He thinks that he should return the #640, and would do so, he says, but for the fact that he bas not gotit, Mr. Cuddy resides at Phenix, Arizona, International Y. M. C. A. Convention.

The District Supreme Court Affirms the Judgment of the Court Below. The District Court in General Term, Chief Justice Bingham and Justices Hagner, James and Bradley, this morning decided the case of Nelson Colbert, convicted of the murder of Philip Wentzel, adversely to the prisoner. Chief Justice Bingham delivered the opinion of the court, stating that they had listened to the arguments and examined the pleadings and were unable to find an error for which there should be a reversal. The judgment was there- fore affirmed, THE CRIME FOR WHICH HE WAS SENTENCED. The crime for which Colbert was convicted was the murder of Philip Wentzel, the stable boss, at the Columbia street-car stables, on 15th, near H street _northeest, on the eve ning of October 3 last. Mr, Wentzel was a Ger over seventy years old familiarly called ‘Par and generally liked on account of his good nature, Colbert was one of the colored hands employed by the company. On the evening in question Colbert had been drinking and Ventzel told him that he had better go home and come back in the morning. Colbert then demanded pay for the day and Wentzel pues that” he had done no ork be id tor. Upon — that Colbert finsctenn with oaths, pte if Wen se wo pay him he would kill him. Wentzel ert that he ought to be ashamed of eae and pointed a small stick at him or | eee laid it on his shoulder, Colbert then ‘awing the pistol shot the old man, the ball entering the left breast and_ killing him instantly. ©. West, one of the drivers, grabbed Colbert, telling him that he had killed eee and Colbert replied that “he didn't vead——n.” When West attempted to stop fica Colbert pointed the pistol at him and threatened to shoot him too. Colbert then made his way to his home near Montello, aud subsequently gave himself up to the police. HIS TRIAL AND CONVICTION He was indicted October 8, and pleaded not guilty the same day. Judge W. B. Snell and Capt. Howard L. Prince were assigned to his defense, and on January 14 the @rial_ was com- menced and it was concluded the following di with a verdict of guilty. The defendant test! fied that he had been drinking the day of the tragedy, and he lay down and went to sleep; that “Pap” kicked him, telling hi told him that he could not wer! he was too drunk, end hammered him over the head with a stick, upon which Colbert said he backed up against a post; that a crowd came up to him and he took out the pistol to keep them off, and it went off accidentally A series of fifteen } vers were offered on the part of the defendant, but four of which were allowed, and exceptions were taken, and a motion for a new trial was denied. | February 9he was sentenced to be hanged April 5, but President Harrison reprieved him till May 3. COLBERT’S LIFE. Colbert was raised at Montello, on the Wash- ington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio rai! road, where his father and grandfather reside, and is of more than average intelligence for one of his station in life. He attended school in Montello until about Serie Poe of age and then went out to work. He had worked for the railroad in 1884 and again last year. He bore a good reputation in the neighborhood. and it is probable that his present situation is due to the use of liquor. Since his imprisonment he has occupied a cell about the middle of the west corridor in the south wing, and has been a model in his behavior, When a few months ago Nelson Green and others professed religion he did not, like them, at once show emotion, but scemed to think much on the subject and to make the welfare of bis soul an object of sober deliberate consideration, He has spent much time in reading the bible and other re- ligious books, takes part in the services in an earnest manner. In prayer he is earnest, often his well-chosen words form pathetic s tences that visibly affect those listening, Under the ministrations of Rev. Mr. Roberts he professed religion, and since his conversion he expressed his willingness either to live or to die as the Lord will oe AWARDED A NEW TRIAL, Decision of the District Supreme Court in the Case of Wm. Briggs. In the Court in General Term, Chief Justice Bingham and Justices Hagner, James, and Bradley, this morning, in the case of Wm. Briggs, convicted of the murder of Wm. Jones, Justice Hagner delivered the opinion of the court, revising the judgment below and award- ing a new trial. The court said that the claim was that if the case was not one of excusable homicide it was not beyond the grade of manslaughter. The court referred to some of the evidence having been ruled out in the trial below, noting that | a witness had testified that Briggs fired the first shot over Jones’ shoulder to intimida > | him, and put the pistol back in his pocket, from which he did not take it until the others advanced upon him and then he fired the fatal shots. The court said on the ground of newly dis- covered evidence that the utmost diligence had been used, but they would not split hairs when the matter of a man’s life was involved. Al- though the land is deluged with the blood shed by murderers, and there should be some sym- pathy with the victim, they should not. in so serious a case, affirm a jadzment when it was shown that the cause had not been thoroughl: tried. Upon the whole they were not sutistied that the judgment should be aftirmed, and it was therefore set aside and the case remanded. THE STORY OF BRIGGS’ LIF Wm. Briggs is now about twenty-four or twenty-five years of age, a native of Spotsyl- vania county, Va., where he attended school and worked on a farm for atime. He was then regarded as avery bright boy for one born of slave parentage. His mother was a slave of Mr. Garnett, of that county. Briggs can read and write well. He came here about eight Years ago with his mother and sister, who now ive on 19th street, and he was advised to take a course in Wayland seminary. He was one of the first to profess religion ‘after he was sen- teuced in January last. THE MURDER FOR WHICH HE WAS SENTENCED. Briggs was engaged with the deceased, Wm. Jones and others at laboring work on the Col- umbia road, near the head of 18th street on May 30 last, It was claimed that Jones had a hat belonging to Briggs and the latter asked for it when a quarrel arose. Briggs smacked Jones in the face and Jones and his brothers followed him as he started away with stones; Briggs went away and came back and the par- ties again engaged in an altercation upon which Briggs tired two shots—the second one being the fatal one, He then grabbed the hat that led to the dispute and went toa police station and gave eS Briggs claimed that he was set upon by both the Jones’ boys and driven away; that he got his pistol be- cause they had threatened to kill him and when he returned both the Jones came at him with stones; that he fired one shot over Jones’ shoulder, but Jones kept coming after him, when he fired the second time. He was in- dicted May 23 last, arraigned May 26, and the court assigned Messrs. J. McDowell Carrington and John Cruikshank to the defense. The trial did not, however, take place till October 25 and the following day Briggs was convicted, A few days afterward a notice for a new trial was filed and on November 24 was denied. De- cember 1a motion for a rehearing was made | and subsequently overruled. and from the rul- ings his case went up to the General Term, —>—__— 63” A recently published work on “The Art of Advertising” says: “A point which will afford reliable information as to the value of a publi- cation as an advertising medium is the close- ness with which the publisher adheres to his advertising rates.” Tue Svar invariably holds to its rates; and, what is of greater importance to the advertiser, it charges everybody the same price for the same service, This few papers do!

