DISTRICT COURT.
Sentence Imposed on Con.
 viCted Prisoners.
Ferguson Gets the Limit of the Law The Signing of Wm. Prices
 Death Warrant.

The unfortunates who were caught in the meshes of the law during the late draggingl of the criminal seine were brought up for sentence yesterday Henry Fergu son, convicted of burg glary in the second degree, was first and fore most. Judge Baker complimented him in extravagant terms upon his skill as crook and gave him the limit, five years. The court seemed to regret that the gentlemen who made the laws had been so economical in the matter of time. After passing sentence he said to the prisoner: "Now if you can find any mercy in this, you may thank the legislature and damn the court.''
 The prisoner sat under the scoring he received smiling and twisting the ends of his jet black mustache.
 Very different was the lecture ad- ministered to George McInernay who was permitted to withdraw his plea of not guilty to embezzlement and plead guilty to petit larceny. The court spoke of the letters the prisoner had re- ceived from his mother and said that mothers care and prayers could pre- nent a man from being wholly bad. The prisoner was young and his indis- cretion might prove valuable though painful lesson. He was sentenced to sixty days in the county jail.
 A. frtisnecker who put two shots into his business partner and subsequently, tried to put one into his own head was called up, having plead guilty to aggravated as- sault. The provocation he had received and his attempt at suicide were urged in his favor. He got 100 days in jail.
 Geo. Wood. convicted of burglary in the first degree gets three years and nine months at Yuma.
 The last act of the court was the sign ing of the death warrant of Wm. Price.
 The civil docket will be called this morning and all attorneys interested were notified to be present. The federal docket will be taken up on the day after Christmas.

 ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 20.-R. Porter Ashe who has arrived here with his stable of race horses, expresses himself as much mystified by his removal from guardianship of Mrs Sarah Althea Hill Terry of Sharon-Hill divorce fame. He says that T. H. Williams, the new guardian, and himself have been un- friendly tor years, but instead of knock ing him out of a goed thing as would naturally be supposed, MT. Williams has by his latest action, released him from most uncomfortable position, at least SO the owner of Geraldine claims. MT. Ashe says the only property Mrs. Terry has, her home at Fresno, is mort gagged so that it will not realize $200 above the debt, if sold.

Cleveland, that party will meet political death and will sink into oblivion, and if on the other hand that same element, Wall street shall be sponsor for a Repu bli- can nominee, that party too will meet the same deserving fate." G. G. Mer- rick was reelected president of the 1 league.

By the Associated Press.
 TOPEKA, Kans., Dec. 2O.-This after noon horrible murder was discovered in this city. Mrs. A. D. Matson was found dead on the floor of a room of her house at Fifteenth and Monroe streets.

She lived in a good deal of seclus1on as regards her Deighbors, who are mostly colored peo- pie, and it is not known whether there was any money in the house or not. She lay in a little back room cn her back. It appears she had been c1imi- nallylassaulted. The body was covered with clothing and rags and a couple of sacks of potatoes had been placed on her head. The entire top of her head was crushed in as though she had been struck one fearful blow.
 Mrs. Matson was for several years mem Der of the board of education. She YVES generally supposed to have considerable money and owned several houses.

ARIZONA TEACHERS.
Close of the Proceedings of
 the Institute.
The Territorial Teachers ASsoCia- ton ConVeneS-Progra
 for Today.

Today will close the most successful and important meeting of the teachers of the territory since the organization of the public school system of Arizona. Interest in the deliberations of the as- sociation, intense at the beginning, has been well maintained and the discus sions of vital features of school work have been most intelligently directed
 Only two sessions were held yea,er- day. The meeting in the morning WAS opened with prayer by Rev. J. $. Phil lips, after which there was a recitation little standby in the entertainment of the teachers during the institute. A piano solo by Flora Conn preceded the discussion of the main question of the morning, Teaching as Profession"
 The discussion was opened by Super intendent Storment of the territorial normal school, who held the modern view that the teachers aim should be single, his work untrammeled and should be begun after as special training for it as is necessary for the practice of the medical or legal profession. He opposed teaching as an occupation, a mere means of existence or stepping stone or breathing spot. Prof. J. w. Tourney of the university, read an in- teresting paper on the same iubject.
 "How to Master the Mother Tongue" was the subject of discussion intro- duced by s. $. Ray and participated in by Messrs. Grouse and Metcalf. Tbic o1ocod tbI, r of bo int and was followed by the organization of the Teachers association, which was done by continuing the committees and officers of the institute.
 Territorial Superintendent Netherton presented his annual address. It was very exhaustive, abounding in sugges- tions which have been incorporated in the recommendations of the committee on school laws. He advocated free text books, without which there could be no purely free school system. He believed that the practical value of the assocla- tion should be recognized by the legis- lature; that course of studies should be esta blished and diplomas should be issued to such teachers as became prof cient in 1t.
 A motion to publish the address of the president and that of Dr. Comstock on Tuesday night prevailed.
 At the afternoon session the report of the committee cn school laws was re- ceived and no other business was trans acted.
 A reception given at the residence of Mrs. E. M. Mills last night was attend ed by large number of the teachers. The others passed the evening at the various places of amusement open.
 The program for today is as follows: Morning Session.
 Nine o'clock.
 Prayer, Rev. w. A. Harris.

