The Jury Find Marable Guilty of Murder
In the First Degree,

The Jury Find Marable Guilty of Murder
In the First Degree.
KEYsvILLE, Va, July 13.-The iurv
In the case of Solomon Marable, after
being out but nine minutes, found him
guilty OF murder In the first degree. A
lynching bee was anticipated last night,
but she militia were too vigilant. The
jail at Lunenburg Court House, holding
the mufderers of Mrs. Pollard, WAS
closely guarded. At Q o'clock this
morning several shots were fred in the
woods near the jail by crowd that had
gathered there. The military was called
to arms and formed for action, and the
warlike demonstrations of the militia
frightened those who wanted to take
the law into their hands.
This morning Marable was taken be-
fore the grand jury in the case OF the
them in the murder. Later when the
court convened Mr.. Pollard, the hus.
band OF the murdered lady, described
certain articles of jswelry stolen from
his house at the time OF the murder.
Among them were bracelet and chain.
Judge Orgain informed Marable that he
could ask Mr.. Pollard any question. BE
replied no did not wish to ask him any,
thing.
Jennie Wootton, colored, of Chase
City, was the next witness. She stated
that Msrable came to her house the
Sunday af,er the murder and got some
thing 10 eat. She saw two twenty DOL
lar notes. The commonwealth then
rested.
The only witness M arabic offered was
his wife who testified that Rena Barnes
was mistaken about seeing the bracelet
in the bundle under her bed. Marable
himself took the stand and practically
reiterated his story OF yesterday eY-
cept that he held Mrs. Pollard's hands
upon her breast with one hand while
the other hand was on her throat. The
women were cutting her with the axe
while he held her. At the close he
pleaded for merry at the hands OF the
jury.
The Judge and commonwealth then
asked him II he had other witnesses or
II he had left anything unsaid. He re-.
piled nothing, but asked that his wife
might be brought into court. This was
WAS granted. Mr.. W. NJ. Bernard, as
sisting the commonwealth. opened with
twenty minute speech in which he
made plain and bare the evidence and
asked for verdict OF murder In the first
degree.
Mr.. Neblet made ten minutes
speech, giving Vivid picture OF the mur~
der, dwelling st len9th on the atrocity
OF the crime and fendishness required
10 plot and execute It, He closed with
a strong appeal'to the jury to protect
she State and her citizens against auch
as Mareble. The case was given TO the
jury at 3:25 p. N. and at 1874 murder in
tho first degree WAS returned. Marable
showed total indifference TO his fate
All here appreciate the quick work Of
the jury. The trial OF she women will

Desperate Fight yyith a burglar.

ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., July IA
burglar was discovered while at work
early this morning in the residence of
Isaac Davis. Miss Davis was awakened
by noise in her room and seeing the
burglar screamed. He struck her three
awful blows with an iron bar and turned
to fee from the room. AT the door he
was met by Mr.. Davis and raising his
iron bludgeon he dealt him crushing
blow. In spite of this @r. Davis grap-
pied with the murderous intruder and
after a fierce struggle succeeded in
throwing him bodily down stairs. He
was too weak to follow up his advan-
tage, however. and the burglar escaped.
The police are securing the city for
clues. Mr.. Davis will recover probably,
but the young lady will die.

The survey and appraisal OF sub
merged and other lands, which lie be-
tween the inner harbor line and the line
OF high tide, wherever omitted by local
boards, is provided for. Lands of the
second class are to be sold at 50 per acre
uniformly, unless three persons protest
by atfidavits that the value of the lands
is more; snch lands are to be surveyed
by the appsicant at his own expense.
Third-class tide lands are to be sold at

COMMENT OF ENGLISH EDITORS
What They Say of the Success of the
Loan in London.

LONDON, February 22.-The various
papers comment upon the new Ameri-
can loan as follows:
The Pail Mall Gazette-How far the
man in the street is contributing to the
success of the issue or how far this mi
tial success will be due to the power OF
"haute finance" it is impossible to say.
The former has been warned by the
more conservative of his advisors to
leave the bonds alone. He cannot have
his eyes opened too widely to the fact
that the interest of the bonds must be
paid and that the bonds themselves are
liable to be repaid thirty years hence,
not in gold, but in silver or nickel, or
other coin of the United States. No one
could blame the United States il, find
ing themselves under financial pressure,
they preferred to make the bond pay
ments in coin other than gold, privi-
lege for which they would pay dearly
and with much discomfort. This con-
sderation will always hang like a pail
over these bonds and render the inves-
tor who cannot afford the risk doubtful.
The great success of the oan, therefore,
is all the more a triumph for those man
aging it, and for the credit of the United
States.
The Daily Graphic-Before the lists
of the American loan had been open two
hours the loan was covered fifteen times
over. There is nothing surprising in
this, however, as both the securities and
interest in this investment are excep-
tlonal. Every credit is due Mr.. Ceve-
land for the tenacity and resource with
which he has STAYED off what might
have been serious disaster.
The Daily News-There is reason to
believe that the part of the American
loan offered here was covered nearly
fifteen times, irrespective of any appi-
cations that may arrive from the coun-
try. The allotment letters will probably
be issued early next week.
The Observation-Disclosures vary as to
the number OF times the loan was COW
cred, the highest being thirty and the
lowest five. According to the general
opinion it is believed ten and twenty.
The dealings were just as active as the
applications.
The Financial News will say that the
lesson ought not to be thrown away on
congress that loss of $500, OC0 annually
will be caused the treasury by the OBJ
stinacy of the members in not authoriz-
ing gold loan.

