JURY.DECLARES ALL GUILTY. JCacheM, Loren, nd tli, Gross Brother, Are Convicted of Postal Frauds. • ________ Washington, Feb. 27—" Guilty as indicted,” was the verdict announced by Carl Peterson, the foreman of the jury in the now famous post office conspiracy trial shortly after eight o’clock Friday night, stating at the same time that this was the verdict as to all four defendants, August 'W. Machen, late general superintendent of the rural free delivery division; George E. Lorenz, of Toledo, 0., and Samuel A. and Diller B. Gross, of this city. The jury had been out nine hours, although the verdict was reached in eight hours and 25 minutes. Immediately after the verdict was rendered Mr. Charles A. Douglass, In behalf of all four defendants, filed motions for anew trial, for an arrest of judgment and also for an appeal for the purpose of having the defendants admitted to bail. Bail was then fixed at $20,000 each, the bond of Lorenz and. the two Groffs being increased from SIO,OOO to that sum. Machen, Mr. and Mrs. Lorenz, and the Gross brothers were indicted on 12 counts alleging conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with the purchase of Gross fasteners. It was alleged that the Groffs offered George E. Lorenz, who was known to be a personal and business intimate of Machen, then superintendent of the free delivery division pf the post office department, a one-half interest in the Gross fastener for his services in securing its introduction. Lorenz received 40 per cent, of all money received from the government by the Groffs, one-half of which he turned over to Machen. Checks and drafts showing various payments by the government to the Groffs, and by the Groffs to Lorenz, and by Lorenz to Machen, were offered in evidence by the government. - .

Bail was fixed at $20,000 each. The case of Samuel Gross, one of the defendants, has not been disposed of, he having four days In which to show why sentence should not be imposed on him. The defendants who have been sentenced have appealed to the’ district court of appeals. The swiftness with which the judge acted took away the breath of the convicted conspirators. The action of the court disposes of one of the biggest post office scandal cases because it is felt here that the appeal will be dismissed.

NOT MUCH IMPRESSED. George Thought There Was Much Sound and Very Little of the Solids. If New York has a word to say to the stranger within its gates, says a correspondent of the New Orleans .Times-Dem-ocrat, it is this: “Have you succeeded at home? If not, why .do you think you will succeed where conditions are more complex and difficult?” But in New York, aa in other large cities, those who are not to be “bluffed” or discouraged and who go resolutely about their business are reasonably sure of success. Sometimes, perhaps, a little success makes more of a noise n the world than it should. One evening in a restaurant, says the correspondent, we were waited on by a real southern darky. He was so unmistakable that at last I said to him: “George.” . . “Yas’m,” was the grateful rejoinder. “You’re from the south, aren't you?’ “Yas’m. Ah’a from de south.” “How did you get up here?” • “Ah don’ know, ma’am, how Ah come. “And what do you think of New York, George?” He hesitated, ajid'then summing it up in his mind, lie (aiu: .... “New York? ’Peah’s lak dish hyeh New York es got a good deal er rattlin’ er dc dishes fer de victuals whut’s served. ’ The Most Common Disease. Yorktown, Ark., Feb. 29th.—Leland Williamson, M. D., a successful and clever local physician, says: ° “There is scarcely another form of disease a physician is called upon so often to treat as Kidney Disease. 1 invariably prescribe Dodd’s Kidney Pills and am not disappointed in their effect for they are always reliable. I could mention many cases in which I have used this medicine with splendid success, for example, I might refer to the case of Mr. A. H. Cole. “Age 31, greatly emaciated, some fever, great pain and pressure over region of Kidneys, urine 'filled with pus or corruption and very foul smelling and passed some blood. Directed to drink a great deal of water, gave brisk purgative and Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The pills were continued regularly for three weeks and then a few doses every week, especially, if patient felt any pain in region of Kidneys. Cured completely and patient performed his duties as farm laborer in four weeks.” Dr. Williamson has been a regular practitioner for over twenty years, ana his unqualified endorsement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills is certainly a wonderful tribute to this remedy.
