JUDGE BUENTANO'S WORDS ,
"Patrick Eugene Prendergast , It rare

"I do not think I can bo fairly subJecU
to the crltlclHin that I did not allow you tl

the defense made for you , and you wei
given the benefits of all presumptions whlc
the law says you are entitled to h.ivo. Di
BpilO all this jou have been found guilty I

pies of law and evidence governing trials <
this kind.
"Possibly n largo part of this commnnlt
would , for the sake of the reputation <
this great city upon whom the eyes of tli
world wore at llio tlmo riveted , havn bee
comforted If the verdict of the Jury had ei
tabllshed the fact that your act was that (
a mentally Irresponsible person , but Iho n

you were acting under an Insane deluslo
which Irrcslsllbly Impelled you lo the coir
mission of llio act which you did not illi

not the power to exorcise control. The Jur
has found that when you committed the nc
you fully understood It and Its consequence :
and thai you might have controlled your ac

own misguided will was the solo Impulse I
the commission of llio deed.
"No Imaginary Inspiration lo do a persons

"Situated as you are I would not say any

"I did nol wish to apologize to the courl , fo

During the course of his remarks Premier
gast was apparently In a very nervous con
dltfon. Ills hands shook and as ho occasion
ally turned his eyes from Ihe court am
glared about the room It was evident 111 :
nerves were strung to Ihe hlghcsl lenslon
Occasionally ho would stop to glance at thi
paper In his hands to read Ihe noles 01

prepared in advance. Just before Judgi
Ilrcntano began Iho delivery of his speed
denying the motion for a now trial Attorney
S. S. Gregory flled a motion for arrest o ;

asked for thirty days In which to ( Ho a bll

dcrgast was sentenced lo hang subsequenllj

could extend the lime and fix a now dali

During his speech Prondcrgast mumblei
his words so that ho could bo scaicely un
derstood , and ho was unsteady on his feel
end swerved from side to side like a drunker
man. His voice was sometimes loud am !
clear , but often it sank into an inarticulate
grumble.
Judge Brenlano was much affeclcd by the
nwful duty Hmposed upon him , fend he
Boomed to suffer much mental pain while
Prondergast was delivering his speech. Only
by great effort did ho retain sufficient con

words put Into his mouth by the law , and
It was with n trembling voice he finished
his address to the condemned man.
WINO'S OrOSNl AI
Trial of Unit Couglilln is Xoiv Xc
ItH 1.11(1.
CHICAGO , Feb. 21. Rx-Judgo Wing be
gan the closing argument for the defense
In the Couglilln trial today. The court room
, \vaa tlironned with spectalors , and the ad-
idress was a nolablo one. Judge Wing vic
iously attacked the methods of the prosccu %
tlon , and referring to the Incident of the
former trial , when ox-State's Attorney
LongonecKcr called Mrs. Thomas Wlmlon up
nt midnight for a severe examination , said
that Whalen should have shot the assailant
down In his tracks.
During the afternoon there was somewhat
of a sensation when Judge Tulhlll sharply
called Allornoy Wing to order for reflections
on the original trial court. U was a
reference to Martin Burke , one of these
convicted with Coughlln , and who died In
the penitentiary lust year. Attorney Wing
speaking of him said : "Gentlemen , Martin
Uurko was murdered , I should hate to bo
charged by the Great Judne of all with the
murder of that man ns are llio mun who
tried and convlclcd him. "
"I don'l think you are entitled to bay
that , Judge Wing , " broke In- the court ,
stopping the flood of the attorney's wrathful
eloquence. "Thoso men wcro tried and
convicted according to the laws of the coun
try , and I canot sit hero and have the i til
ings of my brother Judge condemned In this
way. "
Judge Wing , though surprised nt the In
terruption of tho" court , replied quickly :
"But , jour honor , the supreme court of the
ntato reversed the derision tinder which
O'Sulllvan and IHirko died In prison "
"I know that , " said Judge Tuthlll. "hut
there are many such Instances as that. The
mipromo court hold that there was error In
the record and Dial's all there was to It.
The case was tried by Judge McConnall
fairly and honestly , according to hla Ideas
of the lav.anil you have no right to ques
tion the Integrity of the court. "
"But , " said Wlug , "wilt your honor hold
that Martin Burke has pleaded guilty In this
case , an Mr , Scanlan has contended. ' "
"No , I have nothing to say about that , "
replied the courl.
"No , " repeated the attorney , "whether
Martin llurko stands before jou guilty or
not Is neither hero nor thero. Wo ask you
to decldo whether or not Daniel Coughlln la
guilty. Martin Burlvo has gone where you
cannot help him. Patrick O'Sulllvan has
Kouo whcro jou can help him. "
Mr. Wing than resumed his argument and
had not concluded when couit adjourned.

