tmtthe official opinion is that Lord Salisbury will succeed in forcing him into some formal declaration that will disclose nothing. '1 he gTowlng popular impression that the llmperor's visit will result in complications in Kngland's foreign relations will tend to modify the warmth of the Emperor's reception. Press comments indicate this. "Thougn the visit may be short to him," fca.VM a leatlinsc Unioniot weekly, "it is no Ian for us. Could not we have let him alone? Is it friendly thus to be superheating the hatredof France for England and increasing the ill-will of Knsftiaf Whatever maybe the meaning of the Emperor's presence here, no foreign potentate was ever received with similar elaborate preparations. The squadron which is to salute the ilohezollern to-morrow is the picfc of the British navy. Along the railway route to "Waterloo Junction every station is a mass of lloral and Hag decorations. The streets of the old town of Windsor are ablaze with color. Under the assent of the Emperor, m order to cive the public a prolonged and enhanced ereciacle, the procession Instead of parsing direct from the station to the castle will ko through the town to the loog -walk and thence up hill to the (Queen's entrance. Seen from the ramparts the whole uretch of the ronte is an immense garden flowing by day with floral radiance and by night streaming with electric lights hidden iu the shrubery. Within the castle the apartments set nsido for the Kmperor and Empress have been newly decorated. The Zuccarelli JJoom. the Kubens Room, the King's Closet aud the (Queen's Closet have been reserved lax the imperial visitors. The Kicir'a Closet, arranged as a sleeping apartment lor the Emperor, has a bedstead of Louis eizo style, with gilt pilaters bearin ir a domed canopy surmounted with ostrich feathers and draperies of preen satin embroidered with flower work. The Queen's closet, -which -will be the Emprefls'stbcd-room, has a similar bedteaa. and is upholstered in green Utrecht velvet, trimmed with gold. The Queen's heart seems set npon nnwontedexpenditure. The costliest f nrnitnre and carpets are provided for the royal rooms. Approaches and galleries. Even St. George's Chapel is bedecked beyond precedent. Windsor never saw a period of several successive days of .pageantry so magnificent. KKACniNO OUT FOK TRADC

Germans Believe the Standard Oil Will Soon Absorb All Home Companies. Berlin. July 3. Interviews with coal-oil-dealers at Berlin, both at wholesale and xetail. show a very general opinion that the Mardard Oil Company, having absorbed the big importing houses, will now try to gain control of the jobbing trade and then f the retail business of Germany. Every step is taken in exact conformity with the law, and the remedies to be proposed are likely to prove only temporary and ineffectual. It is generally believed here that even the Rothschilds wilf Lave to yield to the American company. liobert Salinger, president of the United (Jerman petroleum-works, a corporation "which has extensive refineries in Hanover, aid he had little doubt that the American company would sooner or later control the entire German market. As soon as they liave completed their arrangements with the Rothschilds they will have all Germany in their power. We have a few oil wells in Alsace, and there aro also some in Galicia. but their ontput is so small that it plays no 2art in supplying the German demand. "You speak about the Rothschild." the correspondent said: "But director Gaede, the representative of Nobel Bros., showed rue statistics the other day indicating that the product of the Rothschilds wells was email as compared with the total of Russia's production." "Then I can omy say that Mr. Gaede is mistaken. The Rothschild wells may cot liavo produced much oil. but they have xnuch territory which is capable of (treat improvement. Besides they control the product of many wells which they do not nominally own." "The only branch of the trade in which we cow have a good held," continued Mr. Malinger, "is that of axle grease and machine oil. Of the former German state railways alone consume from 12.000,000 to 35.00O.00O kilograms a year. The private demand is even more than that, as is also the case with machine oil. Germany has a protective tariff of 12.50 marks (about S-Xl) Per hundred kilograms on crude oil. from which these aro made. Here we snake a successful fight for a short time, ljut if the great company, with unlimited capital, cares to lose some money, it can irive ns even from that held. The only thing left then will be to turn our petroleum-works into distilleries." , Mr. Malinger thought that Nobel Bros, would also gladly sell oat to the American company rather than risk a losing fight. '1 he biggest coal-oil merchant in Berlin is Louis Levisohn. He thinks the American company will not be content nntil it has control of the retail business in Germany. -The Rothschilds,' he said; "what will they dof The Americans say to them. 