SEES THE END OF THE ROPE
A Summary Disposition of tho
 Durrant Mater
The California Supreme Court Sends the Case Back to tho Superior Court-Ths Murderer May be Re- s0ntencoa Today.

San Francisco, Dec. Slate this af- ternoon the supreme court crushed the last hope of w. H. T. Durrant, the murderer of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams, by disposing in a summary manner of his two appeals In written opinion from the pen of Chief Justice Beatty, which is con- cured in by all but one of his col leagues, the court affirms the judg- ment of Judge Bahrs In remanding the prisoner to San Quentin until the date set for his execution, but reverses that judgment resemtencing Durrant to be hung on November Il and remands the case to the superior court with in- struct1ons to proceed according to law
 AS the remittitur was ordered is- sued forthwith and the court holds that execution can only be stayed now by the issuance of a certificate of prob able cause it only remains to re- sentence the condemned man, which will probably be done tomorrow.
 Justice Garrotte alone dissents from this opinion, maintaining that Dur rants appeals should have been dis missed as the time required by law tor their perfection had been allowed to lapse.

HEAVY LOSS AT LA CROSSE
Brick Pomeroy's Old Block and the
 McMillan Buildings Burned.

La Crosse, Wis, Dec. 8.7The worst fire that has visited this city for years occurred about midnight last night. Of the old 'Brick" Pomeroy block and the McMillan opera house this morn ing only the walls remain The lower floors of the burned buildings we e occupied by III. Hell & Sons, shoes; AL lens news depot, Langstan & Walters. musical instruments; s. Bowlby. branch of w., w. Kimball Co: the Drummond Co.,, jewellers. and Miller Bros, undertakers. The second floor was taken up with offices, while on the third floor was the old McMillan opera hall, now used as the armory for Company M of the National Guards In this place all of the stores of the company were kept and when the fire reached the powder and shells the explosion was terrific.
 The loss can hardly be estimated at this time, but will exceed $2O0, ,O0O. The. greater part of this is covered by in- surance. Six firemen were injured. three seriously. The MclMil!an opera house was owned by the McMillan es- tate and will probably be rebuilt

A STRANGE ACCIDENT.
But With Railway Luck Only Two
 Were Hurt, and Not Fatally.

Fergus Falls, Minn.. Dec. 8.-The westbound coast train on the Great Northern was wrecked two miles this side of Gainesville last night The accident was a most peculiar one.
 The switch engine at Barnesville was pushing a couple of cars of coal up the coal chute, and in some way the engine refused to stop, and the cars began to go over the end of the trestle, dropping twenty-five feet The engine was reversed, and the en- gineer and fireman jumped to avoid going over. But just as the engine reached the dropping-off place. the coupling broke and the locomotive backed down the incline to the main track. It went wild at a furious speed for two miles, when 1t struck the coast train. The engineer, Fred Griswold, and the fireman, William Carley, jumped and were badly injured. The engines came together with terrific force. demolishing both and throwing five cars of the track. With true Great Northern luck no one was hurt but the engineer and fireman

SPANKED MRS WOOD.
Why New England Deacon Was Sus-
 pended From Fellowship.

Providence, R. l., Dec. 8.-The little town of Harrington is split into angry factions, the men arrayed on ore side the women on the other, over the sen sational charges brought by Mrs. Mark H. Wood against her husband, 8 deacon of the Congregational church town clerk for twenty-four years and holder of many other offices of trust and responsibility.
 The excitement reached fever pitch at the final church hearing and con ference, at which Deacon Wood was suspended.
 The report of the committee of in- vestigation was presented by F. P. Church, its chairman He said Deacon Wood had told him personally his wife was insane and he had employed physicians to examine her. Later the deacon had told him his wife's con- duct had been such that he had to punish her by spanking her on his knee.
 These statements were corroborated in part by a MT. Staples, J. U. Stark weather of Providence, Miss Arnold. George Smith, Joshua Paine and oth- CTS.
 Several of these witnesses said Deacon Wood, shortly after his we'd ding, told them he had married an

Spain to the people of Cuba, conced- ing home government to the island, will doubtless be recognized by mem bers of congress as sufficiently liberal to merit their acquiesence; and inas- much as this excellent result has been brought about through astute diplo- macy by the administration, the in- cabinet are we'll satisfied with the lib- eral attitude now taken by the Span ish government. The plan proposed for the government of Cuba is, as a liberal than that accorded to Canada or to any of the British colonies, and it would appear, therefore, that there is no longer any justification on the hostilities. A government such as is now proposed for Cuba, in the estima tion of fair minded people, is un- doubtedly the best for them; for if an independent government were es- tablished on the island, it would not be likely to prove permanent, as 1t would lack the necessary adhesive qualities; and certainly no one having would advocate the annexation of Cuba and making the Cuban people American citizens. There has been much apprehension felt that the com ;po cacriop rf oonprocc mi o1,t ov;poo a spirit of "jingoism" similar to that of the last regular congress. This should not now be seriously contem- plated, as the release of the Ameri- can prisoners, the humane treatment on the part of General Blanco of the Cuban people, and the withdrawal of General Weyler since the last con- gress, is revolutionary change all around and one that cannot fail to be recognized as removing the sting from "jingoism."
 The people ought to be willing to leave the entire Cuban question to the have faith that the best will be done for the interests of all concerned in connection herewith. The true course, therefore, is for thle people to pay as little attention as possible to floating rumors about what both the administration and the government of Spain are going to do or not going to do in this matter. President Mo Kinley can be trusted to do the right thing at the right time, and if the situation is simply left to him and his cabinet associates all will be we'll.

angel, and they were surprised when he changed so suddenly.
 Mrs. Wood testified, and exhibited bruises she said her husband made by beating her. She spoke in a low tone and her plain recital carried con- viction with 1t.
 The pastor then asked all those who had heard Mrs. Wood talk against her husband to hold up their hands, but not and was raised. When he asked those who had heard Deacon Wood denounce his wife to ihold up their hands, nearly fifty hands went up.
 Before taking a vote on any of the charges the unmarried daughter of MT Wood said she did not care to preju- dice the divorce case, but she had seen her father with bumps on his head and scratches on his neck and face, and she knew he did not get them by accident.
 A vote was then taken on the first charge, that of beating and otherwise abusing his wife, and it was sustained 40 to 3. The charges of creating a public scandal, of the sin of fa'sifying generally, and of contempt of the church authorities were also sustained by big majorities.

The government produced the record of license that was issued to her and Thomas, and also the preacher who performed the marriage ceremony. The jury wasted no time in convicting her.
