CINCINNATI , Dec. 13. The greatest oroad
yet gathered in the corridors of the United
States court room , assembled this morning
long before tba time for the assembling of
the court. At 10 o'clock .ludgo Sage appeared
alone , the court was opened and n few min
utes later the Jury filed in. As soon as they
were seated Judge Sago nskcd if
they had agreed upon their ver
dict , mid tlio foi uman said they
had. The Judge directed the clerk to
received it. At this point Blackburn called
the court's attention to the absence of the
'
defendant. ' 'Let him be brought in , " said
the judge. In two minutes the marshal en-
tcied followed by Harper , looking pale mid
concerned. Behind him came his wife ami
her sister. When they were seated the clerk
took the sealed envelope inclosing the sen
tence , tore it open and lead the fatal words :
"Wej the. Jury , find the defendant guilty us
charged in the Indictment. " This meant
guilty on all thiity-thrco counts left
for the Jury to act upon. Hlack-
burn moved the arrest of Judgment ,
which the coin t Instantly overruled. Then
tlie district attorney , Burnett , moved for im
mediate senteni'o and that the sentence be
cumulative , .ludgo Sago overruled the mo
tion and asked if the defendant had anything
to say before the sentence was pronounced
upon him. Blackburn rose and said thut the
defendant wished to speak thiough him , and
say that ho. had nothing to add to what had
been said , ovoept to thank the court for Its
fair ami linJMrtial treatment , nnd
to ask that the couit be us merci
ful as circumstances and law would
permit. At 10:3."i : the court directed Harper
to stand up. Thu strong nnm stood erect
with teais coursing do\\n his cheeks , but
no other sign of of emotion. Behind his
chair with bowed head sat his wife in agony
that hud no better manifestation than wring
ing of her hands. The court recited the
usual form of sentence , saying the evidence
left no doubt of thu dutnndant's guilt , and
that the offense Mnoi-itcd tlio highest
penalty of the law , which the
couit would now impose. Ten years
in the Ohio penitentiary and that the nuushal
convey him thither at once.
Harper sat down , turning to his wife their
lips met , her hands went around his neck ,
ills arms encompassed her. The silence in
the court room was awful : The jurors wept.
Women and men all over the court room
were in tears. Tlie silence was broken by
Blackburn making n last request of
the couit , that was that the
order for immediate imprisonment be
suspended , as there was much business to bo
attended to by Harper in which his wife was
closely concerned , and it would bo cxcceel-
ingly difficult to attend to it unless Harper
could remain here for a few days. .ludgo
Sago said there would bo an opportunity for
his wife to sco him nt Columbus mid ho repeated -
peate-d the order to the nuushal to convey
him thither to-day.
1 he jury was then discharged , and the
marshal conducted the defendant to tie |
marshal's ofllce. i
At 4 o'clock this afternoon Harper was
taken to the penitentiary at Columbus.

Though Badly Wounded lie Still He-
to Surrender.
Dr.Nvr.it , Cor. , Dec3 , ; [ Special Telegram
to the Bur. . ] The excitement at Denver and
the eastern portion f the state over the
bloody work of \\\o \ \ \ desperado Newt Vorco
during the pas\fow diys , has reached a fever
heat. Since hl escapade at Deer Trull a few
days since , whop ho .dangerously wounded
Deputy Shci Iff Cuntley , particulars of which
wore wired the Br.K , Voroc has been n fugi
tive. After leaving Doer Trail ho went to
leaver Itnnch * whcro" lie stole a horse mid
liiick for the open prairie. The officers
clng in i-losc pursuit , ho made but few stops ,
ut these wore at ranches which Intervened
etwccn the Mill Iron nnd Cuttle company's
ropcrty nnd the Brocdcimnu place. Finally
*
Is trail was struck , and jestcrday morning
owns seen making direct for the "L. H.
J. " dug out. This place ho i cached late
the afternoon , Deputy Slier-
llolllngsworth ami his men
vcrc In hot pwsuM , so close in fact , that
vhen Vorco disappeared in the dug-out , the
lorse which he had been riding was sei/ed by
lollingsworth. Vorco still retained his
voapons. The dug-out Is a portion of a
astily erected structure about thirty feel in
cngth cut Into the side of a knoll and within
i few feet of Muddy creek. The south por-
lon is occupied by .tho man us n kitchen or
louse proper. A partition seperatcs this
rom the dug-out und is filled up with bunks
nto .which .tho men roll for sleep und rest.