By the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.- Mgr. Sa- Satolli. the apostolic delegate, says any information concerning the recent let ter to Bishop Mcdonald affecting secret societies must come from the bishop. The delegate says his only office in the matter was to transmit the communi- cation exactly as it came from Rome and that it involved no action or ruling on his part. He was asked if the ban of the church was to be placed on other secret societies than the Knights of Pvthias, Odd Fellows and Sons of Tem- perance, but he declined to give any in- formation as to how specific secieties were affected.

 DENVER, Col, Dec. 20.-The recent great gold strikes in Leadville are caus- ing wild excitement. Railroads are taxed to their full capacity. Gold strikes have been numerous in Lead vile for the past two years, but none have attracted so much attention as the two latest in the Rex and Fri umph mines, which establish the fact that the gold belt extends at least three miles, the two discoveries being that far apart.

ROUND TRIP FIVE CENTS.
Tho Trustees Reduce n Fare or
the Brooklyn Bridge.

In accordance with the suggestion of
Mayor Schieren, of Brooklyn, the
Brooklyn Bridge Trustees have decided
to sell two bridge tickets for five cents
on and after July /. h Is at exactly
the same ratio as ten tickets for %
cents, a rate long in force.
There are many who have to cross
and recross the great structure. day
after day. who n n always raise 25
cents at a time to purchase a lot of ten
tickets. Therefore. the decision to al
low such to purchase two tickets for a
nickel. instead of buying a single ticket
for three cents, amounts to a saving of
at least one cent a day. 1t was this fact
hat Influenced Mayor Schieren to ask
the boon of the trustees.
A great many who find pennies a
scarce article nowadays will take ad-
vantage of the contemplated rule, n
ride. instead of walking the long bridge.
1t will not only prove TO be a restful
change. but will afford this class more
minutes at home with their families by
reason Of the time saved when compared
n riding.
President Howell, of the Board Of
Trustees, said this morning that on ac-
count of the stringent times the pas
senger traffic across the bridge had
greatly fallen off, and that the number
OF people who walk over the bridge is
steadily increasing. The receipts for
last month were $1,000 less than for the
corresponding period of last year.

THEY TOLD CROKER TO FLEE.
Close Friends Said to Have Ad-
vised the Ex-B Boss.
Sailed as "John Miles" After a
Night Meeting at His Home.

The belief is gaining ground that
Richard Croker, ex-boss of Tammany
Hall. had more reasons than the one Of
bad health, advanced by his friends. for
his sudden and secret departure for Eu-
rope last Saturday.
Facts are beginning to come to the
surface in substantiation of the rumor
that Mr.. Croker skipped out to escape
appearance as a witness before the
Lexow Committee.
One of the strongest of these facts Is
the necessity Mr.. Croker found for sail
ing under an assumed name. The
Cunard line officials denied with SEEM
ing good faith Saturday that Mr.. Croker
was a passenger on the Umbria, and in
sisted that no application for passage
bad been made in his name.
They have since discovered that the
description of II mysterious John
Miles" for whom and his two sens
tallies very. closely with hat of Mr..
Croker, and the presumption is that
John Miles" is the incognito assumed

vice of his closest counseliors Is not to be
doubted. 1t Is now stated that a. meet
ing. at which It was decided that safety
lay. only in flight. was held Thursday
night at the ex-chieftain's new and pala-
tial home, 8 East Seventy-fourth street.
The wise men said to have been called
to the council were Commissioner of
Public Works Mike DAILY, Wlskink!e Dan
Donegan and Larry Delmour, all of
whom are known to be blindly devoted
to the, ex-boss. The situation was can
vassed, and the ultimatum was reached
that there was nothing for Mr.. Croker, to
do but to get quietly away from the
country, unless he wanted to explain
where he got his wealth. The bad health
plea came as q happy thought, to be used
at the proper time.
OF course. 1t goes without saying, the
gentlemen mentioned are not giving any
corroboratlon to the story of the meeting,
but the fact that they were about the
only persons at tn dock to see Mr.. Gro
