As was predicted by nearly everybody, the jury la the celebrated conspiracy case failed to agree. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Charles W.;Anderson,of Cass county, the foreman, waited upon Jadge Wools and informed him that it would be imposaible for the jury to agree and asked what should b9 done. At the lame time Mr. Anderson told the Judge that the jnry had agreed on the acquittal ot John Keardon and John H. Counselman, and asked if a verdict as to 1 hem could be returned. The jurors say Judge Woods refused to make any reply to this question of the foreman, and in consequence no verdict was rendered as to thf m. After Foreman Anderson returned to the jury room Judge Woods held a long consultation with District Attorney Sehers, in the latter's office. At 5 o'clock Hon. C. F. McNutt, of counsel for the defendants, was sent for and the judge informed him that he had concluded to discharge the jury, as he considered it useless to keep them confined any longer. There had been a large crowd about the postofiice all day waiting for some word fron the jury, and whea Sir. McNutt was seen to hurriedly enter the building quite a number followed him in. Mr. McNutt immediately gave his consent to the jury's discharge and he, with the district attorney and the judge, walked into ths court-room and the jurors took their seaa in the j ary box. Judge Woods addressed the jury and sai l be understood that they could not agree. There was a general nod in the affirmative. He then Mied eaca one the same question, and in each instance the reply was to the effect that they could not agree. The judge after expressing his regret that they were unable to agree discharged them from further service. Of the defendants only Simeon Coy aad John K . Ballivaa were present and Mr. McNutt was the only one of their counsel that waa there. Mr. Brown had gone horns and "tx. By num. was at the ball game. As soon as the jury separated, it was learned that there was no agreement on any proposition, except as to the innocence of Eeardon and Counselman. Oa Friday night, shortly after tke jury retired two ballots were taken aa to whether there had been any conspiracy or not. This resulted in teyen nays and live yeas. No other vote was taken until yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, when the cases of the defendants were taken up stperately. Coy's was considered first, and the vote as to his guilt resulted, eight nays and fo r yeas, and this was the vote as to several others of the defendants: Simeon Coy Eight for acquittal; four for conviction. W. F. A. Bernhamer Six for acquittal ; six for conviction. Stephen J. Mattier Nice for acquittal; three for conviction. John E. Sallivan Nine for acquittal; three for conviction. George W. Badd-Eight for acquittal; V fear for conviction. C. N. Metcalf Ten for acquittal; two for conviction. Albert T. Beck Eleven for acquittal; one for conviction. Henry Spaan Eight for acquittal ; four for conviction. HOW THEY AGREED TO DISAGREE. The 'uxors got up bright and early yes

terday mornirg and began balloting on Mr. Coy's case at 5 o'clock. It waj evident from the start that there would be no agreement in hlscase, for although Smoel Nicholson, a Republican, voted for his acquittal, the foreman, Charles W. Anleison, a Oreenbacker, voted guilty. From the time the first ballot was taken it was evident tbat tue Democrats proposed to stand together and they stood united in this determination to the last. Wra. H. Fulvider, of Columbus, wbo was made secretary of tie jury and Willard S. Bowen, of Liporte, did most of the talking on the Dim cratic side. Said one of the juror of Mr. Fulvider: "He is a good man aal a staunch Democratand I never st aj c )nvlncio? a talker on a jury as he proved to be. Mr. I3owen waa aLo well posted and he was reliable. In fact all of the Democrats stood together like a stone wall, exceDt in Binpie instance, that John F. Hunt, of Vermillion County, in the case of Mr. Berafcamer It is understood however that if another ballot had been taken, Mr. Ha at and Mr. Anderson, the Greenbacfcer.wouli have voted for his acquittal. For the Republicans, George W. King, of Bartholomew County, did the talking and it is said be was controlled entirely by party prejudices. He waa the only juror that refused to vote for Mr. Beck's acquittal. Ezra Wood, of Madison, Jefferson County, was also very bitter against some of the defendants, and at one time eald, "I would sooner have my r'ght arm cut off than to go home, if I should vote for the acquittal of all tbese - defendants." He, however, refused to vote for the conviction of Mr. Beck. In the case of Dr. C. X. Metcalf only King and Wood voted for conviction, while all of the Democrats and J. H. Fear, of Tipton, and. Samuel Nicholson, Republicans, and Foreman Anderson, Greenbacker, voted for acquittal. Two ballo'.s were taken in regard to Stepben Mattler. The first resulted eight for acquittal and four for conviction, but after a short discussion as to the testimony against him, Mr.' AnderchaDeed his vote to not guilty, leaving only Messrs. Fear, Wood and King voting for conviction, ibese same jurors were alone in voting guilty in the case of John E. Sullivan, and Mr. Fear waa half inclined to vote for acquittal. The only ballot taken in George W. Ttndd's case, found Mr. Anderson voting with the Democrats for acquittal, while the foar Republicans presented for the tint and only time a solid uront tor con fiction. It is tald that the reason one Democrat went bsck on Mr. Bernhamer on the first taUot was he failed to Introduce any character witnesses. This must have been the cause, as there was no direct testimony produced against him on the trial. "We had the hottest time in considering Mr. Spaan'i case," said a juror. "Toe ltcpubiis&na fought him harder

