Durham, Aug. 3O.-Aftcr fail
ing in an attempt to Kill his wife,
w. Il. CauseY, 4 white man scme
40 or IS years Of ape, ended bis
life last night by sendlng a 3S-
calibre pistol ball through his
brain. The suicide occurred at the
homo of Causcy in the western
part of the city. The man killed
himself about o'clock in the
evening but it was . o'clock be,
fore it became known.
Casey vas drinking yesterday
afternoon and early in the evening
went to his home. His wife went
with him to his room. Closing the
door and taking a pistol
in one hand and huge
knife in the other he quietly
told her that he had long waited
for such an hour, when they could
be alone, and then told her that
she had to die, asking which she
had rather he would use, the piss
tol or knife. She pleaded with him
but he told her that it WAS no use
and started to execute bis threat.
The frightened woman then. asked
him for time in which to write
farewell note to her mother and
this he refused. She then asked
that she be allowed TO read few
passages from the Bible and this
he agreed to. She was fighting for
time and waiting for an opportunj-
ty when she could escape him. He
turned to pick up the Bible and as
he did so she jumped from the
window, falling heavily to the
ground. She quickly gathered her
self together and ran to the home
home of Il ncighbor.
As soon as the cnragcd man
found that his wife bad escaped
him he went to the rear door and
asked the cook where his wife had
gone. She replied that she did not
know. He then went back to the
room and pistol shot was heard.
1t was thought that he had fired to
scare bis wife and when there was
no noise the neighbors thought
that be had lain down. Officers
were sent for and just before
O'Clock the loom was entered. He
lay dead across the bed.

Georgetown, KY, Aug %. =
The third trial of ex>Sec cretary of
State Caleb Powers for completely
in the murder of Gov. William
Goeoel, in January, 1900, closed
shortly before noon today with a
verdict, imposing the extreme
penalty of hanging for the distin-
guished prisoner who had been in
the penitentiary for three years
on life sentence. The verdict of
the jury: "Guilty and the pun
ishment of death,' was reported
into court at 11.2O today. Sew
eral hundred people crowded the
court room when the verdict was
read and the most intense silence
prevailed. The jury was polled
and each man declared the verdict
OF gulltyto be his finding. Pow
ers sat unmoved while his attor-
neys asked for time to make a
motion for new trial.
Arthur Goebel, the brother of
the victim and prominent mer-
chant at Cincinnati, who has spent
his time and fortune for over
three years in the prosecution of
those accused of being in con.
spiracy t. kill his brother, broke
down from the strain upon hearing
the verdict.
Powors has been convicted
twice before, this being the third
trial in which the jury brought in
a verdict of guilty against him.
On his previous trials he ESCAPED
with alife sentence, as tho eyid-
ence was mot sufficiently strong
against him to lead the jury to
inflicting the extreme penalty.
All three of the trials were held
at Georgetown and in each of
them be had the assistance of the
most able lawyers who could be
procured.
Ihe last trial was distinguished
by the fact that Powers addressed
the jury in his own behalf and in
a long review of the case showed
himself to be a competent uttor-
ney, while his eloquence in plead
ing for his life astonished those
who had watched him carefully in
the past trials of the case.
Special Judge Robbins this af-
ternoon formally overruled a mo.
ton for the granting of now
trial to Powers. He then passed
the sentence of death upon him.

WAR IN THE BALKANS LIKELY
TO BE AVERTED UNTIL NET
SPRING AT LEAST.
FRENCH OFFICIAL ADWCES so INDICATE
BULGARIA TO COMPLETE PREP.
ARATIoNS WHILE REBELS
HARRAss TURKS.

