Cambridge, Md, Nov. 16. THE Dia-
mond State Telephone Co. is making
preparations to rebuild the lines re-
Gently acquired by it in Dorchester
county. -Four hundred and thirty poles,
some of them 65 feet in length, have
been brought to this county from
Greenwood Creek, an estuary of East
ern Bay. Two hundred and eighty-five
were brought to Cambridge for use in
town and on the contiguous country
lines. The remainder went to Secre-
tary, in upper Dorchester. The actual
work of rebuilding will begin on Mon
day, and will be rapidly pushed. Part
of the work will he the substitution
of metallic circuits for the former sys-
tenn of ground circuits The managers
expect during the coming year to run
their line to Vienna and other points
in upper Dorchester and to extend
them in lower Dorchester to Church
Creek, Madison and Taylor's Island.

WOMAN PLEADED GUILTY.

Centreville, Nd, Nov. 16. Just be-
fore court adjourned last night the
sheriff was ordered to bring Mary
Chairs into court. An agreement had
been reached between her attorneys and
the States attorney with the assent of
the court, whereby che was to plead
guilty of nanslaughter and not stand
trial for her life. The State accepted
it because it would have been difficult
to have Cotton convicting evidence
against her. She was entenoed to serve
10 years in the r enitentiary. The evil
dence in the case showed plainly that
Matthew Chairs and his wife Mary en-
tered into conspiracy to lure Solomon
Roberts to,the straw stack and to entrap
him. 1t would, perhaps, have been
difficult to have proved that the woman
had any knowledge that her husband
intended to kill Roberts. What her
motive was can only be surmissed.
Both of the prisoners, Matthew and
Mary, went through the trial with
seeming indifference to the result. The
woman received her sentence of 10
years Imprisonment with the utmost
GOODNESS.

FIGHTING THE FISH TRUST.
Independent Boston Dealers
Issue an Appeal.

Issue an Appeal.
Boston, Mass, Nov. IL. Sharp riv-
airy exists between the National Fish
Co. and wholesale fish dealers not
identified with the combination.
A bout year ago the National Fish
Co. was Incorporated under the laws of
Delaware, with a capitalization of
S5, 600, 900. Several Of the wholesale
fish dealers and outside parties com
bined and formed a trust. Since then
the business of few other fish ard
lobster dealers has been absorbed, max
ing in all IA firms who have entered the
combination.
Nearly every firm has been ap-
preached and asked to enter the com
bination, but % firms have steadfastly
refused, believing that their ir terests
would be best subserved by continuing
as independent dealers
Recently the National Fish Co. issued
to retail dealers circulars calculated to
seriously affect the standing of those
outside of the combine. In order to
protect their interests the independent
dealers formed Boston Wholesale
Fish Dealers Association. meeting
was held on Saturday, ar which the
situation was thoroughly discussed and
the following appeal to the retail trade
was issued:
1--WE are % dealers who are pursuing
our business Independently of the com
bination of dealers known as the Ma
tional Fish 20. We own ard abso-
lutely control every part of our own
business and we handle the greater
part of the fish landed.
"We believe 1T needs no argument to
convince you that it is to your interest
for us to remain Independent dealers
rather than enter any combination and
thus place the business in the hands OF
one concern. Our ability to supply
you with fish is second to none, as We
are receivers and distributors Of fish
| from all the great sources of supply,
both ocean, lake and river. ?"

IVORY AND PERRY SENTENCED.
To BE Hanged for the Murder of Prof. Ro.
Wilson white.

To Be Hanged for the Murder OF Prof. Roy
Wilson white.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 1S.-The law
yesterday, avenged tho murder of Roy
Wilson White, the young instructor in
the University of Pennsy lvapia Law
School, when Judge Arnold sentenced
to death Henry Ivory and Charles
Perry, two of the three negroes accused
of the crime The most solemn decree
known to the courts was duplicated in
quick succession before scarcely score
Of spectators, after neS trials had been
refused each of the defendants.
Both men were convicted of murder
of the first degree, Ivory on October
Gath and Perry on October Goth last.
Motions for new trials were made in
each case, which were argued last
Thursday before Judge Arnold, who
tried the negroes, and Judge Beitler.
When the prisoners were brought into
court on Saturday, Judge Arnold merely
announced before imposing sentence
that he refused the new trials. lie
subsequently filed written opinions,
setting forth his reasons at length.
Judge Beitler was also upon tho bench
during the session.
Ivory was first placed in The dock.
Perry being removed from the room
while his companion was being sem
fenced. Then Ivory was taken to the
cell room while the other heard the
courts decree.
The appearance and demeanor Of each
man bore striking contrast to that of
his fellow prisoner. Ivory is a short,
slightly built negro, whose sharp
features. large, wandering eyes and
quick movements remind ope Of some
animal-a fox or a rati He took keen
interest in every detail, replied that
he had nothing to say when asked il
there were any reason why the death
sentence should not be pronounced.
and heard that he was to be hanged
with body in repose and eyes rivetted
upon Judge Arnold.
Not go Perry. He is young man of
heavy build and sensual, heshy features.
In reply to the usual question preced-
| ing sentence, he asked for mercy in
regards my family The words we're
scarcely audible, and had to be re-
peated by an officer to Judge Arnold.
During the imposition Of sentence, he
| stood with eyes cast down and hands
convulsIvely grasplng the raj of the
dock. The words seemed to daze him,
and he turned as one in a stupor to
the officers, who hustled him away to
prison.
District Attorney Rothermel said that
o definite date had not been fixed for
the trial OF Amos Sterling. the third
| defendant. It is rumored that Ivory
and Perry will be used as witnesses
agaist him.
