In the circuit court for t'matilla
county nt IVmllelon Jmlf; Cliffon!
lKisstnl H'litenou Uwn Frederick
Zorn, eonvietwl of inurtler in tho
first degree for the htulal riliooting
of hit tvtfo and mother-in-law near
MilUm in October last. The follow
ing wore tho word a of Judge Cliffon!
in imping wnitence:
"Mr. l'orn, you now stand boforo
this court, having Iwen duly indict
ed, tried and convicted of one of the
gravest criiii'w known to our Inw,
that of mnrdar in tin) firrtl decree.
for the killing of your wife, Caroline J
Zorn.
"You havo had a fair ami itnpar- (
tial trial, hy twelve good citizens of
tht county, who, after liavmg heard
the evidence in the case, tho argu
ment of counsel, and the instruc
tions of tho court, have, after an ah
Bonce of only an hour ami a half,
returned into this court with a ver
dict of guilty, ai charge 1 in the in
dictment, th'erehy saying that every
material allegition of the indict
ment had hoon nrovoti to their sat
isfaction, hoyoiul a reasonable doubt.
"You have had tho advantage of
an able attorney to represent your
interests, who has dono all in his
power to defend you. You have
had as fair a trial" as it has ever
been my lot to witness, and in tho
introduction of testimony in this
case, whenever a doubt has arisen
as to admissibility of testimony, I
can freely sav that that doubt 1
have invariably resolved in your
favor. I consider, therefore, that
as far as this court is concerned,
that you have had as fair and im
partial a trial as it was possible for
n man to receive. Kvery particle
of testimony that it was Kssiblo to
present in your behalf was submit
ted to the jury.
"Upon the "verdict returned there
is but one sentence that this court
can pronounce upon you, and that
is that your life shall be forfeited to
pay thcionalty for tho great crime
you have committed.
"Ah unpleasant as it is for mo to
now pass this sentence upon you, I
cannot but recognize tho fact that
the unfortunate condition in which
you find yourself placed at tho pres
ent time,' has been brought about
by your own voluntary act and
deed.
"Tho judgment of this court is
thai you bo imprisoned iu tho conn
tvj.nl of this countv until Friday,
tlio'i.-ith day of March, 1SD2, at
which time you be taken by tho
Bherill'of this county within tho en
closure of the jail or jail yard, where
you have been confined, and between
tho hours of It) o'clock a. m. and I
o'clock p. m. of said day, to-wit, the
hour of '2 o'clock p. in. of said dav,
iu tho presence of twelve bona fiiio
electors of this county and state, to
be selected by tho sheriff of this
county, in tho presence of said elec
tors, by tho sheriff of this county so
elected, you be then and there
hanged by tho neck until you are
dead, and may (iod havo mercy on
your soul."

Wasiunuto.v, I). C. Feb. 5, IS'Jl.
The war crisis has pasted, much
to the disgust of the young naval
ollicers and others aud itions of
earning glory at the cannon's month
and of the men who had 1iohkI to
largly increase their bank accounts
by means of profitable government
contracts, anil the pleasure of ordi
nary folks. It is now conceded hy
those who were at first inclined to
hlaino President Harrison for un
necessary haste in sending an ulti
mation and in sending the corres
Kjndence and his vigorous message
to congress, that he was pursuing
the very lw.it course to bring alnnit
jieace. It was necestary to convince
Chili that this government intended
to enforce the demands it had made
by force if necessary, and iu no
other way could this have been
done so speedily. In congress all
political difference!! were for the
time forgotten and everybody be
camu intensely American. The re-"
suit, as might have been exacted,
is an abject ajiology from Chili. It
is not the first time that active
preparations for war have resulted
in assuring wace.
The farmers' alliance representa

Representative Otis, of Kansas,
after stating that the third party
was founded on the ciial rights
Jeffersonian doctrin, on the Klicy
of Washington, and upon the Lin
coln idea of the suK.Tiority of lalwir
to capital, criticised the rules as
conferring a dangerous H)werou the
scakcr and the committee on rules.
Representative Watson, of (Jeorgia,
made the principles of tho alliance
the basis of his remarks, stating
that the toiling millions of the laud
were looking to those principles as
their only means of relief. Other
alliance mciuliers also made brief
remarks.
If Oklahoma does not become a

The resolution providing for an
investigation as to whether the ap
propriations heretofore made for tho
world's fair havo Ir-cii judiciously
expended has been favorably re
Kirted to the house, and it will be
passed. This does not indkata a
hostile feeling towards the exjsjsi
tion; on the contrary it is intended
to furnish the managers an optxir
tunity to show congress how well
the appropriations have beon sjient,
as an inducement to grant the ap
propriate of $.1,0(X),IXX) now asked
for. There are those, howeer, who
do not think the showing made will
be favorable to the managers.
A bill to prohibit the sale of fire
Curtain baking powder makers are publishing falsified extracts from the
Covcrnmcnt reports, with pretended analyses and certificates, wherein an
attempt is made to compare their baking powders with the "Royal," or
r.iaking bogus tests from house to house, their obvious purpose being to
counteract the recent exposures of the inferiority of their own goods arising
from their impurity, low strength, and lack of keeping qualities as shown
by the Government chemists anil others.
As to whether any of these baking powders are
equal to the " Royal," the official tests clearly deter
mine. When samples of various baking powders were
purchased from the grocers, anil analyzed by the United
St ates Government Chemists and the Chemists of Stale
and City Hoards of Health, the reports revealed the fact
that the "Royal" contained from 28 per cent, lo 60 per
cent, more leavening strength than any other cream of
tartar baking powder, and also that it was more perfectly
made, of purer ingredients, and altogether wholesome.
Ar, these powders are sold to consumers at the same price, by the use
of the Royal Baking l'owder there is an average saving of over one third,
besides the advantage of assured purity and wholeRoineneBs of food, and of
bread, biscuit, and cake made perfectly light, r.weet, and palatable advan

Representative Rowers, of Cali
fornia, is not enamoured of the new
