n. j., June S.-Nathan Sib-
bett. the 14-year-old boy who was ar
rested last Sunday on the charge of
being responsible for the death of his
mother. whose body was found at her
home at Jacobs creek in a partly de-
composed condition, was to-day formal
ly committed on a charge of murder.
The coroner's jury to-day rendered
a verdict to the effect that Mrs. Sib-
bett came to her death by being push
ed downstairs by her young son. This
was rendered from the testimony of
police officials, to whom young Sibbett
made a confession. According to the
testimony of the officers, the lad had
nuarreled with his mother on the Tues
day before her body was found and he
pushed her from the top of the stairs,
her death resulting. The boy then
covered her body with bed clothing
and left the house. He wandered
around the neighborhood, telling those
who inquired that his mother had gone
10 Philadelphia.
When the house was broken into sun
day and the body found, the boy pro-
fessed entire ignorance of his mothers
death. After he had been locked up
and closely questioned by the authori-
ties, he made the confession which re-
suited IN to-days verdict.

RUSSIANS DISCUSS
PLANS OF KUR0PATKIN.

st. Petersburg, June 3.-The best in
formed military circles attach no i'm
portance to the reports that Gen. Ku-
ropatkin has detached a large force
from his army at Lao Yang and dis
patched it southwark to relieve Port
Arthur, and it is distinctly denied that
Emperor Nicholas personally ordered
such a movement.
1t can be authoritatively stated that
the Emperor's confidence in Kuropat-
kin is unshaken, and his majesty is
not attempting to interfere with his
plan of campaign. While no such
army has been dispatched southwark,
1t is natural that Kuropatkin will do
all possible to harass Gen. Okus rear.
The railroad has been kept open as
far as Vafangow. twenty-five miles
above Kin Chou, and it is not unlikely
that when the Japanese have failed
to push through line across the head
of the Lao Tung peninsula, that sew
eral thousand Russian troops may be
sent down the railroad to impede the
japanese operations and in1ict as
much damage as possible as these
could easily be withdrawn by railroad
If the enemy threatened to cut the
line of communication above.
Even the loss of a few regiments
nese operations against Port Arthur
were thereby retarded for an appfe-
ciable time. However, it is realized
that with the Japanese occupation of
Port Dalny and Talien Wan as bases
for landing siege guns, the small force
above in Kin Chou could accomplish but
little, and it is now more likely to be
withdrawn, destroying the railroad as
1t retires northward. For stategic pur-
poses Kuropatkin may be trying to
make the Japanese believe that a move
ment southwark is contemplated in
order to divert Kuroki's attention in
that direction.
The impression is being thrown out
in certain quarters here that kuro-
patkin is about to take the offensive
and that an engagement with Kuroki
is imminent But, so far as can be
ascertained. there is no solid founda-
tion for this. 1t is unquestionable
however, that the railroad is pouring
troops into Man%s.ria at the rate of
almost $500 a day, and it will not be
long at the present rate before the
Russian commander-in-ch will be at
least on equal terms with any force
the enemy can bring against him.
The general staff is keeping very
dark about the whereabouts and pur-
poses of the Cossacks reported to be
working around Kuroki's rear, and the
number of the raiders operating in
Korea.

From kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, June S.-Nine per-
sons are reported to have been killed
and many injured in a collision Of pas

of Mastin. The engines were both
large and were demolished.
The day coach on the accommodation
was telescoped, but the chair car was

ST0ESSEL DESCRIBES
GALLANT FIGHTING.

st. Petersburg, June 3.-Lieut. Gen.
patkin. transmits to the Minister of
War, under date of June 2, a report
of General Stoessel, dated Port Arthur,
May 2S, as follows:
After a fierce battle, lasting two
days, I ordered our positions at Kin
Chou to be evacuated in the evening,
for we had opposed to US at least three
divisions with 12O guns.
The enemys fire. particularly that
from four gunboats and six torpedo
boats, completely annihilated our bat
teries mounted at Kin Chou. The Fifth
Regiment, which was posted on this
spot, stood it's ground heroically. The
fire of this regiment, as we'll as that
of our batteries and the gunboat Bobr,
off Khounoueza, inflicted enormous
losses on the Japanese
Our losses amounted to thirty off,
GERS and 800 men killed or wounded.
We blew up or damaged all our guns
which the japanese had not put out
of action.
1t would have been inexpedient GER
tainly TO bring up siege artillery dur
ing the fierce fighting.
The battle May 26 began at a. m.
and lasted until p. m, when ordered
the position evacuated gradually. The
explosion of number of our mines
and fougades was rendered impossible,
because the japanese turned our posi-
ton Immediately. The Japanese ad-
Vanced through water up to their
waists under the protection of their
ships.
The spirit of our troops is excel
lent

In st. Petersburg military circles
1t is not believed that Gen. Kuro-

ing taken place at Vagenfuchu, as
twenty-six killed and thirty-seven
wounded.
Field Marshal Yamagata has been

wounded. The total of the Japanese
losses was 4,3O4 in killed or wound
ed, though the Russians were
driven from their position and lost
many guns.
Rumors are persistent at Lao
Yang that another great battle has
been fought near Port Arthur. A
Toxic dispatch says that the Japa-
nese have occupied the first line
of the outer defenses after a fee
BILE resistance by the Russians.
