New Guatemala Volcano.

San Francisco-The steamer Pan
ANA Monday morning brought news of
a volcano in Guatemala, so long extinct
that its name has been forgotten, hav-
ing recently broke out Its long sleep
terminated three weeks ago with such
terrifying mutterings and spouting Of
lava and smoke that the people living
at San Fillipe, at the base of the noun.
tain, are fleeing for their lives.
Opposite the new volcano is Santa
Maria, volcano which, during the last
200 years. has wiped out town after
town.
The Inhabitants of the district fear
a repetition of the Santa Maria catas-
trophies and are, therefore, deserting
the mountainside. Already the country
for miles is covered some inches deep
with dust and ashes from the active
volcano.

GILLETTE ELEcTRocurED.
Yeuns Murderer Of Grace Brown Con
fesses His Guilt.

Auburn, N. Y.-Unmoved and with.
out showing the faintest sign of emo
ton or any kind, Chester Gillette, the
murderer OF Grace Brown, was put to
death In Auburn prison Monday morn
ing.
He appeared to have been fully rec
onciled to his fate, and in statement
given out by his spiritual advisers i'm
mediately after the execution. it is in
d1cated that he made a confession of
his guilt.
Sunday night Gillette gave the war
den a statement for publication, say
ing he had experienced religion and
advising all young men to become
Christians.
His mother says it was hard for her
to feel that he was guilty OF murder.
but she ID glad he confessed.
The statement as to Gillette's con-
fession was signed by Rev Henry Nc
1lravy of Little Falls and the Rev. Cor
dello Herrick, the prison chaplain, who
attended Gillette since he has been in
the death cell at the prison. 1t was
as follows:
Because our relationship with Ches-
ter Gillette was privileged, we do not
deem 1t wise to make a detailed state
ment, and simply wish to say that no
legal mistake was made in his electro
cution."
The crime for which Chester f.
Gillettee forfeited his life was the muir
der of his sweetheart, Grace Brown,
near Big Moose in the Adirondacks.
July II, 1906. Gillette was convicted
on circumstantial evidence after sen
sational trial in which the pathetic
love letters OF BILLY" Brown, as the
girl was familiarly known among her
associates. to Gillette, played an i'm
portant part
The girl who perished in the waters
OF Big Moose lake had trusted Gillette
to make amends or the wrong he had
done her. by making her his wife.
Grace Brown was a farmers daugh-
ter from South Otselic, who worked in
tho same factory with Gillette. July
8, 1906. she went from her home to De
Ruyter. Joined Gillette, and they trav-
eled rs man and wife to Utica, to Tup-
per lake and then to Big Moose, where
he took the girl out on the lake and
drowned her.
Late that night Gillette appeared at
Eagle Bay. twelve miles from Big
Moose. He had walked through the
woods. The next day he went on an
excursion with young women from
Cortland whom he had promised to
meet there.
Alarm was felt in Big Moose over
the failure of Gillette to return with
the boat he had rented and search was
made the next day. The boat was
found floating bottom up near shore In
a secluded part of the lake, with a
woman's wrap spread over the bottom.
The lake was dragged and the body OF
Grace Brown was found. Gillette was
arrested at Eagle Bay, July 14th.
