held long consultations with those

not attend the examination, as she will
not be needed.
Charles H Stoll, senior counsel for
Colonel Breckenridge, is here. He said:

ined all the witnesses except one-Sis-
ter Agnes, of the Founding Asylum,
who is i'll at present. The court ad-
journed sine die, and will hear no more
evidence unless Sister Agnes recovers
sufficiently, when we may take her
testimony. This may not be necessa-
~, as Mr.. Desha Breckinridge has
a written statement from her, in which
she denies that Miss Pollard was ever
in the asylum. Miss Pollard claims
that she had a boy baby in it. The
plaintiff has failed to prove single al

or not. Hawkins said she was smitten
with Julian at the time. That was
when she was about sixteen years old.
John O'Toole, resident farmer at the
asylum, whsre James Rodes, Miss Pol
lard'S protector, was employed, testified
that Rodes wanted him to lend him
money TO give her. He refused it.
Rodes told him she was continually
wanting money.
Miss Molly Shindelbower, Of Mem

partly raised by an aunt OF Miss Pol

young men of bad reputation, taking
rides with them at night, often staying

John Brand testified that he first saw
Miss Pollard in 1883 at the house Of

told him was Miss Pollard, ran out of

The Trial OF the Mansfield Coal Niue Ri
Oters Closed-RO Verdict Yet.
PITrsBURG, PA, February 10 The
fate of the 6ftv-eight Mansfield coal re-
giou rioters is now With the jury. At
the opening Of court to-day Judge Ew-
ing delivered his charge and at eleven
o'clock the jury retired.
In the charge the Judge was very
severe on the defendants. He said:
MANY persons think a strike excuses
the commission of any crime. Mobs
and riots are usually composed Of a
small proportion Of knaveS and large
proportion OF fools. That is the case
here. The knaves kept in the back
around. Not single American
citizen was in this mob, so far
as the testimony goes, but no
prejudice against foreigners should
weigh with you. They should, how
ever, be taught TO obey our laws. The
defence of alibi is looked on with suSpi-
cion by courts. II is the rOgue's de-
fense, il is the easiest defense manu-
featured; it is not an honest mans de-
Tense except under peculiar circum-
stances"
The jury had not agreed when court
adjourned, and Judge Ewing left the
court house saying be would not return
tO-nighs, A sealed verdict may be
handed in however.
Late tonight the Jury sent in a sealed
verdict The exact wording Of the YER
diet cannot be obtained tonight, but il
is reliably known that 35 of the 5S de-
fendants are convicted Of riot as
charged.

u
CHARLESTON, w. VA, February 10
Hon. w. 5. Edwards company, which
is piping this city for natural gas, seems
to have the utmost confidence in the
success of its project. Mr.. Edwards
mas been for many years engaged in a
search for gas near here, and seems
finally to have succeeded. The COM
pany which he has interested has had
men at work all winter, frequently sew
eral hundred men being at work at the
same time, laying the mains, and in a
few weeks every street In the city will
have been piped. A right to lay
the mains and supply gas
has also been secured from the Elk City
Council and the mains will also be Ia
ken there. Fully sixty thousand dollars
will be spent simply in laying the mains
IN the two cities, which shows the conf
dence the company has. 1t is said that
should the natural gas give out the com
pany can make cheap fuel gas from
the waste at the coal mines near which
the we'll is located and supply IL as rea-
sonably as the natural gas. BY many it
is supposed that the greater part Of
their gas will be 50 produced. However
the citizens are rejoicing over the pros
poets of this cheap and convenient fuel
aud the company is going ahead with It's
work.

Day exercises, the rear car jumped the
track near Albany, with terrible results.
The train was running at the rate OF twenty
miles an hour and at that moment was on
the top OF an embankment about twenty
feet high. The derailed car at once plunged
down the steep bank, rolling over three
times in its descent, hurting its unfortunate
occupants with terrible violence against car

deep ravine was on fire, and the Worlds
Fair express, with several hundred passen-

markable presence of mind, the little one
tore off her red flannel petticoat, ran down
the track, until she came in sight OF the APP
preaching train and waved her skirt as
danger signal. A number of French pas.
sengers were aboard the train. They called
the attention of the French Worlds Fair
commissioners to the incident, and they in
turn laid it before President Carnot. The

learning it, President Carnot at once for
warded the medal given only in recognition
of acts of heroism.
