THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, TUESDAY, MAT 3, 189a DEEMING IS DOOMED. Before the Death Sentence Is Pro nounced He Makes a Speech, PLEADING HIS MENTAL DISEASE. The indience Denounced as the Sacs He Had Ever Seen. Ugliest i TIRADE AGAISST JDDGE AND JTJET JIelboubite, 3Iay 2. This was the last day of the celebrated Deeming murder trial. After the evidence was all in the prisoner's counsel appealed to the jury to give the prisoner the benefit of any doubt that they might entertain as to his sanity or insanity. It was generally thought that the trial would end to-day, and, consequently, the court room was packed. !Xo one thought it would tate the jury long to decide the fate of the accused. Outside of the court house a large crowd assembled, and they were clamorously impatient for the verdict. They finally became so demonstrative and noisy that the police were forced to clear the street. Finally the jury returned and delivered their verdict. Their decision was murder in the first degree, and that Deeming was not insane when he committed it The prisoner was then sentenced to death. The announcement of the verdict was greeted with expressions of general satisfaction, for no one believes that there is a particle of doubt as to Deeming's guilt, not only of the murder here, but ot those committed at Uain Hill, near Liverpool. Deeming Begins an Hour's Speech. Before the jury retired the Crown coun sel contended that there was- not a particle of evidence of the insanity of the prisoner, and he said that the jury ought to dismiss all such nonsense from their minds. At this point Deeming interrupted. It was not the law, he said, but the press that was try ing him. If he could bring himself to be lieve that he committed murder he would plead guilty rather than submit to the gaze cf the people in the court the ugliest race he had ever seen. Some of the witnesses against him, he said had deliberately lied. "Whatever he could say would be "disbelieved. His wit nesses had been kept out of the way. People had sw orn to seeing him whom he had never seen in his life. No time had been allowed him to communicate with his witnesses in England and India. It is not pleasant to confess to disease, mental or otherwise, but he had determined to do so in justice to himself and the com munity. For weeks together he had suf fered lapses of memory. In his own mind he knew he was not guiltv. As long as Emily Mathers had been his wife he had dealt with her as gently and as affection ately as it was possible'for any man to deal with a woman. The prisoner, continuing, said: Be Says Emily Mathers Is Alive, I remember no incident which would lead to this awlul crime with which I am charged. 1 know that the jieople of Mel bourne are so infuriated against me that they would lynch me if they had a chance. That, however, would not settle tho ques tion of my guilt or innocence. The jtate tnent that the body found in this city was that of Eniilv Mathers is a lift. Mr nnVnr- fort is the knowledge that Emily Mathers is alire. The newspapers have ruined my life for evermore. If 1 were treed to-night I would droit n myself. I have foujrht the blacks on the Zambesi, and hav encountered lions single-handed. I do not fear death. I do not expect justice from cither the Jndge, the Jury or the public. In stead of the trial being postponed so as to enable my counsel to collect evidence show ins my innocence of the horrible crime for which I am beimr tried for my life, it was fixed to occur when the public was enraged against me. Deeming minutely criticised the evi dence, and declared that a verdict of guilty wouldiehe greatest relief to him. He said that his use of assumed names was a iad with him. IJeemin- Itetarns Thanks for the Verdict. Alter the verdict was announced, at 9 o'clock Deeming asked the Judge to refrain from the usual exhortation. The Judge complied with the prisoner's wish, and simply announced the sentence of death. Deeming composedly responded, "Thank you. when the sentence had been pro- nonnced, Deeming said that after his death the public would soon know his real his tory. It was better that the law should de stroy him than that he should destroy him self. He would only like to know that Jliss Kounsevcll believed him innocent. In a strong voice he continued to ramble in a similar strain for a long time. Beach ing the rails for support, he concluded by swearing that he was innocent He spoke altogether an hour, giving