DIXON GOT THE DECISION.
New York, March 8.--The members of the
New York athletic club who attended the
fyouts brought off in the club rooms last
night had no reason to complain of lack of
amusement, as the fighting was of a very
lively nature throughout. There were four
'bouts on the programme before the prin-
cipal event.
At 11.20 o'clock George Dixon climbed
through the ropes, accompanied by
* > Kourke and Jimmy Connelly as seconds.
(Five minutes later Sam Rolen, the un-
known, a lo-ul colored pugilist, put in an
appearance. Dixon weighed 124 pounds and
[Rolen 118. In the tirst round Rolen got
twice to Dixon's body and stopped Dixon's
leads, in the second round he got in on
Dixon's jaw once. There is no other record
of his hitting Dixon, but he took much
punishment in the sixth round. In the
seventh round Dixon went at his man
savagely. Rlow after blow was rained on
Bolen's head, but Rolen was game. Dixon
lamled on the stomach and on the ear.
'Rolen stoofl up to him and lasted until the
gong ended the light. Dixon got the de-
cision.

MINERS' STRIKE.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 8.—There is little
change in the miners' strike in the Pitts-
burg district. The men are '.hold in v. > )• for
the 69 cent contract. Ten thousand men
•have been granted their demands and are
at work, but this is the case in only a few
mines running to supply the local demand.
It is now estimated that out of 20,000 min-
ers about 4000 have refused t<» go into the
strike. A dispatch from Wheeling says the
Pittsburg officials are at work there trying
to get trie miners to quit work and thus
shut off a source of supply. Thus far they
have not met with success, and it is proba-
ble that the miners of this district will
have to fight their battle alone.
II AY WARD FOUND GUILTY.
End of the Sensational Minneapolis Mur-
der Trial.
Minneapolis, Minn., March 8.—"Guilty as j
charged," that is the verdict received In j
NEWS FROM AUSTIN.
Another Call for Rpgistere^ War-
rants Reduces the Deficit
to $70,000,
the case of Harry Hayward, charged with
the murder of Miss Ging, to-day, and the
end of one of the most sensational murder i
trials ever held in this country, lasting
over seven weeks.
it has been a day of intense excitement
In the vicinity of the court house. There
was fear that if a verdict exonerating
llarry Hayward was returned a mob would
lynch him. Early In the morning of what,
was expected to be the concluding day of
the trial a great throng began to assemble ,
in and around the building at the hour
for convening the court and the corridors j
In the Case of the Water Company vs City of
Austin, a Verdict Is Rendered, Giving
the Water Company $25,538.
of the court house and all the neighboring
streets were crowded. Judge Smith or-
dered every one excluded from the room
except persons connected with the court
and press representatives. Counsel Erwin
concluded his argument in two hours.
Judge Smith charged the jury briefly. The
jury was given the case and the court took
a recess for dinner.
Harry Hayward, his life trembling in the
scales, was the coolest individual in the
room. When the court reconvened after
dinner the jury was ready to report. The
public, as before, was excluded from the
room. The judge gave orders that 110 one
should leave or enter the room and 110
communication with the outside was to
be had. The verdict was read and the jury
polled. Immediately Hayward was taken
out and through the throng and back to
his cell at the jail. Not until he was
safely behind the bars was the verdict of
the jury made known outside of the room.
Sentence will not be passed until Monday.
Court opened an hour earlier than cus-
tomary to give Mr. Krwin time to close his
argument, which had already lasted two
days. Krwin began by pointing out that
the loan Harry Hayward had made to Miss
Ging had not been attacked in the evidence
except by Rlixt. The validity of this loan
was evident. Had the police machine been
properly set in motion, the mystery sur-
rounding Miss Ging's behavior would havA
been inconsistent with the noble character)
of ihe girl. Mr. Erwin then devoted him-
self to the alibi and claimed that all of
Harry's time when he was involved by
Rlixt's testimony had been accounted for.
I11 (dosing he said: "This is the most mon-
strous persecution in history. If you are,
in obedience to the pressure brought upon
you, to tear down the truth and law, then
tell your artisans to remove from our dome
the statue of justice, tell them to put In
her place a figure of the hag of hell. Tear
down the flag of your republic, the red.
white and blue. Take it down—the old
Hag of freedom—and bid your officers rear
in Its place that polished black face of hell-
ish perjury."
It took Judge Smith forty minutes to
read his charge to the jury. He declared
that the verdict must be guilty as charged
or not guilty. A* to the credibility of the
witnesses the jury was entitled to con-
sider their attitude on the stand, the rea-
sonableness of their statements and the
circumstances under which they were jus-
tified. If the jury believed any witness
had testified falsely it was at liberty to
discard his evidence, except wherein cor-
roboration from other reliable witnesses
established its credibility. If it was ap-
parent that any witness was possessed of
ill feeling toward tile accused that also
might be taken into consideration. If the
jury found that a witness had given tes-
timony on a promise of immunity from
punishment that also might be carefully
weighed.
The charge was perfectly satisfactory
to both sides, and no exceptions were
noted.
The ruling passion in Harry Hayward
was strong in the presence of death. He
placed a bet of $10 this morning that the
verdict would be acquittal, and that it
would be reached Inside of two hours.
Judge Smith stayed in the court room for
an hour and then went home to dinner.
The court was adjourned until 2 o-clock.
The verdict was awaited with anxious
inquiries by the whole city. There was a
tirm belief among the police that in case
of a "not guilty" verdict there would be
rioting and possibly an attempt made to
wreak summary vengeance.
The reconvening of court and the return
of Hayward was awaited with impatience
by the crowd. There was no way in which
Hayward could be taken from the court
room except through the crowd, and many
threats of violence were made.
"Here comes Hayward," Shouted the
pushing, yelling mob around the court
room door. A cooler man than Harry Hay-
ward under such circumstances never
lived. His dress was immaculate, after the
usual fashion, and he walked with Uhe
same stride that is one of his peculiarities,
to his chair. That he anticipated what, the
verdict was to be seemed to be apparent in
the angry manner in which he threw "his
hat on his attorney's table with force so
great that <a rent was made in the crown
of the derby. Shoemaker turned to his cli-
ent and -besought him to keep cool.
"Don't show any temper. Harry," he
said, "this is no time for that."
The injunction had the desired effect.
Hayward straightened out the sleeves of
his well-fitting coat, sat down, crossed his
legs and faced the jury. He was breathing
so "heavily that every breath was almost a
gasp. 'Rut the passage from the jail to the
court room was through a hostile and des-
perate crowd, and he sat there amid the
solemn silence of the big room, scanning
the faces of his twelve countrymen, one by
one. as if to learn in advance whether any
ray of hope could be gleaned from their
impassiveness. The jurymen looked stern
and sad. The story they had to tell could
•be read in their faces, and Hayward knew
his fate before a word was spoken.

