TFrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Xew Yokk, Nov. 4 Just now Chief Supervisor of Elections John L Davenport is the principal figure on the chessboard here. His position is somewhat similar to that gentleman of ancient times who, be tween drawn swords, was laced with the proposition: "Under which King, Bezonian, peak or die." Tammany lawyers write Mr. Davenport Instructing liim as to his duties on election day and prior thereto regarding the arrest of illegal voters. The United States At torney General has issued a manifesto de claring what the law is regarding the duties of United States marshals and other officials, snd lastly the United States District At torney here also gives an opinion. Mean time, Mr. Davenport goes calmly on the even tenor ol his way, and the end is not yet There are loud cries of fraud on both tides, knives are whetted for the contest, the police are appealed to in order that voters may be protected. Party leaders are busy over final details, and the great American voter in New York stands ready to do his duty when the time comes. Both Sides Claim All In Sight. Meantime, comforting dispatches are sent forth from both headquarters, claiming all in Eight, and thus stands the political situ ation at present The following circular was to-day issued from Republican na tional headquarters: There liave come to the Republican Na tional Committee, from various sources, in timations that tliereserve crop of campaign lies for issuance -the Uay before election is very proline, and unusually sensational ai tlcles are to be published, pre-enting- what puTports ta b facts from all We-tern States, lor publication in the East, and the reverse for publication in the West, when too lato to be contradicted, that shall have the In tended effect at the last moment of influ encing the larce number ot men who are al ways willing and anxious to be on the win ning side. They are to claim everything in the East and ive over the West bodily to the Wea er electoral vote. What the Scheme I Thought to Be. Carefully piepareo tablets will bo pub lishcdthat shall prove their assertions and demonstrate that the election of Cleveland is beyond a quetion. republicans all over the land should be prepared lor just this line of action: they should discredit all claims not based on sure information, and the more sensational the story the more it should ho discredited. The Insh-Ameri-ican v ote is to liavo their careful considera tion, and loorbacks of the most sensational character are to he published. The sentl ment of the race is to be worked for all it is worth, and several Irish-Americans who are as firmly Republican as the bead of the ticket, will be quoted as having at the last moment turned to the apostle of English In terests and deserting protection and honest money for the false gods of free trade and a wildcat currency. Be on your guard. Believe only that which Is consonant with common sense, or accom panied by unimpeachable testimony, and do not change the conviction that has come by honest thought, bnt vote as your con science dictates and as you believe to bo light. Ton have the assurance of this com mittee, based upon confidential and reliable information all over the country, that the nominees of the Republican party will be elected by a constitutional majority that shall be beyond all question. A Democratic Address Issued. From Democratic headquarters, this aft ernoon, was issued an address to the people signed by William r. Harrity and Don M. Dickinson, the respective Chairmen oi the National and Campaign Democratic Com mittees. In it they touch upon the tariff, the growth of monopoly under Republican rule, the condition of the laboring classes, the danger that threatens the Nation if the present form of Government continues, the high character and public services of Cleveland, the frauds of the past in some of the States and the oppression of the farmer, and finally some words upon "that oppres sive and iniquitous measure fostered and born under Republican rule," the force bill, closing by an appeal to the people to labor without ceasing for Cleveland, Stev enson and good Government nnder a Demo cratic administration. The address con cludes as follows: On the day or election lay aside all duties except the duties of the day. Protect your respective polls against bribery, fraud or intimidation. No badge of authority can empower any man tointerlere with the law lul casting of your rightful ballots. There is behind each one of yona force of public opinion and a power of actual law which will assuredly hold to strict account the men r. ho are now endeavoring to dereat the fair expression of your wilt The right is with us, and we aro certain or victory. Make it nn overwhelming tiiumph. Chairman Carter to-day would say noth ing regarding the instructions of Chairman Sheehan to the local subordinates and the powers and duties of United States mar shals at the polls