The merchant was favorably inn
pressed with his appearance and
address, and after asking him q few
questions relative to his business
experience, promised him q place In
his employ. But the caller, who
evidently had expected TO be more

unable TO each a decision and until

The fact that no intimaton has

Twice during the Jay the jury filed
inlo the court loom and asked as
sistance of the court to endeavor to
bring about an agreement.
The Jurors wanted to hear again
the evidence of numerous eye wit

to hear what DR. Hamilton had been
allowed 70 testify to as to Thaw's
condition on the night of the tragedy
and wha' Evelyn Thaw had said as TO
her husbands conduct that evening:
they wanted to hear repeated again
the conversations Thaw had with
James Clinch Smith,, just before he
committed the homicide: they wanted
to hear several portions of Fitzger-

hey asked permission to take pos |

AGAINST OWNERSHIP PLANK.
Senator Tillman Wants Income and
Inheritance Tax, However.

Chicago, June Ex-senator Benjamin r.
TnlmGn, of South Carolina. stopped over
in Chicago long enough yesterday to de-
clare there would be no governmental
ownership plank in the Democratic na-
tional platform next year.
But he added public opinion
throughout the whole country is so crys-
tallized on the subject Of railroads. their
financial Juggling, and extortion, that a
plank calling for their 'effectual control
by the Federal government-for the pro-
lection Of the shipper and in the inter-
ests Of the passanger-is inevitable.
The Senator said that he believed that
the tariff reform subject, though hack
neyed one, will still be a political bone
Of contention, and that # would be taken
up by one or both Of the leading parties
at the 1893 national convention. He looks
upon a tax on incomes and inheritances
as good Democratic campaign thunder.
When asked who would be the Demo-
cratic nominee for President next year,
he only said.

ton caused me to start to pick up a