The Armenian Inquiry,

CoNsTANTINoPLE, February 22.-The
latest intelligence from Moosh of the
proceeding of the commission inquiring
into the outrages in Armenia has made
a deep impression upon Turkish officials
here. Witnesses recently examined gave
evidence generally rejecting upon OF
ticials in Armenia. Five witnesses testl-
fed they saw the massacre OF children.
In Difference to protests from Sir Philip
Currie. British am bassador, the porte
has commanded the governor OF Bey-
routh to revoke his orders forbldding
tourists to visit the interior.

SITUATION VERY BAD.
Trouble is Expected over the Railroad
Emigrant Business.

CHICAGO, February 22.-The meeting
of the emigrant clearinghouse, which
was to have been held to-day to consider
the attitude of the Grand Trunk in pay
ing excessive commissions, was post
poned until tomorrow on account OF the
absence of Chairman Caldwell. Inquiry
among the roads interested show the
situation TO be very bad. The 500 line
claims that the situation is even worse
on East bound business than IN the
West. 1t asserts that the roads running
east from Chicago are paying commits
slons of 1925 on tickets to New York
contrary 10 their agreement OF January
| last, and to meet this the 500 line has
been paying commission OF 10 on emf
grant tickets from ST. Paul to New York,
The agreed commission of the lines be-
tween st. Paul and Chicago on New
York emigrant business is 70 cents q
ticket. The 500 line is adding this 7E
cents to the alleged $4.25 commission
made by roads out of Chicago.
1t is thought that the Eastern lines
cannot much longer keep from making
reduced coal rates to meet those from
the South. There is a meeting of coal
lines in Pittsburg this week, and 1t is be-
lieved some action will be taken, other
wise the Southern rate war may be ex-
pected to soon extend to the East.
Rate clerks will tomorrow begin get
ting out the sheets showing the tariffs
from st. Paul to Pacific Coast points.
The Omaha road has given notice that
it will put in first class limited rate OF
$50 and second class limited rate oil
$40 from st. Paul to California points
via Sioux City. These rates are made
by addition OF arbitraries on short-lne
rates from St. Paul to Spokane. They
will Of course be applicable to Omaha,
and there is certain to be protest from
several members of the Western Trunk
Lines committee. The question OF
whether they can be made applicable
through all Missouri gateways will also
arise and have to be settled by Chair
man Caldwell.

FURTHER STIR IN EGYPT,
The Khedive stu Anxious I" "re"k
Prom the English.

From the Eukhs'
LONDON, February 22-Ihere Is a lnr-
Their stir in Egypt affecting the position
of the ministry. The khedlve, 1t APP
pears. wants to GUST Nubar Pasha, pres
ident of the ministerial council, whom
the English support.
In an article in FL Ahram, which, ac-
cording to the Times correspondent at
Cairo, must be directly INSPIRED, the
khedive virtually charges Baron Cromer,
British agent and consul-generai In
Egypt. with dlstorting what passed be-
tween the khedive and the baron at
their last audience. The editor OF I'll
Ahram is a Syrian, who is under French
protection and who is known to he the
khedive's chief adviser. The Times cor
respondent imputes the talsehood mem
toned to the khedive, and declares that
the ministry are entitled TO British sup
port. and that if it is withdrawn there
will be a reaction from the triumph OF
the khedive that will imperll the prog
ress made under British control.
The menacng aspect of affairs IN AL
exandria continues to occ lpy puollc at
tention. Threats of vengeance are freely
uttered. A change of the garrison has
Just occurred and is considered to favor
the chances of public disturbance, while
the large influx OF Bedouins in the out
skirts of the city during the last few
weeks is regarded as a disquieting fea-
ture. All of these symptoms wildly re-
call those that heraIded the massacres
in 1882. For some time past one OF the
khadive's Drotepes whose patriotism
has been stimulated by dismissal from
government service, has been busy
among the Bedouins distributing khe-
dival largesse and recruiting body
guard Tor the khedive's person. That
the dangerous agitation has been art
fully provoked is evident from the con-
traet Alexandria presents to the COM
plete tranquility prevailing throughout
the rest of Egypt since the formation OF
the ministry OF Nubar Pasha.

A deal has been consummated under
which j. f. Jennings, of Salt Lake, and
associates will purchase the Ridenbaugh
canal near Boise and some 5000 acres OF
land belonging to the company. The
price paid is in the neighborhood of
$3.50, 900. The canal irrigates a large
section of country below Boise, includ-
ing lands in the vicinity of Nampa. 1t
is understood that an extensive coloni-
zation project is part of the new own
ers' scheme to be followed by the cree
ton OF extensive beet-sugar works; Mr..
Jennings is prominently identified with
the Utah Sugar Company. He has been
investigating the Boise section for two
years, and has said the soil and climate
are peculiarly adapted to sugar beet cul-
ture.
