The Jury Having Fred Gardiner's Fate in
 Charge Gould Not Agree
The Trial Brought Out Great Deal of Contradictory Opinion Regarding the Standing of the Defendant In This Community.

of them and Arnold to the other. In | fact Stevens shop is one of the head quarters of the anti-Gardiner faction | Regarding his doings on the day of election. Gardiner said that he had paid out no money to any voter or to any persons for working at the polls He had done a good deal of work him self and had induced others to do so
 but he said that he had done it for the good of the republican party. w. P. Doheney, who had charge for
 the republicans of the checking up of voters, said that he was in the check
 ing room before the opening of the polls and that soon after they open ed. Arnold and two or three others
 came in. Gardiner was there. sitting in a window seat talking to two oth-
 CT men. Arnold approached the table where the witness was working and asked for his number. While he was looking it up, Gardiner, Bob Hudson and others went out. There was no conversation between the defendant and Arnold at any time while they were
 in the room.
 R. N. Hudson testified that he was with Gardiner outside and that he did
 not see Arnold there at all. He was
 positive that he had had no conversa-
 tion with Gardiner Two other per sons who were in the checking room corroborated this statement and all of
 them had gone out of the room with Gardiner while Arnold was still there. None os them saw. Arnold afterward
 though they were in view of Gardiner nearly all of the time.
 This was the substance of all the testimony for and against the defend ant: that Of the self-confessed seller of his vote and the denial of Gardiner
 corroborated b.- his co-workers who
 swore that they never saw Arnold about the polls after he had received his number and had presumably gone direct to the voting place.
 An interesting but confusing feature
 of the trial was the character testi- mony for and against the defendant. The first witness was Frank T. Alkire,
 who said that he had known the de- fendant for about eighteen years and had never heard anything against his reputation: he had never heard that he was a corrupt political worker un- til he had heard of his indictment. His reputation for honesty he said was good
 The 'testirsOny of E. W. Potter, man. ager of the New York store, was of the same tenor. This was the first time that he had ever heard him ac- cused of unlawful practices at an cleo ton and he known him for eight years. The testimony of Charles Larson of Larson's drug store, was even stronger. The reputation of the defendant for honesty was good in this community. Moreover he had dealings with him covering a period of several years and had alwavs found him reliable.
 The defense had summoned Dr. H. A. Hughes as a character witness but a telephone message had been received

Eight Persons Killed By Coming To-
 gether of Cars Near Annapolis.

Annapolis. June 5.-In a head-on collision between two special cars on the Washington, Baltimore and An napolis Electric railway. shortly before o'clock tonight, eight persons were killed outright and a score of others were seriously injured, some fatally The collision was due to a confusion of orders as the line has been running several cars extra each day in con nection with the commencement fes- tivities at the naval academy
 The disaster occurred just beyond Camp Parole, which is the first stop after leaving this city. Both the wrecked cars were specials. one bound from Baltimore for Annapolis. and the other running from here, bound for Baltimore. The latter. carried a few passengers while the other was well filled.
 The impact was terrific and both were wrecked, the car bound for this city being thrown from the rails.
 As quickly as possible aid was sent from here andi the dead and injured were brought to this city Of the in jured. General Traffic Manager w. F. Slaughter, of the railway company. was in the worst condition, and his death at any moment would not cause his physicians surprise. His daughter Ruth, aged six was among the killed.

Admiral Sehree Commanding the Division Himself Escaped Death In the Steamblast by Narrow Mar gin of Some Fifty Seconds

ReinhOld and Meek were striken dead at the posts. Boggs and Wood. crawl ed or were dragged into the adjoining fire room. No II, and died quickly. The surviving. seamen all of whom re- ceived some injuries acted with the most herOism, aiding their less fOrtu- nate mates.
 Rear Admiral Uriel Sebree himself escaped death or serious injury in the ili-fated fire pit by a mere moments time. In company with Captain T. B. Howard he had just passed through the fire rooms on an inspection tour and left the room where the explosion occurred about fifty seconds before the fatal blast. The admiral stood in the engine room adjoining the fire room with Chief Engineer 4.

The case of the territory against Fred Gardiner indicted for the illegal expenditure of money at the fourth ward polls. took the same course as that traversed by the Carr case the day before. The jury was found to be hopelessly divided last night at ten o'clock after having had the ease un- der consideration for more than five hours It was then ordered discharg- ed 1t is understood that at the last it stood, seven for conviction and five for acquittaL
 It had been thought that there would be an immediate retrial of the Carr case or else that that defendant would be put on trial on the remain ing indictment against him. But in stead, the district attorneys office elected to take up the single indict- ment against Gardiner.
 There was rather more difficulty in securing a jury than on the preced- ing day. Some of the members of the Carr jury were accepted, but it was necessary to bring in more material to fill out the Gardiner jury. When it became a finished product it was sol idly democratic. The Carr jury had contained two republicans.
 Judge Baker who is absent from the city had been retained for Gardiner. but the defense in his absence was un- dertaken by United States Attorney Alexander and Capt. Christy who had defended Carr the day before. Several clements of liveliness missing from the former case were injected into the Gardiner trial.
 The case was a very simple one. It rested entirely on the word of C. P. Arnold a cOlOred barber, who for seF- eral reasons did not like Gardiner. Arnold works at Stevens barber shop. He said that on the morning of the election he went to the fourth ward polls and finding Gardiner there he asked him how much there was in it for him. He said that Gardiner re piled that there was a days work which !s understood to have been g. On this supported testimony the in dictment was found and the case pro- ceeded. Arnold said he got the money
 In the course of the day Gardiner himself took the stand and made a good witness. He denied that he had anything to say to Arnold that day His relations with Arnold were such that they would not likely have been brought together. He had informed the police at one time that Arnold was living with a white woman in the southern part of town and afterward with a Mexican woman named LOttie Garcia on account of his relations with whom he has had some trouble and has been brought under the notice of the police.
 Gardiner said that Arnold once ask ed him to use his influence with the police to the end that they might cease their surveillance of his resi- dence. It was also brought cut that there were two bitter colored factions in Phoenix Gardiner belongs to one

 The dead are; George Wood, water tender. Scranton, Pa; F. c. Boggs second class fireman, Woodlawn, Ala; A. Rienhold, machinist's mate second class Germany; G. w.
