When the Wedding Occurs.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 27.-At 100 p.

nounced that Car Nicholas III. was
Darmstadt. Before z o'clock In the
morning large crowds of people were
assembled on the Neysky Prospect In
order to secure places along the route
Of the royal wedding procession.
From the Anitchkoff palace to the
winter palace the whole avenue was
lined with troops. At 11:15 in the
distance was heard the grand swell
ing strains of the national anthem,
and all along the route the multi
tudes uncovered their heads in antici-
patton of the approach of the bridal
party. Soon after there appeared an
open state carriage drawn by four
white horses. In this vehicle were
the czar and his brother, Grand Duke
Michael They both wore the uniform
OF hussars of the guard and were
greeted with a yociferous burst of
cheering, which was renewed again
and again. The czars equipage was
preceded and also followed by q de-
tachment of chevaliers des guardes
and hussars and lancers of the guard,
all in brilliant uniform. Then came
a superb landau, also drawn by four
white horses, In which were Princess
Alix and the czarina. They received,
If possible, even more hearty popu-
lar greeting than the cZar himself.
handkerchiefs and hats were waved
in the air and the most intense en-
thusiasm prevailed.
The oocf11.ooc In nh Traro
dazzling. Most of the ladies wore the
Russian costume, very low before and
behind, and with arms bare almost
to the shoulders. The brides dress
was white, richly embroidered with
gold and on her head was the usual
kokoshnik, belonging to the costume,
ornamented with diamonds. At the
top of the kokoshnik was q small
crown of diamonds. The brides
mantle was of purple velvet, lined
with ermine. The head dresses of the
other court ladies were of ancient
gold brocade, adorned with sapphires,
emeralds and rubies. When all the
wedding guests were assembled, the
marriage ceremony was carried out
according to the rites of the Greek
church.
The wedding procession then re-
formed and the guests re-entered
their carriages. The dowager czarina
was the first to drive back to the pal
ace.
The car and czarina returned to
the Anitchkoff palace in the same
landau amid the unbounded enthusi-
asm of the immense crowds of peo-
pie gathered to greet them. The
car graciously saluted the crowds
on either side Of the route, and the
czarina bowed repeatedly in answer
to the cheering of the people, and
eYinced considerable emotion.

State Gresham, in behalf of the
United States. and Minister Kurino of
Japan, in behalf of his country. have
affixed their signatures to a new
treaty of amity and commerce be.
tween this country and Japan. The
final formallties In the execution Of
the instrument occurred at the state
department late yesterday afternoon
after the close OF Office hours. and the
fact that 1t now awaited only the rati-
iication of the two governments was
exclusively announced by the Associ-
ated Press yesterday. When the last
formalities were closed yesterday, the
state department buildings were de-
serted, except the private Office of the
secretary of state. where the Interest
Ing ceremony was to be concluded.
Secretary Gresham will now transmit
the new treaty to the United States
senate when 1t convenes, and Minister
Kurfno will forward It to the Japan
ese foreign office TO be approved by
the emperor OF japan and the prfyy
council Coming at the present time.
the signing OF the treaty is consid-
cred of much significance beyond its
actual terms. as 1t establishes the
cordiality between the countries at a
time when the foreign powers are en-
dcavorlng to show that Janan's ref -.
ton of the peace mediation was q
"snub" to the United States. To
Japan the signatures are Of supreme

KNIT TO BE HANGED.
THE JURY m THE MURDER CASE
RETURNS A VERDICT OF GUILTY.
with the Recommendation That
Kent BE Hnngcd-I1ent's Crime
Was Employing His Hird Man TO
Murder Mrs. Kent.


Mandan, N. D., Nov. 25.-The jury
In the Kent murder case came into
court with verdict of guilty, and
they decided that the defendant
should be punIshed by deatll. II this
state the jury fixes the punishment In
capital cases when they find verdict
OF guilty. The defendant listened to
the verdict apparently unmoyed.
Myron II. Kent was born in Bur-
bank, Ohio, In 164S, and spent his
boyhood In that place. He studied
law In the Office of III. G.. Blake at
Madina, Ohio, and was admitted TO
the bar. In 1871 he was elected pros
ecuting attorney for that county and
served one year. He engaged in the
banking business, and In 1877 was
made bookkeeper of the First Ma
tional Bank of Medina. He married
the beautiful daughter Of w. L. Ter
rill, prominent citizen of that place,
but the young wife died inside of
two years. The, bank closed its doors
May 2, 1874, and an examination
showed that its capital had been i'm
paired so per cent by Pancoast's
(Kent dishonesty. In the meantime
he had made his escape and was nev-
cr punished for his peculations, which
are supposed to have aggregated
$4,000, consumed in high living.
When Pancoast came to Minneapolis
he called himeslf nj. r. Kent and rep
resented himself as an Englishman.
and had succeeded in covering up all
traces of the past He managed to
ingratiate himself irto good society
In the Mill City, and, among others,
became acquainted with the Lairds.
Shortly after he married Miss Julia
Laird, for whose death he will pay
the penalty upon the scaffold. The
parents Of the lady were not pleased
wi-!i tho match, b concluie! to
make the best of bad bargain, and
Kent was given employment In the
lumber business of his father-in-law.
It is said he embezzled $4,000 of the
firms money. When discovered he
was given $1,000 and told to shift for
himself. He and his new wife then
separated, Kent going to Chicago and
afterward to Mandan. Meantime he
corresponded with his wife, and a
reconciliation was effected.
On the night of March II, 1894,
Kent went across the river to Bis
marck, telling his wife he would re-
turn the next day. On this night his
wife was shot and killed under what
seemed to be excusable circumstances.
However, there was q risk on her
life for $4,000, and Kent failed to
return. The true story of her death
is as follows: On TINT night Tom
SwidensN, the hired man. lwOi:e Mrs.
Kent on the preteyt that somc oJe

j. L. III. Pierce still has an interest
1t is now estimated that the loss to
his English dupes VIII exceed 81, ,0O0,-

friends pretend to account for alleged
heavy losses In Mexican silver mines,
but the belief IL strong that he has
cleared up at least $500, 900, and that
he has this amount out of sight. It
was stated today by Pierce's brother
ln-law that Pferce's wife and child
sailed from London on Oct s, ostensf~
bly, for Mexico.
To-day forged bonds purporting TO

that no one but Pierce could have ac-
complished such wholesale robbery as
was perpetrated upon them, and that
1t was the prompt payment of large
interests which made 1t easy for him
to dispose of his paper. It Is now
learned that this interest was paid out