'You o east to Africa, to Asia, wherever yon please; we want Europe west of the Kusrtian frontier.' The Standard lowers prices mid makes the Kothschilds howl. They Jjavetocome to terms. Add to this that .Russian oil is far inferior to the American product. The German newspapers scream aud protest. That is all the Kood it will do. The government can do nothing, it caunot impose a protective tariff, for we have nothing to protect. If nn additional duty were put on petroleum the poor people of Germany would be the sufferers and not the Standard. Our hope is that as they found the absorption of the large importing firms so dllticult they will hesitate to undertake the work of reorganizing the entire wholesale and retail trade of Germany. But in time they will do it." Such are the opinions of the trade in general. IHSMARCK WILL NOT TALK. Keiuses to Discuss Ills Retirement from Politics or Deny Von Monster's Story. FuiEWticiisRUHE, July 3. An Associated Press correspondent to-day called upoa Prince Bisir.arck, and directed the latter' s attention to the allegations made recently in the London Times by M. De Blowitz, concerning statements attributed to Count von Munster. The statement was to the etfect that Count von Mun&ter. describing I'nnce Bismarck's fall, declared that he heard Emperor William, a year before he died, came General von Caprivi as l'rirce Bismarck's successor as Chancellor, should he, the Emperor, be compelled to discard the Prince, who was becoming to overbearingly headstrong. Von Monster Is said to have also recalled another occasion on which the old Emperor complained of the Chancellor's advancing his son. Count Herbert Bismarck, as the greatest act of despotism in politics ever recorded, but which, the Emperor said, must be borne because the eervices of Prince Bismarck were still needed. In to-day's interview Prince Bismarck said that he was not willing to discuss Count Von Monster's alleged utterances of the events which led np to his, the Chancellor's, retirement from ollice. The Prince's secretary and porsoral physician. Dr. Crysande. on the other hand, said that the Times story had been completely contradicted by the German press, and it was so obviously untrue that a formal denial of the so-called facts which it contained was not necessary PA KNELL'S CAUSE WANING. His Marriage Has Not Helped Him Politically How lie Was Received in Carlow. London, July a. Mr. Parnell's marriage has not helped his cause, as he and his friend last week confidently hoped it would. The action of the Irish bishops, yesterday, in reaffirming their declaration that Mr. Jfarnell was unfit to be the leader of the Irish people, shows that no quarter will be given him by the clergj-. This is considered to be a final blow to Mr. Parnell's eause.and the reception which he met with at Carlow yesterday shows that the people have ceased to pay any attention to him. At Marshall, it may be added, Mr. Parnell addressed a meeting at which oulv thirty people were present. Archbishop" Walsh has written a letter to Mr. Thomas Sexton. 3!. 1'., expressing the greatest gratitude for the splendid aervire rendered by Mr. Sexton and his colleagues in Parliament during the discussion of the Irinh land bill. The Archbishop says that ' although they did not win every point, they 6till gained enough to redeem the bill from being rathr a corse than a blessing to Ireland. The Caxlow priests, the majority of whom

are in favor of the anti-Parnellite candidate for Pari iament, are greatly influencing tbe people except at Bagnalstown, where Father O'Neill, in spite of the manifesto of the bishops isnued this morning, has published letter publicly reproving his curates fov their attitude, and challenging them to produce written authority lrom the bitbop for defying his authority. Mr. Parnell held a successful meeting at Teemaug to-day. He condemned the House of Lords for its action regarding the land bill, and accused the landlords and Healyites of conspiracy. Afterward he vainly essayed to speak at Ballon. There he was received by the priests and the bitterest anti-Parnelhtee 'with boots and groans shoutHof "Kitty. Kitty," etc.. and a banner wasdrsplaved representing a kettle, insenr "Kitty, Kitty damnation, but him scalded." The police prevented a riot.