lies Alverton, large coke town, with

Paris, Oct. 3l.-The foreign office OF

linquishing it is each city only long
enough to permit an exchange of WIS.,

will tender him demonstration
which will be scene of enthusiasm.
The government will not take part in
the reception, but will not, however,
put any obstacles in the way of pri.
vate plans of welcome. in short, the
government will not take any step
likely to be construed as an ofYense
to Great Britain, though il is certain
President Loubet and Mr.. Kruger will
exchange visits. The same proceed.

TERRELL FOUND GUILTY.
rhe Murderer OF Express Messenger Lane
Convicted of Murder In the
First Degree.

Marysville, o., Oct. 51.-The jury, at
midnight, returned verdict of muir
der in the first degree, without rec
ommendation, against Rosslyn H. Fer
rel for the murder, on the night OF
August 10, last, of Charles Lane, an
express messenger on Panhandle
east-bound train. The murder was
committed for the purpose of robbery.
Terrell secured $1,000 in money from
the safe of the Adams Express Co.
The verdict carries with it the death
penalty, which is electrocution. A
desperate effort was made to save the
prisoners life. The crime was not
denied, but the plea made that he was
mentally irresponsible and an attempt
was made to show that insanity was
hereditary.
The deliberations Of the jury occu-
pied six hours and thirty minutes, and
the verdict was reached ut 11:40 last
night. Both Judge Melhorn and the
prisoner had retired for the night,
and nearly an hour was consumed be-
fore court could be convened, and the
verdict received.
When the verdict was read Fer
rell appeared to be taken by surprise
and his face flushed. This was the
first visible sign of emotion that had
been shown by him during the trial,
but he Quickly regained composure,
and was led back to his cell without
having uttered word, Judge Mel
horn discharged the jury, and Hon. j.
L. Cameron, counsel for the defense
at once gave notice of motion for
new trial.
One of the grounds of the motion
will be the sickness of Juror West
lake, who was taken with measles
shortly after the jury had retired to
deliberate. Mr.. Cameron claims mat
in his condition Mr.. Westlake would
have agreed to any verdict in order to
be released from duty. There were
not over twenty spectators in the
court room when the jury reported
and there was no excitement.

COAL GAS EXPLOSION.
Three Miners Killed and Several Sc
verely Burned-DificultW Work
of Rescue.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 31.-A heavy
explosion of gas occurred in slope No.
3 of No. shaft of the Kingston Coal
Co., at Edwardsville, at three o'clock
yesterday afternoon, in which three
unfortunate miners lost their lives
and six others were badly burned
Five of the six injured are in n pre-
carious condition, and it is doubtful
if they can survive. When these men
were brought to the surface by the
rescuers the skin hung in shreds from
their bodies.
The work of rescue was dangerous,
as "after damp had accumulated.
The first rescuing party that went
down the mine were driven back, and
two men in the party had to be car
ried out.
The force of the explosion was so
great that it blew down great Sec
ton of the roof. 1t was thought at
first that there were a number of men
back of the fall, but last night the
mine officials were of the opinion that
all the men had been taken out. The
relatives Of two men report, however,
that they are still missing.
The accident was due to an employe
who diverted the air course unwit-
tingly and allowed the gas to ac-
cumulate in the place where the men
were at work.
