Ills Accompllce Betrays Him—Cold- Blooded Crimea Bridgeport, Ct., Dec. 9.—-Charles Bo- nai, accused of the] murder of George Marcus Nichols, nearbere, last July, is on trial for his life. His companion- inecrime, David Weeks; who is also charged with murder, took the stand yesterday and told all the details of one of the most brutal murders that ever occurred in this puritanical com- monwealth. 'Weeks said that Bonai fired two shots, one of which killed the aged farmer and the other nearly en ed the days of Mary Nichols, the dead man’s sister. His story of the crime was a startling tale of feasting over the body of a dying victim. Bonai had reasons for believing that his partner was going to betray him, and he trembled violently as Weeks took the stand. Weeks would not tell the story until he had made sure that Bonai was securely guarded. Besides Weeks, the principal witness for the prosecution will be Miss Mary Nichols, sister Of the murdered man, . who was alone with him in their house 1the night .Of the crime, and was her- 5 self shotby the assassins. . The murder of Nichols was a particu- ‘1 larly cold-blooded crime. He was an 'old and wealthy farmer, and lived at ,the hamlet of Daniels Farms, _ miles from. this city. ‘ who is 58 years Old, he had lived on his nine With his sister, farm of 140 acres all his life. His ‘ neighbors looked upon him as eccentric and a little miserly. On the morning of July 21 last Nich- ols and his sister were awakened about 1 O’clock by a. noise in the house and started down stairs to investigate. ‘ ;Nichols went first and his sister fol- lowed, carrying a lamp. They had reached the dining-room and started to walk to the door leading into the yard ' when it was suddenly burst open and two masked men rushed in. Both carried revolvers and fired at once. One bullet struck Nichols and the other his sister. Nichols sank to the floor with a groan. Miss Nichols, struck in the shoulder, to her room. One Of the robbers fol- ilowed her and forced her to give him all the money she had, $85, and to. tell where her brother had $100 concealed. The robbers then ransacked the house, securing a-small sum, and after- wards sat dowu by their victims and made a. meal on cider, bread and cheese they found in the pantry. About 3 o’clock they left the houseand two hours afterwards Nichols died. Miss Nichols fainted and did not revive un- til 8 O’clock, when she gave the alarm. Bonai and Weeks were arrested sev— eral weeks afterward, having been pur- sued all over the county. HOW HAYTI COME DOWN. Berlin R'eceives Official Report of the Republic’s Humiliation. Berlin, Germany, Dec. 9.——The Official account of the collection of an indem— nity from Hayti, accompanied by a sa- lute of the German flag, etc., at Port au Prince, on Monday last, owing to the alleged illegal arrest Of Herr Emil Lueders, says that after the ultimatum of Germany had been delivered to the Haytian Government, giving the latter eight hours in which to comply with the demands, the German cruiser Stein, which, with the Charlotte, was sent to enforce the contention of the German Minister, cleared for action, and took up a. position close to the Haytian war . vessels. A diplomatic request for delay in the execution Of the ultimatum was re- fused, and, half an hour before the ex. piration of the stipulated time, all the demands of Germany were conceded, and the sum insisted upon as an in- demnity ($30,000 to be paid to Herr Lueders), was on board the Charlotte before 4 p. m. The Haytlan Govern- ment’s letter of apology to Germany arrived shortly afterward. TO STOP FlLlBUSTERS. Gage Shows \Vhat an Emcient Ally “7e Have Been to Spain.

I‘he “Vindow-Gluss Workers Have Lost $24,000 by Their Dissensions. Pittsburg, Dec. 9,—The acceptance by the glass workers of the scale offered by the manufacturers does not mean a permanent agreement on all points. A. U. Freezee, general selling agent for the glass, manufacturers, and several other members of the association say that changes will,be demanded in the arbitrary shop scales, which now limit the output, restrict the trade and co..— fine apprenticeship to a narrow limit.

WANTS CUBA nsooemzro He Declares That the Conunorcizr Spirit of the United States In Pre- venting Action—House Holds a Fifteen-Minute Session. Washington, Dec. 9.—Mr. Allen (Pop, Neb.), introduced in the Senate yester- day a resolution declaring it to be the, sense of the Senate that Congress. should, with all due convenient speed, acknowledge the independence of Cuba. He followed it with a speech, declaring that the commercial spirit of the United States was preventing action. He said that he had long urged rec- ognition of the independence Of the Cubans. He would not be content with the recognition Of belligerency, but would insist upon the acknowledgment of absolute political liberty. He was satisfied that the people would not be é content with the course advised by the (Administration. Inasmuch as the Cu- , fbans, for more than two years, on 3 many battlefields, had demonstrated their valor and love for liberty, he felt ' that they had earned a recognition of their political liberty, and that it ought ito be accorded to them without fur- ther temporizing. If necessary, this i recognition should be backed by a. fleet of American vessels in Cuban waters. He expressed a. belief that the owners of Spanish bonds in this country, American citizens holding property in Cuba Which'had been injured or de- stroyed by the insurgents, and the car- ' rying trade of the country, which might be affected by such a step, had joined to prevent the recognition of . Cuba’s independence. . Mr. Allen said that he believed that President McKinley’s statement in his message that the recognition of the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents is now unwise and therefore inadmis- sible, would be a great disappointment United States. The national conven- tion of that party had declared in fa.- vor of the independence of Cuba, go~ ing farther than the simple recognition of the belligerency. He thought that . the President was under obligations to carry out the pledge which his party had made—a pledge which had been made to seventy—three millions Of peo~ ple. The President, Mr. Allen thought, had been lulled to sleep by the decla- ration Of Spain that she would give Cuba 3. semi—political existence. He expressed the belief that the Presi- dent’s neglect to take such action as would insure the political independence of Cuba was an exhibition Of “rank hypocrisy” and a “flagrant neglect of public duty," which would be corrected by the "all-ruling' power in His own good time.” Mr. Davis (Minn), reported from the Committee on Foreign Relations, a bill prohibiting the killing of fur seals in the North Pacific Ocean.