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Doers Invade Mahhonaland, but Are Driven Hack by the English Police. Capetown, July 3. A body of armed Boers, composed of about one hundred men and their families, cmeaed the Limpopo yesterday, thus raiding Mashoualaud and taking the first steps toward founding the Republic of the North. These men were the pioneers of the big "treck," which has been so long talked of, and to prevent which President Kruger promised to use his utmost indeavors when he was informed that the British government would consider any such invasion as au act of hostility against tbe ;neen. The pioneers of the big "treck" seem, however, to have met with a reception somewhat different from wh.it they exported. They were no eo ner in Mahonalmd than t bey were met by police and troops in the employ of the British South Afncau Company, who drove the Boers back and arrested their leaders. Victory for Chilian Insurgents. Londo July 4. The Times correspondent at Lisbon says a dispatch has been received there from Chili stating that Balmacedas troops at Ifuasco ottered no resistance, and fled in disorder. They retreated toward Vallenar, ten leagues in the interior. The road from Vallenar to Santiago being bad, the congressional army ' will probably be content to remain at Huasco, which is the key to the whole situation. If possession is also taken of Vallenar, Balmaceda will be compelled to fly to the south, as to the north the troops would be lost in the waterhss desert of Atacama. The congressional party probably fear a land attack at Laserna, while the lieet attacks Coquitnbo. India 31 ay Have No Grain for Export. GALorTTA, July 3. The weather has improved during the week, but mure rain is wanted everywhere, except in Burmah and Assam. Tbe prices of grain and rice are stationary, and in no direction of the country are they rising to any alarming extent. It is too tarlv. however, to precict a widespread failure of the crops, but if the present conditions continue for another filteen days there will be grave cause, to fear an extensive crop failure. Extensive swarms of locusts are appearing throughout the whole of northern India, and they have also appeared in the province of Bengal, where they are rarely seen. Independent Bavaria. London, July 3 The action of Bavaria in returning an offensive reply to a communication from the imperial government relative to a stricter oversight of the press as to comments on imperial affairs, has aroused an uneasy feeling in Berlin, where it had been hoped that particularism was losing ground in Bavaria. This incident, however, shows that the Bavarians are as jealous as ever of their independence, and not inclined to accede anything to the empire that is not absolutely called for by the federal compact. Work logmen's Schools. London, July 8. The workingmen's schools, found d by tbe Social Democrats in Berlin are meeting with great success. The six schools are already attended by over 2,700 working people. The lessons most largely studied are those on the German language, writing, short-hand, political economy, history and natural science. The schools are not altogether favored by the authorities, to whom the political economy lessons are especially obnoxious. Climate of Europe Growing Colder. Paris, July 3. Apropos of the recent hot weather in the United States and the cool weather in Europe M. Camille Flammanon, the astronomer, said the other day that for the past rive years a change has been going on in Europe, and both the vrinters and summers are growing cooler. But, he said, he has noticed no change of this kind in the United States. He attributes the excessive rains of the last two months to the coldness in the atmosphere. Cable Notes. The Czar and Czarina are enjoying a cruise in the Finland archipelago. A section of the 'bus men of Berlin have struck for higher wages aud fewer hours cf labor. The movement threatens to become general. The Melbourne At hletic Club offers James Corbett. of California, &",000 to meet the winnerof the approaching Goddard-Choyn-ski contest. Hon. William Henry Smith annonnced that it is the intention of the government to finish the present session of the British Parliament at the end of the month. A Buenos Ayres dispatch says; "The budget estimates the revenue at $29,000,010 gold aud 8.000,000 paper, and the expenses at l 1,000.000 gold and $VG0,(KX) paper. While volunteer liremeu were working on a burning bouse in Dargon. Germany, yesterday, tbe structure collapsed and four