REV. MIR. GEORGE CONVICTED
For Causing the Death of a Girl Whom
He Had Ruined.

CATsKILL, n. Y, Nov. 14-The jury in the
George case returned verdict of guilty tonight
in the case OF Rev. Harrison w. George, OF Leeds,
indicted for manslaughter in the first degree
Tor causing by abortion the death of his pretty
adopted daughter, Lolita Townsend. The Judge
imposed a sentence of fifteen years in the peni-
tentiary. The prisoner addressed the court, de-
nying that he had anything to do with the abor-
ton, and saying that he had been misrepre-
sented and unjustly convicted.
Rev. Mr. George was an eloquent man in the
pulpit, and by a series OF revival meetings at
Leeds doubled his congregation. Il was brought
out during the trial that Lottie Townsend, after
the operations had been performed on her aud it
was evident that she was seriously ill and in
cilned to make a confession, became sus-
pieious that the Rev. Mr.. George was going to
poison her. She was alone in the ministers
house with only old Mrs. Hood a nurse Mrs.
Hood had her own household duties to perform
and could not devote her entire time to Lotta.
Possibly 1t was mistaken kinkness that caused
the Rev Mr. George to enter the sick girls
room ana throw opea the windows, although it
was midwinter aud very cold Mrs Hood had
lett the room few minutes before, and
when she returned the wind was blow
ing in on the sick girl, whose condition
demanded the most careful nursing Lotta after
that morning insisted that Mrs. Hood should
prepare her meals in her own kitchen and not
ia the parsonage. She trembled when Mr..
George entered her room, and when Coroner
kortz came to take her ante-mortem statement
she told him that she was afraid George would
poison her Il he knew that she had made con-
fession The girls confession convicted the
clergyman. She testified that DR.. Degrand
Erway performed an operation on her in the
presence of DR.. George. She said that she
talked with Mr.. George about her condition
when she discovered it. George told her one
day, about the first of December, that be had
been riding with DR.. Erway and that the
doctor had agreed to perform the opera
ton. Accordingly, by Georges direction, she
went to DIR. Erways Office alone. The doctor
refused to perform the operation. unless Mr..
George was present She returned to the par
sonage, and on the following Monday George ac-
companied her to Dr. Erway's Office, where the
first operation, which she described in detail,
was performed. George was present. DR..
Erway told her to come again in two weeks.
George accompanied her the second time to
Erways Office and witnessed this operation
The third operation was performed in Georges
house on December 2S. That night, while
George was asleep in an adjoining room and she
was alone, her child was born. She cared for
herself as best she could, and in the morning
George took the dead body of the child and
threw II into the snow

New York's Fear of Water Famine.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14-People here are in fear
OF water famine, or great scarcity, at least il
the drought continues. Chief Engineer Bird
sail, of the Croton aqueduct, in speaking regard
ing it, said:
The present supply from Croton river is
about 100000 gallons day, and this
grow less as the drought continues The
reserve supply in Kirk lake, Lake Ma
hopac and other smaller lakes has been
entirely exhausted. / am trying to hold all the
water can in the Central park and the Forty
second street reservoirs for use in case of fire.
But with the utmost economy the water there
has steadily fallen, and is now lower than ever
before Men were sent out yesterday to turn off
the water from all public and private drinking
fountains and open hydrants, and all sprinkling
about 100000 gallons per day. The reduction
OF pressure will also save over 1000, 900 a day
All that will save us from water famine now
will be fall of two inches of rain.

Austria's Conservative Policy.

ideutically the same conservative eastern
policy. He stated from personal

Co, steel Harveyized plates OF the same firm,
and high carbon nickel-steel Harveyized plate
from the Bethlehem Iron Works. A sx-ineh
rife was used in firing twelve out of the fifteen
shots fired, and were placed with the end of the
muzzle fifty feet to the rear of the plates
Five shots in all were discharged nj each plate,
four by six-inch gun at the four corners and
one shot in the center of each plate by an eight
inch rifle. Each plate was 1OIz inches in
thickness member of the ordnance board,
speaking OF the experiment, said any one of the
shots would have gone through the steel arrnor
OF any ship in the world, and an explosion
would have destroyed the vessel Commodore
folger, chief of the ordnance bureau, in sum
ming up the results OF the tests, said:
The high carbon nickel plate from Bethlehem
mas shown less penetration and less cracking
than the others and is decidedly the best plate
The penetration was markedly less and the
cracking one-third less than the plates of the
other day. In no case did the point of the pro
Jeetlle go into the oak backing, aud the plate
cracked toward the weaker side. If this side
had been normally treated IL is fair
TO suppose that no crack would have
occurred The high carbon nickel-steel plate
from Carnegie's was 45 per cent carbon, which
we knew before we fred at it., was too high,
and that ii would probably crack. The temper
ing methods used in the low carbon plate,
Harveylzed, were defective, and we did not ex-
pect from it any better results than from the
Harveyized nickel plate which Carnegie fur
nickel-steel plate from Bethlehem, which has
been our favorite, and is unquestionably
superior to any armor that has been tried in
this country or BY this board.
