Convicted of the Murder of Six Mem
bers of the Earl Family.

LAKE CHARLES. La, April 21.-The
jury in the case of EDWARD Batson. charged
with the murder of the Earl family, six in
number. has rendered a verdict of murder
in the first degree. The penalty is death.
The verdict was reached yesterday, but
Judge Miller declined to receive it until to-
day. The delay in reaching it resulted from
the desire OF two of the jurors to qualify
their finding so as 10 send Batson to the
penitentiary for life rather than TO the
scaffOld. They finally yielded to the ma
jority.
Batson's eyes were filled with tears when
the jurors were poled but he quickly re-
gained his Composure. His mother, Mrs

RECEIVED AS SUGGESTIONS.
These expressions were received by Chair
man Goodrich in the form of suggestions
from the various members of the party
present and will be reshaped by the COM
mittee which will meet at 10 O'Clock this
morning in the office of Chairman Harris.
Seine discussion arose during the confer
ence as TO whether national issues, par
ticularly questions now occupying the at
tention of Congress. should he touched upon
in the platform. One of the suggestions
made was that the platform should express
approval of Judge Crumpacker's resolution
TO appoint a committee of inquiry 10 con-
slider reducing congressional representation
IN Southern States where negroes have been
disfranchised. Representative Hemenway,
who spoke at some length, said he believed
IL would be the part of wisdom to leave
any expression on the resolution out OF the
platform since the attitude of all the Re
not been clearly defined. Mr.. Crumpacker
himself. while not favoring positively a
definite plank expressing approval OF the
resolution, gave ii as his view that conNen-
tons should whenever possible express the
sentiment of the people on all great ques-
tions. He thought that the Republican
party is always strongest when assuming
stand upon question of principle without
looking into it first TO see if ii will be popu-
lar. The question may be considered by the
platform committee this morning.
II was also suggested in view OF the TACT
that the present law providing for the en-
ployment of convict labor expires I'm 1904
that the platform contain some expression
as to the legislation upon that important
topic. Governor Durbin was asked by the
chairman 10 say something along that line,
and he remarked that while he had not
sufficient opportunity to investigate the
matter thoroughly he had considered call
ing together labor leaders of prominence
throughout the State, with a view of OBJ
tanning from them their ideas on the SUBJ
iect. He had also considered he said. the
feasibility of bringing together. without re-
gard to political consideration. num-

EXPLANATORY LETTER.

Attorney Newton Says He Had No
 Trouble With Mrs NJ. D. W. Smith.
 Bridgeport, May 30.-In view of the many rumors which have been cur rent of late regarding the relations be- tween Mrs Mary E. Wright Smith and her attorney. Henry c. Newton, of New Haven, the latter has addressed an explanatory letter to q New Haven newspaper. The rumor started Friday last when Attorney O'Neill said to Mrs Smith that she suspected the reason why Attorney Newton was not present was because his bill had not been paid. Later a story came out of Waterbury which stated definitely that Attorney Newton had withdrawn from the O'Neill-Smith case because his bill had not been paid.
 Attorney Newton states that he has not presented bill to Mrs Smith. He says the reason that he did not attend in this city last week was because Judge Nobbs had told her just what he would do if she did not do certain things which Attorney Newton did not think it best for her to do. and that nothing was to be gained by his >ap- bearing. He added that Judge Robin son did not render judgment against Mrs Smith for $7,500, but refused to open a judgment by default for that amount. There is no difficulty. the at- torney says, between himself and Mrs Smith.

Return of Troops Reduces the Army
 There to 2S,0OO Men.
 WASHINGTON, May 30.--It is said at the war department that the de- parture of the Hancock and Sherman from Manila with the Ninth and Nine teenth regiments of infantry reduces the army in the Philippines to less than 2S,000 men and that within the next few months the strength of the effec- tive military force in the archipelago will be still further reduced to less than 25,000 by the withdrawal of the Thirteenth, Sixteenth, Twentyfcurth and Twenty-fifth regiments of infantry and part of the Third regiment of cav airy under orders to return to the United States.
 Special interest attaches to the return home of the Fighting Ninth" because of the fine achievements of that regi- ment in China and the Philippines, in both of which countries it saw the hot test kind of active service on the firing line.

