Roberts, Trustees, _ Winter Novels and What Their Readers Say. “Hardy’s ‘Far from the Madding Orowd’ 18 away above the average run of novels,” said Miss Rachel, laying down the latest addition to Henry Holt & Co,’s “Leisure Hour Series; “but I should a8 soon think of comparing Dryden to Shakespeare as to compare this volume to George Eliot. fhe Loudon Spectator, 1 believe, said, in reviewinj; the opening chapters of the book, that iMit Was ‘not written by George Eliot, then there 18 a new light among novelists,’ Thomas Hardy 1s & new light among novelists, that isa fact. It is yarely that We find as good character patnting as | thatin ‘Far trom the Madding Crowd.’ ” “It ig @ beautiiul story,” remarks belicia; “I can scarcely imagine a woman like Bathsheba; but I suppose there are such in the world—vain, weak and cruel. What tere was about her to win the hearts of three men I cannot understand. Her beauty could not have completely hidden her glaring faults.” “Bathsheba begins well,’’ puts in Fred, who sat up all night reading the book; “but {£ don’t like her as sbe grows older. She is just the sort of woman I should want to strangle or marry.”” ‘Perhaps both,’’ suggests Miss Rachel, “It seems to me,’’ continues Fred, without no- Nicing the {nterruption, “that Hardy gets one worked up for a climax when there 1s none com- ing? For instance, when Sergeant Troy goes to sleep under the waterspout in the churcbyard it is only natural to suppose that the rushing atream would drown him. Ajter a page and a@ half of Gescription it is a little disappointing to have it allend in a few flowers being washed off a grave. 1 think that Hardy missed a good point there.” “I cap understand very well why Bathsheba did not wapt to marry Boldwood, good, kind fellow though he was,” says Felicia, ‘Gabriel Oak lacked snap ana Troy aiver all was more the man to wio suck @ woman, He just Joved her enough to make his courting agreeable, although I must acknowledge that he was an unworthy wretch, with @ beart that would have shamed ap honest chicken,” i‘ *“You must not speak slightingly of Gabriel Oak," | said Miss Rachel; ‘he is the beat character in the book. I love that man for his perfect unselfishness aud for his coolness under the most provoking circumstances. He was forty times too good jor | Batbaheba; she had no idea of his worth, The only weak point in his character was his love jor her. Poor Gabriel! 1 wisn Fate bad been kinder with him than to have placed nis happiness in that woman’s keeping.” Some of the dramotis persona in this book are a little tiresome; but, taken’ as a whole, the story is powerful and delicate, too. By long odds, it is, 30 far, the novel of the season. A FOREGONE CONCLUSION. “If apy one should ask me how I thoughi Mr. W. D. Howells wrote,” said Felicia’s father, the Doc- tor, “I should say under a microscope. His books Impress me like the Mnest sort of miniature paint- ing, which, although beautiful art, is not so pleas- img as @ few bold stroxes that give the same -etfect.’? “Mr. Howelia’ men and women,” adds Felicia, “don’t seem like real flesh and blood. In ‘A Foregone Conclusion’ (James R. Osgood & Co.), which we have all been reading, there ia not a character that suggests any one in real life. Mrs. 'Vervain, innocent, addie-pated creature that sane Was is the most natural character in the book. /Florida Vervain is an impossible creature, and Henry Ferris, although evidently a pet of the , Writer, lacks backbone and 1s often very ungentle- ‘ manly,” ¢ ‘dn any other hands Don Ippolito would be ex- ,ceedingly interesting,” says Miss Rachel, “but ‘Mr. Howells has made him too weak and maudlin, It was not at all unnatural that he should have fallen in Jove with the pretty American; that. was @ foregone conclusion, as well as the love of Fer- vg, By the way, do you notice how Florida is described as a rather homely girl; but Mr. Howells | | | | calla her a beauty. Pale, cheeks with a sugges- tion of freckles, and eyelashes ‘touched with the Faintest red’ is certainly not an attractive deacrip- tion,” “My dear girla, you are altogether too fault ind- ing,” says the Doctor, rebakingly; “you should be aelighted to get hola of a novel written in suca good English. It certainly is reiresning nowadays. I cannot say thai I think Mr. Howells a genius, put he is a very talented man, and his verses particu- larly are as dainty as a new blown rose.” “Did you feel, father, that you had been reading s hovel when you finished ‘A foregone Oonclu- sion: * “Hardiy that, Felicia,” the Doctor responded; “yet the story 18 very pretty. Neither the ‘Wed- ding Journey’ nor ‘Venitian Life’ can be called novels, although ‘A Foregone Conclusion’ 13 more like one than are the other two, Iread Mir. Howells more for his language than for his story, Jor bis plots do not amount to a row oi pis. They are ierely the trame- work upon whicn he rears @ gracetul struccure. Qn the other hand, one of the most thoughtul men 1 know told me that he read this book aloud to his lamliy, and they all thought that parts of it at least equalled ‘George Lliot’ in psychological insignt and knowledge of human nature.” “TRE LILY AND THE €ROS8,”? Felicia was surprised upon reading "The Lily and the Cross’ (Lee & Shepard) to find so much good juit, She had been told wat De Mille had grouna himsel{ out o! late, and she was prepared lor some- thing very poor. ‘To be sure Professor De Malle has never equalled his *‘Do luv,” but his latest efforts have not been at all in thatline, ‘The Lily end the Cross,” as Felicia told Miss Rachel, is @ very pretty little story of American lie during the reign of King George IV. ‘The plot is not bad, and although some of the character painting Is weak the story is worth reading. I'he scene 1s laid 1m Acadia, partly aboard aschooner and partly at Louisbourg, a French Canadian settlement.

