Judge Cheadle last Saturday SEN
fenced Pete Robson. the murderer of
Roy D. Short. to the state prison for
life in conformity with the findings
of the jury who reported Tuesday
about midnight The jurors were out
for about six hours. There were sew
eral of them who held out for con-
siderable length of time for first de-
gree murder and one who favored
manslaughter.
In pronouncing sentence against
Robson, Judge Cheadle told the pris-
oner few things which evidently got
under the fellows hide, thick as it is.
Throughout the trial, Robson ap-
peared absolutely unconcerned as to
the outcome and said that he expect
ed to hang and did not care if he did.
Bulgarian Gets His.
The Gass case was set for trial
Wednesday and as it was continued
for the term, the jurors were excused
until Friday morning, when Mitoff.
the Bulgarian who was the leader of
the gang who shot Deputy Sheriff
Mccall, of Melstone. last summer. was
placed on trial. There was not much
to this case and the foreigner was
quickly found guilty of first degree
assault and sentenced to the state PEN

All Critics Answered.

Mr.. Edison has answered all these OBJ
~jections TO the full satisfaction Of the most
critical. Here are the important facts about
the poured house which will be spoken OF
more in detail further on:
He has produced a mixture of a consist
ency almost like water which holds the
stone or aggregates in suspension, allows
the mixture to flow freely to all parts of
the molds and secures a uniform dlstribu-
ton of the aggregates throughout the mass.
The molds are adapted to variations of ar
rangement. thus making it possible to
change the style OF houses with the same
set of molds. With five or six sets of
molds, therefore. a wide variety OF style
is possible.
The model plan exhibited by Mr.. Edison
is for one family. with a floor plan 25x9l
feet. It is intended 10 be built on lots
4Ox6O feet. giving lawn and small garden
room.
The front porch extends eight feet and
the back porch three feet
on the first floor is a large front room
14x23 and nine and a half feet high, in
ended as a living room. and a kitchen in
the back l4X2O and nine and a half feet
high. In the corner Of the front room is a
wild staircase leading 10 the second floor.
This contains two large bedrooms, a wide
hall and a roomy bath room, 7hx7it and
eight feet two inches high.
The third floor has two large rooms.
Each room has large windows, so that
there is an abundance OF light and fresh
air.

But the prize smuggling story comes

years between Liverpool and Boston. A
husky young Polander, who had come over
with a lot OF other immigrants in the steer
age, had been a prize passenger and one
OF the popular members Of steerage society.
He had had a berth by himself, as the
steerage was not filled on that voyage
and he was going to join friends in Boston
He was duly examined at quarantine, and
gave a satisfactory account Of himself, and

and this form of smuggling is ended.
One of the inspectors at the custom house
declares that fully IS per cent of the coral
jewelry brought into this country is Snug
gled, mostly from Italy, and that all sorts
and conditions of people are engaged in
smuggling this and the long kid gloves
with which the markets were flooded not
long ago. Entire families of italians living in
Brooklyn and Manhattan tenement houses
have made their living In the smuggling
of gloves, A tip received a few weeks ago
at the custom house sent a searching party
to a Brooklyn tenement house, where, after
a thorough search of several apartments,
nothing was ound. 1t was thought that
the tip was a false one, and the detectives
started to go. One of them. in leaving a

room, tripped on a loose board. This sug.
to look under that board. He did so, and
found gloves to the value of 5000 or $1,000
secreted under the floor.
A Shattered System.
A recent smuggling case which has not
yet been made public was that done by a
OAASIA IN AAlAPOiN 70
farming tools. One of the Storage pas
sengers on a certain German steamer was
found to rave very heavy luggage. which,
upon being examined, was found to con-
tain steel blades for scythes and moving
machines-his personal baggage" he said.
It was found at the examination that this
company had been doing systematic Snug
CLING In this manner, not only evading the
M vpnapf nf E,tFy hrN CHEATING tha aNaann
ship companies out OF their freight. The
passenger protested that he did not know
the bag was his" and it was subsequently
found that often cases of farming imple-
ments were put on the steamer in the name
o. a traveller and taken away by agents of
the company on this side. The French line
has made it a rule that no luggage shall
be received on one OF It's steamers unless
accompanied by the passenger, and other
lines will doubtless follow suit.
A remarkable case has just been de-
tected here, which was nothing less than
the smuggling OF valuable hand embroid-
cries and laces through a foreign consul
ate. The consul himselfr-of course, wa:
entirely ignorant OF such proceedings, buI
one OF his clerks was found to be guilty
and received a sentence OF nine months IN
Jail. All mail and packages addressed tc
a consulate are entered free of duty, and
an agent or clerk Of the consulate usually
calls at the incoming steamer m a cab e
receive the bags OF mail. This naturally
gives an excellent opportunity for SNUG
glers TO operate with the cooperation OF
such clerks as may consent to be identified
with this dangerous business.

Nashville at a. M, on the Nashville,
Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway, and
extra freight No. 1874, occurred one mile
east of this place at 1.25 O'Clock this
morning, but there was no loss of life,
and only few of the passengers and
train crews received injuries, none be-
ing fatally hurt. The two engines were
locked into each other, and but for the
fact that the engineers and firemen of
both trains jumped, they would all
have been killed
The engines were demolished and the
mail and express and baggage cars were
telescoped and wrecked, and the mail
clerk s life was saved by the fact that
he had just few minutes before the
collision walked into the day coach.

was broken, he being the worst injured.
The others escaped with few bruises.
The trains we're both running at a
speed of about thirty-five miles an hour.
The freight had orders to pass the pas
senger train at Mckenzie and was run
ming to make this point. The cause of
the accident was the failure of the agent
at Mckenzie to deliver the passing or
ders to the passenger train. The trains
met on curve, and it is miraculous
that none of the passengers were killed.
Two ladies whose names could not be
learned were bruised by being thrown
from their seats, and all the passengers
were greatly shaken up. The passen-
gers on the Dixie Flyer from St. Louis
were transferred at the scene of the
wreck and sent on to Nashville, arriv-
ing about on time.
The wreckiug crews, includidg one
with Capt. j. T. Perkins, of Martin,
cleared the track in few hours and the
trains are now on schedule time.
