Mr.. Colman Member Of the Cabinet-A.
z. Stevenson to Succeed Judge Merrick.
The President to-day sent the following
nominations to the Senate:
Norman J. Colman, of Missouri, to be Secre-
tary Of Agriculture.
Adlai E. Stevenson. of Illinois, to DO associate
justice Of the Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia, vice VIM. Merrick, deceased.
THE NEW JUSTICE.
Adlai E. Stevenson is q resident of Blooming
ton, H., and is now in his fifty-second year. He
began the practice of law in Woodford county
in the year 1859, and for four years
held the Office of master Of chancery
of that county, by appointment of the
apS held that ocs fer
years. and upon the expiration of that time he
removed to Bloomington where he resumed
the practice Of law with the firm
of Stevenson q Ewing. His practice
was large, but in 1874 an interruption
came in the form of an election to Congress
The district which he represented had previ-
ously republican majority of 5000. At the
next election he failed to be returned to his
seat in Congress by majority less than 200
He was, however, reelected in 1873 After
serving this term he resumed the practice of
law, which he continued until short time after
the election Of Mr.. Cleveland, when he
was called to the important position which he
now holds. The first assistant has charge of
all the fourth-cass post-offices. and in this con-
nection he is brought in contact with probably
a larger number of citizens of the country than
any other official of the government. During
his residence in this city he has been an at
tendant OF the New York-avenue Presbyterian
church.

THE GREAT AQUEDUCT FRAUD.
Startling Revelations Expected on the
Report of the Experts.

Startling revelations are made in the experts
reports upon the character of the work in the
aqueduct tunnel The committee will be ready
to report soon now and it is understood that
their report will be apt to make sensation
with the terrible amount Of fraud exposed.
The extent of the fraud is almost beyond con-
ception, and Major Lydecker will find it a very
difficult task to explain his ignorance Of the
state of affairs. Nothing but criminal neglect
of duty somewhere could have resulted in such
stupendous fraud. The committee in charge
Of the investigation was in session to-day read
ing the report of the experts. They dis
closed state of rottenness that the
committee had no idea Of notwithstand-
ing all the newspaper exposures and the
facts stated in previous testimony. Hundreds
and hundreds Of feet Of the masonry is with
out packing, and spaces were found in many
places where man, by leaning forward
a little, could walk for a hundred feet on top
of the brick arch. 1t is estimated that it will
cost not less than three-quarters of a million
dollars to make anything out of the tunnel
The whole work upon which SO much time and
money has been spent is practically worthless.
1t is understood that the committee in their
report will hole Major Lydecker responsible
for the work, and it is not considered likely
that he will be handled very gently.
The reading of the engineers report and the
questioning thereon ceased temporarily at rs,
when recess was taken for lunch.
Both Of the engineers were proof against the
wiles Of the reports. They were not uncom-
municative, but they were even gruff in their
refusals to say anything that would cast any
light upon their hitherto mysterious proceed
ings.
Senator Edmunds would say nothing more
than that the committee would have its report
ready by the end of this week, and there was
an inexplicable and apparently unnecessary
secrecy preserved as far as possible.

KILLED BY A MADMAN.
A Memphis Priest Stabbed to Death
by Young Man He Had Befriended.

A Memphis Priest Stabbed to Death
by a Young Man He Had Befriended.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. ia terrible tragedy
was enacted early this mornin which resulted
in the killing of Father Ashfield, Catholic
priest connected with St. Peters cathedral in
this city. 1t seems that several months ago A.
Reeves, a young man well known about town, was
confined in Jail on account of mental troubles.
Father Ashfield visited him in Jail and was IN
strumental in having him released after short
confinement. strong friendship grew up be-
tween them, and Reeves was a frequent caller
at the priests house, which adjoins the cathed-
raj on Adams street. This morning at 6
o'clock Reeves rang the bell Of the
house, and when the door was opened
he pushed past the porter inside and
went direct to Father Ashfeld's room.
The porter thought him drunk and ran to the
station-house, which is only square distant,
for a police officer. When tho two returned
they found Reeves sitting on the floor caressing
the head OF the priest, who was dead. 1t was
evident that Reeves had stabbed him while
asleep, as the bed was covered with blood.
Wounds, all just over the heart, we're found, any
one of which would have been fatal The
weapon used was an ordinary pocket knife.
When asked why he had committed the deed,
Reeves replied that God had told him to do it.
At the station-house he said: He was my
best friend, and as was going away wanted
him to join me-
The dead priest was about fifty years old and
came to Memphis two years ago.

Death of Thomas M. Michel.

Thomas NJ. Nichol died yesterday morning at
the Columbia institute for the cure of chronic
diseases, in New York. Mr.. Nichol was uncon-
scious for several days before his death. Mr..
Nichol was born about forty-four years ago in
Ohio. He entered the Union army while vet a
lad, and served until the close Of the war. He
was for time editor of a paper at Fort Scott,
Kan, and also took a turn at teaching school.
His most important public service was the
formation Of the Honest money league Of Chi
cago at time when the imitation theories of
the greenbackers were sweeping over the west
1t was at that time that he formed the acquaint-
ance Of Gen. Garfield, and q warm friendship
sprang up between them. During the cam
paign OF 1880 Nichol acted as Garfeld's private
secretary, and was rendered the same position
at the White House, but declined President
Garfield appointed him commissioner of In
dian affairs. but he withdrew from the Office
after two days service, as he found it unsuited
to him. Two years later he engaged in an ex-
tensive business enterprise in the west, which
proved too great q strain upon him. His
health gave way, and he spent year abroad in
the effort TO recover il. This he seemed 10 do
but three years later symptoms Of spinal dis
ease manifested Themselves and for more than
q year and half he was rarely able TO leave
his room. Mr. Nichol was an earnest believer
in Christianity, and Of deeply religious tenn

Promptly Found Guilty of Murder in
the First Degree.
WnKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE trial of
Michael Rizzello, alias ''Red Nosed" Mike,
the notorious murderer of Luzerne county,
was resumed here this morning, the
evidence being all in and arguments having
been made by one of the counsel for the de-
Tense and one of the prosecuting attorneys on
Saturday night. There were additional argu-
ments submitted on each side to-day. The
defendants attorney, John Gar Garman, made
a strong plea for his client, attempting to show
that his presence at the scene of the murder
was accidental, and that he not only refused
to take any part in the murder, but also
refused to share in the plumber. District-At-
torney Darte made the closing argument for
the prosecution, after which Judge Charles E.
Rice delivered fine, clear charge to the jury.
The judge read parts of of ''Red-Nosed" Mike 3
testimony ON the stand and parts of his con-
fession relating to the horrible killing. From
these the court instructed the jury that
THE KILLING OF BERNARD NC CLURE
was murder in the first degree. While Mike
does not admit that he fired any of the fatal
shots, he was by his own testimony one of the
principals. The jury retired at 12l5 p. IN.
At 1:15 o'clock this afternoon the jury re-
turned into the courtroom, having agreed
upon a verdict. The prisoner retained his seat
in the defendants corner his composure ap-
parently unmoved. brief interval elapsed
while counsel far the prisoner was being sum-
moned into court. Upon their arrival the
jury was polled. In the midst of a breathless
silence the verdict was handed up to the court
and was publicly announced by the clerk.
They found the prisoner. Michael Rizzello,
GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
After the public announcement the jurymen
were called one by one and each in his turn
arose in his seat and announced his verdict of
of guilty of murder in the irst degree. The
prisoner was then remanded and sentence was
deferred until next Saturday.
