Guilty as Charged.

AUBURN, N. Y, Nov. 28.-When the
United States court opened this morning
the government attorneys were allowed to
introduce 1.5OO pounds of smuggled opium
in evidence in the Gardner case. Judge
Cox charged the jury, saying he regretted
that some people looked upon smuggling
as pardonable offense. If the evidence
was true in this case heinous crime had
been committed and the government had
been defrauded of $4,000. The Jury re-
tired at noon and soon returned with a
verdict Of "guilty" on six counts of indict-
ment, Assistant Hoyt then promptly
moved the case of the United States against
John G: Haines, Erwin A. Gardner and
John w. Stone. The court held that the
three cases should be tried together.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. 27. = The
storm has abated and the sun is now shin
ing brightly. A survey of the situation
shows that no such destruction to property
on this beach has been known since the
incorporation of the city. Hundreds of
property owners from Philadelphia and
other localities have come down fearing
their property would be swept away last
night The tide receded to-day and the
sea under the influence of a northwest
wind was beaten down, but the result,
especially in the lower portions of the
city, is one of almost complete destruction.
The work of the waves was quick and
complete and the individual losses are
numerous. In the excursion house dis
trict the destruction of property is enor-
nous. The beach to-day was lined with
thousands of residents and visitors, in
Guiding photographers and artists sketch
ing the ruins. Many of the sufferers by
the storm are people of moderate means
and their losses will be severely felt in the
coming winter.

the contest case over the will of Mrs. Jennie

A Famous Case Settled.

BEAVER, PA. Nov. M.-After being out
thirty.six hours the jury in the famous
Hibbard. Fry breach of promise case
brought in verdict this morning in favor
of the defendant and placing the costs on
the prosecution. The announcement was
received with applause. The unamnity of
of opinion in the community that the jury
had done the right thing was wonderful.
AS Mr.. Fry walked up the street from his
office to his home he was approached by
gratulations. He said he felt fully en-
dorsed in his course by the verdict and was
glad he had not taken any other measures
in regard to the intrOd ducti0n of evidence.
Mr.. Fry and daughter leave for New York
on Monday and will sail for Europe on
Monday. n 'sls

FREE TRADE DID 1T.
A Montana Democrat B1ames Free Trad,


A Montana Democrat B1ames Free Trade
for His Defeat.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 22.-Delegate Toole of
Montana passed through the city yesterday
on his way to Washington. He said: "To
be sure, a republican was elected as my
successor in the late election, but it was
only because the democrats was all split
up over the tariff issue. Montana is great
wool growing state and the free trade atti-
tude of the democratic leaders cost the party
many votes. If the democrats were united,
Montana is, and would be, democratic
territory. Had it not been for what con-
slider rather unfair action on the part of
the Dakota people who insisted on division
before admission, the territories would
have been admitted long ago. | think it
would be a stroke of policy on the part of
the democrats in the coming session to ad-
NIT territories. Both parties are really
committed to the idea, and there is no rea-
son why this congress should not do it."

for early admission as state are now

ing to urge the passage of bill at this

will pass in this congress. Whether q
special session will be called is uncertain.

IT ORIGINATED IN NEW YoRx.
The Huge Railroad Combination Wa.
Conceived in New York.

Conceived in New York.
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-It was ascertained
here to-day that the plan which has been
made public Of forming huge railroad
combination to embrace all the territory
west of Chicago and st. Louis, with a
clearing house for competition business
and commission of presidents to control
the rates, is after all only one of the plans
that was considered at the New York con-
ferences and is not one that was formally
adopted. The plan that received the most
favor. in fact, was much stronger form
of agreement and more severe in its re-
strictions as to the use of the rate making
power. j. w. Midgely, who was present
at the conference in the capacity of ad-
wiser, said to-day: Zine truth is the rail-
roads have become desperate at the pre-
vailing condition Of affairs. If the present
conditions, Which were attributable to
operations in inter state law, should con-
tinue two years longer there would not be
solvent railroad west of Chicago.
Projectors of a new scheme for the main
tenance OF roads were agreed upon one
point, and that was that subordinate
officers must be deprived of the rate max
ing power. This plan was submitted to
western lines, and favorable replies have
been returned by the presidents Of the
Union Pacific, Stickney system. and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul."
New YORK, Nov. 28.-A conference was
held last night at the Windsor house that
had to do directly with the proposed big
railway trust. Russell Sage, representing
Gould's interests, and the directors of the
Rock Island and Atchison companies
were present. Mr.. Sage SAID later that
there was little doubt about the successful
carrying out of the scheme. Jay Gould
holds the same opinion. Before the plan
was completed Mr.. Gould personally re-
vised every paragraph of it; and he has
gone to work with energy to induce other

United States Custom Officers ON Trial
For Robbery.
AUBURN, N. Y, Nov. 27.-The first of the
famous opium smuggling cases was moved
at the opening of the United States court
this morning. the defendant is Edwin A.
Gardner, who has been indited for snug
Cling an aggregate of $500 pounds of opium
upon which the customs at $50 per pound
amounted to $s5,OOO Gardner was spec
ial agent of the government, where he ac-
quired full knowledge of the methods Of
custom collectors. He was arrested in
February while attempting to remove a
sleigh load of smuggled opium from Jeffer-
son county for shipment west. A hidden
stOrehOuse of the smugglers was also found
and 7S0 pounds was recovered. Gardner
claimed to be a government official working
up case. Officers searched his hiding
place and unearthed an old tool chest which
must have been used in conveying opium
across the st. Lawrence. One of the
branches of the case is trial for conspir-
acy which is expected to taks place at this
been placed in the Ogdensburg custom
house and the case of conspiracy is an al
legged combination to steal the opium
packages and substitute blocks Of wood
for the double purpose of getting the opium
and destroying the evidence. Deputy In
ternal Revenue Collector Lytle, whose
Office is next to the room in which the
opium was stored, Lawyer Stone and Jani-
tor Comisky were arrested on the charge
of conspiracy and theft. Gardner, who
had given bail, was subsequently again ar
rested at Chicago while trying to sell the
opium. He had been dickering with a
Chinaman. who went to custom officer
to see If it was all right, and the officers
saw that twas smuggled. John c. Haines,

Yea, kinder than my erring ways have earned;
The light has dawned-I see how blindly blind

My hopes lie shattered and the skys are dark,
The wind doth moan like some sad. sobbine
child;
The soughing, shoreless sea which bears my
bark
Is lashed by storms that toss it mad and wild
The dreary nights are long, stars wane and die
The very sun seems faithless and untrue,
Since that fierce hour when with parting sigh
bid my little ali last adieu.
And yet oh gentle Fate. I give thee thanks,
For though of coats and hats I am bereft,

Also an old straw hat and fan which forgot