no sign of hesita tion or nervousness. Deeming can delay execution by an ap peal from the verdict in the colonies, which appeal must be heard by the Judicial Com mittee of the Privy Council in London. If the Judges accede'to the petition to rehear, a further inquiry will occur. The last instance of the kind was the case of the Canadian rebel, Lonis KeiL A TON OF DYNAMITE STOIEH. The Latest Movements or tho Irrepressible Anarchists or Europe. Berlin-, May 2. Reports have reached here that over a ton of dynamite and gun powder has been stolen from the magazines at Corfu, the Greek island in the Mediterra nean, where the King of Greece makes his summer residence. No details are given, but it is thought the dynamite and gunpow der were stolen in small quantities at a time by men employed in th magazines. A dispatch 'from Albany, capital of the French Department of Tarn, says a dynamite cartridge exnloded in n livstr in that ,. last night. The explosion caused considera ble damage. Of course, every one believes the explosion was the workoi an Anarchist, but there is no clew to his identity. Many peddlers of photographs lrequented the Paris boulevards last night. Ot their stock in trade the photographs of the Marquis de Mores and Bavachol met with the most ready sale. Adispatch from Liege, Belgium, says: A dynamite cartridge exploded on the threshold of a house in the Boulevard-Sau-veniere this evening. The house and a building adjoining were partially wrecked, the flagstones were torn up and all the win dows were smashed. Trench Republicans Still Gaining. Paius, May 2. M.

SULLIVAN. aiodjmka In As Yon Like It as Charming as Ever, rnd Her Support Ii Very Good The Champion PnslIIst as an Actor Tho Voodoo, a Knock-About Farco Comedy All tho Plays in Town Criti cised. Shakespeare's comedy "As You Like It" was presented at tho Duquesno Theater by a company that is not merely a good support to Hodjeska, the eminent star, but lor the most part far more satisfactory than any that has essayed to interpret tho greatest of all dramatists in these parts of late. Modjeska is still the great artist and the charming woman that wo have known for years, and her embodiment of Rosalind is as polished and refined as ever, and distinctly her own rendering of Shakespeare's delicions creation. She is at hor best in the dainty love passages w ith Ortando in the ci oenwood glade, and thehabilimentsof perfidious man, it may be obsered, seldom have fallen upon a more shapely Jioialind. Mr. Thalberg's Or lando can hardly bo said to possess the same physical characteristics, and the performance lacks ardor and manlv intensity. But Mr. Thalberg has amelodious voice and ho is evidently a careful student or Shakespeare, as the beauties of the text at least were well dis played by him. After tho realistic wrestling match a welcome change from the usual faice an Orlando less of a chamber knight ruichtbavo been looked for. Mr. John A. .Lane was of course simply admirable as Jacques his rendering of this character will live as a tradition of the stace. Mr. Beau mont Smith, in spite of a recent calamitous descent into a pit, played Touchstone in a dry and truly Shakespearean style. Mrs. Smitli was graceful as Celia, and was another of those who dealt reverently with the text. Most of tho others were good, and heie and there a careful bit of actinir revealed merit in minor lolos, as for instance the bucolio placidity expressed in all tho words, looks and attitudes of Corrn, the shepherd, played by Mr. It. P. Carter. Tho scenery was nicely ordered. To-night "Marie Stuart" will bo given, with Modjcska iu the title role. John I Sallivan as an Actor. There weie packed into tho uallery of the BIJou Theater last night UTS men and boys, and tho rest of tho houo was pretty well filled. The stage was occupied by a numbor of people and a play, but to uso a congenial phrase, they were not In it. Tho audience was there to see ouo man. John L. Sullivan and they would havo endured Booth in "Hamlet" with Just an much patience as a prelude to the j;rent man's entiance. Tho play is not a bad comedy-drama, as they call the milder sort of melodrama noadays, and the company is fair. Mr. Sullivan, as everyone knows, is a great actoi not in his mindassomo inflated nobodies aie, but in his flst, and "llonest Hearts nd Willing Hands" gives him a eood-sized chance to use them picturesquely. Wisely the man agers put the boxing bout near tho final curtain, thus enMirimr