KENNEDY CONVICTED.
Notorious Train Robber Given Seventee
Years by Il Jury Of Farmers.

Notorious Train Robber Given Seventeen
Years by II Jury OF Farmers.
HARTv1LIlE, Mo-, June 21.-John Ken
nedy, the notorious Cracker Necl1er,"
has finally been convicted of train rob-
berry. The jury before whom Kennedy
was tried for completely in the robbery
Of an express train at Macomb on Jan.
3 last, returned q verdict last evening
aljudging Kennedy guilty as charged
and fixing his punishment at II years i'll
the state penitentiary.
Strangely enough it remained for
Kennedy to be convicted by jury Of
farmers here in Hartville, over 20 miles
from any railroad, after the authorities
in such railroad center as Kansas City
had signally failed to convict him Of the
numerous charges Of train robbery
which they had brought against him.
Six men were actually engaged in the
Macomb hold up. Of these, Jake Fegely,
who received a penitentiary sentence of
IA years, and John Kennedy have been
convicted. Old Bill Ryan, a member of
the notorious old James gang, Joe
Sheppard, Louis Nigh and Elmer
Byram are the others accused of COM
plicity i'll the hold-up. Their trials will
follow that of Kennedy. Elmer Byram
having made full confession will prob
ably not be severely punished.

Enough Elements to Sustain the Gov

PARIS, June 2l.--It is now said Presi-
dent Loubat will ask M. Bourgeois, the
former premier and minister of foreign
affairs, to form new cabinet
The prolongation of the cabinet crisis
is becoming most serious. NM. Dupuy
and Locllroy both called on President
Loubet yesterday and expressed their
anxiety to be relieved of the RESPONSE
bllity CT office as soon as possible. Tt is
reported orders have been sent to St.
Michacls, AZore islands, directing the
commander of the French cruiser Sfax,
which is bringing Captain Dreyfus to
France, to remain there short time so
as not to arrive i'll home waters until
the new ministry is installed.
Should Bourgeois accept the task of
forming ministry it is thought his
chances of success would be fairly good.
His prestige has been much increased by
the part he played in the deliberations
Of the peace conference at The Hague.
The latest gossip favors combination
cabinet, including NM. Bourgeois,
Brisson, PoinC ro and Waldecl1- -Rous-
sean, but nothing will be known until
M. Bourgeois arrives.
M. WaldeclS- Rousseau, discussing his
failure, is reported to have said: II

straighttorwardness from my former
advers,n'ies, but found only treason

MANSFIELD, O., June 21.-A storm of
unusual severity occurred here last
night and extended to other points in
Ohio, notably Shelby ON the northwest
and Loudonville on the southeast. Here
the storm lasted from 1880 until after
midnight. A number of outbuildings
We're moved from their foundations and
many houses We're under water several
feet deep. The street car power house
was flooded so that cars could not run
after 8 p. m. The total damage done i'll
the city is estimated at $50, 900 and may
be more.
At Shelby the rise in the little stream
running through the town was so rapid
that citizens were aroused at 2 a. IN. by
the fire alarm and by tho ringing of
church bells. All cellars were flooded
and the principal streets became run
ming streams. The postof1ice could not
be reached early in the day and bust
ness was at a standstill.
At Lordonville the storm seems to
have gathered strength and there was a
decided cloudburst. Horsetail creek
soon broke over it's banks with such
force that the first house it struck, that
of Isaac Hunter, was swept from its
foundations and completely destroyed.
Hunter is missing and may be drowned
Bridges and roadways have been broken
Or destroyed, entailing loss Of 100000.

says: On the 18th considerable damage
was caused by local hail and wind
storms i'll some of the counties in the
central and northern districts. Despite
these drawbacks, fair progress has been
made in cultivating the cornfields and
in finishing planting in the southern
section. The condition of corn is very
uneven and the output uncertain, but
with favorable conditions i'll the future
it is possible to bring the crop up to
nearly an average in the larger part Of
the state. Reports from nearly all sec
tions confirm previous advices as to the
rank growth of spring wheat, oats and
barley and the danger of loss by lodging
