DEATH PENALTY IMPOSED.
Verdict of Guilty, with the Death
Penalty. In the Case of
James Howard.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 27.-The jury
in the case of James Howard, tried for
alleged completely in the Goebel as
sassination, returned its verdict at
e:43 a. m. The court room was
crowded with spectators almost
trembling with suppressed excite
ment. Foreman Crutcher of the jury
passed the written verdict up to the
clerk. Deputy Clerk Elliott read the
verdict. which found the defendant
guilty and affixed his punishment at
death.
Howard occupied seat by his at
torney. He did not display the least
agitation, and was apparently uncon-
cerned.
The verdict was surprise. as the
general public were led to believe
that the jury was divided on the
question of the guilt or innocence of
the defendant. 1t developed that the
delay in reaching a verdict was over
the degree of punishment, some of
the jurors favoring the life imprison-
ment. while others stood out for the
death penalty, and finally won their
associates over.
One of the jurors. after the jury
had been discharged. stated that a
number of ballots were taken, but
the first ballot resulted in a unan-
imous verdict of guilty. After that,
the ballots were as to the degree of
punishment, and on several ballots
ten members voted for the death pen
atty, while two voted for life impris-
onment. This was while the Jurors
were in the jury room Tuesday at
ternoon. The first ballot Wednes-
day resulted in a verdict. The two
jurors who had voted for life impris-
onment gave in to the majority and
voted for the death penalty.
After the verdict had been rendered
Howard was remanded to Jail, where
he was followed by his bosom friend.
John G. White, who seemd almost
paralyzed by the verdict. Towards
cheeks also blanched as he stood up
to accompany the jailer back to his
cell. The jury which tried the case
was divided politically. nine demo

LOCAL CHARITY.
Good Work Being Done by the
Home Charity Association.

The Home Charity Association,
which vas organized some time ago
by number of charitably-inclined
people, is getting along very we'll.
There is not a more worthy organi-
cation in our town and The Gazette
has crowned it's initial efforts in the
sacred work of charity.
The Home Charity Association
will enable every one to give his or
her share toward helping the needy.
There are many persons in all COM
munities who are anxious to render
assistance to their less fortunate
brothers and sisters, but who often
tions because the opportunity is
lacking. In other words, there is
no one to look after the work, to
see that contributions are judi
clously disposed of and that relief is
extended only to the deserving.
But the Home Association has done
away with this difficulty which no
doubt impeded the work of practical
charity. The association offers to
do the work of distributing the
generous contributions of the peo-
pie. A committee or board makes
all necessary Investigations and be-
fole giving anything, ascertains if
the applicant is deserving of help.
The association will thus enable
the community to do charity in an
organized and systematic manner.
We call the attention of the peo-
pie of the town to the ADVERTISE
ment of the association printed
elsewhere in this paper. 1t con-
tains information which will prove
valuable to these who desire to
avail themselves of the very prac-
teal arrangements of the associa-
ton.

DEMOCRACY
WINS IN A WALk-ELECTIO DAY
QUIET LAFAYETTE PARISH
GIVES THE USUAL DEMO-
CRATIC MAJORITY.

