When the Jury Brought Verdict OF
Murder in the First Degree'--The
Fate of Herman Paul Schulz De-
cided.

Milford. Pa. June 13.-Herman Paul
Schulz. of New York, who has been on
trial since last Tuesday for the murder
of his wife. was found guilty of murder
in the first degree to-day. The jury
went out at 6 o'clock last night and
deliberated until o'clock this morning
before arriving at verdict. The jur-
ors remained in the court house all
night. and at half-past nine o'clock this
morning filed into the court room. The
nrisoner was brought in, and as he
gazed at the jury lost composure for
moment when he recovered himself,
and his face took on a sneering smile
After the jury's verdict had been an
nounced by its foreman, Mr.. Vanettan
asked for their individual poll. This
formality being gone through with
Schulz was led back to his cell, and
as he was passing the jury he laughed
and said: Il thank you, gentlemen,
for your verdict.
When he had been placed in his cell
at the Jail. Schulz was searched by the
sheriff and two constables. 1hey
found concealed within the lining OF
his trousers and coat small saw,
file and pen-knife. The prisoner had
previously said he meant to cheat the
gallows. should he be convicted. When
the articles were discovered, he first
became furious, then respondent, and
finally refused to eat. All efforts to
persuade him to eat since have failed.
He was given new clothing and put in
another cell.
His counsel have made the usual
application for new trial, and June
2Sth has been fixed as the date to hear
arguments. A special term of court
will be held for this purpose.

SUSPICIOUS
Wound Upon the Head of a Floater
Found in the River About Mile
Above Sistersville-.T Remains
Not Identified.

Special to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, June l3.-Las'
evening the body of floater was picked
I'D at a point mile above the city.
The body was that Of a man, Of about
tbirtv-Rve years Of age, and had been
in the water so long that it was al
most impossible to handle it. During
the night the body was anchored and
a partv left to watch it, and this morn
ing il was brought to this city. The
coroner viewed the remains, but they
were in such a bad condition that 1t
was almost impossible to give a de-
scrintion. He was a man Of about five
feet eight inches and would weigh one
hundred and sixty pounds; was dressed
in a suit of ready-made clothes OF dark
color. and had black shirt with white
check. There is some reason TO be-
lieve that the man had been murdered
as under the right ear there was mole
such as would have oeen made by
bullet and there were several marks OF
violence on the head. The body was
hurried this afternoon, after having
been viewed by a large number nohe
being able to identify it.

London, June 1.-THE Times corre-
spondent at Constantinople says:
The Sultan has appealed to Emperor
Nicholas and Emperor William TO sup
port his claim to annex Thessaly to the
Ottoman empire. This proceeding
highly displeases the ambassadors Of
the other powers, who are expected to
mark their displeasure by refusing 10
negotiate the other points nthe Turkish

is settled"
London, June At is understood
that Saturdays peace conference at
Constantinople was regarded as salts
factory by the ambassadors, but the
Sultan's direct appeal to Emperor
William is again delaying matters.
The Turks have already begun to gath
er the harvest in Thessaly.

Special to the Register.
Caldwell, o., June 19.-At three
o'clock this afternoon a terrific rain,
wind and hail storm passed just east
of this place, doing a vast amount Of
damage. The wind unroofed many
buildings, among which was the Free
Methodist church at Perryopolis. The
congregation had been dismissed only
a short while before the storm, hence
no one was injured. The hail, which
was almost as large as hen eggs, broke
the glass in hundreds of windows and
through the openings the rain poured in
torrents. The hail almost stripped the
trees Of their leaves and did an i'm
mense amount of damage to growing
crops. The storm was the worst ever
experienced in that locality Lines are
all down aad only meagre information
can be secured from points further
east.

FllibuStering Expedition Now
Getting Ready tc Sail.

