$1,000 FOR HEARTT.
Verdict Against Scranton
Company Just After
Midnight.

The Federal jury, about midnight last
night, in the suit of T. B. Heartt. of this
city. against the International Text Book
Company, of Scranton. Pa. for $4,000
damages for SANDER. brought in verdict
in favor of Mr.. Heartt. putting the
amount of damages at $500 and costs.
1t was a quarter past twelve O'Clock
when the jury came in, they having had
the case since shortly after the dinner
hour yesterday, some ten hours. The evl-
dence was all in by Saturday evening,
and yesterday morning the argument OF
counsel was begun. First spoke Armls-
tead Jones for Heartt, then came Attor-
ney Harrington for the Scranton Com
pany, next w B. Jones for Heartt, then
Col John w. Hinsdale and John w. Hins-
dale, Jr., for the company, and finally
Col. j. c. L. Harris for the plaintiff.
1t was learned after the verdict had
been rendered that every member of the
Jury was in favor OF a verdict for Mr..
Heartt, the only question beng as to the
amount of the damages. One man stood
for one penny, ana the highest favored
$4,000. The one penny man was grad
ualIy and finally worked up to $1,000. Be
yond that he would not go. He would
hang the jury first. So it was $1,000 at
the most. Then the $4,000 man WAS grad
ually lowered to the 81, 800 mark. In like
manner the compromise was effected with
tie others, until the final agreement was
reached.
When the jury returned to the court
room Mr.. Heartt was sent for at once,
and arrived a few minutes after the YER
dict was rendered. Many OF his friends
were waiting for the result, and he was
warmly congratulated, his friends rejoic-
ing in the verdict, in that it Vindlcated
TIE popular young man of the terrible
charges made against him. 1t was a vic
tory over the company that had called
him a liar theft and embezzler.
The following are the names of the
Jurors who sat in the case: j. a. Sheets,

Bryan was the guest of honor today at a
banquet in Warner Hall at which about
$50 Democrats were present. Governor
Garvn, of Rhode Island. and Congressman
Dc Almond, of Missouri, were among the
guests from other States.

bration of Jackson Day and was also de-
clared By some of it's promoters to be in

of the Presidential campaign in New Eng
land.

a maze of mathematics. But to say that
'ilc wages of sin is death is to give an
