THORN rRErAnED FOR THE WORST
Has Little Hope of Evnding the DcutI,
Penalty,

NEW YORK, Dec Martin Thorn, who
last evening heard the verdict of the jury
which will send him 10 the electric chair 10
eXpiate the murder of William Guldensuppe,
passed quiet night in his cell at the Queens
county jail. When Sheriff Doht went in to
see Thorn this morning the prisoner said he
had no appetite for breakfast but he felt
that a big load was off his mind. Thorn did
not talk as if he had any hope of getting a
new trial. He supposed, he said he would
have TO make up his mind to meet the worst.
Mrs Mack spent a restless night being
evidently much affected by the conviction of
Thorn When she heard Of the verdict she
wept and expressed sorrow for her former
lover, although she says her conscience is
relieved. Mrs Mack is in a highly nervous
condition and ise now very anxious about
her own case. District Attorney Youngs has
not announced just what he proposes doing
in the case of Mrs Mack but says he will
take no acticn until after Thorn is sentenced.
II is understood Mrs. Mack will be
arraigned In court next week when her
counsel, Emanuel Friend, will. in her be-
half, enter a plea of guilty OF manslaughter
In the first degree, and that the district at
torney will accept the plea. In doing this,
Mr. Youngs would be recognizing Mrs.
Nacks action in turning states evidence at
the first trial Mrs, Mack may be sentenced
to twenty years Imprisonment
Lawyer Howe today denied in strong terms
the statement that Thorn after his conviction
yesterday confessed to the killing and dis
memberment of Guldensuppe. Mr.. Howe re-
iterated his belief that the court of appeals
would reverse the verdict
Dolipa Cant In Mathvan pf I ,pry Leland Cf.,,
said There are some discrepancies In the
published report Of Thora's confession, but
the main facts remain unchanged. Thorn
made rart Of the confession to me and part
TO Sheriff Doht. From what Sheriff Doht has
told me I can truthfully say that Thorn con-
iessed that he killed Guldensuppe."

HAVANA, Dec. 1.--Accordlng to reports
from San Domingo small pox is making ter
rible ravages among reconcentrados. Since
April last more than 1000 have died in the
city alone. The streets OF the city are
thronged with famine-stricken wretched
beings who succumb to disease under per-
haps some lonely portico and sometimes fall
dead in the gutter. At San Domingo the
worst African savages are more
humane than the local authorities.
More than 29O small pox cases
are known to exist, but no one is ever
vaccinated. Medical aid is very scarce and
the burial of these wretched beings is most
brutally effected. Often fifteen corpsee are
piled together in car and dumped together
in a hole, to be covered with such little
earth that the list shower exposes the limbs
of the dead which are afterwards devoured
by vutures, hogs and dogs.

spALDING MUST GO TO pRIso,
Ex-BnnlI President is Sentenced to Dc


CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Charles Warren Spad-
ing, ex-president of the Globe Savings bank,
was today sentenced to an indeterminate
term in the pententiary. He was charged
with embezzling funds of the University of
Illinois of which he was treasurer.
The proceedings in court were highly
dramatic. Judge Horton reviewed the case
in an elaborate opinion and one assertion
seemed to unnerve Spalding. This was when
the court said that Spalding admitted his
guilt.
81 wish" cried spalding, ito deny that 1
or my counsel ever admitted my guilt"
Judge Horton had asked Spalding if he had
anything to say why sentence should not be
passed on him.
"Yes!" exclaimed the banker standing up.
In a few rapid words he made denial of
ever having admitted guilt and then said:
Every dollar l received from the university
has been applied to its benefit l protest
against this unjust verdict which l feel
would not have been returned had your
honor permitted certain facts to be consid-
cred by the jury. These facts had relation
to the question OF intent-intent to commit
embezzlement. am proud of my business
career of thirty-three years, fifteen of which
have been passed in this community. 1 chal-
lenge any man to stand up before me and
say l ever did him wrong.
Your honor may abridge my days of use
fulness. but you cannot take from me the
honor of the cast"
At this point Spaldng's voice failed him
and he began to choke with emotion. Judge
Horton then imposed sentence.
1t was announced in behalf of the banker
that an appeal would be taken to the supreme
court, pending which he will be kept in the
county Jail, where he has been confined since
last spring
The charge on which Spaldng was convicted
was the embe22lement of S2S,OOO OF
Macoupin county bonds the property
Of the university. Banker Spaldlng
made stubborn fight. Besides
being in justice courts and before masters
in-chancery several times, he twice stood
trial on the charge of illegally diverting
funds intrusted to his care. The first time
the verdict was not guilty. but on the second
trial, which was on a different count, the
jury brought in an adverse decision. The
indictment and subsequent conviction, the ro-
mantle love story underlying the dry details
OF his alleged offense and his self posse session
under the most trying circumstances, all
combined to make his case an unusually in
te:esting one

chief, ex-President Harrison member OF the

the Relation OF the Railroad Toward the

said in regard to injunctions;
THE writ of injunction that prohibits a

struction Of the functions OF government, has
proven an efficient process of the law 10 Sc
cure at least fair hearing on the merits OF

RuMons ON CHINESE SITUATION.


Germuny's Plans,
BERLIN, DEC. ALI sorts of wild rumors
are current here and at Kiel, probably based
in the main upon the speech of Emperor
William at the opening OF the Reichstag. as
to the relations between Germany and China.
But most OF these are discredited
The National Zeitung has confirmed the
statement Of the emperor that Germany s
only object in the occupation of Kiao Chau is
to protect German missionaries in China
and the alarmist stories are taken with
liberal allowances of salt.
A sensation was caused today by a report
that the Chine had massacred 200 German
sailors belong to the German cruiser
Division in Kiao Chau bay. but there has
been no confirmation OF this, while the
latest dispatches received from Admiral Won
Deidrich, commander of the Division, which
were dated the afternoon of November 2S.
make no reference to fighting at Kiao Chau.
The Berliner Tageblatt is responsible for
the statement that the additional cruisers
are going to Kiao Chau, bringing the force
there up to ten ships, with 5000 men and 120
guns The same journal says also that a
force of marines, including the crew of the
imperial yacht Hohenzolern, is going to Kiao

LONDON, Dec. 1.-(New York Cablegram-

which owned or operated public utilities Is
made the text Of an article by the Daily
Chronicle.
THE average municipality in America is
in such bad odor and supposed to be so far
behind the average European municipality in
regard to collective enterprise" says the
Chronicle, that it will come as almost a
revelation to great many people here.
This statement must be taken with a good
many grains Of salt. The New York World,
however, gives some important statistics with
reference to municipal ownership of monopo-
lies in American cities which are worth con-
sideration by the voters OF London, who,
having put clericalism under their feet at
the recent school board election, will be
called upon next March to determine on the
question of a proper revolution Of the munic-

emulate Germany, at least keep up with the
chief American cities in the matter OF
ownership OF great monopOlies by public au-
thorities."
