MURDERHRs SENTENCED.
Garvin Gets Eight Years and Sls
Months-Zappa Brothers to Die.


Months-Zappa Brothers to Die.
PIITsBuRa, Nov 29-Frank Garvin,
the newspaper artist who murdered his
wife, Cora Redpath Garvin, was SEN
fenced to nine years in the penitentiary.
Garvin's friends were surprised at the
sentence, as the jury recommended the
utmost leniency to the court. When
Garyin had been removed to the Jail
Joseph and Angelo Zappa were called
before the bar. Judge Kennedy over.
ruled the motion for new trial, and
both were sentenced to death by hang
ing. They were convicted of the mur-
der of Frank Helmstetter on July 4.
George Strasser, who killed Joseph
BRANDED last August, was then called
and also sentenced to death by the
court. Frank Garvin was recalled and
his sentence changed from nine years to
eight years and six months in compli-
ance with the law forbidding the re-
lease of prisoners in winter months.
When Joseph and Angelo Zappa were
taken to jail they became extremely
violent. Angelo butted his head against
the stone wall until the blood streamed
from cuts, and then jumped from the
cell range to the floor, twenty feet be-
low, and is badly though not fatally hurt.
Joseph also battered his head almost to
o jelly against the bars of his cell door.
They were removed to padded cells and
special watch placed on them.
Joseph Zappa's wife, who was in the
court room when her husband was SEN
fenced, created a painful scene and had
to be removed by the court officers.

THE MONEY ooNoRnss,
Rothsohild's Proposal-Amerioan Dele
gates Anticipate Substantial Results.


BRUSSELS, Nov. 90 In the inter
national monetary conference yesterday
Mr.. Alfred de Rothschild, of the En-
glish delegation, proposed that the
powers engaged in the conference should
form an association, having for its OBJ
ject the collective purchase annually Of
e5,00o,00 sterling, equal to $4,000, 900
francs Of silver, this to continue for a
maximum period of five years, under the
express condition that the government
of the United States should continue its
monthly purchase of silver, similar to
the purchases heretofore made by said
government, equal to about $4,000, 900
ounces of silver.
Also that the collective purchases of
the powers should be suspended if in the
course of the said five years silver should
reach the price of forty-three pence an
ounce, the result desired being to con-
slider how to obtain that rate
The Rothschild proposal was referred
to a special commission of fourteen dele
gates. The same commission was in
structed to consider and report on the
plans of Moritz Levy and Adolph Soet-
beer, mentioned in the proposals of the
United States delegates. The commits
sion on the American proposals will sit
daily and will report to the conference
on Friday next. The Americans mani
fest increasing hope that the conference
will not adjourn without having achieved
some substantial results.
