positions ir, cases and if they disagree with others to try and find out if their contentious are correct As to dan- ages the court told the jury that pom- hal damages might be awarded as MT. Craney had not offered testimony to prove he was greatly injured. In these cases damages are awarded not to punish the defendant but to compen- sate the plaintiff to the amount of his injury. The court referred to the fact that Mrs. Church admitted she had been to the office of Mir. Craney, but only to talk over the letters and she went alone. He briefly referred to other parts of the testimony and then asked the jury to retire and resume their deliberations.
 Those on the jury were the follow ing: Preston, Frank H. Palmer. George A. Pendleton: Colchester, William H. Blacker; Griswold, William J. Miner; Lebanon. Everett M. Terry, Fred O. Brown: North Stonington. James F. Brown; Franklin, James w. Hunting ton: Sprague. Louis St. Onse; Lisbon, Charles Budeit; Salem, John HI. Pur- cell; Voluntown. Leonard B. Kinnie.
 In the general expression of opinion among those at court on Tuesday aft CT the jury had gone out. the majority seemed to think that the verdict would be for the plaintiff but with a smaB amount of damages. When the jury failed to agree on Tuesday afternoon attorneys and others who were not in the case expressed the belief that this foreshadowed disagreement that could not be smoothed out.
 After the discharge of the jury on Wednesday both Attorieys R. M Douglass and J. T. Tanning, counsel for Mir. Craney, said the suit would be tried again.
 NIT. Douglass asked the court what was to become of the exhibits and Judge Shumway said they might go back to the people who had them

A P1ttSneld, Mass, correspondent writes:
 Barnum & Bailey's circus trains met with difficulty in getting to Pittsfield Tuesday from Worcester, and the Bos- ton and Albany railroad was blamed for delays. The circus wagons were still being drawn to the grounds on Pomeroy avenue at noon, and the thousands of people who had been waiting around since g o'clock won dered whether there would be pa rade. Mayor P. J. Moore, who signed the license for the circus yesterday morning, inserted the clause. No pa rade, license revoked" So it was up to the circus to make good. The pa rade went through North street about 3.30 o'clock, but did not contain the usual pageant-only- some of the wag- ons and horses and the elephants. The steam calliope was in the procession, but was not played as Boiler Inspect or Richardson refused the circus the right to use this machine, as 1t car ries no licensed engineer and the boil CT Is not of standard make.
