Willie Blacks Slayer Found Guilty Of
Murder in the First Degree.

TIE trial of George Price. the colored
man who last summer shot his employer,
Mr. Willie Black, at the latter's tobacco
warehouse OH Front street. came to an end
in the Court of Common Pleas at five min
utes to 10 o'clock this morning
Judge Longworth charged the jury last
night in most impartial manner.
The jury took seven ballots, The last one
shortly after o'clock to-day.
When they answered that they were
ready Judge Longworth opened Court. and
the room was at once filled by an anxious
audience The prisoner was brought up
from Jail, and when he took his seat was as
quiet as a lamb.
On being questioned whether the jury
had arrived at verdict they replied that
they had. The verdict was murder in the
first degree, and which meaus hanging, was
read by the Clerk.
The result seemed to satisfy the crowd,
who gave their appreciation to the sane in
loud voice.
The prisoner sat stolid and said nothing,
although the Sheriff said that Price inti-
mated that he was going to make long
harangue.
After the reading OF the verdict the Court
at once adjourned until 10 o'clock tomor-
| row morning.
The pri oner was remanded to Jail and
would speak to no one.

The ballot stood as follows:

1t is said that the colored man on the
jury voted on the first two ballots for muir
der in the second degree, and that w. H.
Adams held out to the last ballot.
The jury was composed as follows:
Ralph G. McCracken. p. Stout, VIM. H.
Pritchard, David Ii. Levi, Caleb Finch
paugh, Homer Ross. George Grain, James
Applegate 8. w. Rittenhouse, w. H. Ad-
ans, john Williams and VIM. C. Schlueter.
Price in jail this morning stated that he
was suffering badly from his strained nery-
Gus system, caused by the excitement dur
the attack in Court OH Major Blackburn
The Criminal Bailiff, Joe Moses, and the
Deputy Sheriff prepared Price last night
for the result. Price confidently expected
a verdict of murder in the second degree
but when the result was announced this
morning, he. as stated above, took matters
as coOlly Us if the a affair did not concern him.
When Price was locked up in his cell in
Jail, many OF the convicts there were seen
to change money in the corridors, the men
evidently having made bets on the verdict.
The Jail officials are afraid that Price
will make all attempt on his life and there
fore have placed special guard over him.
Price will be sentenced next Saturday by
Judge Longworth, that being the regular
sentence day. 80.
The attorneys for Price have not single
objection to offer, except that Major Black
burn acted for the State, and therefore they
this morning made no motion for new
trial. This may be done, however, later
on. - m
After the return of the verdict the jury,
as is customary, rendered vote of thanks
to the presiding Judge. the Sheriff and as
sistants and the Criminal Bailiff, for the
attention paid them, and were thereupon
dismissed.
The day for the execution of the SEN
tence must in this county be deferred for
at least one hundred days.

Rich Men in New York.
New York Times.1

It is said, and doubtless truly, that in
1880, little less than fifty years ago,
only one citizen of New York, John
Jacob Astor, was worth more than ST.
100000. Nothing can better illustrate
the growth of wealth here than this fact,
which now seems surprising enough.
Millionaires are very plenty in these
days; so very plenty that they are hardly
taken into account. Every few days
somebody dies leaving an estate valued
at over $1,000, 900; ard yet the mass of
our old inhabitants may not even have
heard his name. It has been asserted
that there are at present in the metropo-
lis fully 500 men whose property is esti-
mated at 81 ,000,0 600 and upward.
Such citizens as William H. Wander
bilt, John Jacob Astor, Henry Hilton,
George Law, Moses Taylor, Royal
Phelps, A. A. Low, Peter Cooper, Alex
ander and Robert L. Stuart, Horace B.
Clafin, E. J. Jafray, James Gordon
Bennett, William H. Appleton, August
Belmonts G. P. Huntington, Anthony
J. Drexel, Levi P. Morton, James Brown,
Amos R. Reno, and dozens of others who
might be named, are presumed to be
millionaires over and over again. Half
a century has made wondrous changes
here in other things than private for
tunes. Then the city had little more
than 100000 people; now, including ad-
jacent towns and the population properly
ours within radius Of so miles Of Union
Square, it includes not far from $1,000.
