that the Jury would fail to agree, ana
in this opinion the defendant hlInseiI
was firnal yconvinced. When the Vef-

changeless expression, the same

Poweres In Staggered.
The verdict Of guilty, however, ap-
parently staggered him. He was SIT
ting near the door Of the jury room
and when the jurors knocked on the
door, summoning the sheriff, his race
took on an anxious look that was no.
ticeable, but did not seem to be partlc-
ularly apprehensive. When the Twelve
men filed into the room and took their
seats as Clerk Penn called the roll OF
I Jurors, the prisoner did not appear TO
be more excited than the vast throng
of spectators who craned their necks
to catch the first intimation Of the YER
dict
..Have you made verdict, gentle
men ~ inquired the court.
1--WE have" the jurors assented, and
at the same time Mr.. Stone, the Tore
man, passed the verdict up to the
clerk, who read it aloud. Powers, al
ways pale, grew CHASTITY so as the YER
dict was read, and his face betokened
great mental anguish. This was only
for few seconds however, and then,
somewhat regaining his composure, he
turned to the Misses Dangerfield, who
had been in conversation with him,
and said: 81 was not expecting it; the
verdict was 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 conversation
with his attorneys, who will at once
move for a new trial, and failing in
that, will make an appeal.

CAUSED GREAT Loss. /
Fire. Destroys Property Valued AZ

Alexandria, Ind, Aug. 21.-The entire
plant Of the Kelly AK Manufacturing
company, valued at 100000, was de-
stroyed by fire last evening. This was
the largest AK factory in the world.
The plant was well insured.
The fire started in the grinding de-
partnent of the ak factory. A strong
wind carried the flames to the pump
house and doomed the entire WORKS 20
destruction. In short time the wheel
plant, covering ten acres was reduced
to ashes. 1t was the only plant not IN
the trust, was valued at nearly mil
lion dollars, and although in the hands
of receiver, was expected to be taken
out of the receivers hands next Janu-
ary-
Just how the fire started is unknown,
but it is thought to have originated
from an overheated boiler. When first
discovered by the Waterman the wood
work between the boilers and grinding
room was ablaze. The plant was
thoroughly equipped with an auto
matte sprinkler, but owing to the
steam in the boilers being SO low 1t
would not work. Many Of the ems
ployes of the establishment live within
a short distance of it and every effort
was made to extinguish the blaze
without success, and the plant, en-
ploying about 700 men, was destroyed
within a short time. w. F. Kelly said
last night that it was his intention to
rebuild the plant, providing the insur-
anee was sufficient. He also said the
debris would be cleared away at once,
and that all his employees who so de-
sired would be given work.

In speaking of the possibility Of an
alliance between Peru, Bolivia and the
Argentine Republic, with view to war
with Chile, an American, who has
lived in Chile for a number of years
says: Peru and Bolivia know very
well that they cannot whip Chile, and
the outcome of a war, in the event OF
the alliance | have named, would be
the same. The Chileans can and will
fight. We can put $4,000 men in the
field, for 10 per cent of the population
can be counted upon in the event OIL
war. We have ample modern arms
and 7 have no fear as to the outcome
Should the Queen Of England decide

One of the most fascinating exhibits
at the Paris Exhibition is that contrib
uted by the Pasteur Institute. In the
Pavilion of Hygiene are many neatly
labeled bottles, securely corked, one
hopes, containing an army of bacilfi
and parasites. The ravages of the mi
crobes are further demonstrated in its
attacks on the raw materials Of silk,
of beer. and of wine: whilst hard by
another case illustrates the expert

exploded his own belief in the theory

ROBERTS FIRM STAND,
No Mercy for Those Who Break
Their Oaths. f&6 ssas

<. Pretoria, Aug. 81. - Lord Roberts
proclamation, after reciting the fact
that, many have broken the oath to
maintain neutrality and that the leni-
ency extended to the burghers is not
appreciated, warns all who break their
oath in the future that they will be
punished by death, imprisonment or
fine. He declares that all burghersr in
districts occupied by the British, ex-
cept those who take the oath will be
regarded as prisoners of war and
transported, and that buildings ON
farms where the enemy or his scouts
are harbored, will be liable to be RACED.

The age reached by city trees IL by
no means an immaterial question. Prof.
Mangin, In lecture recently delivered
at the Sorbonne, Paris, pointed out
that there were 10000 trees in the city
of Paris, not counting those in the
parks, cemeteries and school yards.
Each tree cost from $50 TO 175 francs,
$50 to s35 This makes a capital of
about l5, 100000, 900 francs, or some s2,s!5,
900. 1t will be seen that a trees age
has not merely scientific interest, but
that it is of the utmost economical i'm
portance. Among the Paris trees there
are 1921 planes, IL 1876 chestnuts, 1855
elns, 9,Ts6 alders, $3.50 NAPLES, 5,125
planemaples. 1927 locust trees, or false
acacias, % linden trees and 1904 paul
ownias. Generally speaking, the NOR
tally of the trees in the center Of the
city is almost double that Of the trees
in the outskirts.
