NIGHT.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. August 1e.-
Exhausted in an effort to keep her
fiance ahoat after their canoe upset
in the schuylkill river last night. Miss
Annie B. ober was drowned Just as a
rescuing party approached. Her fiance,
M. F. Alexander. was saved.
He was almost frantic with grief,
and attempted to throw himself into
the river several times from the boat
after he had reached the shore.
The couple went to the boat house
at Lemon Hill last evening, hired a
canoe and started out on the river.
They had been out but few miles
when Miss ober was startled by q
launch. which darted swiftly past
them. She clutched the side of the
boat. and the little craft went over,

AWFUL STORY OF CRIME IN CAL.
HouN COUNTY TOLD IN FULL
ON WITNESS STAND.

PARKERsBuRG, Aug. 16.-A more
narrowing tale than the blackest
story yet told of the murder of Henry
Blackshire, fell last evening from the
lips of Lewis Hendricks, on the wit
ness stand in the Calhoun county Cir
cult Court, where the trial Of Mrs.
Blackshire on the charge of being one
of the principals in the awful crime
was begun yesterday morning.
Court opened yesterday morning at
nine o'clock with Judge Parsons on
the bench. The court room was
crowded and there was excitement in
the Courthouse and out. Contrary
to all expectations the first task-that
of securing jury was disposed of
without either trouble or a waste of
time. Only fifteen or twenty jurors
were dismissed. on various grounds
some because they had expressed an
opinion, others because they were
related to the woman or to some
persons interested in the trial, and
still others because of their aversion
to capital punishment.
Some Of the jurors were also chal-

compelled TO advise with the Mikado
before final disposition of the ques.
| tion.
This assumption is based upon the
fact that after yesterdays meeting
the Office force of both of the enveys
was engaged in putting into code long
and important messages to Toxic and
st. Petersburg. The private wires in
the Japanese rooms are ticking away
almost the entire night.
The progress already made by the
ENJOYS in the first week, which ends
to-day, has astonished all who have
had experience in such matters. 1t
had been expected that nearly week
would have been necessary for the
ENJOYS to arrange the. preliminaries
leading up to actual negotiations. In
stead of this, as horseman Just down
from Saratoga expressed 1t, "They
have been working on kite-shaped
track and have shown speed all the
way"
The first days time cleared the way
for business and on the second Japan
laid down her demands. With the
conclusion of yesterdays session
agreements have been reached on the
following articles:
Recognition of Japan's preponderat.
ing influence in Korea.
Russia's evacuation of Manchuria.
Mutual agreements to respect the
territorial integrity of China and to
maintain the open door"
Transfer of Russian commercial
leases in the Liao.Tung Peninsula;
that that at Dalny isethe most import.
ant.
Transfer Of the Russian military
lease at Port Arthur.
Contrary to expectation the question
OF the. cession of the. Chinese eastern
railway was not touched upon yester-
day but It Is expected that it VIII
be taken up to-day. although the ques.
ton OF the surrender OF the interned
Russian warships and the demand for
equal fishing privileges on the sibe.
rian coast may be- considered.

led the chorus Of woeful wailings.
They looked upon the Saghalien
incident as the practical rupture Of
negotiations and declared that further
meetings, IL such were held, would
only be attended out of politeness and
because of the desire of the Russians
to place their emphatic disapproval on
other Japanese demands which have
not yet been taken under formal con-
sideration.
But the crisis, although recognized
to be near, is not thought by the en-
voysi to be scheduled for to-day. AS
the daily conferences continue the
subjects become more important, and
a disagreement is naturally looked
for. but those who have been san
guine of peaceful solution of the
work of the ENJOYS believe that each
one of these questions is susceptible
to adjustment, after a period of more
or less lengthy discussion. They
have not expected agreements to be
reached all at once on every subject
but look for more time to be consum-
ed in the settlement of the few con-
troverted questions than have been oc-
cupied. in the determination of, all
those which already have peen favora-
,bly acted upon. 6
When the great questions of the
cesslon of saghalien, the proposed
limitation of the Russian armament
in the Pacific and the reimbursement
for the cost of the war are reached,
1t is then that the sessions will not
be SO frequent, in order to enable the
ENJOYS to communicate with their
home governments. Is

vested with sufficient powers to nego-
tfate a treaty of peace. but 1t is be-

The Italians were working for Dun.