on election day, except that as he understood the controversy it was between the United States Government and Mr. Sheehan, and that he considered the former amply able to take care of itself and perform its lull obligations to the people. Business Men All for Harrison. J. Frank Supplee, of Baltimore, who has been speaking here and in Brooklyn, said at Republican headquarters to-dar that he bad never seen in 20 years' experience such general interest taken in a Presidents! cam paign. Bankers, insurance men, wholesale dealers of all classes and business men CAMPAIGN WORK, generally were strongly for Harrison, and the same feeling extended to importers, who are now satisfied that the "McKinley bill, contrary to their expectations, has in creased their business. The Irish-American voters of the Twenty ninth district are a little stirred up over the appeal from Tammany for ther votes In support of Arthur 0. Butts for Assem bly. Mr. Butts came into prominence in 1885 as the attorney for Mrs. Dudley, who attempted to assassinate O'Donovan Bossa. Butts at that time was an obscure conntry lawyer, and it was deemed very strange that he should have been summoned for the defense when so many able men were on the ground. He claimed to have come in response to a telegram signed by the Brit ish Consul General here, but the latter de nied having sent it and openly charged Butts with having forged his name for ad vertising purposes. This was not denied by Butts. These little things are now re membered By Irish-American voters, and the Tammany ticket is liable to suffer in consequence. Great Interest Taken by Germans. Chairman Hahn, of the Republican sneak ers bureau, stated to-day that never before have the Germans taken so lively an inter est in politics. The demand for German orators has been immense, and all reports show that the Germans are particularly solicitous for honest money and against wildcat banks, and as a result, a large vote from that people will be cast for Harrison. Members of the Journeymen Horseshoers' Union, according to theDemocratic litera ture to-day, have a direct grievance against President Harrison because he only keeps two horses and has them shod at a non union shop to save, so they claim, ?1 25. This is contrasted with the policy of Mr. Cleveland, who kept ten horses and paid union prices. This fact was brought to the notice of President Harrison, but be made no change. International Delegate Conway asserts that the Republicans "have great gall after this to ask for the support ot workingmen," and that every one of the 8,000 votes of the union will be cast against Harrison and Reid, and that the day tor fooling the workingmen has past COUSINS IN A TANGLE. Chaiiinen Recdcraml Wright nave a Little Fan With Each Other. Philadelphia, Nov. 4. The Bulletin this afternoon says: General Keeder. Chairman of the llepuD llcan Mate Committee, lost patience to-day. His oousln, Chairman Wright, of the Demo cratic State Committee, had aggravated blm beyond the point of endurance. Both gen tlemen are from Allcntow n, and are 11 rat cousins, and while hating each other cordially" politically, are very close in a friendly way. As a rainbow chaser Mr. Wright is a shining light. He claims any thin;; and everything. lie says Pennsyl vania will cle a majority lor Cleveland outside of Philadelphia, and his exuberance actually carries biui to the extent of claim ing the State Legislature for the Democrats. In the course of an interview in the Bulle in General Reeder claimed 70,000 majority for Harrison, oi wnicu ne saia S3,uw wouia come irom tne stjte ontsiuo oi .rniiaueipnra. nlen itAf'i .! that tli Tjrrt ela Miva wrnl He also decried that the Legislature would tie Republican and would re-elect Quay as United States senator. This evening Chairman Wright of the Democratic State Committee, was asked if hehaiseen the interview, and laughingly replied: "Oh, yes. I see that General Keeder accuses me of being sanguine. Well, I am not at all despondent At least, I ha e not been scared in this cam paign to any extent as vet" "Have vou anything to say as to General Beeder's figures?" "Nothing more than this. In my judg ment he is altogether wrong. Sanguine is too mild a term to. apply to his boasting. My conclusions are based on careful re ports received from various parts of the State, which lme "been carefully verified. My correspondents may be wrong, but I am sure they are honest in their views. As to the assertion that a Legislature will be elected to return Quay to the Senate I re gard that as a challenge to independcut Re publicans made in reckless dehance of the moral sentiment which has been so strong in opposition to Qusy and Quayism." LOTS OF BETTING TALK, But Very Little Money Put Up In New York on the Result. New Yokk, Nov. 4. SjwiaL Betting talk monopolized the time of nearly all the brokers to-day, to the exclusion of every thing else, but comparatively few bets were made. Louis Clark