Ilrcnch of I'romlso Cnso Varies tlio Monototi). Judge Archibald li enjoylnc the ex perience that occasionally comes to n jutlKc of having a Jurv refuse or at leat hesitate In a mcanliiRful tnati jier to follow the Instructions of the court as If) the renderlnu of a verdict. It Is In the case of M. O. AVobster apalnt P. J. Wldmuyer in which the plalntlfl fcttes to reco cr J7.O0O worth of bonds of the Eacknuannn Stone com pany which ho nlleges Sir. Wldmnycr who wxt president of the company, aicod to kIvo In na compensation for his Inlet est In the Scmnton Stono comrany which wni swallowed up by the Lackawanna Stono company. The defense whs that Webster refused to five up his stock In the old company n per agreement. The plaintiff denies that It was undcrbtuod that he should give up the stock. The cae has been on trial since Mon dav and at 2 o'clock josterday nftet upon was submitted to the Jury. Judfrc Aielilnhl in his eliarse virtually di rected a verdict for tlio plaintiff. He told th jurors that there wete only two questions to be settled nnd In dicated to them bow they bliould be i;ulded In urrlvinsr .it n settlement of these iiU"ttiois. The linn question, lie aid, was whether or not Webster had fulfilled his p.ttt of the contract. In cotmnenMwr on this the Judge said th'at there wns no evidence to show that he had rot, while theie was an abund ance of evidence to the effect that he had. The second question to be pass ed upon, the court stated, was: "What wns the value of the bonds at the time Whlinnver rteed to deliver them? The defendant himself, Jtidse Aich bnlrt averied, had stilted on the stand that the bonds were worth par. He would therefore be entitled to $7,000, court indicated. As to whether or not Sir. 'WIdmayer was individually re sponsible was a question of law, the judge stated, and the verdict would be conditional upon Ms decision of thlb reserved point. SKHUUTON VKUDICT. The skeleton verdict which the jury was suppesed to till out read as fol lows: "We find in favor or the plaintiff in the sum of , subject to the question of law, which Is reset ved, whether there is eny evidence in the case on which the defendant can be held individually; also subject to the legal questions involved in the defend ant's points." At 3.45 o'clock when the Jury had not yet returned it was evident that there was something askew and thinking1 to straighten out the dl!llculty Judge Arehbald sent word to tlio jury that if they wanted further Instructions they might come In and he vvouli bo pleased to help them out. The Jury came in and in l espouse to Judge Archibald's "What Is the difficul ty, gentlemen?' their foreman stat ed In substance that seme of the :uroM weie In doubt as to whether or not Webster, the plaintiff, had done his full duty accoi cling to the contract. ' What, ou mean, ns I take It." said Judge Arehbald, 'is that you are not satisfied but that Webster should have done something elbe besides what is stipulated in the contract; that he might have don" more In all fairness"" "That is about It, your Honor." "Well, you have nolhlni? to do with anything outside of the ease. It is not contradicted that Webster fulfilled his p.ut of the contract, and your task therefore ceenis to inn to bo a slmpl" one. With these additional instruc tions I hope jou will airhe at a piompi vol diet." Hut couit hoped In vain. Three quarters of n-i hour passed, adjourn ment was nbout to be made and the juiy was still unheard fiom. JudgH Arehbald called Tipstaff Hit ter who had chanre of tlio Jury and told him that he wai not to allow the juiy tu seal a verdict and separate. They would hive to agree before coutt adjourned or stay together over the Thanksgiving lecess and make their icpnit Fiidny morning. Messis Hums and JIaitln. attorneys for the defense, objected to any such message being sent to the Jury room. Judge Are!ibld said It waa not meant as u message to the Jury. It was sim ply instructions to the tipstaff nnd he would bo called upon to put the in structions Into execution In case the juiy dining the nlBht should agree and want to so home. The tipstaff would n that event refuse to allow them to depart. A Jury, the court ex plnlned, can not seal a vet diet except bv special pei mission of court. Am this was to be a conditional verdict lie wanted to see It befoie the Jurv would separate so that In case It should not meet requirements he could send them back to revise it. NIGHT SESSION ORDERED. That no undue hardship mlcht be indicted on the jurors, Judge Arehbald declared a nljrht session and ordered that In case no agreement was reached before adjournment, a privy verdict would be taken In chambers at any time todav that the jurv had framed Its report. At 9 o'clock last night the jury was still deliberating and Judge Arehbald adjourned court until 0 o'clock Friday morning.

