William ~ was dead, The arch

Princess Victoria Of the fact. II was a
warm night in June, The princess was
sleeping in her mothers room, her GUS
tom from childhood, and had to be sum
moned out Of her sleep. The messen-
gers awaited her in the long, unlofty
room, separated only by folding doors
from that which was inhabited by the
Duchess Of Kent and her daughter. The
young girl entered alone, in her night
dress, with some loose wrap thrown
hastily about her. The moment she was
addressed as Your majesty" she put
out her hand, intimating that the lords
who addressed her were to kiss 1t and
thereby do homage Her schooling and
her instincts were admirable from the

Minnesota Town Elections.

St. Paul, Mimi, March 10.-Fifty Min
nesota towns and villages held cleo
tons Tuesday. At North ST. Paul John
Owens (dem.) was elected mayor by a
majority of two votes. Elsewhere the
democrats carried rather larger num-
Der of towns than usual. The fight on
the license question was uppermost.
The pro-liquor men carried 35 towns,
five more than at the last election. The
vote was the smallest in many years,
owing to the new constitutional amend
ment, which requires that every voter
must be full citizen. Hitherto it has
been the practice to take out first
papers and perhaps never take out the
others. In many cases this year promi-
nent citizens were neither able to run
for Office nor vote.

bill offered makes it a misdemeanor to
engage in the business of buying tax
titles.
The leading event in the house was
a technical squabble over the distance
freight rate bill. This was the bill
which was originally sent to the grain
and warehouse committee, and after it
was reported back by them big con-
test ensued and it went to the railroad
committee. A majority and minority
report was made by the railroad COM
mittee yesterday and the controversy
was relative to adopting one of those
reports, or sending the whole matter
to the committee of the whole, to be
there fought out. After waste of
time on this bubble, both reports went
to the committee of the whole, and the
house was just where it started.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS.
An Important Decision.

Judge Moer decided an important
test case at Duluth, in which is in
volved the question whether state min
eral leases include timber rights on
land, outside of what timber is neces-
sary for mining. The Republic Iron
company, owner of the state mineral
lease of the school lands in 6S-1s, sued
the Moore & Kerr Lumber company,
which purchased the timber on the
same lands from the state, to recover
for timbe already cut and to enjoin
the lumber company from cutting any
more. The state interviewed to protect
it's right to sell timber on leased lands.
and considerable interest was taken in
the contest as it involves vast amount
of holdings in the county. Judge Moer
upheld the states claims and decided
that the state mineral leases do not
include timber,

merchants to the custom house in this
city to withdraw goods in bond because
of the expected increase Of duties under

time after its passage. The total

MORGAN SENTENCED

Pcople-senAationaI Scenes in Court,
RIPLEY, W. Va, Nov, 7.--When
Judge Blizzard made his now famous
nppeai to the mob for the life OF John
y Morgan, the triple murderer, from
the court house steps on last Wednes-
dag night, he pledged his word that II
the prisoners life was spared no law
DELAYS" would interfere with speedy
Justice. How well he kept his promise
was proven when at o'clock yesterday
morning, in the presence of an eager
tbrong. who since Wednesday, have
carefully watched his every movement,
he sentenced the murderer to be hang
cd Friday, December II,
II was just seventy-slS hours from
tha time Alice Pfost appeared at the
home of John Chancey, with blood
cushing from gaping wounds in her
skull, and, after telling OF the fearful
tragedy, fell faintins in the doorway
when the sentence was being pro-
nounced, and as the date was fixed a
sigh of relief passed over the court
room.
The prisoner maintains the same
stolld Indifference as shown since the
day OF his arrest, staring into vacancy
with an almost idlotic expression. to-
tally foreign to his appearance pre-
VIous TO the crime. His little wife, haa-
gard and wan, who yesterday pleaded
Tor her husbands life, testifying that
enc believed him to be insane. because
ne struck her with n gun and tore
down fences u few hours before he
committed the murders, sat in the
rear OF the court room, In company
with her brother, Enoch Castro, and
as the doom of her husband was pro-
pounced, she clDtcbed her eighteen
months-old babe close to her breast and
slowly dropped falnting to the floor.
Even this had no effect on the prisoner,
who, as he was led back to Jail, appear
ed TO notice nothing.
There was no attempt at demon
stration when sentence was pronounced,
sympathy with the little wife causing a
hush Of almost terror TO fall upon the
assemblage. Although the jail here is n
mere rattle-trap, and easy to escape
from, there is little danger of Morgan
attempting to take advantage OF Its
weakness. Precautions against such an
event. however, wifi be taken, volunteer
guards patrollng the locality day and
nlght until the morning OF the execu-
ton, not to prevent mob violence, which
is o thing of the past, but to see that
the prisoner does not get away.
Judge Blizzard has greatly endeared
himself TO the people by his faithful
and energetic performance of duty, and
as he passed through the crowd to-day
he was several times hailed as "our
next governor"

years, who shot Floyd Norris near here
