THE PROCEEDINGS AT THE COURT HOUSE, When by several oracular hints, significant and Mysterious nods and winks and wnesual move- ments of the two famous ushers, Murray snd Caldwell, it dawned upon the minds of the await- ing host of reporters that the jury had been seat for, and were about tocome back to court, the tush from te anteroom for seats in the chamber of justice was tremendous, The re- porters were followed by a crowd of Idlers who mad been lounging about the corridors all the morning. Policemen were very soon piaced upon | the doors, and the general mob that quickly streamed up from the street held at bay. lt was exactly tweive o'clock, and the bell was tolling the hour, when Mrs. Beecher, wrapped in alight biue sbawl, & black bonnet with a biue bow, and her 1ace more flushed than common, entered the courtroom, where now over 100 persons,nad as- Bssembied, She was followed by ber daughter-in- taw, Mrs. Colonel Beecher, whe was dressed mn a dark slato silk, her head surmounted by a binck tat, beautifully trimmed with crimson roses, She had a crimson bow at her neck, aod = =the fingers or ber lett hand, which sne neld daintiiy onder her chin, when seated gleamed with diamonds, Applause bUrst OUt as the two ladies procecued with a brick step to the seats arrgneed for them by the faithiul usher, Caldwell, They were the only two ladies in | court, and sitting amid a waste of var ¢ chairs, witoevery eye upon them, they snowed @ natural embarrassment.

TWENTY-FIVE YE PIRES eT A PROPHETIC VIEW OF THE DOUBTING JULT— EVARTS PROPOSES TO SEND THE JURY AROUND THE WORLD-—CABPENTER'S GREAT PICTURE OF RECONCILIATION, {From the New Yorx Henan, June 30, 1900.) Ataiate hour last evening there was aramor ARS HENCE, that the jurors in the Beecher triai had come toan | agreement, and the venerable Judge Neilson was Sent for to hts house at Prospect Park. He came down in his patent steam automatic coupé, Upon arriving at the court room he was met by the ven- erable Mr. Shearman, and the eray-haired Judge Morris, who represented the plaintid. Uven tn- quiry our reporter learned that a communication had deen received from the jury asking for inatrac- tions upon the question, whevuer the Commane Procession, which was a mater of so much dello. | eration durtng the trial, was a religious or a poe litical ceremony. Judge Nelison asked the conn- | Sel whether ne should make a respouse to this re- quest and there was a long argument, alr, Beach, | for the pluistiff, taking the ground that the Com. | mune procession was neither a political nora re- | lgious ceremony, but a social event, with no bear- | ing upon she trial, and that subsequent cestimony, which he had in bis possession, but which he had not been allowed to produce, showed that | the procession was really intended to open a beer garden at or near Central Pa: and that the motives of Mr. Swinton and Mr. Tilton in taking part were not out of respect for Rosselor the Communists, but to indulge # taste for beer. | ‘The distinguished and venerable Mr. Shearman | responded angrily, tue tears rapidly falling over his furrowed and aged features, contending thar the whole evidence disproved the position as- sumed by Mr, Beach; that Mr. Tiltom endeavored to sho, by his presence in the Commane pro- fon that he did neither believe in God, the | inity, Society, or the sanctity of human life, and line that he wus in favor of shooting ail the priests and archbishops. Judge Nelison intimated to the counsel that he did not see the relevancy of this discussion; but that as the jury had noc asked him a question for the last three years, he thought he migat with propriety send a written repiy to this, The Judge then retired to mis private office and excluded all reporters while for two hours he wrote au elaborate answer, which wasréad to the counsel of either side, sealed up, and handed to OMlcer Rodgers, who, aitaough in ninety. sixth year of his age, shows much activity, and Will not resign his post until the verdict is ren- dered, 5 BULVEN YRARS OVER ONE JIROR, The Court acsembied at eleven o'clock for the purpose of heartng fromthe jury. 1uere was the Usual crowd in attendance, Ali manner of rumors floated through fae air, amomg ethers the Jury stood ten fer Beecher and wwo for Tutom.

Ex- Pre nt Bvarts, in conversation with one of oar reporters, as be stood smoking a cigar in the conrt room, Wis long whlse hair at ream. ing over his shoulders, said that he approved of tne idea of the Judge of sending the jury around ihe world in a man-ol-war, He thought this was due to the sacrifi they had. made, and that @ tranquil sea voyage would enable them to Some (A ® decigion, He iurshermore Haid that | A RURGEd harw on the Aas, Tilton sitting or reclining on a lounge or | Loader and | | wit and defendant’s counsel, threw his ari , Knows, of that & | #hd mny con’ happy aud respected union, and altuougs, Lf the Khowiedge of these facts coaid be communi- cated to the jury, it might bring the pro- | ceedings to an end; still tue law must be respected, and in the interest of civil- ization and justice and peace What we want is a verdict. “To be sure, the piaintiy and detend- ant Gad long since embraced With # holy Kies, and Mr. ‘Tilcon is now the assistant pastor o!

Mr, Evarts replied that he did intend to mike a motion to this effect—That the Succetary 0! the Navy be requested to place at tne disposal of the Court the Irigate Penooscot, now iying tm the Haat River, and that the captain be requested to take the jury around the world under tue charge of three oflicers of the Court—irst, a8 @ inatier of santtery protection gnd duty, and, second, wo enabie them to really come to a verulct. be pe asked whether such a motion was tenable, Cniei Justice Neilson said it was within the op- tion of the Conré to enteriain it, Judge Morris responded by saying that nis long-felt duty to our Lord and to the inter: is of the Obureh, and lus desire for the regen- ‘ation of the world and tne bringing back of (he siniul aid suffering into toe mercies of that fold | where aloue true pesos could be lound—the told of | Old Plymouth eharch—wouild justily bim in ac- ceding to any motion made by Lis venerable friend, Mr. Evarts; but his duty to lus Master and his chent were in antagonism, He had long Known peace—he had returued, like the Prodigal Soa, irom hvying with the swine herds oi the Brooklyn Riog, His Honor remombered that woader(ul night eleven years ago woen, with Lis noble and pious irieads, Thomas Kincelia, James Craig, Demas Barnes, William Kingsley \ William Dewitt, they Rad marched up | arm im arw to the foot of | pulpit and were there recetved wisi aifec- } by Ut gteat clergyman who was Tow with us and by bis esteemed predecessor Mr- Shearman, the clerk. “Ai! your Honor,” said | Judge .