L'hu officers culled upon Voreo to como out
md surrender , but receiving no reply stir-
oundi'd thu place , thinking this wus the
Busiest way to secure their roan. Vorco had
evidently punched * y hqjtftn the side of the
lug-out for no sooneiti ! f the posse como
ivithln range than th Almrp crack of n rillu
vus heard and Gay Hollingsworth , brother of
he deputy , rolled down the bank of the creek a
corpse.
As the desperado fired the officers returned
t , and for several minutes heavy firing wi.s
( opt up. The body of the dead officer was
e'covered , and will be shipped to Browning ,
111. , to-morrow. TcH'grams were at once
sent to Denver for assistance , and messengers
started for different ranches to get ull thu uid
tossiblo , witli the determination of capturing
Vonee dead or nlivo. Four deputies loft
icro to-night , to bo Joined by four others at
Deer Trail , and if they find it impossible to
got Vorco to surrender , un attempt will bo
nadu to se-t the dug out on tire mid burn him
out. While the officers were watching the
| ilace this afternoon u man came out of the
rear door und sturtedtowm-dsCorona. After
lie hud gone a quarter of u mile hu was over
taken by un officer , who ee > voreel him with a
Winchester und cominanded him to halt and
: ell his business. The man , who o numo was
Frost , plcadeel to bo allowed to go
on saying he was on his way to get a physi
cian for Vorce , who hud his thigh badly shut-
tei cd in tliu fight last night and was unable to
stand or ride. Ho also stated that the dug
out in which thu outlaw had taken refuge was
occupied by Mr. mid Mrs. Foster , who were
compelled to admit Vc-rco and four compan
ions who came with him. They have about
two weeks' supply of provisions and the
chances of starving them out arc discourag
ing. Thu ranchmen are determined to riel
Iho country of this gang of horse and cattle
thieves which Vorce toads. Ho , however , is
so securely barricaded that , unless ho con
sents to surrender , his capture without more
bloodshed is extremcydoubtful. )

inmense crowd as thronged Leinster hall to-
light , Inside and outside , hulling the debut of
stilllvan. Over the vestibule was "V. H. , "
but on the platform "P. U. " The crowd out-
Ido was the largest and whenever In the
nsido the crowd applauded or cheered the
mtsldcrs echoed it without hnow-
ng what or wherefore. Nationalists ,
Orangemen , unionists , Protestants , Catho-
'ics , ull met on a common ground of pugilism ,
. 'red Gallagher , in u llttlo Hpeech , Introduccel
Sullivan , saying in substance : Hero Is an
\merieun-Irishmuu in whom all feel Just
; > rido. Although a stranger in person ho is
none In fact , because thoroughly Irish-bred.
I wus not John's mistake that ho was born
beyond the confines of the Emerald Isle. I
now introduce him as the unbeaten
and unbeatable John L. Sullivan. "
Almost each worel was emphasi/ed by
cheers but as the "big man" fairly looked up
Hid out like a Venetian statue suddenly seen
, n n misty picture by Turner , tlie cheers
row stentorian amid cries of "Hurrah lor
America , " and "Tho Hoston Boy Forever. "
The delight manifested is best expressed by
lie word yells. These scorned to stagger
Sullivan. They appeared to bo blows upon
lis orators trap. Hut recovering himself , ho
thus struck out boldly with his rhetoric :
"Ladies and Gentlemen : I thank you
very heartily for this unexpected kind of a
reception. 1 hope I shall always deserve it.
My parents were of this country. I have al
ways tried to bo a chip of the old block. I
have the same sentiments toward Ireland
which you have. I do not come to boast , but
: eave you to judge for yourselves. After this
Irish tour 1 shall go back to Knglund
to prepare to meet the best man it
: ms to bring against me. I hope
before I revisit you the Englishman and I
shall meet Inside a twenty-four foot , ring and
; et the public Judge which is the better man.
If ho beats me this sentence was greeted
with a chorus of "never , never" I shall still
extend him the right hand of fellowship. If
I beat him" shall expect the same. "
This brought forth more cheers and cries
such us "An1 you will John , darling. "
Mr. Phillips , his backer , was then Intro
duced , whoso genial looks induced fresh
cheers for the manager , with whom , on his
simply bowing his thanks , several on the
platform heartily shook hands of welcome
with him.
There were then some amateur contests as
appetizers for the piece do resistance to fol
low , during which Prince Edward Saxc
Weinas , commander of the forces in Ireland ,
entered uccoinpanicel by Cuutain Orr , adju
tant to the lord lieutenant , and two members
of his staff , which evoked alternative hisses ,
boo-hos and huzias , according to the feelings
of the partisans in the audience , but all in a
chaffing spirit. This , however , was stopped
by polite Mr. Phillips , who , with Mr.
