L. Baker, Superintendent, at the building E. C. MAHTEN, Secretary. When Judge Mcllrlilo yttitcrday afternoon pronounced sentence upon J.

J. Kcnney, convicted by the Jury In 111" ro of assault with a deadly weapon upon A. Y. Row, an affecting scene took pla -f In the court room, which waa crowded with attorneys and Interested spectatora. The circumstances of the rase were well known to all.

the morning or August 1st. Kenney followed Itona and his wife from the restuu-rant where lhy hud taken breakfast to Mr. Rosa' plat of business, using lanitunire. following them Into the room, and there continuing hla allure. Mr.

Itosa threw him out of the room, raised a brick and threw It at him, striking him. and a few moments later Kenney pulled a revolver and flrd at Ross through toe open dixir of his office. The grand Jury rendered an Indictment, and after a lengthy trial of the case, the Jury returned a verdict of guilty aa charged, and recommending the lcf.Ti.lnnt to the mercy ot the court. The court appointed the hour of 1:30 ytnterduy afternoon for pronouncing sentence. When the defendant was asked If he hnd anything to say why sentence should not lx pronounced, his attorney, Mr.

Wlnton. arose and made one of the must eloquent Plens for mer cy ever heard lu a Clatsop county court room. He rcclti-d kcvciuI ivtiinces of a similar nature nsvntly decided In this court, slid urged Unit In his belief It as the Intent Inn and purpose of the low not only to protect the cltlsens of a cuhiimimty. and puiilHh offend, but to reform a crlmlnu! whenever It was possible. History, poetry, and ull th gruces of the arts were called upon to deniointiute that as time progressed It bud Im-cii found more expedient and efficacious to dcil leniently with men who, hiivlng irunsgressisl the law In a moment of passion, were sorry for their deed und willing to made amends.

In this particular Instance the counsel urged that the defendant was under the Influence of lluiior and only partially responsible for his acts, nnd yet the law tixik no coKiilxnnee auch a condition. Hut he stilted to the court that he believed that Mr. Kenney regretted deeply what he hud done, and that ir the shame and stigma of the brand of state's prison were kept from hla name and that If bis wife and children were not disgraced to that degree, that he and they In the future would live apart from the enxlionments which had brought about their present great trouble. He did not ask for the lowest sen-tenre thnt could be pronounced under the law, but stated that If a fine Was Imposed, that he, himself, would make every effort to ulil the defendant In raising It, und he bclievcM that from henceforth, as others had done towards whom clemency had been shown, the defendant would lend a different and better life. A aen.tutlon swept over the courtroom as Judge Wlnton, during bis remarks, turned towards IMstftct Attorney T.

J. Cleeton, and In a manly and effective manner apologized to that gentleman for the abuse he had heaped upon him during the nrguments In the trial, which he attributed to the excitement of the moment, and the heat of trial. He said that never before. In all his practice, had he felt so keenly the thrusts given him, and sharp replies made by the district attorney, who, he auld, had throughout the case proved himself to be not only a gentleman, but a thorough lawyer and logician of the highest ability. Closing his address to the court, Judge Wlnton made a final appeal which visibly affected the court and all thoae present.

When asked If he had anything to say In rebuttal, District Attorney Cleeton replied that he left the matter entirely with the court. Before leaving his argument, Judge Wlnton read a letter from the prosecuting witness, A. Y. Ross, drawn up before Judge A. A.

Cleveland nnd duly signed, and addressed to the court, and which begged for mercy for the defendant, Mr. Wlnton suld that If he lived, he hoped to be able to write upon the gravestone of Mr. Ross, the epitaph, "Here lies a good witness and an honest man." In delivering sentence Judge McBrlde said: "I have very carefully considered this case. It Is a cose that appeals very much to the feelings of thu court, and those feelings are not diminished by the very eloquent plea of the counsel In his behalf, or by the letter read from the prosecuting witness. The object of punishment Is two fold.

The first Is to reform the offender and to prevent If possible his committing similar acta in the future, and the second Is to deter others from committing like offenses. The offense In this case was of a grave character, and only by an accident was a li ii ma life not taken, and the more serious offense, was the violation of the HkIiIs of mun In Ills own house. If there Is anything sacred to an American i lilzi'ii It Is tlm right to be unmolested In his ow house or plocn of business. In this case It uppcais that the ili feiidunt entered Into the bouse and there ul very Improper and profane lunKUiige UKUltuit tha prosecuting witness and In the hearing of Ills wife. Such language was used aa would provoke almost any man under similar circumstances (l take exactly tlwj course that Mr.

