Found Not Guilty of the Murder Of
Actor Lefdenheimer.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 10.-The
trial of Julia Morrison (Mrs. James,
for the murder jof Frank Leidenheimer
of the "Mr. Plaster of Paris" COM
pany, of which they were leading man
and lady, on the stage of the Chatta-
nooga Opera house On the night Of Sep
tember 23 last, ended at O'Clock this
afternoon, when the jury returned
verdict of not guilty. Miss Morrison,
upon hearing the words which insured
her freedom, advanced to the speakers S
platform and made a most dramatic
speech to the court and the jury. She
said: 81 wish to thank you and the
gentlemen of the jury and all who
were instrumental in my acquittal for
your just and generous decision. May
God in His mercy be ever as just to
You and yours as you have been to me
to-day. AS for the prosecution, l wish
to say that L fully forgive them and
bear them no malice for their strenu-
Gus efforts for my conviction.
'As to my prosecutors" she contin-
ued, turning towards Mrs. George j.
ANTI, the beautiful sister of the muir
dered actor, who was overcome with
emtoion and suffused in tears, Il leave
them to their consciences and their
God. To the poor bereaved sister I say
that God knows that, were it in my
power to restore her brother to her, I
would certainly do it,
When Miss Morrison had finished her
speech, which she had rendered in a
dramatic style, Attorney General Don
aldson made a demand that she be held
for carrying a pistol and the case was
entered, but no bail or other formal
court recognition was accorded the ac-
tion. The verdict was wildly cheered
by the spectators in the court room and
by hundreds outside. Miss Morrison
will remain in Chattanooga for several
weeks after which she will begin lee
ture tour her subject being "The Other
Side of the Stage" in which she will
point out the dangers that confront
the young girls who follow the stage
as an occupation.

Return-Crew of Stranded Schooner
Reach Faulkner's Island

Guilford, Jan. 10.--The three-masted
schooner Francis Goodnow of Boston,
Captain John Ninnel, is ashore high
and dry on the west end of Goose
island, but although her position Is
critical it is thought that as the heavy
sea has subsded considerably it will
The schooner Is aground on a dangerous
stretch Of rocks located about a mile
west of Faulkner's island light in Long
Island sound. She was bound east and
is apparently loaded with empty oil
barrels. But one person, believed to be
the captain, is aboad, as the crew Of
flve or six men were seen to leave the
schooner in yaWl about II o'clock
this morning and land at Faulkner's
island without mishap. There is no
communication between the island and
Guilford and it was impossible to
reach the stranded schooner to-day BY
tug Or pilot boat which put out SO
that the details of the accident cannot
be learned tonight. The men on the
island will not suffer any inconvenience
has erected hut and always keeps 1t
stocked with canned goods and sup
piled with fuel for such occasions The
schooner went on the reef during
heavy wind and thick weather this
morning.
The schooner was discovered flying
signals Of distress early this morning
and as there was no way of reaching
her from shore a telephone message
was sent to New Haven for aid. The
tug James Fl. Hogan, Captain Dove, OF
the New Haven ToWboat company,
started shortly after 10 o'clock to go to
the assistance of the disabled schooner,
but she was forced to return tonight
without being able to render any az
sistance.
In the heavy sea that was running
the schooner was thrown about In a
threatening manner, but despite the X
fears of those who Were watching the
craft through glasses she was not
dashed to pieces on the rocks as was
threatened. About 10 o'clock the wind
subsided for short while and the sea
diminished, which enabled the crew to
lower yawl and row to Faulkner's
island without mishap. The wind, how
ever, soon freshened again and the
weather became so thick that it was
for the Hogan to gel near.
Pilot Thrall of this place started out
in his sailboat shortly before noon but
he also was forced to return without be-
ing able to reach the distressed
schooner Although when last seen
through the fog the schooner appeared
to have bad list to starboard and the
wind was apparently forcing her still
farther on the reef no apprehension is
felt for the solitary person aboard, as
should the situation become dangerous
ly critical it will be possible for him to
reach the shelter of Faulkner's island.
The Francis Goodnow was built at Har-
Dor View, Mass, in 1890, and is of 3Fq
tons gross tonnage and $40 tons net
Her length is 1914 feet; breadth 1873
feet, and depth 10.7 feet.

Vanderbilt on his return from a two
months cruise to Mediterranean points
may complete another colossal achieve
ment in railroad flnanciering, the first
steps Of which it was said last night
were entered upon a few days before
Mr.. Vanderbilt sailed A director of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
foard Railroad company is believed to
have taken to New Haven and Boston
last Saturday an informal offer from
Mr.. Vanderbilt which indicates that the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
system may become later a part of the
New York Central system
Mr. Vanderbilt told the director, it Is
said, that any close observer should
have no trouble in noting the tendency
of railway consolidation movements i'll
the Trunt Line territory east Of the
Mississippi and north OF the Ohio river
They meant that the Central system
was in a position to dominate the east
ern situation and that it might be ad-
vantageous for the New York, New
Haven and Hartford directors to con-
slider liberal offer from those in con-
troll of the Central. This director whose
influence with his associates in the
board is a potent one. said that if the
offer were large enough it would be
kindly considered and he asked what
the Connecticut and Boston people
might expect. 1t was suggested that
guarantee of per cent. on the CAPT
tai stock might be considered. That is
as far as the conference advanced, 1t Is
said, and the director went away to
talk it over with his friends in New
England, with the conviction that such
an arrangement would be favorably re-
oarded

terpreted to mean that Ladysmith is
safe, but it is more likely intended to
prepare the British public for a terrible

twenty-five deaths from enteric few

London, Jan. 10-9:05 p. m.-General
Lord Roberts, the new commander OF
the British forces in South Africa, and
his chief-of-staff, General Lord Kitch-
ener, have arrived at Cape Town.
1t is assumed that their clearer vision,
supported by $4,000 fresh men who are
due to arrive in South Africa within
thirty days, will alter the situation and
that the fourth month of the campaign
will witness the beginning of victories
for the British arms. They are not ex-
pected, however to produce definite re-
suits for some days but their mere
presence will restore the shaken conf
dence of the men at the front in their
generals.
Lord Roberts finds 100000 men on the
defensive or watching for an opening.

Daily Mail has broken down" and the
field marshal may relieve him. Posi-
bly, some others will be relieved of i'm

plenty of rank in evidence in South AT

there are two full generals. four lieu
tenant-generals and twelve or fourteen

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by CELL
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

PrOper Bathing.

Every person, old or young, sick or
well, ought to have a daily bath. I'm
mediately after arising in the morning
is the best time. A quart of water and
a bowl-there ought to be two-is all
that is necessary. The water need not
be cold or hot; from 40 to so degrees is
preferable. The young and the very
vigorous can safely indulge in much
colder water.
Let the bath be taken rapidly, occu-
pying from two to five minutes. Sim
ply wet the entire person with water,
dry this off with one towel, then rub
the surface brisllly with dry, coarse
towel Then dress rapidly; then exer-
else until there is a full, free action in
the circulation and warmth.
If there is need for the use of soap
except locally, and where there is a
daily bath there is little need for it,
let that be used before retiring al
night.
