sENILE MADNESS COST HIM DEAR
Sentence Passed Upon an Aged British
Mill onaiIe for Unnatural Crimes,

New York, Dec. 10.-A dispatch from
London says:
A sentence of two years. Imprisonment
with ard labor has been passed upon Rich
ard Stephens, 70-year-old millionaire Of
Winchester, and for over 80 years men,
Der of the bench Of magistrates of that
city, and who was recently convicted up
on two indictments charging offenses SIM
liar to those which resulted in Oscar
Wilde's downfall. For nearly half a cen.
fury Stephens had been prominent in re.
ligious and philanthropic work in his ma
tive city, and at the trial bank preidents,
local judges of the government courts,
canons, priests and deacons almost fell
over one another in their eagerness to
testify to his piety, good deeds, and the
salutary results of his efforts in behalf
of moral reform amongst the working
classes, and this despite the fact that
much Of the evidence against him con-
sisted in letters in his own handwriting,
addressed to his vile associates, and
which the judge characterized as AN
appalling sandwiching together Of I'M
purity, piety, gratitude to God for oppor-
tunities and earnest requests that his
associates would never omit daily pray
ers." The defense was a plea of "sen-e
Madness" which the judge characterized
as an insult to common sense.

The morning was spent In hearing
speeches in behalf Of the contending
cities, the doors being open to the vari-
Gus contesting delegations. This con-
cluded, the convention began it's after
noon session behind closed doors. An
eager crowd choked up the corridors
leading to the committee room and
awaited the announcement Of the re-
suits.
The first important question Of the at
ternoon was the fixing Of the date Of
the convention. The executive commit
tee reported resolution favoring June
16. This was amended by Committee
man Lannan Of Utah in favor Of August
18. There was sharp debate, and Mr..
DeYoung Of California finally proposed
a compromise between June and Au-
gust, viz, July. The DeYoung and Lam
nan amendments were both defeated,
and then, by practically unanimous
vote, the date was fixed at June 16.
Then came the main contest. between
the cities. There was much excitement
as the ballots proceeded, the committee
men from the interested sections hurry
ing and seeking to effect combinations.
At the outset San Francisco secured
one more than the 10 claimed from the
first. The announcement Of her lead
was greeted with enthusiasm when it
reached the outer corridors. The
strength Of st. Louis was somewhat
greater than had been expected, while
neither Pittsburg nor Chicago made the
showing anticipated. st. Louis gained
steadily on each ballot. San Francisco
sought to meet this by drawing the
votes Of Chicago, but without avail.
The first serious break occurred when
David Martin of Pennsylvania led the
forces towards st. Louis. On the fourth
and last formal ballot San Francisco
forces broke for the first time, Michi-
gan, Wyoming and Connecticut going
to ST. Louis. That settled it and gave
ST. Louis the convention. The choice
was made unanimous on motion Of Mr..
DeYoung Of San Francisco.
Chairman Carter asked the delegates
to agree to half hour limit for pre-
senting the claims Of their cities. Gen
eral Butterfield for New York, re-
sponded: "It will take but very brief
time for New York to demonstrate her
superiority" The representatives of
other cities agreed to the limit sug-
gested. Powell Clayton of Arkansas
moved that the delegations be heard in
alphabetical order by states. The mo-
ton was carried.

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 11.-Something is
wrong in the county Jail. What it is
cannot be learned, but certain it is that
Harry Hayward, the once star of the in
stitution, is in disgrace. In the aft.
ernoon workmen arrived at the Jail and
proceeded to make several alterations in
the abode Of the distinguished prisoner.
The most notable thing is to place a lin
ing of sheet iron about the cell he occu-
pies, that he may be kept in absolute Sc
clusion. Whythis change has been made
cannot be learned. The authorities
claim that there is no cause for
alarm, and that nothing has
TRANSFERRED worthy Of note. They
did give out, however, that Of late
the prisoner has been decidedly sulky,
and for some time has dropped his cheer
full demeanor. This is given as one. of
the reasons {orthe change-anindetinite
fear that something might happen un-
less great care was taken. It was limited
that he had communicated to another
prisoner that he would do something
deperate, and that it was told to the au-
thorities, but there is no certainty that
such is a fact.

RICHMOND, Mo-, Sept. 11.-Dr. G. w.
Fraker was brought before Justice Nc
Cuiston to answer to the charges Of OBJ
tanning life insurance money by false
pretense. The charge was preferred by
A. S. Van Valkenburg, representing the
Kansas Mutual Life association at To-
peka, Kan. The charge recites that OH
the 10Th Of May, 1892, and on the goth
day Of February, 1898, the defendant,
Fraker, obtained two policies Of insur-
ance for $4,000 each, and that on the
10th day Of July, 1898, he attempted to
defraud the association by pretending to
lose his life by drowning in the Mis-
souri, river. DR.. Fraker pleaded not
guilty to the charge. The state was no
ready to go into an examination, and by
consent the preliminary hearing was
fixed for Tuesday, Sept. II.

They Made Feint of Retreat and
Drew S%paniards Into an

New YORK, Sept. ia special from
Havana under date Of Aug. 30, says:
There is a report about town that a
great battle has been fought in Puerto
Principe and that the Spanish have been
defeated and the capital captured by the
insursent forces. It is said that a
strong force Of Spanish troops left the
city Of Puerto Principe to make a bold
attack upon the insurgents, who were
beseiging the town. The insurgents
fed after making a weak resistance, but
it was only to
Draw the Spanish Into an Ambuscade.
Once in the trap the Spanish We're at
tackled in the front by General Antonio
Maceo and in the real by General
Gomez. The rebel forces obtained Il
complete victory and entered the capital
triumphant, $4,000 strong.
How nea the truth this statement is
cannot be ascertained, but General
Campos' immediate departure for Neu-
vitas the very day he arrived here is
suggestive Of something serious having
happened.

Sioux CITY, Ia, Sept. 11.-Auch ex-

kidnapping and subsequent escape of
Freddie Pierce, the 11-year-old son Of
MI. and Mrs. William Pierce Of this
place. A small circus exhibited in the
city and Freddie made the acquaint-
ance Of several of it's followers, who
persuaded him to enter the a
when they left. Fairly inside
threats Of instant death were made
if he tried to escape or raise an alarm.
When the train was several miles out,
however, their vigilance was momen-
tarily relaxed and Freddie seized the
opportunity to throw himself through a
window. He marvelously escaped Sc
rious injury and managed to walk home.
The %kidnappers are supposed to have
figured on a reward for his surrender.
