.HAU SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Heard the Verdict Of the Jury With
Perfect Composure.

Karlsruhe, July 23.-Karl Hau. a
brilliant young law professor Of Wash
ington, d, c., was condemned to death
this morning after five days trial,
for the murder of his wife's mother,
Frau Molitor. a wealthy resident Of
Baden Baden, in that city Nov. 6 last
The prisoner heard the verdict of
the jury with perfect composure and
chatted smilingly with his counsel
after the judges withdrew to fix his
sentence Upon the return of the
judges Hau arose and standing erect
with folded arms. listened to the sent
tnce without moving muscle. A mo-
ment later he was hurried away to
prison by half a dozen policemen.
The sentence is unpopular with the
street crowds. which have been dem
onstrating more and more openly for
several days In Hau's favor and
against the Molitor family.
After the adjournment of the court
for recess at o'clock last night
the women of the Molitor party were
compelled to remain In an office
of the court house because II was
dangerous for them to appear In the
streets. A carriage waited for them
In the court yard, and 1t was several
hours before they were able to leave.
Meanwhile, enormous crowds had
assembled in the streets adjacent to
the court house
Cordons of police kept the crowds
in check for an hour or more, but then
lost control of them the masses push
ing and crushing forward to the doors
with the evident intention of storming
the entrance.

San Francisco, July 23.-In one OF
the worst marine disasters In the his.
tory of the California coast between
100 and $50 lives were lost, as far as
has been learned, by midnight col
lision between the steamer Columbia
and the steam lumber schooner San
Pedro in Shelter Cove, 10 miles south
west of the Mendocino-Humboldt
county line, between IL and 1 o'clock
Sunday morning.
Only meagre details of the tragedy
have been received, though every ef-
fort has been made to get the facts.
Scores of telegrams to Eureka, the
nearest point of importance, remain
unanswered. The few details known
here were brought by the steamer
Roanoke and the steam schooner
Daisy Mitchell, which arrived in San
Francisco yesterday forenoon.
The Columbia, 800 foot steel ves-
sci of the San Francisco and Portland
steamship company, Wnlie Douhu
from San Francisco for Portland. Ore,
with 1S9 passengers and a crew of 60.
collided with and was rammed by the
San Pedro, a 10 foot wooden steamer,
southbound for this city.
The sea was smooth but the wealth
er was foggy. The San Pedro. loom
ing out of the mist few ship lengths
away, bore down on the Columbia at
high speed, despite frantic efforts to
clear. With grinding crash the
San Pedro sank her stem fully 10 feet
into the Columbia's port bow.
Nearly all of the Columbia's passen-
gers and many of her crew were
asleep when the collision occurred. AS
the San Pedro backed away the sea
poured in through the ragged hole In
the Columbia's bow above and below
the water line, and in five minutes
she sank.
The story of that five minutes is
yet to be told and until 1t Is told by
some survivors the facts Of the trag-
edy can be but guessed at.

AN OFFICER
KILLS A man
DEPUTY GAME AND FISH WARDEN
USES GUN WITH SLIGHT
PRovocATioN.

WHEELING. Feb. 12.-william
Con, clerk In the Capitol Cafe. at
Bellaire, was shot and instantly kill.
ed at one o'clock this morning by o.
T. Borham, deputy game warden OF
Belmont county.
From what could be learned the
shooting occurred on Union street ia
front of the Exchange Hotel. The men
had been quarreling over some trivial
affair. but it is said the quarrel was
not OF that nature to require murder.
The quarrel continued for some time,
both men increasing in anger until
I'm q frenzy of madness Goff struck
Bornam in the face with his fist.
Almost instantly the report of re.
iyofver was heard and when the smoise
cleared away Cot was lying in the
street with bullet in his body-dead.
No erovocation
Persons who witnessed the killing
say there was no occasion for Bor.
hams actions. and it is alleged he was
the aggressor. Owing to the late hour
at which the shooting occurred fuller
details could not be ascertained. After
committing the crime Borham at
tempted to escape, but after an hours
diligent search he was captured by
Night Lieutenant stobei and Officers
Davis and Johnson, and placed in the
Bellaire Jail. Borham is reticent con.
eerning the shooting. and will not d.
vulge the motive which led to the
murder.
The Murdered Man.
William Goff. the victim, is about 20
years of age, and is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Jocab Goff. of Thirty.second
street. He had been employed at the
Capital cafe as clerk since early in the
fall.
Q. T. Borham, the alleged murderer
has filled the position of deputy game
warden Of Belmont county for several
years. His aggressive conduct In en-,
forcing the game and Ash laws OF Ohio
has made him the target for every.
bodys enmity and quarreis have been
of frequent occurrence. 1t is said this
is what precipitated the quarrel that
cost young Goff his life.
Is an Ex.conviet.
Borham served time in the Ohio
penttentiary for the killing OF a man
named Day. The crime occurred
about twenty years ago, and before
the, expiration of the sentence Bor
hams friends secured his release on
parole. His conviction was the result,
of circumstantial evidence. and while
he was found guilty OF the crime his
friends assert his innocence.
There may be other circumstances
connected with last nights killing
which may be cleared away by the
police today.