READY FOR THE PEN.
Waco, Tex., March 8.—George Kellum
was convicted in 1S92 and the jury •returned
a verdict of death. The charge was the
murder on April 19, 1892, of Eugene Kauf-
mann, postmaster at Reisal, McLennan
county- Pie appealed and the case was re-
versed and remanded. Again he was ar-
raigned and after the trial had progressed
several days one of the jurors became too
ill to go on and the case was continued.
The following term the case came up
again, and another verdict of guilty was
given by the jury, in this conviction the
punishment being placed at a life term in
the penitentiary. The attorneys for the
defendant filed a motion for a new trial,
and this motion remained pending subject
to call.
Lately Geo. Kellum has been in a highly
nervous condition. He frequently sent
messages to Sheriff Raker asking for fav-
ors, which were granted except where they
conflicted with the rules. This afternoon
at his own request Geo. Kellum was
brought before Judge Goodrich in the court
room of the Fifty-fourth judicial district.
Standing before the judge the tall negro
delivered one of the most remarkable ad-
dresses ever heard in the court room. His
guilt he denied and asked God to pardon
those who testified against him. "1 am
innocent, if your honor pleases," he said.
"I did not do that murder, but ! am weary
of the delays and I am here to ask that
my motion for a new trial be withdrawn
and that you pass sentence on me in ac-
cordance with the verdict of the jury."
Judge Goodrich was visibly affected by
the pathos of fhe remarks and the tones of
the colored man. He said: "George, I can
only carry out the functions of a judge and
pass sentence, as you request. I sympa-
thize with you fully in your deep distress."

