THE MURDERER ELLIOTT

Days Trial, With a Cost to County OF
Over $40, 900, the Jury Return q Ver-
dict OF Murder in Second Degree--This
Means imprisonment for Life,
COLUMBUS, o., July 2s.-ISpecial.l Tho
jury in the famous Elliott murder case
brought in verdict this morning OF MUIR
der in the second degree, which Is impris-
onment in the penitentiary for life. There
Is great Indignation here over the YER
dict, as II was regarded as cold blooded
murder. Elliott's killing of Osborn was
cruel and cowardly murder. He and
his brother deliberately sought out Os-
born to kill him. Much regret is now ex-
pressed that Elliott was not lynched the
day of the double murder, as he not only
killed Osborn, but an innocent by-stand-
er on the street, named Hughes. 1t 10
claimed that two of the jury were tam
pered with in the interest Of Elliott.

BUTTE, Mont, Sept. To-day the
proceedings in the famous Davis will
case were of more than ordinary inter
est. Proponent John A. Davis was on
the stand; also A. j. Davis, of the First
National bank, nephew of the late A.
j. Davis, who testified that the sigma
ture to the will was genuine.
By mutual agreement of counsel and
consent of the court, practical chem
ical test of the ink with which the will
was written took place in the presence
of the court and jury. Only one letter
in the body of the will and one letter in
each of the signatures of the attesting
witnesses, together with portion of the
scroll line under the alleged signature,
were subjected to the test.
The contestants, through their ex-
perts, Harry L. Tolman. of Chicago !;
David N. Carvalho and Daniel T. Ames,
of New York, and DR.. William E. Ho-
gan, of Troy, N. Y, have been teetifying
and claiming that the will was written
with negrosin ink, which was not known
or made until many years subsequent to
the time the instrument was executed.
They also claimed that the signature of
Sconce, the only living witness to the
will, was written with iron ink.
The tests today were conducted by B.
L. Tolman, for the contestants, while
HI. R. Sedges and 0. D.. Oston. late
superintendent of tests of the Union
Pacific system, represented the prosecu-
ton. About an hour was consumed in
making the tests and taking the testi-
mony of experts as to the result of the
tests, which showed conclusively to the
satisfaction of the contestants that the
evidence given by Sedges several days
since wastrue; that the body of the will
and all the signatures were written with
logwood ink, which has been in use for
fifty years. That opinion was confirmed
today by the analysis, and the result
has caused a sensation.
The court will present the case to the
| jury in a few days, and it is expected
that the result will be known about the

HAWAIIAN ANNExAr1oN.
The Mckinley Bill Causing the Senti
ment to Spread.


ment to Spread.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Hon. j. S. Thurs
ton, Of Honolulu, who is in the city,
said to reporter tonight that the Nc
Kinley bill has had the effect OF uniting
the native and foreign population of
Hawaii, on the subject of annexation.
He has just received one of the native
newspapers, which advocates the forma-
ton of republic or immediate annexa-
tion to the United States. This fact is
remarkable, as it is the first time in
Hawaiian history that the natives have
publicly favored such thing. While
it is true they are weary of monarchy,
yet nothing but the blow at Hawaii's
sugar industry could have brought them
to flavor annexation. The hope of the
planters there, is that the president
will next year exercise the power given
him to place duty again upon beet
sugar from such countries as have not
reciprocated with the necessary free
entries. This would relieve the burden,
but at any rate the Hawaiians are pre-
pairing to negotiate with the United
States for free trade. Thurston says
now that the sugar industry is no longer
a great source of income, it is intended
to bring the island prominently before
the world as a land for tourists.