of the firemen were killed and five dangerously iujured. The Bussian rye crop will be bad. and there will be no surplus for export. Largo German orders have been sent to Canada und the United States. It is t ported that liussia is also buying supplies in America. Henley is alive with visitors anxious to witness the coming regatta, and there is the usual scene of brilliancy aud excitement on the river, enlivened by animated crews of all kinds and with all colors of garb. Mr. Augustine Rose, a representative of the Chilian Congressional insurgtnt party, made an unsuccessful attempt, yesterday, to act the court of Great Britain to rerognize the Chilian Congress as the government of Chili. Sir James Fergusson, Political Secretary of tho British Foreign Otlice. announced in the House of Commons, yesterday, that provision would be made for the royal commission which is to provide for the representation of England at the world's fair. The British Labor Commission had a lively session yesterday listening to evidence in favor of municipal control of the ducks. Earl Derby lost his temper and hhowed on arrogant impatience of the presence of workingmen. His Lordship's manner was not calculated to encourage the testimony from that class. It is said that the Czar has lately shown signs of reconciliation with the Grand Duke Michat-lovitch. who recently incurred his deep displeasure by marrying the beautiful tonnteh Demerenburg, daughter of Prince Nicholas of Nassau, and descendant of the Knnsian poet Kunkin. The Czar was deeply tuoved by the death of the Grand Duke's mother, and has ever since indicated a purpose to restore the young man to favor. Mrs. II. C. Duncan, whose husband, K. C. Duncan, of Washington, is shortly to be placed on trial on the charge of murderously assaulting hr by beatiug her over the head with a stone, has almost entirely recovered from the etlects of the injuries she received. Mrs. Duncan has made a statement of the circumstances connected with the atlair. which statement has been forwarded to the Treasury Department for use at the coming trial in Wales.

SWINDLERS COME TO GRIEF

Another "Get - Kich - Quick" Order Squelched bj the Federal Authorities. One Officer of a Financial Co-Op ration Con cern of Wheeling Arrested and Warrants Issed for Others Thousands of Dopes. Wheeling. W. Va.. July 3. The United States authoritiesswoopeddownonthe Fraternity of Financial Co-operation, to-day, too late to catch the big birds engaged in it, however, but they arrested J. G. Newell, of Philadelpnia, in charge, and stopped all operations. Warrants are also out for R. T. Kuby. C. F. Dollmeir, supreme treasurer; K. Wintield Lukens, general secretary; F. C.(Faris, Loring Chambers, T. C. Hughes. Rose Morau, Ida Fay, Emma Walton and Cyrus Dixon for complicity in the crime, aud telegrams have been sent to the United States marshals at Philadelphia, Washington. Baltimore, Cleveland and other points to arrest them on eight on the charge of using the mails for fraudulent purposes. The bank books of the fraternity show that between May 1 and June 12 less than one month, they deposited in the Exchange Bank of this city $123,742.32, and in six weeks 146.000 was deDosited. The concern still has $125,000 in bank here, against which there were checks of but $29,170. The concern has fourteen thousand victims in New Englnnd and tbe Eastern and Central States, not counting the Western. Special Postothce Inspectors Naylor and Hooton have been here for several days working up the canes against the several short-time endowment orders th;t have their national headquarters in Wheeling, claiming to be chartered under the laws of this city. This is the second order of the kind that has gone under here in a week, and another is still doing business. Lukens and Dolimer, of Philadelphia, have left the city and e'uded arrest. Within the past three mouths these concerns have scooped in more than a million dollars. On Tuesday of this week a Cleveland attorney levied an attachment on the fraternity's funds in the Exchange Bank here, in behalf of certihc.-Ue-holders in that city who claimed they had been swindled bv the order. The snpreme officers heard that tbe postofUce officials were after them and sent their office supplies to a junk-dealer. Among these supplies were over $3,000 worth of printing, advertising circulars, blank books, etc., which sold for about ? 