HE appeared surprised.
"'Are you the girl?' he asked.

SPECULATION AS TO WHAT
CAUSED JURY'S ACTION

The action of the jury I'm asking for
the exhibits and testimony has led TO
much specializing as TO the trend of
their long discussion. one of the
most widely discussed theories Is that
the jurors either wanted to refresh
their memories to the testimony which
went to show either deliberation or
premediaBon upon the part of Thaw,
or else they wanted To have the story
of Thaws actions on the night OF the
tragedy rehearsed once more in order
that they may judge as To his ration

 duStriaI Life CAUGHT WITH CHICKENS Negro Has Several Shots Fired at Him as He Runs-Personal and

 EnsIey.
CAUGHT WITH CHICKENS

Ensley, May 11.-(Special.) )-The an- nouncement from New York that Edward H. Hartman has given an order to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany for 15O,090 tons of open-hearth steel rails was read with no small degree of pleasure and satisfaction by the people of Ensley, in fact by all the residents of the Birmingham district.
 The contract represents a gross price of $5,000,OO0, the rails being for use on the Union and Southern Pacific systems, and the Illinois Central, and calling for de- livery in 1908 at the rate of 15O00 tons per month. This is said to be the largest
 individual order for rails ever given. This order for rails from one of the greatest railroad operators of the world leaves nothing to be desired in the way of evidence that the Tennessee Coal, Iron | and Railroad company is now making at
 the Ensley plant the best open-hearth steel rail that is on the market today.
 The superiority of the open-hearth pro- cess over the Bessemer process of mak- ing rails is generally conceded, and in this lies the advantage of the Tennessee l company, for all It's product is made by the former method.
 The new steel and rail mill now in course of construction by the company will no doubt be In successful operation 1 when time for delivery of this large or | der begins, January, 1908. At present the average output of the rail mill is about 1200O tons per month. As the Hartman contract calls for delivery at the rate of 15OOO tons per month the necessity for an increase in the capacity of the mill is apparent and that the company will be
 ready to make delivery when the time comes is a certainty, barring some un- foreseen contingency which has not yet appeared upon the horizon of the imme- date future. Construction work is pro- gressng as well as could be expected or desired, and when completed the output

Is thirteen lucky or un1ucky? That is probably the question which Is agi- tating the eonvolutions of gray matter Ill the cranium of some ebony hued son of Africa who does on the dark meat or the chicken lifted unsuspectingly from the roost during the dark of the moon. Last night about Ii o'clock Officer Hale saw a negro alight stealthly from Wylam car at Avenue E and Nineteenth street, carrying carefully an ordinary soda cracker box with 8 cloth thrown over the top and tucked down around the sides. The duslxy one stepped into Gulos' fruit stand, leisurely drank a bot tie of soda water, walked 10 the corner, sat down and placed his burden on the sidewalk near him, and nonchalantly leaned against astelegraph pole, presum- ably to wait for a car The officer walked up to "Sambo" and asked what the box contained. Provisions" said "Sambo,' with a far away look. Being a little curl ous, however, as to the nature of the pro- visions Officer Hale stopped down and began to remove the cloth cover from the box. "Sambo" must have decided very suddenly that he was wanted else where, for, giving himself shove with one foot against the post he was in the middle of the street on dead run by the time the officer had discov- cred in the box twelve large, fat hens and one fine rooster, all with necks broken and bodies still warm. MT. Hale gave chase and fired twice without result on the fleeing negro, who was soon swal- lowed up in the darkness. Having lost the thief Officer Hale returned and took charge of the fowls, which he disposed of at the rate of 20 cents each. Sambo has probably decided that if luck was against ! him in the loss of his stolen chickens he was thrice fortunate in escaping arrest. It's poor rule that won't work both ] ways
 It Is understood that the raid was
 made in the neighborhood of Twenty | eighth and Twenty-ninth streets on the | Wylam car line. Officer Hale desires 1t to be known that the losers can get their pro rata share of the proceeds of the sale of the chickens by applying to him.