Gallagher , then in sight of the audience ,
introduced Sullivan to the prince commander ,
who , following the example of the Prince of
Wales , shook Sullivan heartily by the hand
and accompanied tlio latter to the dressing-
room. There the prince commander told
Sullivan IIQ had sedulously followed the lat-
tcr's record ami it was a pleasure to meet
the owner of it and to wish him good luck in
his proposed fight.
Not long uttcrwurds Sullivan , who had
exchanged his evening dress for his ring
costume , was nguin tumultuously cheered ,
and Ashton was greeted with three cheers
for the American. Sullivan wore green
tights in compliment to thu Emerald Isle
audience.
Four rounds were given , of two minutes
each. These did not differ in method nnil
form from previous ones described hitherto
from London , but those present who saw the
Aquarium performnnco sniel that to-night's
performance showed more ncrvo and spirit.
A comparison was immediately made between
Sullivan's method in finesse und Smith's ,
who bus also been here , and much to Sulli
van's advantage , probably bcaiuso of Hiber
nian sympathy.
During the rounds n chorus of animating
cries were kept up : "Qivc it to him , John ; '
"Now walk in , Ashton , " etc. If any came to
doubt they remained to Join in unanimity and
praise1.
At the close Sullivan returcd thanks
briefly , said kind words for Ashton , and pres
ently went to his hotel surrounded by an
admiring crowd , which , however , a pouring

LONDON , Dec. 12. [ New York Herald
Cablu Special to the Hun. ] The contro
versy whether Lord Lyons lived us well as
died n Catholic , or wus unduly proselyted ,
having reached thu press here , both secular
and religious , I sought tills morning Father
Godwin at Brompton oratory , a friend of the
Duke of Norfolk , und nil the Howard family.
He was shown copies of thu European edi
tion wherein Chaplain Gill of the British
embassy had raised thu question. After
reading these Father ( Jill impressively said :
"I know Lorel Lyons well , and also his sister -
tor , mother , the present Duke of Norfolk and
all the Howard family. Lord Lyons has been
a protostunt ull bis long life until
within the present your. Ho boo.imo
a convert to Catholicism , but what
wonder ! One of his sister's children ,
Lady Minim Charlotte Howard , is a nun , mid
another , Lady Etheldra Howard , Is a sister
of charity. His sister became a Catholic
xnvarel her end , and on her death bed , not
long ago , had a serious interview with him
urging him to obtain that peace In the
'hurcli which she enjoyed. I know this pro-
luccd a great effect on his mind , and he
) egan to study our faith and attend our
church. During thu last two months ho
ilmost dally attended mass publicly , either
it the Warwick street or Corpus Christ !
churches. His nieces , tlio Ladies How
ard , were also his Instruotors in
our tenets. When the sublect of
ing formally received into our
church was broached to him a few weeks bo-
foru his stioku of paralysis , ho said , with a
reverent modesty : ' 1 fear I am not good
enou'ghyct for that.1 But If he had lived in
health a few weeks longer , that blessed event
would have publicly occurred. I was called
to thu Norfolk house at thu timu thu stroke
llrst occuircd. I heard his secretary and
friend , Mr. Sheffield , ask him would ho like
to sec the Catholic bishop of Southwark. He
was then speechless from the stroke , but
sensible , and I saw him nod an assent. When
the bishop nrriveel wo all "left them alone.
The prolutu propouneled many questions as to
the faith mid feeling , to which ho responded
by intelligent looks and ufllrmtivu nods.
Shortly afterwards we wore summoned back ,
anil I assisted the bishop in n conditional bap
tism of Lord Lyons. I nm satisfied thut he
wus sensible of all that occurred. I am sur
prised at the duubt uxprSsscd for he went to
muss regularly. Tills w.is first fully known
by a housemaid of thu Norfolk house recog
nizing him umong the kneeling worshippers ,
rich und poor alike , at the Warwick street
church. "
Your correspondent next sought Father
Pin-cell , resident priest in charge of Coi pus
Christ ! chapel , Covcnt garden. Ho said :
"Each Sunday that Lord Lyons was in Lon
don after ho quilted Paris ho came hero at 10.