the 30th ultimo there was measured at the
public boom in Darien 3,000,000 feet of
square, scab and sawn timber. This does
not include the sawn timber and lumber

ordinance requiring all oranges on the
ground in the groves in the city to be
buried and all cape jessemlnes to be cut
down, all Japan plum trees to be defoliat-
ed, as well as some other plants mentioned
by the ordinance. This is in line with the

station. The object of this is to destroy the
last of the larvae of the insect pests which
are injurious to the orange trees.
Okahumpa, Fla.—A number of orange
growers have tested the damage done by
the two recent freezes. The conclusion
reached Is that less than one-fifth of the
budded trees from five to seven years eld
are alive above the bud, and will have to
be cut down to from six to twelve inches
above the ground, reproducing the tree by
budding into the new root sprouts. The
seedling trees from tep to fifteen years
old ar- so badly damaged that, except in
favored localities. 110 fruit can be grown
this year. The old trees will have to be
cut back from three to five feet.
Mannville, Fla.—The warm weather of
the past few davs has demonstrated the
fa« t that there ar. not five orange trees in
a hundred alive. One week ago it was the
general opinion that at least three-fourths
of the older trees were still alive; now it
is certain the freeze of February 8 made
almost a clean sweep of them. Hundreds
of act. s of groves arc being abandoned, but
a lew are cutting their groves down and
will try again, while others are tinning
their attention to raising hay, corn, cas-
sava. potatoes, cowpeas, etc., and some
are planting grapes, pears, peaches and
plums of different varieties.

CONSUL WILLIAMS' GOOD GRIT.
New York, March 8.—A dispatch from
Havana says: When the request that Cap-
tain General Calleja had asked the Span-
ish government to demand his recall, and
that the Spanish government had sup-
ported his demand, was referred to Con-
sul General Williams, he was greatly sur-
prised and said:
"There has been much trouble in the
past with the government 011 various mat-
ters. I would have resigned long ago but
for my family,
"At a conference held some time ago I
was accused of making alarming reports
to the press. 1 denied it. The latest
trouble arose from the prisoners of war,
Sanquilly. Apirret. Canlllo and Peraso.
Thej all hold citizenship papers in the
1'nited States. The captain general in-
sisted that they should be tried by court
martial, while 1 demanded that this case
be determined by the civil courts and be
allowed to have lawyers to defend them.
These four prisoners were captured while
in pursuit of their ordinary avocations.
They .-an not bully me. These men got
their citizenship papers in New York, ami
they can not ne questioned.
I am ready to leave at any time, but I
will protect American citizens as far as
possible while I am here.

I would have resigned a week ago."
AN AMERICAN IN CUSTODY.
St. Louis. Mo., March 8.—An American
citizen, known in St. Louis, is held by
authorities of Cuba. Joseph Aguirra has
been moved from Havana to another jur-
isdiction and United States Consul Will-
iams has succeeded in securing for him a
trial before a civil tribunal instead of a
court martial. Relatives in St. Louis have
been in correspondence with Secretary
Gresham and the action of the consul gen-
eral was the result of this correspond-
ence. Another letter will be forwarded
Thursday asking that Aguirra be guaran-
teed a fair trial as an American citizen
before paying the penalty of his alleged
implication in the revolt. Aguirra is shut
off from all chances of communication
with St. Louis relatives.
TOWN OF BAIRE CAPTURED.
Madrid, March 8.—An official dispatch re-
ceived here from Cuba states that General
Garrido has captured the town of Baire.
Two of the rebel chiefs were wounded.
Sixty-three of the Insurgents surrendered
to the Spanish troops. The remainder fled
and are pursued by the government troops.
THE DRUZES.
London, March 8.—The following has
been received from a well known European
resident at Beyrout, Syria:
"After 1860, when the Druzes massacred
so many thousands of Christians in Syria,
there was created by t'he powers -a special-
ly organized government with a Christian
leader. This has been a grand success; the
population has Increased, the land has been
thoroughly cultivated, and the proverb is,
•Rlessed is file man who has a place in
Lebanon sufficient for a goat to lie upon.'
"The turbulent and criminal part of the
Druzes have moved gradually to Howran,
where they maintain a defiant and lawless
attitude. Lately ohe government has shown
a great desire to conciliate them. The
Druzes a few years ago killed about seven
of the Mohammedans of Howran and were
immediately chastised. Last June the
Druzes attacked a village of Circassian ref-
ugees and killed about fifty. When no pun-
ishment followed these depredations, which
were accompanied by < ountless acts of rob-
bery and plunder, they became bolder.
Some Ledouin A tabs have been killed by
them and now their attention is turned to
the Christians. One of them, known tome,

