THE BALTIMORE SCANDAL.
Termination of the Trial - Pearre Found
Guilty and Bail Refused.

BALTIMORE May 28.--James Graham Pearre
was convicted in the Criminal Court for an at
tempted rape of Mrs. Estelle d. Kirkland at the
Hotel albion on the 14th of March last. The
penalty for the crime is from two to ten years in
the penitentiary. The case was begun Tuesday
last. To-day Pearre testified. He acknowl
edged entering the lady's room by her window,
but said he was led to believe his visit would be
agreeable to Mrs. Kirkland he having been mis-
led by the erroneous answer given him by the
elevator boy, by whom he had sent the note ask
ing her if he might come to her room after his
return from the opera Pearre defended Mrs.
Kirkland and said she repused him Indignantly.
Pearre denied having used any force to accom-
plish the deed He was completely overcome
when the verdict of guilty was rendered, and
was led to Jail crying bitterly. The verdict
gives general satisfaction. Elk Governor Whyte,
counsel for defense, made motion for a new
trial, pending which sentence was deferred.
Bail was offered in the sum of S. 900, but was
refused

Other Exhibitors.

The two States of Vermont and Indiana make
the finest exhibits of monumental and building
stones of any in the exposition, the former of
marble and the latter of limestones and other
lightcolored building stone, well adapted for
fiorld and ornate carving Around the large and
elegantly furnished tent which serves as an
Office for the Indiana commissioner, General
Carnahan, and a reception room for Indianians
attending the exposition, this array of stone,
cut, rough and carved, is displayed.
PERRY BROS
Prominent among these exhibits is that of the
Perry Bros. G. K and Fl. f. Perry, of ELECTS
vile, Monroe county. 1t contains specimens of
both the rough and finished stone, as taken from
the quarries and as cut, polished and orna-
mented The stone is of a light hue, almost
white, with slight touch Of cream color, the
very shade and material so popular in Chicago
and Indianapolis, and which has made
these cities so beautiful architectural
ly, and which has been used in
the new Cotton Exchange of New Orleans, the
handsomest and grandest building in 1.-THE
Crescent City, 1t is without flaw, aud free from
the iron which in other hmestones stains the
front OF the building in few years and gives it
an unhealthy, notified appearance. In the mat
toT VI cuIClnB, IL Is as SuScepLlDle as WOOO, yet
as strong and tough as iron, allowing the most
horld sculpturing in leaves, vines, ETC., but
withstanding wind and storms. 1t is what is
known as oolite limestone, of great strength
and durability. One of the prettiest exhibits of
the Perry Bros. is low crowned stone fence
running around one side of General Canadians
office, the railing broken by Grecian pillars sur
mounted by carved globes. There are other
exhibits in sculpture displaying the facility with
which this stone can be used for ornamental or
monumental purposes.
MATTHEWS BROS.
Immediately adjoining this exhibit is that of
the Matthews Bros.--P. IT,, w. N. and Fred
Matthews roprietors of the Elettsvile steam
stone works, also at Ellettsville, Ind. This ex-
hibit includes rough and sawed building stone
slabs, blocks, etc. The stone is of two shades
of light brown, both susceptible of much carving
The rough blocks, just as they come from the
quarres, are exhibited side by side with those
sawed and prepared for building purposes. The
best piece of sculpture shown is block intended
as post for fence Around the post is hung
wreath of roses, every leaf standing out as il
in life, and from it hangs an open-work chain of
exquisite lightncss, every link accurately pro-
duced, looking as fragile as piece Of lace, yet
defying the elements. This is the lightest and
most elegant piece of carving in the entire build
ing stone exhibit of Indiana, although there are
some thirty or forty firms and companies dis
playing their products there: The Matthews
