CONVICTED

A Slip of the Tongue Sends Old Man Dniin Up For '. Life. HIS GUILTY KNOWLEDGE Of the Whereabouts of Poor Alice Cottrell'a Body Was Inadvertantly Revealed to the Jury. An Unconscious Admission On the Witness Stand Was the Convicting Evidence. Fort Wayne, Nov. 8. Charles Dunn, the old man who was charged with the foul murder of 12-year-old Alice Cottrell, has been found guiUy and sentenced to prison for life. The jury returned a verdict of murder in the first degree late yesterday afternoon. Dunn received the verdict with unmoved countenance. A formal application was made for a new trial. The jury took fourteen ballots and upon the first thirteen the votfc utood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. On the fourteenth ballot the three men came over. It is learned that upon the question of punishment the Jury first stood seven for the death penalty and five for life imprisonment. The crucial point in the evidence upon which the conviction may be said to have been based was two statements of Dunn himself on the stand. While counsel for the state was questioning him as to the incidents at the house when neighbors demanded to search his cistern for the body of the child, he was asked why he carried in a rake without having been asked to do so. "To rake up the body," was the reply. Again, when aaked why he stood so close over the opening in the cistern while the men were raking it, he answered: "To help lift out the body." These two statements, made while yet he was trying to prove that he was positive the body was not in the cistern, had weight with the jury. Strangely enough, the two lapsus linguae escaped the attention of attorneys and reporters alike during the progress of Dunn's examination. PILLi:i AI LAST 1A Hans Chans' Celebr left Cuflli. Is Fullfllliiit Ik Purpose. Pekln, Mov. 8. The death of Li Hung Chang was quiet, his vitality ebbing slowly. For a time he lost consciousness, but he showed great tenacity, rallied at midnight, became semi-conscious, partook of nourishment, and appeared to recognize his relatives. The foreign doctors left him early Wednesday, saying that nothing more could be done. His personal physician. Dr. Watt, then took charge. The controversy between the foreign and Chinese doctors had no effect on the patient, because he was already beyond hope of recovery. The flames of the procession of paper effigies, chairs and horses burned in the courtyard of the yamen to carry his spirit to Heaven, told the crowd of officials who were gathered in the narrow street outside the yamen that the end nad come. Soon afterward a procession appeared bearing a costly coffin of teakwood, beautifully lacquered. This coffin Li Hung Chang took on his trip around the world, and he brought it from Canton when he came to Pekin to settle the Boxer troubles. Since that time it had been kept In a temple here. The body was placed in the coffin this morning with the customary rites. On Sunday there will be a ceremonial corresponding to a lying in state, and all the Chinese officials will pay their respects. A separate day will be designated for the ministers of the powers. The interment will be at the birthplace of the deceased statesman, a little village in the province of An-HuL The time has not yet been decided upon. UKACIIING AN AGKKtMEM Mis Stone Case Beiri to Look Brighter Altai n. Sofia. Bulgaria. Nov. 8. Mr. Dickinson has dispatched a messenger with a reply to the brigands' proposals as formulated in Miss Stone's letter, it is understood that an agreement as to the amount of the ransom has been virtually established. The settlement as to the manner and piace of payment and the surrender of the captives presents the most difficulty, but an entente is expected soon. The brigands are not willing to cross into Turkey to obtain the money, while the Bui garian government would oppose releasing Miss Stone on Bulgarian soil. Negotiations Broken off. Constantinople, Nov. 8. No progress is reported In connection with the rescue of Miss Stone. On the contrary, it appears that the negotiations have been temporarily suspended from the Bulgarian side. An effort will be made to resume them through Salonica. Mr. Edddy, secretary of the United States legation, is having frequent Interviews with Sir Nicholas O'Connor, the.- British ; ambassador, with a view to a resumption, and proposes to rei2 Thorapia for a ttw day

