Bridgeport, Ct., Oct. 27.—-Charles Bo— nai and David Weeks, the men who' have been sought for the murder of’ George Marcus Nichols at Daniel’s farm, in the town of Trumbull, on the morning of July 22 last, have been cap- tured. Superintendent Birmingham, head of the police department in this city; Detectives Arnold and Cronnan, and Special Officer John Keenan cap- tured them last night at the home of David Weeks’ parents in Huntington, , where they had returned late Monday night and where they were in hiding. The capture was effected without a struggle. The men were taken by sur- prise, and although armed, did not have an opportunity to use their weap- ons. The murder and robbery at the Nichols homestead caused great excite- ment throughout this part of the coun- try. _ - There was such a. demand on all sides fer a determined effort to capture the murderers that Gov. Cooke offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the murderers. This was supplemented by a'reward offered by the town of Trum- bull and also by Miss Nichols, the sis- ter of the murdered man, until over five thousand dollars was the prize to go to the persons instrumental in cap- turing the murderers. Pinkerton detec- tives were employed by. the State. but after weeks of work withdrew. RECEPTION TO NANSEN. Nearly 2,000 Persons Do Honor to the Explorer in Washington.

A Bloomsbury Latvycr to Be Tried Again for Murder. Bloomsburg, Pa.., Oct. 27.--The re- trial of Lloyd S. Wintersteen, a promi- nent lawyer of Bloomsburg, who is charged with attempting to kill Levi S. Waller and family, commenced yes- terday. ‘ This case, one of the most remark- able in the country, was first called for trial at Bloomsburg May 25, 1897, and after three weeks the jury disagreed, standing eight for conviction and four for acquittal. The case reads like a romance. Wintersteen, an ambitious and self— made man, has arisen after years Of hard work to a prominent place among his fellow men, and was one of the most active lawyers and most wealthy man in Columbia County.’ According to the story of Clifton Knorr, a college graduate and a some- what dissipated young man. Winter- steen had a grudge against Waller and plotted to kill Waller by paying Knorr to shoot him down in the street. It is alleged that when this failed he conceived the scheme of blowing up his house with dynamite and destroy- ing not only Waller but his wife and family, and his father and mother. This plot, it is claimed, also failed through the careless fusing of the dy- namite, the explosion merely destroy- ing the front of the building and in- juring no one. . Wintersteen is also accused of at- tempting to poison Knorr’s aunt throfigh the instrumentality of that young man, and for the purpose of gaining a large sum of money. Knorr says he was Wintersteen’s tool and was paid for his work. Knorr has made a complete confession, and was the chief witness for the prosecution. A panel of forty-eight jurors has been drawn for this trial. and it is ex- pected that it will take at least two days to secure a jury. The prosecu- tion claims it has secured further cor- roboration of Knorr’s testimony, and expects to present a much stronger case than at the first trial. They have, too, they say, some evi- dence that a. couple of important wit- nesses for Wintersteen were bribed to testify falsely. The men charged with proposing the alleged bribery are now under arrest. The evidence rela- tive to this feature is expected to have a. marked effect on the case. The de- fense is silent as to its strength, but some new developments are expected. Judge Ermentrout, of Reading, pre- sides, and the same attorneys are en- gaged in the case. District Attorney Graham, of Philadelphia, is the leading attorney for the prosecution, and A. S. L. Shields, of Philadelphia, is the chief attorney for the defense. HARRISON'S OPINION. Arrives Home and Talks About the New York Campaign. Indianapolis, Oct. 27.—Gen. Harrison reached home from New York yester- day, considerably tannod by his so- journ in the mountains. He said he had been running a crosscut saw and grubbing during the Summer, and looked significantly at his hands. When asked regarding New York poli- tics, he said. “As to the prospects of the campaign, I know nothing. I saw Gen. Tracy sev- eral times, but not within a week or ten days of my departure. He was busy with his campaign. I do not think that any one can predict the outcome of the campaign with so many parties in the field. The information I received came chiefly from the New York papers from day to day. The Republicans whom I met seemed to feel that they were go- ing to win. They appeared to be sin- cere in that belief, but how much they really knew about it I cannot tell.” Gen. Harrison was asked to given an estimate of Henry George, and as to his strength as a candidate. This he declined to do. Continuing he said: “I saw some of my old Republican friends who were supporting Low, and talked with them. I have nothing to say about Mr. Low. As to speeches, not talkingabout eloquence, Gen. Tracy is making a. strong campaign. The cam- paign is in a tangle that nobody at this time can tell anything about. It is pos- sible that in the days that are left there may be a turning of people from one to another bf the candidates that will change'the result greatly from any present indication.” GIRLS IN BURNT CORK A Minstrel Show Given for the Bone- fit of Mount Vernon Church. Mount, Vernon, Oct. 27.-—Mount Ver- non society was entertained last night with a minstrel performance at the Opera House, in which forty or more 'young women appeared with blackened faces and wearing short skirts of red satin, with full dress coats and waist- coats. and white shirts, collars and cuffs to match. _ Some of the parents and members of Trinity Episcopal Church, in aid of which the show was given, orginally challenged the propriety of short skirts, and for a time it looked as if this feature would be abandoned. But argu- “.cnts in favor of the short skirts ! nally triumphed. “I don't see why we can 't Wear me- -lium skirts on the stage," said one of the girls. “They’ re not near so short as the ones some of the older women who are criticising us wear when they go out for a ride on their bicycles.” Every one who saw the performance last night was pleased, and reported that it was modest and proper. The interlocutor was Miss Mary Lewis, rep- resenting QuQeen Lil of the Sandwich Islands. The tambourines were Misses Hattie and Annie Loomis, arid the bones Miss Evelyn Gra‘ham. a daughter of the rector, and Miss Blanche Mar- The ~affair ended with a cake tin. walk. It was liberally applauded thioughout. The receipts will be used to repair the 01 "an. which broke down during the se1vice only last Sunday morning. Marine Band Not to Go.

When a woman has been aban- doned by doctors to die, when she takes a medicine and gets well, when she and her husband both declare that medicine saved her life, what more can possibly be said of Dr. David Kennedy’s favorite Remedy?

Many physicians in Cortland said I could not be cured, but I am thankful to say I am cured through taking Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. It cured my cough and greatly bene- fited my neuralgia. When I began taking it, I was very weak and it built me right up. I always had sick head- ache and trouble with my stomach, and it gave me relief from them."
