WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-It is pretty
certain that Guiteau will not obtain a
new rial. The story ofthe discovery
of news paper in the rooms occupied
by the jury has very suspicious look,
and the fact that the paper, it is claim
ed, was found in the apartments by a
man who is a detective by profession
and who is engaged in obtaining evi-
dence in a noted divorce suit is a Cir
cumstance which will cause the COVER
nment attorneys to give the matter a
very close investigation. Indeed Dis
trict-Attorney Corkhill SAID to-day that
he did not propose to allow the Gui-
team jury to be insulted, as he cousid-
cred that they were insulted, by these
statements as to the newspaper.

ST. LOUIS has added another muir
derer to her already remarkable list.
This time it is case of more than
usual attrocity, being nothing short of
the deliberate murder by choking, of
an aged woman by her grandson,
whose only excuse was the fact that
she had refused him money to con-
tinue a life Of dissipation and idleness.
The victim was Mrs. Sarah H. Doris,
wife Of Gen. Doris, aged seventy
years. She was found dead IN her bed
Sunday morning. Russell Brown is the
name of the young monster, and he
was assisted by one his worthless as
sociate named Patrick McGlew'
Both are now under arrest.

When Will Guiteau Hang.

WASHINGTON, January 26. The sub
ject of Gulteau's hanging is row being
thoroughly discussed and it seems a
certainty that he cannot be hanged be-
fore July. Indeed the law OF the Dis
trict is that no person found guilty OF
murder can be hanged until thirty
days after the expiration of the term
following that at which he may be SEN
tie iced. The present term began Mon
day and Guiteau will be sentenced dur
ing it. The next ie:m will probably
end June l and thirty days from that
date will have to elapse before Guiteau
can be executed.

THE CLOSING GENE.

The closing scenes in the Guiteau
trial were tragic enough. Intense si-
lence settled over the vast audience,
and the prisoner sat with blanched
features as one by one the twelve men,
who for seventy-three days had sat
patiently in judgment, responded "guil-
ty as indicted My blood be upon
your heads; God will avenge this out
rage" shouted Guiteau from the dock.
Judge Cox then turned to the jury and
said: Gentlemen of the jury, cannot
express too many thanks for the man.

duty. You have richly merited the

AFTER all the fuss that has been
made over the conduct of the Guiteau
trial, the sequel gives evidence that
the wiscst course has been taken bv
the prosecution, Judge Cox was placed
in a very unenviable situation, and
there are few men who would have
borne so patiently with the antics of
the prisoner. But a different course
might and probably would have given
grounds for a new trial, thus leaving
another loop hole for the escape Of the
murderer.

Extraordinary Cases Of Land Frauds
Down In Ohio.

DAYTON, ONO, January 26.-Within
the past few days one of the most re-
markable cases Of swlndling that has
been going on for years has been de-
veloped in this city. A man named
Chas. Hoskin came to Dayton several
years ago. He claimed to be the owner
of large blocks Of land in Kansas and
Missouri and West Virginia, which he
had obtained by Government grants
and purchase. He stated that he lived
in Cincinnati. and that his wife was
spending the season in Crestline. He
was evidently over so years old, and IS
described as clerical-looking gentle.
man. His powers of pursuasion and
deception can be attested to by a num-
Der of Dayton gentlemen, and in his
operations here he was regarded as a
shrewd business man, and proved HIM
self such. Among the other traits
whicn distinguished him was an inordi-
nate regard for women. His loose
habits first gave cause that he was not
all he represented himself. Upon his
arrival in this city he engaged the ser
vices of an attorney, who introduced
him to
VARIOUS OWNERS OF PROPERTY
and real estate agents, with a view ol
exchanging some of his alleged possess
sions in Kansas for anything that could
easily be converted into money. Among
the first gentlemen he called upon was
a real estate agent, to whom Hoskir
applied for an exchange of property ii

