The plea was entered after an hour's consultation between the attorneys In the case and the doctors who had examined the defendant as to his sanity. The plea was accepted by the prosecution because of Wilson's mental condition. Wilson was sentenced to the extreme penalty.

As the matter stands, unless King Oscar consents to nominate a prince of the house of Bernadotte for the throne Norway will no doubt become republican, and a government on the Swiss model will be adopted. Continuing, the writer says: Times Will be Kemodeled tic I toy In Columbia Persistent rumors are iu circulation to tlie effect that tlie men whose arrests are being considered, if they have not already been decided upon, are Israel W. Durham, state insurance commissioner; State Senator James P. McNlcliol, Peter E. Costello, former director of public works; John W.

So much Interest has been aroused among the taxpayers of the county Beat in the mass meeting arranged by the Wilkesbarre Board of Trade for this evening, to oxpresa indignation over the course of the county commissioners in the court house matter, that it lias been found desirable to secure a larger hall than the council chamber. The meeting will, therefore, be held In court room No. 1. Tho determination of the taxpayers to go to the bottom of the trouble has already had its effect on the board of county commissioners, two of them having changed their attitude of opposition to the recommendation of the grand Jury that Architect Outerling be dismissed, Couniy Commissioner Schappert came out with a statement to the effect that he is willing to do all in his power to aid In the solution of the Mew court house tangle and stands ready to further the recommendation of the grand Jury. After County Commissioner Smith had been informed of the statement of Mr..Schappert, he said lhat he Indorsed -iivery word in it and \vu» willing to do anything that the taxpayers would command.

In justice to myself I deem it proper at this time to submit brlelly my position as commissioner relative to yhe much distussed question, the new court house. The contract, about which so much lias been said, was a creature of a former board of county commissioners, and one which I had no hand in muking. Shortly after being Inducted into office the present board of county commissioners were directed by the court to proceed with the work under contract. From breaking ground to the present lima there has been more or less friction between your commissioners, the architect and contractor;' with the architect because we have been unable to get satisfactory attention from him relative to its supervision; with the contractor because of his lack of frankness with us.
