 ary 18.


 Liberty. Mo-, Jan. 1.-The jury in the trial of William Foley for the murder of his sis- ter and mother, after being out two hours and forty minutes. this afternoon returned a verdict of murder in the first degree. After the verdict had been read Judge Broaddus sentenced Foley to be hanged Friday. Feb. IS.
 When young Foley was brought into court to hear his sentence his face was ashen, he trembled perceptibly and per- spiration stood out upon his brow and after the judge had passed sentence upon him he sank limp and helpless into a chair.
 In passing sentence the judge said: At your first trial I had very grave doubts of your guilt, but on the second they. were swept away. The evidence has shown you to be guilty. While it looks incredible, the chain of circumstantial evidence, is conn plete I cannot conceive why you should murder your mother and sister. You must be one of the most depraved human beings that ever walked the earth cannot think you murdered them for any motive. You and your God alone know why you stained your hands with the blood of those tt was your duty to love and protect"

 in Mexico.

s Chicago. Jan. IA dispatch from San Antonio, Tex. says: A dispatch from Guana Justa. Mexico, says that thes San Puerta coal mine. near here. was suddenly flooded with water from an underground river and thirty-five miners were drowned.

The rush of water came without warning. There was sharp crack like an explosion; the wall of coal and slate gave way and before the men could seek safety on an upper level the rush of water followed and the men were swallowed up almost before they could drop their tools.
 An expedition will be sent into the mine as soon as possible to recover the bodies.

And your thoughts no longer dwell, love

You but worked girlish guy OF on me-,

For your tears were ready made, Sweet
When donned the soldier blue, Sweet Marie,
Like picnic woodtick you stuck to me;
And the smile you used to wear was full

AS sunbeam on tear, Sweet Marie.
How your cunning head you'd lay-lovingly-
On my bosom, while you'd say things to me;
There you'd rest in loving pose. right be-

Swiping buttons from my clot hes. Sweet

Where the tropic sun will glow oyer me;
And J. II wander through the dells with the

Who are dressed in beads and shells scantily.
There your face I'll soon forget, Sweet Marie
Til be frisky, you can bet, as a flea
I'll be giddy, I'll be gay, I will sing the
