TRIED IN SHORT ORDER,
Rapid Conviction of the Slayer
of Ida Gaskill at
Omaha.
Made Record for the Disposition of
a Murder Case in the State
of Nebraska.

OMAHA, NEBR., Dec. s.-The Jury in
the case of George Morgan, accused of the
murder of Ida Gaskell, girl IL years of
age, November 3, went out last night and
brought in a verdict to-day finding Nor
gan guilty and sentenced him to be
hanged.
This is one of the most radid murder
trials in this State. Only five weeks ago
to-day the body of the girl was found in a
closet in an old, deserted building, with
evidence that she had been criminally as
saulted and murdered. Suspicion was
directed to Morgan, who roomed in the
same building as the girl and her mother.
He was arrested after midnight and blood
was found on his clothing and hands.
An attempt was made to lynch him the
next night, but he was sent to the State
Prison at Lincoln and thus saved

cOKFIScA7I0K OF AN ESTATE.
Minister Baker Was Not Negligent in
Protesting Against Mcaragua's

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. S.-The al
legged confiscation of the estate of Joseph
Hissmaier by the Nicaraguan Government
because his American citizenship was not
proved and no heirs appeared, and about
which some friends in this country appear
to be indignant against Mr.. Baker, the
United States Minister to Nicaragua, at
tributing to him the loss of Hissmaiers
property, has been made matter of in
quiry at the State Department. The docu-
ment on file there does not indicate any
lack of diligence on Mr.. Bakers part, and
it is stated that it was only yesterday that
he discovered that Hissmaier was an
American citizen.
Hissmaier was murdered, and about six
months ago his alleged murderer was
lynched by persons said to have been
Americans. AT any rate, some Americans
were arrested as parties to the lynching,
but were dealt with leniently by the Mic
araguan Government. The statement that
Mr.. Baker appointed curator of HISS
maier's estate on the assumption that the
deceased was an American is true, but it
IS said at the department that proof of
Hissmaier's naturalization could not be
produced within the time provided by law
and the estate was accordingly con6scated.
This case, it is understood, has been re-
opened on representations made by rela-
tives of Hissmaier in Chicago.

swallow up the convention that its identity
and prominence would be practically de-
stroyed.
Information was received this afternoon
that the committee OF New Workers who
will visit Washington in its behalf will not
reach here until late hour tomorrow.
They will also establish headquarters at
the Arlington.
The PIttsburg committee appears to be
little late reaching the field, but word was
had tonight that two Pullman cars had
been chartered by the delegates from that
city, and that they would leave the Smoky
City tonight, arriving in Washington to-
morrow morning.
The Ohio people are scrupufously re-
framing from participating in the struggle
for choice of location, contenting them
selves with booming the candidacy of Gov
ernor Mckinley. and leaving the choice of
place to the friends of the various cities.
They express the hope, however, that the
convention may go to some central city,
and are inclined to believe that ultimately
either Chicago or st. Louis will be selected.

Generals Maceo and Gomez Much
Prefer Liberty to the Gold
of the Enemy.
SUGAR PLANTATIONS RUINED.
A Source of Revenue to the Spaniards
Cut Off, and This Will Shorten
the War.

BOSTON, MASS, Dec. S.--A dispatch to
a morning paper from Havana brings
some very interesting intelligence regard
ing the war in Cuba.
The dispatch states that the Spanish In
habitants and natives are each day grow
ing more demonstratiye, owing to the
strictness with which the military regula-
tons are being kept up. The one object
of attack is General Campos, and what
friends he had in the Colonial Govern
ment are fast falling away from his
standard and are condemning his policy
in granting leniency to the insurgents.
Even the captain-general himself, it is
claimed, has been made aware of the
fallacy of his reasoning that more success
could be gained by pursuing lenlent
policy than severe one. He has discov-
cred that this time those in the field are
fighting for nothing short of liberty, and
that brides or other methods of intimida-
ton or cajolery are not sufficient to make
traitors to the patriotic cause. tits known
for fact that since the opening of the
war General Gomez, General Maceo
and other insurgent leaders have been
offered great inducements but in every
case they have shown the whole affair in
it's true light.
The sugar-planters of the island are at
last finding out that it will be practically
impossible for them to continue the indus
try until more definite settlements are ar
rived at. The sugar plantations have SO
often been the scene of constant changing
of hands that work is absolutely sus-
pended.
This in itself is a factor that promises an
early termination of the struggle, notwith-
standing the reports to the contrary. The
income from the plantations is over $780,
100000 year. and it was on this fact that
the Spanish home Government had rested
such weight as certain source for money
to carry on the war when the royal Golfers
were empty, but by the loss of this revenue
| there can be only one result, and that is
that Spain, already bankrupt by wal
which has caused her untold loss, will
surely be obliged to give up the struggle
from lack of money.
Another dispatch from Santiago de Cuba
states that word was received in that city
on the 29th OF Novemb Der that the COM
bined insurgent army was rapidly pushing
The regulars back toward Havana, and al
though no large battle had been fought the
patriots had been successful in number
of sanguinary skirmishes.

COLORADO'S MINING BOOM
Predictions Made of Great
Returns in the Cripple

Leaving Leadville Behind the Camp
Will Soon Surpass South
Africa.

