Counsel for the defence submitted the
usual motions for new trial ana the
setting aside OF the verdict. which were
promptly cverruled. and In doing SO tne
Judge said: You" referring to the prls-
oner, have had a fair and impartial trial
and have been ably and well represented
The verdict IL one that you ought to be
perfectly satisfied with. for the crime
was ono that death might have been your
fate However. I Will stay Its execution
until tho time asked for by your counsel.
I'm order tina; every facility for your In"
rocence may be produced.
CONTINUED.
Al tho conclusion OF the sentence the
Commonwealth Attorney stated that ne
was ready for the trial Of Searcey, but on
motion OF Mr.. Chichester. VINO IL retained
AZ counsel. the case was continued.
NOTES HAVE PASSED.
Il having leaked oht here this evening
that. Notwithstanding the reports that
Morgan and Searccy had not been In
communication while In 1ail at Fredericks-
burg. notes had passed between
them. the bearer being Hunt. the alleged
murderer Of Peter SchOoleT the Dispatch
correspondent sought Mr.. white In refer
cnce TO the matter. and was Informed that
Re held in his possession four notes writ
ten by Morgan TO Searcey while In jail,
hut that he would not disclose az this
Tine their contents. for he would use
them in the other indictments.
GUARDING AGAINST RESCUE.
That there Is a plan to rescue Morgan
the Pinkert0ns have but little doubt, and
besides the usual guard. many private
citizens have been sworn In and a close
lookout II being kept.
From present appearance II Is hardly
likely that Searcey will be given n trial
for at least ninety days. II IL also the
opinion among many that Morgan,
through his counsel will be given new
trial by Judge Barton. Of the Circuit
Court In this event 1t is hardly likely
that Searcey will be tried for six months
II Is stated that up TO the argument in
the case four OF the jurymen were for
hanging. but as there was no loss Of life.
and no instance wherein man was
hanged for obbery, they would not take
the responsibility OF establishing a pre-
cedent.

THE IaoN TRADE.
DuyinG of Bcsscmcr Pig by Leading
Pittsburgcrs Continues,

CLEVELAND. O.. February 2s-Ths
Iron Trade Review says to-day; The
buying OF Bessemcr pig-iron by the lead
ing Plttsburg interests, as noted last
week. has continued ard the advance of
this metal TO Sl025. Plttshurg. is the most
significant development Of the week. II
is estimated that from 5000 to 5000 tons
Of Bessemer iron have been taken in
these purchases sufficient TO give decided
strength TO the market.
Comment on these transactions among
the interests affected runs TO their bear
ing upon the future prices Of Lage SUI
perior ores and COnnelsVle coke. They
are interpreted as "A confirmation of the
view that has been taken for some time
that coke-contracts after April LIST. and
Ore-coniracts after May lst, will be on 4
higher basis and therefore that as far
as Bessemer pig is concerned. the lowest
price has been touched. the same state
mont also applying to Bessemer-s,eel pro-
ducts generally.
The situation to-day as TO Bessemer-pig
is trmer than at any time since NOvom
her. and on small-lot transactions in the
past two days II is reported that from
TO 10 cents advance upon $l0.25, Pitts
burg, has been paid.

PARIS. February 2s.-The War Depart
ment has completed experiments with
new gun, which is guaranteed for a thou
sand rounds. After 5000 rounds had
been fired with the heaviest charges Of
smokeless powder the rifiing was found
In fair condition. The muZzle-velocity Of
the pfojecue was 5000 feet per second.
The gun is made OF hard-tempered steel.
Ii has a choke-bore of such construction
that as the projectile moves forward In
the barrel, the hands of the rifle be-
come larger and closer so that the copper
forming The driying-band Is constantly set
out. The discharge of gas between the
the consequent erosion of the gun are
thus prevented. The gun has a bore Of
about six inches and is between twenty
two and twenty-three feet long.