a largo audience till tho last. When the champion finally came on in green tights and proceeded to pat Mr! Jack Ashton with the playful insistence and lorce of a bpar that has been brought up in a gymnasium, tho UTS in the gallery howled and the more than too in tho parquet lrarlcd the welcome back. The throe short rounds did not dovelop any real artistic slngsinsr, and tho give and take slaps merely whetted tho audience's desire for some realism. "Hit him hard!" "Biff him. John:" "Why don't yer slug him7" were tho fioqnent erios, but to no effect. Mr. Snllivan, looking very lat and much slower in his movoments than when last seen here, punched Mr. Ashton Donderously but peilunctorily, and then the audience departed. A Hoodno for Good Luck. As n nierry knook-about farco comedy "Tho Voodoo" is about up to the standard. It made a good-sized audience laugh heartily for two hours and more last night at the Grand Opera House, and that is as much as larce comedy can be expected to do, wo sun pose. The ridiculous story of a superstitious woman's hunt for tho seven hairs from a man's beard that shall bring her great good luck, is leally woll kept up through three acts. Tho chief color in it is tho alleged Irish comedy. Nearly all the charactets are broad burlesque of tho Irish raco in the usual stage style. Messrs. Steve Staley, W. A. Mack, Edgar Norton and Will Carleton are the principal comedians, and they all succeed in making themselves very laughable. Tho fun goes along in a fast and furions stream all through the play. In tho second act tho old idea of bathing nouses at the sea shore is exploited once more, and with funnv re sult. Miss Ada Bothner's serpentine dance, under a new name, is a rather taking feat ure, and the other specalties in act II. aro all pretty good, Mr. Mack repeating a lecita tlon that he gavo here in "A Jolly Surprise." Tho singing or Alonzo Hatch won him an encore, and, indeed, most of tho songs and chorus sprinkled oer the piece wore rode manded. The audience laughed and ap plauded with apparent enthusiasm. Tho World's Museum-Theater. Andrew J. Seymour's mind-reading per formances had a mysterious power about them that aided In attracting an unusually largo house at the World's Musoum-Theater yesterday. Then there was a very clever vaudeville performance on the stage that would havo been worthy of high praise even in comparison with more renowned com panies on the road. In tho curio hall Soto Salutaro, the Jao, performed somo magical tricks that would have pleased an Indian fakir, had ho witnessed them. Mr. Seymqur will do his great inind-ieading feat with a carriage etc., to-day, as the storm prevented his doing it yesterday. The Academy of Music Sam T. lack's Creole Burlesque Com pany attracted a crowded house at the Academy last evening. There aro some good perrormers in the company and they were well icceived last night. "The Tropical Revelries" introduced some very entertaining artistes, such as Miss Sadie DeWolI. Sails, Elexmay .and W. S. Bar nett. Ficd Piper, a descriptive vocalist, is a pleasing performer. The acrobats, Will iams. Smart and McGowan, aro very clever in their business. Tho company is sure to be vi ell pationized. The Connty Circus at Davis. The first circus of the season opened to a packed house at Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum-Theater yesterday afternoon, and repeated its triumph in the evening. Al though tho county circus exhibits in a build ing, it is bigger than some of the circuses of the piescntday. Tho acrobats and eques trian and other performers with tho organiza tion are stars in their particular line. Clark Gibhs is very funny as the clown. The show is good throughout. Tho street rjarade yesterday morning was a big success.though it -nas rather damp when it finished. The UnrrU Theater. "Two Old Cronies" has about as much ex cuse for its existence as the majority of farce comedies. It affords a vehicle for some clever specialties. The Wills brothers aro fair comedians and their company is above the average. Miss Norma Wills seems a little out of her sphere in larce comedy. With her lace, figure and voice particu larly the latter she would far outshine many a comic opera star. Dramatic Notes. The United States Marine Band gives two concerts here on Thursday. Fraxk Fisuek, an Allegheny boy, is one or the clever people in "Two Old Cronies" at Harris' Theater this week. "Ma. Wilkisos's Widow" comes to the Alvin Theater next week.

