By the Associated Press.
WOODLAND, Cal, Nov. 9.-Samuel G.
Worden, one of the several A. r. U.
men charged with having wrecked
Southern Pacific train during the strike
in July last. causing the death OF Engi-
neer Clark and four United States
soldiers, was today convicted of murder
in the first degree. The jury offered no
recommendation. The penalty is death
or life imprisonment. The other ac-
cueed train wreckers will be promptly
tried.
The jury is warmly commended on sill
hands for the promptness with which it
rendered verdict OF guilty in the first
degree. Worden's brother was not pres.
ent and was surprised at the result, as
the prevailing opinion was that the jury
would be out long time and probably
hang. Worden watched the jury closely
dict with much interest. When the
be passed next Monday Worden was
quick to respond that il jury could
bring in such an unreasonable verdict
j. E. Strong, counsel for the defense,
says that he will move to set the verdict
aeide on the ground that the court has
no jurisdiction. If that molten is de.
MED, he will then ask for new trial on
the ground that the court erred in its
instructions to the jury.
Worden showed no signs OF weaken
ing during the concluding scenes and
was in q cheerful mood when he was re-
manded to the custody OF the sheriff.
Appleman and Hatch are said to be
much worried on account of the prompt
action OF the jury in the Worden case.
Their trial will begin on Monday, No
vember 18th. Counsel for the defense
nave not yet decided whether or not
they will demand separate trials.
The trial of Knox, Mpllin and Comp
ton will be called on the goth inst. The
remaining defendants have retained
General Hart OF Sacramento and E. E.

NINETY-FOUR SENATOR'S.
A POINT OVERLOOKED BY THE
POLITICIANS.
Control of the Upper House Of Congress
May Depend on tho Addition
of Members From tho
Now states.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. ga point that
has been overlooked in com putting the
political complexion OF the next senate
is the admission Of Utah with two sena-
tors. The act of the last sesaion OF
congress admitting Utah provides that
vention shall be held. On the first
Tuesday after the frat Monday in No
vember 0i that year the constitution ia
to be submitted to the people, and il
ratified and found by the president to
be in accordance with the act, he will
issue a proclamation admitting the ter
ritory as etate. The act also provides
that representative to the Fifty fourth
congress shall be elected at the same
time the vote IL taken upon
the constitution, and alec that
state officers and legislature
shall be chosen, and if the constitution
ately meet and elect two United States
senators. AS there is abou: month
from the time the election is held until
the Fi!ty-fourth congress meets, there
will be ample time to have all the for
hlhlltiCo CODlpllCd WltLy anu " b1AA PiO"
claimed state in time for its senators
and represent tatives to participate in the
organ cation OF the next congress. This
would make in ell 80 senators, and as
the next senate now stands, the politics
OF the Utah senators would cut an i'm
portant figure.
Another probability which arises lie
the admission OF New Mexico and Ari-
zona, which may be accomplished in
time 30 that four more senators will
participate in the organization OF the
next senate. Bills have already passed
the house for the admission of both ter.
ritories. The senate committee has re-
ported them favorably to the senate and
they are now on the calendar. Senators
of both parties have been urging their
passage.
1t is. therefore. quite likely that the
battle for the control of the senate will
yet be fought out in Utah, New Mexico
and Arizona next year. The admission
Of these new states would make total
Of 81 senators, and any party to control
would need 4S for majority. With the
vice.president, the Democrats could con.
troll the senate with AZ senators.

TRANSIT OF MERCURY.
An Interesting Astronomical Eve
Takes PIacs Today.


Takes PIacs Today.
New YORK, Nov. 9.-The transit OF
Mercury, which will occur tomorrow
morning. is causing much interest, not
only among college professors and gov
eminent officials, but among amateur
astronomers as we'll. Prof. j. K. Rees
OF Columbia college will take observa-
tions of the transit at different stages.
He will be assisted by Prof, T. p. Mcneil
and Mr.. III. S. Davis. The main points
OF contact will be the first external con-
tact, the fret internal contact, the last
internal contact and the last exterior
contact. By external contact is meant
the exact time when Mercury will first
indent the sun's disk, and by internal
contact when Mercury will be fret en-
.. rely within the disk of the sun. The
fact that the United States will be the
most advantageous place in the world to
see the transit, has induced the Rev.
Samuel Charles Worth, the famous Eng
lish astronomer, to come to this country.
The transit il scheduled to begin at 90
minutes and 43 seconds past 10 O'Clock
q. m.. and is due to end at ~ minutes
and seconds past in the afternoon.
One of the interesting features is that
observers in the United States have an
excellent opportunity to settle conclu-
sively whether Mercury does or does not
possess satellite. II there is one it will
be on the SUMS disk. above or below or
behind or in front of the planet.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The transit OF
Mercury will be observed by some dis
tinguished persons at the naval observ-
atory here tomorrow at 10 80 q. m. and
A :52 p. m. Secretary Herbert has in
vited President Cleveland and Mrs.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 9.-The whaling
bark Mars, which recently came into
port from the Arctic, has been dis
man.led and is to be burnt near here to
secure the iron and copper that is in
her. The Mars is one of the old style,
equare-ended, frigate-built barks, and
when seen alongside modern vessels
looks like relic of past age. The
Mars was built at New Bedford, Mass,
in 1894, has been almost constantly in
hard service. and among seamen has al.
ways been considered the luckieat