A HeinOus Crime Perpetrated in the
Woods of MaripOsa.
MERGED, CAL, Sept. lon Sunday
night Miss Cora Eubank, who lives with
her parents in Cathey valley, Mariposa
county, was returningon horseback from
q visit at neighbor's. While riding
through thicket masked man stepped
out with a shotgun and ordered her to
stop and dismount. She presumed that
ms intention was to steal the horse.
When the masked fiend approached she
stood ready to deliver the animal.
DEMONSTRATING, however, was not his
design. He seized hold of her, threw
her to the ground, and choked
and beat her about the head until
submission to his lecherous desires was
necessary from physical exhaustion.
What happened after this Miss Eubanks
has no recollection of. When found
she was unconscious. When her con-
sciousness returned she related the cir
cumstances, and described the fiend as
being large middle-aged man, wearing
faded clothes. A large number Of
friends started in pursuit OF the Grim
'inal. They were all armed with guns,
and determined to lynch the wretch if
overtaken.

Much Ado in Central America About the
City of Panama Affair.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. Ia dispatch from
the City of Mexico says: The press of
Guatemala and San Salvador is very in
sulting to the United States IN referring
to the City of Panama incident. The
former claims that the, United States
was weak in acceding to the exactions
of Salvador, and the latter says the
United States, knowing its strength, is
arrogant toward the smaller nations.
The telegram, dated August 2lst, and
published in the United States, stat
ing that President Ezeta, Of Salvador,
had telegraphed to Ignacio Mariscal,
foreign minister of Mexico, is untrue,
but the fact is, as stated IN the dis
patches of the 18th, and had no refer
ence to the war between Guatemala and
Salvador, but to Guatemala melting the
Salyadorians to rebellion, which Ezeta
requested Rodriguez, his representative
here, 70 request Mariscal to stop, in the
interest of Central American peace.
There is no immediate danger of war in
Central America, and even the Nicara-
guam incident is a matter of personal
spite on the part of Nicaragua's presi-

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.
The National Com mission and Lady
Managers About to Meet.


Managers About to Meet.
CHICAGO, Sept. /. = The national
board of commissioners of the worlds
fair, and also the lady managers, will
meet tomorrow. One matter to come
before the commission will be the ques-
ton how to avoid deficit of about
$4,000 in the appropriation for the
year. 1t is probable that this will be
accomplished by cutting down the sal
aries. President Palmer has already
agreed to give up his $4,000 salary, and
Director General Davis voluntarily sub
mits to cut of $4,000. Twelve thousand
more will be saved by dispensing with
the April meeting.
A local paper says the finance COM
mittee is considering the proposition to
ask congress to make the fair manage
ment a loan of $5,O00,000, taking a
mortgage on the receipts. In any event,
as the government has provided for the
giving Of medals and juries of award,
congress will be asked to appropriate
enough money for medals and juries,
$500, 900 to 100000.
Traffic Manager Jaycox has been ad-
vised by the managers of the Pacific
Coast Steamship company, that all the
lines which they represent, will grant

New York, Sept. 1.-The trustees OF

at a special meeting yesterday, directed
the dismissal from the company's en-
ploy of Theodore M. Banta, cashier,
who made charges of mismanagement
against the president and trustees
Of the company, four years ago.
The charges against President
Beers were not made public at
the time, but were recently published
by the Times, which has for some
months been interesting itself with
the inside management Of the New
York life insurance company. Since
they were printed, Banta has
been subjected to criticism from
certain quarters, but he was silent until
few days ago, when he replied to the
criticisms in lengthy letter, defending
his position, and reiterating the charges
OF mismanagement and dishonesty on
the part OF Beers. The reply of the
board of trustees to this is his dismissal.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The fact that the
Burlington company is pushing the ex-
tension of its lines to Helena, Mont, is
being utilized in certain quarters to
create discord among the members of
the Western Traffic association. The
Montana lines have suddenly awakened
to the fact that when the extension is
completed, the Burlington will be an
active competitor with the shortest line
from Helena to Chicago, and it is under
stood that they will lay the matter be-
fore the advisory board next month,
with the allegation that the Burlington
has violated the agreement. The Burl-
ington people say the extension was be-
gun before the Western Traffic agree
ment was formed.

men shot to death. They were charged
with having engaged in a plot to blow
UP railroad bridges and thus prevent
the movement of government troops.
Many of them were mere boys of 16 to

a small portion of the cruelties perpe-

published.

The Congressionalists are giving trials
to all against whom offenses are charged,