Now, it fell out Claude Mower was a noble Frenchman, Count de Montre- sor, and the old Count de Laborde was his tatner’s enemy and De Cazeneau was the enemy of both. ‘rhe father of Claude Was supposed to be dead, but eventually came to light in toe person of ‘Pere Michel. Claude and Mima fail in love with each other, De Cazeneau tried to separate them and the good old priest, unknown to nis son, aids him in freeing himself from the toils of the wary Count. Old Laborde dies ana Mima is left alone. Claude steals her away and gets Jocked up im consequence. In the sequel rignt triumphs over might, the priest declares litmuelf and the brave young coupie are happy married. ‘The story abounds in hairbreadth ’scapes and ad- ventures generally. GENTIANELLA. “Here is a novel hi flown enough for the most romantic school girl,” remarks Miss Ruchel. taking up “Gentianella” (Porter & Coates), by Mra. Randolph. ‘1 don’t believe that you, Felicia, old novel reader that you are, can quite stand this volume.” “I bave just finianed the book,’’ replies Felicia, with a fps eT “and must ackpowledge that it 18 a little beyond my endurance. The first chap- ler 18 enough to stamp the book. I cannot imagine why ap author wants to name a heroine Muriel Vavasour. A girl with such « pame de- serves to have hair ‘of the hue of fax, with the sun shining ob and through it, a gmail, straight, del- icate nose, proeiaieels, curved lips of a deep coral, contrasting with pearly teeth, and lastly, deep, darkly, gloriously blue eyes’ and ‘a glorious Ire: young voice.’ 1 think the writer of this volume is well versed in the language of gusb.’’ “This 18 not @ bad idea,’ says Miss Rachel, glancing througo the pages of the book, «‘to make this silly Mrs. Vavasour so tdentify herself with @ character in the novel she i# reading that she speaks and acts like the heroine. The way she named her children after characters of romance and alter their rich relations also is a little junny—Ermyntrude Unity and St. Clair Jehosha- phat, going altogether by their second names when the aoresaid rejations were around,” “You never ad such & romantic story,’ interrupt licla. “The hero, Stephen Lom- oard, who is supposed to be some gypsy's Offspring ng-lost heir of a noble house.

