EFFECTS OF THE MINE STRIKE.
Unprecedented Gravity of the Trade
Crisis in England.

CrlS1s In England.
LONDON, April 16.-Daily the effects
of the strike of the Durham coal min
ers which was inaugurated on the 18th
of March last, are becoming more
apparent. Stocks of fuel at
the work, which have depended upon
the Durham mines for their supplies
are either entirely exhausted or ap-
preaching the vanishing point. Never in
the course of the history of the
trade and industry in the North Of
England has there been so grave cri-
sis. It is impossible to correctly esti-
mate the number of men who have
been thrown out of work by the strike
of the miners.

Begin Seeding Now.

1t is full time now that every farmer
was preparing his ground for seeding.
On most farms the frost is sufficiently out
of the ground and the land dry enough to
admit of work. and in view of the fact that
very little plowing was done last fall it be-
comes necessary to improve the earliest
practical opportunity for preparing the
ground this spring. There has never been
a spring since 1882 which has opened un-
der as favorable auspices and promised
such an abundant crop season as the pres
ent, and every farmer should take advan-
tqge of Natures smiles and begin his work
as early as possible. Don't wait under a
lazy mans excuse, "that there's lots of
time yet," for that will catch you in the
fall without crop to harvest. As "the
price of liberty is eternal vigilance" SO
the reaping of an abundant harvest is in
the thorough tilling and early seeding of
the toll

DosUrucUron OF a ramons Onnv,nu.

The most magnificent chateau in Bel
gium, or indeed anywhere in the north
west of Europe, has just been almost
entirely destroyed by fire. Its name is
the Chateau de Dave. 1t stands on the
banks of the River Meuse and belongs
to the duke of Fernan Nunez, the faith
er-in-law of the duke of Alba. The
castle is surrounded by forest park
of two thousand acres and inclosed by g
massive wall, which the duke erected
some twenty years ago after dispute
with the Belgian police, who had at
tempted TO prevent both himself and his
guests, among whom was the prince of
Wales from shooting in consequence of
their being without gun licenses. The
chateau, says the New York Recorder,
was crowded from cellar to garret with
all kinds of wonderful works of art,
valuable pictures and magnificent
tapestries, only small portion of
which were saved. The cellars of the
chateau in particular were famed for
the brand of hermitage preserved
there, which is stated to be the very
finest in Europe.

HARRIS CONVICTED
Found Guilty of Murder in
the First Degree.
FOR KILLING HIS GIRL WIFE.
1t Took the Jury Que Hour and Twenty
five Minutes to Decide.
FOR KILLING HIS GIRL WIFE.

The Prisoner Listens Calmly and Was
Apparently the Coolest Person in the
Room--His Poor Mother Very Much
Afrected--He May Be Sentenced Monday
The Case win BE AppeaIed--Couvicted
One Day After the Anniversary of the
Death of His Victim.
New YoRK, Feb. 3.--Carlyle w. Harris,
the young student charged with having
poisoned his wife, Helen Potts, was found
guilty of murder in the first degree at
i0;45 last night by a jury of his peers.
The case has been one of the most
sensational of its kind in recent years,
and has attracted a widespread interest.
On February 1, 1891, Helen Potts,
daughter of wealthy railroad contrac-
tor of Asbury Park, who was in attend
ance at fashionable boarding school in
this city, died after brief illness.
The death, at first, was supposed to be
due to natural causes, and preparations
proceeded for the funeral Then, in some
manner, the name of Carlyle Harris
also of Asbury Park, who was studying
medicine in this city, became linked with
that of the dead girl.
The whispers grew as time progressed,
until finally the authorities in this city
took cognizauce of the matter and an
autopsy was held on the body of the
young lady, which resulted in the discov-
cry that death was due to morphine
poisoning.
Harris was arrested and indicted, and
then the fact leaked out that he and
Miss Potts bad been clandestiuely mar
ried. Facts were developed which showed
the young mans character up in no
favorable light, and the authorities
became convinced that he had murdered
the young woman.
He admitted having prescribed some
morphine pills for his wife for some af-
fection which he claimed she was afflicted
/ with, but stated that the doses were not
sufficiently large to do her harm.
! About two weeks ago the case came to
trial and has been progressing ever since.
/ Yesterdag the summing up occupied
most of thcl1y and early last evening
Recorder S:si,l charged the jury. They
went out ahuus $3.50 and at l0;45 returned
! verdict OF murder in the first degree.
The verdict was very unexpected to the
accused, but Harris maintained his com
posure and was, apparently, the coolest
person in the room. His mother, who
has been constantly at his side during
the trial, was very mucn affected and
created scene She fell back in her
! chair shrieking madly, cts lie, lie ~
/ 1t was several minutes before she again
became composed.
1t is understood that he will be sen
fenced naxt Monday. The case will bC

method of keeping dry when caught in

from shelter when a shower came up,
and as he was greatly opposed to work

had to be done, Quietly removing his
shirt, he rolled it up snugly and tucked
it into a hollow log and went on with
his work. The rain came down on his
barred back with great acceptance, re-
freshing him wonderfully. The sun
soon appeared and he resumed his fan

Everything Points to Him as the Muir
deIer of Mrs, Senior


deIef of Mrs, Senior.
MnBURN, n. j., Feb. 3.-The examina-
tion of Mrs Elizabeth Seniors body, who
was murdered on Sunday, revealed
twenty-four wounds, many made after
death.
Everything now points to Gustave
Lentz as the murderer, as many of his
statements have been found to be false.
Lentz has bad record and is well known
in the Fourth precinct. Last night Cap
tain Glori made tour of the saloons in
which Ientz alleges he spent his time
from p. nj. on Saturday until Sunday
at a. m. AT every point his alibi was
contradicted.
Lentz said he was in Georges Concert
Hall at 3 p. m. on Saturday. The pro
prietor denied that he was there. Many
minor points of his ahbi were also dis
proved Other saloons were visited, but
no one remembered having seen Lentz in
any one of them.
A point argued against him is his tall
with Schlosser, the bartender on Spring
field avenue IN it the prisoner said that
the August Lentz whose name had beer
mentioned in the case was his brother
in-law
No blood was found on his clothes. AZ
he threatened if he ever got in troubl,
he would commit suicide, he is closely
watched Coroner Phelan will hold al
inquest on Thursday.

Baron Afunchausen.

Baron Munchausen, the father in lit

name is a synonym for exaggeration
and wild creation of misinformation,
was Karl Friedrich Hieronymus, a
member of an ancient and noble fami-

at Bodenwerder, served as cavalry
officer in the Russian campaign against
the Turks, and died in February, 1897.
A collection of his marvellous stories, o1
stories attributed to him, was first pub
lished in London in 1885, the compiler
being Erich Raspe, an eXpatriated coun
tryman of the baron's. In 1856 the Ger

version. Several of the adventures as
cribed to the baron are known to have
appeared previously in Bebels Face
