It Took the Lawyers Seven Hours to Sum Up
 Both Sides of the Case In the Princeton
 Tragedy-Judge Gummere Made an Im-
 partial Charge to the Jury.
 TRENTON, July 19-The trial of John Collins, the negro, for the murder of Princeton Student Fred P. Ohl, ended in a verdict of murder in the second degree. The jury was locked up, after listening to the summing up of counsel, for seven hours. The verdict was reached late last night.
 The last day of the trial was taken up by arguments. Senator Daily and Judge Beasley addressed the jury in behalf of the defendant. Counsel claimed that the evil dence had proved that Collins used his pistol in self defense, and that the strong point in favor of the prisoner was the fact that the shooting would not have occurred had not Ohl and Cochran armed them selves with fence pickets and followed Collins for the purpose of picking quarrel with him.
 Assistant Prosecutor Apgar, speaking for the state, said the jury should elimi- nate all considerations of sympathy for Collins because the students did not go home after the first quarrel. Was not more sympathy to be felt over the death of Ohl, who lost his life through Collins invitation to ''come in here, you white -" A man is guilty of murder in the first degree, even if the man killed pro- vokes the assault As to why the stu dents did not go home it might be asked as well, "Why didn't Collins go home?''
 Judge Beasley, for the defense, referred to the students as having only contempt for negroes, and he characterized foot. ball player as a cross between a prize fighter and a wrestler. He said the stu dents were the aggressors, and he held as evidence of this their getting the palings and not going home after the first quarrel. Justice Gummere's Charge. During Judge Beasley's talk Juror Ter hume was taken i'll with the heat. He was carried from the courtroom and attended by physician.
 He returned to the jury box in 15 min, | utes.
 Judge Beasley continued his argument for the prisoner and was followed by Sen l ator Daly, who talked for an hour. Prose | cutor Stockton then summed up for the | state.
 The case was given to the jury after 1 Justice Gummere, in brief charge, had defined the law as to the different degrees | of murder He added that if the jury be lieved the testimony of Collins they should | acquit him. The testimony of a defendant | in homicide case, however, should bt | taken with a great deal of caution, saiG the court. Collins was contradicted very materially, in the opinion of the justice and if the jury believed this contradictory
 testimony, or if they thought that whe1 i Collins invited the students into the hall
 way he did so with the hope or expecta
 tion that they would attack him and witt
 the intention of shooting them if they dit
 attack him, then it was the duty of thu l jury to convict him of murder in the frs | degree

HER DEATH WATCH SET.
Maria BarberI, the Condemned Murderess
 In Sing Sing.


 SING SING, July 19.-Maria Barberi, in charge of deputy sheriff and accompa- nied by Mrs. Foster, the Tombs Angel, arrived here. The party was met ut the depot by Keeper McNeal. There was no crowd, as the coming of tho girl had been kept secret. At the prison the usual rou- tine was gone through. The condemned girl was then escorted to a room on the top floor of the hospital building which had been prepared for her reception in- stead of a cell in the death house.
 The death house has room for but two more prisoners and all of those there now are men, so it was thought best to give the girl a separate room. Mrs. Foster re- mained with the girl all night, but this morning the solitary confinement began. After this the girl will see only those all lowed by the law-the prison physician and the warden. The death watch consists of Keepers Cochran and Talcott.

 There was Hull at night in the election returns, as most of the polls in the coun= ties will not be announced until later. The Conservatives, with Il seats won, have now secured a net gain of 55 seats, giving a majority of S2 in the new house of commons.
 What returns have been received from the counties indicate that they are follow ing the lead of the boroughs, and there is every prospect that the government will have majority of at least 100. The Union ists have gained three seats in Wales.
 There was a rumor current that there had been a recount in West Leeds, giving Colonel North a majority over Right Hon. Herbert Gladstone. The rumor was, how ever, unconf1rmed.
 Among those reelected were Sir H. Campbell Zimmerman, secretary of state for war in Lord Rosebery's cabinet. the resolution to reduce whose salary precipi- tated the downfall of the government; T. P. O'Connor, Baron H. de Wurms and W. H. Long.
 There was q riotous scene in Newcastle last night. Crowds disappointed at the rejection of tho Right Hon. John Morley paraded the streets and stoned the win dows of the houses of prominent Union ists and Conservative newspapers. The mob also attacked persons wearing Union ist favors. The police were obliged to | charge repeatedly and to use their clubs. The mounted police are now patrolling the main streets.
 The Chronicle HiberaD declares that Mir. Morley was defeated owing to the treachery of the Parnellites, who support ed his opponent MT. Crudas. tTo de- scribe such conduct as base ingratitude, |" The Chronicle adds, F'would be a mere commonplace. What is far worse is that it denotes an incapaoity for political action which, If we believed to be universal Ii Ireland, would lead Ils to despair of any , genuine political impsovement thsxe,''

Considerable difference OF opinion

Inmates run all the way from three to
twelve pounds. The amount depends

respect, some showing somewhat
greater gains than others, but all tho
improved varieties respond more read.

therefore, TO lay down any regular
rule by which to find the pork equiva-

able only to determine the approx

In some experiments recently made
in this direction it was found that
thoroughbred pigs required nearly
one thousand pounds of meal to carry
them from 100 pounds to 800 pounds

making them TOO fat. Greater gains
can be made, however, with pigs un-

GRADING ABOUT BUILDINGS.

There is no better time to do this
work than in the fall, and there are
few buildings that would not be the
better for more or less work of this
kind. At some points, perhaps only
o wheelbarrow load or two may be
needed, while at others several wagon
loads may be required. For the ben
eft of the foundation walls, the grade
should be at least three inches to the
foot for at least five or six feet, espe-
cially if there is a cellar located under
the structure. 1t not only looks bet
ter, but makes the cellar walls firmer,
prevents water from soaking into the
cellar, and renders it warmer in win.

used for the surface of the grade should
be we'll enriched, and either sodded
over now or grass seed sown and we'll
raked in. About the doors of the barn
buildings use stiff clay or gravel, and
stones two or three inches in diameter
should be placed on the surface and
driven into the soil with sledge and
covered with two inches of soil. Every
year again cover the stones that be.

Family Likeuesses.

Some curious investigations have re-
Gently been undertaken by photo
graphic society inGeneva. The purpose
was to show that the longer married
couple lived together-we apprehend
harmoniously-tho more and moro
marked became the resemblance
which the two persons bore to each
other. Photographs of seventy eight
couples we're taken, as well as an equal
number of adult brothers and sisters.
On careful inspection it was found
that the married couples were more
like each other than the brothers and
sisters of the same blood. Apparently,
therefore, there seems to be stronger
force available for the production of
"family likenesses" even than that of
hereditary Transmission. In accept.
ing the statement of the society in
question as true as to fact, 1t is not
difficult, in certain measure, to
account for the phenomenon referred
to. Human beings, for example, have
quite faculty for copying each other
in their ways, movements and tempera-
ments. Photographic Times.