a. m. to low mass. The first I knew of
this was' from the man who took
charge of the offertory coming to mo with
reference to an elderly gentleman placing a
sovereign In tlio bean unusual incident for
a chuich mainly ficquontcd in this district by
humbler classes. The next time hu came ho
was pointed out to another father , who
recognised him as Lent Lyons. Each Sunday
ho left us the sarnc practical proof ot his at
tendance bjkphicing a sovereign in the poor
box. llo camu and went unobtrusively and
unattended nnd without making himself
known. On the day of his death the two
Ladies Howard , his nieces , came here asking
our prayers for him , and saying how
gratified they were that ho had attended
mass. 1 have a letter to the same effect from
the Duke of Norfolk. It seems a shnmo that
some newspapers should say wo Catholics
look advantage of Lord Lyons' unconscious
state to proselyte him. I feel cortuin ho had
been a Catholic believer long before his ill
ness. 1 remember being at the Irish cottage
in Paris at the time of tliu Jesuit expulsion ,
when Lord Lyons said if any of them wanted
a home they could como to his house and find
it. Certainly these und other matters seem
to prove old sympathies with Catholics as u
ground work of his later faith.

round fight with hard gloves between Tommy
Warren , American champion featherweight ,
mid Ike Weir , ox-champion featherweight ,
diew un enormous orowd to the rink this
evening. Weir weighed In nt HT,1 , and
Wairen HO'/ ' . Both men appeared in fine
condition , but Weir wus a slight favorite In
the betting. John Barnes , manager of the
St. Paul base ball club , was chosen roferco
by Mayor Amos , and time was called at U:23. :
Two-ounce gloves were used.
Weir drew Hi.st blood in thu first round ,
landing his right on Warren's nose. Wnricn
countered on his neck.
In the foil i tb Warren landed heavily on
Weir's chest.Hourly lifting him from his
feet. After a few heavy body blows had
boon exchanged , Weir lauded heavily on
Warrcn'sV'ft eye , and followed with u light
ono on thu shoulder , slightly staggering him.
From this time to the tenth found honors
wore nearly even , although Weir got in ono
or two mine blows on Warren's ' face , druw-
ng more blood.
The tenth round showed Weir was the
'rcshor man. Warren showed the effects of
ns punishment. Weir got in his loft on
Warren's chest , but in Ihoe-llnch was thrown
o the floor. On thu whole huliad thu best of
the round.
Light lighting followed until the thirteenth
round , in which tliero wore two clinches , in
which much short arm digging in thu ribs
was indulged in. Warren showed badly
swollen lips and two heavy dark oyos.
There seemed little doubt of the result in
the fifteenth. Wolr was seemingly as fresh
us in thu beginning , while Warren needed
wind badly. Several heavy blows were
given on both sides.
In the sixteenth Weir got in two more on
Warren's damaged nose. Warren retaliated
lightly.
In tlio seventeenth Warren received nn
upper cut on the chin and returned with his
loll on Weir's oliook. Weir got in a vicious
one em Wai ron's Jugular and rushed.
Weir opened the nineteenth with his left
on Warren's chin , then put it on Warren's
nose , starting blood again. Ho now rushed
his man , finding Warren's bitlised face when
ever lie wished.
Thu twentieth and last round found War
ren terribly punished , both eyes nearly
closed , lips swollen , mid nOse bleed
ing. Weir was without a mark ,
lie forced things , but Warren
ste > od up gamely and took several on thefiico.
Then ho seemed to recover and landed heav
ily on Weir's e\vo , eliin and neck. Weir re
taliated with ono on the ne-ek and followed Ifc
with another on thu ribs , which nearly
knocked Weir off his feet. Warren then got
in heavily on Weir's neck , und the latter
countered once more on the damaged nose.
Time was called and the fight declared by
the referee to be a draw. A great uproar
followed. Weir's backer wants to mutch hls >

the five-story building of Phclps , Dodge &
Palmer , boot and shoo manufacturers , lo
cated in the heart of the business portion ot
tlio city. The fire spread rapidly nnd the
large building was se > on a mass of ( lames.
Tlio building adjoining , occupied by Gimbcl
llros. , hat and cap manufacturers , wus soon
burning , and the general offices ol the Chl-
oago , Hurlingtcin t Quincy railroad , and the
enormous now building of Marshall , Fold &
Co. , dry goods , were badly scorched. A high
wind was blowing from the southwest and
myriads of large , ihiming cinders were car
ried as far ii the north side of the river at
Clark street , dropping in great quantities
about the city anil county buildings. For a
time it was feared that the fire would con
sume the entire square to the south and east
of tlio starting point , but u U o'clock it was
partially under control.
