HARRY HAYWARD PRONOUN CED GUILTY OF THE DEED. - ... The Young Real Rotate Speculator and Gambler Held to Hare Been Reapona* Ible for the Murder of the Dreoemaker. Caroline Glng—Rod of a Long' and Sensational Criminal Trial—’Hayward Yerr Mucb Disappointed. Harry Hayward Guilty. Minneapolis, Minn., March 1). - Conrt opened un hour earlier than usual this morning to give Attorney Erwin for Harry Hayward time to oloso his argument for the defense which had already lusted two days. It took Judgo Seagruve Smith forty minutes to read his charge to the jury. He declared that the verdict must be guilty as charged or uot guilty. If the defendant was guilty, it was premeditated.! The judge's charge was perfectly satisfactory to both sides and no ex ceptions were noted. Harry Hayward placed a bet of 910 that the verdict would be acquittal and that it would be reached inside of two hours Shortly after 2 o’clock the jury sent word to the judge that it was ready to render its yerdioL Huy ward, was brought into court, while a great crowd gathered in and about the building. As soon as order was se cured the jury rendered a verdict of guilty of murder in the, first degree. A poll of the jury was demanded, and without hesitation each man an swered “guilty.” Up to the time that the verdict was read John Day Smith and Shumaker, counsel for the defense, expressed the greatest confidence in acquittal. Hall, the assistant county attorney, movod for immediate sentence, but owing to the absence of Mr. Erwin, the leader of the defense, sentence was postponed until Monday morning at 10 o'clock. A cooler man than narry Hayward under Bueh circumstanccsncver lived. His dress was as careful as usual and he walked coolly to the chair he had occupied' for seven weeks. That he anticipated what the verdict was to be seemed apparent in the angry manner in which he threw his hat on the attorney’s table. The force was so great that a rent was made in the crown. His attorneys warned him to be calm. The only persons present besides the judge and clerks when the verdict was handed in were police officers, the sheriff and deputies and reporters. Outside a great mob awaited the news anxiously. Late on the nigh of December 2 the body of Miss Catherine Ging, a pros perous dressmaker of this city, was found on a lonely road in the suburbs with a bullet hole in the head. The case was at first a mystery. Then Harry Hayward, aped CO, a real estate speculator and gambler, it was learned, had secured an insurance of #7,000 on the womans life in return for money loaned to her. Claus A. Blixt, engineer of the flats in which Hayward roomed, was also under sus picion. The latter was arrested and confessed the crime, declaring that he was forced by young Hayward to murder the woman. Adry Hayward, brother of the accused, corroborated Blixt in part. The trial began seven weeks ago and was sensational throughout BIDS $36,000 FOR THE MILL. The Kremlin, Ok., Sporting Club Wants the Big Fight. Kansas Citv, Mo., March 9.—G. Wilhelm, president of the Kremlin, Ok., sporting club,( writes that he is authorized by the Kremlin sporting club and the citizens of that town to offer a purse of #35,090 for the Corbett Fitzsimmons fight. This is a raise of #10,000 over the Perry bid, and Guth rie and other territorial towns are yet to bo heard from. The sports of Oklahoma territory seem to be posi tive that the council now in session at Guthrie will pass the bill permit ting glove contests that was passed by the house last week, and that, if the governor does not sign the bill, he will not veto, but permit it to be come operative without his signature. untvi ■ ■ A plasterer living near London frilled his wife and their six children and committed suicide.

