May S.-The trial OF James L. Smith fol
the murder Of William Ell, Fuller on the
24th OF December last was concluded at
Jerusalem to-day. he was sentenced to
the penitentiary for eighteen years. The
principal witness against him was his son,
E. j. Smith, who was undoubtedly an ac-
complete, but testified against his father to
save himself. The murder being one OF the
most brutal on record, the finding OF the
jury Is hard to understand.
at the time OF the murder full account
OF the affair was telegraphed to the Dis
patch. hIr. Fuller lived about three miles
from Boykin's depot, and left home at
daybreak for the purpose of shooting
wild turkeys from blind which he had
erected on the low-grounds OF the Me-
herrin river, on the land Of Mr.. T. n.
Ridley. AS Mr.. Fuller did not return
home that night or Christmas morning
party OF neighbors went in search OF
him and found his body few feet from
the blind, presenting horrible appearance.
a knife-wound had penetrated his right
breast, gun-shot had carried away the en-
tire right side Of his head, and his cloth ing
was badly burned by the wadding from
gun. His gun was lying across his breast,
fully loaded.
On the 18th Detective John Wren, Of
Richmond, arrived at Boykin's, and from
information received arrested James L.
Smith and E. j. Smith, his son. The
younger Smith, after being in custody about
bali an hour, confessed the murder. He
said that he and his father went to the tur-
key-blind for the purpose OF shooting tur-
keys, and had been there but few moments
when Fuller came up. A dispute arose be-
tween the elder Smith and Fuller about tie
ownership Of the blind. The lie passed
between them, when Smith shot Fuller in
the right breast with pistol, following it
Immediately with a full load OF buckshot in
the head. He then remarked to his son:
"D--n him, he is dead at last, and am
id glad Of it. He won't bother me any
more.' They made no attempt to conceal
the body OF their victim, but went home
by circuitous route. Hence it is that the
finding OF the jury is hard to understand.

DIOCESAN CONVENTION. = Philadelphia,
May 1.-THE ninety-fourth annual Conven-
ton Of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese Of
Pennsylvania assembled this afternoon in
st. Andrews church. There was a large
attendance Of clerical and lay deputies, and
the principal business transacted was the
reading OF the episcopal address by Bishop
Stevens and the nominations for the stand
ing committees. In the address the Bishop
stated he would sail for England on the 10th
instant to attend the Pan-Anglican Coun-
Gil, to be held July I'd. The address also
strongly denounces the threatened COM
munistic movement in this country. The
Bishop expresses alarm at the efforts Of COM
munistic leaders to bring about conflict
between labor and capital, which can only
result in devastation and ruin, and he eX-
horts the clergy to study this question OF
social science, and to strive to create a more
healthfui sentiment.

RICHMOND PREACHERS AT ATLANTA LAS

RIcHMoND PREACHERS AT ATLANTA LAST
SUSpAY.-At the First Methodist church at
night Rev. j. Z. Edwards, OF Virginia,
preached to a splendid congregation, which
filled the entire church, gallery and aisles.
His sermon was powerful, and was heard
with great interest.
Bishop Doggctt preached at Trinity
church Sunday morning to crowded house.
His theme was the final Judgment OF every
man on his own moral character, and he
handled it with the logical strength and
power which characterize his preaching.
There was no attempt at display, but the
sermon was simple in its grandeur, and its
power had telling effect on all who
heard it.

THE WHISKY RING AT C1NcINNAT1.-
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Commissioner Raum
has been watching the Cincinnati whlskey
ring for six months. The result is the dis
covery of fraud upon the Government,
which he estimates will reach $4,000.
This explains the reason why the Clncln,

those in every other city. This ring is sup
posed at the Department to have been IN

discovering it has been very difficult one.

T,oSDoS, May S.-The good impression

the fact that he had long interviews with

British reply to certain inquiries and pro-
posals determined upon at ST. Petersburg
