The decision was reached after six hours of consultation, the Jury returning to the courtroom at eleven minutes before midnight. The fate of Wcinselnier was announced by the foreman, George W. Pindall, who in response to an ineiuiry of the Judge said, "Guilty, as charged." No English congregation would have listened to such sermons as used to be popular in the Presbyterian ehurclies of Scotland.

Weluseiiner was brought before the judge when It was announced that the Jury was returning. His face seemed to grow pale despite the fact that he is of rather dark complexion, and his nervousness was betrayed by twitching of the hands when he stood up to face the Jury.

Mr. Thomas Boston, who wrote a book called "Prlmitiae et Ultima," was minister of the gospel at Ettrick. In a sermon on "Fear and Hope, Objects of the Divine Complacency," from the text Psalm cxlvii, 11, "Tlie Lord tuketli pleasure in .them that fear him and In those tunt hope in his mercy," Mr. Boston, "after an introduction in four sections, deduced six doctrines, each subdivided into from three to eight heads, but the last doctrine required another sermon which contained 'a practical Improvement of tlie whole,* arranged under eighty-six heads.

Ross and James Russ of the Nonpareil Cork works, Camden, who were indicted in the United States district court on the charge of conspiring against the United States government and prejudice to the government steamboat inspection laws because of selling life preservers inside of which were pieces of iron, have retracted their pleas of not guilty. These jnon, through their counsel, have tiled a demurrer and will fight the Indictment on the ground that the Indictment does not charge any offense of which they are guilty. The engagement on Monday and yesterday was nn effort by the Russian center and right to prevent the Japanese armies under Nodzu and Oku from breaking into the Shakhe valley east o/ the railway. The success of Marshal Oyama in this maneuver would not only split the Russian army in the center, but put the left wing of General Kijhipatkin'S command between Nodssii»iiml Kuroki, thus making certain its .complete destruction. It is because of i.ki.s desperate situation that three Russlail army corps have for fortyeight \Durs advanced againHt the News has just been received thai the Japanese left flank has been driven back with heavy loss and Its retreat cut off.

The Japanese made determined effort to cut the line of communication at this point and attacked under cover of a terrific cannonade. Out of one company of a Russian rifle brigade only fifty men were left. Two companies that had expended their ammunition prior to the last Japanese attack lay In the trenches until the Japanese were within a few paces. Then the Russians hurled a volley of stones, charged and broke the attacking line, compelling the Japanese to flee. - It is more tjian doubtful whether any brains or hearts south of the Tweed could have stood the struln of such discourses. But a Scotch preacher, not In the present degenerate age, has been known to prench from five to six hours at a stretch, and sometimes when one preacher had finished his sermon another would begin and there would be a succession of preachers delivering sermon upon sermon until the unhappy congregations were kept listening to "the word" for as many as ten hours without a break—Bishop WillUou in the Nineteenth Century.

Two companies that had expended their ammunition prior to the last Japanese attack lay In the trenches until the Japanese were within a few paces.
