6erstorm will come to-day or tonight to
cool the atmosphere. Otherwise the tenn
perature will remain between 50 and 80 de-
grees. between which points the mercury
mas been wavering for a week.
The weather forecaster is of tho opinion
that the long-expected shower will soon be-
come reality. instead Of q rumor. An

been rusticating in Arizona and Southwest

REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. June 1.-THE Kennedy jury Is
celebrating upon its verdict. Judge New
berger finished his charge to the jury at
l2:so o'clock. He had spoken for nearly two
hours. He departed from custom 50 far as
to read his charge to the jury.
All that remained when court opened to-
day was for Judge Newberger to charge the
jury and listen to the few formal protests
of counsel for Kennedy. Judge Newberger
lost no time. but began his address to the
jury as soon as court was opened.
The case" he said. "is important not
only so far as this defendant is concerned.
but It is OF vast Importance also that the
laws OF this State be enforced and that the
guilty person shall be punished. All the
facts necessary to enable you to determine
this question have been presented to you
This case is to be determined upon the
legal evidence without the Jurors permitting
themselves to be Influenced by outside mat
ters."
The Court then defined the different de-
grees Of homicide and manslaughter,
The existence Of deliberation." said the
Judge docs not require the lapse of an ap-
preciable time. The question for you to de-
termine is. Did the defendant deliberate and
premeditate upon It? If he deliberated for
but a moment and followed that up with the
fatal act. he is guilty Of murder in the first
degree.
He claims" said Judge NewburEer. ''that
at the time he was under the influence OF
drugs: that he used drugs to such an extent
as to impair his reason on the night in
question. II the defendant committed the
crime while stupeied. the fact in no way
excuses him.
mo act committed by a person In q state
Of voluntary intoxication shall be deemed
less criminal for that reason"
Explaining the law as to crimes COM
mitted while under the influence Of drugs
or intoxication. Judge Newburger said:
IF you find the defendant committed the
crime while under the influence of drugs to
such an extent as to impair his power Of
premeditation. you may ind him guilty Of
murder In the second degree"
Judge Newburser finished his charge At
12:ls O'Clock and the Jury retired.

FEARS FOR MISS STONE.


St. Petersburg, Oct. 3O.-The Rus
sian foreign Office is still co-operat-
ing heartily with the United States
officials in the efforts to obtain the
release of Miss Stone, the American
missionary, and her companion, Nine.
Tsilka, who were captured by brig
ands September 8. H. Bakhmetieff,
the Russian representative at Sofia,
who is married to an American, is
displaying much energy in co-operat-
ing with United States Consul Cen
eral Dickinson, of Constantinople.
In government circles at Sofia the
impression appears to be that Miss
Stone is dead. Mr.. Dickinson is try
ing to learn definitely whether she is
alive or not.
Spencer Eddy, secretary Of the
United States legation at Constanti-
nople, and W. W. Peet, treasurer Of
the American mission at Constants
nople, had long conference on the
subject of Miss Stone yesterday. The
information from the missionaries
who are near the brigands' retreat
is far from satisfactory.
United States Consul General Dick
inson has left Sofia for SamakOv in
order to be able to superintend more
closely the measures being taken for
the release of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone
and her companion, Nine. Tsilka.
Communication Had with Miss Stone.
Washington, Oct. 3O.-rhe state de-
partment has been advised by it's
agents in Constantinople and Sofia
that communication has been estab-
lished With Miss Stone. No details
are furnished.

GEN. GREELY'S REPORT.
The Chief elgnal Officer Tells About the
Work OF His Corps for the
Past Year.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Gen. Greedy,
chief signal officer, in his annual re-
port, says: "The operations of the
signal corps have been co-existent
with the operations of the army of
the United States, not theoretically,
but on broad lines and activities
which have comprised practically the
entire area, not only of the United
States proper, but also of Alaska,
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and
portion of China. There has been
constructed 1886 miles of telegraph
line in Alaska and arrangements have
been made with the Canadian govern
ment to use its lines to Alaska. The
signal corps operates 3,34S miles of
telegraph in Cuba, an increase of 1852
miles during the year. The operations
of the corps in the Philippines have
been very extensive, there having
been erected 1851 miles of telegraph
line, an increase of 1854 during the
year.
Gen. Greedy, in recommending Pa
cific cable, says: IAN eastern trans
pacific cable is military and com
mercial necessity If American inter-
ests are to be safeguarded in Asiatic
regions. Such a cable, while of great
value militarily, will especially fur
ther industrial interests and facili-
tate commercial operations"

NO SOCIAL EQUALITY.
Gov. Aycock Tells Negroes That the Law
which Separates whites and Blacks
Il inexOrable.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 3O.-Gov. Aycock
yesterday opened the negro state
fair in an address in which he urged
the negroes to build up society
among themselves, founded on cul-
ture, intelligence and virtue. In the
course of the address he referred to
President Roosevelt dining Booker I.
Washington and said to the negroes
that their best friends lived in the
south. He told them they did not
need recognition by the president, as
It would avail nothing in the south.
He said: "rhe law which separates
you from the white people in the
state socially has been and always
will be memorable, and it need not
concern you or me whether the law
is violated elsewhere, it never will be
violated in the south. Its violation
would be to your destruction as well
as to the injury Of the whites He
pledged the best efforts of the whites
to aid the negro, but told them that
social equality was an idle dream.
In reply DIR. c. H. King, a promi-
nent negro minister Of the Methodist
church, said the negroes did not want
social equality, that neither he nor
his people wanted to sit down at the
dinner table of the whites, and that
they were not in sympathy with any
such idea,

Charlotte, N. G., Oct. 30.-One hum
dred and ten Of the ring horses OF

crushed to death in railroad wreck
near Lexington at three o'clock yes

favorite saddle horse. "Old Eagle"
the star ring horse, was killed and
his mangled body fell on top of one
Of the wrecked engines. The mules
that drew the Deadwood coach also
were killed. From the mass OF wreck
age blood poured in a stream that
ran alongside the railroad track in a
small riyulet. Only two or three
horses escaped death.
The accident was the result OF a
soullbound freight train and the Sec
ond section of the show train and
was due to a misunderstanding of or
ders. Several train hands were in
iured, but no one was killed.
Col. Cody spent yesterday at the
scene of the wreck and is heart
broken over the slaughter. He says
his loss is 100000. The train was
en- route to Danville, where the show
was to have disbanded and the ami
mails sent to Bridgeport, Conn.,, to 60
into winter quarters.

paugh and Sells circus was wrecked
yesterday near Baton Rouge. -Four

section of the circus train running
into the rear end of a freight train.

BIG INSURANCE POLICY.


St. Paul, MIMI, Oct. 3O.-The North
ern Pacific yesterday received from
the railway underwriters one OF the
largest insurance policies ever writ
ten in the United States. Its total
was $13,4OO,OO0, 1t is the largest
single policy the company ever gave
In addition to the above the com
pany has also insured, out of its own
fund, large amount OF property,
the total being about $6,6OO,OOO, max
ine a total insurance just provided OF
$20,OOO,OOO. The insurance covers all
property which Is destroyable by fire
and includes rolling stock, merchan-
disc in transit, warehouses, depot
buildings, shops, roundhouses, etc.
Insurance on railroad property Is con-
sidered good risk, consequently the
amount paid in premiums was com
paratively low.
The Northern Pacifc's insurance
fund at the close of the last fiscal
wear, June 30, 1901, was $57s,326, an
increase over the preceding year OF
S52,39l.
