GUILTY OF MURDER.
The Jury Renders Verdict of
Murder in the First Degree
Against Mrs Robinson

Boston, Feb. 1.-THE jury in the
case of Mrs. Sarah j. Robinson, the
alleged wholesale pOisoner, this morn
ing rendered verdict of guilty of muir
der in the first degree. In this trial she
was charged with the murder of Prince
Arthur Freeman, her nephew. Mrs.
Robinson had previously been tried on
the charge Of killing her son and daugh-
ter, but the jury disagreed. The in
centive to all the crimes of which she is
charged was alleged to be the securing
of the life insurance of her victims.
Not a muscle of the prisoners face
moved as she heard the words uttered.
She stood staring vacantly at the court
for few moments and resumed her
seat. The foreman was visibly
affected as he announced the
verdict. Counsel Goodrich walked
over to the dock and whispered
to Mrs. Robinson. She seemed to be
unconscious that he was talking to her
and as though she were daZed. Then
followed a consultation between the
judges and the counsel and Goodrich
announced that he should take eXcep-
lions to the verdict on the ground that
the evidence relating to the cause of the
death Of Mrs. Freeman which had been
introduced had no bearing Oh the case.
Judge Field announced that counsel for
the defense could have until the 25th of
February to file their exceptions and the
case will probably be argued before the
full bench in Boston at the March term.
Meanwhile the prisoner seemed to be in
a state of utter collapse. The matron
of the jail tried to comfort her. 1t was
then that the prisoner broke down COM
pletely. She moaned i'll terrible man
ner and the three women who stood near
her were moved to tears. 1t is under
stood that the jurymen arrived at the
decision at 6:15 o'clock, fourteen hours
and twenty minutes after they retired.
The seven supposed victims of Mrs.
RobinsOn's poisoning were Moses. her
husband; Lizzie }. her daughter: Willie
j., her son: Prince Arthur Freeman, her
DrOther-in-law: Mrs. Z. A. Freeman, her
sister, and Oliver Sleeper, who boarded
in her house and is supposed to be dis
tant relative. Sleeper's death was the
first. Moses Robinson second, and Mrs.
Freeman, whose death occurred i'll Feb
ruary, 1855, the third. Previous to
Prince A. Freeman'S death, Mrs. Robin
sou had his life insurance made over to
her. In June, 1885, II. A. Freeman
died, his infant child having died in the
meantime. Thomas A. Freeman, a son
OF Prince A. Freeman, for whom there
was $1,000 in trust, died short time
afterwards; then came the death of
Lizzie j. Robinson, and then Willie J.
Robinson. Shortly before the latter's
death Mrs. Robinson was arrested on
suspicion of having poisoned her chill
dren. She got $1,000 on Sleeper's death:
$4,000 On Moses Robinson; $4,000 on p.
A. Freeman,and the insurance on Lizzie

LILY, KY, Feb. 11.-Levi Hodge, of
this place, killed his brother John last
evening by shooting him through the
heart. The brothers lived with their
aged mother and have been engaged in
frequent broils with each other. and
have on several occasions drawn weap-
Ons and attempted to take each others
life. Levi and another brother, j.
X. Hodge, returned from London the
county seat of Laurel county, on the
afternoon train, where they had pur-
chased two suits Of clothing, similar in
other for John. When they tried the
suits on at their mothers house, John
thought that Lewis pantalOons would
fit him better than the ones that
had been given him, and tried
to take them from Levi. During
the quarrel, the mother, it appears, in
terfered and tried to pacify them. John
cursed and abused her. Levi then
threatened to kill him and they got into
a Scutf1e, but were prevented from doing
each other any bodily harm by the IN
reference of the other brothers and the
mother. Levi was dIsarmed by his
brother Will. John, being drunk, Levi
diSarmed him of his pistol. and in spite
of the frantic efforts of the mother, he
fired the fatal shot. John fell and
never spoke, the bail from the 44-cali-
bre pistol having pierced his left breast
and passing directly through his heart,
came out on the right side. The suits
of clothing, which led to the murder,
were purchased to fit the brothers out
preparatory to starting them to Kenisee
to school, and they were to leave to-
gether to that place TODAY

A Faithful Sweetheart.

