adopt convict labor in preparing road

WASHINGTON, March 4.-For the last

WILL NOT HANG.
Ex- Queen Lii Gets Five Years and
Five Thousand Dollars Fine.
The Wife Of President Dole Intercedes
Strongly for Her and She May Receive
4 Full Pardon-The Others Go to
Prison Instead of Death.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 4.-The steam
or Australia, which arrived Saturday
morning, brings the intelligence that
a number of sentences were announced
February 23.
Among them were those of Robert
Wilcox, w. T. Seward, w. II. Richard
and Charles T. Gulick. They were the
four leading plotters. Each man is
sentenced to serve thirty-fve years
and to pay fine of 5000 These four
men were originally sentenced to die,
but the verdict of the court was
changed to imprisonment by Dole.
This means no capital punishment will
be inflicted on the leaders of the re-
bellion. 1t appears that the president
has been opposed to executions. and
that his feelings were shared by mem
bers of the cabinet. The other sem
tences are: Thomas Walker, 30 years
and a fine of IS, 1000; Carl Widemann, 30
years; VIM. Greig, 20 years; Louis Mar
shall, 20 years. The last two were fined
$4,000 each. James G. Lane was given
years and a fine of $1,000.
Samuel Nowlein and Henry Bertle-
man, two of the prominent leaders,
have been allowed their liberty. They
gave valuable evidence for the govern
ment, without which convictions in
many cases could not have been Sc
cured. Capt. Davies has been SEN
fenced to 10 years and ordered to pay
a fine of $4,000. He landed the arms
for the rebels.
Although the ex-queen's sentence
has not been made public, correspon-
dent was informed Sunday morning
by cabinet officer that she has been
sentenced to serve five years in prison
and to pay fine of $1,000. 1t is under
stood that the sentence will not be
changed by the president
Within the last few days a number
of prisoners have been released from
custody. Among the number is Chas.
Clark, who gave the information that
afterward resulted in the discovery of
the arms and ammunition at the
queens residence.
Correspondence from Honolulu states
that Mrs. Dole is interceding strongly
for the ex-queen, and that President
Dole is reported to be wavering be.
tween granting her full pardon or
letting the sentence stand.

Singular Cause of Death.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4. = Miss
Grace Benjamin, "a beautiful young lady
of about twenty years, died from be-
ing suffocated in bath room. The
bath room is small and hot water is
obtained by means of a gas burner un-
der brass boiler in the center of the
room. The attending physicians ex-
planned to the coroner's deputy that
the bath room was SO small, and the
power of the burner so great, that the
oxygen in the air was quickly burned
out and Miss Benjamin tainted.

New York, March 2. The wall of
an old six-story building at Forty.
hird street and Tenth avenue fell FRI
day morning, killing and injuring
many men who were engaged in tear
ing 1t down. So far three dead bodies
have been taken out of the ruins and
several injured have been extricated.
There are probably score of men still
in the ruins, many of them believed to
be dead. The building which was be-
ing demolished is the old malt house
of A. E. g. e. Schuyler, brewers. For
The portion of the building that fell is
the old kiln house, and is six stories
high.
For three weeks gang of men, un.
der Contractor George O'Keefe, has
been tearing down the building. This
morning most of the gang were at
work on the old kiln-house on the
Forty-third street side. During the
first part of the morning por-
tion of the roof had been taken
off and the naked wall in the
west Forty-third street side was
left standing. Suddenly there was a
terrific crash. There was roar of
falling brick and timber that was
heard blocks away, and great cloud
of dust went up. In the midst of the
roar were heard the cries of the men,
many of whom had fallen to death.
The three upper stories on the Forty
third street side had toppled into the
interior of the building. Tons of brick
and mortar had fallen on the work.
men.
In short time ten were taken out.
OF these two were already dead. An
other, a man of 90 years, who was later
identified as Hugh Cullen, was uncon-
scious and breathing feebly. He was
hurried into an ambulance, but died on
the way to the hospital.
1t was absolutely impossible at the
start to get any description of the
wounds of the injured. Some had
broken limbs, others great jagged cuts
in the head and face. All were covered
thickly with dust.
The building as it stands shows on
the Forty-third street side wall bro-
ken off at the third story. The walls
just opposite are broken off at about
the same point The walls on the 9TH
er sides are still standing, five stories
high. and here les the greatest danger
for the firemen and the rescuers.
Contractor OKeefe and his partner,
Patrick Keegan, were arrested and
locked up in the West Forty-seventh
Street station. No bail would be taken
when the owner of the fallen building,
James McKelvey, called to offer Sc
curity.
Chief Cicquel said at noon that he
thought there were three more bodies
in the building. This would swell the
list of dead to six. The body of the
unknown Italian was identified as that
of Angelo Ticcor. Contractor O'Keefe
denied the statement that lot of ma.
terial had been left on the floors of the
building. of the injured men, Malloy
and Bobson will die.

Five Known to BE Dead.

New YORK, March 4.-The fall of the
building in course of construction in
Orchard street Friday is found to have
been more destructive of life than was
supposed. Saturday three corpses
were removed from the ruins, making
the casualties five killed and eight
seriously injured. The bodies recov-
cred Saturday are those of John Marie,
James Ross and Joseph Marr, all of
whom were employed in the building.
1t is possible that as the work of clear
ing away the debris progresses other
bodies may be found, as there are still
several men who were at work upon
the building not accounted for.
