The trial has been in progress since May II +.
The crime was direct result of personal
journalism"
THE JURY's SECRET.
The Jury have vowed that they will
never disclose how they stood on any of
the ballots, and thus it will probably never
he positively known who the dissenters
were. By the laws OF Ohio, murder
in the second degree is punishable
by life imprisonment, the court having no
alternative in the matter. Notice Of mo-
LlOl IOI u new LTlal WAS ludlS anu SO SEN
tence was not passed. The court fixed next
Saturday as the time for hearing arguments
on tue motion for a new trial.
WOMEN FAINT.
When the CLERK began to read the verdict
there was a highly sensational scene. When
the clerk read the Indie ment for mur-
der in the first degree" Mrs. P.
j. Elliott thought that it meant
guilty of murder in the first degree and
PARTIALLY raised up and made a suppressed
scream. She then fell back into her chair
As the clerk reached the words guilty of
murder in the second degree" Miss Maroney
arose, gave vent to a wailing cry and then
fell back in q fainting fit Mrs. w. J. FL
hott was very pale but made no demonstra-
tion.
HIS BOY IN HIS LAP.
W. J. Elliott bad his youngest boy in his
lap, and when the verdict was being read
he covered the child's eyes and mouth so he
could not see or make an outcry. When
Miss Maroney tainted the defendant turned
to her and gave some instructions about
Elliott nor her children made any demon
atration at all Miss Maroney was taken
into the judges private room, where she
soon revived ana left with the remainder
OF Elliotts relatives. AS the verdict of the
jury was read, Elliott became SO enraged
that he pulled a G. A. r. button from the
lapel OF his coat and threw IL spitefully in
the direction Of the jury. Elliott's wife and
children were escorted to the Jail, where q
fearful scene was enacted.

DON'T PLEASE THE CzAR.
He Thinks Russia Gushed Too Much
over the French Fleet.


LONDON, July 2S.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times telegraphs that
official journals do not like the enthus asm
that has been aroused by the visit Of the
French fleet to Cronstadt. He adds that IL
is asserted that the czar is displeased with
the manifestations made in favor of the re-
public and that he has ordered that no
pleasure steamer was to be allowed to ap-
proaoh near the French warships when he
visited Admiral Gervais. 1t Ia not believed
here that the visit of the French squdron to
Cronstadt will have a lasting effect upon
the friendly relations existing between the
TWO countries. The opinion is expressed
that the czar will never consent TO an actual
alliance with the French republic.
THE SPEECHES AT CRoNsTADT.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 2S.-The speeches
aboard the Marengo at Cronstadt yesterday
were very cordial The French admiral,
Gervais, toasted the czar, wishing him
glory and longevity. The Russian ndmi-
raj, the Grand Duke Alexis, responded
ana toasted President Carnot. Afterward
the Grand Duke Alexis toasted the
French admiral and feet under his COM
mand, destined for fresh laurels. The din-
ner given TO the French sailors yesterday at
the Cronstadt exchange was marked by a
lesser degree Of official character than any
OF the previous festivities. There were
about 300 sailors present and all the toasts
OF "A significant nature were drunk amid the
utmost enthusiasm.
sCRAMBLING FOR THE TRI-CoLoR.
During tho entertainment the officers Of
the French fleet appeared upon the balcony
OF the exchange, where enormous crowds Of
people greeted them with frantic cheers
and fought and struggled to
get piece of the tri-color flags
which the French officers detached from
the decorations OF the exchange and threw
among the populace, shouting at the same
time "Vive la Russie." The people about
the exchange responded to the cries with
"Nive la France" aud every way the ut
most enthusiasm prevailed. The crowds
also several times insisted upon hearing the
| "Marseillaise."
BANQUETED BY THE CzAR
The cSar and czarina gave grand ban
quet in Peterhot palace this evening in
honor of the French officers. One hundred
and sixty covers were laid. The tables were
beautifully decorated with flowers aud the
gold service was used. Among those present
were the Queen OF Greece and her daughter
all Of the grand dukes and grand duchesses
the ministers, the French admiral, the mem
bers of the French embassy and Russian
admirals. Music was furnished by the

SAN Francisco, CAL, July 2S.-George
Dixon of Boston and Abe Willis of Austria
liza fought at the gymnasium of the Cali
fornia Athletic Club tonight for purse of
$1,000 and the bautam-weight champion

unknown to many here, aud the betting be-
fore the fight was in Dixons favor, run
ming from 500 to $40, to sloO to 800. Dixon
won in the fifth round.
HARD FIGHT.
The battle occupied less than twenty
minutes. Willis was knocked out in the
fifth round, after having had the
worst of the hard fighting from
the very start. Dixon's style Of
fighting was not known very well here and
but he forced the fight from tho first round.
He rushed Willis hard Whenever he
could get him at close quarters aud
beat him with ease. Willis struggled
hard to hold out against the colored mans
assaults, ana In half dozen sharp rallies
he fought back manfully, but was not able
TO hit as hard or as frequently as his oppo-
nent.
UNMERCIFULLY POUNDED.
His quickness and his ability TO stand
hard punishment saved him from defeat
earlier, but after being knocked down in the
first round and unmercifully pounded in
the four following rounds be was greatly
weakened, and the blow which finally sent
him out was light one compared to dozen
others which he had received. Dixon was
apparently uninjured, and as soon as he saw
that Willis could not rise in the 9th round.
the oolored man gave leap almost half
across the ring while the spectators cheered
him wildly. .......-''
