POLITICAL
NOTES.

Councilman Morris has the idea
that he would like to be called Chi ef

even now addressing him by that
title. In all probability the new
Chief will be named on Tuesday
night.
Samuel McDaniel's candidate for
Trustee ot the Poor in John W.
Lawson's placed was bowled out
and Winfield S. Quigley scandldate
appointed.
The Republican politicians were
out in force at the rooms Of the
Young Mems Republican Club on
Saturday evening.
Horace G. Knowles will be can
didate for Congress- at the next Re-
publicanConvention. He was prac.
tically the nominee of the last eau
Gus.
Emmet f. Stidham intends to
make another try for the nomination
for sheriff of New Castle county on
the Republican ticket. He has met
with financial reverses OF late and
is deserving Of the support OF every
Republican.
George Washington Jackson may
possibly be candidate tor coroner.
James T. Chandler, deputy coro.
ner, will be candidate for coroner
al the coming election. lie is thor
oughly conversant with the duties
OF the office and would have no trou-
BILE in going right ahead with the
duties if elected.
The Star says Andrew c. Gray
and uot DAWN j. ltelnhardt is City
Solicitor.
DR.. Henry would make a good
chairman OF the Trustees of the
Poor.
Frank Ball and !. d. Foster Of
New Castle, appear to have the 10
side track Tor the superintendent
OF the Almshouse. There are aev.
cral other applicants.
Ex-sheritf John Taylor is not af.
ter any position. He is taking lite
easy at the present time residing
with his family in New Castle.
There is no reason tor an extra
session ol the Legislature 10 be
called unless two u. S. senators
could be elected. At The last ses-
sion they could not agree and will
not even now.

PRATT
CONDEMNED.
Will Swing For 1.-THE MUIR.
der of His Wife at
West Chester.

West Chester, Pa, Feb. 10
"Guilty OF murder in the first de-
gree" This verdict, rendered by
the jury this morning, sealed the
fate OF William Fl. Pratt, wife
murderer.
"It's all up with me-" was the
weary comment of the condemned
man as the handouts were being
fastened upon his wrists. He
seemed dazed as he listened to
tho announcement of the verdict,
the polling Of the jury and the
motion by counsel for Il new trial.
Judge Butler directed that the
motion be entered and reasons
for Il new trial filed.
AT no time since Pratt's wife
was found in their home, dead by
violence, has the accused husband
given up hope that he might be
acquitted. Every c;ort has been
made to show that the knife and
pistol wounds which caused the
woman's death were self-inhicted
but the jury believed that the
bullet was fired by Pratt, and that
his hand held the knife, and that
he was driven to put hi, wife out
of the way because of his love
for another woman.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the
prisoner was brought into the
Court room by Sheriff Turner and
Deputy Sheriff. Garrett and Martin
He appeared remarkably calm
self-possessed, and as he sat
down his senior counsel, W. M.
Hayes, stepped up to him and
whispered words of hope i'll his
ear.
A few minutes later Judges
Butler and HemphiIl walked slow
" down the aislcs and took their
seats on the bench. The jury
was then brought i'll and seated in
the chairs occupied by them dur
ing the two long weeks Of the
trial. Each ones countenance bore
n look of grave responsibility. 1t
was quickly noted by the specta-
tors that none of them looked to-
ward the prisoner.
"Send to tie Law Library for
District Attorney Baldwin and Mr.
Reid" directed Judge Butler, and
soon these lawyers appeared.
"There must not be any kind OF
demonstration, no matter what
the verdict may be-" cautioned
Judge Butler, addressing the
audience, and in the next breath he
directed Clerk of the Courts North
to take the verdict
"Gcntlcmen of the jury, have
YOU agreed upon verdict? asked
the Clerk of the Courts.
1--WE have." was the low toned
response of Foreman William II.
Weaver.
"How say you in the issue
joined between the Commonwealth
OF Pennsylvania and William ii.
Pratt, the prisoner at the bar.
DO you find him guilty in manner
and form as he stands indicted
OF not guilty." commanded the
Clerk.
"Guilty Of murder i'll the first
degree" came the reply in tones
sufficiently strong to be heard
throughout the big Court room.
