found guilt } of \uriousoltcnscs with
which they - cre iharsed , for the purpose of
pronounclnc : their sentences. Henry Hull
wns given a , life sentence in the penitentiary
at hard labor for the murder of his wifo.
The prisoner showed no slpti of feeling- when
the sentence was passed , hut remained , as
tbrouphtbc tilal , perfectly passive.
J. B. Kin K was the next who wns called
upon to stand up and rcceno his sentence.
olonelD. B. Dailcy nskotl the court to bo
cnient with him , from the fact that Uo
was a younp nmi , and it was his belief that
a lonp. revengeful sentence did more harm in
the way of Innlcnlng the victim than it did
peed in reforming him. IIo also stated that
c had already passed a term in the penl-
tcntlar ) of KoDraska. In reply Judge 'Jhom-
ell stated that there was only one circum
stance connected with the whole affair that
could possibly bo considered as in the slight
est d ureo extenuating , and that was that
the mlsoner wns under the iiilluenco of
liquor when the crinio wa-- committed , and
that hoconscnuently did not know what ho
\v.is dolupr. Ho sw no reason , ho\iovcr\vhy
that fact shoalu secure for him a ligliterbuii-
tenco. On the contrary , ho thought it was
ancxcellentopportutiltv to teach tdo joutif , '

time of the \vrcck her husband was employed
by the compuny M llrcman. Near Silver
City there Is a sharp cunfO in the track , and
while rounding this curve , on account of the
bad condition of the tracks , the rotten ties ,
tbo unskillful spiking , tbo defective
engine , the negligence of the en-
plneer mid conductor , U is alleged ,
the train left the track while going
nt the rate of thirty-five miles an bour ,
the tender and mall car being projected

'H. U.Eastman presents himself asnrow-
rcsontatlvo of the Vermont granite company
and sild his business was to work up the
tombstone trado. His prices wen ) consider
ably below these of the lec.U dealers , nnd
some of those whom he has had on the string
con tided in him enough to sip contracts forwent
wont , These contracts ho has sold to the
loc.il dealers In consideration of about'JO per
cent commission , and the result has been a
neat mue aurpiusin uis iu\or.
Eastman , according to o no man's story , by-
quoting his goods at prices considerably
lower than these ot the local dealers
has potteti Into the good graces of n num
ber of the Council Uluffi citizens , After tnU
has been accomplished , and his intended vic
tim has been induced to believe that hewants
some of Kastman's wares , that gentleman
draws up a coupio of contracts which are
supposed to ho dunlicatcs. Ono of th&o tie
hands to the prospective purchaser ui.d the
other ho reads aloud , so that ho may see that
the contract calls for Just what bo wants ,
Tlio contract which is seen by thonuichasor
Is perfectly straight , but the ono m the hands
of the agent calls for a stone several times
smaller than'tho other Ho reads the dimen
sions , however , to correspond with these on
the other. After tlio two have been , to all
appearances , compared and found to bo Iden
tical , the agent bands over to the purchaser
ttio contract which ho has been reading , for
his signature , 'llm victim docs not take the
trouble to icad it over , supposing that every
thing Is all riRht , of course , and puts douu
his namo. The agent tboii pockets his con
tract and goes away in the consciousness of
having done a gnod day's -work. These con
tracts are disposed of to local marble men
without trouble on the 20 ncr cctit plan.
It transpires that Eastman has worked suc
cessfully other parts of the country and has
boon published in some of the marble jour
nals. Sometimes ho goes by the name of
Eastman and at others ISlton Hunt. He is

The Assignment > et
ThoBruen attachment case was settled at
ho term of the district court which has just
been completed at . .Avoca.V. . S. Druen , It
ivillba remembered , Is an Oakland meichnnt
ivho made a > i assignment about three months
ago for the benefit of his creditors. The as-
Ignmcntwas attacked by a number of oth"r
creditors , eight in nil , whowcro loft out In
the cold , on the ground that it was illegal.
The claims bold by the "llssatisfiea cieditors
amounted la all to * 9,000 , and their owners ,
without paj ing any attention to the assignee ,
ovlcd on the gooJs by attachment and began
roceedings to set asldo iho assignment upon
the ground that the assignee lud been au
thorized to sell goods for credit , a thing
\vhichhfisbeondecided hvthotoutts to bo
_ 1 legal , and upon the further groundof fraud.
Judro Mncv's decision sustained Iho credi
tors in both particulars and sot aside the as
signment
'Jho cicdltors whoso claims , to the amount
of about $14 $ , OCX ) , were co ered by the assign
ment , arc thus left without anything to set
tle their claims. C. B Union , a brother of
the bankrupt merchant. Is the only ono who
sa\cd himself , and he did so only by display
ing coasliiera bio business foresight. Seeing
that tlio assignment uould In all probability
be set asldo , ho bought upfS.OJO worth of the
creditors' ' claims for flftv cents on thodolKir ,
the claim which ho bad filed with tUo as
signee amounting to about 53,000. Mho goods
are to bo sold April 4 , and it is thought they
will reallzo about seu'nt.viU-o cents on the
dollar. IIo will , therefore , not lose anything.
although lu reality ho loses the amount of
his claim.

