FOUND HIS TONGUE AT LAST.
A Murderer Keeps Silence for Four Months,
but a Life Sentence Sets Him to Talking.

GAINESVILLE. O., Oct. 31.-In the Circuit
Court at Woodsfield, Monroe county, David
Conger. who was convicted of murder in the
second degree for the killing of his wife, il June
last, was sentenced yesterday to the penitentiary
for life. The murder was a most brutal one, he
killing his young wife with an ak because she
interfered in behalf of their six-year-old son,
whom he was beating cruelty. Conger made no
great effort to escape. and was arrested soon
after. From the moment of his incarceration
until the last words that dropped from the
Judges lips. which sealed his doom, the misera-
BILE man had not spoken a word or made an
audible noise with his tongue. Feigning
insanity, he played the deaf-and-dumb act
successfully for more than four months. All eff
forts of the officers TO make him speak were
without effect. Even a severe shock from an
electric battery, which was applied in the hope
OF loosening his tongue, only caused him to
squirm with pain. Throughout the trial he has
been immovable, and when sentence was about
to be pronounced, the officers had to lift him to
his feet. The last words of the ninety-nine-
years sentence had hardly echoed through the
courtroom, however, when the mysterious Grim
inal, who had so long remained apparently
dumb, yelled out an avalanche of oaths at the
court, and turning to the crowd, said: II have
got more sand and backbone than any of you,
and if you can stand it, i can, too" He was
quickly hurried from the courtroom and landed
in his cell, but continued to shower curses and
abuse in a screaming voice on all mankind.

The Dull Times in England-German Meth
DDS of Extending ommerc
LONDON, Oct. 1.-The depression in the fax
spinning trade in England is very great. The
great mill engaged this industry in Leeds, and
which employees 1000 operativessSis threatened
with closure on account of this depression, which
has also decided q great number of
English capitalists engaged in flax
spinning to close out their investments
in that line in Great Britain and transfer them
to the United States. These capitalists frankly
state that their reason for doing this is to So
cure the benefits of the protection afforded their
business by the American tariff laws, and to es-
cape the ruinous competition to WHICH they are
subjected under the free-trade policy of England.
Since Germany adopted the policy of stimu-
lating her industries, her merchants have
astonished Europe by their enterprise and
eagacity. German competition is already cut
ting deeply into even the screw-making trade of
Birmingham itself. The merchants of
Germany have recently memorialized the
German Chancellor concerning the advantages
England enjoys in maintaining her
in America, Africa and Asia, by having consuls
at all important points on these continents,
while the German consuls are all merchants who
are often aliens, and who all, as a rule, spend
their time in looking after their own
individual interests without any desire
TO ana In the extension of the
or the empire. 1t is understood Prince Bis
marck has already begun the work inspired by
this memorial; that he has replaced many of
these merchants as consuls by well-chosen state
agents. anc that he intends to follow the English
duce German products or manufactures with
advantage.

SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Oct 31-The country is
in a disturbed state, owing to fears of an inva-
sion by the exiled revolutionists, strengthened
by those now in Nicaragua. A sailing vessel
has left La Union, having on board
the Nicaraguan exiles Tinoco. Fischer,
Lucio and Gutierrez. and 600 rifles and 5000
cartridges. 1t is believed they will enter the
country by way of San Bernardo, in the depart
ment Of Chinandega. Another sailing YES
sci was anchored yesterday off the
island Of Mianianzura, in Touseca bay

THE IRISH HOME-RULERS.
The Nominations in Ireland-The Irish Cause
in England.

AAho
in England.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Home-rule party has
already held one-half Of its county conventions
in Ireland. In every one of these Mr.. Parnelrs
dominance was not even contested. The result
Of these conventions has therefore been that
thirty eight Parnellite candidates for par
liamentary seats have been nominated
to receive the Home-rule vote. and in
every case the nomination was made
without a single division. Twenty OF these are
new men who have never been members of the
House of Commons. In England the Irish cause
is beginning to attract a great deal Of respectful
attention from persons who, not long ago, ut
terly ignored it as unworthy of consideration.
Prominent Irisbmen in London have combined
TO establish in the metropolis an
Irish club, on a basis equally sound
and respectable with that enjoyed by the best of
the other great political clubs. This enterprise
has already made considerable advances. Suit
able premises near the Parliament buildings
and business centers have alredy been secured,
but a great number of solid subscribers must
yet be obtained before the Irish club can be
assured of permanent success.

lished by the King of Corea in 1883, upon the
return of the Core N embassy from the United
States. The farm is in a thrifty and Furnishing
condition. 1t was planted with seeds presented
to the embassy by the American Commissioner
of Agriculture. Last year the entire crop was
allowed to 60 to seed. after a very successful
season. Large quantities of all the seeds were
distributed to more than three hundred iccali-
ties, accompanied by directions for planting and
use. The farming of these seeds this year has
been very successful. The American farm has
been successfully stocked with blooded animals
from California, and Mr.. Foulke believes but
needs the advice of a competent Western farmer
to be a perfect success"

Rumored Heavy Defalcation.

