A Nobleman,s opinion.


raven, who arrived with several others of
the English nobility yesterday, goes
hence to-day to look after his property in
Colorado. He is accompanied by the
Earl of Coledon and Lord Rodney, both of
the 1st Life Guards, for hunting expe-
dition. Being asked by World repor-
er il any English farmers had emigrated
to Colorado, he replied 'No," and that
he thought it was not particularly
adapted to farming. He thought the en-
igration of English farmers to America
not likely to increase the causes now i'm
pelling them were only temporary.

Statement by Murderers.
LEBANON. Pa, Sept. 3.-Brandt and
Hummel, two of the men convicted of
lhe murder of Raber, to-day made state
ents in reference to the murder.
Brandt denies ever having had anything
to do with the murder, never solicited
Drew or Stechler, never held policy on
Raber's life, but considers it an ordinary
business transaction. He says he bought
it as others did in that neighborhood, ex-
pecting Raber to die soon, he being an
old man, and that he never was in conpir-
acy to murder him. These denials are
creating considerable discussion, as they
distinctly contradict the confessions of
Drew and Stechler, who expect to hang
for their crimes.