DENVER, CoLo.. Dec. Sex Governor
James B. Grant, of the Omaha and Grant
smelter, who returned from trip through
the Cripple Creek country yesterday. be-
lieves the future of that region will sur
pass even all anticlpations of those who
had great hopes for Leadville. He thinks
Cripple Creek mines will produce more
gold in the next twenty years than any
camp ever known.
when they have been mining seven
teen years at Cripple Creek" said Grant.
ait is safe to say the camp will have pro-
duced over $5OO,UOO.OOO. The production
from Leadville will also probably increase
from now on, as the craze is widespread. ("
Mr.. Grant is of the opinion that the
Cripple Creek mines will soon excel the
South Africa region, both in money value
and actual tonnage, because the ore from
the Kaffirs is low grade.
COLORADO SPRINGS, CoLo., Dec. s.
During the first week of December the
sales OF Cripple Creek mining stocks aggre-
gated II ,S52, 457 shares. For the same time
in November but 100000 shares were sold.
The sales for the present month promise
an enormous total, as the three mining
exchanges will be REINFORCED the coming
week by night exchange and al open
board. The calls are now made twice
daily, and at all hours the streets in front
OF the exchanges are almost impossible.
Mining experts see no end to the present
craze, based as it is upon Cripple Creek

frequent bonanza ores. During the week
just closed twenty-four mining companies
to operate at Cripple Creek were incor-
porated,

GRANTING MANI PARDONS.
Governor Broacn Of Kentucky Grotu
YefN Lenient.


FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 9.-Like Luke
P. Blackburn, Governor John Young
Brown IS exercising his pardoning powers
before vacating the Governors chair. It
was said last night that before the inaugu-
ration of William o. Brady, Kentuckys
Republican Governor, tomorrow, Cover
nor Brown will pardon the famous Ken
lucky forgers, Hume Clay and Frank
Scarce.
Clay forged his grandfather's name to
negotiable paper amounting to about $780,
600, while Scarce transferred to himself
property belonging to his father to the
value of 5000 He cut the property up
into town lots and manipulated mortgages,
releases anu deeds in such manner as to
put to blush the most artistic work of Jim
the Penman"
After trying to obtain his pardon in
vain for several years, Clay's wife secured
a divorce. Scearce's wife has proved
faithful, although when his forgeries were
discovered it was found that he was bask-
ing in the smiles of young widow whom
he had equipped in luxury. She is still
pleading for his pardon, and his father
has turned her out of her home.

Great damage Done ty a Fire ia Con-
aecticut.
RIDGEFIELD, Conn.,, Dec S.-A fire
which broke out at $50 tonight threatens
to destroy the entire center of the town.
The fire originated in the big wooden
block owned by G.. S. Gage, located on
Main street. Bediend &c Mead were soon
burned out. and the Western Union tele-
graph Office also ruined. By II o'clock the
flames had consumed the Gage block, and
fifteen minutes later the fire had attacked
the town hall, on the opposite side of
Bailey avenue. The Western Union tele-
graph Office was destroyed. Then came
the grocery store of Barhite & Walden and
few residences. These buildings were
burned before IL o'clock.
On Bailey avenue, to the west and rear
of the Gage block, was a plum bing-shop
and a row of wooden buildings recently
built. These were all burned. On Bailey
avenue is also located Scott's stable, big
building, and this was destroyed. On the
south side of the town hall, on Main
street, was the building occupied by the
Ridgefeld Press and residence and two
stores, one occupied by Mr.. Gilbert and
the other by Hubbard & Sherwood, fish
dealers. In Gilbert's store the central sta
ton of the Southern New England Tele-
phone Company was located.

ESCAPED FROM FLAMES,
Several Men Had to Fight for
Their Lives During a
Chicago Fire.
A Waterman Overcome by the Smoke
and With Others Was Rescued
lust in Time.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec S.-The four-story
brick building at 17S and $50 Wabash
avenue, occupied by piano, fur and shoe
firms, with its contents was almost en-
tirely Quilted by fire at IL o'clock tonight
The fire started in the boiler-room in the
basement, and soon spread to every part
of the building.
The first floor of No. 178 was occupied by
Joseph Bohman, with violins and other
musical instruments, and the remaining
floors were used by Meyer & Weber, who
are agents for the Stieff make of pianos
On the first floor of No. $50 was D. Sauer,
dealer in fine shoes, and C. Devere & Co.,
furriers, and G. Hanson Frost occupied the
floors above.
Sleeping in the store of Joseph Bohman
was Waterman who is now in the County
Hospital in very critical condition. He
was overcome by smoke.
In $50 two men were sleeping on the
top floor in the rooms of c. H. Frost.
Mike Aschbrewer, one of the men, made
his way to the second floor, but finding the
flames had cut off escape by the steps he
jumped from second-story window into
the alley, spraining his left leg, but sus-
tanning no permanent injuries. Arthur
w. Watson, the other man, was rescued
by the fremen.
Nothing in the building escaped dam
age, and the loss will be over 500, OOO
though no accurate estimate can be made
at this hour
Meyer & Weber and Joseph Bohmann
will be the greatest losers. Many of their
goods were saved from the fire, but totally
ruined by water. Sauer suffered more from
water than from fire, and Devere & Co.,
who were being sold out by an assignee,
lost MANY extensive furs
