When the Verdict of the Jury Was Pronounced She Sprang to Her Feet, Grasped the Arm of Her Attorney and Glared First at the Judge and Then at the Jury. The Case Will be Appealed. Monticello, N. Y., May SO. At 7 o'clock this moaning the court house bell rang announcing that the jury had agreed in the Taylor murder case. Kate Taylor, who shot and killed her husband, and then burned his body in the kitchen fire, piece by piece, was pale and looked as if she had not slept during the night. The jury had not slept and plainly show ed the effects of their sixteen hours passed in reaching the verdict. "Gentlemen, what is your ver dict?" asked Judge Howard. "We find Kate Taylor guilty of murder in the first degree," wa3 the reply. All eyes were upon the condemned woman. When the verdict was pro nounced she sprang to her feet, grasped the arm of her attorney and glared first at the judge and then at i the jury, and sank back into her chair, covering her face with her handkerchief, "and rocked back and forth with uncontrollable agitation. "I will reserve the sentence until 12 o'clock," said the judge. "Have you anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced Upon you?" asked Judge Howard of Mrs. Taylor, when she was brought into court at 12 o'clock. j "I do not intend to agitate you or make you more unhappy than you are by prolonged remarks," said the court. "You have had a fair and clean trial, and you have been de fended by able counsel. In view of the evidence the jury could not have reached any other decision than that rendered. The sentence of the court is that you be conveyed to Danne mora prison and there put to death in the manner provided by law, dur ing some period of the week of July oth." Mrs. Taylor's only sign of agitation was the continual twitching of her lips and a visible paleness. Ida May Do Kay was in court when her mother's doom was pro nounced, but appeared unaffected. The case will be appealed. HA NX A WINKS THE OTHER EYE. It looks to be a fair conclusion that the recent vaudeville act of "Cross Purposes" in Ohio means an Ohio man for the vice presidential place on the republican ticket next year. Also it seems fair to argue that the vociferous Senator Foraker will be the man who will do the kite-tail work of the ticket. As a hanger-on there are few public men his equal and since he begins to realize that the white house itself is out of his reach, ho will bo glad to play second fiddle and preside over the senate. For this honor, doubtless, he is willing to make peace with Ilanna, who will be the winner in this play of both ends against the middle. Ilanna will obtain a clear route to re-election and, by the putting of Foraker in the vice presidential nine hole, also gain a senatorial colleague more to his liking than the hre-alarm man. And right there is where Gen eral Charles Dick expects to make a landing. , fire mm. CLAIM VICTIMS BY THE HUN DRED. NO RELIEF IN SIGHT. A Night of Horrow in North To- peka Many Perish in the Burning Houses, While the Waters Carry Off Scores. Topeka. Kan.. May 30. At least 150 persons were burned to death or drowned in North Topeka Saturday and to-nieht. With a raging sea covering the entire town and every building in flames, a more accurate estimate of the number of victims is impossible. Fuller reports are like ly, however, to greatly increase the death list by adding additional names to those of the persons known now to have perished. Forced by the rising water to cling to their houses to escape the flood, and driven by the flames to plunge into the boiling current, the inhab itants have had a choice only of the manner of their death. Besides those who have already lost their lives fully five hundred more people are practically beyond hope of rescue. Seven thousand of therlO,000 in habitants who fled into the south side were destitute and shelterless. They are being cared for as well as possible by their more fortunate fel- Joty-eiti.zen3,Fir! ng 'Tern! vers ,sv. rl screaming for help, men, Women and children were perched on roofs or clinging to branches of trees when darkness fell. CURES CHRONIC CATARRH Hyomei Cures Worst Forms of This Disease in Any Part of the System. It is the height of folly to continue doctoring a catarrhal disease by stomach drugging, when the whole trouble lies in the respiratory organs where nothing can reach the germs but a local direct treatment by inha lation. Hyomei is Nature's remedy for the cure of catarrh. Just breathe it a few times daily and it will effect a cure. You may have catarrh of the stomach, liver or kidneys and Hyo mei will as surely cure it as it will catarrh of the head and throat. The catarrhal germs are in the mucous membrane or tissues and Hyomei not only kills the germs along the air passages, but enters the blood with the oxygen, killing the germs in the blood. The medicated dry air that goes through the air passages, and into the lungs when Hyomei is breathed through the inhaler that accompanies every outfit, is rich in ozone, purely vegetable and filled with marvelous healing and strength-giving quali ties. If you are tired of stomach drug ging and seem to grow weaker all the time, "throw physic to the dogs" and get wrell with the health giving Hyomei treatment thai is Nature's own method. Rev. T. B. Cook, of Ilolliston, Mass., says: "My wife has suffered greatly from catarrh for fifteen years. Nearly four wreeks ago she com menced to iise Hyomei and the bene ficial effect was immediate. It is very seldom that she needs to clear her head and throat and she is able to rest quietly at night. For years past she had been troubled with pain in her limbs wThich we- supposed was rheumatism, but since she has used Hyomei that affliction lias disappear ed." J. II. Hill & Son wiU return your money if Hyomei dc not cure you of catarrh. This shcs their faith in the remedy. MB HE IS NUMBERED AMONG BRIBE-TAKERS. His Arrest and Removal a Great Suprise in Official Circles Evidence of His Guilt Is Conclusive. Washington, May 27. Postmaster General-Payne seems at last to be convinced that there has been some thing wrong in his department. Commenting upon the arrest to-day of A. M. Machen, chief of the free delivery division, he was as emphat ic in declaring his guilt as he had been previously in expressing a belief of his innocence. Now that Machen is at last in the toils the official state ment is repeated over and over again that Fourth Assistant Bristow will not stop until he has gone to the bot tom of all charges and brought others to account who are as guilty as Machen. It is the prevailing opinion at the department that Geo. W. Beavers, the former chief of the salaries and allowance division, who resigned in such suspicious haste when the first gun in the resent in vestigation was fired, will be the next man to be placed under arrest, although there is no official indica tion as yet that any evidence con firmatory of his guilt has been dis covered. In view of the facts already iji Jligiii 'v.-i i-0ij aiiu jl Unlet btiiL- ) ling developments advertised to fol- j low, President Roosevelt will be ' confronted wTith an unpleasant situa- j tion when he returns to Washington. ! As umpire between Postmaster Gen- j eral Payne, who has until recently J contended that the alleged scandals ; in the department were myths, and j First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne, who has been accused by Payne of trying the case against Machen, Beaver & Company in the newspapers, the president will have a delicate task to perform.

