SAX FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-Theodoro
Darrant, assistant superintendent Of
Emanuel Baptist church Sunday school,
was on Friday convicted Of the murder
Of Blanche Lamont, fer which he has
been on trial since JU:y % last. 1t was
exactly 81 minutes ron the time the
jug left the courtroom o. the time the
ve3hct was anncUlce,, but that time
was not all taken up il de.i6eration. In
fact there vas no deliberation at all.
The jury had evidently decided upon a
verdict before they lett the box. 1t was
3:S8 when they fled out of the court
into the grand jury room, which had
beep placed at their disposal. 1t took
th5 ~ men until $3.50 o'clock before they
settled themselves comfortably and at
3:56 q knock on the door announced to
anxious walters that verdict had
been found. 1t took just five minutes
Of actual time to elect a fOrman and
take the one ballot necessary. AS there
was no recommendation of mercy, the
punishment was fixed at death.
During the tumult that followed the
announcement Of the verdict, Durrant
and his mother were lest sight of except
by the few who sat nearest to them. AS
the last words Of the verdict were ut
tered, DuIrant made a spasmodic effort
to rise to his feet, bat before he could
do So, his mother, with half sigh, half
moan, threw her arms around his neck
and sunk back into her chair. His
mothers grief seemed to make Durrant
forget his own position, and for the
next few minutes he sat with his arms
around her neck, trying to sOothe her.
Durrant recovered his old time COM
posure as soon as he left his mother and
prepared to return to the county Jail.
With his overcoat swung carelessly
over his arm, he walked leisurely out Of
the room, twirling his slight mustache
with apparently as little concern as if
he were merely a spectator of, instead
Of the principal figure in the exciting
scene.

HAVANA, Nov. "Details have been

the release Of the 16 Spanish soldiers

greet the Spanish officers, and embrac-
ing Colonel Vale he said: Return to
your comrades, heroes. You are an
honor to the Spanish nation, and am
proud to be able to boast of descending
from such a people, "
Then followed a touching moment,
during which the Spaniards and Cubans
embraced each other and bid each other
farewell, the Cubans shouting as the
Spaniards went away; "Adios, valien-

FIRST WHALER TO REACH PORT.
Report lee i'orm ne and the Balance Of
the Fleet Aay BE Caught.


SAN FRANCISCO Nov. 4-The schooner
Rosario has arrived from the Arctic
ocean, bringing 3, Compounds Of bone, the
residue Of a catch of five whales. She
is the first Of the whaling feet TO reach
port from the north and it is within the
limits Of possibility that she may lie the
last. When she left the ocean the ice
was forming very fast and it was
heavier than it has been for many years.
The Rosario brings confirmation of the
news Of a very poor catch in the Arctic.
From the report Of the Rosario, it looks
as if the entire feet would be caught III
the ice. This IS considered by the
whaling men to be a very serious state
Of affairs. The steam whalers arc
amply provided with stores with which
to spend another winter in the ice, but
the sailing vessels are mp in the Arctic
region aud under much less favorable
conditions. The majority of the banks
are provisioned with only enough stores
to last them through the summer, and
if they are compelled to spend the
winter III the north. starvation stares
the WhaleIs in the face.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Nov. 2.-PrOfessor
L. 1. Blake Of the Kansas university has
discovered a remedy and preventative
Of diphtheria, if the results of expert
ments already tried are to be relied on.
1t is a mixture of salt and water, about
two-thirds Of the weight Of the mixture
being salt through which an electric
current has been passed. The current
produces chloride of oxygen and ozone
in an active state. The mixture is used
as a gargle. The treatment has been
tried in number Of ways and has been
found to instantly and completely Kill
microbes wherever found. Local physi-
clans believe that the discovery is a val
liable one.

April, 1894, resulted in an agreement
between the company and the union,
which was effected May l under the
auspices Of a board Of arbitration, com.
posed wholly Of merchants aud manu-.

PillsbGry was chairman.
Tremendous reductions ranging from
10 to 90 per cent had been made By the
company and these We're restored by the
board. From that day to this the CONE
psny has not held to its agreement.
Competent and Trustworthy men have
been discharged again and again for no
other reason than that they belonged to
the union. Whether the employees
strike or not win be determined BY
themselves. am unable to fOretell
their decision. Directors Keliher and
Goodwin, in conjunction with the
