THE FERRELL TRIAL BEGUN.
The Murderer OF Express Messenger
Lane VIII Put Up n Plea
of Insanity.

Marysville, O., Oct. 16.-Rosslyn H.
Ferrell was placed on trial for his life
here Monday on the charge of mur-
dering Adams Express Messenger
Chagles Lane on August 10, 1900. Fer
rell made written confession of his
crime, in which all the details of how
he shot Lane and robbed the express
safe were set forth. The purpose of
the robbery was to secure money for
his then approaching marriage with
Miss Lillian Costlow, of Columbus. in
whose presence he was when arrested
two days later. The young lady has
been subpoenaed as witness for the
state.
The wife of the murdered express
messenger is here from London, Ont,
for the purpose of doing all she can
to send Ferrell to the electric chair.
The only defense will be insanity,
and an attempt will be made to prove
him degenerate. Efforts to secure a
jury occupied all of Monday.

PORT LIMoN BURNED.
A City of Costa Rica Suffers a Loss
of Over $2,OOO,OOO from
Flames.

Panama, Colombia, Oct. 16. - Dis
patches from Costa Rica tell of the al
most total destruction by fire of Port
Limon, the principal port of the re-
public. The business section of the
city was entirely wiped out. The fire
started Saturday night and very soon
got beyond control. Building after
building and block after block were
swept by the flames and in a short time
more than 100000 worth of property
was burned up. Among the heaviest
sufferers were the Port Limon bank,
Limos Bros, the United Fruit company
and several hotels. Chinese merchants
were also heavy losers. Port Limon was
in fourishing condition and the COM
mission interests of the city have been
very large.

CHINA'S ONLY HOPE.
Il Rests In Hnsty ConcIusion
of the Pending Negotiations
for Peace.

London, Oct. 16.-"Since the Chinese
court arrived at the new capital, Sian
Eu," says a special dispatch from
Shanghai, dated Monday, "reactionary
edicts removing the moderates from
high offices have been issued showing
that Prince Tuan holds the imperial
seal"
The Daily Chronicle has the following
from Vienna:
None of the powers except France
and the United States approve the
Russian proposal to carry the claims
for indemnity against China to the ar
bitration tribunal at The Hague
Washington, Oct. 16.-There is no
concealment by the authorities of their
earnest desire that peace negotiations
between the powers and China be in
stituted at once. Only such action,
the officials believe, can prevent fresh
outbreaks which may further embar-
rass this government in attempting to
bring about prompt solution of the en-
tire question without affecting the ad
ministrative and territorial entity of
China. This belief is based on, repre-
sentations made to the state depart
ment by Minister WI and dispatches
received by Secretary Hay from w. w.
Rockhill, special commissioner of the
United States to China
From Japan Mr.. Rockhill went to
Shanghai, where he saw Ii Hung
Chang, and then went to Peking. He
reported an interview some days ago
with the viceroy of Shantung. That
official announced his willingness to
continue the policy of suppressing the
revolt, but he urged that peace nego-
tiations be instituted as rapidly as pos
sible to prevent an outbreak, unless
some step in the direction of official
peace were taken. Mr.. Rockhill has
now gone to visit the viceroy Shan
Shi Tung.
Mr.. Rockhill is doing good work in
lying any suspicion Chinese officials
may entertain respecting the policy of
the United States and is supplying in
formation to Secretary Hay of great
value.
Hong Kong, Oct. 16.-A column of
troops was dispatched Monday morn
ing to the Kowloon frontier, with the
ouJcSb VI pdIIlHB dTIneu refugees,
either rebels or imperial troops, from
entering British territory when de-
feated.
The rebels are reported to be 5000
strong 30 miles north of the British
frontier. A thousand of Admiral Hos
troops are in pursuit of them, while
2,00O Chinese troops have left Canton,
overland, to intercept the rebels.
Admiral Ho has informed the gov
ernor that the rebellion was careful
ly planned. The rebels are anxious to
conciliate the villagers and gain the
respect of foreigners, hence the alb
sence of outrage and pillage.
Berlin, Oct. 16.-The Berlin Neueste
Nachrichten says it understands that
Germany's answer to the note of NJ.
Delcasse, French minister of foreign
affairs, was dispatched Monday, that
it is in friendly tone and that it

enunciated by NJ. Delcasse. The pa
per does not assert that the reply
deals with all his propositions.

Review Of Mining Operations
and Developments of Lake
Superior Diistrct.
LIVELY AT MESABA.

Since explorations near Mesaba,
early in the year, proved the exist
ence of valuable ore body at that
point great amount of explorat tory
and development work in that Sec
ton has brought the town back to
it's pristine activity in the early days
of the Mesaba boom, when it was
the starting point for all range vis-
itors and explorers. At the present
time the Minnesota Iron company
is doing a great amount of work at
this point, running double shift
where possible. They are 20 feet in
ore in one shaft, assays showing an
excellent grade. Explorations on
this property, on which the Mime
sofa company has an option, show
the ore body to cover an area near
ly one half mile wide by one mile
in length the surface covering being
about 50 feet. Additional machin-
cry will be put in and the sinking
of working shaft will begin. It
is ru1nored that a portion of the
property is favorably considered as
a stripping proposition.
The Oliver people also prepare
for active work on the Stevens, and
will strip and put this mine in ac-
tive commission the coming year.
There are several explorations
between Mesaba and Mckinley and
it is understood the Iron Range will
build spur from Nesaba into the
Oliver property, hauling the ore
by way of Mesaba and opening the
| intermediate territory.
Aside from the mining activity
there is also bright prospects for
the building of mill the coming
| winter

A NON'PARTISION DIVISION CLUB.

While all Virginians do or should
unite upon the county division
proposition, they should remember
that this sentiment may not be as
strong on this subject at other
points in the county, and they
should be up and doing.
1t is now but eight weeks to elec-
ton and if an organization is to be
formed for the purpose of further
ing the interests of Virginia by Sc
curing to this point the county seat
of the new county of Iron, in time
for effective work, the move should
not be too long delayed.
An organization for this purpose
should be strictly non-partisan;
politics should not enter into the
deliberations of the body, further
than that we should favor the
friends and remember the enemies
of the division movement.

NEW ORE FIND IN MONTANA SHAFT

The recent discovery of an i'm
mense body of high grade ore at the
ninth level of the Montana shaft of
the Minnesota Iron company's mine
at Soudan, says the Tower News,
completely dispels the belief that
that company's workings in this
vicinity are fast playing out. The
vein was discovered more by acci-
dent than anything else and while
it's dimensions have not as yet been
thoroughly explored it is known to
a certainty to be over one hundred
feet in width, one-half of which is
clear ore.
