They were ac cused of having poisoned Plemins in order that they might become husband and wife. The wedding of Jenfeins and Mrs. Plemins occurred about three weeks after Plemins' death. A post-mortem examination developed that arsenic was in Plemins' stomach, and poison was the theory upon which work was then begun, with the con viction above stated as the result. I BY uht l-w Columbia, S. C, Nov. 22 Mrs. Mary Elliott, living in the West Wateree sec tion of Kershaw county, has won the congratulations of the coroner's jury as well as of her neighbors for slaying Edwrad Kebdrick, a powerful negro, in her home last night. Mrs. Elliott is a widow and lives with her only son, a boy in his teens, in a lonely part of the county. Ned Ken driek came to her house late last night and demanded admittance. He said he had friends with him and if the boy showed himself out of his room he would be killed. Being refused admis sion, the negro declared he would kill both mother and son if any resistance was made." Before the woman was forced to de cide between her honor and her son's life, the boy dashed out of his room at Kendrick. His mother threw herself before him and both, unarmed, grappled with the brute with a pistol in his hand. Mrs. Elliott pressed his pistol arm to his side. In the struggle he foil to the floor 'and in exerting himself to hurl Mrs. Elliott from him the negro let his pistol drop. The woman seized the weapon and fired. Kendrick was crushing the boy and still held the woman with one powerful arm, but he was not auick enough to escape. He died almost instantly, the bullet pierc ing his heart. STATE CROP REPORT AN EXCELLENT SHOWING Special to the Gazette. Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 22. The North Carolina crop report for November was issued by Commissioner Patter son today and makes an excellent showing. It is based on reports from department correspondents in every township in the state. Following is a summary: Yield of cottoni, compared with average crop, 86; yield of cotton, compared with last year, 102; yield of tobacco, compared with average, 97; quality of tobacco, compared with average, 100; yield of com, compared with average, 90; yield of peanuts, com pared with ' average, 91; yield of Sweet potatoes, compared with average, 98; yield of cowpeas, compared with aver age, 85. TO MEET DECEMBER 3 Scranton, Pa., Nov. 22 The proposi tion to have the anthracite mine work ers and their employers try to come to some agreement without the direct aid of the arbitration commission which became publicly known yesterday, re mains in the same indefinite form as when the development first became known. Both sides waited for the com mission to adjourn and as such action was taken by the commissioners todajj it is probable that conferences will be held early next week. Where these meetings -will be held has not yet been decided upon, nor is it known who on each side will conduct the negotiations While most of those interested express the belief that the two parties will be able to agree themselves, there are some who can see no good in the new move. It seems almost certain that the miners will stand out strongly for a contract with the United Mine Work ers of America instead of yearly con tracts and conferences between each company and the men it directly em ploys as proposed by the operators. On two of the other demands increase in wages and a short work day a com promise, it is thought, can readily be made. The commission adjourned to day until December 3, and most of the pommissioners and attorneys left tor their homes.

The dedica tion today of the new buildings for th' Central High school was rendered pai ucularly notable by the presence of President Roosevelt and' several mem bers of his cabinet. Leading educa tors and men, prominent in municipal, state and national affairs participated in the exercises incident to the dedica tion which marks an important educa tional period in the history of this city. The ceremonies in Assembly hall were under the auspices of the board of public education and were witnessed by about 20,000 persons, the greater iiumber of those in attendance being alumni of the school. The high school was elaborately decorated in honor of the occasion. The national, city and school colors were draped about the building, both inside and out, and plants and flowers were scattered throughout the interior of the structure in great . profusion. The president did not arrive until the latter end of the exercises. His appearance was the occasion of an en thusiastic welcome. The new school, which was in course of construction for eight years, has cost $1,500,000. The presidential party arrived at 11:45 o'clock. As the president stepped from his car he was greeted by the reception committee selected by the board of education, consisting of Rob ert C. Lippincott, Edwin. S. Stuart and Henry E. Garsed. The president and his cabinet members entered the car riage which were in waiting, and, es corted by the First troop, Philadel phia city cavalry, and two platoons of mounted police, the party proceeded six blocks north of the railroad station. Thousands of people thronged the sta tion and lined the sides of Broad street to the school building. The pres ident was greeted with enthusiastic acclamations which he acknowledged by frequently raising his hat. As the president left his carriage at the main door of the new school he was met by the students ranked in double files to the curb. Between con tinuous Jioes of pupils the president and his party proceeded by way oi the grand staircase to the second floor and into Assembly hall, where a hearty reception was accorded him by the alumni and faculty of the school, the members of the board of education and other distinguished personages gathered there.