Villages, Wholly inhabited by Christians,
when he was set upon by Druzes and mur-
dered, after 'being robbed of £00. The gov-
ern ment greatly fears international dissen-
sion, but why, on the one hand a 'brutal
massacre of those who indulge in (harmless
dreams of liberty and independence and 011
the other a timid indulgence of outlaws?
The answer is easily given—Christians are
the natural prey of Moslem hatred, and
any pretext will answer as an excuse for
their extermination.
"The European powers are great. Will
they not use their power to secure some
justice to the Christians of the east? The
Moslem Turk will never learn the lesson
which could be drawn from the massacres
of Syria, Bulgaria and fhe Arab rebellion;
that to surrender Christians to the mercies
of fanatical hordes is not the wisest course,
but a losing game. Matters have reached
a sad pass and are steadily becoming
worse, that It seems wrong to hold one's
peace."
RELIEF FOR NEWFOUNDLANDERS.
St. Johns, N. F., March 8.—The steamer
Grand Lake, Captain Delaney, arrived here
from Halifax last evening. At 0 o'clock,
when the ship was sighted, an immense
crowd began to gather, until about 3000
people were on the wharf. As the ship
came near the wharf the American flag
was hoisted to the foremasthead and as
the excitement ran very high, cheer after
cheer went up for the American flag, for
the United States and for Boston. When
the ship was moored a delegation from the
relief commit tee.consisting of Bishop Jones,
Revs. P. O'Brien and Graham and A. J.
Harvey, went 011 board and were met by
Mr. Faye, who is in charge of the relief,
which amounts to about 1700 barrels of pro-
visions. It was decided to call a meeting
of the clerical relief committee for to-day
at n o'clock, at which the details of the
distribution of the provisions will be de-
cided.
MEXICAN MATTERS.
City of Mexico, March 8.—The press
claims that many bodies of victims of the
late disaster 011 the Inter-Oceanic road
were interred clandestinely, so as to make
the number of victims appear less.
Lieutenant Colonel Joaquin Vasquez has
been sentenced by court-martial to be shot
for cowardice in the Yaqui campaign. It
is claimed that his action caused the death
of a number of soldiers.
Guatemalan Envoy De Leon is awaiting
an answer from Foreign Minister Mariscal
to his last note, which was long, and it
will be therefore some days before it is
possible for Mariscal to make a reply.
GIVEN THEIR PASSPORTS.
New York, March 8.—A special dispatch
from Caracas, Venezuela, says:
President Crespo has given pass-
ports to the ministers of France and Bel-
gium to Venezuela. This action is due, it
is said, to statements published in the
Italian green book,* in which it appears
that the French, Belgian, German and
Spanish ministers discredited the institu-
tions of this republic. They urged the
powers to impose upon Venezuela a mixed
foreign tribunal, to have jurisdiction in all
questions in which Europeans are con-
cerned.
RELIGIOUS RIOTS.
Sofia, Bulgaria, March 8.—During the
progress of a religious service at the
Protestant church at Lompanio on Sunday
last, the building was Invaded by a mob
of members of the orthodox Greek church,
•who assaulted the worshipers, tore up the
prayer books and completely wrecked the
church in the interior. Several Germans
and Americans were among the worshipers
and were seriously injured during the dis-
turbance. The Americans are under Brit-
ish protection.
CANNED MEATS FOR THE ARMY.
Paris, March 8.—In the chamber of depu-
ties to-day in discussing the budget, M.
Pegnault proposed that the amount be in-
creased 2,000,000 francs in order to enable the
war department to purchase canned meats
in France for the use of the army. The
minister of war said the government
favored the establishment of factories for
canning meats, but the matter required
exhaustive examination and as a prelim-
inary the government intended to make ex-
periments.
DECENTRIZATION LEAGUE.
Paris, March 8.—A large meeting, which
was attended by many senators and depu-
ties, was held yesterday for the purpose
of drafting the provisional statutes of the
new league of decerntrlzation, which aims
to minimize the control of the central gov-
ernment and increase the power of the
commune and the departments of France.
RIOT IN A CHURCH.
Paris, March 8.—A number of socialists,