Although the United States still
owes more than a billion and three
quarters of its public debt, it is paying
it off with a rapidity which, having
been SO long continued, has ceased to
be surprising fact. The reduction
since the close of the war has been
about billion of dollars. With extra
ordinary resources, the republic is in
better shape financially than many of
the countries of Europe woich have
not been devastated by long-continued
internal strife The United States
owes less than one-half the amount of
Great Britain's debt. Russia, Spain,
and Italy owe more than the republic.

riss, and will start with the prisoner
this eve. O'Neil found the prisoner
obdurate, and could extort neither a
confession ncr an admission from him
of a damaging character. He admits
having been out on the Kings High
way on the night of the murder in a
buggy with young man whose name
he did not know, but denied having
been inside the Doris mansion. He
stated that he knew nothing whatever
of the murder of Mrs. Doris, did not
know the family and had no acquaint-
ance with Russell Brown. He said
further he had left St. Louis some time
ago and went 10 Paris, Ills. where his
family reside, and returned last to St.
Louis Friday night. In the interim
between Friday and Saturday nights
when he left St. Louis he was occupied
principally in discussing various bever-
ages in saloons.

RICHES NOT ALWAYS A BLESSING.

THEmurder Of Mrs. Dorriss by her
grandson on Sunday night last, not
withstanding its cruelty, was only the
natural result of the fast life which
young Brown had been leading, and
teaches us lesson which cannot be
too strongly impressed upon the mind.
Money does not bring happiness,
honor and integrity.
Some OF the most cruel and heartless
criminals have been the children of
wealthy parents. while many of the
minds that have been the greatest NOV
ers Of thought have sprung from the
common people. The child Of the
wealthy man grows up in idleness;
even in our own country, where we
boast of our democratic ideas. He is
taught to believe himself better than
his poorer nelghbor, taught that it is
disgraceful to work, yet the mind must
be occupied, SO he naturally drifts into
bad habits, until it seems to be nearer
the rule than otherwise, that he grows
lower and lower, until he becomes the
hardened villain, necessitating the
strong arm af the law to protect peace
able citizens from the evil results Of his
wicked schemes.
The influence of many Of the aristo-
cratic ideas of this country is to foster
crime. They have the arrogance and
pride without the moral principle to
control them. The young man whose
parents are wealthy, thinks 1t hard
that the home rule is so strict, that he
ought to be allowed more liberty, and
his labors made lighter. But in this
he is mistaken. The parents, be they
rich or poor, who have the courage to
stand firm against sentimental tender.
ness, and teach their children the value
of time, and that no one who is able
has right to live without labor, and
firmly impress this great truth upon theil
minds,gve them aheritage worth more
sthan gold and securities, a heritage too
productive of the greatest amonnt o
happiness. Had such a course beer
followed by the parents of Charlie
Kring and Russell Brown, the one woule
! not to-day have been awaiting the exc
cution of the death sentence for mur
der, or the other confined behind prlsor
bars, awaiting trial for the same crime
Riches are nice thing to have; SO i

with caution and judgement, especial,

IRELAND 4 RAILROAD MAN.

Ireland got reputation as an anti-railroad
man, and thereby captured the bourbon ele-
ment; but as soon as he is nominated he an.
pears in his true colors as an attorney for the
railroad corporations Of the state.
The Galveston News says:
The News Geographic report of his speech
at Gonzales contains no more noteworthy
paragraph than the following:
"Regarding the railroad question he admitted
it was delicate question. and he confessed he
was not at present prepared to speak on it and
give an opinion. He thought the railroads had
done great good to the country, and while he
thought that legislation was needed upon the
subject. yet it should be just and fair to both
sides, and equity should be strictly preserved
and kept in view in dealing with it,
Railroad capitalists and railroad projectors
could hardly desire more authentic promise
than is here implied that the next democratic
administration in Texas will be favorable to
substantially liberal railroad policy, and prac-
tically ayerse to measures Of interference and
regulation calculated 10 stihe or seriously en-
barrass any legitimate railroad enterprise"
