Millionaire Murdered.
Orlando p. Dexter of Norwalk,
Conn.,, reputej to be millionaire,
who owned a summer cottage and
park in the town of Waverly, was
assassinated Sept. 16 on the highway
about halt mile from his house.

bullet hole near the heart.
No DiscrimiD alton.
The proprietors of thirty five of the
chief marble works in the United
States, including practically the whole
of the industry outside of Vermont,
closed their shops Tuesday and an
nounced that they would resume work
Thursday in open shops. If the union
men desire to work in these shops
hereafter they must work alongside
and on equal terms with non union
men. Notice of the closing of the
shops was issued by the executive
committee of the National Association
of Marble dealers, through which body
the employers have thrown down the
gauntlet to the international Associa-
ton of Marble workers. The cause of
the move, members of the executive
committee say, is the action of the
unions in repudiating an agreement
made with the dealers association.
Jet Convicted.
After trial lasting eight days the
jury in the case of Curtis Jett,
charged with the murder of Town
Marshall Thomas Cockrell at Jackson,
KY, July 81, 1902, rendered verdict
of guilty on Monday and fixed the
punishment at death. Jett's mother
had gone away under the impression
that no verdict would be reached.
The reading of the verdict did not
affect Jett, but his brother was very
much distressed. After Clerk T. j.
Robinson had read the death sentence
Jett was given over to the custody of
deputy sheriffs. Col. Blanton, Jett's
lawyer, will file motion for a new
trial, and if the motion is overruled
he will appeal. This was the second
trial of Jett on the charge of murder
In the first trial, which was for the
murder of ]. B. Marcum, Jett and
Thomas White were sentenced to life
imprisonment.
Stop Lynching.
The charge of Chief Justice Lore Of
the supreme court of Delaware to the
grand jury at the fall opening of the
court was principally made up of 6
ringing declaration against lynching
The aged chief justice, who has pre-.
viously in speeches placed himself or
the jury the we'll known facts as tt
the outraging and killing of Helen S
Bishop and the arrest and locking uI
of George White, her negro assailant
in the county workhouse. He thel
reviewed at length the gathering o
the mob, the attack upon the work
house and the seizure and burning a
the stake of White after the Negro
| had confessed to the brutal crime
Continuing the chief justice said il
, part: The crime of George Whit
and his punishment are not before US
Upon his BODY human vengeance ha
r done it's work. But for the first tim
7 the lawless and revolving crime O
lynchiDg has invaded this state. Sha
we invite it's visitation in the futur
a by acquiescence in its preparation
u or make such crime hereafter improb
f able, if not impossible, by dealing on
: adequate punishment? No good Cit
Q zen, we are persuaded, can regard th
o lynching of George White in any othe
:, light than as brutal crime and as
u fragrant violation of the law.
