for sentence to be passed on the prisoner.
General Pryor, of Jaehne's coursel made
a motion for an arrest of judgment upon
the following grounds: First, tl'at the in

second, that the count in the indictment
upon which the verdict was returned is in
sufficient to sustain the verdict, and,
third, that because in law there can
be no Judgment upon the indictment and
verdict. Counsel also moved for O. new
trial upon two grounds; first, misdirection
OF the jury i'll matters of law, and because
the verdict was contrary to law and
against the evidence. The motions were
both denied by Judge Barrett, and the
counsel then took an exception to the de-
NAL of each motion.
Judge Barrett then sentenced theprison-
er to nine years and ten months in State
prison.

Killed.
New YORK, May 21.--Mrs. Alice Key
Pendleton, wife of Hon. George II. Pendle-
ton, of Ohio, United States Minister to
Germany was instantly killed in Central
Park yesterday afternoon, and her daugh-
ter, Jennie Frances Pendeton twenty
two years of age, was seriously injur ed.
The ladies were riding in an open vic
toria behind high-spirited horse. While
on the main drive the horse became I'M
manageable and ran away, pulling the
driver over the dashboard Mrs. Pendle-
ton jumped from the carriage and struck
on her head, while Miss Pendleton fol-
lowed and was knocked unconscious.
A park policeman ran up an in
slant later to find Mrs. Pendleton
dead, and Miss Pendleton apparently
dying. On being removed to the hos
pital the young lady revived and may re.
cover. The body of Mrs. Pendleton was
taken to the menagerie building, and was

COUNTING THE COST.

sBradstreets" Figures tie Losses by the
Late Strike to Be Nearly sea, 600, 900
Startling Conspiracy Disclosed in Chi
cago-Another Anarchist Arsenal Tn
earthed = Great Strike of Furniture
Workers in St. Louis.
NEW YORK, May 24.-Bradstreet's Jour
nal, in its review OF the labor troubles,
SAYS 1.-THE grand total of industrial
strikers for all reasons between April "a
and May IA was about go, 900. The de-
cline from that date TO Monday last was
marked, the aggregate on May II
not exceeding $4,000 strikers for all
causes. The report OF strikes from cities
and districts named on May 81 showed
another heavy decline, owing in part
to defeats of remaining agitators for eight
hours in Chicago, and the practical fail
ure of the bitumious coal strikers. The
total number of strikes May 20 was A.
625. The totals presented during several
weeks past naturally suggest an attempt
to obtain an approximation as to the
loss resulting. This loss can at best
only be Appropriated. In addition
to absolute losses of wages to strik-
ing employees and losses on business to
employers during the continuance of the
strikes, there remain, of course, indirect
losses due to delayed orcanceled contracts
for delivery OF merchandise OF products,
or for the constructing OF buildings. The
loss from delayed or Cancelled contracts
for merchandise and products, it is, OF
course, impossible to collect entire.
The building industry has been shown
by Bradstreet's to havesustained indirect
" in this way the severest blow of any,
due to the unwillingness of contractors to
take contracts for fear of estimates of cost
being disturbed by renewed labor troubles.
The losses sustained through deferred or
Cancelled building contracts have been
more thoroughly reported than those in
any other line at the cities where strikes
have been most general.
Details of losses from strikes since May
l, at the industrial centers reported, have
bean.

Four Veto Messages.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The President
has vetoed four private pension bills,
granting pensions to Dudley B. Branch,
Louis Melcher Edward Ayres and James
C. Chandler. The President gives his rea-
sons at length in respect to each case. He
says that in the Branch case approval is
withheld for the reason that the history of
his hospital treatment furnishes no proc! OF
the injury upon which his claim is now
based. In Melcher's case the President
says that he found nothing III his examina.
ton OF the facts which impeached the
value of the surgeons certificate upon
which adverse action by the Pension Bureau
was predicated. OF the Ayers bill
the President says that the claimant served
in his regiment nearly three years after
the alleged injury, and in May or June,
1868, the claimant deserted, but was capt
ured in July of that year and returned to
duty without trial In the case of Chand-
Ter the President reviews at length the
various applications made for a pension,
which disclose the fact that two OF them
recount different injuries received at the
same time.

THE FISHERIES TROUBLE.
The State Department at Washington In
Receipt of Official Information Regard
ing the Seizure of the Adams.

ing the Seizure of the Adams.
WAsRINGToN, May 21.-Thc report of
Consul General Phelan respecting the
seizure OF the D. J. Adams was received at
the State Department yesterday morning.
He states that the David J. Adams started
from Gloucester for Eastport, Me-, and
went from there fishing on the banks,
returned to Eastport, and thence
went to Digby basin. He reports
that Captain Kinneys business in Digby
seems to have been OF purely personal
nature. He did not go there to buy bait
or trade in any way. He was there fur
or five days without doing any thing. 1t
WAS while on his way out OF Digby basin
that Canadian offered him the bait which
he bought. It was, of course, bait which
is used for deep-sea fishing.
When the Lansdowne stopped the Adams
Captain Scott did not seem to have deter
mined to seize the Adams. Four visits were
made to the Adams, and much aggravat-
ing conversation seems to have occurred
before the Adams was seized. The Cana
dams did not seem to know either why they
had seized the vessel or what they ought
to do with her. The Lansdowne
took her to st. John. N. B., then
apparently recolleeGing that she
must be hbeled in the jurisdiction
where she WIS seized, Captain Scott took
her back to Digby. and finally, there be-
ing no good reason why she should be kept
at Digby, to Halifax, where she was
libeled. All this time no information was
vouchsafed to either Captain Kinney or
Consul-General Phelan as to why the YES
sci had been seized. In fact the complaint
has never yet been received.
Secretary Bayard submitted the report
to the Cabinet, and it was discussed to the
exclusion of other subjects. The first step
. of the State Depa RI ment will be to give
Consul-General Phelan the assistance OF
the best legal advice he can get. The
David j. Adams will be defended in the
admiralty proceedings by lawyers retained
by Consul General Phelan for the
United States Government. Mean
while the Secretary of State has
brought the facts to the attention Of the
British Government with whom alone
he can deal, with p request that the Adams,
which the Secretary asserts had a perfect
under our Legislative arrangements with
Great Britain, shall be released. Great
Britain has the power to arrest the admi-
rally proceedings at Halifax and is expect
ed to exercise it. Ii she does not exercise
it in time to prevent the condemnation
and sale of the vessel she will be required
to pay for it as she did for the George