Haverhill Correspondence N. Y. World
The marriage of one of the wounded
victims of the disaster here Tuesday was
the principal event of the day. The
contracting parties were George Gardi-
ner, of NOrthbridge, and Miss Florence
Smith, of Adams, Mass. Gardiner was
on the car next the smoker, and seven
OF his fellow passengers were among the
killed, while many are wounded. His
own escape, with half-broken nose
and several painful bruises, was mir
acle. Immediately after he was brought
to the Eagle hotel he telegraphed Miss
Smith, who is teacher at Cumberland
Mills, Maine, of his safety.
The young lady arrived here yester-
day, and was married at the bedside of
the wounded bridegroom by Rev.
". W. Everts, Jun, of the First Baptist
church. The groom was unable to sit
up, and the fair bride received the we'd
ding-rillg- and stood during the cere-
mony by his bedside. Gardiner was on
his way to his home to be married there,
when his journey was interrupted by the
accident.

THE GROWN PRINCE.
Fears Expressed That 1t Is Can.
CerOuS Growth in His Throat

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE German doc
tors who attended the crown prince in
the first stages of his malady still insist
that he is afflicted with cancer, as we'll
as perichondritis, and the probabilities
are that they are right. 1t is said that
DR.. Bergman predicted some time ago
that the operation of traeheotOmy would
be inevitable during the first half of the
month of February. and the announce
ment that DR.. Schroeder has been sum-
mOned to San Reno to participate in
consultation reSpe citing the perform
ance of another operation, though of Il
different character, creates surprise and
alarm among those who have accepted
the roSeate reports received in Berlin
since the operation of Thursday. 1t is
understood that DIR. Bergman'S erraHd
to San Reno is to draw up an impartial
report of the condition and prospects of
the crown prince for presentation to the
emperor, but the summoning of DIR.
Schroeder during DR.. Bergman's pres
ence at the crown princes bedside is
regarded as evidence that the expert
does not regard the situation as favor
able to the patient, as the daily reports
indicate. The Prince of Wales will az
rive at San Reno Thursday next. The
bishop of EXiter has issued an appeal to
the congregations of his diocese for
special prayers for the recovery of the
crown prince, and it is likely that his
example will be followed by most of the
hierarchy of the established church of
England

A Human Curiosity.

German Gazette.
Not many miles from Berlin there
lives man who, if what report says of
him is true, is certainly one of the most
remarkable phenomena on record. The
papers state as positive fact that he
has no blood in his veins, and that a
committee of the leading physicians and
scientists have declared their inability
to account for this extraordinary cir
cumStance. The man is corporal of
the German army and goes by the name
of Otto Schneider. He himself was quite
unconscious of his bloodless condition
until two months ago, when he fought
duel with fellow soldier. His opponent
ran his sword through his body,
without, however, drawing any blood,
and the patient" seemed not little
bit the worse. The man was so taken
by surprise that Otto had no trouble in
killing him. Since that time the COM
radeS of the corporal have been careful
not to tread on his toes, and on no con-
slderation to accept a challenge from
him. He was submitted to severe
test at q medical institute at Berlin. A
knife was thrust into his mouth, the
point coming out at the back of the
cheek. Not drop of blood was spilled,
and Otto felt no pain during the opera
ton. The gentlemen who examined
him are now fully convinced that there
are mahy things in heaven and earth
that they never dreamed of. Otto
Schneider intends as soon as his time is
up (neXt Year, to show himself in the
principal cities of Europe.

n MEMORABLE WEEK,
Bismarck's Triumph on the Mill
tary Bill Weakens the Spirit of
the OpDOSitiOp

BERLIN, Feb. 11.-ThiS has been a
memorable week in the reichstag. Bis
marck's triumph on the military bill
had results beyond that measure in
weakening the spirit of the opposition
and in adding to the cohesion of the gov
eminent groups on other questions,
hence the passage of the quinquennial
bill by an unexpected majority of nearly
two-thirdS of the members. The pro-
gresSist deputies attempted to obtain an
amendment permitting the deputies to
accept indemnity from their constituents
for expenses incurred during the ses-
sion, but the proposal looking to this
end was rejected. When last discussed
it was again summarily refused. The
only check the government has SuS-
tanned has been on the anti-socialiSt
bill. The socialists at Berlin, Hamburg
and elsewhere have been allowed to
celebrate the event. At Leipsic the
socialists rendered a banquet to Herr
Bebel, but he prudently refrained in
Joining in the demonstration, though he
telegraphed his sentiments to the meet
ing. The police authorities forbade the
making of addresses, but allowed songs
to be sung. The most popular, "Die
Crosse Niederlage des Futrsten Bis
marck." has since been suppressed, but
is ehanted nightly in the haunts of the
socialists. The Leipsic socialists pro-
posed to send an address of thanks to
Chief of Police Fischer, of Zurich. Herr
Bebel received warning not to attend
the banquet, which was the cause Of his
absence.