lt;.a P7 5f rat flefeatoais, Jhtj

teemed determined to get him convicted and offered to vote to acquit nearly everybody else if the Democrats would sacrifice him, but this we would not think of doing. As for me I would have died there first." It seems that Juror King felt very bitter toward Mr. Spaan for some reason ot other, and he said everything possible, and offered to make any sort of concessions as to the others m order to get him convicted. Bat when the 'vote wes taken, Mr. Nicholson voted with the Democrats for acquittal. As to John L. Reordon, there was t unanimous feeling for his acquittal from the Btart, and in the case ot John II. Counzelman, it only took a short talk from Mr. Fulvider to convince every juro that he should also be acquitted, and when a vote waa taken every ballot read, "Not guilty." Only thirteen ballots were taken m all, but it was evident that had there been a hundred every Democrat would have baea as firm as a rock, and there is little probability that there would have been a chang of any kindt HOW THE BKS C LT WAS RECEIVED. It was not many minutes after the jury was discharged until it was generally known in public places, and it at once became the all absorbing topic of the hour. Of course it was conceded everywhere that it was a political fight in the jury box a well as everywhere else, and the remark that "the Democrats had proved themselves loyal and true to principle and right" was made very frequently. There were, of course, a good many Republicans who ex pressed their regret that no one was found guilty, but many of the more liberal of them indorsed the action of the Democrats and some of them went so far as to wish that the Republican jurors had joined them. The defendants were congratulated upon every hand and Mr. Coy was surrounded all the evening by a crowd of ad miring friends, all of whom warmly congratulated him on the result. Captain Eli Kitter was of coarse greatly depressed and chagrined. He de3lrel a wholesale conviction and declared himself confident that there would be at lent four or five of the defendants found aruilty. Bill Henderson has gone to an Eastern watering place fer his health and he probably has not heard the news yet. Sol. Clay pool knows all about it, however, and when he insulted a juror by saying to him upon hearing that he voted to acquit the defendant, "Now you had better go home and not show yourself again" he received this rejoinder: "That is -just what I would have done, sir, if I had voted to convict those innocent men." There is a good deal of speculatioi as to when another trial will be had. Judge Woods says he does not know himself. There la, however, an almost unanimous sentiment, outside the Committee of Oce Hundred, that the cases should b9 promptly nollied, as it is evident that tbere can never be a conviction. District Attorney Sailers, who was feelina; very bine over the! result, left last night for Monticello without saying what course the government will pursue ia this regard. A TKS PICTURE OF THE JCRT BOOM. In"the windows of the jury room where the jury was located, the jurors could be seen sitting in their shirtsleeves. Yester

day afternoon a Sentinel reporter took a bird's eye view of the situation from a window in the Thorpe Block. Juror Stone was occupying one of the windows all by himself, and his expression indicated that his mind was made up Tand ;that he proposed to stand by bis convictions let come what might. In another window was seated jurors May and King. Mr. King seemed to be doing the talking, while Mr. May was shaking his head in the negative. Just a little baca: of -Messrs. May and King and nearer the center of the roam were standing Messrs. Bowen of LtDorte and Anderson of Cass. Bo wen was doing the talking and he evidently was speaking in earnest, for every minute or ttvo he would stop gesticulating long enough to wipe the perspiration from his forehead. In anothei part of tle room Juror Fulwider, of Columbus, and Ezra Wood of Tipton.were conversing apparantly upon a business topic. While they were thus engaged thy were joined by Juror Hunt, of ermlilion, w&o came up smllinj. Juror Nicholson was not Been bat it was supposed that he was laboring with Mr. Dinsmore, who was lying upon a cot. Afterwards when the reporter passed the most of them were seated in the window and either smoking cigars or reading country newspapers. The Jury. John B. May, Warren County Damocrat. Willard 8.