bet $5,000 even on Harrison. The bet was taken by four Cleveland men, F. Benedict, L. L. Benedict, E. Tnlcott and A. De Cuppet A conserva tive estimate placed the amount wazered to-day on the Stock Exchange at $25,000. At the. Produce Exchange Mike Dwyer placed $1,000 on Cleveland's carrying this State against SGO0. A. P. Downer was re ported to hold $25,000 tdbet on Harrison. At the Uofiman House most of the bet tors were bookmakers, and the fact that thev looked upon the wagers as samblinir pure and simple was indicated bv their readiness to bet either wav, provided they could get the odds to suit them. J. H. Veuig, Mike Dwjer's representative, made a number of brts on Cleveland. He bet $1,000 against $500 with Emanuel Marks on the result in this State, and made a similar-wager with Robert Irvine. He also bet $50Q even with Levi Burg that Cleve land would have a plurality of 20,000 in New York State. Other bets ranged even, with what odds there were given bv Demo cratic bettors. Sat Goodwin, xmong other wagers, offered $1,000 even that the odds would change to-morrow in favor of Harri son. A SIXTH? IN PHILADELPHIA Not Quite So Much Money Put Up Tester day as Usual. Philadelphia, Nov. 4. The betting on the election in this city to-day took something of a slump. The principal bet made was between Magistrate Ahern and Teddy Gray, a Gloucester race track bookmaker, of $5,000 even on the general result J. T. O'Rourke, a well-known Democrat, made a bet of $3,000 at the Hotel Lafayette on Mr. Cleveland's election. He placed the money In the hands of Manager Baker, ot the hotel, who held a similar amount put up by a Republican who did not wish to have his name known. Mr. O'Rourke announced that he had $10,000 more to bet even in favor of Cleve land on the general result; $10,000 to $6,000 that New York will eo for Cleveland, and $10,000 even that New Jersey will give 5,000 majority ior the Cleveland'electors. TAMMANY IS IN LINE. Croker Says There Is Not a Bit of Doubt About That. Cincinnati, Nov. 4. W. H. Bowe, of this city, who has an acquaintance with Bichard Croker, of New York, and who wrote to ask about tbe attitude of Tam many toward Cleveland, has received the following reply: Takmaitt Hall, Nsw Tons, Oct. 31, 1892. t W.

One Party Fully as Confident Victory as the Other. of THE PEOPLE WANT HONEST MONEY, Fay the Eepnbllcans, "While the Democrats Betort That TIIET HATE ENOUGH Y0TLS TO ELECT rEPICIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Indianapolis, Nor. 4. A few weeks ago only an occasional Republican could be found who would claim Indiana for Har rison. To-day the managers say that it is absolutely safe'for him, giving the reasons for the confidence that exists. Members of the Republican Committee sent out the fol lowing: Fiist The people want honest money. Second A majority of them believe in a piotective tariff. Thlid Inalana has grown into a great manufacturing State duiing the last four years, and this new interest is naturally Re publican. Fourth The tax law passed by the last Democratic Legislature is expected to help the Republicans. Firth It is believed tho People's party will help the Republicans. Sixth State pride will cut some figure. Seventh It is believed that there is still some disaffection over Gray's defeat at Chi cago. Eighth The Republicans have a complete organization, and will be able to get their lull vote out. A Discussion of the Reasons. Taking uj the reasons and discussing them, one committeeman said that the "wildcat money" issue would bring many votes to the Republican ticket The old men of the State, he said, were universally opposed to any movement looking to tbe return to a State bank currency, and they were talking to the young men with whom they have any influence on the question of protection. He believed that 60 per cent of the voters of the State were in favor of a protective tariff The new lactones, he said, were expected to wield a great influ ence in favor of the Republican ticket It is estimated by the committee that the vote in tbe natural gas district has been increased 30,000 the last four years. Sev enty per cent, it is estimated, of tbe im ported voters is in the gas belt, and that the Republicans will get 70 per cent of it The poll of the natural gas counties, it is averred, bears out the claim that the party is making. It is announced that the poll of Madison county, always a reliable Dem ocratic county, shows a Republican plural ity of over 200. Some of the Republicans claim this increase in the vote in tbe nat ural gas district alone ought to make the State Republican. But they say they, have other good resources to depend upon. ' Counting on a Big German Vote. It is said by the party that several thou sand men will refuse to vote the'Democratic ticket because of their dissatisfaction with the tax law enacted by the last Legislature. This' vote, it is said, will come largely irom the German population. The Republican