15. The officers did not take tbe precaution to destroy the files of letters they had from tbeir victims, and they, also, were purchased by the junk, dealer. The postoftice inspectors went to the junk-dealer aud purchased these letters, which furnished the most damaging evidenoo against the short-term men. They tell a story of fraud seldom, if ever, equaled in the history of skininsurance games. There are also damaging letters passiuir between the officers of tbe fraternity. The postmaster stated today that every mail still brings in hundreds of dollars through tbe money-order and registered letter divisions, addressed to the short-term people, but that the money is being returned to the senders. RETUKN OF MINISTER DOUGLASS. Not Compelled to Stay Indoors During the Recent ReTolation Onlr Sixty Killed. Washington, July S. Hon. Frederick Douglass. United States minister to Hayti, who arrived in New York to-day from II ayti, reached Washington to-night. Mr. Donglass is home on a vacation. To tbe Tost reporter to-uight he said the story that he was compelled to remain indoors during the recent trouble in Hayti was a hoax. Speaking of the revolution, Mr. Douglass said for a time things were exceedingly uncomfortable. Tho bullets whistled around in a manner which would make any one but a veteran feel that he was in close quarters. Mr. Douglass said he had just come in from his country place, and he got to the consulate without losing much time. The revolutionists may haye thought they were going to ha?e an easy time of it, but they were badly in error. President Ilippolyte was equal to the emergency and they were soon glad enough to Hee to the mountains, lie had warned them it would be dangerous to make the attack, but they thought otherwise. They only numbered about sixty, but it appeared to him, said Mr. Douglass, that tbey had a million guns and knew how to use them. All is quiet now. he added, and he did not think there would be any further trouble soon. Ilippolyte has taught the would-be revolutionists a lesson which they will not forget. He has shown himself a levelheaded man, and stands higher with his people than ever before. The President is exceedingly popular in Port-au-Prince. The sooner Hayti. Chili and other South American countries learn the art of electing men and keeping good ones, said Mr. Douglass, and not trying revolutionary measures, the better it will be for all concerned. Tbey do not now seem to realize this, but be believed tbe time is coming when they will. There was no truth iu the report that the State Department had recalled him. BOLD ROBBERY OF DIAMONDS. Old Trick Successfully Flayed on a Nashville Jeweler by Two Hen. Very Nashville, Tenn., Jnly 3. One of the boldest robberies ever committed in this city was perpetrated this afternoon et E. Wiggers's jewelry store on Union street About 2 o'clock Mr. Wiggers and the colored porter were in the store alone, two clerks having gone to dinner. A young man of medium size, heavy built, with dark hair and mustache, attired in a neat fitting suit, entered the store and asked to be shown some silverware. Mr. Wiggers proceeded to tbe rear of tbe store where the silver case is kept and proceeded to show bin goods to the customer. The young man seemed bard to suit, and after requiring several pieces on the top shelf to be taken down he finally left without purchasing, walking leisurely away. After replacing the silverware Mir. Wiggers walked to the front of the store and was startled to find ane of his trays, in which the jewels are kept in the show case, lying under tbe counter. Upon examination of the case it was found that the tray was the one in which the diamonds were displayed, aud that it was empty, the entire lot, valued at $3,000, being gone. The tray contained cluster and solitaire diamond rings, ear-rines and studs, ranging in vulne from 25 to $150 each. Mr. iggers thinks that while he was waiting on this man his "pal'' slipped into the store and took the jewelry, emptying it into his handkerchief or satchel. ard then quietly slipped out It is thought f .e robbery was tbe work of professiouals. Detectives were immediately put on the case. Arrbbifthop Defied by Catholic Platers. Chicago, July 3. -For some years it has been the custom of members of the Servite Sisters and the Little listers of the Poor, two of the charitable orders of the Roman Catholic Church, to sit in the vestibule of the City Treasurer's office on pay-day and solicit alms from the city employes as they came out with their pay envelopes. Yesterday Father Muldoon. chancellor of the diocese, by direction of Archbishop Feehan, ordered the sisters to desist from this practice as unseemly. The Little Sisters of the Poor obeyed the mandate, but the Servite Sisters denied the authority of the Archbishop in the matter, and one of their number continued to ask alms at the door to-day. What action the Archbishop will take in view of this open defiance of his authority is not known. Sixteenth Annual Saengerfeit, Kkwark, X. J.. July 3. The sixteenth annual Sangerfest was inaugurated this evening by a reception to visiting societies and a torch-light procession. Tbe city's f rivate and public buildings are handsomey decorated for the occasion, and everything wears a holiday aspect. For months the singing societies and private citizens hve been preparing for this event. The big Caledonian Park and two other parks haye been secured for the festival A mam