Washington. June 13.-Uhe Treasury
Denartment has received by reference
from the Secretary of State, commune
cation from the Spanish minister to the
effect that he has information that an
important filibustering expedition Is
being organized on the coast of Florida
and asks that steps be taken by the
government to Illustrate ii. NO par
ticulars were given, so that the only
action that could be taken by the de-
nartment was TO communicate this in
formation to all collectors and masters
of the patrol fleet on the Florida coast,
with instructions to be on the alert to
prevent the departure of any suspected
expedition. This was done to-day by
telegraph.
It developed later that the depart
ment has specific information Of ship
ment o. arms and munitions for what
promises to be one of the most i'm
portant flibustering expeditions for
several months. A carload of rifles ant
dynamite left Jacksonville Friday
morning by the Florida East Coast
railroad and passed near SMYRNA,
south-bound. A second carload of rifles
and dynamite left jacksonville Satur-
day morning on the regular freight

transferred to some vessel on the East
coast. probably the yacht "Valusia,'

the vessels destined for Cuba. 1t is prob
able that the vessel which will receive
these arms will not come close to shore.

Immigration
Is the Question Now Exciting the
Labor Federation.
President Gompers Has Sent a
Series of Questions TO Labor
Unions, With View to Ascer-
tanning How Organized Labor
Stands on the Issue.

Washington, June 13.-President
Gompers and the other members OF
the Executive Council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor have sent
greeting on the immigration question
to affiliated unions, in order by this
means to obtain the sense OF organized
labor on the immigration question in
its several phases. The greeting says:
THE subject has been divided in
such a manner that each member
may have a fair opportunity to vote
either in favor of or opposed to the
entire subject of immigration restric-
ton or upon the measure and scope OF
such restriction.
"Of course, those who are opposed
to the restriction of immigration need
GIVE LITTLE ATTENTION
to the manner by which restriction
may be secured, while those who are
favorable to restriction can fully dis
cuss and decide as to the forms and
measures of restriction.
THE following are the questions sub
mitted:
docs your organization favor
amending the laws of the United States
to restrict immigration more than 1t
is now restricted?
"2-Does your organization favor a
provision in the law guarding against
criminal and pauper elements enter
ing into the United States?
"3.-Should the foreign consular SER
vice and our immigration department
be entrusted with greater powers TO
enforce immigration laws?
"4.-Should the violation of the alien
contract labor law by employers be
PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT?
"5.-Should the steamship compa-
MES be held responsible for a term Of
wears for the characters Of their pas
sengers?
o.
cational test be enforced as to qualifi-
cation for naturalization?
"7.-Should every immigrant be COM
pelled to declare his intention to be-
come a citizen Of the United States?
What other provisions does your
organization favor and suggest If any,
to further the restriction OF immigra-
ton?
Organizations which expect to be
represented at the Nashville conven-
ton of the A. F. of L. are urged to In
struct their delegates, so that the con-
vention may fully express the real
Judgment of organized labor on the
subject and unions which will not be
represented are directed to discuss and
vote on the question and return the
vote to headquarters not later than
October 30, 1897"

Yesterday was a day of severe
storms throughout all the surrounding

a series OF moderate thunder-storms,
but at least half-a-dozen times during
the afternoon the sky looked very
ominous. and hail was expected by
many. Fortunately, none fell in the
immediate vicinity of the city.
The storms appeared from this city

is confirmed by the telegram from

amended direct inheritance tax bill
Will be taken up by the House on Mon
day night for third reading and final
passage. The Bliss beer bills have
passed first reading in the Senate and
will be taken up during the week for
second reading. The temper of the
Senate is decidedly against them.
The horizontal tax bill has been re-
ferred to a subcommittee of the House
Ways and Means Committee, for
amendment. Friends of the measure
say they cannot master enough votes
to put it through the House.
TWO OTHER REVENUE BILLS
will be considered Monday night by the
House. One is the club license bill,
and the other to tax bicycles, pleasure
carriages and traction engines. The
first order of business will be bills on
first reading. The Rodgers charter bill,
which puts Pittsburg in the same class
with Philadelphia, is on the second
reading calendar. and is scheduled to
be taken up after the revenue bills are
disposed Of. The Pittsburg ripper
bill will be called up by Representative
TiIbrook, of Allegheny, on Tuesday at
II o'clock for final passage. The oppo-
nents of the charter bill will try to de-
feat it if they cannot prevent it from
being reached. The ripper bill is
almost
CERTAIN TO BE DEFEATED.
The matter of the extension of the
session will be settled when Senator
Quay comes to Harrisburg and has had
a conference with the leaders of the
House and Senate and Governor Has
tings. There is not much opposition to
the proposition to extend the session
until July 18th. The Governor is said
to favor this movement if the State
charities can be saved by the legislators
remaining a week or two longer.

tee will meet again Tuesday afternoon.