State Convention, when it decided to re main silent on the temperance question, had in mind the leaving ot an open way for the dissatisfied Germans to vote the Re publican ticket The men who laid the plan now believe that it was wise, although they were not entirely sure of their posi tion when tbe convention met The action drove from the party some good men, but it is asserted that where one Republican has been driven over to the Prohibitionists three Democrats have come to tbe Republicans on the tax question. Tho estimate of tbe People's party com mittee is that two out ot three ot the new converts to the party are Democrats. They say it seems to be more of an accident than anything else that tbe new party is excep tionally strong in big Democratic counties. Allen county is an example. A few weeks ago there were, by actual count, it is claimed by the Populists, 1,000 People's party men in a parade, and the Republic ans aver that three-lourths of the number were formerly Democrats. The Republic ans feel that the Democratic-People's party vote in Allen county will more than ofiset the votes the Republicans will "lose on ac count of the disaffection led by McDonald. The Republican managers have estimated that the party will gain as many votes from the People's party as it will lose on account of the Prohibitionists who are Republicans in the ratio of 2 to L, Tbe Democratic Elde of the Story. In giving reasons why they will carry the State by a plurality of 10,000 the Democrats are even more boastful than the Republic ans. The reasons follow: First We have the votes. Second The new election law will help the Democrats. Third Republican disaffection will throw many votes to the Democrats. Fourth The majority of the people of In diana are in favor of tariff roforin. Fifth Judge Gresham and many other Republicans of prominence who have. an nounced that they will support Cleveland will have a great influence on the indepen dent young men of the State. Sixth The miners of the State are prac tically all for the Democratic ticket. Seventh Tbe great Increase in population in Lake county will hell the Democrats. Eighth The Democrats were never so well organized and so well prepaie'd to get out their votes and contend against Republican frauds. Tbe first reason the Democrats assign is the one that is used on all occasions. In answer to all inquiries the managers of tbe party express the belief that the State ;s Democratic by 15,000, and that all that re mains to be done this year is to get out the vote. It is cited that lour years ago, Harri son, with all the help of State pride, was able to carry the State by only 2,348, and that two years ago the Democrats carried the State by nearly 20,000. They say there are no desertions from the Democratic party, while there are manv from the Re publican party. The new ballot law, they believe, will help the Democrats. Accusations of Boodle in the Mate. The leaders of tbe party express the belief that the State was bought ior Harrison four vears aeo, and they do not believe that can be done again under the new law. They also believe thenew law will help the Democrats by giving employes an oppor tunity to vote their sentiments a thing, it is claimed, they have never been able to do in some parts of Indiana. The men who do the talking at Demo cratlo headquarters can cite a large number of men who have left the Republican party this year or voted for Harrison before and have announced that they will vote for Cleveland this year. They begin with Judge Gresham, who is counted as an Indianan, Snd then name D. P. Baldwin, of Logans port; John Overmeyer, of North Vernon: D. E. Williamson, of Green Castle; William Dudley Foulke, of Rioh monn; Lucius B. Bwriit, and many others, I all prominent in their respective localities. I Thev believe tbe Ther believe the Henublican disaffection it Ft, Wftyae will loio that party 1,000 votes in Allen county, and they exhibit a letter from BT. McDonald in proof of their assertion. McDonald was on the Republican State Committee and resigned because of his aversion to Harrison. He is very wealthy and rery influential. The party is connting ou an increased vote in the mining counties. They believe this will almost offset the inorease the Re publicans mar have in the natural gas dis trict There 'are between 6,000 and 8,000 voting miners in the State, and the Demo crats believe thev -will get the vote almost solid. Four years ago many of the miners voted for Harrison. Banking on Chicago Immigration. It is claimed that the dew population of Lake county, mainly in the towns of Ham mond and Whiting, is Democratic. The voters who have located there are nearly all from Chicago. The State Committee be lieves that the party will gain at least 1,000 votes in the northwest counties, on account of tbe immigration from Chicago. Tbe Democrats, too, lay streu on their eighth reason for hope. It is claimed for Chairman Taggart that no former