THE BRECKINRIDGE JURY.
What I'vidence Inflii-nced the .Jury
to Find for the IMalntliT-Occur-rancet
in the Jury I loom Ap-
Iel to he Taken.
Wa!-hin;ton, April IT. It L probable
that the argument on the motion for a new
trial filed by Col. ISreckinndge's attorneys
will not be hard this week.' Jude Ifradley
will -et a daj- for the consultation with the
counsel on both sides. Ashe is not likely
to overrule his own decisions, the motion
will probably be carried to the court of
appeals.
The rnemfens of the Tollard-Iireckinridj-'e
jury have nearly all of them talked freely
about the reasons that induced them to de
clare in favor of the plaintiff. All aree
that the testimony of Mrs. Ulackburn, Maj.
Moore and Claude Francis influenced them
in their decision. It apears from the story
told by the memlers of the jurv tiiat there
was not one ballot cast 'in favor of Col.
Ureckinride, as was reported just after the
verdic t wa. rendered, but that one juror, Dr.
A. M. Greene, refused to vote on the
lirst and only ballot until certain
points in the case had been discussed. A
few minutes after the jury reached the jury
room and before any decision had begun
ForemanCole asked how many were in favor
of giving" the case to the plaintifl and eleven
hands went up. Dr. (ireene sat with folded
arms but he told his fellow jurors that his
refusal to vote did not mean he was in favor
of the defendant. At his reiues;t the evi
dence was discussed for a short time and
then Ir. ireenecast in his vote with the
others. "I don't see how else the jury could
have acted,' he said.
There was a wide raue in the amounts
named by jurors for damages to the plain
tiff. One member wanted to' give one dol
lar, another 1U.). another $3u.X0. Seve
ral jurors named $!5,ou0 and as that was
aboni the average, it was adopted by the
juror.

SENATE.
W.x.-iuN'.ToN. Apnl PJ. The funeral cere
monies of the late Senator Vance, of North
(.'arolina, absorbed the attention of the Sen
ate to-day. The opening prayer by the
blind chaplain, Mr. Milburn, was devoted
entirely to the subject. It was in these
words:
"O Eternal iod. with our hearts we come
to the foot of Thy Throne.while the funeral
knell sounds through the capital, announc
ing the death of another Senator, while
North Carolina mourns the departure from
her of a beloved and honored son. and the
nation feels the loss. We bless Thee for his
large native powers, s'killed in the wide ex
perience of public ailiairs, and for his gen
eral humor enriching and illuming all sub
jects he touched, making him kindly with
his kind, by virtue of which he shed the
influence of a wise and beneficent counsel
and character on his native State, and bv
virtue of his place in this Chamber, on the
land at large. Grant to the widow and
children, under this sore bereavement, the
only comfort winch can come to human
hearts at such a time unshaken faith in
Thy Holy Gospel and the consolation and
sympathy of Thy Ueloyed Son. As the
earthly part of one of our brothers has en
tered on the border of the invisible world,
grant that we may hear from Thy lips:
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord;
yea. saith the spirit, for they rest from
their labors,' we humbly pray, through
Jesus Christ our Saviour, amen." ' '
Senator I tansom of North Carolina, then
made the formal announcment of the death
of his colleague, in these words:
"Mr. President. It is m melancholy duty
to announce to the Senate the death of Hon.
Zubulon Uaird Vance, late a Senator from
North Carolina. He died on Saturday night
last at 10:45 o'clock, at his residence on
Massachusetts avenue, in this city. Though
his long continued and serious illness ought
to have prepared all of us for the sad event,
still, beguiled by his own cheerful and
hopeful spirit, none of us had dreamed that
white horses were coming rapidly to his
door. His death shocks us to the depths of
our hearts. It is a calamity, a sorrow, a
deep public and personal bereavement. A
great man has fallen in our midst.; A
great patriot, a great statesman; a great
speaker, a great thinker, a great actor
has passed away from our sitrht for this life.
He died at his post of 'duty, with his com
plete armor on, with his face to the front,
courageous, hopeful, useful to the last.. buf
ferings did not break down his proud spirit,
dim his noble intellect, nor shake, his fear
less fortitude. Full of vears. but still in the
.strength of his eminent faculties, crowned
with exalted honors, but still animated with
yet higher aspirations and promise of doing
gqojl. Physically wrecked and overcome
with incurable malady, he stood firmly in
the line of his comrades and at the la.t mo-
mem sereneiy gaiuereu 111s rooes arounu
him and stepped with the dignity of a Sen-
mui anu iue jaiiii ui a urisLiaii irum eanxj

spring flowers and genial skies of Florida to j
lay down his sword and shield on the very
altar of his country. i

sir, I should commit a very great wrong not
to say now with what unspeakable pain and
infinite grief the death of Senator Vance
'smites the people of North Carolina. For
more than forty years, in peace and in war,
he has been the most beioved and the most
honored son of that great State. From the
overflowing ocean across the hills and val
leys, to the majestic mountain tops, he was
a familiar and most dear object to the
hearts and homes of all our people. Lan

love and gratitude of all ages, of both sexes,
of every class, condition and race, of the , clear bring no delight to our eyes and no

by destiny to hold in his hands the hearts
of the people; and at this moment the
throbbing breasts of thousands are follow-
! ing his silent march to the tomb. If he had
faults they were bold, brave, open faults,
and are foreyer eclipsed and forgotten in
the fulfilment of a great and glorious life
and in the magnanimity of a noble nature.
As I think of the -short interval at which he

