Found Guilty.

SEATTLE. Feb. 26, Special.-The Wick
ersham trial, which has been in progress
in the district court for over a week,
closed at 4:45 this afternoon when the
jury returned a verdict of guilty. as
charged in the indictment" At 8 o'clock
this morning Judge Burke commenced de-
livering the charge to the jury. The
charge, without dealing at all with the de-
tails Of the case, was of such a nature as to
place every aspect of the evidence before
the jury in clear and concise manner and
the rules of law governing the same and at
10 o'clock the jury retired. A large num-
Der of ballots were taken without agree
ment, two or three of the jurors holding
out against the majority, who went for
conviction, on the ground that the prose.
cution had not clearly proven the chastity
of the prosecutrix previous to her seduc-
tion. About 4 o'clock it was rumored that
instructions on this point, but few
minutes later an agreement was
reached and the jury reported to
the court. judge Wickersham was
present with Charles Sullivan one Of his
attorneys when the verdict was announced.
The defendant displayed but little emotion
and his counsel Immediately after the
polling of the jury gave notice of a motion
for the arrest of judgment and a new trial.
IL this is denied an appeal will be asked
on large number of exceptions taken.
During the day the U. S. grand jury
had returned an indictment against
Judge Wickersham for subornation
of perjury in persuading Miss Brantner,
the prosecutrix in the case, to make false
entries on public land, and after the ver-
dict was announced he was arrested in the
court room by United States Marshal
Hamilton upon this charge. He furnished
bail in the sum of $4,000 with DR.. F. c.
Miller of Tacoma as surety.

A Vehicle Run by Gas.

At an exhibition in Munich recently, much attention was attracted by a vehi- cle run by 8 motor driven by gas, which 1t generates from benzine or analogous material. This new vehicle is well shaped compared with others of the same class.
 The motor, which Is not visible from the outside, Is placed in the rear of the three-wheeled carriage over the main axle, and the benzine used in its propul- sion is carried in a closed copper recepta- ole secured under the seat, from which it passes drop by drop to the generator, and which holds enough benzine for a journey of about seventy-flve miles. The gas mixture Is ignited in closed oylin- der by means of an electric spark-a very safe and reliable arrangement. After regulating the admission of tho gas, tho motor can be started by simply turning a hand-leveR.
 The operator climbs upon the seat and. by pressing the lever at his left. sets the motor into operation, and it starts the vehicle, being connected with the back wheels. The speed of the motor can be increased or diminished at will by turn ing the lever backward or forward, and it can be stopped by pulling on the lever.
 The vehicle is steered in the same man. ner as @ tricycle.. by 0 small front wheel It can attain a speed of about ten miles on hour. but in crowded streets it can be made to move as slowly as an or dinary vehicle A quart of benzine Is sufficient for an hours trip, making the cost of the motive power cents an houT.-N. \.

Rapid work Of Butchers.

One recent afternoon about fifty local butchers congregated at Q little elaught- ering-house on the east bank of the Kaw river, il. Kansas City. Kan, to witness g contest between two expert butchers in dressing two bullocks. Frank Hoeben and John Seiber were the contestant Is. A purse of $50 was posted by each per son. Two medium-sized steers were driven into the slaughter-house.
 At o'clock time was called and each man selected his bullock and felled him with well-directed rifle shot. With lightning rapidity the two men set to work with knives and other butchers implements. The hides, heads and hoofs were taken of in jiffy, an d before the expiration of seven minutes the ani' malls were swinaing above the floor. The process of disembowelhng required but few seconds. In precisely 1Om 13s. Hoeben's beef was dressed and fiji for any retail butchers block. Seibel finished just thirteen seconds later his time being 1Om. 26s. This may be con- sidered remarkable feat in scientific butchery, and while there arc few butchers who claim that they can per form the work in less time. it fig quite doubtful if this record has ever been beaten.-Kansas City Times.
