kILRAIN'S SENTENCE.

PURv1s, Miss, March 3.-The Supreme
Court has affirmed the verdict against
Jake Kilrain. He is now required to be
delivered to the sheriff and serve
his sentence of two months confine-
ment in the Purvis Jail and pay a fine
of 5000, else his bond will be forfeited
decision in John L. Sullivan's case is
expected next Monday.
Kilrain is now at Hot Springs, but
will return at once to begin his term of
Imprisonment. He is fortunate in hav-
ing his sentence affirmed early, for his
term will be completed before the hot
spell begins. Under the Mississippi
law county convicts are sold to the

be bid in by Charley Rich or some other
friend, and it is not probable that either
will be compelled to perform especially
arduous labor.

CAMDEN, N. j., March 4.-The closing
scenes of the Leconey trial were very
exciting. When Richard S. Jenkins,
the old lawyer who conducted the trials
of the State in Camden county for
twenty years previous to his succession
by his nephew, Wilson H. Jenkins, six
years ago, arose to make the final argu-
ment for the State, the large audience
listened with breathless attention. At
the end of half an hour Mr.. Jenkins
complained of the ventilation of the
court room.
few minutes later he was seen to
stagger, and but for the assistance of
his nephew would have fallen.
He was led from the court room and

THERE are four members of the United

Pasco, Of Florida, in London, Eng.
While it is tho exception rather than
otherwise that Senator was born in the

been closely observed. OF the Northern
Senators only two were born in the
South-Cullom, of Illinois, and Senator