The Special Donas Committee on Depree* •lea Make* a Ulmetalllo MeporL Washington, March 0.—The major* Ity of the special committee of the, house appointed to inquire into the causes of the prevailing' agricultural depression has prepared a report in which it says: “It is unnecessary for the committee to enter into or dwell upon the fact that agriculture is de pressed in every branch of this im portant industry, that the values of land and farms, unless under excep tionally rare conditions, have depreciated steadily as the pui-chasing power of the dollar has in creased. liut, while the values of the property owned by the Amerloan farmers have decreased in thirty years from uearly one-half the total wealth in 1800 to less than one-fourth in 1800, of which thirty per cent Is now under mortgage, taxes have steadily increased and debts now re quire four times the labor that was then required. The purchasing capacity of the dollar to seoure the farmer’s land and his produce has in creased four-fold, while the power to pay his taxes and debts have remain ed at a standstill, In 1873 wheat sold at from 91.05 to 83.85 per bushel, ac cording to Spofford’s almanac; in New York, iu 1804, it sold at fifty cents. “The remedy lies in remedial legis lation and until that is secured relief will not come permanently. To se cure relief we suggest: First, that silver should be remonetized at the ratio of 18 to 1; second, that so long as the present unjust and unequal system of protection continues agri culture should receive its just propor tion and as this cannot be secured by a protective tariff, that a bounty on exported agricultural staples should be allowed, similar to that on fish in 1813 und for which John C. Calhoun voted; third, that gambling in futures should be prevented by laws; fourth, that a national pure food law should be enacted.” A minority report is being pre pared. MR. CANNON’S FIGURES. Ha Finds That ths late Congrats Ap propriated Over •1,000,000,000. Washington, March 0.—Representn atlve Cannon of Illinois, on behalf of the Republican minority of the house committee on appropriations, has pre pared a summary showing the total expenditures of the Fifty-third con gress and comparing them with the expenditures of the so-called “billion dollar congress," in which Mr. Cannon was at the head of the appropriation committee. The statement will bo published as a part of the Con gressional Record. the appropriations cf the Fifty-first congress, when Mr. Iteed was speaker of the house, and the president and the senate were Republican, were, in round numbers, $038,000,000, while the appropriations of the Fifty-sec ond congress, when the hquse was Democratic and Mr. Crisp was speaker, was, in round numbers, $1,037,000,000. and the appropriations of this con gress, with president, house and senate all Democratic, are in round numbers $990,000,000. Moreover, the late sale of the thirty year 4 per cent United States bonds—the payment of interest upon which is permanent— swells the total appropriations for this and the next'fiscal year by $3,900,000, making tile grand total actually appropriated by this con gress, in round numbers, $993,000,000. This exceeds the appropriations made by the Fifty-first congress, called by our Democratic friends ‘the billion dollar congress,’ in round numbers by $5,000,000. “This congress, furthermore, in addition to the actual increase of ap propriations, has authorized public work to be done under contract, leav ing the next congress to make appro priations therefor, as follows: Ity fortification act, $335,000; bv sundry civil act, $0,385,000; by District of Columbia act, $361,704; by naval as pronriation act, $14,715,000; total, $21,4)80,7.-,;. “Thus the appropriations and au thorizations of this congress are seen to be.in round numbers.$l,015,000,000. CHARLES A. DANA INDICTED.

Dana, editor, and William M. Lallan, publisher of the New York Sun. It is a formidable document of many pages, setting forth the mali cious motives of Messrs.

The indictment is the out growth of the troubles between the United Press and Associated Press. REVOLUTION IN HAYTL fbe Outbreak Extending 8tendlIy--Two of Illppoljte’e Minuter* Flee. Kingston, Jamaica, March 9.—It is reported here that the revolution in the republic of Hayti begun in the north has extended already to the south. The Haytian exiles, who have been living in Jamaica awaiting for a chance to overthrow Hippolyte, are preparing to leave. Ilayti's minister of war. General Adelson Verne, has fled to San Domingo. This makes two members of the cabinet who have deserted President Hippolyte in this crisis. Financial Minister Fouchard being the first to go after a bitter quarrel. Washington, March 9.—Secretary Morton says there will be no distri bution of seeds to drought sufferers in Oklahoma, Kansas and other states, although both houses adopted an amendment to the sundry civil bill appropriating 8300.000 for that purpose. According to .Secretary Mor ton, Mr. Cleveland notified the con ference committee that he would veto the bill if this provision re mained in it, and it was therefore sur reptitiously stricken out, a thing which the conferrees clearly had no right to do, as both houses had agreed to~it, but which was done neverthe less. THE MONETARY DBLEQATES. FIt* of tho 111 Gkotra by Coagross Ik Favor of roll Btmatallltia. Washington, March 7.