Atlanta, MayT.—[Special.]—-Under- I wood is guilty of murder in the first I degree. i He must mount the gallows and meet death at the end of a hempen rope for the killing of Alex. II. Sayre. His wife must be deprived of the sup port of her husband, and the children will be bereft of a father’s care, even as that name father robbed Mrs. .Sayre of her husband, the little children of a father, and the lonely woman living in Gordon county, of an only son. That is the verdict of twelve men, good and true, chosen to pass upon the case. It was received in open court at 9 o’clock tills morning. Under.vood was perfectly composed, ami one might have thought him a spec tator as ho stood hat in hand looking upon the juror who held the indictment in his band, a paper on which appeared writing to decide his life or death. When the verdict was read, Under wood moved not a muscle of his face, and no one would ever have singled him out as the man whose doom was sealed by the words unttered by the solicitor. The ladies on both sides were out of the court room as well as- the children and there was no scene whatever. Underwood quietly took his seat and seemed perfectly calm aud collected. Immediately after the verdict of the jury was rendered a reporter approach ed Underwood and asked him what lie thought of it. ‘It is unjust,” lie replied. “I killed Sayre in self defense, just as I told the jury, and to convict me is to convic« an innocent man.” .Judge Clark announced in open court that ho would not pass sentence on the prisoner to-day, and ordered him taken hack to jail, where ho will spend the weary hours awaiting the decision of the supreme court, and then—lie will be doomed, or ho will be given another chance to hope for a new lease on life.

Cincinnati, Ohio., May 7.—The in dustrial conference to organize a now political party, or what is commonly known as the third party, which meets here on May 10th, will undoubtedly re sult from present indications in a fizzle of gigantic proportions. Anarchists and communists captured the convention Wednesday night, gotting 15 out of the 20 delegates from this city. They insist upon having red Hags deco rate the hall instead of the stars and stripes. Captain Powers, the repre sentative of the citizens’ Allianco, is a member of the Grand Army of the Re public, and lie is In a terrible stew ovor it. HIS FLAG NO PROTECTION.

Baltimore, Md., May 7.—During the inquiry into the loss of tho British steam ship Thanemore, which disappeared while on a voyage from Baltimore to London last fall, Mr. Johnson, tlio owner of the steamship, said he was of the opinion that sho was burned at sea in consequence of had packing of the cotton which she carried. He said that tho carrying of cotton was very risky, in in spite of the promises of better pack ing.

Adam Reneker, ex-member of tlie Kentucky legislature and the Coloncl-with-the- United-States-fiag, has been knocked out by his own son. The Colonel went home one night last week the worse for liquor and struck his daughter-in-law with his cane. The son came to his wife’s rescue, and broke the old man’s nose and jaw. The Colonel is now in bed nursing his injuries. Col. Reneker is about 05 years old, a giant in size, and one of the most eccen tric men in tills section. Ever since the war he lias carried about with him the Hag under which he fought in tho Mexi can war. He was chosen a delegate to the convention that first nominated Cleveland, and carried his old Hag with him. When Cleveland was nominated the Colonel unfurled his banner on the j street corner and began a harangue, j He soon drew a crowd, and the police ordered him to move on and lower his flag. He wrapped the stars and stripes about him and shouted: ‘‘I fought un der this Hag in Mexico. I didn’t lower it then, and I dare you to have it low ered now.” The police left him alone with his flag. He carried it to Cleveland’s inau guration and was the butt of many jokes. In IKSfi lie was elected to repre sent his county in tho legislature by practical jokers, and served one term. His injuries are of a serious character, and he may dii*. A Common Disease.