I toss look In this case. He did nothing more than nine out of ten men would have done If the same language had been used towards them under the same conditions, and the tenth mun would probably have taken more extreme measures." "On the other hand, the crime is somewhat tnltlgutei) by the fact that the defendant was In liquor at the time, und probably not wholly responsible for the language he used, and that be used such language us he would not lutve employed bad he ben perfectly I am well with the defendant, and knew blm for a lofig time while I was district attorney here uud he waa deputy sheriff. He performed his duties faithfully and so far us I am able to say, was a good and ptlb lent officer, and has that much placed to his credit. I am disposed to think that liquor was much to blame for the act he committed. This should bear Ita lesson to all others.

Those who are now, perhaps even In this courtroom, treading the pathway In which this defendant made his mistake. should stop and turn about pause be fore they full from a habit of this kind. The legitimate end of all such ways results In almost certain disgrace. HURRICANES AND IIICII TIDES Atlantic Coast Visited by Kind and avcs, Destroying Much l'routrty. ALL REACHES SWEIT CLEAN Like It Known In Tears Ilulldlngs and Hoard Walks Piled High or Carried Out to Sea-Coney Island Buffers.

New York. October 12. A veritable hurricane has swept iver this section today, the wind blowing with terrific forco, reaching at Sandy Hook a velocity of Vi miles, an hour laat night. The tides rose to a height many feet greater than has been seen for years and the waves all along the Atlantic coast sw ept In with a force that carried everything before them and did dam age to the amount of many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sandy Hook and points along the Jersey coast felt the fury of the storm moit of all.

But Coney Island expe rienced, so far aa haa been learned, the most direful results. The beaches were swept clean, pavilions were overturned and carried seaward, bath houses and board walks, every thing not far Inland on the famous Island, waa turned up and piled high beyondthe coast line, or carried out to sea. At Brighton Beach the stone walks In front of the big bo te! were under water and toward the There Is only one out of a very large jend of the afternoon the famous Seldl proportion of the crimes of the day concert hall was Inundated and partial-wblch cannot be tracts! to and for ty carried awav. The well keDt lawns which th- liquor habit Is not responsible." ''A 1 said before. I have considered this cii.se Very rnrssfully.

Personally 1 noiil.l like to put ii "01 the defendant the lightest sentence that the law will penult, believing that he probably would not be guilty of repeating Ibis offense. Hut the object of the luw Is not wholly for the purpose of prevent lug the defendant (rum again comnijt- tliiK the same offense. It has another object that Is, a warning to other people lo abstain from offenses of a like character, nnd the further object of an assurance to law abiding people that their Uvea und their property will be protected. So In this cose, If 1 Inflicted upon this defendnnt the least penalty there would be very little In that to deter others from similar offenses, and very little assurance to others that when they were nssaulted In their own houses and exercised the right Inalienable to all, to put an Intruder out of their house, the offender would be pun ished. If at all, only slightly.

I do not feet like Inflicting the lowest punish ment the law provides In this case. After very carefully considering all the facts In this matter, I have concluded to Intllct such a punishment as In my best Judgment will deter others from committing like offenses, and will give an assurance to law abiding people that their homes will be protected from Insult nt the hands of all Intruders. In rendering decision, I take the letter of the prosecuting witness Into considera tion: also the recommendation of the Jury in this case, in which the mercy the couit is Invoked, and the plea made In his behalf by counsel. 'The defendant will stand up. 'It Is the Judgment of this court, con- I sUlcring all the circumstances of this case, that you be confined in the state penitentiary for one year." In front of the Oriental Hotel and Manhattan Ik'uch Hotel were laid waste and the lower portions of the hotels were flooded.

Innumerable small buildings were simply picked up bodily and carried away by the wind or waves. At Far Kockaway the fury of the gule was indescribable. These houses which were built on piles on the sand were washed away and those higher up which for years have ten out of the reach of the highest tides, were to day Hooded. Along the Jersey coast most of the damage done was to piers and to breakwaters. Preparations had been made, aa forewarnlngs of the storm had been given some days before.

As yet very little damage to shipping has been reported, for on account of the arnlngs, many crafts delayed gall lng, and others that had cleared there returned for safe anchorage. speeches In Indiana.

They will receive 270 electoral votes. Bryan will receive 110, and there are six states having 6i electoral votes which are doubtful, but the probablli ties at present point to the fact that these 67 will go Into the Republican column and be udded to the 270 now assured for McKlnley and Hobart.

The board of review aecluwl to place the ticket on the official ballot under the title "Independent Gold Standard Democracy."

Bryan, tonight gave the following signed state ment to the Associated Press: "I see It stated in the press reports that I have bolted Mr. Bryan, my law- partner, now candidate for president of the United States on the Democratic ticket. I have always been and now am a Republican, but no man has a greater admiration or higher regard for Mr. Bryan than I have. His honesty, integ rity and patriotism cannot be ques tioned.