chairman had the State so thoroughly organized and was so well equipped for getting out every vote tne party has. The Democrats do not believe the Peo ple's party will hurt them any worse than it will hurt the Republicans. The Repub lican managers admit that the State pride question will not cut as great a figure as it did four years ago, but they express the be lief that it will bring the Republicans some vote& Thev believe that there are Demo crats in Indianapolis, a there iwere four years ago, who will vote for Harrison be cause they knew him as a friend and neigh bor. Not much stress is now placed on the Gray disaffection, but there are few of the ex-Governor's friends, it is claimed, who have not been brought into line. The eighth reason the Republicans give they regard as one of their best ones. The managers say the party never had a, com plete organization in tbe State, and that better work was never done than has been done the last three weeks. The organiza tion for getting out the vote is said to reach into every precinct in the 8tate. Many of the deputy marshals being sworn in here are a bad 'lot, while some are re spectable citizens. The betting continues In favor of Cleve land carrying the State. Democrats say it is almost impossible to get even bets on In diana. t3r"The Dispatch trill contain the most com prehensive reports of the Election on Wednesday morning. Order in advan-e. MERCIER GOES FREE. The Ex-Premier of Quebec Acquitted of Defrauding the Province. Quebec, Nov. 4. "Down with Angers," "Down with the provisional executioners," "Hurrah for Mercier," were the yells that went up from a crowd of 3,000 men in front of the Court oi Justice here to-day. And as the crond yelled, four sturdy fellows bearing ex-Premier Mercier on their shoul ders appeared at the Court House door. "Non coupable," roared one of tbe four, while his three companions cried, "Not guilty." That was the verdict rendered by tbe jury in the case against ex-Premier Mercier, charged with trying to defraud the Province out of 560,000. In his charge to the jury, the Judge said: No Minister can perform an act like tho one before us without the consent of his col leagues, nor can & Minister perform suoh an act without the consent of tho representa tive or the Qneen in the person oi the Lieu tenant Governor. There la no possibility of there having been any conspiracy to de fraud tue province of $t0,00U. As for tbe other accusation, we all know Pacand cot $50,000.

AN ASSASSINATION PLOT. Startling Developments in the Case of the Mnrder of .Detective Carey. New York, Nov. 4. The killing of Cen tral Office Detective John J. Carey by the "crook," James D. Bianchett, bids fair to be sensational. Detectives have received information that there was a conspiracy to assassinate Carey, and that Bianchett and another member of the gang were tolled oil to do the work. There is a belief that Bianchett has made a -confession revealing the whole conspiracy. Acting upon the information which they received, detectives to-night procured a posse of five policemen and went to an apartment house on West Fortieth street. The party proceeded to the flat said to be occupied by a woman named Edwards, which they broke into. Ten men said to be professional thieves were found in the rooms and placed under arrest. They are said to have been concerned in the plot to murder Carey. The prisoners were taken to police headquarters, where they were locked up nith the greatest secrecy. MR. DEACON OUTWITTED.

THEY ARE FBEE-FOOTED And Have a Perfect Right to Go In side Polling Booths. SHEEHAN'S WAT REVOLUTIONARY ind Fane Persons ire Warned Against At tempting to Follow It. A CLASn EXPECTED NEXT TDESDAY New York, Nov. 4. The members of the Democratic National Committee, who were at headquarters to-day, fear trouble at tbe polls if the marshals carry . out the United States laws this year as they have in the past. The National Committee ap proves the action of the State Committee in advising citizens to arrest marshals who at tempt to enforce those parts of the United States statutes which conflict with the State laws. It is stated by the Eienlng Pott that Chairman Harrity, of the Democratic Na tional Committee, will issue a manifesto on this subject before election day. At Republican national and State head quarters it was said to-day that tbe mar shals would certainly go within the rails at the polls, and that no authority. State or city had any right to prevent them from doing so. At the Democratic headquarters it was said that Lieutenant Governor Sheehan's instructions would certainly be carried out and the marshals would be arrested if they went within tbe rails. Sheriff J. J. Gorman has begun the work of swearing in a corps of special deputies in case of emergencies. Trouble Courted hy Sheehan. "I have received no official communica tions," said Mr. Gorman to-day, "but from what I have read I believe that tbe situation warrants me in making