next five years was spent in Liverpool:

follows Of the events succeeding their
arrival at Plymouth:
We arrived at Plymouth at about six

and four o'clock. and was surprised to
notice that his position was unchanged

before. | went to his bedside, placed my
hand upon his forehead and temple, and
found that he was dead He evidently
had passed from natural sleep to that
sleep from which there IS no waking

stood with uncovered heads while the

Longfellow went home to his study

and could with difficulty induce him to
believe that II was possible for him to
write a book Of anv kind that would

was then in manuscript form, Hawthorne
said nothing about ii until Fields was

Trinidad. Col, Oct. pa terrific
explosion occurred at Mine No. 3, Of
the Rocky Mountain Fuel & Iron COM
pany, at Ieroio, 40 miles due west Of
Trinidad, Friday afternoon, and the
number Of dead is variously placed
between 30 and 60 men. The number
reported as having gone into the mine
in the morning was II miners and four
company men. In the afternoon many
more miners are known to have gone
into the mine. and the exact number
OF dead may never be known. :
It is not thought possible that any
one in the mine can escape death, IL
they are not all dead already. Nearly
all the miners employed are slavs. The
mine was opened only a year ago and
extended 1000 feet into the hill. The
explosion is supposed to have been
caused by dust. But one body has been
recovered. that Of 7. Duran, driver,
who was just entering the tunnel when
the explosion occurred. He was torn
and burned almost beyond recognition.
All mines within q radius Of 20 miles
have been shut down and the miners
are on the way to assist in the rescue
Of the bodies.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 2s.-The reply Of
France and Russia to President Roose-

States note inviting second peace con-
ference at The Hague for the purpose
OF broadening and Strengthening the
original convention has not yet been
received by the German government, the

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Is Affected Somewhat by the
Campaign-Industrial Condi-

New York, Oct. 29.-Bradstreet's
says: Cooler weather has helped re-
tail trade at the west and south. This
Is reflected in some recorder business
from jobbers and wholesalers, whose
trade. while steady and better than last
year at this date, is not entirely up to
expectations. This is possibly due in
q measure to the close proximity Of
election, which is credited in a few
reports with holding back some bust
ness. The industries give quite salts
factory reports, iron in its cruder
forms leading, with active demand at
advancing prices. There still appears
unmistakable signs that caution and
conservatism have not lost their value
as yet, and that these qualities still
weight the tendency towards optimism
noted In recently preceding weeks"

TREASURER INDICTED.
Grand Jury Disbelieves Story Of Rob.
berry and Holds Him for
Embezxlement.

Pomeroy, o., Oct. 27.-After investi-
eating for month, the grand jury on
Wednesday indicted County Treasurer
Thomas J. Chase, charging the embez-
element Of $14, 500 from the county treas
ury on September 8, when he claimed
that the treasury was looted by masked
robbers and himself locked in the vault.
When Chase was brought from the eoun-
ty treasury into the court his bond was
fixed at $4,000. As he was unable to
furnish bail. he was remanded to Jail.
The arrest Of Chase caused no surprise
in Meiggs county, but there is much ex-
element over the indictments that are
expected against other persons. I
Chase claims that two unknown
masked men entered his Office and robbed
the safe, locked him in the vault, and
made their escape in daylight without
being seen by anyone about the COURT
house or in the town. Chase was found
locked up by his daughter, who rushed
to q local bank and thence to the fair
grounds for some one who could open
the vault. It is shown to the grand jury
that at least half q dozen men were
sitting in front of the courthouse all
forenoon of September 8, and saw no
strangers.
If Chase is convicted the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty company Of Bal
timore will refuse to pay the county
$4,000 insurance against daylight rob-
berry, as the indictment is for embezzle-
.ment. The burden then, would fall on
Chase's 26 individual bondsmen who
were accepted by the county commits

witnesses would not proceed o. the
voyage to the Tar east; that inquiry
would be instituted into the facts By
an international commission - pro-
vided BY The Hague convention. That,
Mr.. Balfour interpolated, had nothing
to do with arbitration. It Was the
constitution of an International COM
mission in order to find out the facts.

tried and punished adequately. The
Russian government undertook that
precautions would be taken to guard
against recurrence Of such incidents
Ths ascertainment Of the facts for

Mr.. Balfour said that apology and COM

nothing now remains but to determine
which account Is correct, Rojestven-
sky's or the trawlers. In his speech
Mr.. Balfour ridiculed the Official ex-
PLANTATION of. Admiral Rojestvens,y, but
praised the spirit in which the Rus
sian emperor and government had met

Britain tho .prevailiag feeling#.is Of

Jury for the poisoning Of her STEP
daughter. Crystal Krauss, the defend
ant. Mrs. Rae NJ. Krauss, after de-
manding immediate trial, pleaded
guilty to charge of murder in the

the bench, handed to Judge Vaughn a
signed confession written October is,
while q prisoner in the Blackford
county Jail. The audience listened in
tently while. the confession was being
read, after which the jury retired for
is minutes, returning with q verdict Of
guilty. Immediately Judge Vaughn pro-
nounced the sentence, which carries with
it imprisonment for life in the women's
prison at Indianapolis. and within half
an hour the prisoner, escorted by two
officers and followed by q mob, kissing
and uttering cries Of violence, was Oh
her way to the interurban train which
was to carry her to prison. The con-
fession pleads that the crime was COM
mitted while the defendant was dispos-
sessed Of her senses; that she had con-
fessed to her husband, w. r. Krauss:
that she was prompted to poison her
step-daughter by an indescribable de-
sire to kill, and after dealing ct length

cation Of Gods help in supplying
