Negro Asphalters In Glasgow.

"All the workmen,' says the Glasgow
(Scotland) Evening Citizen. engaged in
laying the new asphalt in Buchanan
street, have been brought over from
America, where they have been engaged
in the same sort of work for years. A
novel sight to Glasgow people is the
presence of SO many colored men, with
their wide-b rimmed hats, who are en-
ployed. The steam roller used in con-
nection with the work is somewhat of a
curiosity in Scotland, where we have
been used to the more cumbersome vari-
ETY.. Slight as it looks, however, the
from America, weighs no less than five
tons. The advantage of this sort of
roller is that the engineer has it under
perfect control, and can turn it in its own
length"

Kenosha, Wis, Oct 3O.-[Special.]-
Mrs. Pleva, who was convicted of the
murder of her husband, was sentenced
yesterday by Judge Fish to fourteen
years Imprisonment at Waupun.
1t now transpires that there was a
fatal error in the first trial of the case
which made all the parties to the prose
cution glad to get rid of it without let
ting the woman GO entirely without pun
ishment This error, it is alleged, was a
legal technicality which the defense did
not find. There are three Supreme court
decisions on this particular point and
lawyers say that had the defense dis
covered it, nothing could have prevented
the release of the defendant at once.
However, the sentence imposed by the
court meets with very general favor
An effort is to be made by District At
torney Buckmaster to secure some privi-
leges for Mrs. Pleva at Waupun, among
which he will seek to have her children