Two Thousand Persons Killed and Five Hundred Houses De stroyed by an Earth quake The En tire Town Perishes. Constantinople, May 28.

The town was totally destroyed, with its entire population, numbering 2,000 souls, including 700 Armenians, as well as the troops forming the garrison of Melazgherd. In addition over 400 houses in the neighboring villages collapsed. A somewhat severe eaithquake shock was felt here this morning, but no damage was done. London, May 28. The Foreign Office here to-day received some de tails from the British consul at Erz room regarding the recent earth quake at Melazgherd, according to which a strong earth shock, lasting thirty seconds, was felt in the morn ing of April 20 throughout the entire district between Lake Van and the 'Russian frontier and - as farnvest a Kharput.

The Foreign Office has appealed for subscriptions for the relief of the des titute Mohammedans and Christians of the Melazgherd district. m m m BONDS OF STANLY.

Board of Trustees Organized Last Night Officers Elected and Plans Discussed For a Larger Hospital For Greater Goldsboro. The Board of Trustees of the new Goldsboro Hospital met last night in the "Woman's Club" and, after the preliminary temporary organization, effected permanent organization, electing Rev. F. W, Fames presi dent of the Board, Col. Jos. E. Rob inson, secretary, and Mr. Sol Weil treasurer.

Rev. Mr. Farries, as chairman of the Board of managers of the Emer gency Hospital, read the. annual and final report of their administration of that institution. It was a compre hensive, admirable and eloquent pa per, which, together with the annual report of the financial secretary, Rev. M. Bradshaw, was ordered publish ed, and the sa;ne will appear in Thursday's issue of thf Aruus. The Board of Trustees of the Goldsboro Hospital, then retained and elected the old board of mana gers of the late Emergency Hospital, as the Executive B-.mrd of the Golds boro Hospital, and the same care, philanthropy and success that char acterized the administration of the Emergency Hospital will, therefore, mark the management of the Golds boro Hospital.

To this end a committee comoosed of Messrs. Geo. A. Norwood, Jr., Jos. Rosenthal and Jos. E. Robin son, was elected, and Rev. F. W. Fames, president of the Board of Trustees, was made, ex-officio, chairman, to prosecute the duties committed to their charge and re port to an early called meeting of the Board of Trustees. The meeting then adjourned. And immediately a social session was held, the good women of the com mittee having prepared some very delightful refreshments, which were served informally and enjoyed the more by reason of the pleasant sur prise.
