Brings Verdict Of Disagreement

AFTER BEING OUT UNTIL 11 O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT A SPLENDID 'JURY Slaughter House Case Ends Unless a New Trial is Had No Costs Paid. The famous slaughter house case came to a end last evening at 11 o'clock, the jury having been out since 10 o'clock in the morning. At that late hour the foreman of the jury brought in a verdict that the jury had disagreed. The jury stood on the first ballot, seven for conviction and five for acquittal On the second ballot one of the seven changed his vote, and the ballot stood four o eight. Ballot after ballot was taken and each one resulted the same. One of the jurymen said to the Palladium: "It was the best jury I ever sat with. It was composed of good solid men, and if we had balloted until doomsday the result would have been the same. There was not a clash among the jurymen, not even a hitch of any kind, but every man voted as he felt it was his duty to vote' The slaughter house question is one that has been up for consideration for a long time. It has been a difficult matter to keep the slaughter houses from smellng, especially during the hot weather, and no matter how careful the owners are there will be a certain amount of bad odor. There is an effort being made to scientifically do away with tbis. The Palladium is informed' that Mr. Stotle is installing a plant to cost in the neighborhood of $5,000 that will be perfectly odorless, guaranteed so by the manufacturers. A j-ear's trial is given and if it doesn't prove successful in that time no money will be required. If this is accomplished it will do away with the necessity of litigation, bad odors and worse feelings between the slaughter house owners and the people who reside in the vicinity of the slaughter houses. The verdict of the jury ends the case unless a new trial is brought up. The costs of the present trial were considerable, being in the neighborhood of $200 But the peculiar part about it all is that nobody will get any pay. The statute provides that in a trial before a justice of the peace in case of acquittal or disagreement no costs are to be paid. So in this case the judge and the jury go without fees and the $200 will have to be "charged on a cake of ice and put out in the sunshine. WILL DOWIffi'S FORMER RICHMOND MAN LOOKS AFTER EMPLOYES VANDASIA'S GENEROSITY To Its Employes Four Excursions to the St. Louis World's Fair for Employes. The. Vandalia railroad, always recognized as being in the foreground in every progressive movement, has just taken a step that is a decided novelty. The company- is the first and so far the only railroad in the United States to announce its decision to run special free coach excursions for its employes to the World's Fair. The circular to that effect has just been

NEW

ORDES

issued by a former Richmond boy, Mr. "Will C. Downing, who is superintendent. The Vandalia eompany has always maintained the best possible relations with its employes and never have these relations been more pleasant than they are today under the present corps of officers. Supt. Downing 's Statement. In discussing the company's offer Superintendent Downing said today: "These four excursions will be for employes and their families strictly. The trains will not stop at the St. Louis union station but will go direct to the World's Fair grounds, stopping right at the gates, so that the only expense involved to the employes and their families will be for admission and whatever else they care to spend in the grounds. This move, of -course, costs the company some money, but the Vandalia officials look on this fair as a great educational exhibition and the effect it will have on our employes fro mthe standpoint of broadening their knowledge is desirable from every point of view. The

j excursions wil be run as sections of jNo. 25, which leaves here at 2:25 a. jin. The company's offer takes in its employes on the main line, the Peoria . division . and the Logansport divi sion.

THEIR

ENGINES

NEW ORDER GONE OUT BY THE PENNSYLVANIA SERVICES OF HOSTLERS Done Away With and Engneers and Firemen Are Now to Do the Work. Railroad trainmen were a little disturbed over the aannouncement made at the offices of the Pennsylvania company that hereafter the crews of regular runs would take care of their own engines and that they would be held accountable for the same. This means that the engineer and fireman must do the work which has heretofore been done by the hostlers in the roundhouse working force. The railroad people claim that this is done to have better care taken of the rolling stock, and that the engineer and fireman will take better care of their own engines than will any one else. It will also reduce operating expenses.

Hook, of Union Citv. with Mrs. Hook and his sister, Mrs. W. B. Sylvester, of Kansas City, are guests at the Westcott hotel. Mr. Hook was connected with his brother for many years at Union City in the manufacture of butter tubs. At this

Mass Meeting Of Citizens

business the Hook Bros, were very successful, and have now retired from active business. Mr. Hook is vice president of the Commercial National Bank of Union City and a director in the Creamery Package Manufacturing company of Chicago. He owns some choice farms in Randolph and Darke counties and is engaged in both agriculture and stock raising but the work is done mostly by proxy. Mr. Hook is an ardent Republican and predicts the election of Roosevelt by an overwhelming majority. lift says that many of the gold Democrats will support Roosevelt as they did MeKinley and the real 16 to 1 Democrats will be divided among other parties, many of them going to the Populists. Mr. Hook is also a Presbyterian and is now assisting in the eontsruction of a new church at Union City. He takes great interest in church matters and is a generous contributor to all kinds of church work. He is also interested in education and was a member of the Union City school board for many years. Increasing in West. "While the Pennsylvania lines are reducing the hours of their hands east of Pittsburg, at western shops they are increasing them and working full time, fifty-five hours per week. i METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT GETS NOTHING GOES TO GENERAL FUND Disposition of the One Hundred Dollars Just Earned by Officer Edwards. It is not generallv known, but it is none the less a fact that the money earned by the police department in va rious sources, such as rewards for capture, etc., goes into the general fund of the city. All the police department gets out of it is the glory of staying up all night watching for fugitives from justice and when they make a good capture turn the reward over to the city to pay for street improvements and sewers, etc. That is what became of the money just earned by Officer Edwards in the capture of Redmond and Rickers. Officer Krone was given $100 when he returned the fugitives to Dayton. This does not look right. The officers are continually on the watch for law-breakers, and it would seem but just as if the "rewards" so often given were at least left with the department of which they are faithful and vigilant members. Richmond has a splendid lot of officers and they have made some good catches -and it would seem only fair that the money should be turned into this department It could be used as a fund for catch ing criminals, or it could go for other purposes that would in any way benefit the metropolitan police. WO COUPLES Clash on South .Tenth . Street One Fellow Badly Cut. If you observe some fellow, going along whose face looks like a new addition to a city, you may know he was in a mix up on south tenth. Last night a man and wife and a single cou pie got into an altercation on south tenth street The single fellow hit the married man a blow that felled him to the ground, besides making his face look like the map of Indiana all cut up in patches.

Another matter of importance to the west side people is the propped undergrade crossing at West Second street and Panhandle railroad. Money has been paid in for this improvement and the meeting took the matter up for consideration. Fourth grade children have been transferred from the Fairview school to the Baxter school, and in order to get from Fairview to the Baxter school the children have to cross the tracks with a hill on both sides. It is dangerous for the children. Several persons at the meeting expressed themselves in terms not to be misunderstood. One speaker said: "We have $250,000 assessment valuation over here, one sewer on Sheridan street, a few electric lamp, no protection from fire and no police protection. All we are expected to do is to pay our taxes and keep quiet." As stated above, the following committee was appointed to consider the matter and report at a meeting tonight: John P. Evans.
