New Yonk, Feb, 17.—In the trial of Cantain Edward Unger to-day for the murder of Lounis Bohle, whose body the defendant - eonfessed to Inspector Byrnes he had cut up and shipped to Baltimore in a trunk, Unger related in an Intensely realistic manner the circumstances of the murder, closing with a repetition of his confession. His manner impressed the spectators to some degree with the justness of the theory of self defense, the violence of Bohle being dramatically illustrated. Unger related the story of the night of horror which passed while the body of Bohle was behind the cot, e had a fitful sleep, broken by horrible dreams, and in each of them Bohle appeared standing at his bed. Unger would start up and spring out of ped, Again and ngain this was repeated. Unger said in closing: *'1 don’t know, but it don’t seem that [ did it. T don’t seem to be awake, T am amiserable man, I seem to be dreaming aver sines. I certainly did it in self-defons I can’t blame myself. Iama mi:erable man,” After a recess Unger was cross-examined, ana he again described the fracas minutely and without the slightest variation from his former relation, and as he described and en- acted his part in the fight Unger’s face was a study. At the moment when he was relatin with uplifted hand how he held the arm of Bohle, who bad a butcher-knife in his hand, theto was an expression of hard e tion and trial of strength in Unger's face, and when he, in his memory, ran from the furious Bohle, ~who was after him with a knife, and told how he stooped and with one hand on the bed room door reached half behind him with the other hand for the hamwmer in the tool chest to ) his eyes on his assaillant mean- while, there was that frightened, rible look which one might expect to the face of one in that scene. e didn't know I would grab the hammer. There were irous there and T might throw a fece of iron at him.” As he struggled to hold Bohle’s right arm aloft and to strike with the hammer he said: I knew S gono if he got his arm loose with that knife, and I struck him on the forchead; ' and then, as he pulled me across the room, trying to get his hand Yoose, L hit him on top of the head. He stag- gered and fell back on the sofa. There were a few twitckes or jerks of hls arms and legs, and that was all.”” “Terrible! Terrible!” It was Juror Ryan in the box who broke the deathly stillness by this exclamation, uttered ina hoarse whisper, unconsciously and involuntarily, He ex" pressed the thought of every hearer of Un- ;é;r‘- tale. At the request of his lawyer nger lovked the jury squarely and unflincn- lm(l{ in the face and said: *I have told you all [know about it. The defense rested. il el A National Lahor Party. CINCINNATI, Feb. 17.—The labor conven tion which is to assemble next Tuesday is now the absorbing topie in all political eir- cles. It s called to organize or at bect to dis- cuss, the propriety of organizing a new national political party in the interest of the workingmen. The great strides made in many parts of the country during the past year by the labor candidates, and the un- ‘usual agitation of questions of laboringmen, nhave combined to encourage the originators of this convention to think that it is time to form a national party, It is now expected that 1,500 delegates will be h though there 48 not yet positive assurance of so many, It 1s not expected that it shall do more "than adopt a pintforiy leaving the nomination: of candlidates for the future. e Cleveland and 1888, New York, Feb. 17.—| Special Telegram to the BEE.]—The Tribunelquotesa democrat of national prominence, who has had a con- figential talk with the president, as saying that Cleveland is firm in his determination notto bea candidate for renomination and re-election.

KILLED BY LESSNESS, Louis Reinhart Meets Death By Vio- lence While at Work, Lonis Reinhart, an employe in Ben- son's ice house atthe foot of Jones street, met with a violent death at 5 o’clock ye terdy afternoon. In the work of hoist- ing ice from the river to the warchouses an endless chain is used to which are fastened at regular intervals blocks of timber upon which the cakes of ice rest while being hoisted to the ice house. Workmen are stationed at intervals along the distance to steer the cakes of ice through the various chutes into the dif- ferent ice houses. Any one of these men has the means of stopping this endless chain, and a rule is observed that the man who stops the elevator must start it, the otl keeping clear of it in_the meantime, Reinhart was emyloyml on one of Benson’s gangs, At b o'clock yes- terday afternoon someone stopped “the elovator. Immediately Reinhart steppe inside the chute, when the ele- vator was started again, and before the unfortunate man could save himself he w cnuzhlh?" one of the huge tim- bers and erushed in a horrible manner. achine was stopped as quickly as ble and the injured man removed. Carter was summoned,but announced as soon a8 ho saw the injured man that he could live buta very short time. In the crush some of the man’s ribs had been broken and foreed into and through hus langs and liver. Reinhart lived about an_hour, and died without having re- gained consciousness.

The remains are now at Drexel & Maul’s undertaking establishment, from which place the fune will be held probubly to-morrow. FIRST M, IRTAINMENT.