moth concert hall has been erected, and about fGO.000 has been spent in preparations for the fest It is expected that fourteen thousand singers will participate in tbe prize contest. An orchestra of two hundred pieces will furnish the music. The Judaesare Dudley Buck. Max Urun. Henry Zollinger and Adolph Xeuendorf; for the King of the Fest, tbe bust of Franz Schubert. The united singers of these societies will compete: Brooklyn, Haltitnore, Troy, Philadelphia, New York and Trenton. Each city's combined chorus will select its own song. None of the Newark societies, as U the custom, will be allowed to compete for any of the prizes. The prize singing for individual societies will be divided into three classes. There will be three songs of each class. YARD I1CST TESTIFY Ralinsr by a -Philadelphia Court as to the Powers of the Councils Committee,

Philadelphia, July 8. Presiding Judge Allison, of the Conrtof Common Pleas, this morning handed down a decision of the court upholding the authority of the City Councils to sppoint a committee vested with powers to subpana witnesses and place them under oath before receiving their testimony. The decision of the court arose through a suit in equity brought against Henry II. Yard, who refused to be sworn or to testify before the Keystone Bank investigating committee. The refusal of Yard to be sworn and the subsequent entering of a suit by the city solicitor to compel him to submit to being sworn raised a very delicate question of constitutional law. Yard has been indicted by the grand jury for criminal conspiracy with ex-City Treasurer Bardsley to unlawfully use publio funds. The contention of Yard's couusel in their arguments before the Court of Common Pleas was that the City Councils had no authority to appoint a committee vested with powers to compel citizens to appear before them and testify under oath, and that iu addition, under the Constitution of the United States, every man is guaranteed the right to answer no questions before a tribunal of justice that will tend to criminate himself. Tbe opinion of the court, in addition to atlirmmg the right of tbe Councils to appoint the committee, was that Yard must appear before that committee and submit himself to be sworn. Under the bill of rights he could refuse to answer any questions that he thought would incriminate himself. The remedy of the committee then is to appeal to the courts, submit to them the questions asked Yard and tbe court will decide whether they are of a nature to incriminate him. Suit was entered to-day in the United States Circuit Court by Robert M. Yardley, receiver of the Keystone National Hank, against Henry H. Yard for about gl.OuO.OOO of unpaid notes and overdrafts alleged to be due the bank by Yard. Dank Examiner Drew Dlsmlnsed. Washington, July 8. Bank Examiner Drew, of Philadelphia, was at the Treasury Department for several hours to-day. He had a conference with Secretary Foster and Comptroller Lacey in regard to his connection with the Keystone National Bank of Philadelphia, and was informed, it is said, that his services were no longer required by the government, but whether he was dismissed or was allowed to resign could not be learned. An official announcement on tbe subject was to have been made this afternoon, but it was subsequently decided to defer until Monday the announcement which is supposed to include the correspondence ou the subject DOWN AN AIR SHAFT. sA An Iron Roef Worker Drops One Unndred and Twenty Feet and Lives. New Yobk, July S. Robert Ellison, a young Swede, living at No. 427 Amsterdam avenue, and employed by the Collins ironworks, was at work yesterday on the top of the ten-story Holland House, now building at No. IN) Fifth avenue. With three other men he was constructing an iron water tank on the roof. The iron-workers had arranged a loose platform of boards to work on. This jutted out over a square air shaft, about twenty feet