prepara tions to maintain the public peace. ,1 am responsible to the State for the peace ot this county, and I will see to it that the peace is preserved. The police will be on special duty, and, I therefore think that more deputies are "needed." Chairman Carter was asked his opinion of the situation as it stands with regard to Chairman Sheehan's instrnctions to his local subordinates concerning the relations ot Federal and State officers at the polls. Mr. Carter replied that he had nothing to say other than that he understood the con troversy to be between Mr. Sheehan and the United States Government, and he apprehended the Government was abund antly able to take care of itself and to perform its obligations to tbe people in full. Charles "W. Hackett, Chairman of the State Executive Committee, said: "If policemen attempt to interfere with the United State's marshals, whose- duties, as clearly defined'under the law, are to see that the voting is' fair and honest, there will be trouble." Over in Brooklyn, according to the au thorities, the inadequacy of the Brooklyn police force to properly patrol the city and to do duty at the polling places on election day has necessitated the appointment of 610 "special" officers by Commissioner Hayden. The "specials," who will be paid ?2 50 per day, are composed principally of men who are recommended by their respective ward associations. There are also a few unem ployed Union war veterans among the "specials." Supervisors Can Go Where They Please. Edward Mitchell, attornev for the South ern district of New York, has written a letter to the Urftted State Marshal and In spector of Elections, anent Mr. Sheehan's instructions, in which he recites the law as contained in tbe Revised Statutes,and con tinues: i Will you kindly Instruct each Supervisor of Election and deputy marshal that when ever there is any conflict between the law of the United States and the law of the State, tbe law of the United States is para mount. You will also please inform all such Supervisors of Election and deputy mar shals that the United States intends to carry out the provisions of seotlon 2019 ol tbe United States Revised Statutes, and to see that every Supervisor of Eleotion and every deputy marshal, if requested to suppoit him by such Supervisor of Election, shall be allowed to take any position behind the euaid rail he sees Jflt on election day, and that any person interfering with them In any way while they are in the performance ot their duty behind tbe cuard rail in any polllnz plaoe on election day. can at once be arrested without process under section 1523, United States Revised Statutes. I would suggest that n copy of this letter be furnished to eaoh Supervisor or Election and deputy marshal. The committee of Democratic lawyers last night appointed at a meeting of Tam many leaders to look after the interests of Democrats arrested bv Federal officers be fore and on election day, have sent a com munication to Supervisor John E. Daven port The gist of the lett er is in this para graph: As vou can lust as well execute voui- war rants for Illegal registration now as on elec tion day, we have to roqueat that you will lortb with issue and execute any warrants you may intend to for illegal registration in order that the eleotor, if entitled to his dis charge, shall receive the same in time to cast his vote. The Democratic Order Is Revolutionary. Charles H. Dennison, Chief Supervisor of Elections for the Northern district of New York, has issued final instructions to Supervisors of Elections appointed to serve at the election November 8, of which the following is a part: The extraordinary pronunciamento is sued by Mr.Wm. F.Sheehan.Chairmun of the Democratic State Campaign Committee, di recting Democrats to prevent Supervisors of Elections and United States niarsnals from performing any of their duties inside the guard rail on election day, is revolu tionary. Frequent convictions havo been had in tbe Federal courts or persons who com mitted offenses of the same nature as those now advised by Mr. bheehan. In view of these convictions it seems hardly poxslblo that any sane person will attempt to follow Mr. Sheehan's orileis, but fearing such at tempts maybe made, I again instruct Super visois of Elections that they are to go inside tho gu.nd mil on election day, and lemaln there, before or behind the ballot holes', as they may deem beit, until the voting Is done, tho votes canvafssd, letnrns made and tbe Uoaidol Inspectois of Elec tions aajourns. The supervisors are to perform the duties required of them, and particularly to follow the directions which require thorn "to per sonally sciutinize, count and canvass each ballot in the election district or voting precinct cast. Swearing In U. 8. Deputy Marshals. Twelve hundred United States deputy marshals were sworn in to-day for duty at the polls next Tuesday. The work was per formed by United States Commissioner Shields.