CENTERYILLE Did Herself Credit in Her Reception of the Old . Soldiers. The 25th annual reunion of the 124th infantry and the 15th battery which was held at Centeryille yesterday and today, closed after dinner today, and the old soldiers are enthusiastic in their praises of the manner in which they were treated by the citizens. Ceuterville has always had the name of being the most patriotic little place in the state, and the reputation of the people for hospitality is proverbial. They surpassed themselves on this occasion. 1 There were 74 members of the two organizations there, and they were entertained free of any charge at the hall and at the homes of the citizens. The first day, Thursday, was devoted to organizing and getting acquainted. The camp fire was held in the evening at the ball, which was packed. There were many present from "this city going over and returning on the traction line. The program was as follows and was most pleasing: Song. Prayer Elder J. M. Land. Song. Opening Address Rev. L. R. Retts. Song. Response in Behalf of RegimentGeorge W. Brown. Song. . t,. Recitation Daisy King. Recitation Helen Bates, limitations Lillian Baker. -Song. Recitation Olive EKason.

The meeting of the Elks in their new quarters last evening was a very notable one. The new ball is a picture of comfort and beauty and will be enioved to the limit. There were nine new members initiated. They j were George Dougan , cd Cites, Harry Jay, Amos Lowden, Bert Medskef, Chris Lichtenfels and I. N. Drury. There were about twenty-five visitors, from Nashville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Piqua, etc The meeting closed n a very pleasant social session in which the new members all made neat addresses.

HORSE THIEF. The Man Gets Away But the Rig Is Recovered. There does not seem to be much use in a horse thief coming where the Shofer livery people get an eve on him; it is certain recovery of the

property and usually the capture of the thief. 1 X Last evening a fellow drove a horse and buggy into the stable and wanted to sell it. He ciaimed to some of the men that be bought the rigat Greensfork. He went away, probably tafc ing alarm from something that was said, leaving the rig, and saying' he would be back in a few minutes. He did not return, which is lucky for him, since he now would be in jail J he bad. He had been gone but a few minutes when inquiry came from New Paris about the rig. He ha not been seen since and probably left towu as soon as he quit the stable. This morning the owner? of the rig came over after it. The rig was taken out of the livery barn of Broc & Brown of New Paris soon after noon by the fellow who said he wanted it to drive to Clem Gaar's farm. He was a stranger to them, but seemed to know a good many people around that neighborhood. Soon after he went away with the rig a farmer named Timmons who lives east of town came in hunting for some one who had entered his hoube and got away with a suit, of clothes and an overcoat This party was seen by the neighbors on the road and it is considered certain .that be was the thief. He had the overcoat on here. He offered the ' horse for 12 here. Nature Study. (Indianapolis "entioel. Nov S ) . ' T. A. Mott, superintendent of the Richmond schools, who is attending the meeting of city and town superintendents, is an ardent advocate of nature study in the grade schools. "Nature study will be the important subject dissussed at our present meeting' said Mr. Mott at the English yesterday. The committee & -poiated to investigate the question is ready to report, and we will devote two sessions to the discussion. Nature study has been taught in the Richmond schools for some time, and many of the ot her cities have course At present tberwis do niforiity "tk the plan of teach inc. and one purpose of the discussion will be to reach an agreement as to the plan of teaching.