across, running down the center of the building through its entire height Ellison had been standing on these boards, but at the request of one of the .'other men moved aside to step on the roof. He set his foot on the loose end' of planking; it tilted, and ho fell more than 120 feet down tbe shaft. His fall was broken by bosrds protruding from windows opening into tbe shaft from the various floors below, but hisell'orts to grasp the first of these and save himself were fruitless, for they snapped beneath the weight of his falling body. He crashed through the skylight at the bottom of the shaft breaking a light board scaffolding beneath, and brought up on the floor. Tbe terrific fall did not render him unconscious. He was able to indicate by pointing where he was most hurt when, after a delay of half an hour, an ambulance arrived. At the New York Hospital it was found that his left thigh was broken in two F laces and that he had many contusions, nternal injuries will declare themselves, doubtless, when he gets over the shock. Ho is young and strong and be may live. MURDER IN TIIE FIRST DEGREE. CoL IT. Clay King Convicted of Killinc David 1L Fo8tont the Memphis Lawyer. Memphis. Tenn., July 3. Without the intervention of a higher court, II. Clay King, tbe slayer of David H. Poston, will pay the penalty of the law. In anticipation of the fact that the jury would be ready with their verdict this morning, the Criminal Court was crowded with an eager.throng. who had watched the case from its inception. About ten tainutes to 9 o'clock Judga Dubose put in an oppearance, and live minutes later the familiar sound of the gavel was heard, and Deputy Perkins announced the opening of court. At 0 o'clock the jury riled in and took their positions in a standing posture in front of the jury-box. The defendant surrounded by his son Houghton, who has been his right bower throughout the loog and tedious trial; his son-in-law, Mr. Brooks; his brot her-in-law, Mr. Haughton, of Aberdeen, Miss.; his attorney, Cqlonel Weatherford; Judge Greer, and General McCleary, of Texas, sat by nervously tugging at his beard. In answer to the court's inquiry: "Have you agreed upon a verdict?'' Clerk Hunter said: "We the jury find tbe defeudant guilty of murder in the first degree." There was no apparent motion on the part of King, occasioned by this announcement, but he sat gazing steadfastly iu the faces of the jury, preserving tbe same calm indifference that has characterized his beuriDg throughout tbe trial. Judge Greer, of the counsel for defense, at once made a motion for a new trial, which will be argued in a few days. Losses by Fire. Eppino, X. H., July 3.

This charming city of &50 inhabitants has reached such a level of municipalo-psyebm existence that every body is somebody else's medium, aud, so the chrouicle goes in the last number of the Journal of the Society of Psychical Kesearcb, "The spirits kept parties in Cuba posted in the wheat market, noting all the ehanges from three to four days ahead. Thousands have beeu made here.' "Oh, for a lodge in this Missouri town!" no doubt will be the thought in every broker's mind on reading the calm announcement of your Cuba, Mo., medium. Why should this speculative spirit and the friendly translating, materialising medium waste their inliuences on the air ot Cuba, Mo., with Its 5TX) souls, when all Chicago would worship at its table-tipping shrine, and e'en New York would not forego the pleasure of knowing the wheat market quotations "three or four days ahead!" Think of it. "three orjfour days ahead!' Is it possible there are any citizens of Cnba, Mo., who are not yet millionaires! Is it possible that the streets of Cuba blest abode of a wiseacre spirit, the astral shape, no doubt, of some over-wine broker whose lant thought was of tbe wheat pit and last wish for a sale of January is it possible that this blest city's streets are not of tiuest adamant, and its vistas like "apples of gold in pictures of silverf" buch a public benefactor as this prophetic spook oertainly must be employed in tbe public service for tbe general good of the city. If, however, Cuba. Mo., has never recognized other than in the way of "thousands ' the money value of this wraith, will they not reut out the influence to other less favorite centers? In this way an honest dollar could be turned and this most puissant municipality could have the satisfaction of seeing fortunes made all over tbe country by the mere Rending out of special bulletins to patrons marked, "confidential.' to run as follows: "Buy September at IT ure to sell at 90."