HOW THE JURY STOOD Atasearly an hour as half-past nine o'clock, and spite of it being Sunday, that portion. of Chambers street opposite the New Court Hous begap to fil] up with those who had been at- tracted to the trial of the Coroner. Nothing could haye bee more conclusive as to the public interest Jelt in that trial. A posse of policemen jrom the City Hall precinct were Wlready at the doors of the Court House, however, and only admitted those who were prop+ erly entitied to an entrance. Hundreds were, cousequently, obliged to remain out, They ned the sidewalk opposit hey occupied every step of the unflaished stone stairway of the Court House and they stood down the street toward Centre, the way by which Croker was to be brought ‘rom his celiin the Tombs, it was gener Among these hun- dreds were many men prominent in the public eye, and the sole mutter of interest among all was the trial, the decision in which was still waute ing. ‘Sympathy was expressed for the prisoner, but the ‘act of the jury being out so long looked ominous to those who understood the methods of courts and juries. As the hour advanced the crowd became more dense and the excitement was intense, As the hour of eleven approached those more imme- diately imterested began tu arrive and entered tne building. Among these Was Mr. John Kely, who subsequentiy sat near the prisoner. THE JURY. The jury, which had retired at ten minutes past seven the evening before, had come back to ask questions at hall-past nine, and were finally locked up at forty minutes past eleven tor the night, had remained in their room dtsgus- sing the questions presented to them. The obe Ject of returning for the testimony of Johnson ‘was that one of the jury insisted that this witmess Was not certain whether Croker had a pistol oF not. It proved that Johnson said he saw Croker, and gait he had no pistol. Upon this point the discussion continued, some of the Jury lying down on the benches, ovners sitting around, and every man entering into the argument, It was a loug and wholly profitless diz cussion, a8 at daylight the jurymen stood precisely in the same position as they did when ‘they frat entered the room, not one having changed in the slightest his original opinion, At daylight it became evident that further discussion was entirely useless, and tho jury retrained, some sleeping and others lying listlessly around the room. The accommodations of thelr room were anytuing bus pleasant, bus complaint was useless and was not indulged ia. THE PRISONER, After the strain and trial oi the night before, when Coroner Croker had uudergone an ordeal ail the more severe that It Was Unexpected (ashe fad been led by his iriends to believe that an immediate acquittal was certain), he took a light supper abd Was then conducted back to the ‘Tombs, Where he envered once more a cell he had hoped in the morning ever to see again. He, however, spite of his uxiety and the sutfering of suspense, slept weil, itis said, and when, at ten minutes to eleven, he was brought into court yes- terday morning, he looked tresh, but much more nervous than on the previous nigat, The court rooir, according to the order of Justice Barrett, was not allowed to be sofull as on the previous night, and was about two-thirds occupied. At alew minutes before eieven Messra Wingate, Clinton and. Fellows, counsel for the prisoner, en- tered the room and took their accustomed seats, Then came Assistant District Attorneys Rolting and Lyons. Mr. Benjamin K. Pheips waa not resent. Around the prisoner sat the same num- er of sympathizers and friends wno had been with him on the evening before. At three minutes past eleven Justice Barrett entered the court room and took his seat upon the bench, He told the Crier to summon the jury to come into courg, and five minutes aiter they fled into their seats, looking Very seedy and very solemn. ‘Clerk Sparks—Gentiemen toc jiry, you will answer to your names as they are calied, Each juror answered “present” to his name. Judge Barrett—Have you agreed upon a verdict? Foreman of the Jary—We nave not. ‘The loreman then arose in his seat and handed a sealed communication to the Judge, who took it and opened it, read! it to bimgelr. Alter he had read it, he said:+<‘is there any objection to my reading this commoupication aloud #" ‘bhe members of tne jury signified that there was no objection whatever, Judge Barrett thereupon read the note, which in substance stated tuat the jury had been from the first moment of retiring equally divided, aud that the possibility of their agreeing Was hopeless. That indeed they nad ceased to discuss the ques- tion since daylight and until the time when they were brought into the court room. After Judge Barrett read the letter he said:— “Under these circumstances, and with my knowl. edge of the care which you bave, gentiemen of the jury, given to the case, and the intelligence you have displayed in the course of the trial, I feel it to be my duty to Kean zon no longer together, [ regard it as very significant, however, that the jury, aiter & protracted trial), should be go equally divided a8 to the guilt, and that six of the jury should consider the possibtlity its aving been the prisoner who fired the shot, Had there been simply a ditference af opin- 10n among @ne or two OF your number | should consider it my duty to have kept you fometper longer In an attempt to arrive at a Verdict, But you stand so equally divided aiter seventeen hoarg hard work, and 1am compelled to discharge you. If, however, you think there 1s the slightest possi- bility of your arriving at a verdict I shall still keep yoa together, Foreman of the Jury—There is not, Judge Barrett—Then you are dischar, Mr. Clluton—I beg the attention of the Court for one moment. It would be tateresting to know how the jury stood and { would request Your dionor to ask the jury as to What degree of gus those who were in iavor of conviction st ‘out for.

Judge Barrett—I shall not pbedeiss tal) the jory on the subject, Gentiemen, you are disohi Mr. Cliton said he should make the motion lor bail at an early day, fhe Court was then adjourned, and an imme- diate rush took place for the doors. The prisone was led down to the Sheriffs office, where he re. mained until the crowd had dispersed, w quietly walked to the Tombs, ‘The result of the case Was @ general surprise t¢ everybody, as nobody seemed to Dave anticipated such a result to the trial of Coroner Croker.

Lioyd (ninth juryman), Louis Ouvrier (tenth jaryman), Enos D. Throop (tweith juryman), For Conviciion—Nathaciel J. W. Lecato (fores man), Henry McGregor (third juryman), Richard McNamee (sixth juryman), Robert Ogiivie (seventh juryman), Timotny S. Holtoa (eigoth Jurymau), George \.

WHAT THE JURYMEN SAY. A H&RALD reporter interviewed several of the Jurymeu on the question as to Low tuey reached tueir point of disagreement. Mr, Lecato, the foremau of the jury, said that while he would not mention Who were i favor aud Who were agaimst Croker be would gay that from the first bullot that Was taken in the jury room i Was evident the jury would not agree, They then stood six to six, and did not chauge during the uight until they stopped discussing the question te haaede Those who Were in favor of acquittal believed that Croker bad nothing to do whatever with the shooting of McKenga. Tho: who were the other way considered he bad fre: a shot, and that it was with the intention of kil ing either MeKenua of some one of the other peo. ple present that Croker tired the shot. 8@ were as determived in their attitude as those wha were against conviction, Mr. Bowers, the secund juryman, was algo intere viewed, He said that all discussion was from the first useless. Every jaryman bat bad evi- deutly wade up his mind entirely and could Dot be changed, Six of the Jury stood for entire ace quictal and the other six were for murder, Thest however, were willing to rtheir verdict an * & compromise of m jaughter in the third degree, but those for acquittal would not consents to this, as their argument Was that the prisoner Was ether gality or not y, Whe were not guilty it would be unjust to condemn him to any degree Of guilt. It would be a perversion Of jus+ tice, So in this attitude the two pai ties remained, neither willing to give way.