—Tho ton* ntora and members chosen by con gress as the representatives of their respective houses on the proposed in ternational monetary commission luivo so far very indefinite ideas as to what will be expected of them. Advocates of free silver will con stitute a majority of tho commission from tills country as five of tho six already chosen hold views favorable to Independent free coinage. The delegation will not bo complete untU the president shall select tho othoi members whose appointment Is left to him. If these three should all be opposed to free coinage under exist ing conditions in this country, ns Mr. Hitt Is, the commission would still stand five to four for free colnago. Tho personnel of the eoramission.so far as formed, is striking. The men selected have been In publlo life for many years, and all have distin guished themselves suffciently to make national reputations. Mr. Cul-< berson entered the Forty-fourth eon- ’ gress, Mr. Hitt the Forty-seventh aud Mr. Crisp the Fiftlotli, and all have served continuously since. Mr. Cul berson is chairman of tho committee on judiciary, and Mr. Hitt is ex-chair man of the committee on foreign re lations. Mr. Hitt also served as as sistant secretary of state before entering the house,and was for seven years first secretary charge d'aifairs of the American legation in Paris. (Senator Teller entered the senate In 1878, Senator Jones of Arkan sas in 1887 and (Senator Daniel in 1887. These .three stand upon the same footing with regard to silver. Sofia tor Jones is a leading member of the committee on finance, and was prom inently indontitied with the tariff contest of the last session. Senator Daniels is a man of learning and Is recognized as ono of the leading lawyers and orators of the senate. Representatives Crisp and Culberson are both silver advocates, but are conservative on that question. There is little doubt, however, that they will stand for ail that can be had for silver in case the conference is held. Mr. Hitt is classed as a bimetallist, and is understood to believe thorough ly in tho rehabilitation of silver, pro vided it can be obtained by an inter national agreement. All of the members of the com mission are lawpers except Mr. Hitt, and all except Messrs. Teller and Hitt served on tliu Confederate side during the rebellion. THE CASTELLANES SAIL. Off for Korops on th* American Liner New York—Crowds on Hand. New York, March 7.—About fifty people were gathered about the sa loon passenger gangway of the Amer ican line pier to-day when one of the Gould carriages came rapidly down the dock and the Count de Castellano stepped out and assisted his bride to alight. The countess wore a tan skirt, an astrakan jacket with a yel low rose at her waist, a small black hat and a black veil. The New York was overrun with people who were looking into every state room with the hope of being able to see the ones which the count and countess had engaged for the trip across. All had a good view of the newly made countess as she stood at the head of the companion stairway waiting for the count, who had stop ped below for a moment's talk with one of the ship's people. When he reached the countess’ side they passed quickly to their suite of rooms on the upper deck and remained there until tbn stnftmor hml II. J. Taylor Vindicated.

Neb Aestheticism In Bent. If once we come to know the charm that the open fire has to offer, and if once we realize its potency against muny ills, we will surely insist upon its presence, let the inventors end the ecououilsts offer what they will. For during tho long winter days, such as wo recently have undergone, it makes tho home so bright and cheerv os to ■ ■' ;’i •:y,; shut out even the thought of the dreary bleakness without. And when the spring opens, ahd even when the sum mer comes, it allows of just sufficient heat at eventide to chase away the dampness that is certain to be felt. It makes home a centre of warmth and in spiration. It chases away dull care. It invites the day-dreams that we all must love. It provokes imagination to play his jolliest pranks. It sends its influence forth and bids us hasten back that we may enjoy the good it has to offer. It acts as a magnet and draws the family close together. It promotes merry chat and harmless jest. It sug gests good homely games, and the young folks seek it out It becomes a centre of Attraction, and brings good friends to share its light and warmth. It makes a house a home in very truth; and, withal, it does more toward pro ducing that decorative effect that ap peals .to all Bathetic souls than does any other object to be obtained for the Barne, or even double, tbe essential ’ outlay.—Harper’s liazar. ;V.; M Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. A Bank' Failure. AN INVESTIGATION DEHANDED. A general banking business is done bjr the human system, because the blood de posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may gain front day to day. This wealth is laid up against “ a rainy day ” as a reserve fund —we’re in a condition of healthy prosperity if we have laid away sufficient capital to draw upon in the hour of our greatest need. There is danger in getting thin, because it’s a sign of letting down in health. To gain in blood is nearly always to gain in whole some flesh. The odds are in favor of the germs of consumption, grip* or pneumonia, if our liver be inactive and our blood im pure, or if our flesh be reduced below a healthy standard. What is required is an increase in our germ-fighting strength. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery enriches the blood anil makes it wholesome, stops the waste of tissue and at the same time builds Up the strength. A medicine which will rid the blood of its poisons, cleanse and invigorate the great organs of the body, vitalize the system, thrill the whole being with new energy and make permanent work of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But when we make a positive statement that 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption cau, if taken in the early stages of the disease, be CtJKEit with the ” Discovery,’’ it seems like: a bold assertion.
