Killed Hi. sister. Child

ST.. PAUL, MINI, May H.-On tine 30th of
March, Michael Thill, wealthy young
man OF Caledonia, Mimi, went to his faith
er's house and took the illegitimate child
Of his sister into the garden. where 1t was
found dead shortly afterward. He was
charged with murder, and the trial has
been in progress for six days, some of the
best lawyers in the Northwest being en-
gagged in the case. The jury found the
young man guilty of murder in the first
degree, Saturday. The case is notable
from the fact that itsis the first of its kind
ever tried in Minnesota that resulted in so
severe a verdict.
The defense was conducted on two theo-
ries, both aiming to reduce the degree Of
the crime. 1t was sought to show that the
injuries discovered by the autopsy might
have been caused by difficult birth, and
that death resulted from these, aided. per-
haps, but not caused by the exposure of
the child in the garden, where Michael ad-
mitted he had taken and laid it. The
other defense was emotional insanity,
caused by the shame of his sister. The
Jury spent six hours in deiberating. and
then announced the verdict. Thill re-
ceiyed the verdict with composure, his face
betraying no sign that he appreciated its
awful significance. His counsel moved for
q suspension of sentence, and for time to
prepare q case on which 20 move for a new

QUINCY, Mass, May 4-James w. Pow
ell, who claims to hail from Philadelphia,
paid a visit to the house OF Mr.. Peter
Butler, about three o'clock in the morning,
under curious circumstances. He broke in
the kitchen window, lifted the catch and
proceeded to the bedroom where Mr.. and
Mrs. Butler were sleeping. Mrs. Butler
heard him rummaging the bureau in the
sleeping room. and asked him what he
wanted Instead of replying, he retreated
down stairs. Mrs. Butler awoke her huS-
aand, and rung the alarm which awoke
Davis, the coachman, who slept in an out
house.
Mrs. Butler, her sister, Miss Proctor, and
Mr. Butler then began to search the house.
When the coacbman attempted to respond
to the call he found the house where he
slept guarded by four men. He jumped
out of a window and entered the house Just

tongs and Powell his fists, when the pro-
prietOr of the house came in and laid out
the intruder with blow of his heavy cane.
Powell submitted TO be tied, pretending
that he was asleep, but later on made a
desperate attempt to escape. When over
powered he said:

THE AIRSHIP BUSINESS.
Proposition for the Government to In.
vest eI5o, 900 in the Business.

Proposition for the Government to In
vest $3.50, 900 in the Business.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-Several months
ago Mr.. Dunham, OF Illinois, introduced q
bill providing for the construction of an
airship after the design of French invent
or, A de Bausset, to cost not more than
3l50, 900.
Speaker Carlisle usually makes up
his mini as to the committee To
which he will refer bill at
least two seconds before the Clerk has
finished reading the title, but this one puz-
zled him soreiy. The Naval Committee
seemed hardly the place for an air ship,
and after thinking the matter over for a
minute or 50, he exclaimed; 'To the Conn.,
mittee on Ventilation and Acoustics" A
roar OF laughter greeted this reference, and
the bill was sent down in accordance with
it.
No one ever expected to hear from it
again, but the committee to which it was re-
ferred, and which is composed of such men
as Landes. of Illinois; Compton, of Mary
land; Davidson, of Alabama, and others,
instead of pigeon-holing the bill, looked in
to it very thoroughly and then decided to
report it to the House with favorable rec
ommendation. If he bill passes the House
the United States will be the first Govern
ment to attempt the construction Of q ship
10 navigate the air.
The design consists OF q metallic vessel
made up in compartments, suitably brsced
TO withstand great external pressure
The vessel will be cigar.shaped, and of
such size that when the air within
its chambers is exhausted it will, by a dis
lacement of bulb of air greater Ian its
weight, rise of its own buoyancy and sus-
tain a considerable burden. The vessel is
fitted with an electrical engine and other
appliances for steering and regulating the
attitude of its course. The vessel is to be
constructed in one of the Government
navy-yards, but no money will be paid the
builder until $4,000 shall have been ex-
pended and satisfactory progress made.
The balance is to be paid when the COM
plete ship shall have stood the tests as pre-
scribed by the Secretary of the Navy.

EAST LIVERPOOL, May 14.-A man walk
ing along the railroad tracks at the foot of
Market street was Mortified at finding the
CHASTITY object of a mans head lying be-
tween the ends of the ties. Stepping over
the rails. he perceived on the other side
the remains of the body, terribly mangled.
Summoning assistance, the bloody parts
we're conveyed to an undertaking estab-
lishment and there identified as the re-
mains of Oscar Hill, the of Robert Hill,
ore of the most prominent Democrats of
COlumbiana county. 1t was at first be-
lieved that Hill had fallen under the mid.
night express and thus met his death, but
late this afternoon q contrary belief be-
came general.
A physician who examined the body
the body said that the man must have laid
down on the rails in order TO have received
the wounds. This evening it has come to
light that Hills watch and chain were
were missing when his body was picked
up by the undertaken; that all of his pock-
cts had been ritied, and that one had been
torn out. The police believe that Hill
was robbed, murdered and then placed
across the rails, where his body was mashed
to pieces by the midnight express.

A SLIGHT MUSTANG Z.

A few days ago young gentleman ar
rived here from Kentucky and soon after
wards deposited his money IN the bank.
Having occasion to make some payments
he gave checks among others to MS iaun-
dry men.
Yesterday morning the latter appeared
at his room and said that the cashier re
fused to give him anything upon the cleck,
say the money had been tied up by the
order of the court" This was such a
startling statement that he Immediately
hurried to the bank and there
to his CONSERVATION learned the
facts as stated above Going next to the
district court, he was informed that the
order had been issued upon the appEca-
ton of his wife's attorney, aud further
more that his wife had been granted a
divorce from him upon the grounds OF
extreme cruelty. All this proved stlll
more startling, as he never had, to the
best of his knowledge been married. HIS
friends came to the rescue, showed that
some great mistake had been made, that
some other man bearing the same name
was the party to the u t, and after con
siderable difficulty had the money released
from the grasp of the law.
