i Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 28. James II.
Howard, who has been on trial for the
past 10 days, charged with being u
principal iu tho assassination oi Vil
j liam Goohel, was found guilty by tho
jury today, his punishment being flxod
at death.
1 Tho fact that the jury hnd deliberat
ed all of yesterday afternoou without
. reaching a verdicc led to tho bolief
that it was hopelessly divided, and this
fact mndo tho ..verdict shocking to
I Howard and thoso who hoped for his
I ultimate acquittal. Howard did not
1 lose lis composuro when tho verdict
' calling for the extreme penalty of the
, law was read in the court room. lie
glanced at Ins attorneys, who sat be
Gido lilm, ami smiled, but said noth
ing. After tho jury had been dis
charged Howard was taken back to the
jail, niul there, for tho first time, ho
betrayed emotion. Ho culled for a pon
and paper and wroto a long letter to
his wifo, during which tho tears
coursed down his cheeks. Ho wos
joined later by his attorneys, who
spent n good part of tho day in confer
1 enco with him in regard to the motion
for a new trial, which will bo filed to
1 morrow, nnrt other matters iu connec
tion witli tho case.
1 Ono of tho jurors stated to a press
representative that a number of ballots
! wero taken, but tho first ballot result
ed in a unanimous vote in favor of a
; verdict of guilty. After that tho bal
j lots yesterday were as to the degree of
I pnuiHhmont. Ten members voted for
j tlio death penalty, whilo two voted for
life imprisonment. Tho first ballot
I today resulted in a verdict, tho two
1 jurors who had voted for lifo imprison
1 mont gave in to tho majority and
j voted for tho death poualty. The jury
! consisted of nino Democrats, one Uo-
publican and two auti-Goobol Demo
crats. Tho verdict of tlio jury, it is be
lioved, was based largely upon tho de
struction of Howard's nlibi, npon
which he depended eolely. Ono of thn
jnrors admitted that tlio failure of
Howard to iug ttny ol tho occupants

Bratlstreeta says: The month of Sep

look In tho industrial world than was
apparent a wook or 10 dnyB ago. Tho
reports ai to the probability of a settle

whloli havo boon current for n conpl
of days Room to havo a basis of fnet
and thero 1b moro than n likelihood
that tho most distnrbing font nro in tho
Industrial situation for some timo, ia
in prooess of elimination.
An encouraging font nro in the iron,
and steel situation, is the number and
character of foreign inquiries.
The demand for structural material
continues steady and prices aro firm.
The foot that the tin plato scalo re
mains cnsottlod produces but little
effect, lint little of significance is to
be extracted from the movoment of
pricos.
Wheat has beon somowhat Irregular,
and pricos shift listlessly, being about
whore thoy were this timo last week.
Absence of foreign demand owing prob
ably to larger Russian shipments,
couplod with higher freights, tondod t
tho unsottlement.
Spot cotton is np on the week, but
the general market had fluctuated ner
vously, influenced on the one hand by
heavy port rocelpts, and on tho other
by apparent famine conditions. A sat
isfactory activity in distributive trado
oheckod to some -extent in ocrtaln lo
calities by unseasonable weather ami"
in others by a tendency to curtail oper
ations pending the otitcoino of tho elec
toral contest is disclosed by tolegrapMa
advices.
Wheat, including flour shipments,
for tho week aggregated 4,243,810
bushels against 3,536,857 last weeb.
From July 1, to date, this season,
wheat oxports are 42,702,500 bushels,
