McAlister, Campbell and Death were each sentenced to 30 yeara* im- prlBonment at hard labor and Kerr to 15 yeara' lmprisonment at hard labor. The Bentencee of all the men are tha full terms of lmprisonment whlch the law provides. but ln the caae of Kerr a flne of $1,000 might have been added. The 30 year sentencaa will be reduced by good behavior to 20 yeara. and Kerr'a sentence will be reduced to 11 yeara. The time off for good behavior ia arranged on a sliding acale and in- creasea each year. The prlBonera made a statement to the publlc yesterday in whlch they an- nounce their intention to earn the commutation for good behavior. They aay further: "We feel that we have been vlctlms. to a great extent, of the unreaaoning oatside opinion, whieh was based upon the wild and lnflammatory re¬ porta prlnted ln the metropolltan pa- pers to satisfy a morbid taste." While Judge Dixon was sentenclng the prisoners Hugh Kerr, the father of George, lay dying wlthin a atone's thii/vr »>f thm conrt house. Mr. -Kerr la dying because of the disgrace of his aon. George did not know until last nlght that his father waa ao ill. Equally Ignorant of the son's Bentence will the father remain. He does not want to hear of the case at all. THE SITUATI0N DISASTR0US.

The messenger from the Lake Implored the Unlted Statea legatlon at Caracas to afford protec- tlon, saylng that the llvee and prop¬ erty of Amerlcans were exposed to guerilla attacks. flrlng around the lake going on nightly, and the Amerlcans being too few to hold out long. United States Minlater Loomla, ac¬ cording to the same advices, replied that these reporta were posslbly ex- aggerated, but that they eould not be lgnored and that he would wlre the facta to Washington. Tho revolutlon ln eastern Vene- auela, near the asphalt depostts, is ln- creasing, but the dlsturbances are re- tnote from Caracas, whlch remalus tranqull. To I'rolill.K Vae of Gaaollae.

He know* how to treai com¬ pany and he alao knows how to handle hia eorgresjation. G >d bless Rev. Walker and hia people. One of the sad or depiorable condi¬ tion about New York ia that they can never own much churoh property in that city, Real eatate ia too dear. Three of my ehurohes are very large- ly repreaented in New York city. I was the reoipientof many preaeota, (oiae preaeota.) The laat night I praached in the Mt. Gilead Chureh it waa paoked. I preaehed that night in my humble way on the "Day of Woodera" which aer¬ mon seemed to have been enj >ved by all preaent.

Heia unaasuming in manners and bears the demeanor of one who haa spent many qiiet hours in thonghful Beelosion. Hia nime ia Mr AshtyWiae. He haa very nearly eomp'eted an invention that will revo- lutionize the world. It is the neareet maebine to perpetu- al motion we have noted.
