Perry mide a long specch before P the black cap was pleced over his - face, n the cours? of which he said: “J shot Bela Lanier because he had dishoncred my wife and brought disgrace upon my ebildren. A man who outraged an honest wife should be treated as a mad dog, and shot down on sight. IfI had the deed F to do again I would repeat it. I have been convicted by the law of Georgia, but by the law of mashood I stand justified. The Sheriff became badly rattled, and almost fainted after the hang- ing. Bely Lanier, so the evidence in court went to show, bad iuformed Mre. Perry of Perry's infatuation for another woman. This so er- raged Perry that he lay in wait for Lanier for days with a revolver.

Weyler was welcomed on bis return from the field to the palace by the leaders of the Spaniards in Cuba. He talk- ed with unusual freedom about his policy and the war. “Tam not afraid” said Gen. Wey- ler, ‘of the charges made against my administration. I do not try to win the title of a humane general. War is war, and I came here to make war, a relentless, pitilees war against the enemies of Spain. “What means all the outcry against my decree ordering the con- centration of the pacificoe? It is not my fault if hundreds or thous ands of people have to die from the effects of a military measure. I did back in cold blood. The jury found him guilty of pre meditated murder and sentenced bim to death. Mrs. Perry made a personal and sensational plea to Gov. Atkinson for her husband's life, but the Governor refused to in terfere. i oS RES bs ~ ROPER RUN IN. 1 | i Murdered Sheriff Byler in Arkansas In 1892. ‘Mena, Ark., Sept. 8.—Leward Lo- ganand J. A.

From the best information cbtsiuable now fully thirty perscns ara believed to have perished, while 15 are known to bave been bed!y injured. The wreck 1s by far the worst, not only in the histcry of Colorado, but in all the annals of Western railroad- ing. When the disaster occurred the coucussion was so great that both engines, baggaze and express cars, smoker and day coaches and two stock cars wera totally demol ished and the track for many rods in both directions was tom up. The tire started from the explosion of a Pintech gas tank on one of the pas senger coaches. The generally accepted theory as to the cause of the wreck is that Conduetor Burbank of the Midland special, anticipating the time of the passenger, undertook to “steal a sta tion” and beat the passenger into Newcastle. Burbank escaped unin jared, and upon orders from Coro ner Clark has been placed under arrest by the sheriff. Mr. and Mrs. E. H.

Trenton, N. J., Sept. 3.—The County Board of Assessors was greatly refreshed by the statement presented by from Prineston berough, who exhibited the return blank made by Grover Cleveland. He fixed the value of his new home at $20,000, aod his personal property at $130,000. He says in the assessors his remarks that this is as near as he can get at the value of his securi ties, because of the fluctuating value of stocks.

Hayes, President of the Green Glass Gas City, Ind., Sept. 8.—About 300 men congregated about the Thompson Glasa Company’s factory when it was started yesterday with non-union men. . When J. Thompson appeared he was stoned and a general fight fol- lowed. One man was badly hurt, his shoulder being broken, and Mr Thompson was hurt by stones. His life is threatened. Women took an active part. Last night an open meeting was held, and the action of Thompson was severely condemned by D. A.

Some say the noise was heard and the shock felt in New castle. Some excitement was occasioned by two Italians attempting to break open trunks taken from the baggage car. Marshal Pearson shot at one and thinks he hit him. The other, Nick Fick, was arrested. The Rio Grande passenger train was due at Newcastle at 11:05 o'clock. and should have reached the point one and one half mi'es beyond Neweastle, where the ace:dent 02 curred, by 11:10. Frank P. Mannix, a newspaper man of Victor, Col., who was in the smoker and escaped with some pain ful bruises and burns, said today: “Words fail to exprees the horror of the scene. The crash came unex pectedly. Suddenly all was dark ness, confusion. The air was filled with cinders, splinters and heated gacses. Then flames darted upcn either side. The scene was simply indescribable. The flames were in asepsa a Godsend, for with their aid the windows were located, even though passengers had to jump through the flames.” The accident occurred at the worst posible point. Two misutes’ running time each way would have averted the wreck, as each engineer could have seen the appeoach of the other train.

It is still seen spread out in sheaf and can not be bound or stalked. The crop is now reduced to a condition that fits only for the manure heap. The potato crop is counted altogether a failure.” A dispatch from Westmeath saye: “Inceseant rains for the past month hava ecmpletely destroyed crops of every description. What were a month ago smiling, cheerful looking fields are today blighted and ruined. The potato crop is bad even to rot- tennese. Oats and kindred crops are in such a wretched way that no yield can be expectod from them.” Indian Dog Feast. Perkine, Ok., Sept. 8—The Iowa and Sac and Fox tribes are holding their annual reunion and dog feast on the allotment of Chief Abraham Liseclo, six mies south of here.
