So Says tlio Jury After Only Twenty Minutes’ Deliberation.

E VERDICT IS CHEERED. Mother of the Convicted Man Brenkn Down Completely — Joy of the Dead Girl’s Auot and Sister—Rapid Progress In the Holmes Case—Testimony All In and the Arguments Made Today. San Francisco, Nov. 2.—Theodore Dnmint, assistant superintendent of Emanuel Baptist church Sundayschool, was yesterday convicted of the murder of Blanche Lamont after having been on trial since July 22 last. The jury was out 20 minutes and arrived at the verdict on the first ballot. As there was no recommendation of mercy, the punishment was Axed at death. The scene in the courtroom when the verdict was announced will never be forgotten by those who were present. Judge Murphy finished his charge at 8:20 and the jury at once retired. Although there was supposed to be little prospect of a verdict being returned before 7 or 8 o’clock in the evening, the ^hrong of spectators who had remained in the overcrowded courtroom all the afternoon to hear the judge’s charge settled themselves back in their seats to await the return of the jury. Mrs. Durraut and the prisoner talked and laughed together as if an acquittal were a foregone conclusion. They were surrounded by half a dozen friends and the conversation was animated. When it became whispered about that the jury had agreed upon a verdict a hush instantly fell upon the little circle that hail gathered around the prisoner. Durrant’s face, always pallid, assumed a ghastly hue and his mother was speechless. Then the door at the rear of the room opened and the jury filed in and took their seats in the box. Clerk Morris asked th" usual question as to whether the jury had agreed upon a verdict. Foreman Warren 1 Jut,ton arose and replied in the affirmative. Verdict «f Guilty. “Wo, the jury,” said he, “find the defendant, William Henry Theodore Durrani, guilty of murder iu the first do-

gree.”

^As the aged foreman, pale and tremftiing, read the words that fixed Durrani’s fate, a low rumbling noise like the roar of a mob arose from the rear of the courtroom. The next moment men were cheering wildly, whilo women wept hysterically in excitement. As the last words of the verdict were uttered Dun am a spasmodic effort to arise to his feet, but before ho could do so his mother, with a half sigh, hajf moan, threw her anus around his neck and sunk back into her chair. His mother's grief seemed to make Durraut forget his own position, and for the next few minutes he sat with his anus around her neck trying to soothe nor. The long strain of the trial, however, had completely shattered her self-con-trol, and it was some time before Mrs. Dnmint could leave the courtroom. Durraut recovered his old-time composure as soon as he left his mother and prepared to return to the county jail. With his overcoat swung carelessly over his arm, he walked leisurely out of the room, twirling his slight mustache with apparently as little concern as if he were merely a spectator iustead of the principal figure iu the exciting scene. | Aside from the spectators, Mrs. Noble, Blanche Lament's aunt, and Maud Lamont, the dead girl’s sister, were apparently the happiest persons in the room. When the verdict was announced Maud Lamont arose from her seat, clasped her hands and then cried of sheer excitement. Mrs. Noble mixed smiles with tears and shook hands with a number of friends who crowded around to con-

gratulate her.

When order was restored Judge Murphy announced that sentence would be passed next Friday, upon which day he would also set the date for the trial of Durraut on the charge of murdering

Minnie Williams. Verdict Is Popular.

San Francisco, Nov. 2.—The people of the city wore almost as much excited la.->t night over the verdict in the Durraut case as they were when the Emanuel church murders were first discovered. While some few of Durrani’s friends profess to believe that it was impossible for him to commit the crimes, the general verdict is that he is guilty and

should hang.

RKAOY FOR THK ARGUMENT. udge Arnold Make* a Time Record In

the Holmef* Murder Trial.

HILADBLPHIA, Nov. 2.—Tonight the wonhl will probably know whether or wot Ilolmes will hang. Incidentally Mobiles, who is not now a part of the worldl but a mere shrunken figure with a nunuber, a cage and all men's enmity,

will himself know.