Boston, Oct. 3l.-Rumors of another defalca-
ton are in circulation. Henry Davis, employed
in the freight department of the Fitchburg
railroad as a collector, has been missing for some
days, and 1t Is understood that a deficit of 500
900 has been found in his accounts. 1t is thought
Davis has gone to Canada. The officials. while
admitting that a defalcation has occurred, and
that Davis is missing, decline to make the exact
facts known.
LATER-The delfalcation of Henry Davis,
the Fitchburg railroad freight depart
ment collector, is not believed to be
as large as indicated in previous dis
patches. 1t is said by the railroad authorities
that the actual shortage, as far as discovered, is
only 81, 900, and the warrant which has been is
sued for his arrest charges the embezzelment of
only 5000.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
The Chains with Which the Discoyerer of
America Was Bound.

that some of the Genoa papers declare that, with
a view of stimulating interest in the celebration
of the fourth century of the discovery of Amer
lea by Columbus, the Chevalier Bald has pub
lished the secret he has kept for twenty years,
viz: his possession of the identical chains with
which Bobadelia loaded the wrists of Columbus
when the latter was sent back a prisoner to
Spain in the year 1900. The Chevalier says he
secured these valuable relics after a long and
expensive journey, made in Spain and America
for the purpose, and that he has kept the story
of his discovery and possession of the secret for
twenty years for private reasons, which no

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The coroner's jury in the
inquest on the victims of the collision on the
Pennsylvania railroad. which occurred on the
Newark meadows on the 18th inst, rendered a
verdict last night, censuring the railroad company
and holding fagman Howard Rhodes, of the emf
grant train, and operator Thomas Pratt respon-
sible for the accident. Rhodes and Pratt are
locked up on a charge of manslaughter. A dis
patch from Dover, DEL, says that money is be-
ing raised there to employ counsel to defend
Pratt. He was reared near there, and was once
operator at Marydel, Md. The people are re-
spending in a liberal manner.

Disorderly Russian Students.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 31.-Dispatches from
Dorpat state that the students in the university
of that town made a demonstration against
the government, and for a time wild confusion
reigned throughout the town. Order was finally
restored, the military coming to the aid of the
authorities. A renewal of the demonstration is
feared. The university is one of the principal
seats of learning in Russia, but is essentially
German in its methods and spirits.

Catholic Pronunciation of Mixed Educat

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Cardinal Manning and
fourteen British Catholic bishops have issued a
manifesto denouncing mixed education. It is
impossible, the manifesto says, for Catholics to
accept education when it is divorced from -elig-
ion. Free education is to a state
monopoly of education. Christianity will be i'm
periled unless the state subsidies religious and
secular schools equally. The manifesto is con-
sidered to mean that Catholics should vote for
the Tory candidates in the general elections.

The Coming Circus,

Last weeks Freeman, published at
Mcpherson, Kan, contains the follow
ing concerning John Robinson's great
circus, which Is to be here next Satur-
day. May 30:
The old John Robinson circus and me.
nagerie reached Mcpherson on Sunday
morning and consequently enjoyed a
days rest here before showing Monday.
This show Is remarkable In one respect,
and that is in preventing the usual
army of fakirs and swindlera
following it up. We have not
heard of q single case of Cropped In" OF
"short change" In connection with the
Robinson show. Nor was there any
boisterous conduct on the part of the
employees. To say the show, both circus
and ~menagerie, has never been surpassed
here is but to state a fact observed by q
large majority of those who attended.
The clown, John Lowlow, is the best we
have seen for many years. He does not
af1ict his audiences with stale jokes, but
keeps them In an uproar with fresh,
sparkling and original wilt. MI. L. S.
Steele, who seems to be general manager,
is a very clever, affsble gentleman, and
keeps everything moving In systematic
order.
