A Novel Contest.

San Antonio, Tex. August 7.-(Special.) Keen rivalry has developed between the artisans and laborers engaged in the erection of the Gunter hotel and the Glover building. October 15 is the date set for the completion of the two build ings and the men employed on them are now trying to win laurels by getting ahead of each other. Though the making of bets is strictly tabooed at present in Texas, it is claimed that quite little of it is done in connection with this novel race So far the chances of the two gangs are about even. While the Glover building is ten stories high the Gunter hotel, with eight stories, covers a greater area.

The attitude of the great majority of active brokers on the exchange and of commission houses in general to their cus- toners is to take profits. There has been a good deal of this going on among the moderate and small proressionals and the chronic tape players who are satisfied with small winnings and who are the meal-ticket constituency for the members of the exchange.

FREE SHARP; TIED ON COOPfRS
Jury in Carmack Murder Trial 10 Sent
Back for Further De.
alterations.

Nashville. Tenn, March 21.-When
the jury yesterday returned a verdict
OF acquittal for John D. Sharp, charg-
ed with the murder of former United
States Senator E. w. Carmack and
declared it va "hopelessly tied up as
to the Coopers." 1t was generally con-
ceded that the end of the famous
case had been reached. Nothing
daunted by the expressive firmness of
Foreman Burke's declaration Of dis
agreement, Judge Hart sent the
twelve men out for further delivera-
ton and announced that he would not
discharge them until he was absolute
ly convinced that an agreement could
not be reached. The Jurors looked
tired, worn and i'll at ease. From
the loud talking heard in the room,
they have been having a strenuous
time. They are chatting under the re-
%straint, too. but evidently are consci-
entious in their determination to vote
with their convictions. In response
to the judges question as to whittier
a verdict had been reached, Burke re-
piled: I'VE are tied up tight as to
the Coopers, but we find John D.
Sharp not guilty.
Judge Hart quickly dismissed Sharp
and ordered the jury to continue its
deliberations as to the guilt OF inno-
cense Of the Coopers.