I Paris, Oct 2.-Official advices from
the Balkans show two distinct signs
that war will be averted at least until
spring. First, the Bulgarian revolu.
tionary committee, through General
Serafoff, has made overtures to the
Bulgarian government and unless hos
tilitfes are actually undertaken within
the next fortnight all preparations will
be suspended until spring. The pur.
pose of this, it is understood here,
will be to permit the decimating of the
Turkish forces through the winter
and the completion of the preparations
for a decisive move early in the
spring.
Second, M. Natchevics, Bulgaria s
envoy at Constantinople, has agreed
to take up the negotiations. He at
first refused to act ON the ground that
Turkey gave no assurances OF a ae-
sire for all adjustment His present
decision is considered to indicate that
Turkey has given adequate assul-
anCeS.
One CT the chief features M. Nat
chevics will insist on during the ne
gOtiations is that Bulgaria shall have
majority of the members and the
presidency of the mixed commissi. L
having charge of the pacific adjust
ment of the Macedonian questions.

were spent in exceeding quiet, with
the strictest attention to the spiritual
interests which were their sole con-
Germ.
Father Belanger's advice, until the
grating of the big steel doors which
separated them from the corridor was
heard. Then as Willis was led from
his cell he was allowed to step over
to the cells of Burton and Fred and,
through the openings between the
neavy bars of the cages in which they
were. confined, pressed his face and
n turn kissed those Of his two broth
ers, at the same time shaking hands
and saying as he turned away: BE
brave, boys"
AS soon as Willis had passed out
into the corridor leading to the death
chamber Father Charbonneau imme-
liately began to read the prayers Of
consolation. to which brief responses
were necessary, thus occupying their
minds in the minutes of suspense.
When it came Frederick's turn to
60 as he left his cell he stepped back
a few PAGES to the front of Burtons
cage and, grasping his brothers hands
in both of his, kissed him repeatedly
until the guard quietly urged him
away.
Burton's departure for the death
house made the most pathetic see /,
of ALL Besides the aged priest there
was but one other person in the world
to whom he might say goodbye. That
was Allen Mooney, the last occupant
of the death cells AS Burton stepped
from his cell he looked back toward
MONEYS cell, which was out of his
view because of a great iron screen
built for that purpose and called:
Goodbye, Mooney, l hope you won't
have to go like this" and then he
marched to the death chair.

care of their priest and danked on
either side by prison deputies with
calm demeanor but extreme pallor.
Father BeIanger, picturesque
white haired figure, not in the robes
of his Office, but in the every day
black frock coat of clerical cut, with a
little purple stole about the shoulders,
walked along with each of the con-
demned men in turn, saying words of
consolation.
Willis Van Wormer entered the
death chamber at 11:34:3O, the cur"
rent was turned into his body one
minute later and at 1887 he was de-
clared dead.
At 11:41:3O Frederick entered the
death chamber; at Hap the current
was turned on and he was declared
dead at 1880.
Burton entered the death chamber
at 11:47, the current was turned on
at 11:47:30 and he was declared dead
at 11:48:3O.
Precautions to Deaden Sound.
During the first execution Father
Charbonneau remained in the corridor
between the death cells, reading
prayers and invocations to the re-
manning Van Wormers. Every precau-
tion had been taken to prevent the
remaining men from hearing more
than the departure of their brother
from the room. The doors had been
padded and the interstices stuffed
with cotton so that the steps of those
who removed the lifeless body from
the death chamber to the morgue
could not be heard.
Three applications of the current
and four minutes time were required
for ths execution of Willis, but only
two applications Of the full current
were deemed necessary in the case of
Frederick and two minutes from the
time he crossed the threshold of the
room the doctors pronounced him
dead The bodies were carried out
into the prison morgue and the sum-
mons for the last brother was taken

Burton Van Wormer was brought
into the presence Of death he was
Charbonneau having no further need
to remain in the cell room.
Either Burton was taller than his
brothers. or sat up straighter in the
chair, for the strap which is intend
ed to cover the eyes did not reach
high enough to blindfold him and as
the current was switched on he was
still looking over the upper edge Of
the strap toward the priest He was
killed even more quickly than the
other two. The current was turned on
at 11.:47:30. Only one application
was required, although it was retained
slightly longer at full pressure than

The general opinion in Rome is
that Mgr Guidrs mission has failed,
principally because he would not ac-
cept the price offered for the friars'
lands by the American government,
owing to the claims of the religious
orders interested that they are en-
titled to a larger sum.