Stock in the Republican Committee of Oce Hundred has greatly depreciated. Jurors Dinsmore, Stone and Fulvider" returned to their homes last night. Hon. C. F. McNutt, Frank Mattier and Hon. Cass By field, of defendants' counsel, were in tbe court-room when the jury was discharged. '6im Coy had a much more honorable looking fare than any ne that I saw connected with the pro'-cution," remarked one of the jurors. "The case bad not been begun an hour," said a juror, -'until I understood the whole thing. It looked like an organized attempt to persecute Democrats." When Herman Everett, the attorney, went into the Federal Court with his client, Wm. Teele, the counterfeiter, he approached Judge Woods and said: "Well, Judge, I read your speech this morning." It is said the Judge's face colored up, and that he made no reply. Everett's client promptly got five years. What effect did Judge Woods' speech have upon the jury?" asked a reporter of one of the jurors. "So far aa tbe Democrats were concerned it had a very poor effect We all could see at once how prejudiced he was and it caused us to stand firmer than if he had given cs a fair charge." There was a spontaneous meeting of Democrats ol the Eighteenth Ward last night Elm Coy, who was at the Bates House was telephoned for and when he entered the door he was taken in the arms ot admiring friends, who carried him on the chairman's table from which he made a rousing speech. Oce of the most prominent Democrats In the State said yesterday: "If I were on my death-bed and had the word of Coy and Sullivan that my wife and children should never suffer for tbe necessaries of life, I would die believing that their future comfort would be better cared for than If I had a like promise from the whole of the Republican Committee of One Hundred." A good many people hereabout will agree with this sentiment

OVER THE CATSKILLS. The Kock Upon Which Rip Van Winkle Slept A Blonntalneer'e Xasratlve of IrTlngs Famous Legend That great famMy ot mountains called the Alleghanie f-f'nahome 100 miles wide and 1,300 long. treacb.es from the eastern valley of bi" Lawrence river to the north line of Alabama. It is composed of a series of lofty land waves with now and then a billow tossed into mountain peaks. The Catskills are one county of tfcU grant evolution of rocks and fire. They stand ten or twelve miles from the Hudson river, these toy Alps of the Alleghanie?, for they are distinguished from the greater part of the mighty range to which tivy belong by their 8wis-like peaks and dizzy cliftj It was for a while thought that thesa mountains contained large measures of coal, but this was found to be a mistake, and they became a gold mine filled with precious metel for the intellect and the heart, spangled with dreams and legends, interspersed with natural landscape gardens and rich with observatories, front which can be seen the emerald jewelry of several different states. As our Hudson river craft came yesterday. In sightof the blue ranges'that smiled at 'US a few miles In the distance it was evident that there was trouble ia the Catskills. The ghosts of the Dutch tenpinJ layers who walk thronga every visitor's onry were having one of their most brilliant games and making a ten-stxike every halt minute. The tops of the wou.it at us were bei g tomcarded i shits of. tira Fleet afttr fleet of bla- flagijidtaanderclouds came tailing towaru rn oat of the western country. A wall of white fell ia a ue;ond between us and tbe mystery land for which we were bound. When wa landed at Catskill it was in a firing Nka of showers, and we were glai that the old stage line of twelve miles and a few years ago had bean presented to the past and a new stage line established, composed of glistening iron steels and comfortable railroad coaches. Sifi and dry and peering between gems ot raindrops upon the car windows, we rumbled through and out of tha modern village of Churchill. We passed in the distance the little Dutch hamlet of Leeds, which Young America called "ancient," because it is 200 years old. We left upoa our right a manor home tbat is haunted bv a ghost with a halter about his neck. Wa caugbt a glimpse of Catskill Creek, sifting its liquid silver down over tbe rocks, and at last halted at a wayaide railroad depot and found horse coaches waiting to climb with us four miles and a half up the mountain. Here is a toll-gate for perpendicular turnpikes are not a product of nature, and it costs money to build them. The old valley mountaineer who guards tli9 pasi takes 35 cents from the driver ot a team and 5 cents from any passenger who may have use for a few pods well fi'lei with peanut kernels. He is. also, he says. "Goln' to put in a fdW soft drinks tor theai that wants 'em this summer." He is as gray as one of the mountain racks, and, I suppose, as abstemious, for he claims to be a life-long foe to tbe liquid that drugged and Immortalized tbe famous Van Winkle. Having passed safely through tbis portal, our ccaca horses began their weary climb. A mile and a half up the road we came to a frame building two and a half stones tall. By the side of it was a little hut of a saloon. "What is thia? ' we asked of tbe driver. "Rip House," said the driver, preparing to give the eager colonel a drink. 'Tlace where It' p Van Winkle slept for twenty years. You'll see the rock he slep' on jest up back o' the house thar." The proprietor of the establishment now carce to the door and looked so full of information concerning the affair that I am not ashamed to say that I went down the next morning on purpose to ask about it He is a dark man, with large, strong mustache, and a deep, convincing voice. He was alread 7 engaged in conversation with a ead-looking man from New Jersey, and I had nothing to do but Bip a 15-cent glass of lemonade and listen. "Yer see," the proprietor was saying, "this Van Winkle used to live down here to Catskill. He was considerable on the hunt, an' he come up that valley d wa there one day an met a lot o' Dutch fairies' with whisky kegs, an offered to help 'em bein' of a kind disposition to everybody but his own folks an' they gave him a drink, an' he dim up on to thas rock au' slep' there twenty years in one nap. 'Fjr he turned in he hitched bis dorg to that tree thar. An' the tree it growed, an' it growed, aa' when he woke up there was nothin' left o' the dorg but a bunch o' bones an' a striog. An' there's the bone now." Tbere were certainly sooie bjnes hanging to the branches of a tree, soaae ten or fifteen feet high, where no one could reach them." "But excuse me, sir," said the sai looking man from New lertey, drarinj; an opera-glass from his pocket, bnt I a n a butcher, sir, and those look very much like beef bones to me."

