Warden Preparing to Carry Out Sen. tence Next Week. Ossining, N. Y., June 13 —Albert T. Patrick, the lawyer, whose appeal for a new trial on the charge of murder- ing William Marsh Rice was denied, has suggested to Warden Johnson of the state prison that he defer his ar- rangements for Patrick’s execution next week. Patrick, who did nokseem despondent, notified the wardem he was preparing an application to the United States circuit court for a writ of error and that this would probably stay the execution. Warden Johnson, however, informed Patrick that he should continue his arrangements un- less stopped by order of the court. The warden said he will issue tick- ets on Thursday to the necessary wit- nesses to Patrick’s execution. FIRE CHIEF Prominent Young Man Charged With Incendiarism. Menominee, Mich.,, June 13.—Ac- cused of setting twelve to fifteen fires in the last month to get the $5 al- lowed each member of the fire depart- ment for every ‘alarm responded to, Henry Boyd, chief of the Sawyer fire department, has been arrested and is now in jail at Sturgeon<Bay. A man named Peterson, who claims to. have caught Boyd in the act of setting a fire, is also held as a witness. Boyd is of good family, has a pros- perous furniture business and has al- ways been considered one of the hest young business men of the village. IS JAILED. ROUT OF REBELS COMPLETE. Natalian Forces Slay Several Hundred Additional Natives. Durban, Natal, June 13.—Colonel MacKenzie's column attacked the rebel natives who had sought shelter in the bush. The latter climbed trees, whence they hailed assagais on the troops, but builets dropped them out of the branches. Over forty were thus killed and altogether 160 natives were slain. Darkness ended the operations of the troops, but the rout of the reb- els is regarded as practically com- plete. BY COMMERCE COMMISSION. Presidents of Coal Carrying Roads In- vited to Testify. Philadelphia, June 13—The presi- | dents of the big coal carrying rail-| roads will be given an opportunity to appear before the interstate commerce commission and make any statement they may desire. Commissioner Cock- rell said thaé invitations would be ex- tended to the presidents of the Penn: sylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, the Nor- folk and Western, the Chesapeake and Ohio and the New York Central rail- roads to appear before the commis- sion. No.subpoenaes will be issued for the heads of these roads and their appearance will be entirely optional with the officials. “You cannot condemn a man with- out a hearing,” said Commissioner Cockrell. “It has been the purpose of the commission to permit the presi- dents of the coal roads to make any statements they may desire, but we are not yet ready. We want all the testimony we can get from the subor- dinates and then the case in its entire-| ty will be before the commission and ; the railroad presidents.” DATE OF TRIAL NOT FIXED.

CONVICTED AT KANSAS CITY OF ACCEPTING REBATES FROM BURLINGTON ROAD, JURY AGREES IN VERY SHORT TIME ARMOUR, SWIFT, CUDAHY AND NELSON MORRIS COMPANIES THE DEFENDANTS. Kansas City, June 13.—Armour & Co., Swift & Co.,, Cudahy & Co. and the Nelson Morris Packing company have been found guilty in the United States district court here of accepting concessions from the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy railway on export shipments of packinghouse products. The case was given to the jury at 10:40. The verdict was returned at 11:40. Judge Smith McPherson of Red Oak, Ia., the presiding judge, stated that the sentence would not be as- essed until the case against the Bur- lington road, which is charged with granting the concessions to the pack- ers, is concluded. The Burlington’s trial began at once. The law in the present case provides for a fine only and not a jail sentence. The cases are those of Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Cudahy & Co. and the Nelson Morris Packing company. They were charged in indictments re- turned here last December with ac- cepting from the Burlington railway concessions on shipments from the Kansas City plants to New York for export. The cases were consolidated for trial purposes. The specific case considered, which is practically iden- tical with the others, is that charging Cudahy & Co. with accepting a rate of 23 cents per 100 pounds on a ship- ment of lard to New York for export to Germany when the legal tariff then on file with the interstate commerce commission was 35 cents. The present case bears unusual im- “portance-in the-list -of rebate trials. to come up in this court, for it is the first time that any concern has been brought to trial before a jury on a charge affecting export rates as ap- plied to the interstate commerce act. Counsel for the defendants in this trial contended that the court lacked jurisdiction, which was overruled by Judge McPherson, and then that when they signed a contract covering a 23- cent rate it was legal and the Burling- ton later raised its tariff to 35 cents. Judge McPhersou’s instructions to the jury covered the points fully. TO FIGHT COAL MINE FIRE. Experienced Force Attacks Blaze at Red Lodge. Helena, Mont., June 13.—Officers of the Northwestern improvement com- pany coal mines at Red Lodge are making every effort to subdue the flames. Superintendent Menzies of the company’s mines at Roslyn, Wash,, has arrived at Red Lodge with a force of experienced fire fighters and is trying to extinguish the flames, As he was formerly superintendent of the Red Lodge mine and knowing just how to fight the fire it is expected that he will soon have the flames un- der control, the gas forced out and the mine ready for operation.

