A we o engineers received their instructions to advise the firemen what to do. They in turn held perfunctory conferences with the extramen, and a committee was ap- pointed to determine what the final dispo- sition of the fund shall be. This commit | tee is still at work and has determined nothing. A s tion has been made t the cha jle and sick fund be nsformed into an endowment fund is in operation in the Police De: The remnant of the vast rev the charitable and sick fund, un- this arrangement. would serve as the | beginning of the endowment fund, monthly tax to continue as before. Tt should not be forgotten that while the firemen have cared for their sick and their poor, have also looked after their dead. r every death among their | number they have taxed themselves each $1, but only ) of the sum thus raised | has been given to the relatives of the dead. What b f the rest no one ems to know. cuse, therefore, can be given for encroaching on the sick fund, There is a disposition to demand an ac- counting to learn why a fund that estimated, should b least $50,000 {s about $3000 net.

Frenna is a fres man. He was granted his liberty last night by a } in Judge Cook's court which de- clared him not gullty. The twelve good men and true who rendered the verdict were: Jeremiah Geary, H. Hamberger, Edward Cameron, L. Houser, H. C. Hinkel, R. Todt, Charles Evans, T. H. Dooley, L. dlander, Sol Cahen, J. Currier and R. L. Anderson. They were prepared to announce their verdict at 9:30 o'clock, but Oscar Tolle, the clerk of the court, falled to material- ize and the jurors were compelled to cool their heels In the jury-room. After wait- ing until 10:45 p. m. Judge Cook be- came tred and appointed Stenog- rapher Frank Drew to act clerk. The court obtained the consent of W. 8. Barnes, attorney for the defendant, and Assistant District Attorney Saulmann be- fore directed the jury to be brought into court. dge Cook also announced from the b that he did not want any demonstration in the courtroom, no mat- ter how the verdict went, and also di- rected the clerk and bailiff to keep their eyes open and if they saw any person or persons making an outburst to bring them before him and he would deal with them accordingly This threat had its de- ired effect and whken Foreman of the remiah Gear, announced that 3 y find J ph P. Frenna not guilty” 1ot a sound heard. When the verdiet was announced Frenna's countenance lighted up with joy, and he reached for his attorney's chubby hand and silently pressed it. Mr. Barnes then arose and requested that his client be discharged from the custody of the Sheriff and Judge Cook made the requi- site order. He also rewarded the jurors for their long service by granting them a year's exemption from jury duty. As the twelve men left the box their hands were grasped by Frenna, who fer- vently thanked them for thelr kindness to him.” As Frenna left the courtroom he was asked whether he would drink to his g00d fortune, and he replied in the nega- tive. He said he would rush to his mother and announce the joyful tidings. It was learned afterward that the jury agreed on a verdict after taking half a dozen ballots. At the outset of the bal loting there were seven for acquittal and five for conviction. The minority were soon won over, and at the hour of recon- vening they were ready to announce the result. Cierk Tolle will receive a severe repri- mand for clogging the wheels of justice and prolonging the misery of Frenna. et ot A e el Dr. Parker's Cough Cure. One dose will stop & cough. Never fails.