"Maybe you know more about it than the history does," said the proprietor, testily, "I tells just as it s told to me. 11 you can Improve on it, why go ahead, that's ail." The sad looking man improved on it by buying a cigar, and thea said to the molifled Boniface: "I am a little puzzled over a statement that I have found in this new said book which is to the effect that Mr. Van Winkle took his leep in another valley clow netr here." Andhe showed him the paragraph. This seemed to be the first time that the keeper of Rip's we!l-ventilated bed-rooja had heard his claims disputed. His eyes Hashed, but he controlled himself will, and laughed satirically. He promptly and herol 2 Hy cut tie Gordian not "That statement's a lie on the face of it," he declared; "for when ye zome right do jva to a lice p'lnt, he didn't Bleep nowhar; he step' here jus' as much as any place, an' I wouldn't wonder If a little more." - The rock, which is said to have formed poor old Rip's bedstead, is a -saug little climb from the road. It is about the length of a comfortable couch, and hundreds of people are said to take a drink and then lie down and see if it makes them drowsy. One nice old lady discovered a alight depression and pointed it oat as probably made by bis head lying there so long. A sober-faced, thoughtful locking citizen engaged in distributing equitably some gravel tbat had been dumped upon the roadway did not believo the story at all. "He never could lay there twenty years without no shelter nor nothin' over him," said the citizen. "Tain' t reason' ble. The snow would smudder bim. The wild cats would nibble his cars. The bears would mske a meal out on him. I've heern this story far some time goln rouo,' and I've concluded that it's jes' a yarn started by some theater fellows to make money out on. They're a-actin' on it out new, down to Catskill, In a theater there. It's nothin' but a made up yarn." I told him that I had heard that man named Irving started the report "Wall, I don't know anybody o' that name'roun' here," he replied, scraping tbe gravel viciously ; "bat whoever 'twas, he might have been In better business." The Catskill Mountain House, where the Colonel and his fellow steed finally landed as, is a veteran of ho&telries, having looked off this shore of a precipice into ths valley gulf below for over sixty years. From tuch a plan as this we gaze, and know the reason that the Indians, whose imagination crept into many of their names, called tbe Catskills "The Mountain; of tbe Sky." It is like looking from tbat chariot ot the air, a balloon ; a leaf of G jd'a great atlas lies before you. The mighty chfl becomes your guide and leads you by yourejei 2,000 feet to the valley below, then naif a score ot mues, over many a farmer's land, through many a spire crowned village, 'till it shows you