Jennie Staufler, aged 1C, of Etna, is held in the Twenty-eighth ward station on a charge of incorrigibility. She was found in the house of Mrs. Sponnenberger when the latter was arrested yesterday morning. The police say she was arrested once before forsiealing, hut after she was convicted, Judge Porter suspended sentence. She will probably be sent toMorganza to reform. THE BUSINESS WORLD. New Purchases Make the Pennsy a Beal Rival of the Beading In THE ANTHRACITE COAL TRAFFIC. Temescal Has Sufficient Tin Ore to Supply tho Whole Country. FIRES, FAILURES AND JAILWAT NEWS Philadelphia, May 2. Almost every day brings fresh indications of the aggres sive policy which the Pennsylvania Kail road has entered upon in the anthracite coal trade. Following the chartering of the Tomkschen, Millsville and Eastern Kail road, an eight-mile road which the "Pennsy" will build in the Lehigh region to reach the Stout collieiy, whose output it has bonght, comes an authoritative announcement that the company has also purchased the output of the "William Penn colliery, near Shenan doah, one oi the largest in operation in the Schuylkill region. Its annual output of about 300,000 tons now' passes over the Read ing Kailroad, but by building a short branch of about a mile and a half from the Schuyl kill valley, the Pennsylvania can reach the colliery. The proprietors are E. & G. Brooks, the iron men of Birdsboro. The new arrangement goes into effect to-day. By these new acquisitions the Pennsyl vania has increased its annual anthracite tonnage to easilv 5,000,000 toes, an amount which on a total production of 40,000,000 tons last year's figures, is equal to 12 per cent. If pushed to the full capacity, the collieries controlled by the Pennsylvania can readily, it is said, turn out 7,000,000 tons, or 17.5 per cent on a basis of 40,000,000 tons. This is sufficient to prevent effectual ly any monopoly ot the coal trade by the Beading, ii the latter should attempt it. Add to the "Pennsys" tonnage that of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, the New York, Ontario and Western Kailroad and the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, which are not in the Heading combination, and the total tonnage ot the independent companies is between 30 and 40 per cent of the total. THE TIN OF TEMESCAL. Sufficient Ore There to Itun All the 91111s in the Country for Years. Yotoostowk, May 2. Special. Lloyd Booth, a leading iron founder has returned to-day, havinir spent tho winter on the Pacif io slope. He said: "One object of my trip was to ascertain from personal observation tho extent of tho deposit of tin in the Temescal mines, as wo are building a large amount of tin plate machinery, and I came away woll pleased. As to its value, the cele brated tin ore of Cornwell, England, assays 2 per cont, while the Temescal assays from 6 to 7 per cent. I would rather have an Interest in those mines than anything else. "There is enough tin oro in sight at Temes cal to run all the tin plate plants for years." Indianapolis Cigar Makers' Strike. Isdiakapolis, May 2.

DO CLOTHING BUYERS KNOW THIS? A Quotation From an Eminent Authority: "The clothing industry of the United States is simply without a parallel. There is nothing like it in volume of product, value of output, variety of styles, excellence of workmanship, beauty of fashions or in general con venience and economy to be found else where in the world. Including all classes, the people of the United" States, are more uniformly well dressed than those of any other nation. It is also true that they are enabled to array themselves thus comfortably and taste fully with less exertion than is re quired from the people of any other nation. Better clothing is sold to-day for less cost than ever before in the history of this country." HE WILL VERIFY IT. The above is easily proven by a visit to our store. Never before in our hiBtory did we give such values as we do this spring.