WhAn the trial began last Monday everybody anticipated a siege of at least two wiheks, but the decision of Jndgo Arnold 4hat no testimony would bo admitted Other than bearing directly on the murder of Benjamin F. Pietzol, had the effect of keeping out all matters relating to the death of the Pietzel children at ludianapolis and Toronto. Distriot Attorney Graham fought as hard as he knew how to get this evidence in, but the law was against him and the defense scored its first and bably its last victory. When he

close ms case yusieruay, ana no Kept his word. When the commonwealth’s prosecutor announced that he was through, counsel for the defense calmly arose nud made wlint many persons characterized lift “a bold bluff” and many more as playing the last card left. They confidently told the court that the commonwealth had not made out its case and a-ked Judge Arnold to tell the jury so and wind up the trial then and there. District Attorney Graham smiled an fbeiHl smile and said this was too ah surd to answer, but Judge Arnold expressed no opinion other than that the case would have to proceed. 1 hen the counsel made the astonishing statement that they wanted time to find out what the defense was going to be, because they had been so busy listening to the evidence against them they had not had a chance to prepare an answer to it. The court was not very anxions to create another delay, but finally suspended business and gave the attorney’s an hour’s talk with Holmes. This over, they came back in court and announced that they would call no witnesses, but would submit the case on argument alone. This will probably allow the case to end this evening. There was no change in Holmes’ demeanor, although a keen observer might have perceived a deeper pallor on his cheeks and in bis bine eyes the subdued glare of a wild beast tracked to earth at

last.

AMERICAN COLLEGE ATTACKED. Ill Feeling of the Turks Culminates In an Attempt at Incendiarism. Constantinople, Nov. 2.—Advices from Marsovan, Asia Minor, show that the trouble which was anticipated by United States Minister Terrell, in a dispatch to the state department at Washington iu August last, has culminated in au attempt to burn the American college tljere. It is added that the would-be incendiaries have not been discovered. Having put the Armenian question on the track of settlement, Kamil Pasha has asked the sultan to relieve him of the grand viziership, which has exhausted him and which demands the physical and mental energies of a younger man. The sultan, in reply, peremptorily declared that he could ilot dispense with his services. Oflieial news has been received here of fresh disturbances iu Erzeronm, Orfah and Zeitnu. Fifty persons have been killed and wounded at Erzeronm. BELOW THE AVERAGE. Loss of Ufa In the Gloucester Fishing Fleet Not So L<iit'ge. Gloucester, Mass., Nov. 2.—The statistics setting forth the losses of ; Gloucester fishing vessels and sailors for the year ending Nov. 1, show a large decrease as compared with those of last year. The fleet has not been us suc- <. - Jul this year as it has at some other times, but tlio loss of vessels and men is 1 low the average for the last 20 years. The figures show that 11 vessels, with a total valuation of §70,000, have been lost, while 90 men have perished. Last year 157 men were lost. Will Quit. Looking For the North Pole. New York, Nov. 2.—Explorer Lie", tenant Peary of the United States i ivy will rei>ort for duty at the Brooklyn navyyurd today. Ho has lieeu assigned for duty as a civil engineer in the department of yards and docks. His fellow oflicers at the yard state that Lieutenant Peary has given up all thought cf reaching the north pole and will settle down to routine work in the navy department. Charge* Againat Colonel Crofton. Washington, Nov. 2.—No report has been received at the war department of charges preferred against Colonel Crofton at Fort Sheridan, accused of employing enlisted men as servants. Sucb a practice is explicitly forbidden by statute, but oven if the facts are as alleged the matter would fall within the initial jurisdiction of General Merritt, the department commander. Son Shoots His Father. Perry, O. T., Nov. 2.—Dr. S. A. Briggs was flogging his 14-year-old son at Ingalls yesterday because the boy did not hoed orders about doing chores about the honso, when young Briggs palled a revolver and shot his father through the arm and hotly, from the effects of which Dr. Briggs will die. The son was arrested here. Dr. Briggs is well known.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS. Report on Trade Matters by Dnn <fc

Co. aibl Bradstreets.

New York, Nov. 2.—It. G. Dun &

Co., in their weekly review of trade today, say: The rapid recovery in cotton and the rise in sterling exchange to the point at which last exports of gold were made have not increased confidence. There is a little demand for most manufactured products, retail distribution is fairly encouraging and the closing of many works is less significant at this season than it might be at others. It is a time of waiting, and uncertainty may

naturally continue for some weeks. Wheat has declined U., cents and

corn 2L, cents in spite of many adverse reports about winter wheat. The pres- j large shipments from other countries, ! the small Atlantic exports and the large western receipts affect opinion more directly than ideas about next year’s j yield. Very large estimates of the corn } crop have depressed prices. Pork aud lard are not much changed, though hog

receipts aud packing are heavy. The larger demand for manufactured !

products has held prices of cotton goods, and even advanced some prints, iu spite

my ultimatum.