Are the Best Months in Which to
Purify Your Blood
Ana the Best Blood Purifier is
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Which Purifies, Vitalizes and Enriches the Blood.
At this sea«on everyone should take
n good spring' medicine. The blood
hn« become loaded with impurities
and the whole system should be reno-
vated. Nature cries for help and if
there is not a prompt and satisfactory
response, the penalty must sooner or
later bo paid in serious illness and
prolonged suffering.
This demand can only be met by
the purifying, enriching and
Blood-Vitalizing
elements to be found in Hood's Sarsa-
parilla. That this is the best medicine
tor you to take is proven by the fact
that it has the largest sales and accom-
plishes the greatest cures of any medi-
cine in the world. It purifies the
blood, creates an appetite, builds up
the nervous system and renovates the
entire body, bo not be induced to buy
anything else. Insist upon HOOD'S.
A Boy's Life Saved.
"I cannot praise Hood's Sarsaparilla
enough tor wbat it has done for my boy.
Some four years ago, when six years old,
George was attacked by hip disease in his
right leg. We had to get him a pair of
crutches, with which he was able to move
about, but became badly deformed. We
had to have his right leg lanced just above
the knee. In a (ew weeks a second sore
broke out, both discharging freely. Agon-
izing pains afflicted him, he could not bear
to be moved, his growth was stopped and
In a short time he was a mere skeleton.
lie had no appetite, and it waB hard v ork
to make him eat enough to keep him alive.
A Jew weeks later we had his hip lanced,
and following this live other eruptions
broke out, making eight running sores in
all. We did all we could for him, but he
grew weaker every day, although we had
three of the best physicians. As a last re-
sort we were prevailed upon by relatives
who had taken Hood's Sarsaparilla with
beneficial results to give the medicine a
trial. We got one bottle about the first
of March, and he had taken the medi-
cine only a few days when his appetite be-
gan to improve. W hen he had taken one
bottle he could move about a little with
his crutches, which he had not been able
to use for the preceding three months. We
continued faithfully with Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla, and in six months he was
Able to be Dressed
and go about the house without the
crutches. He has now taken Hood's Sar-
saparilla regularly for elghteeu months,
and for the past six months has been with-
out the crutches, which he has outgrown
by several inches. The sores have all healed
with the exception of one which is rapidly
closing, only the scars and an occasional
limp remaining as reminders of his suffer-
ing. Hood's Sarsaparilla in his case has
truly done wonders, and he is daily gain-
ing in flesh and good color. He runs about
and plays as lively as any child. We felt
an inexpressible joy at having our boy re-
stored to health and we alwayB speak in
the highest terms of Hood's Sarsaparilla."
Mrs. Hhnry W. Murphy, Exeter, N. H.
" My mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth
Wolfe, at the age of 12 years, was at-
tacked with a violent form of salt
rheum; it spread all over her body,
and her hands and limbs were dreadful
to look at. At the same time, my
little daughter Clara, who was just one
year old, was attacked by a similar
disease, like scrofula. It appeared in
Large Sores
under each side of her neck; she had
attendance of the family physician and
j other doctors for a long time, but
seemed to grow worse. I read of
many people cured of scrofula by-
Hood's Sarsaparilla. As soon as we
gave Hood's Sarsaparilla to Clara, she
began to get better, and before the first
bottle was gone, the sores entirely
healed up and there has never been
any sign of the disease since. She is a
Healthy Robust Child.
Her grandmother took Hood's Sarsa-
parilla at the same time, and the salt
rheum decreased in its violence and a
perfect cure was soon effected, lttook
about three months for her cure, and
! she aserib • her good health aud
I strength at her advanced age to Hood's
1 Sarsaparilla. It has certainly been a
Godsend to my family." Mas. Sophia

