HOLDS RATES IN FORCE
NOT DISCRIMINATION
Commerce Commission Considers
Schedules of Nashville, Chatta-
noOga and Southern.

WASHINGTON, Feb IS. - The
maintenance of lower rates from Ohio
river crossings to Birmingham, Ala.
than to Atlanta, Ga. by the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St Louis and the
Southern railway, is not a discrimina-
ton according to the interstate com
merce commission Saturday.
The commission, however, ordered
that the same rate be charged from
Cincinnati to these cities.
The commission also held that the
present adjustment of rates from east
ern port cities and interior points To
Atlanta, whether all rail. ocean and
rail. was not unreasonable nor did it
discriminate in favor of Chattanooga.
Nashville or Knoxville; the opinion
read:
No reductions are now ordered or
suggested in the scale Of rates apply
ing from Cincinnati TO Atlanta; that
in changing the rates from Cincinnati
the necessity for a parity in rates to
Atlanta and Birmingham should be
kept in mind. The present parity of
rates from the several Ohio river
crossings to Atlanta is not disturbed,
nor is the differentials from the lower
Ohio river crossings to Birmingham
A revision of the present fiat differen-
tial of four cents on traffic from Mem
phis is suggested.

MRS. BUFFUM IS
FOUND GUILTY Of
MURDER BY JURY
Report Was Unexpected as
Court Had Ruled Confession
Was Not to be Considered if
Not Made by Free Will.

LITTLE VALLEY, y. Y. Feb. Is
Mrs. Cynthia Buffum was found guilty
of murder in the first degree at 1880
Friday night.
The verdict not only stunned the
woman and her counsel but caused a
demonstration of aStOniShment in the
little court room that had been pack
ed with the people Of her neighbOr-
hood from early morning until the
fateful moment.
In view of the charge delivered by
Justice Brown. the blow Of doom was
unexpected by even aStute attorneys
The jury was out five hours and 90
minutes. Mrs. Buffum was confident.
even smiling at the end of the trial.
Her counsel, Patrick : Collins, had
delivered a powerful plea TO the jury.
Justice Brown had charged that if the
jury found improper methods had
been used to obtain the confession
from Mrs. Buffum. in which she said
that she had slowly poisoned her hus-
band to death with an arsenical mix
ture, they should not consider the
confession. He said that the death
of the young daughter, Laura, who
was poisoned as was her rather,
could be considered only as a test Of
the symptoms of arsenical poisoning.
The attorneys for the defendant
were frankly confident-almOst jubi-
liant. The thrOng in the stuffy court
room waited only 10 witness the
dramas end. That ii would be "A
happy END for the defendant none
seemed 10 doubt. When Juror Gere
asked gravely if a verdict less severe
than that of first degree murder
could be considered, Mrs. Buffum
smiled.
When the jury came in at 1890
with the announcement: Guilty in
the first degree" Mrs. Buffum's heavy
features relaxed. She turned dismal
~ TO her attorney. She seemed ready
to collapse. Mr.. Collins look
strengthened her. but she almost fell
into her chair after rising to hear her
fate.
For the first time since her arrest
last October the woman accused of
numbering her husband Willis. her
baby son Norris. her daughter Laura,
and Of poisoning her three other chill
dren, had quailed.
Mrs. Buffum's attorney Immediately
declared he would demand new
trial on the ground that the jury had
been supplied with garbled newspaper
accounts OF the case and had been in
fiuenced in the reading Of them.

Mr.. Me also visited the Fountain Of
Youth. which was discovered by

conversation between an old darkey
and a visitor at the spring. The
darkey saying: That all of those
who drink Of this fountain regularly
are so healthy and they never die.
and that on the day of judgment the
people there will have TO Kill one an
other. while the last one left will have
to commit suicide"