“I will accept one man for referee from the list prepared by Julian and ^ select the battleground, if he is not | willing tnat I should select the fighting i ground, I will let him select one nows- | paper man, 1 will select a second, tho j two to choose a third, and let them pick | out the place for the fight.

I have my money right here,” and ho showed it as he spoke, “and that is what talks. 1 have the the thing in my own hands now, and no club will have anything to say

about it.”

Julian Accept* the Proposition. When tho proposition to fight at once was first submitted to Julian he was not inclined to commit himself. A committee of newspaper men, who had been authorized by Manager Brady to submit the proposition to Julian and Fitzsimmons, found the former iu his room alone, the Australian being absent. The proposal to bring off the light was then submitted and the manager was asked flatly if he would fight, all legal complications being removed. He attempted to defer his answer, but being press 1 hard, finally said he would acce, . the condit.ons. A messenger from ('■vernor (.'lane - arrived soou afterward, making the se. e ofl'er the executive had made to Brady, and Julian expressed himself a. satisfied with the situation and said Fitzsimmons would fight. He was shown a dispatch telling of the proposition to bring off the tight at El Paso, but like Brady, declared

lliirttn**** Affaoted by the Drought. New York, Nov. 2.—Bradstreet’s to- I day says: The volume of general busi- j ness has be. u smaller this week, due in part to drought, although the rains dur- | irtg the latter portion of the week have j gone far to break the dry spell. West aud northwest the commeroial demand has been mainly for staples, but i with a lulling off in volume. Extremes are found at Cincinnati, where business has been dull, and at Kansas City, where it is up to the average at this time, with heavy mail orders. Distributing centers in the northwest report a reaction in demand which is likely to await the arrival of winter weather. Larger eastern business centers feel the effect of tho falling off in demand at the west, notably Boston, Philadelphia aud Pittsburg. Tho situation at Buffalo, as at other lake ports, is better, owing to an active season on the lakes. No marked changes are reported from the

Pacific coast.

Exports of wheat (flour included as 1 wheat) from Isith coasts of the United ; States and from Montreal aggregate i 2.748.000 bushels this week, against j 2.008.000 bushels last week and 2,984,- | 000 in the week one year ago. BROKE THfiOUGH THE ICE. Two Little Girl* Loho Their Live* In the

Hu finally admitted that governors and sheriffs and the like were making him nervous, and declared that he did not want to take any risks of getting “mixed up with the law.” This leaves the situation thus: Brady, for Corbett, has made a proposition to fight; Julian, for Fitzsimmons, has accepted it, and if the latter’s money goes up the battle will probably come off at a place as yet in doubt. The Maher-O’Dounell and the RyanSmith mills at Hot Springs have probably been effectually squelched by injunction proceedings in Little Rock yesterday. Deputy Sheriff Jesse Hurd, who has Fitzsimmons in custody, said that he had received orders from Governor Clarke to kill either Corbett or Fitzsimmons, or both of them, if they attacked each other daring their stay in Little

Rock.

CorlMtt and Fltz.lninnm* Meet. Little Rock, Nov. 2.—Fitzsimmons and Corbett came together here in the Capitol hotel last night, but no serious consequences followed.

Everybody expected to see a fight, but Fitz was not game. He hastoly looked up, flushed, and Corbett

ADVICES FROM CUBA.

Goinex and Maceo to Invade the West-

Nf.w York, Nov. 2.—Ambassador Palma received advices yesterday that General Gomez and General Maceo began the work of forming a junta with the view of invading the western part of the island seven days ago, and that it is probable that they are now together, as Maceo was within two days’

march of Gomez’s camp.

Lieutenants Hunchez and Salas, the two envoys who have just reached this city from the camp of General Gomez's army with important documents from the commamier-iu-chief for Palma, state that they had to travel almost entirely by night and were shot at several

times by Spanish pickets.

When they reached the coast they hired a boat and made for Nassau. They had not gone far before they saw a Spanish gunboat iu the distance. They assumed as much as possible the attitude of gentlemen of leisure out for a sail and as the gunboat passed by said, “Long live Spain.” They were not mo-