HOW COWS ARE RUINED.
Country Gentleman.
Taken separately and alone, the cows,
the dogs and the boys go their several
ways in peace, and all is well. It is when
the latter two undertake to have a hand
in "fetching" the cows from pasture that
trouble begins. The boyish pastime of
bringing home the pasture had about
slipped my mind, when I saw a farmer
send after the cows one or two boys and
a dog. Needless to say, my sense of fit-
ness in this day of advancement of all
things pertaining to the dairy, and espe-
cially as to the care of line milch cows,
was somewhat rudely shocked when I b"-
held once more the old-time picture of the
cows Hying down hill at a break-neck
speed, the dogs at their heels and the
boys playing around the cows bringing up
the rear at a sharp canter!
It is bad enough to drive any cow out of
a walk at any time, and under a well reg-
ulated order of doing things there will be
no occasion for Showing speed among the
milch cows. But when it conies to a herd
of line cows kepi, for breeding purposes,
and with the idea of developing the best
there is in the breed for milking purposes,
the line should be drawn rigidly against
dogs and boys getting in any of their
monkey work. It simply will not do; it is
altogether out of the question. The worst
feature of the case is the fact that it is in
the evening when the udder is full, and It
is simply a physical impossibility that the
cow should escape serious injury from a
wild chase homeward. Then there is an-
other feature than the physical injury to
which the cow is exposed. It is well known
that the nervous system of most cows is
easily affected by any exciting episode of
this character, and that such irregularities
are always indulged in at the expense cf
the better qualities of cows. It is very
probable that oftentimes the question of
profit or no profit hinges on the treatment
given cows, whether it be easy and quiet,
or wild and noisy, with a bang and a rush.

Phyllis, if I could I'd paint you
As I see you sitting there,
You distracting little saint, you,
With your aureole of hair.
If I only were an artist,
And such glances could be caught,
You should have the very smartest
Picture frame that can be bought!
Phyllis? since I can't depict your
Charms, or give you aught but fame,
Will you be yourself the picture?
Will you let me be the frame?
Whose protecting clasp may binif you

Or you'll force me to remind you
Pictures must be framed with gold!"

PROFIT IN CLEAN CULTURE.
Practical Farmer.
There is no garden operation pays better
than that of frequent cultivation. This is
well known to those of experience, but to
the young beginner it is not, and without a
trial it is hard for him or any one to under-
stand it. It is not alone that a crop of
weeds means that two crops are being fed
instead of one. This Is evil enough, but
when weeds are allowed to grow it implies
that no stirring of the soil is being done,
and the harm thus done is fully equal to
that of the robbing of food by the weeds.
As soon as crops are large enough that cul-
tivation can commence it should be done
and ho kept up until the crop commences
to ripen, when it may stop. The Held that
is made familiar with the hoe-harrow from
early spring till late fall may be said to
never suffer from the summer heat. The
plants in it start to grow early and con-
tinue on till the end. Some years ago a
case came under my notice which is worthy
of mention. A neighbor had set out a Held
of young trees. The soil and preparations
were alike in all parts of it and there was
no difference in the trees. One-hall' of it
was sown to wheat, the other half was cul-
tivated regularly throughout the season.
At the (lose of the season, though the
trees were but one year planted, there was
a marked difference in favor of the culti-
vated portion. The owner expected to find
some, but not so much as there was. In
root crops the same result has often been
observed. Carrots, potatoes and similar
crops will yield more than double when
well cultivated. In dry seasons the hoe-
harrow is the farmer's friend. In light
soils, which soon lose their moisture, the
only hope of saving his crop the farmer
has lies in frequent cultivation.
In advanced age the declining powers
greatly refreshed by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
