THE WIFE-MURDERER.
Collins Found Guilty of Murder of
the First Degree.

Patrick j. Collins, who so brutally murdered
his wife In a kindergarten on Folsom street
last October, was adjudged guilty of murder in
the first degree last night and the penalty Is
death.
The defense introduced evidence yesterday to
impeach the testimony OF John Kelly, an EN-
plOye of the North Beach and Mission Railroad
Company, who swore that he saw Collins enter
the house few minutes before the woman was
found ON the sidewalk. The evidence spoken
OF tended to show that Kelly was notorious
straw bondsman, perjury being charged against
him in four Instances where he had sworn 10
the uDincumbered ownership of imaginary
property. Testimony to this effect was given
by Deputy Internal Revenue Inspector Louis
Loop and Broker A. +. Adams, both OF whom
testih that Kelly had acted as bondsman 10
Chinese cases before the Federal courts, receiy-
ing money for the use of his name.
Chief OF Police Crowley was called to deny
that he Tad ever said to Collins, "You will hang
by the neck for this, my man."
The evidence was closed, and Assistant Dis
trlct Attorney PeiXOttO addressed the jury for
the prosecution. He was followed by AttOr-
Deys 2. c. HanlOn and George ColwelI, the
closing address being made by eX-Judge Robert
Ferral, special counsel for the prosecution.
The Judge then charged the jury at length.
AT half-past O'Clock the jurors returned into
court. when the foreman announced that he
was ready to state the verdict
In answer to the usual question asked by the
clerk the foreman answered, ave find the de-
fendant guilty of murder of the first degree"
AS tne jury uIu NOT declare what the penalty
should be, it remains for the Judge 10 pro-
nounce the sentence of death npOn the prisoner,
VINO was ordered TO appear next Saturday to
hear the judgment.
His counsel gave notice that at that time a
motion Tor new trial would b. made.
when the jury entered the courtroom, and
each juror took his seal, Collins looked at each,
evidently trying 10 discover If he could read
what the verdict would be. and after h. had
scanned the faces OF all he bent his head, cast
his eyes toward the floor and never once looked
up while the foreman pronounced the words
which are the warning that he Will be led TO the
gallows. He remained in that same position
until Deputy Sheriff tapped him on the shout
der, and bad him hold up his arms so the hand
cuffs could be placed on his wrists. After that
he was removed TO the County Jail.

IN THE YELLOWSTONE.
A Magnificent Painting From the
Brush of Hill.

Lovers OF art Will be more than pleased to
learn that Thomas Hill has Just finished
another picture OF characteristic western
scenery. His pictures of the Yosemite, the
Seikirk Glacier, the Denver aud Rio Grapde
Canyon. etc.. have justly won him Worldwide
reputation as the best delineator OF mountain
scenery. The present picture will enhance his
reputation. if that be possible, in this direction
1he scene OF the picture Is the Grand CANYON
OF the Yellowstone, viewed from point near
John Hanee's Cabin and looking toward the
northeast through huge gap on the Arizona
side. On one size OF the gap is Ayers Butle
on the other is tile rock behind which Hance's
trail goes down 10 the bottom OF the CANYON at
this point about 1000 feet deep. Into the
mighty rift the eye looks more than 5000 feet
on either side of which The rocks rise in myriad
shapes and forms.
The breadth of the canyon at the point of
view IS over ten miles, while the depth pictured
is at least seventy miles, showing on the far
distant horizon the mountains OF New Mexico
LII Is grand scene and It's treatment is on a
grand scale. Not only has the painter con-
Veyed the breadth and distance, but the color
Ing has been seen by the eye of one who sees
like poet and has power of band TO give his
vision right expression.

throws the half-burned butt into the gut

has bounced upon the butt or "snipe" and
walks happily away, putting at the chewed

"Everytime 'snipe' is snatched or shot.

then be untenable.

Alexander Moore. 81 years Of age appeared
before Judge Levy yesterday with a petition
asking that he be appointed the guardian of the
person and effects OF his 63-year-old brother,
Thomas w. Moore, an alleged incompetent. 1t
appeared that L. w. Moore used TO be a bust
ness man OF high intelligence and acquired
considerable wealth until the year 1873 when
he was seized W i!h paralysis, from which he
had never thoroughly recovered. In coDse-
oueDce bis property had dwindled so much mat
In few years he would have had nothing left.
As It is he now possesses a valuable sixiy-acre
ranch In Alameda County and Gao acres at
Pescsdero, San Mafeo County. His wife died
January of the present year, aud Alexander
Moore stated 10 the court that his brother was
now left Alone with no one to look after him.
Accompanying the petition was the written
consent OF Thomas W. Moore 10 the proposed
arrangement, and so Judge Levy made the re-
Quired order without delay.

A despatch to the Evening Post
from Washington gives the follow
ing extract from letter received by
Secretary Morton from "a prominent
citizen Of Nebraska veteran who
did highly honorable service in the
Union Army during the war;
/ Have list of sixty names in
Que Nebraska company who are
drawing from Sc to $24 per month.
Not one of them ever saw an enemy
or ever fired gun at an enemy or
contracted any disability during the
eleven months they served One of
them, who was in the guard house a
good portion of the time for robbing
a poor woman of $l50-a common
drunkard who has whiskey rheum a
tism--is drawing $l2 month. This
is an alarming state of affairs. If
sixty-one men out of one company
are wrongfully drawing pensions,
what must the total number of fraud
ulent pensions be?
There are numberless similar cases
of gross frand. The country is full
of them. Every State has its quota.
In the light of rapidly accommodating
evidence it is impossible to doubt
that the pension lists are honey
combed with fraud Exposure of
the facts is not an attack on honest
veterans or upon any good men. 1t
is the necessary preliminary to puri-
flying the pension roll and making il
roll of honor.

A Foolish Wish.

A writer in the New York Sun
says that many farmers, mechanics
and business men are in favor OF
some great war with some strong ma
tion in the next few years" and that
"many educated men think such a
war desirable, because it would offer
new opportunities of career to thou
sands who are now engaged in a
fierce competition for every chance of
business or professional success.
This is rather startling state.
ment, but it is probably correct
one. 1t is safe to assume, however,
it is made by generation who have
shifted the "roar of conflict, the car
mage of death" only through the me
dium of books and the anecdotes of
old soldiers. Probably none Of the
"boys' on either side who carried a
musket during the recent episode are
signing for another war or deem it
would be a good thing. They realize
to the full the horrors of it, and are
probably willing to struggle on in
the "fierce competition" of the peace
full walks of life rather than again
march to the tented field.

probably the most successful and