His llopcH CruHhed.
A young farmer from Franiont county was
in tbo city yesterday morning looking for a
young- lady whom ho nnd at oao tlmo in
tended to marry. Ills name was \Vilson ,
nnd when ho Is at homo ho is a farmer. IIo
had entered into a contract \\ith the rela
tives of his aftlanccd bndo for the lease of
Uio farm owned by them near the boundary
of I'ottawnttamlo and Mills counties. Ttio
agreement bad ail bocn completed nnd ail the
parties to it bad signed the contract , with the
exception of thoyounplady. The husbandox-
pectunthad not yet asked for her signature
to the document , thinking that could tie ob
tained ntany ttuio , as the couple were to
have been mairicd tomorrow , and the plan
was that the jounpoeoplo were to take up
their residence at the bride's old homo , and
her youne sisters were also to continue to
'
Iho'uL tneir old homo with their married
sistor. Hut youngMr. ; Wilson's hopes mid
anticipations of a happy future were cruelly
crushed when bo learned Saturday that the
yountc lady had disposed of all her * posses
sions at her nome , and was InCbuncll Bluffs
with her brother , who lives in Montana.
The young farmer bridled and saddled his
liorso und rode nearly all of last idght. nnd
readied the city early this morning. Upon
making inquiries lie learned that they had registered -
istered at the Hotel Gordon and haa left on
the ( i o'clock train last nlsht for the nest.
Tbo pirlloftno explanation other conduct to
console her deserted lo\er \ , and ho snjs he
can conjecture ao reason for her act. Besides
deserting him the lack of her name to the
contract for the Iciso of the farm makes the
document void and leaves Mr , Wilson in an
other predicament.
The JOUIIRman spent the day looking for
his woald-uot-bo bride , without nuy success
in finding cither the girl or any reason for
her stranpo conduct. At 4 o'clock botoolc
the train for Froinont county , where ho will
go back to his old job of following the plow ,

apjiolntcd nt the recent convention of the
Afro-American Press association called upon
President Harrison today and'presentod ' an
address urging the appointment of a colored
man on the world's ' fair commission , and
"also a capable negro luilst to fill n placet on
the bench of the fodtnl judiciary. " The
addtess says In part : "Our national pro
gress his been ranld In nil di
rections. Many millions in mouoy
are the vaiuo of products of
negro labor ; tbo wealth of many
great states has been created by his toll , nnd
the staplca of \astrozlon of the republic
which load ourch.imber < , bless our tables
and furnish material for factories to work
are the result of pttlcnco and the Industry of
the class In whoso behalf wo * penk Bellov-
Ing In > oJr sincere dcsiie to extend Impirtial
treatment to nil classes.o \ respectfully invite -
vito your excellency to consider tbo propri
ety of placing some one of this class ,
so peculiarly Illustrative of tlio nation's
progress. In a representative and prominent
position In connection vlth the world's fair.
In nmnv states of the union as well as In our
national congress the leg-ill status of the
American nccro Is still u natter of serious
discussion and legislation. That ho nny bo
clothed with power to speak for himself uitli
authority , tha' the old tlmo Idea of fair play
may prevail , which prants to the peers or the
accused the right to voice in judgment , wo
beseech thatjou will consider the merits of
a number of able jurists who belong to the
people no represent In tbo judicial appoint
ments wlilchwo understand will be made in
the near futuro. "
The president in response said that so fur
as a position on the world's fair commission
Has concerned there vuro no vacancies , and
if one were to occur the alternate would 1111
the place. If It bt came possible , however ,
to do an\ thing and a proper man was pre
sented no would mnko the appointment ,
Speaking with rufcremo to the request that
n coloied man bo appointed to the bench , the
president asked if the delegation bad a man
Avbo was thoroughly -\crsed in law
nnd had nrrhctl at that eminence
In praetlco which would entitle
him to fill an appointment as
clieultjudgc. "Present the name of apood
man"s.iid , the president , "and I will clvo It
that consideration which its importance do-
When the committee told the president
that there -\\ero n number of that class among
tbo race who > e names would be presented to
him with the endorsement of the bar in the
state In which they practiced , ho advised
that their names bo sent in , and promised to
consider tncm Impartially.
Tholntenlow was -very pleasant , the presi
dent inviting the conimlttco to call again ,
and thinking the negro press convention for
the kindly remembrances of his endeavors to
act fairly by the race.