Election day has come around,
the people have voted and it is just
as we all expected. The Democrats
have carried the parish by a large
majority, Mr.. Heard receiving $50
votes more than Mr.. Caffery. Con-
sidering the smallness of the vote
polled the Democratic party has no
reason to complain of the size of
the majority. Had full vote been
polled the majority would have been
proportionately larger.
The election passed off very
quietly. Not a single disturbance
has been reported in the parish.
The present system of voting does
away with the wrangling which pre-
vailed at the polls under the old
election law. At the courthouse
not a voice was heard above the
ordinary conversational tone.
Every man walked up to the booth,
prepared and cast his ballot without
interference from any source.
This feature of the law, which pre-
serves the secrecy of the ballot,
could not very we'll be improved
upon. 1t effectually disposes of
the services of the professional
sheeler" who cannot protitably ply
his avocation under the prevailing
system.
Comparatively few ballots were
spoiled. With few exceptions the
tickets were voted straight.
AS is we'll known the parish ticket
had no opposition, but a fight was
made for the judicial Offices. The
friends of Col. Breaux and Mr..
Chargois, the Republican candi-
dates for judge and district attor-
ney, claimed the parish of Acadia
and seemed to be encouraged with
some hope Of success. But the re-
suits show that their claims of car
rying Acadia were not we'll founded.
That parish, under the able leader
ship of the Hon. P. S.. Pugh, has
rolled up handsome Democratic
majority. Acadia also had pri-
mary last December and on Tues
day it joined Lafayette in ratifying
the action of the primary.
In proportion to the number of
votes cast the second ward may be
said to be the banner Democratic
ward of Tuesdays election. One
hundred and fftv-one votes were
polled at that box and the Demo-
Gratis got a majority of 1o2. None
but straight tickets went as the Sec
ond warders made short and clean
job of it by hitting the rooster.
The second IS Sheriff Broussard's
home ward and that gentleman is
particularly proud of the splendid
account it has given of itself both
at the primary and on Tuesday.
Forty seven votes were cast in
the parish for the amendment au-
thorizing the city of New Orleans to
issue bonds to carry into effect GER
tain municipal Improvements. For
reasons best known to themselves
two sutfragans voted against the
amendment.
The vote in the parish is as fol-

MR.. CAFFERY.S DEFEAT

The Democratic majority is SC
big that the average Democrat ha.
no desire to crow over the victory
Mr. Caffery h@s been showed unde,
beyond the widest dreams of the
most sanguine Democratic enthusi.
asst. He has carried one parish
and that was done by the skin OF
his teeth. In some North Louis
lana parishes the young man did
not get a single vote. In Tensas
parish Mr.. Reems received one
vote while the Republican, fusion
candidate was not honored with a
solitary ballot. In the city of New
Orleans he received some 1000
while Mr.. Heard got over $1,000.
In Shreveport, the second largest
city IN Louisiana, there were five
men who wanted to see Mr.. Caffery
elected governor. Mr.. Heard's
plurality over Mr.. Caffery in the
State is 46,I23; his majority over
Caffery and Reems is 45,So4.
After all we have been told of the
of the present admin
istration and of the State Democ-
cracy this majority given to the
Democratic ticket is significant.
1t shows that some men know
very little about the sentiments of
the people of Louisiana. Judging
from the irresponsible utterances
of the fusion leaders one would
have been inclined to think that
the Democracy was on its last pegs
and that the voters were actually
breaking their necks running to the
support of the Caffery ticket. But
we have seen just the opposite.
Mr.. Caffery and his fusion1sts have
been turned down without mercy
by the electorate of the State.
Out of the debris of the storm
which has abruptly shattered his
political hopes and ambitions Mr..
Cafery must surely have heard the
decree that the white men of Louisi-
ana have spoken in no mistakable
tones. 1t is that Republ,canism can
no matter who stands sponsor for
it.

Commerce of Philippines.

The war department has published some
statistics of the Philippine commerce for
the quarter of last year ending September
30, which throws new light on the export
trade, so far as it relates to the United
States. 1t is shown that of the total
exports of raw sugar, amounting to ST.
143, $40, only $S5,002 went to the United
States, while Japan and Great Britain
took nearly all of the remainder. Also
as to leaf tobacco the exports to the
United States were trifing in amount,
Spain taking the largest part, 1894, SlS,
and England $3s,947. The United States
also took only $5032 of Manila cigars out
of total export of $24O,299 and none
of the other manufactures of tobacco came
to the United States. In fact, cigars and
cigarettes to the amount of $1,000 were
imported from the United States. Even
in Manila hemp the United States was
second, while Great Britain took s., l47,-
424. The total value of hemp exports was
$2,776,907 and the amount was l9,945
tons.
The imports of merchandise into the
islands were valued at $6,043,O77 and the
exports $4,Ss4,057. Silver coin to the
value of $5Ss,OOl was imported.
The total imports from Europe were
valued at s., 295, 500 and from North
America 1891 1875. The exports to Europe
were $2,40O,S96 and to North America ST.
036,59S. The total collection of import
duty was $l,O22,ls7 and of export duty
$l65,424.
