The Advantage ov German. Two German tobacco buyers of this city recent ly went to a Connecticut farmer and want ed to buv his tobacco. He asked a price which they said was too great, and then they talked with each other in German, agreeing to take it at the price asked if they found that they could not beat the farmer down! His son, a good German scholar, heard all this, and let his father know; and the old man thereupon calmly held out for half an hour, until the buyers came to his terms. An Unlucky Number.

THE KING OF THE BOODLERS" CONVICTED IN NEW YORK. Tbe Foreman of the Jury lke a Mis take In Announcing the Wrdlct, but Immediately Correct lllmlf Scene in the Court I loom. Nxw York, June SO. Jacob Sharp was convicted last night of bribery. The long trial, which had taken thirty-four days, was ended at 9 o'clock, and a few moments later the convict was hurried off to Ludlow Street jail, with the day of his sentence set for Wednesday week. The forenoon was taken up with his counsel's closing appeal and the afternoon with Mr. Fellows' ad lress for the people. At 6:30 o'clock Judge Barrett asked the jurors if they would hsve dinner lefore listening to his charge, but they decided to take only a lunch, so n recess of ten minutes was taken. This seemed bad for Sharp, as it was evident that the jurymen were of one mind. Judge Barrett's charge was a model of clearness. He was just one hour and a half In delivering it, and then the jury retired. ! JACOB SHARP. It was just 8:47 when the jury were hur ried from the court room of oyer and ter miner to the general term room across the rotunda of the court house. At 9 o'clock the court officers in charge of the door of the jury room received the knock of the deliberators and the announcement that a verdict had been reached. Judge Barrett came with his quick, nervous step from his chambers. Mr. Martine, with Mr. Nicoll and Cob Fellows, fell into their places before the jury box. The counsel for tbe de fense, too, fathered in their old places, and the defendant came in with his slow, heavy step, with a Levy of under sheriffs about him, and his faithful grandson as an attendant Mercury. The jurymen came in with some thing of a rush, and when they had been duly seated the roll was called by Clerk Welsh for the thirtieth time. "Gentlemen cf the jury will stand up," said the clerk. Every man was on his feet in ar( instant. , "The defendant will stand." The "old man" of the horse railroad, as far as his age and the cramped position of his chair would permit, hurried to his feet. "Have you agreed upon a verdict?'' was the query which Clerk Welsh sent at Fore man Can field. There was a nod on the part of the fore man, and then in a clear voice he spoke up, saying. "Not guilty.' COL. JOHN R, FELLOWS, The simultaneous protest sounded like a grand "Agh P of denial to the words just spoken. But quick as a flash came the cor rection from the foreman. . "Guilty as charged in the Indictment." Then the jury sat down. Sharp, too, dropped down into his seat and fixed his face on the heap of law booxs before him. "Sharp, what is your agef was the stac cato question from the clerk. Sharp rose weakly as he replied in that thick voice, heard for the first time in the trial course: "Seventy years on the 6th of next month." Where do you reside?" was the second and last question. "No. 354 West Twenty-third street," came the thick voice again, and Sharp sat down as Mr. Stickney got up in an embarrassed fash ion. "Do you desire to have the jury polled!" asked the clerk, and as Mr. Stickney looked in a puzzled fashion, as though he did not understand the words, the court directed it to be done. Each one in turn declared his verdict to be that of guilty, and the clerk an nounced his record of the fact. Foreman Canfield whispered to each jury man in turn, and then, turning to the court, said: ! ; " Wo also recommend the defendant to the mercy cf the court." The court nodded In acknowledgement, but it was not a nod which meant much grace to Jacob Sharp. Then, in a few words, J udge Barrett thanked the jury, declaring that it was with a senti ment of profound relief that he could release them from the burden which they had borne so well for so long. A more intelligent, com petent jury, he said, it bad never been bis fortune to meet. Foreman Canfield thanked tbe judge in return on tbe part of his fellows for the consideration which had been shown them, and then . they departed, protected from the rush of court spectators by a line of court officers. Jacob Sharp is closely guarded at the Lud low Street jail, and will be under the "most vigilant surveillance of Warden Keating and his assistants until July 13. when it is ex pected he will be sentenced by Judge Barrett. The will of Professor William Darling, late demonstrator of anatomy at the university cf New York, was admitted to probate, after a long contest.

Sunday morning this city was ushered in with the instant killing of one man, a deliberate attempt at murder by a young tough and the fatal stabbing of two brothers. William Fisber and A. Oumoniro, the latter a cowboy exhibiting with Broncho Jack's 4Yiki West" show, were in a disreputable house about 2 o'clock in tbe morning. The latter was carelessly handling a revolver, when the weapon ex ploded. The bullet struck Fisher in the eye, killing him instantly. Oumondro says he had no idea that the weapon was loaded with ball, ' as they only use blank cartridges in their exhibition. About 1 a. in. John and Gustave Okner, two brothers, were stabbed while in front of 221 East Division street, by an unknown man. It is expected both will die. The as sailant escaped, and as the wounded men are unconscious nothing can be learned as to the cause ccT the trouble. The third crime was committed by Jack Healy, a young ruffian, residing at 2,041 Hickory street. He was amusing himself about midnight, while seated on the rear porch of his father's house, by shooting off a pistol. Ferdinand Penneroiz, who lives on J the floor below, requested him to stop as the ; noise was startling his (Penneroiz') baby. Healy went down stairs and shot the remon strant, the bullet entering below the ribs and locating near the spine. He may recover. Healy escaped. TWO PHILADELPHIA BOYS Throw Another Overboard for Amuse ment, and lie Is Drowned. Philadelphia, July, 4. While Paul Monsky was gathering kindling wood with his brother aoug the Delaware wharves on Saturday two larger boys caught him, stripped him of his clothing and threw him into the river to see him swim. He did not come to the surface and the boys ran away. The brother of the drowned boy went home crying, carrying tha Clothing, and told the story. It was discredited by the police, as has usually been the case in similar affairs of late, but yesterday the police concluded that the occurrence was as young Monsky had related it, and went to work to find the young murderers. One boy was arrested on suspicion, but was afterward released. The Monskys have only been in this country a short time and are unable to speak English. The boy who witnessed his brother's death has been almost crazed ever since, and can give but a vague description of the culprits. Our Domestic President. Washington, July 4.

The life at Oak View is very quiet and uneventful, the current order of things being only broken in upon now and then by one or two strag gling carriage loads of strangers from the rural districts, who come to Washington im bued with the idea that their visit would be incomplete without a thoroughly exhaustive view of the president's country home.