GEBMAN-AMERICANS SING THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER AND LISTEN TO AN ELOQUENT AD- DRESS—THE CELEBRATION LAST NIGHT UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE SAENGEREUND. About two hundred German-Americans ate tended the Washington centennial celebration, under the auspices of the Saengerbund of this city, at Edel’s hall last night. In front of the stage a large portrait of the Father of His Country rested on an easel, draped with a handsome silk American flag. The exercises were opened by a chorus by the Saengerbund, “The Lord's Own Day,” by Kreutzer, Mr. Wm. Waldecker being the director. Then Mr. Paul Schulze, the president of the Bund, made a few introductory remarks in German. He was followed by a musical selection, Mr. F. Knoop rendering ‘‘The Red, White and Blue.” with a chorus, Hisclear, strong tenor voice filled the hall perfectly, and caused loud applause. An original poem in German by Mr. Frank Clandy was recited, and received with rap- turous applaus:. THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER, The next partof the program was so thor- oughly American as to be unmistakable, Mr. E. Holer singing “The Star Spazgled Banner” with fine effect, accompanied by the Bund in chorus, and Mr, Waldecker at the piano, Mr. voice is arich, flexible baritone, capa of great expansion, and possessing a wide range, The patriotic ring he gave to the nm: tional song had a stirring effect with his audi ence. MR. WOLF'S ORATION. Mr. Simon Wolf, president of the Washington Schuetzen Verein, delivered the oration in English. He was greeted with app) he appeared, and was forced to wait most every sent clear of the D the people in th ip not assembled ther: ing to one or another or faiths, butas Ameri: patriotic desire to celeb memorate the occasion would not, he sai¢ a ping and the “bravos” of He said that they » the cree as it deserved. it their intell ing the of the life, | jevemet nts of Washington, the man of men whom all adore revere.

There have been opinions ex- pressed. both in other countries and in th to th has lived and survived all shocks, and critic all doubts ms, the scorn of European despots, the strife of civil war, and is to-day in the front rank of nations, This has been due, to alarge extent, to an undercurrent of goo sense inthe American character that alwa goes right at the right time, aided by the moral poise of the nation. Mr. Wolf spoke eloquently a the progress of the nation in science, religion, morality, comforts, wealth and intelli o, to which the efforts of our inventors and designers have con- tributed ina vast degree. Had they lived a century ago, said, they would have been hanged in old Connecticut for witches, but ees has stamped the century just ‘clos ing with an undying fame. The foundation, he said, has only been laid, The first pillar of that glorious temple that is to rise has hardly become visible, and the nation, notwithstand- ing its progress, is still only in embryo. FOREIGN-BORN CITIZENS. He spoke with great warmth of the position af the foreign-born population of the country, who, he said, guard the American institutions and liberties to-day with greater zeal and energy than “the dudes who go to Europe to pend their money and to air their ignorance. This statement was received with great ap- plause. He then went on to say that he was regretful and indignant that any “doubt should have been raised by “some scurrilous serib- blers” as to which side the German-Americans would stand on in case of war. At this the hall re-echoed with cries of “good,” and loud applause, while from some portions of the room came faint hisses, almost drowned by the marks of approbation, to indi- cate that there were a few present who did not share the speakers’ sentiments. He con- cluded with the’ ‘hope that the progress would goon, and that in another hundred grand-children may form a part of at 300.00,000 people, thoroughiy free.