New Haven Reform Association Will
 Try and Defeat Constitution.
 New Haven, May 30.-The Constitu- tional Reform association will make a talking campaign against the adoption of the proposed constitution. Colonel N G. Osborn is prepared to make rags and tatters of the document from the platform in this city, and wherever else in the state his services are demanded. This means that he will speak several times before June Is.
 An effort will be made to get out the anti-yote. It will not be the fault of the Constitutional Reform associa- tion if the proposed constitution is rati fed
 A campaign of this kind would not be complete without resolutions, and those will be written by Colonel N. G.. Osborn and will probably be given to the world inside of a week Their form is in the future, but they will ban the work of the convention, of which Colonel Osborn was a member. with no uncertain ban.
 All of those matters were decided upon at 8 meeting of the executive committee of the association, which was held in the office of James E. Wheeler yesterday afternoon. Those present were Melbert B. Cary, chair man of the committee, former Mayor F. B. Farnsworth, A. McMathewson. James E. Wheeler and Colonel N. G. Osborn.
 All of these have been consistent ad- vocates of constitutional reform. Chair man Cary has written a book upon the subject. MT Farnsworth is the author of the resolutions passed by the repub- llcan town and city conventions a few weeks ago, which provide that num- Der of delegates proportional to the population of New Haven shall be sent to the next state convention MT Wheeler said last night: ssFour 1 members of the committee were pres ent at the committee meeting. Com munications were received from two others. The organization is informal so that there is no question of major ities. Colonel Osborn was appointed to draft resolutions. They will declare against the constitution The idea of addressing the voters from the plat form was talked over. Colonel Osborn probably will be asked to be one of the I speakers. Other gentlemen may be called to the work
 | Colonel Osborn said: Ut is true that have been asked to prepare resolu. tions, and it is true that | am willing to talk against the acceptance of the constitution wherever I am wanted Something vii be done to get out the vote.''

CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE WIRE.
Panic Caused By Fire ill the Smoking

Chicago, May 3O.-Nearly 100 pas sengers on d Northwestern elevated train were thrown into a panic last night when defective electric wiring set fire to the smoking car. Everybody in the train was thrown from his seat, and the occupants of the smoker rush. ed for the rear door. It was with the greatest difficulty that some were restrained from leaping from the struc- ture to the ground.
 That no one was injured is due, in great measure to the coolness of I. J. Lampher, the motorman. As soon as the accident occurred Lampher shut down the power, and leaping out on the structure, ran to the rear of the smoker and actually had to beat two men down off the rail of the platform before he could persuade them not to jump. By this time the whole front end of train was in flames and an alarm was turned in.
 The blaze was quickly extinguished by chemical engine.

 Town Trustee Cuts Electric Light Pole
 While Wire Was Being Strung.
 Southampton, L. l., May BOA new ly organized electric light company is building lines in this village. The wires were put under ground in front of the homes of the members of it's board of directors and poles planted in front of the homes of other people, There are already three sets of poles in the village streets and some of the street corners look like d patch of woodland with the limbs trimmed off the trees
 The gang of men putting up the poles began to dig a hole ill Meeting House lane yesterday, ill front of the property of Samuel Berry, a member of the town board of trustees. MT Berry got a spade, filled in the hole and sat down on the mound of earth The workmen then dug another hole and Mir Berry being unable to sit on all of the roadway in front of his house, pole was put up.
 He waited until the job was com pleted and then got an axe The foreman of the telegraph gang took the CAQ Ol d W lIc stHu CIluDou to IQ0 IOp of the pole to make it fast
 If you don't come down you will be hurt" shouted MT Berry, hacking at the pole. The foreman came down and none too soon for as he left the pole it fell over. A second pole was cut down and MT Berry declares he will cut down all the poles the com pany puts up in front of his place. His action has aroused other trustees and the new lines are in danger of being wiped out
