HAYWARD IS FOUND GUILTY
Be "Was Removed From the Courtroom
. Before the Verdict Was Hade
Public--Fearing; Violence.
Guilty as Charged.
Minneapolis, March 8. The jury
verdict in the Hayward case is "guilty
as charged." The verdict was kept
secret while the prisoner was being con
ducted back to jail.
No one w:ts allowed to leave the court
house, and i r.tnense crowds gathered.
The judiie'o order that no one should
be allowed to enter or leave the court
room until Hayward was safe behin
the bars was effective in prevenlin
trouble. When word was brought back
that the prisoner was safe the verdict
was read. A poll of the jury was de
manded, and without hesitation each
man answered "unilty." Up to the
time the verdict was read counsel for 1 1
defense expressed the greatest com
dence in his acquittal. Hall, assistant
county attorney, moved for immediate
sentence, but owing to the absence of
Erwin, the passing of sentence was
postponed until Monday morning at 10
o'clock.
Erwin finished his argument for the
defense today. He pointed out that the
loan Harry Hayward made Miss Ging
bad not been attacked in the evidence
except by the word of Blixt. The val
idity of this loan was a citidel of defense,
It was evident that had the police
machine been properly set in motion
the mystery surrounding Miss Ging's
behavior would have been solved in a
manner consistent with the noble
character of the girl, and an innocent
man would have been relieved from the
charge under which he now rests. In
closing, he said this was the most mons
trous persecution in history.
-'It took Judge Seagrave Smith 40
minutes to read his charge to the jury
He declared the verdict must be guilty
as charged or not guilty. If the defend
ant was guilty it was premeditated.
He explained the reasonable doubt
theory at great length. He continued :
"It is necessary for you to be satisfied
, that Blixt killed Miss Ging; second, that
Hayward incited him. If when you re
tire you are satisfied that Blixt killed
the girl,, you may proceed, if not, do not
consider the verdict farther, but if Harry
did incite as charged, your verdict will
be guilty."
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 a verdict of acquittal
would be reached inside of two hours
Court adjourned until two o'clock. It
is believed in case a verdict of "not
guilty," there will be rioting. There is
no way in which Hayward can be taken
from the room except through the crowd,
and rumors of violence are heard.
River Sterm - Sank
Cincinnati, March 8. During a heavy
. fog this morning the steamer Longfel
low, belonging to the Cincinnati, Mem
phis & New Orleans Packet Line Com
pany, going to JNew Orleans, in some
way not yet clearly explained, lost her
course, crashed against a pier of the
Chesapeake & Ohio railway bridge and
sank.
ner zu caDin passengers were all res
cued by the company's harbor boat, Her
cules Carrell, except a lame man named
Aldrich, of Cleveland, who is still miss
ing. Thost of the crew who are missing
are: Captain I.Lawrence Carter; sec
ohd mate, name unknown, and three
roustabouts also unknown.
The steamer literally crumbled to
pieces immediately following the colli
sion, and sank bow first. .
The Longfellow was valued at $22,500
and insured for 15,000. She was carry
ing 500 tons of freight.
The real cause of the accident is said
to be that the boat was nnweildy. The
towboa't Hercules Carrell was sent along
with the steamboat to aid her in passing
the bridges, and was attached to the
stern of the steamboat "for the purpose
of keeping the stern clear of the - bridge
piers, but proved unable to do this.
! Many passengers were in their state
rooms when the collision occured, but
the blasts of the whistles of both the
Carrell and Longfellow awakened them
arid they hurried on deck. . The Carrell
ran alongside of the sinking boat, ' and
the passengers were quickly transferred j
to it. But for the presence of the Carrell
the loss ot life would have been fearful
The Longfellow was one ot the hand'
somest packets on. the Ohio. Second
Clerk Colbert and Second Engineer Hart
each had a foot crushed.
The known list of dead numbers three
David Aldrich of Rome, Not York, who
was lame: Captain I. L. Carter, the
clerk of the boat, and James Miller,
colored porter. The others reported
missing have been accounted for. The
los9 of the steamer is one of those
tragedies there seems to be no means of
preventing short of the removal of the
bridge piers.'
The Haitian Rebellion.

revolution in the republic of Hayti, re
ported yesterday to have begun in the

ment ran very high. Cheer after cheer
went up for the American flag, for the

the ship was moored a delegation from
the relief committee went on board and
were met by Mr. Faye, who is in charge
of the relief, which amounts to about
1700 barrels of provisions.

