Wilson testified that he had served four terms of imprisonment. On the after noon of Saturday. April 6, !., he w as discharged from jail. On Sunday, April 7, the lifeless body ot Bonnecka was found lying on the floor of his own home, Wilson denied that be had entered into a nspiracy with other crooks to mur der Ilonneeka for bis money. In reply to the damaging evidence of theCoinmon weallh that a dcto-tive disguised as a city cracksman bad leen imprisoned in jail ami had obtained an admission of his guilt, he testilied that the identity oi the man was known to all the inmates, and the prisoners had made the officer a butt for their jokes. M'OYKI INTO THE STATE. Wilson admitted that in company w ith detectives who were impersonating crooks he had visited New York city and had stopped at the Tutnam House, Thoy saw all the sights of the city and Ietec tive Mcweeney paid all the bills. The defendant claimed that he knew the true character of his comrades and the pur pose of their hospitality. He told them several times that he had strangled Bon necka, so that they would continue de- raying the costs of hotel bills, theatre tickets, wine, cigars and other evidences of the high life he was enjoying. He admitted be! was taken by the .lom-t it-ps down into the Chamlier of Horrors in the Kden Musee and there shown a waxwork representation of burglar murdering a millionaire for his money, but denied that he then broke down and confessed the crime. The wit ness said be was a cigarette fiend ami his nerves were weak. The sight of the waxworks unnerved him, but he had said nothing. The detectives and Wilson made a plot in New York to rob a bank at Independ ence. Iowa, hut the witness, while trav eling West for this roM-ery, was deeoyed by the detectives Into Pennsylvania and arrested at Scrantoii. He was confined for three days in the oflice of Detectives arring and McSweeney, whilethe detec tives were on the trail of William Ihran and James Farrell, his two confederates. The defense is establishing a htrong alibi, The trial wiiltako up part of next week. Owing to the great public excitement Judge Bell ordered that the jury le kept seclusion on Sunday, away from churches and other outside influences. Tho Altoona Tragedy. Ai.toox., I'a., Jan. iV Blair county never had a murder case that excited more widespread interest than the poi soning of th M-;rcgor family last Tuesday, by which one man was killed and three other persons are still sufferitig from the effects of the deadly coffee, Minnie Sivar.ger, the bright-fa.-ed little girl who is in jail charged with the dark tragedy, was to day identified by a drug clerk as the purchaser of a lox of poison. The Coroner's jury which was empan eled to investigate the death of William McGregor, who died on Wednesday, met this evening. The jury examined W. A. Jreisen, the drug clerk, who sold the !ox of poison to Minnie. At the first meeting or the jury several days ago the clerk testified that he had registered the girl's name as Miss Swan ger, and that he would lie ab'e to identi fy her. To-day young (Jreisen was taken to the jail and Minnie was placed among the other female inmates of the prison. The clerk was then requested to identify her, which he did without any hesitation. At tiie meeting of the jury t.vnight he testified to the circumstances. Owing to the fact that Mrs. McGregor and Mrs. Johnson are still confined to their 1-eds from the effiH-ts of the poison and that the rejiort of the chemical anal ysis which is lieing made by an expert in Philadelphia of the contents of McGreg or's stomach is not ready, the Coroner was compelled to adjourn the inquest until some ti ne next week. rn-i:T- or the tkaokhv.

Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Mc Gregor, though greatly improved and be lieved to be out of danger, are still very weak and confined to their lieds. Tariff Act Seemi Safe. Wasii.vstox, Jan. 'Jii. That the tariff bill will lie rejKirted from the Finance committee to the Senate cither f-tvorably or unfavorably during the present week seems certain. The committee is to meet on Tuesday with all memliers present, and Senator Jones, of Nevada, has indi cated thai it is his purpose to agree to reporting tha bill, but whether favorably or unfavorably, U declines to state. The Republican tariff managers feel con-ident that they wii! ba able to secure stiilb'icii! votes to pas tho bil when it comes to a voU on the question. IJow soon this will be call not be determined niw, iiecause of the nunilier of Senator who are apt to diire to make speeches cither for or against it, and Ifcaiise many amendment will lie proposed w iijeh will have to lw voted down. If the bill is unfavorably reported, it j- m-s to the cakndar whence a majority vote will lie required to secure its imme diate consideration after the substitute for Ui? bond bill is o:it of the way. If the Itepnblieaiis are able to secure the immediate- consideration of the measure, it will indicate that its passage u assunsl. The iiidialio:is point to success in this diree t:o!i. Since tiie bill is practically certain to lie passed, there is divided interest mani fested in thi? attitude of the President in regard to it. Will he veto it or permit it to lieeome a law w iihout bis signature, for it is very unlikely that he will sigu it ? If the President were to cuKiilt his own wishes, ho would veto this measure lie cause he holds tUat no revenue is needed. While the Bepublieaus would, from a business standpoint, rertt to kew c veto, they can not but anticipate that auvb a veto would lie politically advantageous to them. On the other hand, if thcie is a;iy dangerof h.istilities withKngland through the Venezuelan boundary dispute, tha President would natuially be anxious to have the treasury strengthened as much as possible. He appreciates that increas ed duties would add to the revenues and make it easier to liear the enormous es ten.l:tures necessary in such an event. He might persuade himself also that it would be unw ise to oppose the tariff bill, just ns he was w hen the Wilson bill was lie fore him, and he permitted it to liecouie a law unstgnel, afur he had declared it to lie tinged with "party perfidy ami party dishonor."

The Judge told her that her testimony was of no avail, as her previous contra dictory statements disproved it.

An exchange says that thero is a grow ing feeling in favor of selling eggs by weight, and it is probably only a matter of time when that will bo tho pra-tiee. It is ulisurd to sell the eggs of the Brahma at the same price per dozen as those of the Leghorn. As well sell small peaches and oranges at tho same price as largo ones. The eggs of the pullet arc alw ays smaller than tiio.se of the mature hen, but thero is no difference in price. Thero is no inducement to breed for largo eggs, as size docs not count. Commenting on tho work of the candi date, an exchange says : "Kadi iran proniisetli to surely vote for tho one who asketh him, no matter if it lie ninety anil nine. Heshakuth the hand of everybody until his joints are sore. Then ho g'elli homo secure in tlio thought that he w ill surely 'get thjro.'

" Tiio House Committee on Post-tilliees and Post-roads has reported favorably a bill to extend the mail-carrier serv b-e in distrii-t.s w here free delivery is not au thorized.

If there is no agreement, then the carrier may receive 0:10 cent for each letter or pack age delivered. The carrier shall lie sub ject to tiio rules and regulations of the United States p-.st.il service. This deliv ery service is not to bo compulsory, us any 0110 of the petitioners, if ho lects to have his mail left in tho posioilieo, will not lie calle.I urxm to contribute to til's compensation of the carrier. "I am an old soldier of the Rolieliion. A year ago I was iu bed all w inter with chronic rheumatism. Three doctors fail ed to give me ri lief. Two hittles of Bur dock Blood Bitters put me on my feet. It is worth its weight i.i gold." W. B. Knapp, Litchfield, Hillsdale Co., M-li. The Iowa Legislature has j-ist honored Serator Allison with a re-cle1io!i to the Senate. It is an honor concede I to bo well deserved. Mr. Allison's p-isilion in the struggle for the Pre-iM-'iiiial nomina tion is pe. -ii 1 1 ir. He may b? describ-l as a man without antagonisms. This pe culiarity does ii.it i:i:-an that ?dr. Al!i.-.u is in any sense a weak man. n tl:2 con trary, h--is a strong man. That he has not made m .re enemies is fVit due to any la.-k of personal aggress: 1 er.css. lie is a force fdl not only iu every committee of the Senate of v, hieh he a member, but upon th'r ll.fi of the S; I, ate, w h-re be pirtieipales in liebite wilii fr?ed::n and vigor.

Of the 2u Deni'icratic nominees for the Presidency, from Jackson, in 1:!2, to Cleveland, nine were nominated at B.dti more, three at Cincinnati, uno at New York, two at St. Louis and two at Chi cago.