Finally, through a rift in tbe clouds not fifty yards ahead, wo saw the spotless white of tbe loug-looked-forsDow-lield. With a feeble shout we pushed forward, but when we reacbed its edge our worst fears were realized. It was terribly steep, being at an angle of about forty degrees, and the crust was a coating of hard slippery ice, the thickness of pasteboard. .Through a break in the clouds we saw that it exteuded downward to timber-line, fully I, 500 feet, as steup as the roof of a house and smoother than the smoothest glass. How broad it was wo conld ouly coujecture. As we came up Kellogg struck the crust with the butt of his gun. and I threw a rock upon the surface, which went sliding and bounding down the steep face with terrific velocity. We looked at each other in despair. "It's no use," I said. "Not a bit," was the answer. We sat down and talked it over. To retrace our steps was out of the question, and we could not climb to the top of the field, probably a thousand feet, in our weakened condition. Suddenly Kellogg leaped to his feet and rushed toward the slippery mass, crying out, "Come on, wo'vo got to do it. I'll take mine this way." Without a second thought, in my hopeless desperation, I lollowed. By using his gun us a brace. Kellogg kept his feet; but 1 slipped aud fell on all fours, and began sliding down. Iu a wild frenzy I tried to drive my bare fingers through the crust, but only succeeded in tearing the skin oil them. Luckily, I had retained my ride, and by a frantic eilort drove it, muzzle tint, through the hard crust, and came to a stop, having gone about twenty feet Had it not been for this fortnnate move my body would bave been hurled to the bottom of the gorge, more than a thousand feet below, and mangled beyond all semblance ot human form. Looking up at my companion. I saw that he had turned away his head, unwilling to be a witness of my horrible fate; but as I called out to him he looked around, and I enw a face so white and horror-stricken that I can never forget it. Cold beads of sweat stood on my forehead, and 1 felt that my courage was ail gone. The experience of that awful moment almost unnerved roe, and I was weak and helpless as a little ohild. Lying on my face, I held on tightly to the ritie, driven deep throutrh the crust. How to regain my footing was a puzzle. Kellogg started to come down to me, and it was with difficulty that I persuaded him to desist. At last I hit on a plan. Holding on to the ritie with one hand, with the other 1 drew my pocket-knife, and, openiDg it with my teeth, cut two holes in the crust for ray feet, and atter much effort stood upright. Hot we were still in a bad fix. Kellogg called out to me to break holes through the erupt for my feet with the butt of the gun. Although not more than twenty feet distant, he could hardly make himself heard above the roar of the storm. Hut the suggestion was a good one ind proved our salvation. We moved slowly forward, breaking a hole in the ice for each stt-p. It was se ere treatment to sive valuable guni, but they had to sutler in the best interests of their owners. Slowly and carefully we moved forward, occasionally stopping to rest and speak words of encouragement to each other, for now wehad the rimt gleam of hope for five loug. terrible hours. Although very weak physically, our minds were murh clearer than an hour before, and we eveu went so far as to chad eaeh other a little. Hut we had plenty ot fears yet. Once my heart imped as Kellogg slipped audcame down on both kness, clawing frantically at the air; but he regained his feet without difficulty, and we pushed on. Altogether we were over an hour in crossing that terrible field. How the New Tax Law Works. JffW Castle Courier. The man who has at interest pars II. :.