the use of the line of the plaintiff botwec
Lincoln and Beatrice and the bridge at :
Iracks of llio Union Pacific company In
Iweon Omaha and South Omaha and tl
handling of freight for and out of the cltli

In connection with the expected war (

Barstow and Los Angeles to and from Sn

Pursuant to the agreement the Souther
Pacific gave notice on November 23 of

Under the agreement the Southern Paclfl
claims for itself and Its connections at Ogdc
and Portland the reciprocal rights to tlckol
al the through rate by direct lines froi
Chicago lo Los Angeles through San Frar
Cisco , and vice versa. "This , " says Mi
Goodman , "the Alcblson denied and Ihreal
ens If such right Is exercised that It will re

The Colorado Central , which Includes th <

commanded by Lieutenant Commander Wl
lam J. Scullard , arrived yesterday at Iln
hurst , capital of the British West Afrlci
colony of Gambia , and the rumor soon sprci
that the sailors had been badly handled
an encounter with the slavers.
It appears that landing parties had bei
sent ashore In order to punish Chief Kodta
Ian , a notorious slave dealer , who had bei
carrying off Into bondage and severly 11
treating the helpless natives of a number
villages along the part of the coast which 1
rules over. The Hrjtlsh sailors landed
force and marched Inland , where they m
with a severe reverse , losing three olllce
and ten men killed and four wounded.
Dispatches fiom Uathurst received th
evening say that the marines landed fro
the war ships and a detachment from
West India regiment are stilt missing , at
fears are entertained for their safety.
The force of blue Jackets which landed \ \ \
composed of men from both the flagsh
Haleigh and the gunboat'Widgeon. . Tl
landing parties went ashore fully cqulppc
for a march Inland and for remaining ushoi
for some time. Several machine guns \\ei
taken ashore In the boats and the landlr
parties carried provisions for four days an
an ample supply of ammunition. A rcsen
force was left ashore at the landing plac
which \\as thoroughly protected by the gur
of the cruiser and the gunboat.
After the blue Jackets and marines hti
landed the column began Its march tnlani
but owing to the nature of tha countr
which the naval detachments had to pas
through , swampyland , thick underwood an
forest land , the advance party and the Hani
Ing parties were soon compelled to pract
sally fall back upon the main column , \\hlc
pushed forward In this manner for the Ir
lerlor.

NI2W YORK , Feb. 21. It was known thn
Jim Corbott would not bo at the Mndlso
Square garden until nearly midnight , bccatis
ho had to appear In "Qentlenmn Jack" I
Harlem , but there was n crowd of 1,000 pec
plo around the garden doors soon after dor
this evening , who wanted lo see the chain
plon and give hint ono more greeting , Thi
wish was enhanced by the knowledge thn
James Jvas to put up his hands at th
same tlmo thai Charlie Mitchell presents
his , In a scene that was , according 'to th
management's promise , to bo a reproductlo
of surroundings In a certain recent scene a
Jacksonville.
The show had been arranged by the Nc\
York World to augment thai paper's , frc
bread fund , and a line program had bee
ai ranged. Boxing bouls comprised th
majority ot the numbers , but the strong men
such as Attlla , who has given Corb tt th
points on how lo got strong and stay so
wrestlers like Muldoon and Polhor and Hug ]
Leonard and Prof. B. A. McFadden of St
Louis , and broadsword scrappers like Duncai
C. Ross and Prof. Zarllml , were on the bill
Among the others announced were sovera
top notchcra In Ihelr rcspccllvo classes , In
eluding Iho kangaroo , who was down lo spa
Tom Tully , his dtiskj Australian compatriot
so there was no reason why there should no
have been n big croud.
Reason or not , the big , brilliantly llghtcc
arena held nearly C.OOO persons nl S o'clock
Of course all Iho "renular" sports wen
Ihore. Muldoon and Roobor wrestled It
Graeco-Homan st > le for len minutes with
out scoring a fall. The nexl was catch-as
catch-can between Hugh Lconaid , Instructoi
nl Ihe N. Y A C. and Prof B. A. McFaddci
of SI. Louis. This bout appeared to be or
the level. Leonard was Iho aggressor am
Iho cleverer He had Iho St. Louis mat
aloft several times , but ho could not accom
plish a fall within the ten minutes limit.
Two 105-pound New York lads , Jack Levj
and Casper Leon , went throuih Ihroo tiresome -
some rounds , and Ihcn the kangaroo did
his act with Tully Theio was laughtoi
over this. If nothing else.
A good go was looked for when Tommy
Ilyan of Chicago , the champion welter
weight , and Billy Vernon , the Ilaverstrav ,
N. Y , lightweight , were annuonced. Rjan
had the better ot the touching In the total ,
but In justice to Vernon It should be said
ho sparred with a broken thumb.
Duncan C. Ross , clad In armor , engaged
In a broadsword contest with F S. fostello
of Brooklyn , Prof , Zarllml , Iho Italian , hav
ing failed to show up. Ross easily scored
five body blows In succession.
George Dlxon got a rousing reception when
ho was Inlroduced lo spar Cddlo Loeber of
Brooklyn. They croalod Ihe first rousing
onlhiislasm of Ihe night. Loebor looked
scared and acted so when lie tool : the cen
ter , but afler a bll look coinage and hll Ihe
fcalherwelsht champion of the vvnrld a
couple of times and the mob at once lost Its
head. Loeber was cheered and told to go In
vigorous terms , and ho did try In the second
round and got more cheers. The third tound
was at all at mixing It up. Tour arms wcie
moving Incessantly during all the Ihrpo
minutes and C.OOO longues urged Iho Brook
lyn boy on. Loeber did very well , but when
the round was over ho was breathing hard ,
while Dlxon retired to his corner easily and
smilingly. But the si-outers were happy.
Corbett , in. pink shirt , white knicker
bockers and bine stockings , now mounted
the slago and Iho crowd received him roy
ally , but no more cordially than It did
Mitchell , who fought witn him. When
the men were Introduced they were again
cheered about equally , and John Kelly , Iho
Jacksonville referee , and Snapper Garrison ,
Ihe UmcKeeper , also came In for a whack
of Ihe applause. A speech was many times
demanded from the champion , but Jim
would only bow. The men sparred four
friendly and short rounds , during which
Mitchell was scarcely able to louch Cor
bott , nt close quarters. The Kngllshman
was repeatedly ndvlt > ed to "get an ax , " but
things went off smoothly.
Between the rounds Burl Burns yelled
ut Ihat Walter Campbell , the Philadelphia
132-pounder , had offered to spar young Grlffo

