He Gets Over sevcn Years in Solitary Con-
fnement.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 2.-stanton. the Connect
cut student who pleaded guilty to killing his
schOOlmste, Nash, was called up to-day for sen
tence. There was moment of intense suspense
and considerable anxiety in court when Judge
Allison had finished his address TO Stanton aud
asked him for the second time If he had anything
to say why sentence should not be pronounced
The prisoner said in a low voice: II have com
mitted only one FAULT in this unfortunate affair,
and that was in permitting myself TO be forced To
Paeau gun! 20 a ERNIE OF wnien sin nor
withdraw your plea
The prisoner hesitated moment and then said :

to trial by jury" replied His Honor

ten instructions" interrupted Furman Sheppard.
OF counsel for the defense.
What do you propose to do" asked the Judge
Il am not guilty of the crime OF murder" was
the reply. 81 did something to save my own life :"
Assistant District Attorney Breezy objected TO the
withdrawal of the plea, but Judge Allison waited
for the prisoner. Stanton stood clutching the rail
of the dock. his level brows knitted. The corners
OF his mouth twitched slightly. A full minute
passed and he still was silent. Then Mr.. Bacon
stepped quickly to the dock and talked to him for
a moment or two. After the consultation the

continues his plea oil murder in the second de
gree with the understanding that il shall not
weigh in the public opinion against him and that

quickly. and then imposed q sentence OF seven

POLITICS TOO MUCH FOR Kim.

A lady on Fifth avenue, New York, quick
fy summoned a doctor.
oh. doctor my husband is nearly dead.
He attended a caucus last night. He made
four speeches and promised to be with his
fellow-citizens again to-day. But oh, doctor,
he looks nearly dead"
''Hss he been in politics long,"
mo, only last year. He worked hard for
flames McCaulay's election"
"He will get well. madam! He has a
stomach for any disease if he worked for
him"
Political life of short or long duration is
very exhausting, as is evident from the great
mortality which prevails among public
men. Ex-United States Senator b. X. Bruce
who has been long in public life, says:
THE other day, when stepping into car
at crossing found Dr.. - within, who
eyed me up and down in surprised way,
rtmarking:
why. Senator, how well you look"
We'll. feel pretty we'll answered"
The doctor uttered an incredulous reply,
when the Senator frankly told him. in an
swer to an inquiry, thatit was Warner safe
cure which accomplished for him what the
profession had failed to do. Senator Bruce
says his friends are very much astonished at
this revelation OF poweT. the Globe.

must. have direct. line of steamers go aud
from these countries. Trade can neither be
got nor kept up without efficient mail and
freight facilities.
R.-But it is believed that steamer enter
prises to South America would not pay on
investment
Mr.. L.-Perhaps not, Just at present, for
we have no trade that would make thing
pay with those countries now. We never
will have any trade If we do not take the
means and make the struggle for it.
R.-What do you think of the subsidy
plan?
Mr. LII do not favor subsidies in the ab-
stract. Still, some way to accomplish our
purposes must be adopted, and if line of
steamers can not be got in any other way,
why then L am in favor of subsidy.
would say as Mr. Talmage said. in a sermon
preached last Thanksgiving Day one year
ago, upon this subject, when he thanked the
Lord that the way might be open to start
the spindles and the furnaces, and employ
the idle labor of the country if il required
the 0O,000,000 then in the Treasury that
the Republicans had not stolen to carry out
this policy, he would be in favor of appr0-
priating it to that purpose before the Demo
Gratis did steal it.
R-But does not the silvar issue affect any
other interest besides the commercial and
manufacturing classes?
Mr.. L.-0f course. The agriculturalists of
the country are interested as much as any
other class in the employment of labor, by
which all wealth is made. But they are in
terested in this silver question in another
way. Our wheat is now priced in London
and Liverpool. India is becoming our great
competitor in that market. The increased
product of wheat in that country is remark
able. The imports into England from India
have increased in four years from l.O00,000
bushels to $1,000 900 bushels, and it is now
calculated that India, with improved una
chinery, in very few years will be able to
export from 300, 000. 600 to SOC, 600. 600 bush
els. That wheat is bought in India with
silver. The lower the English
can buy the silver the cheaper
the wheat. 1t comes in direct
competition with our wheat. Any act Of
this Government that reduces the value of
silver reduces the value of the farmers
wheat Just to that extent. The depreciation
in the value of silver does not affect the pro-
ducer of wheat in India. Silver is their only
money. 1t pays his debts-the only use
any man has for money. The depreciation
is in the interest of the man that buys the
wheat with the deprecated money, and
against the interest of the producers of wheat
in this country
R.-Would it not be difficult to induce
these South American countries into treaty
OF the sort YOU have referred to?
Mr.. Ii am satisfied there would not be.
from the fact that silver is their only legal
money; besides, the balance of trade would
be largely in their favor, and they are in
need of those articles of manufacture that
comprise our surplus. No, there would be
every incentive of interest to induce them to
act with us. Gold in those countries is an
article of commerce. 1t sells FOR what it is
worth.
Thanking Mr.. Landers for his attention.
and full with desired information, your re-
porter withdrew.

Murdered for Money.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 30.-Henry G. Kemper
aged sixty-fye the proprietor of Q small
grocery store at 166 Barr street, was found
murdered in his store early this morning.
The driver of bread wagon first discovered
him. His skull was split open, but no trace
OF The weapon could be found. The muir
derer obtained less than 50 from the money
drawer. Deceased has a daug hter in Denver
one in Dayton, two at home and one son.
His wife is lying dangerously i'll. Suspicion
attaches to an unknown mulatto seen at the
store this morning before the murder.
1t has been discovered that a tall, vicious
looking mulatto was seen in Kemper's gro
Gerry early this morning, and that he had
been coming there for several mornings for
a drink. 1t is also known that Kemper had
said he was afraid of that man. From the
description Harry Floyd is suspected, but
can not be found. He is a dissipated man,
who has not recently been living at home,
but was at home only few days ago. 1t now
appears that the murderer only obtained
fifty cents.

A Desperate surrenders to the Sheriff.

SHOALS Ind, Dec. 30.-Tuesday night
posse of a dozen resolute men went out to
the home of John T. Archer, five miles
south of Vincennes, wanted for the Bunch
murder in this country, surrounded the
house and threatened TO burn Archer out il
he would not surrender. After parleying
two hours, Archer gave himself up and was
taken to Vincennes Jail. Yesterday at noon

sheriff Padgett and Deputies Caruthers and
Hadley. An excited crowd met Them at the
depot. and loud shouts of Hang him" were
heard on every side. David Grand, another
of the gang, also CAPTURED here and
Jailed. The indignation of the citizens here
is very great. and Archer and Crane fear
they will be hung by mob. They begged
the Sheriff TO protect them, and Crane
made full confession to Prosecuting
Attorney Mccormick, concernin his part
i'm the murder of Bunch. Crane is
now only nineteen years old. He says he
was so young that the Archer gang scared
him into the participation of the crime;
that he was told to 20 to Bunch's house,
decoy Buck out and take him to the field
near the river. Crane did so. and the Arch
ers Seveled revolvers at Cranes head and

had gone the Archers killed Bunch. Crane
said the Archegs threatened several times TO
