Caleb Powers Found Guilty.

GEORGETOWN. Ky, Aug. 18.-"We,
the jury, find the defendant guilty and
FIX his punishment at confinement in
thepenitentiary for the rest of his natu-
ral life."
This was the wording of the verdict
rendered to-day in the case of ex-Sec-
retary of State Caleb Powers, charged
with being au accessory before the fact
to the murder of VIM. Goebel. The
jury retired at 1889 p. m. and returned
its verdict at 2:25, having been out only
53 minutes.
The vote in favor of life sentence
was unanimous.
When the jury retired the belief was
general that its members would fail to
agree and in this opinion the defendant
himself was firmly convinced.
When the verdict of guilty was re-
turned, Powers, for the first time dur
ing the weary six weeks of the trial,
betrayed his feelings. Under all of
the trying incidents Of the trial he had
maintained "A changeless expression.
The verdict of guilty, however, appa-
rently staggered him. He was sitting
near the door of the jury room and
when the jurors knocked on the door
summoning the sheriff, his face took on
an anxious look. When the twelve
men fled into the room and took their
seats and as Clerk Penn called the roll
of Jurors the prisoner did not appear to
be more excited than the vast thrOne
of spectators, q
Have you made q verdict, gentle--
men2n inquired the court.
eve have, the jurors assented, and
at the same time Mr. Stone, the fore
man, passed the verdict to the clerk,
who read it aloud. Powers, always
pale, grew ghastly white as the verdict
was read and his face betokened great
mental anguish. Then, somewhat re-
gaining his composure, ne turned to
Misses Dangerfield, who had been in
conversation with him and said: ri
was not expecting that. The verdict
is unjust"
| There was no sort of demonstration
following the verdict and the vast
crowd filed out of the court house al
most in silence. Powers remained in
the court room for some time after the
verdict was rendered, in conference
with his attorneys, who will at once
move for new trial, and, failing in
that, will take an appeal.
"i,un the juTymen entered the jury
room, Juror Stone, the Oldest man on
the panel, was elected foreman.
Juror Porter, the only Republican on
thejuFy, the first to speak, aaid: "Gen-
tlemen, Tam Republican and have
said that I did not believe Goebel's
murder was the result OF q conspiracy.
I'did not think Caleb Powers could be
guilty, but have heard the evidence
and am convinced he is"
Others also made talks and it is said
one of the men Of the jury intimated
that he thought the deathK Kpenalty
ought to be inflicted. However, whom

MACHINERY AND TRANSPORTATION BUILDING
the east and west sides are massive
domes. Two very tall towers rise above
both the north and south entrances
and help TO complete two wonderful
architectural compositions. Imagine,
If you can. the delicate and beautiful
character Of this unique work. Some
one has said II reminded the observer
of skillful confectioner's best
achievements in a fancy wedding cake
many times exaggerated. The compari-
son is not inappropriate perhaps, for
the Exposition celebrates closer I'M
ion of the several Americas. and in the
original white the wonderful compo-
sitions OF staff which crown these tow
ers possessed the apparent delieacy Of
one of these marvellous creations Of
the confectioner.
But color has been added, and the
white has disappeared The likeness
is no longer there. The brilliant colors
that the Moors loved so steadfastly
hundreds of years ago in Granada and
Andalusia have been revived, better
than the originals. The majestic col
umns and fancy pillars look like carv-
ed ivory. The arabesques have a
background of brilliant shades. such
as yellows, pinks and reds of varying
degrees of brightness. The round
domes have bands of green and other
shades. The roofs are all of red tile.
The broad caves are upheld by sub
stantial brackets that resemble rose
wood carved In intricate design. The
lofty towers present a radiance Of
blues. reds and gold. MedallIons of
Ericsson and other famous men who
have given the world wonderful ma
ehinery are surrounded with a glow of
color.
Difficult or impossible as it may seem
to the reader to employ brilliant colors
so freely upon a great building such as
this without destroying its grandeur
and cheapening its appearance. the
problem has been magnificently work
ed out, and the effect is not merely
pleasing aud harmonious. but the work
is an artistic triumph that every person
from far and near win delight to see.
The wonderful harmony of the many
colors that have been used Is at once
observed. and there is no one feature
OF the Exposition that has aroused
more popular interest than the great
color scheme. With the 20 or more
other big buildings, all aglow with col
or and adorned with richly nodded
plastic work. the effect will be pro-
found surprise to those who have visit
ed other Expositions.