CONVICTS ESCAPE

Bal Gang at Leavenworth Federal Prison 3Iake a Rush. GUARDS OVERPOWERED Twenty-Six Desperate Prisoners Succeed lu Kffectiiie an Escape Alter riucky Resistance. They Have Taken t the Ymh1s an J Alined Guards Are la Hot Pursuit. Leavenworth. Kan., Nov. 8. As a result of a mutiny late yesterday afternoon at the site of the new United States prison, two miles , southeast of here, where 400 prisoners from the federal prison, in charge of 30 armed guards, were at work, one man was Kuieu. live others dangerously wounded, and 26 desperate convicts are at large. When the trouble began the rebellious prisoners had only two revolvers. These had been secreted in one of the walls of the building by some unknown person. There are two walls partly completed and tne remainder ot the site of the building ia surrounded by a high wooden stockade. Gus Parker of Ardmore, Indian Territory, one of the ringleaders of the mutiny, under pretense of a necessity, walked to the corner of the stockade where the revolvers were concealed, and under cover of some weeds, secured them without being detected. He returned to the gang and passed one ot the revolvers to Frank Thompson, a negro from South McAlester, L T.. who secreted it about his person. When 8 T. Hinds, superintendent of construction, and two unarmed guards prepared to round up the men at the end of the day's work, the two' armed convicts covered them with the revolvers, and, encouraged by the other mutinous convicts, forced the men to walk before them to the northwestern corner of the stockade, where they expected to make a rush through an opening. On the outside of the stockade was ah armed guard, and the convicts ..werrnet at. the opening by C. E. Burrows, a guard, who fought them back, but who received two shots in the neck. The convicts then rushed over to the south wall to another opening and were met by Arthur Treelfor4, an armed guard, who is in charge of all the convicts. Treelford resisted the convicts and was shot twice but not dangerously wounded. Defeated in their attempt to escape at this point, the men rushed to the guardhouse, a temporary frame structure where the arms are kept. The guarda from the outside rushed in' at this point and drove the convicts away from the guardhouse. J. P. Waldrupe, a guard, shot and killed Ford Quinn, formerly f Indian Territory. The prisoners then made a grand rush for the. main entrance, and 26 of them succeeded in escaping. Most of the escaped men are from Indian Territory. Closely followed by the guards, the men ran to a nearby forest and succeeded in evading their pursuers. The men went in the direction of Easton. Kan., and it is reported here that they have held up many farmers, taking horses and clothing en route. Forty armed guards from the federal prison are in pursuit of the convicts. Armenian Keform Pnrpnae. St. Petersburg, Nov. 8. It is reported here that France and Russia have arrived at an agreement for common action with a view to the execution of reforms in Armenia and the European provinces of the Ottoman empire guaranteed by the sultan in the Berlin treaty. They propose to invite the signatory powers to meet in conference for this object. It is expected here that all the powers will accept the invitation; but the conference could not well be held before spring. In well informed circles in St. Petersburg a fear is expressed that the present steps of France may cause matters to develop so rapidly that Russia, despite the czar's love of peace, may find herself driven into an attitude of another kind in order to safeguard her own Interests. Events in Turkey and the Balkans are regarded in political circles with great anxiety. - Yuan Shi Kai Succeeds Li.' Washington, D. C. November 8. Minister Conger at Pekin has informed the state department that Yuan Shi Kai has been appointed to succeed Li Hung Chang as Viceroy of Chi Li. He is the present Viceroy of Shang Tung province! Visited the President Washington, D. C, Nov, 8. Senator Hanna accompanied by John G. Milburn of Buffalo, at whose ho -se President McKinley died, made his first visit to the White House today since the death of McKinley. The President received them cordially, took both ' into the cabinet room

where he shook bands with the cabinet officers. Congressman Payne of New York, chairman of tbeways ad, means committee in the house, and Congressman Steele of Indiana. member of the same committee, had a conference with the President today. The President read them portions of his message on tariff and reciprocity. Golf. Tue Richmond players were in bard lines at Marion yesterday. Only the players to take part in the contest went over. It was very cold and disagreeable on the links. The results were as follows : Lillard beat Strattan 8 up. Mascollette beat H. A Dill 9 up. Gorby beat Craighead 9 up. Sweet so r beat Hill 2 up. - Dean beat W. R. Dill 2 up. Hiatt beat Hussey 4 up. This made a total of 4 against the Richmond players. Worst of all it gives Marion first place, Muceie second and Richmond third and last. There will be no more games this fall and winter. The series will be continued next year as this, or a new series may be arranged. The C. R. & M. will be in usable shape by that time and some grand times are anticipated as members of the clubs can visit back and forth when there are games instead of as this year, ocly the players going on account of the difficulties of transportation.