What America Cost.

Edward Everett Hale has resurrected
for us capital bit of history in the
king of England's account book, in
which he puts down what he paid Jack
Cabot for finding America. 1t reads
after this manner:
To the damsel that danceth. -. ....eI2
To the man that found a new island . 10
To Jake Haute. for tennis play .... 8
To a woman with red nose - shillrngs
That was the first cost to England for
North America-less than was paid for
the girl that danced for the king. But
England paid good deal heavier bill
somewhat later-doing her own dancing
this time. 1t was on the credit of 91O
paid the old sailor that the king as
sumed the right to give away America,
and fought Spain and France to secure
her rights to the whole ssisland.n

An Opium Haul.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Feb. 11.-Near
Philadelphia, this county, yesterday
afternoon seyenty-eight packages, con-
tanning 7S0 pounds of prepared opium of
the highest quality, were found in the
barn of Ephraim Gardner, who was az
rested at Redwood Tuesday night, and
from whom about 1000 pounds of opium
were taken by custom officers at that
time. 1t is believed that Gardner was
one Of the chiefs in the ring of SNUG
glers engaged in the opium trade. The
goods were concealed in Gardeners barn
by the novel means of room built of
baled hay, the entrance being on the
top, i'll the center of which loose hay
was stuffed. Upon the removal of this
hay the room was discovered. The
opium seized was piled on the floor. 1t
is believed that the smuggling has been
carried on for some time. A number of
persons were connected around Phila-
delphia last summer who appeared to
have no business, and travelled in
wagons at night time. They all APP
peared acquainted with Gardner.

neither of them has at present cause to
begin. The Russian government admits
that troops are being moved to the west,
and that the movement, begun some
time ago, is not yet ended. A series of
important movements of Roumanian
troops have taken place as measures of
safety, consequent on the massing of
Russian troops on the ROumanian front
Ter. and the Turks are hurrying the
work of fortifying Adrianople. The
masSing of Russian troops in Bessarabia
can indicate nothing but the intention
to attack either Roumania or Bulgaria.
In we'll informed quarters the opinion
prevails that the opening of spring will
see either Russia ON the march to assert
her rights in Bulgaria or Prince Bis
marck hint to Prince Ferdinand that his
abdication of the Bulgarian throne is
necessary in the interests of peace.

SLAVERY IN BRAZIL.
How a Body of Masonic Slave
Owners Were Affected by Amer

now IL bOUy Oh NIdSOf1lC Sldtc
Owners Were Affected by Amer
lean Visitors.
Slavery still exists in Brazil. A curl
Gus event in this connection was brought
about by the recent visit Of two New
York FreemasOns to PernambucO,a mar
thine province of Brazil, containing
100000 inhabitants. The Masons in
question were officers of the United
States steamer Alliance, which vessel,
after an African cruise. put into Per
nambuc0. These officers were possessed
of the thirty-secOnd degree, and as such
Signified their intention of visiting
"CavalhierroS de Cruz" lodge and chap
ter of that place. After being duly eX-
amined as to their Masonic qualifica-
tons, the Freemasons of that place eX-
tended to them fraternal welcome.
The brethren of the different degrees
met in their large hall together, the bust
ness being transacted in the first or
lowest degree. But before admitting
discussed the Masonic teachings and
the practice of holding slaves or traf-
ticking in bonded humanity, showing
that they were inconsistent with each
other. 1t was argued that they could
hardly receive and entertain MaSOnS
who were absolutely free in thought
and possessions while they themselves
were holders of slaves and evidently
violating the law of universal human
freedom.
In honor of the Americans thirty-two
members at once signed an edict that
after Nov. Z, 1887, no brother of that Or
der should purchase any slaves, but
should liberate those he might possess
Oh that day; that before any new MEM
Der could be admitted he must Hberate
every slave he might possess; that no
member. under pain of expulsion, should
expose the place of refuge Of a slave, do
anything to punish a slave Or allow any
one under his orders to do so, and, lastly
he was forbidden to practice any act
which should give authority or right to
any man over the body of another. The
American brethren were then admitted
und told of the action of the assemblage.