the silver-gl earning Hudson. It takes you sailing up and down that famous stream for sixty miles: it leads you over to the east bank and far inland; It takes you 03 a tour through several different states; and all this time you have not moved a step from the brink of the American river. We walk two miles, past twa beautifal lakes, and come to the famous falls of the Catekill. Nature and mechanics are here in partnership. As the stream runs out of the lakes toward tbe chßs where it ia to perform its great jumping act it is held back by the construction of a dam, and told to wait until somebody comes to look at it When the visitor arrives he is invited to register his came and deposit twenty-five cents to the credit of the eaterptue. Then he is admitted through a little wicker gate, and allowed to climb down down down any number of rickety step?, until be is at last in fall view of tbe cliffs over which the water is to make its leap. Whea he is at last comfortably seated, and read 7 for the exhibit on, tbe old miller of silver grists at the top of the cliff turns a small windlass crank which hoists the gates and the flood comes tearing down long enouzh for you to witness it and issue the proper number of admiring exclamation points.

Then the old miller lowers the gates, lights nia pipe, and muses nntil yoar return upon the folly of the human race. To a question as to whether he thought his peculiar methods of exhibition migbt be introduced at Niagara, he replied that he wasn't quite certain 'bout that; he never'a be'ea outNiag're way. When asked, with such breath as one has on hand after getting back to him, as to how many times he has witnessed these falls which he man a Galatea, be replies, wearily, that he was down tbere about thirty-six years ago, and hat n't cared to go since.

JOE MACKIN INTERVIEWED.

lie Telle a Little Story to av Reporter In Ilia Cell at Jollet Penitentiary. fChicago Herald. "The Fourth of July is our free-love sathering day here. The prisoners all gatner in tbe yard and shake hands and make love to each other. This demonstration of affection or friendship continue! from 9 till 11 o'clock. When it came round this year I requested to spend tue two hours in my cell. It wa3 granted. Now, my reason for the action was that I waa afraid my pare Democracy migut b tarnished by associating with a number of Republican reformers we have here. and 1 knew they would be particularly enthusiastic on ths Fourth," aad here ll8ckln laughed heartily. "Yes, we have some of Chicago's big reformers here, such as CoL Bolton, late of the postolice. Now, lest you think me exulting over poorLolton, let me explain: Vhen my case was in progress in the United States at Chicago, I was in tbe habit of assisting Judge Turpie, who was an invalid, into and from the court-room in the Government Building. Oae day, as we were going out of the building on the 'Adams street side, we passed Col. Bjltoa in company with half a dozen Grand Army men. He said: 'There comes Mackln. We'll send him dowa the road right enough, but it's a great shame that it cots the country so mnch to get such a man into the penitentiary.' "One of my ears was wide open and I heard this. I asied Judge Turpie to excuse me for a mo i ent, and turned around . d tola my brave Bolton that Joseph C. Matkm was not a thief; that Bolton was a barnacle bucking his living oat of tbe govKrnmfLt: tbat he was a thief, and would in due time rtach tbe penitentiary. See how true my prediction has come. And thst very moment, when he had the gall tne hypocrite! to malign me, practically to my face, he was stealing from the government. This is a sample of some of yonr patriots. And when they had convicted him it brought tears to Judge Blodgett's eyes to eive him two years in the penitentiary. His long and va! lable services were considered; his family claims were counted, and his three or four year of constant, hypocritical systematic stealings were forgotten. It paioed the Jadg to enforce the law upon a thief, but, in my cae, and I never was a thief, never broke an obligation, never betrayed a trust, he took pleasure in railroading me to conviction. "Ob. the thought of some of these 'people is a heavy tax upon my patience. There are people in Chicago passing as reformers with whom II would ryjt change a lead dollar for a good one. Ilypocrisy is not strong enough to express it. Contrast or compare my case with that of Bolton. Judge Blodgett 1 id not Bay of nim, 'He has been systematically stealing for three years.' No, but he said, 'Eminent maa,1 'brave soldier, 'distressed family. The worst that could be made of my case was a political offense. They will never fiod Joseph C. Mac kin inthe penitentiary for Btealing." A Brave Man Shrinks IXew York Mercury.l "How's this, John? You said you Intended to propose to Miss Gushiogtn this evening and here you are back befo'e U o'c ock. Sne 6urely didn't refuse you?" "No-o, I didn't propose. I concluded to postpone the question." "Now, tee here, John, if you. don't get that girl it's your own fault. Tae idea of beißg such a coward. You, who hv beavely walked up to the cannon's month."