NEW NATIONAL PARTY
Quite a Gathering of Prom
inent Silver Men.
ANXIOUS TO CONTROL A PAPER
They Are Said to Be Negotiating for One
That They Might Boom Their.
Presidential Candidate.
New York, March 9. A story came to
this city today from Washington that
certain men, prominent in the silver
states ot the West, were negotiating for
the purchase of a morning newspaper in
this city, with a view to booming a silver
man for the next nomination for th
presidency. It was considered signifi
cant that a number of United States
senators from the silver states have at
rived in the citv within the past few
days. Senator Edward O. Wolcott, of
Colorado, has been at the Holland house
since Thursday night, and Senators
Francis E. Warren, of Wyoming; Wil
liam Bate, of Tennessee, and Pettigrew
of South Dakota, and ex-Senator Thomas
C. Power ot Montana, are domiciled at
the Fifth-Avenue hotel. Senator Wol
cott could not be found at the Holland
house this morning. At the Fifth
Avenue, Senator Warren was seen
When asked about the story, ho eaid :
"I am here on purely personal busi
ness, and have not heard the slightest
rumor that the silver men intend to buy
a New York newspaper. Our people in
Wyoming look to the next congress to
settle the financial question in a way to
unite and satisfy' the whole country,
Perhaps we may get an international
agreement establishing the ratio of silver
to gold, or the problem may be worked
out in some other way here at home,
The question is one that will not down
and must be settled before we have the
free exchange between all parts of the
country which alone can bring renewed
prosperity. The present administration
has been simply imbecile in its treat
ment of the financial question. It prom
ised ns that if the Sherman act were re
pealed, immediate improvement would
be felt. The condition of the country
has grown worse, instead of better, and
the last congress and the administration
stand on record as having deceived the
country in a game of bunco.
Senator Pettigrew and Bate and Ex-
Senator Power also denied any knowl
edge of the story.
Indians
Are Citizens, Kxcept as
Alienating Lands.
Pendleton, Or., March 9. Troop A,
of the Fourth cavalry, from Walla Walla,
arrived here at 8 o'clock this evening, on
a special train, and will be taken, with
out delay, to Mission station, on the res
ervation, from which point it. will pro
ceed to the agency, which is near the
station. Indian Agent Harper had been
notified from Washington that troops
were held in readiness at Walla Walla,
but kept his counsel, saying nothing
until about time for the arrival of the
train, when he gave out information that
he had requested that they come. He
alleges it may be necessary, in order to
protect the agency and the whites who
live on the reservation, to have the sol
diers at hand. '
This afternoon Judge Fee, of the cir
cuit court, rendered a decision in the
habeas corpus case. It declares that the
Indians are citizens, and under the
Dawes act entitled to all rights, privi
leges and immunities of other citizens,
except as to the power to alienate their
allotted lands on the reservation, title to
which was transferred subject to the
trusteeship of the United States govern
ment. The release of No Shirt and
Young Chief was also ordered. Counsel
for the Indian court will appeal in this
and in another case, pending. ' The In
dians' counsel were seen, and eaid they
had told the Indians they must not re
sort to violence in any event, but 'go
about' quietly and await the final su
preme court decisions. This the Indians
promised to do, and ' the head men
asserted they would use tneir influence
to prevent any disturbance. - There is no
danger, In the.opinion of every one here,
unless the Indians get drunk and become
involved in trouble with the Indian
policemen.
Washington, March 9. The secretary
of the interior has requested the secre
tary of war to send troops from Walla
Walla to the Umatilla reservation, if
the agent there makes a request. By
telegraph, Agent Harper advised the in
terior department, from Pendleton, Or.,
that Judge Fee upholds bis decision in
the habeas corpus case of No Shirt and
Young Chief, Umatilla Indians, and if
they were released he feared trouble.
The agent did not state what the diffi
culty wa9 with the Indians.
Walla Walla, March 9. Acting up
on orders from headquarters, troop D,
Fourth cavalry, officered by Captain J,
R. Richards and Lieutenant H. S. Haw
kins, with '40 men, left by special train
at 6 o'clock this evening, for tho Uma
tilla reservation.
Compensation for Transportion
Paid Branch Lines. '
to Be
Washington, March 9. Secretary
Carlisle today issued an order directing
that hereafter all compensation for mail
and other services rendered the govern
ment by certain nonaided or "leased
lines of the Union Pacific shall be paid
the receivers of the respective compa
nies, instead of being applied, as hereto
fore, to the sinking fund and the bond
and interest account of the Union Pa
cific. This action is based upon the de
cisions of the courts, and the showing
made that these roads are not under the
control of the Union Pacific, and that
the retention of the compensation earned
is illegal None of the payments au
thorized are to be made except on the
filing with the treasury department of a
properly certified order of the court ap
pointing the person or persons named
in the said order, receiver or receivers of
the said companies. This order is to
apply to all payments for compensation
for services rendered since the appoint
ment of said receivers, and which have,
heretofore, been withheld, awaiting the
action of the treasury department, and
to all future payments to the respective
companies until further ordered. -
Mo More Patents to Be Issued.
Washington, March 9. Secretary
Smith has determined that no more pat
ents for land granted the subsidized rail
roads shall be issued until there has
been a settlement of the debt due the
government from these roads. An at
tempt was made to get a resolution to
this effect through, congress, but it
failed. As soon as the resolution was
presented, Commissioner Lamoreaux, of
the general land office, immediately sus
pended work npon the preparation of
lists of lands within the grants, and none
were sent to the secretary for approval
while the resolution was pending. Aft
erward, when congress adjourned, the
commissioner felt compelled to go ahead
with the patenting of lands to the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific, but with the
announcement of the secretary that he
will not approve further patents to these
roads, work was again suspended. Sec
retary Smith will soon make an order to
that effect, and give reasons for such ac
tion. He says that he thinks it just
that no more patents should be granted
when the roads owe the government
such large sums. It has been stated
that a suit for mandamus, to compel the
secretary to continue patents, will be
brought by the railroads. When this
was suggested to Secretary Smith today,
he said it would be time enough to be
gin work on the patents when the courts
granted such mandamus. The lands
affected are within the grants to the
Union Pacific and the Central Pacific
between Omaha and Sacramento. It is
also thought the lands within the grants
to the Oregon and California road will
be affected, as it is operated as a part of
the Central Pacific system.
Situation at Hot Springs Said to Be
Much Worse Than Reported.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 9. A let
ter received by R. W. Adams, of this
city, from a relative at Hot Springs,
Ark., states that the smallpox epidemic
in that place is much worse than the
newspapers reports would indicate. The
letter says that not a newspapers in Hot
Springs dares to publish the truth about
the situation, for the publishers were
told that if 'they printed the truth the
papers would be burned and the offices
wrecked. Correspondents for outside
papers have been similarly intimidated.
The letter discribes the situation at the
famous resort as harrowing in the ex
treme. Many are dying daily, and new
cases are being constantly reported.
The hospitals are crowded, and doctors
and nurses are unable to give proper at
tention to the patients.
The Removal of Governor Hughes.
Phoenix, A. T., March 9. The long-
looked-for removal of Governor Hughes
today assumed the semblance of reality.
This morning a telegram was received
from Secretary Wilson by E. F. Kellner,
in which Knellner was asked if he would
accept the governorship, Kellner is a
wealthy and prominent merchant, the
president of the chamber of commerce,
and a strong democrat. He is not iden
tified with any of the warring demo
cratic members of the legislature. It is
understood he has signified his willing
ness to accept by telegraph.' '