EXPOSITION BEAUTY.


Early Hints of what the Visitors
May See Of Nodded Plastic orna-
mentation aud Color Decoration ne
Pan-American Exposition.
It Is now possible to go somewhat
more into detail regarding the plastic
and color work upon the various build
ings of the Pan-American Exposition.
The most advanced OF the buildings is
that to be devoted to machinery. The
stan upon the exterior OF this edifice is
NOW nearly all In place, and the great
structure Is In the hands OF the color
artists.
Though a very large building, 900 by
$50 feet, the four facades are so bro
ken by architectural features that
there Is nothing Of monotony or sever
ity. Every one who has the good for
tune to visit the grounds during this
advanced stage OF development unhes-
itatingly applauds the happy results Of
both the architectural and color
schemes.
In order that the reader may have a
correct understanding let me first de-
scribe tho nodded work with which the
exterior OF the building is ornamented.
BY means OF the very ingenious pro-
duction known as staff, which Is made
out of white plaster, into which liberal
quantities of manila fiber have been
mixed In order to make 1t tough and
durable, the Exposition buildings are
given the appearance Of solidity and
massiveness as well as the beauty OF
richly carved stone. But, since the
material is lot stone, the idea of add
ing color to the work has been suggest
ed. How to apply the color so that it
would heighten the beauty OF the work
has taxed the ingenuity of the most
famous mural painter of the world.
Mr.. Charles Y. Turner of New York.
The very intricate character of the
STAFF work and the vast amount of it
in delicate designs offered a most for
bidding task. All four of the broad
facades of the building have an arcad-
ed effect. Every window Is a deeply
recessed arch, with wide softits and
castings. Every entrance is composed of
one or more high arches, with massive
pillars at the sides, and every pillar
and plaster is of very elaborate detail.
Every window is grilled and finished
with fidelity to the most artistic ideas
of architects of the Spanish renais-
sance, from which the general archi-
tectural scheme OF the Exposition Is
derived.
At the four corners of the great
building are four towers, with open
pavilions, so feet above the ground.
Above the great arched entrances on

connecting with the Grand Canal,
which encircles the grounds. The
slopes of these lakes and the whole VI

cent outdoor exhibit of Towering plants

in such way as most TO enhance the
beautiful effect There will be large
display OF rare water plants, including
the Silumbiums and the wonderful
Victoria Regia. or Amazon Lily, and
many Nympheas not before exhibited.
Applications for space for exhibits on
the grounds and in the special building
to be devoted to horticulture are COM
ing from florists all over the country.
and the expressed desire of the cult
yators of flowers and plants to be rep
resented at the Pan-AmericaD insures
an extensive exhibition of these beau
tiful products of nature.

FLOWERS AT PAN-AMERlCAN.
Charming Landscape Effects and
Beautiful Floral Exhibits.

The Pan-American Exposition at Buff
falo next summer will possess unusual
charm for lovers of flowers and OF
beautiful landscape effects. Perhaps
in recognition of this the members of
the Society of American Florists have
decided to hold their annual conven-
ton in Buffalo in 1901. Chicago was
anxious to win the convention. but in
view of the special attractions for its
members which the Pan-Ameriean Ex-
position viii possess 1t was decided to
meet next year In the Pan-American
city. The gathering will bring to Buff
falo about 1000 delegates and their
families from all parts of the United
States. The floral features of the Pan
American Exposition and its landscape
effects will surpass anything ever seen
before by visitors to expositions held
h the United States. The laying out
of the grounds was done with the view
of providing for such attractions, and
ample space was left for courts and
