KNAPP FOUND GUILTY.
Ohio Jury seals Fate of Wife Mur-.
 derer.

Hamilton, Ohio, July 16 Alfred A. Knapp was convicted to-day of murder in the first degree for the killing of his wife, Hannah Goddard Knapp. The jury's verdict was reached at 7:30 a. rn., the jury having been out since o'clock last night, There was no recommenda- tion of mercy, and Knapp must be sen fenced to the electric chair The jury at first stood ten for conviction without mercy and two for conviction with mercy. Judge Belden was sent for when an agreement was reached and Knapp was brought into court. When the yer dict was read Knapp did not show any emotion or make any comment. He was taken back to jail at once.
 The case will be carried higher on the usual appeals, but 1t is generally be- |lieved that Knapp's sentence will be ex- |ecuted.
 The five cases to which Knapp con- fessed on February 26 to officials here are as follows:
 Emma Littlemann, killed in lumber yard at Cincinnati. June 21, 1894
 May Eckert, murdered in room on Walnut street, Cincinnati, August |, 1894.
 Jennie Knapp, thrown into canal at Liberty street, Cincinnati, August [. 1894 s3s #
 Ida Gebhard strangled at Indianapo- lis in July, 1895. Hannah Knapp, murdered at Hanlil- ton. December 22, 1902
 Regarding the killing of his wife Hannah, for whose murder he has been convicted, Knapp said that when he awoke on the morning of the crime he was seized with an impulse to strangle his wife. After accomplishing her death he hauled the body in a box two miles from here and threw it into the Miami river at Lindenwald. The body was found on March in the river at New Albany.
 Knapp has spent two-thirds of his life in prison, but for the five murders to which he confessed he had gone unsus- pected until few unguarded words set the law officers upon him. For years he had been strangler, he admitted, bouncing upon innocent children and choking them to death. Insanity was the only defense made by his relatives and attorneys. All of his victims were fstrangled.

POPE CONTINUES TO SINK.
lcontinued From First Page.l

(continued from First Page.) Leo. the cardinal replied through the following letter from the secretaryship of state of his holiness:
 Dear sir:
 .sThe communication forwarded by you has been most gratifying to the car .dinal secretary of state. My master. his eminence, hopes that the holy fathers health will allow him when the oppor- tune moment comes to inform his holi- ness of the contents of the telegram.
 The very great desire always felt by his holiness for the reunion of the dissi- dent churches will certainly render this demonstration of the interest Of the American Protestant churches most ac- Eceptable.
 With true sentiment of esteem, re- main your devoted servant.
 'Giacomo Della Chiesa,
 Substitute Secretary of State.
 Rome, July 16.''
 The pope was much pleased when car dinal Rampolla informed him of the universal manifestation of sympathy towards his holiness, coming from all, even from non-Catholics.
 The tenacity of Pope Leo is most ad- nlirable. not only in his organism, but even in his feeling. The best example thereof is perhaps the continual proofs Of confidence that his holiness bestows on Cardinal Rampolla, who after faith fully serving the pope for sixteen years, is now being made the object Of most bitter attack, especially during the last period, because of the Franco-Phile at titude of the papaey. The pontiff seems to have had an intuition that while he lies with one foot in the grave Cardinal Rampolla's adversaries are beginning to take advantage of his tottering power to pull down the idol which until yester- day they worshipped, so his holiness leaves nothing unattempted to show the world up to the last moment how much he trusts his secretary of state. No one was admitted to the sick room to-day excep. the cardinal secretary of state who was only allowed in on the repeat ed request of Pope Leo. who said to him lthat he desired to confirm and extend the power of his ensnence already ex- ercises because O. his position and au- thorized him to take measures which in lordinary times would necessitate the di- rect intervention of the pontiff "in rec iognition of his personal devotion to the pontiff and the services he had render ed to the church"

 "Why, boy, you are drunk or turned

 own cows yonder. Your eyes and ears
 must be fog-stuffed. Don't you hear your masters milk horn" %'y The true inwardness of the case was this. The negroes had lost their way in the fog and got turned around. So af- ter rowing all night in the sound had landed a short distance from where they had started. From that time
 'Larky'' was known as the Long Is- land Moses, or Moses II, for he always
 claimed 1t was miracle that he was 8 second Moses; both Moses and himself started for the promised land, which neither reached, but both were allowed to view it, Moses from Mount Pisgah, and Larky from the "Pisgah'' of Solita- " Cove.

terprising Eastern horseman who is

for it. 1t is known as the Crescent City
Jockey Club. All that is necessary to
secure the hidden wealth are good fast
thoroughbreds. The lack of good quail
ity among the thoroughbreds this win
ter became so apparent this week that
several clever trainers started hot foot
for New York to buy up some fresh
horses and slip them South. A long
siege of training and racing this sum-
mer sapped the vitality and fieetness
of foot of the Western horses, and they
are so leg-weary that many of them
are not within seconds OF their best
speed The field is. therefore, practi-
caIly open 70 any man who is willing
to bring down fresh horses.
From present indications John w.
Schorr. the wealthy Memphis brewer,
and Sam Hildreth, the debarred trainer
from the Western tracks, will cut up
the richest plums between them. These
two men have some fresh horses in
their stables which they have saved for
this meeting. With this material they
have won race after race and stSad at

at the present time is DOC" Street,