Washington, Dec. 9.—The Committee of the Rules of the House, of which Speaker Reed is chairman, will get to- gether during the holidays to consider such change of the House‘rules as has shown to be desirable, It is not ex~ pected that these will touch any vital of routine changes to facilitatethe dis- patch of business. The three House committees on elec- tions are beginning to map out their work with a viewto determiningcon- tested-election cases at the earliest pos. sible day. There are twenty-one of these contests pending. Some of these will require extended hearings, but quite a number can be disposed of without much delay. p ' The House Committee on Foreign Affairs will hold‘ its first meeting to- day,‘ when Chairman Hitt will name the sub-committees which will consider the several questions of Cuba, Hawaii, etc. Thus-far there has been no con- sultation on the general line of opera- tion on the numerous foreign subjects before the committee.

LINCOLN’S TOMB. ITS PRESENT CONDITIONA osseRAcs .‘ . TO ILLINOIS. tributed by the People, and the True! field--—A Sgrry Spectacle. Lincoln’s tomb is a monument of dis- pride is fast making Springfield one. oi the most beautiful of State . capitals. The magnificent building which houSes the government was in the days of ap- proaching completion described as a palace in a cornfield. Since then the city surrounding has been improved to worthiness of the setting. paved streets, well shaded, a l'ook oi general thrift in the business center and long vistas of pretty homes in well—kept grounds, it now corresponds to a noble Capitol which has no su- perior in massive symmetry and in convenient adaptation to its purpOSes, and is exceeded in liberal expenditure by only one other building of the kind, that at Albany. Springfield is an hon- or to the State. But in strangecon- trast to all else that commands ad- miration is the condition of the tomb. ,Illinois-assumed a sacred trust when the question of the disposition of the remains of the martyred President was settled. That trust has not been kept. A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe- Democrat, writing from Springfield, says that the friends of Lincoln feel the neglect keenly. They are anxious to see public sentiment aroused and the Legislature reminded of its duty. There is neither defense nor explanation oi the neglect. When the custodian opens the grated doors and takes the visitors into first the crypt and then the me- morial' chamber, his introductory words are regretful. In the crypt the plaster has fallen from the arched roof, and, more than that, gaping crev- ices have Opened in the brick masonry. A little more of this inattention and the roof will cave down upon the flom under which, covered by concrete, are the caskets of President and Mrs. Lin-. coln. 0n the other side of the burial crypt the memorial room is in scarcely bet- ter condition. With every rain the wa- ter comes through the vaulted roof. It has blackened and stained ceiling and walls. It. has made a great blotch oi the once bright colors of the coat of arms. Prevailing dampness has mil- dewed and rusted the none too numer- ous relics. In this chamber are kept the surveying instruments Lincoln as ~—-w—_b—-. ed to save the life of his grandfather in Kenutcky when an Indian crept up- on him at work on his farm, the great book in which every child in the public schools of Philadelphia wrote his or her name attached to the expression oi sorrow at the time of death. The stOne tablet which the Romans sent from the walls of the Eternal City to commem- orate emancipation, likening the act of Lincoln to that of one of the early Emperors who freed the slaves, is in the chamber. The bronze bust of Wil- liam the Silent, who also died by as- sassination, has a place. The walls are covered with the memorials forwarded from all parts of the country. For such a Collection of historical value the State is not manifesting sufficient care to keep the 'fain out. The tomb cost $270,000. This money the most of it, was raised by voluntary contributions. Large sums came from the troops in the field, single companies contributing several hundred dollars. It is little enough -that Illinois should maintain the granite pile in’a state of tolerable repair. 0n the outside the cement has dropped from between the courses, and many of the blocks are out of line. Even the approaching walk is cracked and broken and uneven. One might suppose that with such a number of visitors to the tomb there Yet the car line by which the mile and more of distance from the business cen- ter is made does not run to the place. but steps in a park where refreshments stands, a dancing pavilion and the usual inducements to local patronage From the end of the track a cinder path winds down the 11111.. There a dusty road is crossed.'A gate admits to the cemetery. By a walk up the valley past the stone vault where the body was at first deposited, the way is over the slope Where more people stood on that day when the na- tion mourned than have ever been gathered in the Illinois capital city since. The tomb, square and squat, a hollow stone tower rising from the center, is on the crest of a. gentle slope with a reservation of nine or ten acres of sward and trees about it. On one side stands a neat stone house, the abode of the custodian. The grounds are well kept. The site is beautiful. Only the condition of the tomb prompts the feeling of regret. Lincoln belOnged to the nation. His resting place shOuld have been the nation's care, if his State can be so forgetful. - Five Arab» Maxims. .