L.ut I must not tru.-t myself further. At
the hour of o tonight the committees of the
two Houses ot congress, the entire delega-

"And now, I cas only venture in the

was taken until li.ot) o clock p. m.
When the Senate reassembled at. 3:30 the
galleries were packed with eager spectators
the ladies generally wearing sombre cos
tumes. Ihe seats on the floor had been re
arranged, the chairs of Senators beimr
brought together more closely than usual
and over lt plain oak-oolored wooden chairs
being placed in the lobbies at the rear of the
two sections. Iarge leather, crimson col
ored upholstered arm chairs for the family
of the dead Senator to the left of the Vice
President and for the President and mem
bers of his Cabinet to the right stood
within the area.
I On the Secretary's desk was an immense
floral piece representing the broken trunk
of a galix tree, a North Carolina growth,
around which roses and other flowers were
twined, and along the walls at close inter
nals were ranged potted plants of palms and
evergreens with two tall North Carolina
pines on each side of the Vice-President's
chair, and a tall palm in the recess . be
hind it.
I Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, Gen. Grant's
daughter, occupied a front seat in the gal
lery to the east of the reporters gallery.
I At 3:50 o'clock the casket containing the
re
emains of the dead Senator was born into
the Chamber by a squad of uniformed Cap
itol police and placed on a bier in the area.
t was preceded by the committees of ar
rangements of the two Houses, the mem
pers of which wore white scarfs, and was
accompanied by the honorary pall bearers
jwearing black scarfs. The top of the casket
was covered with a profusion of roses and
ilies. Then immediately afterwards the
deputy sergeant at-arms, Mr. Lay ton, an
nounced the arrival at the main entrance of
the Chamber of the Speaker and members
Of the House of" Kepresentatives, the Vice
'resident and Senators stood up and re
mained standing while the m"embers
of the House were seeking their
steats the Sneaker taking his beside the
Vice President, at his right hand side, and
the members theirs on the Democratic side
of the Chamber, which was entirely va

j , Then "The Ambassador of England to the
Fnited States" was announced, and all
present stood up while Sir Julian Paunce
fote was conducted to his place.
The President, who appeared to be fairly
well and active, took his seat on a red mo
rocco covered arm chair at the head of the
line of chairs in the first row. Next to him
sat Secretary Gresham, of the State Depart
ment and then came Secretaries Carlisle,
Herbert, Smith. Morton, Postmaster Gen

the end of the row Sir Julian Pauncefote
sat, and near him Bishop Keane, of the
Catholic university. ,
j The religious observances were begun
with prayer and the reading of scriptural
selections by Kev. Dr. Moses D. Hoge, of

I Then Dr. Hoge began his funeral address.
He said: j
"The shadow of a great sorrow'falls on

Suddenly called upon on an occasion
so solemn and before an assembly so august,
1 feel that there is but one topic which
becomes one in my position, only one
theme about which it is proper for me to
peak. The first requirement for the high
est and most symmetrical development of
(everything that is noble in the character of
a public man, whether a soldier, a sage or a
Senator, is a sincere, consistent, heartfelt
jpietv. Piety towards God is the surest in
centive to the full discharge of all duty
towards men. It is the truest and most un
failing inspiration of honor, the strongest
safeguard of personal integrity, the most
f ihcient aid in the pursuit and in the attain
inent of whatsoever things are true and
ust and honest and lovely and of good re
jort. I stand here to affirm that the man
who lives perpetually as under bis great
Task Master" s eye, who believes and who
remembers that God is now the witness bf
lis conduct and will be his final jude. is
he man who will ever be the most fearless
n meeting his responsibilities, and the most
faithful in the discharge of all his trusts.
Ie is the man who will be most elevate!
oyer whatever is mot ignoble and narrow
and elfih. because the ends which he aims
at are those of his country, his. God and
truth. !
"And now, when I remember on whom
this bereavement has fallen with its heav
iest weight, Ob, what can I do, what can we
aLl do. but to take up in the arms of our
faith and Christian sympathy and affection
those who are most bereaveu and commend
them to the Father of Mercies to the God
of all oomfort commend them to the tender
care of Jesus, lover of souls, and never so
full of rympathy as when his children are
punished with sorrow."
The preacher recalled the scene of Masil
lon, the famous French divine, preaching a
faneral sermon before a French Kine. and
declaring, after his eyes had wandered over
!tha scene of pride and mocking yanity
until at last they settled on the bier where
dead Koyalty lay beneath the pall. "There
i nothing ereat but God."
