lynch's Sentence
He Was Yesterday Given the Death
Sentence Mt Lon
don.
FOUND GUILTY OF TREASON

London, Jan. 24-Col. Arthur
Lynch was found guilty Of treason
and sentenced to death.
When the trial of Col Lynch, who
is a member OF parliament for Gal
way, on the charge of high treason
was resumed yesterday counsel for the
defense began summing up. There
was no attempt to deny that Col.
Lynch supported the Beers, bat coun-
sci contended that his naturalization
was in no way prompted by treason
able intent, and was solely for the adj
vantage he would thus secure for jour-
nalistic purposes. Subsequently the
defendant actively supported the Boer
cause in the belief that he was a le-
galIy naturalized burgher.
The lord chief justice summed up
very briefly. He said that il in war
time a British subject Joined the
kings enemies, whatever his purpose,
he was guilty of an unlawful act
Naturalization during war time afford
ed no excuse whatever for subsequent
acts. There was abundant evidence,
he said, OF overt acts in aiding the
kings enemies.
The jury, after having been out half
an hour, returned a verdict OF guilty.
When asked il he had anything to
say as to why he should not be SEN
fenced to death Col. Lynch replied:
"Thank you. Twill say nothing"
The sentence of death was passed on
each Of the four counts in the indiot
ment.
The prisoner then bowed to the
court and was removed in custody.
Although formally sentenced to be
hanged, Lynoh's sentence will no
doubt be committed.

COAL TO Be REDUCED
One Dealer to Cut the Price One
Cent,
1t Is Expected That Other Dealers
will Make a Reduction.

On Monday the pablo is promised q
decrease in the price of both egg and
lump coal, the decrease being made by
the st. Bernard Coal company.
Coal r:s been selling at IA cents per
brshel 70 e-2frd 10 cents per bushel
for lump, the advance being made by
the niue operators who raised the
price to the coal dealers. At that time
the coal dealers explained the natter,
laying the raise wholly at the door of
the mine operators which made the
dealers raise the price.
The ST. Bernard company now al
nounces that it will make decrease
OF cent on the bpshel ard it is ex-
peoted that the other companies will
follow the example although nothing
denfire has been given relative to this
point.
ore prominent coal dealer said this
morning in regard to the cut:
"The advance nede in the price of
coal several weeks ago was not done
by the dealers here but by TIE opera
tors who mine the coal. They adj
vauced TIE price to us aud we in turn
were forced to advance the price to
the public. We will have to cohfer
with the operators before we can state
any thing definite about the decrease
whether we will make any or not. "
Coal has been high this winter ard
the decrease will be received with
much appreciation by the public.
There are many dealers in the city and
Will have to confer with the operate S
before they can state positively wheth-
err not they will follow the example
of the st. Bernard company. !
Barry and Henneberger announce a
reduction, also, this afternoon, effect
i've Monday. Others will doubtless
follow.

tended 20 be a lawyer from Washing

lie has q mania for getting blank
checks and filling them out with
large amounts Of money, signing iio-
titious names to them. He Is not
known ever TO have secured any mon
ey on them, it seemingly being his
object TO show them around and make
a display. When he was arrested here
several years ago he had = valise full

some filled out, on many banks
throughout the country, and when ar
rested yesterday he also had large
