A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.

Tho Second of the Assem- bly, Dances Was
Given Last Night.
Last evening the second Of the assem-
bly, dances given by the young society
people of Wheeling took place at the
Mcclure house and was success far
beyond what its promoters hoped for.
Added to the largest attendance Of the
season, in fact the largest and most
brilliant seen in local society event for
several years, thero was an indefinite
something in the atmosphere that made
the evening one to be remembered, "full
many day."
The dancing started early and was
continued until an early hour this morn
ing, and took place in the main dining
room, which had been especially deco
rated and arranged for the occasion.
The dance was remarkable for the nu-
merous new and elegant costumes
shown to admiring eyes for the first
time, triumphs OF the dressmaker's art
that added to the brilliauCy Of the
event.
The affair was in charge Of the follow
ing committee: Messrs. J. g. Hearne,
Guy T. Scott, r. G. Haase and Charles
B. Cook. After the succesa Of last even
ing the friends Of these young gentle
men assert that in their vocabulary
"there is no such word as fall" The
patronesses of the assembly were
Mesdames F. ]. Hearne, Dr. Aschmann,
Walker Peterson, Gibson Lamb, 7. G.
MoiFat, G. Ed. Mendel, N. B. Scott and
]. l. Rice.
In addition to tho very large turnout
OF home society people there were n
number Of visitors from ont OF town, in

New York, Dec. 29.-Chauncey NJ.
Dopew when called upon by an Associ-
atcd Press reporter tonight and in.
formed that Prendergast had been con-
victed and sentenced to death, said:
'Tha verdict is very gratifying to me
and should be SO to every citizen as q
vindication OF the supremacy OF the law.
1t is q verdict which does great credit
to Chicago and demonstrates as did her
action in the case OF the anarchists,
her fearless and determined effort to
make her municipality safe for life and
property"
Russell Sagesaid: "Ithink he deserves
it ii ever any one did. His professions
of insanity were taken in order to gain
the sympathy OF those who might be-
lieve in him. think the influence Of
tho verdict will be wholesome one.
1t will teach the masses TO have no
sympathy for cranks, that they are re-
sponsiblo to the law which ia the bull
wark and protection Of our lives and
liberty, and its influences will be re-
straining TO them"

BERLIN, Dec. 29-The Nous Nachrchtsn,
of Munich, on December 8 last, an
nouuced that on the Sunday previous,
DecemberS, at Genoa, Italy, the Princess
Elizabeth, of Bavaria, had been married
to Lieutenant siegfrid Auf Buttenheim,
OF the Bayarian army.
This news caused a decided sensation,
as the princess is a granddaughter Of
the emperor of Austria, as we'll AZ a
granddaughter OF the prince regent Of
Bavaria, But the sensation which the
report OF the marriage created is as
nothing to the CONSERVATION caused
in imperial and royal circles to-
day by the announcement made
by the Germanid, the other organ OF the
Clerical party, which declares that the
Princess Elizabeth was not married to
Lieut.. Siegfrid, and that she is not now
married to him, although they are liV-
ing together.
The Germania adds other news which
is undoubtedly most painful to the re-
latives OF the princess. but, as it is not
fit to be published, It is not contained in
these dispatches.

rison, IT,, ono OF the proprietors OF the
Times, in discussing the verdict this
evening. said:
II was not surprised when | heard

THE ASSASSIN.
"Please ask the gentleman to excuse
me, would prefer not to talk to any
one tonight" This was the verbal re-
sponse Of Patrick Eugene John Prem
dergast, the condemned murderer, as he
sat in his cell at 0 o'clock to written
message that the Associated Press
would be pleased to receive and put on
the wires any statement that Prender-
CAST might be disposed to make.
Prendergast, when removed from the
court room after tho verdict and Its
death penalty had been rendered by
the Jury. was placed in coll No. II,
which faces the visitors cage.
His brother John then came to the
Jail. "Lst him come in, want to SEQ
him." said the condemned man. The
brothers grasped hands and neither
spoke for n time. Then John said:
"Don't lose hope, Gene; we'll do all we
can"
Later the assassin's attorneys called
and did what they could to cheer him
up. When supper time come he ate
his food with apparent relish, and then
settled back in his chair in silence.
His reception Of the first request for an
interview was not so courteous as that
accorded to the Associated Press. VI
won't see reporters" he snNrled, when
soon after supper he was informed a
newspaper man wished 10 talk with
him. "The newspapers never did treat
me right" he said; "they always lied
about me, and l won't talk to reporters
any more" That ended the matter,
and he was left to himself.
The Inter Ocean says: No one who
had followed the case could have ex-
pucted any other result and the public
generally will approve the verdict. The
only question raised was as to the muir
derers sanity, and the defense utterly
failed to make him out lunatic. That
he is a crank, in the ordinary accepta.
ton of that term, his mind constitution
ally detective, is no doubt true But
the true object OF punishment lie to pro-
tect society, and there is to-day no
greater menace to human life than the
so.called cranks.
WHAT MS ATTORNEY SAYS.
Richard A. Wade, chief attorney for
Prendergast, was sorely disappointed
over the verdict. He said:
~ never felt so bad in my life. 1t

TIE FINAL ACT.

There was nothing heard from the
Jury until nm hour had elapsed. At
2:27 Bailiff Busse hurried through the
room toward the door leading to the
iai and there was a murmur that a
verdict had been found. Busse had
gone to notify the jailor to bring tho
prisoner into court and two minutes
later the Jurors filed into court and took
their places. Judge Brentano came
from his room and took his seat on the
bench and simultaneously the prisoner
was lei in.
AS quickly as the reading of the YER
dict was concluded the bailitTs hurried
Prendergast away toward the door lead
ing to the Jail, but Attorney Wade made
the usual request that the jury be poll
ed and tho Judge called to the officers to
bring the prisoner back. He was re-
turned to his seat and the clerk polled
the Jury. Then the prisoner was re-
moved and the judge announced to the
Jury that they we're excused from duty
and the proceedings were at an end.
Before the adjournment OF court MIR.
Wade made tho usual application for n
new trial and the Judge announced that
he would hear motion to that effect at
n future date.