History of the Day We Celebrate Prom tho Washington Star. When, In tlio ycNir of grace 1C30, sturdy Governor John Wlnthrop und tho Puritan colonists of Masaichuetts proclaimed and duly observed a "Public thanksgiv ing," thy probably had little Idea of tho Itnportuuco whu.li that festival was ded tlned to obtain hi the hKtory of Amcrlcn, Tho Hut Thanksgiving dilfurul very ma terially from Its 8Ucci-M40.'8, In that it wns procl'Umcd us a fast und not M a fiast. Supplies had run shoit, tha ships i vpocted from England were delayed, an 1 extinction threatened tho "sovernor and company of Massachusetts bay in New England." Wlnthrop and his council lc eidid to hold a day of pravor and abstin ence, "so that ve Lorde bo propitiated and look upon Ills servants with favor In that they have tumbled themselves be. foio Him." Accordingly n ciler won sent about the primitive settlement of Chui Its town, and the colonists welo each and all invited to take part In tho fast. Their K.urllli'e met with speedy rew.aid Smi-, c 1 had the noon hour of the allotted day arrive! wheat, tho long-hope d-for ship made Its welcome appearance In M.issi ehuetts bny, the cargo was landed olid the fast was succeeded by a banquet of a sort which must have seemed sumptuous Indeed to tho exiles so recently plunged In hunger and hauls), Ip. On the thres l'old of dreaded winter, Wlnthrop and lis Inllowers f oi-ml what bad been u prospu:t of fear and pel II chnnged Into one of hap piness nnd hope. Sech was Amenta s llrst Tliai.ktglvir.g, as celebrated "CO .eois ago. Thereafter each succeeding November was market In the nnnal4 of tho colony by a similar foatlvul of grati tude. o Hut Thanksgiving in the eaily days ot our history was not conllned to the New England pioneers alone. Just llfteen yeais after Wlnthrop's proclamation, I. e , In I'll), Governor Kleft of tho Dutch colony, then known as Nleuw Am"terd.im, but new us Now York, ordered the observance of a day of rejoicing and thank, "for tho rest and peace which God had been pleased to bestow upon His sernnts." Thus we sec that the least of Thanksgiv ing Is not, ns generally supposed, a pe culiarly Puiltau Institution, but Is equally derived from the stulwait burghers of Manhattan Island. The next notable Thanksgiving day in history fell in 17M. On that date the Hrltlsh and colonial army, numbering SO.tnjO men, and com manded by General Porbcis, attacked and captured from the Pr tich, nfter n llerco struggle, Port Duiuene, nt the Junction of tho Allegheny and Monongaheta, rivers The naino oi the place was changed to Port Pitt, and was tho nucleus of tho city of Pittsburg. Thus In a special sense the history of the grent capital of the coal and iron Industries Is connected with the celebration of Thanksgiving day. At the timo that the Iiritlsh were conducting Pott Duaucsnc, Whllelleld, the famous Methodist prcaehei, called upon all his adherents in London to Join a "service of praie nnd thanksgiving for the victories of the English arms on land nnd sea. Tnls 1'rltlsh Thnnksglving was, we aro told, widely otcrvid, and awakened n tt use enthusiasm, not enly among .he .Mi thodlsts, but throughout all the dif ferent sects. Whltelleld's idea was after vvuid on several occasions revived in England. Por Instance, in 1SU the gov ernment proclaimed a general thanksgiv ing for the vlctoiy of Waterloo. Aaln, two j ears later, In 1313, proclamation was mad"' of a popular thanksgiving for the ic.storation of peace. After the Cilmoati wnr a tlilid Jubilation of this nature took place. -o Hut meanwhile In Now England, what had been begun as an occasional day of pious lejolcing had assumed the propor tions of a tixi d national holiday. In Mas sachusetts and New Hampshire 't was es pecially popular. There was at llrst Kicat latitude In reAaid to the day select ed for tho feast. Governors proclaimed the chosen date arbitrarily, and no effort was nude to keep the anniversary of Wlnthrop's proclamation. Sometimes Thankglvlug oecuned In July, sometimes In midwinter. At length, through tho ef forts of the piesldcnt and prolessors of lluivaid college, it was piactically llcd upon the last Thursday In November. The college faculty were moved to inter est themselves In the qutstlon by the fact that tho uneeitnlnty regarding the date caused considerable disorder among their pupils Uovs fiom different states celebrated on different days, mnny of them lcturning homo to eat the Thanks giving meal under their own rooftiess This very i .. Kslrablc state of affairs could only be put a stop to, said tho grave llarvat ! dons, P the formal es tnblsliment of a uniform date for tho feast. The last Tl ursdny of the eleventh month suited tho collegians, and, Influ ence being brought to bear upon the col onial governors of New England, procla mations were Issued muklng tliut day tho icgular Thanksgiving. In the sot. Hi Thankf-glving, as an un nual lestlvnl, tem.nkel practically un known i r.tll, in 1!m3, the cuilous Vir ginian controveisy on the subject was precipitated. This controversy, which Is not generally krovvn, deserves a bilcf no tice. The governor of Virginia nt iho tlmo was ono Johns, a parotic and broad-minded gentleman, whu had al was entertained ,a leveieneo for tho Puiltan ani.lveis.ary which was by no means common below Mason nnd Dixon's line. Gov 1 1 nor Johns, In a letter to the stato Irglslntiie, urgently recommended the recognition of Thanksgiving in Vir ginia, and offered, in caso his recommen. datlon proved satisfactory, to nt on?e Issue a proclamation. Hut the leglslaluie of Washington's stato did not look upon the Now Englatnl holiday with favor. Governor Johns was advised not to make tho Thanksgiving proclamation, and, as he did not do so, tho matter wns allowed temporarily to drop. Hut public Interest had bien awakened, and before long a flirro clcbati w is laglng In Vliglnia be tween the opponents and supporters of tho proposed southern Thankssivlni,.
