ATLANTA, Ca, May THE jury in the
Cox case was out all night and came in at
noon to-day to be recharged in full. At a
quarter to A P. M. they came in and an
noupced that they had agreed upon the
following verdict: "We, the jury, find the
prisoner guilty, and Recommend that he
be punished by imprisonment for life in the
penitentiary." Judge Hillyer sentenced
Cox to be confined in the penitentiary, or
such other place as the Governor may
direct at hard labor for aud during his
natural life.
General Gartnell gave notice that the
defense would make motion for new
trial, and praying writ of sapersedeas.
Execution of tie sentence was thereupon
stayed twenty days. This penalty is virtu-
ally the extreme of the law in this State,
as the law passed with Alstons aid at the
last session Of the Legislature, giving the
jury the right to Recommend life imprison-
ment in all cases of murder as they see fit,
in effect abolishes the death penalty. Cox
is thus the first man convicted of murder
who receives the benefit of that law. The
verdict is received with general approval.

Terrible Dynamite Explosion.

STRATFoRD, Ont, May GA more care
ful examination shows the damage done by
the dynamite explosion at the Grand Trunk
depot to be much greater than was ex-
peoted. The houses around the freight shed
were nearly all wooden buildings and sew
eral were blown into minute fragments.
Some fifty cars were blown into splinters
and as many more damaged. The debris
as now lying thickly scattered on and
around the track. Mr.. Flynn, the checker,
who has an office near the entrance of the
yard, is among the badly in jured. Two Of
the clerks, Messrs. Drysdale and Porter,
were in the Office at the time and had
narrow escape. The building was shatter-
ed into thousand fragments, and how
they escaped unhurt is miracle. One man
walking toward the freight house was
blown over the fence and sustained only
few scratches. A fragment of iron weigh
ing over pound was driven through a
window Of the Grown hotel half mile
from the scene of the explosion. The
shock was felt in all the surrounding
towns, and it WAS supposed to be an earth
quake.
The car on which the explosion occurred
was freighted at Montreal for Amburst-
bury and contained thirty packages, which
were entered as blasting powder. They
were shipped on account of Vanderbilt to
be used in blasting at the Detroit tunnel.
When the explosion occurred the cars were
being shifted in the yard. The damage
will exceed $4,000. George Hawkins, a
car DEALER had both his eyes put out by
splinter and is not expected to live. Joseph
Humphrey is badly cut about the head and
face, but may recover Alfred Lamb was
badly injured.