MALICE MUST BE SHOWN, He Said, in Order to Convict the Tenth Regiment Officers. The Court Describes the Condition of Affairs at Homestead When lams Called for Three Cheers for Mr. Flick's Assassin The Advisor? Board's Bale Characterized Very Can didly Dr. Grimm Entitled to an Ac quittal, as May Be Colonel Hawkins, If the Jury Believes Certain Things The Jury Shows Signs of Disagree ment and Is Still Out. The Jury has the Iamsxcase, and will bring in their verdict, if they find one, this morning, "hey left the box at 2 o'clock, and the court adjourned till 2:30, when no sign coming from the jury room, Judge Porter directed another adjournment till 4 o'clock. At that time the jury filed into court. They looked disturbed in spirit, and it was apparent that they had come to no decision. Judge Porter informed them that he had sent for them merely for tbe purpose of giving them a chance to set a time, if they so desired, for him to meet them in the evening to receive their verdict. He was also ready to explain any part of his charge which they might not have understood. Ha was particular to impress upon them that he did not desire them to give the Court or anyone else an inkling of how they stood in regard to a verdict. The foreman of the jury, after making Judge Porter repeat his remarks, said that he did not think it would be possible to name an hour to meet tbe Court, and that the jury would like to be permitted to bring in a sealed verdict Were Not Near an Agreement. The next juror to the foreman and a stout jnror seated in the second row chimed in with the remark that they certainly could not set an hour for reaching a verdict. To avoid further revelations of the evident disagreement in the jury box, Judge Por ter dismissed the jury with the injunction to hand in a sealed verdict this morning should they agree upon one. The courtroom was crowded when the eighth dav of the trial began. There were a number of ladies present, all the prom inent lawyers who could get in, and a large crowd of a decidedly mixed character cut side the railing. The Homestead delega tion, including Mr. Brennen, tbe attorney of the strikers, was a prominent element. It was an intensely interested audience, but the memory of Judge Porter's stern re pression of the outburst the other day kept it from being demonstrative. The day's battle began with a pretty loud discharge of tbe defendants' legal battery, touched off by Senator Bobbins. Mr. Bobbins made a strong plea for Colonel Hawkins, and the roast he gave the prose cutor, lams, was artistic as well as telling. Frank P. lams made the concluding speech for the prosecution. His analysis of the evidence in Private lams' favor betokened great care, and he made the most of all the available points. He did not spare the de fendants nor their witnesses, ana the effect of the eloquent peroration may be apparent yet in the verdict . Judge Porter's Charge to the Jury. At 11:30 Judge Porter began his charge. It was delivered in sharp, incisive style, which made the Judge such a powerful advocate in days gone by. The disposal of the points offered by the defense hardly pre pred the audience for what followed. But it did not take long for everyone to gather that the charge proper was dead against Private lams. Many of the points ruled upon bv tbe Court in the preface were mora broadly discussed in the charge. The Court instructed the jnry, as desired, that under all the evidence in the case the verdict of the jnry as to Surgeon W. S. Grimm must be not guilty. As to tbe other defendants, the specially important points approved were these: That the verdict should be not guilty it it were shown that defendants were not malicious or revengeful in their actions, even if they served in judgment, and that they obeyed General Snowden as to drumming lams out of camp, etc Tbe instruction of the Court in favor of Colonel Hawkins was stronger still, to wit: that under all tbe evidence the verdict as to Colonel Hawkins must be not cuilty, unless tbe jury found from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, that he aided, abetted or encouraged the punishment of the prosecutor," and that he was influenced by malice or disposition to oppress. A number of other points, about one-half of those submitted, were re fused, chieflv.on account of form rather than matter. Dennlnc the Offenses Charged. Judge Porter began his charge with a definition of the offenses charged and the discretion of tbe jury in dealing with the matter of costs, and instructed the iury not to consider the second count of indictment No. C62, which charged unlawfully cutting and wounding. After an hour's recess Judge Porter resumed his charge at 1 o'clock, in the following language: Having Instructed you upon the general principles applicable to the Indictments is becomes necessary to direct your attention to a numberoflmportantquestlons growing out of thepeenliar circumstances and sur roundings of the parties by whom these of fnnnfn are aliased to have been committed. Tbe Governor of the Commonwealth, acting within the powers conferred upon him by the laws of the State, had called tbe National Ouard of the Commonwealth Into aotlve service. His Judgment upon the necessity for tbe assembling of the Guard was final and conclusive. The defendants were of ficers of tbe troops assembled by the Gov ernor, and the proseontor was an enlisted man. It waa the duty of the defendants, as well as the prosecutor, to obey the orders of the Governor, who Is Commander In Chief of the National Guard. Not Subject to Ordinary Rules. The defendants being officers, and the prosecutor an enlisted man under their com mand, this relation gives rise to certain duties, obligations and powers not involved in cases of ordinary oltiiens, and It must be considered by tbe Jnry in determining the guilt or Innocence of the defendats. Where a military force Is In aotlve service in an enemy's country, or repelling Invasion or quelling insurrections or putting down riots, in tbe very nature of affairs tbe asso ciation and organization of the force give rise to relations, and it Is absolutely essen tial to the preservation of the efficiency of the forco that the duties which tho officers PRIVATE 1
