NORTON, Jan. 30.-TSpeciall- THE
chances are that Talton Hall will mot
kill his twontieth man.
"Gu1ltY OF murder in the first degree
is the verdict rendered in his trial to-
day for the murder of Policeman Hyl-
ton, of Norton.
1t was 2 o'clock this afternoon whom
the jury filed into the courtroom, and
announced that they had agreed upon
verdict. The courthouse was packed
like sardines in box. and the prisoner
showed but little agitation when the
clerk real the verdict. The jury was
polled, and each man answered that
murder in the first degree was his ver
d1ot. The jury was out twelve hours
before they agreed.
Hall was interviewed after he was
taken back to his cell. lie was conf
dent that he will secure a new trial and
finally be acquitted.
This is the first time in the history of
Wise county that such verdict has
been rendered, and there is little doubt
that an early day will be fixed for Halls
execution when the sentence of tho
court is pronounced.
Hall will be removed to Lynchburg
1mmediatelyafor safe keeping. Trouble
was reared to-day, but so far the Ken
lucky rescuers have not vet advanced
upon the jail, probably having been pre-.
vented from SO doing by the prompt
action OF the authorities in taking every
possible precaution to prevent a riot and
hold the prisoner.
However, The kentucky toughs are
stlll IN the surrounding woods, and one
OIL their spies were arrested to-day and
put III Jail. a strong guard is still
maintained about the Jail, and it is
hoped that this vigorous action will
scare off the gang.

rations for it's annual reception which

committee having the matter la charge
will make no disclosures as to what they

When Joe Bedle discovered tine
gvmnastic paraphernalia of the Palma
Club stored away in the attic. ana said
that he was going to get up a gymnasium
class they laughed at him But Joe went
ahead Just the same, and the result is
that the club has a class of thirty-ive
members who, under the instruction OF
Professor Schnaibel, of the jersey City
Turnverein, are rapidly acquiring physics
aud constitutions which are well worth
having.
The Hudson Democratic Society will

THAT LiTHOGRAPHiC TRUST.

State Comptroller Hoppe uheimer Knows
Nothing About the Matter.
With reference to the alleged attempt
to form a photographic trust, General
Heppenheimer, who is interested in the
photographic establishment at Central
avenue and Franklin street, said TO a
reporter from The News last night
II know nothing whatever about a
proposed trust except what I have read in
the PAPERS. | have just returned from
Trenton and do not know what is
going on in the establishment on the Hill.
l hardly know what you mean by a Trust
among photographers. / do know there
are men interested in liJhographing con-
Germs going around among the litho-
graphers of New York and Philadelphia
eudeavoring to form an ASSOCIATION with
a view TO %cheapening the cost of produc-
ion. Competition between the various
concerns is so absolutely fierce tina there
is no longer any profit in the business"

London has ten main railroad lines.
The street car conductors Of Berlin re-
ceive only sixty-Jwo and one-half cents
for a days wages of eighteen hours. with
a half days holiday once in every two
weeks. Nothing but the most absolute
economy enables them co live.
1t is said that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road intends building a new branch line
to the battlefield at Gettysburg, TO con.
meet with the Frederick division.
The Lackawannai is preparing to extend
the spur from Sh%ippingport to the Forcite
Works, on Lake Hopatcong, so that IT
will terminate near the Mt. Arlington
Hotel.
There is little doubt now that Superin-
tendent Reasoner is to be retired on a
substantial pension and the management
of the road be given to a younger man.
Mr.. Reasoner's recent illness compels
this change, and there Is every reason to
believe that he will welcome the rest
from a lite which has been one Of almost
ceaseless activity. Who his successor
will be is not certain. Rumor named Mr..
Frank Griffith, but it is deemed more
probable in Hoboken that Mr.. Schwartz
Of the Syracuse division will be chosen.
The reason why the Newark & New
York road Is popular, an employe of an.
other road says, is because it has no fur
Their to go and It's trains can always leave
on schedule time. He might nave added
that the Newark s. New York road has
no silly and annoying ticket restrictions,
has very gentlemanly conductors aud
trainmen, and does everything to make
its patrons comfortable ana at home in
the cars. 1t does not compel conductors
to refuse coupon tickets which are ten or
eleven days old, or which are printed for
the opposite direction from which the
train is going. Some larger roads might
learn a few points from this little branch.
Mr.. G. A. Baratteni. of Newark, the
New York General Freight aud Passen-
ger Agent of the London & Northwestern
Railway. ays hat the company is again
charging its Eustou terminus in Lou
don. This company now has foul indie
pendent lines of railway from London to
Crewe, 15S miles. Those foul lines con-
meet with the platform lines and sidings
at the Euston terminus, with n compli-
Gated network of functions which are
signaled and interlocked from Il signal
cabin, which Is said to contain the larg-
est piece of interlocking machinery in
the world. This interlocking apparatus.
which WAS constructed at the company's
locomotive works at Crewe from the de-
signs of Mr.. f. w. Webb, chief mechan-
ical engineer, contains 28S levers. and
some idea may be formed of the slabor-
ate construction when 1t is stated that
provision has been nude for $4,000 locks.
On It's 1900 miles of railway the North
western now has 1.400 signal cabins, con-
tanning machinery Tor the interviewing
working of IL. 900 signals, $4,000 switches,
the largest signal plant in the world, pre-
vided at a cost exceeding S. Zoo, 900. and
involving an annual outlay of $1,000. 600.
