INSISTS ON A VERDICT.
Tho Case of Dr. Jefferson Goddard
at Kansas City, Mo.
THE COURT DOESN'T WANT A MISTRIAL.
Judge Longnan Said the Jury Would be
Well Taken Care Os, But They
Must Reach a Verdict—Story
of the Tragedy.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 31.—The jury
in the ca->e of Dr Jefferson D. Goddard
for the killing of laundryman Fred
erick J. Jackson, after being out all
night, sent for Judge Longnan at 11 a.
m., ami said they were tillable to agree
upon a verdict. The judge immediate
ly ordered them locked up again.
“Thi-» court has all next week to rea
son about it," said .Judge Longnan to
tLe jury, determinedly, “aud you will
be well taken care of. You will reach
a verdict, gentlemen.”
The shooting occurred in the private
rooms of Jackson’s wife in the Wood
land hotel, and was the culmination of
a four years' quarrel between the two
men.
Jackson came here with his wife
from Illinois years ago. He started a
laundry and became rich. When his
eyesight failed, a few years ago, he
deeded his property to his wife, and
she managed the business. Mrs. Jack
son’s infatuation for Dr. Goddard,
the family physician, was com
mon gossip. She set the doctor
up in a drug business, and finally
moved to the hotel with her family,
leaving Jackson alone in their old
quarters. Goddard was a frequent
caller at the hotel. Before the killing
some one threw red pepper into Jack
sou’s eyes, aud again some one struck
him with a club. After that Jack
sou went armed. On April 2 last,
the night of the shooting, Jackson vis
ited his wife to remonstrate against her
spending money on Goddard. Goddard
was there aud the men quarreled.
Jackson pulled a revolver, but his
daughter snatched it from him. Two
hours later, when Jackson was sup
posedly unarmed, Goddard, who had
remained in the room, shot and killed
him.
Since the killing Mrs. Jackson and
her daughters have stood by Goddard,
and during the trial two of the girls
testified for their father’s slayer. They
contradicted themselves repeatedly in
cross-examination, and their actions in
the court-room earned for them the
contempt of the spectators, whoopenly
manifested their feelings.

BUSINESS REVIEW.
Trade Condition* According to Hrad-
Mtreet'* Weekly Report.
New York, Oct. 30. — Bradstreet’s
week 1 y review says:
General trade retains most of the features of
a week ago. with a continued cheek to the
movement of staple merchandise. At larger
eastern and central western cities sales of sea
sonable goods have not equaled expectations,
and at none of these points has the volume of
business increased. At Chicago, St. Louis,
Baltimore. New York and Providence there
has been a decrease in the volume of business
in some lines, due In part to unseasonable
weather, and In some Instances to the continued
quarantine of yellow fever districts. Some
joblters nt cities which supply southern mer
chants have delayed sending out travelers, and
in instances have culled travelers home
Collections are slower, tllling-in orders are
small and more infrequent, and business in
staple lines for the latter half of October, aside
from that in wool has been somewhat disap
pointing. The northwest continues to make
relatively more favorable reports as to trade,
although at Milwaukee and Minneapolis mild
weather has checked distribution. Nearly all
southern cities except a few In Texas. Arkan
sas and Georgia, continue to feel the influence
of the yellow fever quarantine, the extremely
low price of cotton and delayed collections.
Consumption of Irop and steel continues
heavy, but mills refuse orders for 1898 delivery,
in the belief that the cost of making iron and
steel will be higher. Woolen goods continue
firm and In fair demand with an upward ten
dency. but cotton fabrics are weak and the mar
ket is heavily stocked.
Wheat is again above a dollar, on continued
heavy exports. Our wheat export movement,
aggregating more than 70,0t)0,00ti bushels within
13 weeks, is unprecedented and points to a
keener appreciation of the statistical strength
of wheat by European importers than by many
American traders.
Exports of wheat (flour Included as wheat)
from both coasts and from Montreal this week
amount to 5.991.391 bushels, against 5,522.0tx
bushels last week. 3.628.9(H) bushels in the last
