Last evning two juries were out at
the same time. The first, on the case of
John F. Polk vs. Vancourt and Milchcr,
was charged the first thing yesterday
morning, and as was stated last evening,
one of the jurymen, M. Harris was taken
sick in the forenoon and remained so all
day. At nine o'clock last evening Judge
Applegate called them out and on ques
tioning the jury found they stood the
same as they had all day nine to three
in favor of defendant and they seemed
to think they' couldn't agree. Principally
on account of Mr. Harris illness the judge
dismissed the jury, which probably saved
them from an all night session. The
second jury was on the case of B. fc M.
R. R. vs. Caps county. They went out
about 8:30 last evening and agreed in
about an hour, in favor of defendant.
Tho object of the case was to have taxes
of several years refunded, on the ground
that their bridge and tracks here were
not taxable.

Frozen in Midsummer.
In spetfking of the large number of deaths
of English sparrows during the late rain
storms, Professor Otto Lugger, of Baltimore,
says that, instead of having been dashed to
death, he believed they bad been frozen in
midsummer. One day lost week bo counted
forty sparrow lying stiff and cold within a
distance of three squares. He carried eight
home, examined all of them and found no
bones broken. Four of them he warmed and
they revived. Tb.9 other four never again
showed signs of life. Professor Lugger gave
the following explanation of the apparent
lifelessness, after the storm, of the birds.
.most of which were young onqe: In migrating
birds Ily against the wind, (should the wind
suddenly change and blow in the same direc
tion as the birds are flying, and at a greater
rate of speed, the birds' feathers are blown
forward, the skin is exposed, and a cold driv
ing rain will soon chill the birds and cause
their death. In this way, strange as it may
seem, the birds may be said to have been
frozen in midsummer. Boston Transcript

A Shabby Sort of Kntorprlse.
Now York city is tho recognized headquar
ters in this country of every description of
scheming for the acquisition of wealth with
out labor. An attorney, whose placo of busi
ness is in Aldrich court, remarked: "Among
the novel projects for making monoy which
I havo como ucross recently is that of specu
lating in tho franchios of interior towns and
cities for public improvements. Thus two or
three men in New York will make a raid on
some town to obtain a street car franchise,
representing themselves backed by lnunense.
capital, which is only waiting an opportunity
of investment in street car lines. On secur
ing a franchise from tho town by such repre
sentations they will coino back to Now York
and peddle it out for $500 or $1,000 or what
ever they can get for it. Tho result usually
is that the town gets a street car line with a
thirty pound T rail built on cross ties, and
cheap cars, which look very well when freshly
painted. The whole thing is sold out in a
Lurry and some one gets left, while the town
itself has a miserable street car line on its
hand 3.
"Tho same process is being carried on in
reference to water works, gas works, electric
lighting f ystems and similar public improve
ments. There are scores of men in Isew York
who make a living in jnxi, such shabby enter
prises. There is no vay to head thorn olf ex

"I was or.co coachman for the duke of -

you serve 'hia lordship,' and when 'his lord

at liberty to use them. Here it is different.
The lady is the one to be considered. For in

many, but the moat important of all will be
in consulting and obeying implicity tho