President Samuel Gompers was today re-elected president of the American Federation of Labor, without opposition A resolution introduced by Dc-logate Berger to increase the members of the executive council from nine to eleven was reported adversely by the commit tee on law in the labor convention this morning. Delegate H. N. Randall, of Birmingham, Ala., spoke strongly in favor of enlarging the number for the reason that the south and southwest were not represented 4n the board and he believed it was entitled to it. John P. Reese, of the mine workers, spoke in favor of the report as did Charles Sherman, of Chicago, of the metal workers. The report of the committee was adopted. The report of the grievance commit tee, which was unfinished last night, was then taken up. It related to in ternal affairs of the local unions, and, for the most .part, its sections were approved without debate. The election of officers was the spe cial order of the day for 10 o'clock and it was taken up at that hour. Delegate James J. Creamer, of the machinists, nominated President Samuel Gompers for re-election. There were no other nominations and upon motion of W. D. Ryan, of the mine workers, the sec retary of the convention was instructed to cast the unanimous vote of the con vention for Mr. Gompers. This was done and he was declared duly elected. The applause .that greeted the an nouncement was flattering in the ex treme and it was long before Mr. Gom pers could make himself heard, when he rose to thank the delegates for the honor bestowed upon him. He spoke at considerable length, promising to at tempt as much for trades unionism in the future as he had in the past. For first vice president, Delegate Ferusth nominated for re-election Jas. ouncan. Delegate Swift moved that the secretary be instructed to cast the unanimous vote of the convention for Mr. Duncan. This motion was carried and Vice-President Duncan was de clared re-elected. For second vice-president, Delegate Driscoll, of Boston, nominated John Mitchell, who was also elected unani mously. For third vice president, Delegate Mahon nominated James O'Connell, who was unanimously re-elected. As the city for the next convention, Boston wa9 the first place in nomina tion, then Philadelphia, Milwaukee. San Francisco, Asheville, N. C, and Galveston were named, Henry J. Skeffmgton, of Boston urged that the convention go to that city, that it might be held under the nose of President Eliott, of Harvard college, Dennis A. Haynes favored Philadel phia for the reason that the labor in that state was, comparatively speaking, poorly organized. r Important Engagements Should always be kept to the minute.

Outplayed at even- point, Harvard's football eleven was defeated here this afternoon by Yale, 23 to 0. The result was entirely unexpected, as the crimson players and their followers expected a close gams and to at least score. There were 20,000 spectators. Harvard won the toss and chose the south goal. Yale made a touchdown. Vale made another touchdown and kicked a goal. Score: Yale 12; Har vard 0. The ball was on Harvard's .",o-yard lirie when the first half ended. core: Yale 12; Harvard 0. Yale made a touchdown soon after the second half opened. Later Met calf kicked goal. Norfolk, Nov. 22. Although the "bet ting was 5 to 1 that Virginia would be defeated and even money that she would not score, the university boys this afternoon defeated Carlisle, 6 to 5, and the rooters for the college lads went wild. Birginia made sax in, the first half and failed to score in the second half, when Carlisle scored five. This was in the last five minutes of the last half. The Indians got a touchdown, but failed to kick the goal. From the kick off Virginia showed surprising strength, which developed and in creased as the game progressed. Af ter 10 minutes of the fiercest kind of play, Virginia, by most brilliant end rune and smashing line attacks, car ried the ball from the 30-yard line to Carlisle's 16-yard line without once losing it, and then had to turn it over on an off-side play. Newark, N. J., Nov. 22. Robert Mc Kinney, aged 23, half back for the Bloomfield Y. M. C.
