SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Mrs. Robinson, of Massachusetts, VIII
Not Hang.

Mrs. Sarah Jane Robinson, the Somerville,
Mass. poisoner. will not hang. She will for
the rest OF her life remain in solitary con-
flnement in the State Prison-the only fe-
male convict ever imprisoned in that
institution. and the second prisoner
TO suffer solitary confinement. Governor
Ames and his council committed the death
sentence TO solitary confinement for life.
When the condemned woman heard the
verdict she fell back into the chair and
moaned: Ny God! l wish IL had been the
other way" She had prepared her mind 10
die, and the sudden end OF her misery
seemed FAR preferable TO the lingering tor
ture OF solitary confinement. For several
minutes she gave way 10 the widest out
burst of grief and rocked to and fro. crying
out for death. Ever since her conviction
and sentence. Mrs. Robinson has stoutly
maintained her innocence. She expected 10
hang. but said that in time her innocence
would be established The action on the
part of the Governor and the Council has
practically settled the question of hanging
women in Massachusetts,. Tremendous
pressure was brought to bear in this case
TO save that State from the disgrace of hang
ing a woman. This has not been done
since July TO- 1889. when Rebecca Waugh
was hanged in Worcester for murder.

brought out by statements Of the probable
ity of an appeal by defendants to that body;
that proper bill of particulars was not
furnished by the States Attorney; that i'm
proper evidence was introduced and per-
mitted to 60 to the jury; and that the
Courts instructions were not impartial in
their scope and purpose. AS q result the
decision of the lower courts was reversed.
and the cause was remanded for a new

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Money i'm Ample supply and Collections
Maintain "a Good Average.


r. G.. Dun a. Co.'S trade review for last
week says:
The volume Of legitimate trade continued
large, but important advances in transactions in
anticipation OF an improvement in prices were
so large prior 10 the election that comparative
dulness followed. Wheat SPECULATION wss sat
upon heavily by the stoppaee OF exports from
the Atlantic ports and the enormous movement
from the PHc tic coast. Another depressing fea-
ture was tho export of l7C0 900 bushels of corn in
Eve weeks, against 2,SJ0,O0) bushels last year,
pointing 20 less foreign demand for wheat. With
assurances OF larger supplies corn was "a cent
cheaper with speculation narrow and sales
only 4,2O0, 600 bushels for the week. Oats were
cent dearer. The boot and shoe trade was de-
cidedy active and promising. Excessive pro-
duciion weakened the An hrncite coal market.
Interior demand for bituminous had fallen of.
Coke output in Western Pennsylvania exceeded
all past records. Money WAS easy at Nashville,
firm al Kansas City, and in active demand at
Memphis, but nearly all points had ample
supply. Scarcely any complaint was made Of
collections Treasury disbursements. for the
week exceeded receipts by only $4,000 The
failures during the week numbered 237.
