Judge McConnell Expects an Answer Soon. Cannxat Court, Cuicaco, Deo, 16,2 p.m.— Judge McConnell has just announced that a re- turn of some kind will be made by the jury in a few minutes. Cmtcaco, Dee. 16.—Judge McConnell was promptly on hand in the court room at 10 o'clock this morning, aud took his seat upon the bench. The prisoners were not brought in from the jail, After waiti until 10:30 with- out receiving any communication of any kind from the jury s recess was declared until 1 o'clock, but this hour was subsequently changed to 2o’clock, The street outside the building is packed with the toughest-looking crowd that has been seen in the city for many aday. All the available members of the reserve police force are on duty in the neighborhood in plain clothes. The failure of the jury to return a verdict this morning occasions general sur- prise, and has renewed the rumors that one of the body has been “fixed.” HOW THE PRISONERS FEEL. The prisoners were all up early this morning, and had their breakfast at the usual hour. ‘They were early informed of the rumored dis- agreement of the PY, and the tenor of the verdict, but they did not believe it. Burke smiled good-naturedly when spoken to about the verdict, “I don’t see how they can find it ont,” said he. ‘If that is the verdict and the worst has come, it won't be better by fretting.” Coughlin expressed doubt as to the truth of the rnmor, O'Sullivan and Beggs had little to say, and Kunze joked with the reporter about the possibility of getting twenty-five years in the penitentiary. GOV. FAIRCHILD INSULTED. Indians Who Will Not Listen to the “Palzy-the-Hand” Veteran. Tanxequan, LT., Dec. 16.—The attempt to negotiate with the Cherokees has at last re- sulted in an open rupture between the parties, Senator Wolfe opposed the Ross resolution in- viting Gen. Fairchild to address the joint as- sembly. The resolution met with vigorous op- position, so Ross will withdraw it, Wolf made a fierce speech. He said: ‘Ihe government commission has denounced the Cherokee dele- gates as contemptible lisrs, Itis beneath the government to so denounce a weak and de- fenseless people. The government should show some consideration for us. I have no desire to hear the United States commissioners talk after they have abused us, I think they should be denied the privilege of the Senate cham- ber.” —_>—__ RAILWAY COLLISION, Two Prominent Railway Officials Killed on Their Owa Road.

He seemed almost stunned by the shock. He said hardly a work except to ask the committee to excuse him, and in five min- utes was on his way to catch the morning train for the west, The dispatch announcing Mrs. Cannon's death was received by ex-Senator Kellogg with the request that he break the news as gently as possible to Mr. Cannon. The dispatch stated that Mrs, Cannon had dropped dead at 10 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Cannon was born ‘m Canfield, Ohio, in the old Connecticut purchase. Her maiden mame was Mary Reed and her ancestors had settled in Canfield, among the first settlers, She has snffered for some years from heart trouble and it is supposed that this was the cause of her death. In 1862 Mr. Cannon, who was at that time state's attorney in Illinois, married Miss Reed. whom he met while she was visiting relatives in Illionois, Mra. Cannon has been a brillant figure in congressional and social circles in this city ever since her first winter here, sixteen years ago, when Mr. Cxnnon was elected rep- Tesentative from the Champaign, Ill, district, and her death will be deeply regretted. Her loss will also be greatly felt by the various benevolent and charitable associations for line she was always ready to do efficient worl The famity—Mr. and Mra, Cannon and the two beautiful daughters, Helen and Mabel— were devoted to each other, and the blow that breaks up this exceptionally affectionate and happy group is rrible one indeed. MR. SHILLINGTON RESIGNS. Another Vacancy in the Office of the Attorney of the District. Mr. Joseph Shillington, special assistant at- torney of the District, today sents letter to the Commissioners tendering his resignation, to take effect upon the appointment and qualifi- cation of his successor. Mr. Shillington stated, in explanation of his resignation, that the pub- lished statement that he had refused to resign was 6 misstatement, and thatatno time has he ssid that he would not resign. On the contrary, he was perfectly willing to go out when ex-Attorney Riddle gave up his in- cumbency of the office and stood ready to do so. “I was expecting to make the change,” said the prosecuting attorney to @ Strap re- lated today, ‘when my associates in office did, ut just previous to their going outa itle- man came to see me and said that he had been sent by Mr. Hazelton to ask me to retain my office, and that he bimself had been offered the place of the first assistant, and only consented to take it on condition of my remaiping. Two other oS both lawyers, volunteered the information to me that in conversation with the new attorney he expressed to them his benpeee to retain me out of a sup- posed regard for the public interest. The matter there rested until I received the letter from Mr. Hazelton, in which he stated that for reasons not personal to myself he would at an early date recommend to the Commissioners the appointment of my successor, In an in- terview with me Mr. Hazelton stated in ex- planation of his letter that his reasons for the change were duc to pressure which he felt it embarrassing to resist. Now, there is the whole thing in a nut shell. I am not the one to refuse to resign when asked to, Itcan make no dif- ference whether the Commissioners decline to accept my resignation or not, Their kindly feelings toward me I appreciate very highly, but I think they will agree with me that the attorney should be permitted to select his own assistants, I certainly trust that my successor, whoever he may be, will be a suc- cess, and I shall do everything in my power to help him in the discharge of his new duties, for I have none but the friendliest feeling to- ward every one connected with the attorney's office." The resignation was accepted by the Com- missioners, who paid him the usual compli- mente. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.