Hayward Has Three Months
More to Live.
THE PRISONER LISTENED UNMOVED
Grounds for a Mew Trial Will be Con
sidered the Latter Part of the
Month The Sentence.
. Minneapolis, Minn., March 11. Har
ry T Hayward came into court today in
the same leisurely, calm manner that
has characterized his demeanor throug
out the trial, and surveyed the crowd
coolly while his handcuffs were being
removed. Judge Smith agreed to ex
amine the grounds urged for a new trial
by March 28. He said he had no doubt
whatever that the verdict was a just
and righteous one, and while he did not
believe in capital punishment, it was
his painful duty to pass sentence in ac
cordance with the law.
"The sentence of this court," he con
tinued, "is that you be taken bence to
the county jail, and there confined until
after a period of three months' time, and
that you then be taken to the place of
execution and hanged by the neck until
you are dead."
Harry listened calmly and sat down
without the slightest show of feeling.
Brazilian Kstatn Which Will Descend to
American Heirs.
New York, March 11. Three brothers
whose surname is Buffenberger, and
who lived in Springfield. O., received a
visit from another brother, Elijah, in
the fall of 1853. Nothing more was
heard from him until several months
ago when the children of the three
brothers were advised by the consul
general at Rio Janeriro that Elijah had
died in Brazil, a bachelor, apparently
intestate, and had left a fortune esti
mated to be worth $8,000,000. His heirs,
among whom were Mrs. Judge D. C.
Badger, of Columbus, O., and Mrs. John
Crawford of this city, engaged ex
speaker Warren L. Kiefer, of Springfield,
as counsel, and sent- an attorney to
Brazil. . A telegram received from
Springfield says (hat a letter has just
come from the lawyer sent to Brazil, in
which he estimates the estate at $16,000,-
000, and says that the heirs will get their
money in a few months, if nothing un
foreseen occurs. The share of. Mrs.
Crawford, of this city, is put at $1,000,-

ready contributed 360,000. The offerings
made yesterday were liberal.
California's Supreme Court Decided
Against a Bankwrecker.
San Jose, Cal., March 11. H. M.
Leonard, the Santa Clara bankwrecker,
who, together with Cashier C. C. Hay
ward, now deceased, precipitated the
failure of the bank by their "loans" to
themselves, bids fair to go to jail for at
least three years, as the supreme court
has sustained Judge Reynolds in deny
ing a new trial. Leonard's counsel, H.
V. Morehouse, says he will move for a
rehearing. Besides this ca3e there are
several other indictments for emlezzle
ment and one for falsifying the records
that are yet untried. The aggregate of
his and Hayward'a speculations was
about $240,000. Leonard is out on bail
of $11,000. '