PATRICK. : New York, June 12.—Recorder Goff has denied a motion for a new trial in the case of Albert T. Patrick, the convicted murderer of William M.i Rice, an aged millionaire. Patrick’s lawyers, it is said, were | prepared for an adverse decision and have the papers ready for an applica- tion to the United States supreme court for a writ of error and for a writ } of habeas corpus. These applications | would again delay the carrying out of the death sentence and would make the fifth postponement for Patrick, Wwho has now been in the deathhouse in Sing Sing for more than four years. IMMENSE CROWDS ARRIVING. Thousands of Former Kentuckians Gather at Louisville., Louisville, Ky., June 13.—All trains ' funning with extra coaches, a double aumber of Pullmans and the great majority of them in two and three sec. | all parts of the United States are | flocking to their native state for the | *“homecoming week.” Thousands of native born and near- ly as many more who cannot claim | Kentucky as a birthplace but who are anxious to take part 4n the festivities of the week, have already arrived and within twenty-four hours Louis- ville will hold the largest crowd ever gathered in the city for any event. Accommodations in the leading hotels are already exhausted by present oc- cupants and by the reservations of those who will arrive shortly.. Louis- ville has, however, made most ample provisions for her visitors and the committee which has in charge the care of the city’s guests express the utmost confidence in its ability to per- form its task to the satisfaction of ev- erybody who comes. MINERS FAIL TO~ RESPOND. Strike Conditions at Diilonvale, Unchanged. Dillonvale; O., June 13.—Conditions in mining circles here are unchanged. The Hanna company’s claim that a large number of union men would go to work during the morning was not sustained, not one man having re- sponded. At Plum Run mine of the United [ 1 force was small. Sixty of the strike- breakers have left. PECULIAR CAUSE OF STRIKE. Differences Between Unions Ties Up Building Operations. St. Louis, June 13.—More than 6,000 union men affiliated with the Building Trades Council are out as a result of the strike begun Monday and building operations are now limited to struc- tures whers the stone and brick work has been completed and to frame houses where it is not necessary to employ stonemasons or bricklayers. The strike was caused by strained relations between two unions, one be- ing composed of bricklayers and the other of stonemasons and bricklayers. The feeling became so intense that members of one union finally refused to work with any members of the other union. Then a general strike resulted. The question of wages does not enter into the complication and the employers are forced to wait for the unions to adjust their difficulties and resume work. Fugitive Finally Caught. Muskogee, I. T., June 13.—Newton Bohannon has been arrested at Ok- mulgee, I. T., on a charge of murder- ing Moses Echolds near Bonham, Tex., Jan. 20, 1867, and placed in the fed- eral jail here. Bohannon has been a THEM ALL Cole Receives the Nomina- tion on the Third Ballot. Beltrami Delegation Stood Ten for Cole; One for Stephens, | Dututh, Minn. June 13.—Spectal to the Pioneer. A. L Cole, of Walker was made’ the Republican nominee for governor on third ballot. At first it looked like Jacobson but when the delegation from Hennepmn County gave eighty-seven of her ninety-nine votes to Cole it was easily seen by the balance of the delegations that the Walker man was a winner. At ten o’clock this morning the Republican state convention at Duluth was called. order by Conde Hamlin. "W, W:-Sivright of Hutchinson was made tem- porary chairman and George Simpson, of Winona, made tem- porary Secretary. On the third ballot the Henne- pin delegation which had been solid for Block gave their strength to Cole, thereby chang- ing the result. The convention was at once in an uproar and everyone except those in the Jacobson column helped the winner win, The counvention then was a convention of excitement as dele- gation after delegation rose in their seats to make the nomina- tion as unanimous as possible, thereby pledging their support and creaticg a sentiment for the winning candidate. This act of the delegates alone is worth con- siderable to Cole and makes a |good many votes for him throughout the counties. The Jacobson force attempted to rally the convention to their favorite son, but at last gave up, seeing it was hopeless to try to secure the nomination for their favorite candidate. The final showing gave Cole, 550; Jacobson, 408; Block, 19; fugitive from justice for thiity-nine lCominued onlast page,column 5. New York, June 13.—Frederick A. Burnham, former president of the Mu- tual Reserve Life Insurance company, and Secretary Burnham and George D. Eldridge, formerly vice presidents of that company, were arraigned be- fore Judge Cowing on five indictments returned by the grand jury against each of them, charging forgery and grand larcany. Through their counsel they pleaded not guilty. The date of the trial has not been fixed. Handwriting Expert Dies. Washington, June 13—Edwin B.