Tor the past two nights the northern
heavens have been furnishing n rare treat
for Iho lovers of celestial phenomena in n
magnificent display of the aurora boreal Is.
The first symptoms of the weird but beautiful
Illumination inako themselves manifest ns
early as S o'clock In n faint golden tlngo
along the horizon. From this until far Into
the night thu phenomenon fluctuates with In
creasing and decreasing brilliance , nt tlmei
reaching an Intensity of llghl Ihat to many
might bo qulto startling. Waves of filmy
light chase each other spasmodically to the
very zcnltli , nl limes blending Into ono
broad glare , and at others darting upward In
lurid , tremulous shafts and bars of multi
farious color. It Is n grand and Interesting
spectacle , ono at which the lovers of solar Cfe -
science can ca/e b > Iho hour without
growing weary of the sight.
This amoral exhibition vet icmalns la bo
clearly accounted for. although there nro
several Very plausible theories advanced It
Is seen at Its greatest luminosity In the high
latitudes of bolh the north and the south ,
but tlio display which Is alt lading attention
In this pill of the world Just now complies
well In point of the variableness ot Its cor-
uscallons and Intensity with that In the ox.
tremo south and far north , and Is a rcpetl-
llon ot Iho remarkable phenomena as seen
in Ihls lallludo last fall.
As to Ihe origin and cause of Ihe northern
lights , ns tlio aurora Is commonly called
here , the most plausible Is that of elec
tricity. It IH claimed Ihat It Is created by
the passage ot electric currents through
highly nttenuated nlr nl considerable dls-
lance from the earth. Tulegiaplidi com-
niunlcallous are affected ho frequently by
electric currents upon the wires ( luring the
continuance of an aurora that me-ssaKos fern
n llmo cannel bo setil. Occasionally , too.
Ihls auroral manifestation Is bo strong and
continuous thai U can bo utilized In dis
patching communications by wire from ono
point to another. Lately It has been au-
lliorltathcly asserted thai a maximum of
tlieso electric phenomena occur about once
In ten jears , and a short-lived period ot
marvelous brilliancy about once In slxly
> oars. Some physicists associate these
periods with the variations In llio Min's
spols and with the planetary rotations For
merly , It was the commonly accepted be
lief thai thin wondrous and beautiful spec
tacle was simply the reflection of the light
from various planetary bodies on the vast
urea of Ice nnd snow of thu cxlremo polar
regions. This , however , has been found to
bo an untenable theorj , us the farther north
rou go , Ihe grealer llio power and brilliancy \
it the Illumination. In any event. It Is
i bcenc of grandeur to bo enjoyed by all
students of nature , anil as It Is revealing
itself nt the present lime may nol bo scon
igaln for a long series of jears.

It is an agony of agonies.
A torture of tortures.
It is an itching and burning of the