near by. The explosion was heard
by number of people, but the crime
did not become known until after day

between one and two o'clock yester-
day morning, a shack In which there
were eight sleeping Italians, was dy-
namited and the structure and every

have been committed by the same

force the removal of the barriers that
limit the expansion of American

A fair chance for access to the
markets OF the world Is the object
sought by delegates to the National
Reciprocity Conference which opened
at the Illinois Theatre this morning.
The interests involved aggregate
hundreds Of millions of dollars In cap.

behind them are those whose energy
has made the United States great In
the eyes of the commercial world.
Delegates have arrived from every
section Of the country.
The interest apparent on every
hand was more pronounced perhaps
than ever has been manifested over
a semi.political conclave In this
country. A decade ago such gath
ering, national In scope. would have
been impossible.
Now 1t simply marks step In the
awakening process that is declaring
war against the greed OF the few in
Its various manifestations. Nine.
tenths Of the delegates to the conyen.
tion are protectionists. according to
the general use OF that term and their
political affiliations generally have
been with the party that has develop.

BLACKSHIRE WAS POISONED
AND Then shot BY HENDRICKS

lenged by both sides but the ease with
which Jury was secured was surpris-
ing considering the circumstances.
The task was accomplished before
noon.
Wanted a Continuance.
Then the attorneys for the defense
made motion for a continuance.
setting forth several reasons. the
principal one OF which was that they
were not prepared to go to trial.
Judge Parsons heard the arguments
on the motion and then decided It
emphatically. stating that when the
case was continued two months ago
for trial on August 10, 1t was the
understanding that 1t was, not again
to be continued.
At four o'clock all preliminaries
having been disposed Of the State

bricks. the man who fired the shot
which ended Henry Blackshire's life
on May 8, according to his own ad.
mission, was the first witness to be
called. Hendricks was placed upon
the stand and told his story in q
STRAIGHTFORWARD manner.
Hendricks Tells Story.
He said that all stories which had
been told by him before were told
when he was not under oath and
while true in the main, were untrue
in detail. He said now he would tell
the whole truth.
He told Of the alleged preliminary
negotiations with Mrs. Blackshire to
which he and Bub McCrosky were
the parties. Mrs. Blackshire promised
them half Of the insurance money II
they would kill her husband, which
they agreed to do. Then after re-
peated attempts to get up nerve to
perform the awful deed they failed
In its accomplishment.
After repeated conferences with the
woman, he said, it was agreed that
she should kill him by poison, and
that they were to receive their price
merely for removing the body and
throwing It into the river or to con-
iceal it in some effective manner.
\ To this. Hendricks said, he and
McCrosky assented, and in the mean
time the woman did her part OF the
work. The poison, according to the
allegations, was purchased in this
city. although Hendricks knew moth
ing of this detail only by hearsay and
what she told him. On May Mrs.
.Blackshire told the witness that she
was ready for witness and McCrosky,
and that they should come without
fail that night.
Started on Awful Mission.
Witness and McCroskey called at
the Blackshire home. Thought it was
about eleven o'clock. Found Black
shire lying on the floor in the bed
room. He was not dead but was ap-
parently very weak and probably dy-
ing from the poison. Witness \. be-
lieved that he was dying. Witness
and McCroskey picked him up and
were prepared to start on their hor
rible mission. The victim gave more
sign of life and attempted to free
himself. Witness said that he was
too weak to make much of a strug-