The Strike Investigation.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-A. J. Carroll, ed
itor of the Eight Hour Herald, was the
first witness before the strike commits
sion today. He told of the effort of the
civic federation to settle the Pullman
strike. He was informed by the Pull
man officials they had nothing to arbi-
trate. He believed compulsory arbitra-
ton applied to quasi public industries
would be beneficial, and read a letter
from friend in New Zealand showing
the beneficial results of the government
ownership of railroads and telegraphs.
Malcolm Mcdowell, newspaper re-
porter, told of the overturning of the
cars at Pullman. He said there were no
railroad strikers in the mob.
Rev. L. M. Wickham, pastor of the
Swedish Methodist church at Pullman,
was emphatic in his denunciation of the
methods of the Pullman company.

"the company's employees living outside
of Pullman are ordered to move into the
company's houses on the peril of losing
their positions. Men who have at

for at the date on which it was made the

One of the worst features of the Pullman
system of house renting is the immoral
ity it encourages. Many workmen are
compelled to rent rooms. The houses
are SO arranged that the roomers must
pass through the family sleeping apart
ments, and as result the morality oi
Pullman is much below that of the sur
rounding towns.

The New Bedford Strike.

New BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 2I.-Ev-

Work is entirely suspended.
The Rowland corporations will resume
within few days, as an agreement has
been reached. The spinners' executive
committee are devoting efforts to getting
the Bennett and Columbian mills, which
make the same line of goods as the How
land, into line. The outcome of the
strike now depends upon the cloth mills.
Some treasurers assert the mills are in
definitely locked up, but others are
quoted as saying they look for a way out
of the trouble quickly. The Bristol
mill, prosecuted recently for running
Saturday afternoons, is loaded with
orders. The operatives at mass meet
ing today voted not to return to work
until the law is complied with.

The Popgun TariF BIlIs,

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator White,
now member of the finance commit
tee, is not in favor of free silver-lead ore,
and as all the republicans hold the same
opinion it has been decided the senate
need not take into consideration the
house free lead bill. The sugar men
have taken great deal of comfort over
the vote recently had on the motion of
Senator Manderson to instruct the SEN
ate finance committee to report an
amendment to the free-sugar bill re-es-
tablishing the Mckinley sugar bounty.
1t was shown the majority of the senate
was for the bounty. When the senate
meets in December, Stewart may not
vote, which would leave the vice-presi-
dent to decide against the bounty on
tie. But it is thought by some who ad-
vocate the bounty that before vote on
the free-sugar bill or the amended bill
can be had there will be three more re-
publican votes in the senate. There
are vacancies from Montana, Washing
ton and Wyoming, and it is claimed by
the republicans the legislature elected
this fall will be all republican.

AND LOCAL TIME.
Geographical Location of the Five ,Longi-
tudinaI Belts in This Country.

Geographical Location of the Five ,Longi-
tudinaI Belts in This Country.
With the enormous increase of rail-
way travelling the necessity arose for
inventing some method of counting
time which should avoid the complica-
tions arising from the use of local mean
time, which varies with every mile of
east or west travel. What is known as
the ''new standard time'' was adopted
by agreement by all the principal rail
roads of the United States at twelve
o'clock, noon, on November 1s, 1883.
The system, says the Detroit Free
Press, divides the continent into five
longitudinal belts and fixes meridian
of time for each belt. These meridians
are fifteen degrees of longitude, corre-
spending to one hour of time, apart.
Eastern Maine, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia use the sixtieth meridian;
the Canadas, New England, the mid
die states, Virginia and the Carolinas
use the seventy-f meridian, which
is that of Philadelphia; the states
of the Mississippi valley, Alabama,
Georgia and Florida, and westward, in
Guiding Texas, Kansas and the larger
part. of Nebraska and Dakota use the
ninetieth meridian, which is that of
New Orleans. The territories to the
western border of Arizona and Mon
tana go by the time of the one hun
dred and fifth meridian, which is that
of Denver, and the Pacific states en-
ploy the one hundred and twentieth
meridian. The time divisions are
known as intercolonial time, eastern
time, central time, mountain time and
Pacific time. A traveller passing from
one time belt to another will find his
watch an hour fast or too slow, accord
ing to the direction in which he is GO
ing. All points in any time division
using the time of the meridian must
set their timepieces faster or slower
than the time indicated by the sun, ac-
cording as their position is castor west
of the line. This change of system re-
duced the time standards used by the
railroads from fiftythree to five, a
great convenience to the railroads and
the travelling public.
