ISSrEI) KVRUY SATUKDAY.

No New Trial for Lane. -t With a nerve that was sublime, Robere ine, the slayer of Thomas Good, this morning stood up and received his life sentence to the penitentiary. Not a muscle quivered in his body and he was the coolest person in the court room.

The preliminaries were soon over. Judge Kent overruled the motion for a new trial and the one filed in arrest of judgment and sustaiued the State's motion for judgment upon the verdict. The appeal to the Supreme Court was granted.

The Court—"Mr. Lane., have you anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon you?'' i-lf

Mr. Lane—"But very little. I think the verdict an unjust one." The Court—"You have had a fair and impartial trial before an able jury. Able lawyers have defended you. The evidence to# my mind fully warranted the finding of the jury. The death penalty could have been inflicied, ae premeditation is shown. I feel sorry for you—a man of your age, one who has served well his country and one who does not look vicious. I think liquor' and a passionate temper brought this calamity of your life upon you. A good citizen has been murdered, shot down in hie own field where he had a right to be, and you cannot blame society if you are punished for your crime. I think the verdict a just one. It is tne verdict of the jury that you are guilty of murder in the first degree and that you be imprisoned in the State prison during life. This will be the judgment of the court."

Mr. Lane walked over and shook hands with his lawyer and left the court room with Sheriff Clark. A reporter saw him at the jail. "What do you think of the court's ruling?' "I think," he replied, sharply,"I think I should bave a new trial. That jury was not competent to try such a case. It was ull fixed up beforehand. They only considered what the prosecutor said. They could not manage their family affairs. I should have taken tke case away from here."—Frankfort Crescent.

Foster's April Weather. "Reactionary storms beginning in March will be about subsiding in the ea6t April 1st. From about the 2d to 4th will be very cool with frosts northard. A regular storm period is central on the 5th, calling for warmer, falling barometer, and storms from the 5th to 8th. Causes which we cannot enumerate in the 6pace allowed, will produce heavy gales at this time, prolonging them most likely into the 9th and 10th. On the 10th, 11th and 12th we paes again into period of falling barometer rising temperature and storms. Very heavy hail stormis in divers sections are apt to attend many of these April storms. Very cool nights] and frost in many central and northern sections will follow at the close of each storm period. From about the 17th to the 2lst look for a very warm wave, falling barometer, and many heavy showers of rain and hail, attended by thunder and windNo one must form the idea that these storms are all to be regarded as dangerous. Some of them may be, but with watchfulness the danger can be avoided. The 23d and 24th are centers of reactionary disturbances. April goes out during the prevalence of a regularetorm period, central on the 28th."
