In an interview Mrs. Culver said: "Mr. Culver is very determined. If ho thought he was right, he would bo burned at the stake before he would give in. If they atr tempt to browbeat him or to use rough language to him, ho will simply get off in one corner n i be more determined than ever." This expresses the general sentiment in Evanston, where Culver lives, and where most people consider him obstinate, strongheaded and the very opposite of a model juror. SHAW'S ALLEGED DISHONESTY.

It stands just where it was on the first ballot on Friday night— 11 to 1 in favor of convicting all tho defendants. The recalcitrant juror, John Culver, who would not have a word to say to his associates Saturday, unbended far enough Sunday to discuss some portions of tho evidence, but no ballot was taken. Judge HcConnell came in from his .residence at Lake View at 4 o'clock and waited until 0, when receiving no word from the jury room he declared tho court adjourned until 10 o'clock today. Groups of people hung around the three sides of the criminal court building throughout the day and evening and indulged in somo strong talk concerning Culver, threats of lynching in case ho huug the jury being freely made. Out in the aristocratic suburb of Evanston, where he resides, the excitement was intonso during the day. The churches had less than their usual complement of worshippers, and the suburbanites gathered in groups on the street or visited at each other's houses to denounce the peculiar actions of their neighbor. Hackensack, N. J., Dec. 18.—A locomotive and twenty-three coal cars went through the drawbridge on the Susquehanna railroad at Little Ferry. Three men were drowned. They were William Nixon, engineer; Patrick Harrington, fireman, and William Seeley, brakeman. All three were riding on tho engine at the time the train went through the bridge. It is believed that Nixon failed to see the danger signal on account of the snow storm. In the Ship. Chioaqo, Deo. 16—The rumor printed in a morning paper hero to the effect tbat the jury had agreed late Sunday night oa a verdict of guilty was wholly unfounded. When court oonvened this morning at ten o'clock the jury had not come to any agreement. No official news has been received bat it is still believed that the disagreement was due to the obstinacy of one man in refusing to cot sent to capital punishment. Judge MeConneil wailed until shortly before twelve for some communication from the jury room, and as none came, decided to adjourn court until 3 p. m., eastern time. Dolls (drefsed and undressed), Capernaum, Dec. 15.—The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D.

He said: Her.e in this seashore village was the temporary home of that Christ who for the most of his life was homeless. On the site of this village, now in ruins, and all around this lake, what scenes of kindness and power, and glory and pathos when our Lord lived here! It has been the wish of my life—I cannot say the hope, for I nover expected the privilege— to stand on the banks of Galilee. What a solemnity and what a rapture to be here I I can now understand the feeling of the immortal Scotchman, Robert McCheyne, when Bitting on tho banks of this lake he wrote: Catawba Grapes Reported Conviction of All. all S Z9S. This morning's Herald says: "The jurors in the Cronin case have at last come to an agreement. They are now a unit for the conviction of the five prisoners, but the punishment has not yet been assessed. A verdict may be expected today." After residing at Towanda for many years, Shaw moved to Plainfield, N. J. It la said that shortly after his arrival therj he failed, with liabilities amounting to nearly $000,000. Among his principal cred itors were the First National Bank of Wellsboro, Pa., for $82,000, and Pomcroy Br a., of the same town, for $T,000. The bank officers and the Pomeroys, being convinced that Shaw's transactions were not of a thoroughly business like nature, filed affidavits to that effect, upon which an indictment was found against him by the grand jury of Tioga county, charging him with obtaining large sums of money on false pre teaser.

Work Cases New York, Dec. 10.—A special to the Herald from Chicago says: "That things have not been going on very smoothly in the Cronin jury room is mado certain by the fact that a fight took place there to night in which Culver, the recalcitrant juror, was knocked down by a fellow jurer.

He attributes his damages to the ferocity of one Charles Callahan, for whoso arrest a warrant has been issued. O'Toole states that ho is a brakeman on the Pennsylvania road, and boarded with Mrs. Callahan at Gunpowder Neck until a week ago. He fell in love with the daughter, Kitty, and they were to have been married. A week ago he incurred the displeasure of Charlie Callahan, Kitty's brother, for refusing to loan him $50. Last night O'Toole went to Callahans to make final arrangements for his marriage with Kitty. Charlie drove him away with a gun. O'Toole went to Callahans again. Charlie met him at the door and shot at him with a revolver. Callahan contiuued to shoot and sombody threw boiling water on him and kicked him in the head.

Very Urge varitty of desirable Salad Dressing. AH sorts of rumors concerning the motive for Culver's position are current, and it is broadly insinuated in more than one of the morning papers that he has been ' 'fixed" in a financial sense. Culver is a strict church member and a rabid prohibitionist, and put in all his spare time during the trial both in the court room and at the hotel in reading the New Testament, a copy of which iie always carried with him. Just as he was leaving the court room on Friday afternoon, his wife, through the negligence of the bailiffs, managed to reach his side aud the two indulged in a whispered conversation lasting two or three minutes. Has Culver Keen "Fixed?" After Buttfield had his suspicions aroused, he determined to find out all ho could about Shaw. With that in view, he engaged the services of New York detectives, who trr.ccd Shaw to Washington, D. C. I can now easily understand from the contour of the country that bounds this lake that storms were easily tempted to make these waters their playground. From the gentle way this lake treated our boat when we sailed on it yesterday, one would have thought it incapable of a paroxysm of rage, but it was quite different on both the occasions spoken of in my two texts. I close my eyes and the shore of Lake Galilee, as it now is, with but little signs of human life, disappears, and thero comes back to my vision the lake as it was in Christ's time. It lay in a scene of great luxuriance; the surrounding hills, terraced, sloped, grooved, so many hanging gardens of beauty.

Toronto, Out., Dec. 10—William O'Connor, champion sculler of America, has deposited $500 with The Empire Newspaper Printing company to make good a challenge to row any man in the world a race for the champiouship and $2,500 a side. Tho challenge is to remain open three months, and tho race to be rowed three months or less, as may be agreed upon from date of acceptance. O'Connor makes special mention of Teenier and Stansbury, and gives notice that no man can legitimately claim the title of championship until he has met and defeated him. The friends of Shaw were astounded upon hearing of his arrest, as he had always been looked on as an eminently respectable citizen. His interest in religious matters inspired confidence. He had not been in Washington a week before he formed the acquaintance of the Rev. Dr. Steele, the pastor of St. Mark's Episcopal church. Mi*.

The Furness Line to Move. A Successful Dentist. Baltimore, Dec. 16.—The Furness line of steamers, one of the most important lines plying between Baltimore and Europe, will, by force of cireumstances, transfer their business from here to Newport News, Va., and thus divert no inconsiderable amount of western commerce, grain shipments in particular, to the latter port. The cause of the changv lies in the fact that the piers used by the Furness line were leased by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company to the Donaldson line, whose steamers were until recently consigned to the Furness. The two companies' interests have become separated by the Donaldson passing into new hands, one result of which is the deprivation of dock accommodations for the Furness people. The Baltimore and Ohio has notified the Furness people that it would not quote their rates in the west nor give them through bills of lading after Jan. 1, 1890.

'That jury is packed,' said he last night, when told that no agreement had been arrived at. 'It is all nonsense,' he continued, to think the jury are quibbling over such a slight thing as the term of imprisonment for one of the defendants. Such differences of opinion in a jury room are soon settled after a prisoner is found guilty. Let me tell you that not on,e of the defendants has been fouud guilty by that jury.
