The reporter having remarked that he had

Colbert's Crime.
Colbert was convicted Of the murder of Philip
Wentzell, October 8 last The victim of the
tragedy was q respected citizen of Northeast
Washington, who was over seventy years of
age. For a number of years he had been
superintendent of the Columbia street car
stables, near the old toll-gate, and was famili-
arly known to the drivers as pap" He was

and do general work about the stable. On the
evening of the murder he appeared at the
stable under the influence Of LIQUOR and
could not properly attend to his duties.
The superintendents attention was
called to Colbert's condition and he

Reading the Death Warrant.
A number of the Jail officers then assembled
in the cage at the end of the corridor. standing
just inside the door. Presently Gen. Croker,
the warden, arrived with an oficial-looking
paper in his hand. One of the officers went
down the long corridor to Colbert's cell, and
immediately Colbert, attended by the three
clergymen-Rev. Messrs. Wells, Roberts, and
Fitzhugh-cams walking along the corridor
and met the warden in the cage. Colbert was
attired ready for the scaffold. His black alpaca
sack coat was buttoned almost up to his chin
He wore a wide turn-down collar and a dark
blue cravat with white figure in it.
Colbert carried in his right hand little
pocket hymn book, having his thumb placed in
the book at the page where he wanted to read
when the time came. Colbert was halted in
front of the warden and in full view of the
crowd outside. Gen. Croker, who wore a silk
hat, approached the solemn business of the
moment without any preliminaries.
LISTENING TO THE PAPERS,
In a voice too low for the crowd to hear dis
tinctly, but which the prisoner, who stood in
front of him, could hear, he read the
death warrant of the court, ordering the exc
cution. Then in turn he read the two proc
lamations of the President postponing
the execution of the sentence from
April to May and from May 8 till to-day.
During the reading Colbert seemed unmoyed.
His eyes dropped at times to the paper which
Gen. Croker held in hand and then were raised
calmly to Gen. Crockers face. Once he moist
ened his lips III a nervous manner.
BINDING HIS ARMS.
When the reading was nearly through a
guard began pinioning his arms at the elbows
with rope. Colbert looked about as il sur
prised, but said nothing He dropped his arms
loosely at his side 30 that the guard
could work without trouble, and Rev.
Mr.. Roberts, seeing what was going
on, came to C0lbert's left side and took from
his hand the hymn-book which he held, but
could no longer raise in his hand. The minis
ter opened it to the page at which Colbert had
all the time kept his thumb and held 1t up
where Colbert could see it
Meanwhile outside the jury that had been
selected to witness the hanging had been
benches at the foot Of the gallows steps.
The March to the Sca1iold.
An officer turned the key in the door Of the
cage and this was the signal for the march to
the scaffold. Colbert Strengthened his body,
and throwing back his head, began singing the
hymn
''My heavenly home is bright and fair,
Nor pain, nor death can enter there"
The three ministers Joined with him in the
song. As they began the hymn the procession
moved.
Warden Croker and some of his assistants
went first. Then came Colbert and with him
the three ministers and following

bert continued singing as he walked
across the rotunds floor in face Of the crowd.
When he reached the steps descending into
the court he had reached the refrain of the
song:
I'm going home, am going home
I'm going home TO die no more
And this he sang as he crossed the court and
walked up the steps to the scahold- His tread
was firm and neither his voice nor his move
ments betrayed fear or nervousness.
When the procession had passed out Of the
rotunda and down into the court the crowd Of
spectators made rush for the door and down
the steps. They were held back at a distance
of twenty yards or more from the scaffold by
line of police.

earnestly for time Colbert offered q fervant
prayer for him, and sang Take the name of
Jesus with YOU"
About 7:So O'Clock the prisoner ate his break
fast-a boiled mackerel. with bacon. fried pota-
toes, fried onions, bread. and coffee-but ate
sparingly. The officials think that this apparent
failure OF appetite was due to a late lunch last
night.

THE CREEK INDIAN LANDS.
A Provisional Agreement Sent to Congress
for Their Cession to the Government.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The president to-
day transmitted to congress for its ap-
prevail and ratification a provisional
agreement lately entered into between the
United States and the Creek Indians by
which the title and interest in and to all
lands in the Indian territory or elsewhere
except such as are held and occupied as
homes are coded to the United States. By
the terms of the agreement the Greek
nation coded to the United States the
title to the entire western half of the do
main of the nation lying west of the
division line and established by
the treaty of 1866. The United
States agrees to pay to the Indians
$3.50, S57-S2o0, S57 to be paid to the
national treasury of the nation and ST.
100000 to remain in the United States
treasury to the credit of the nation and
bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent.
The nation agrees to devote not less than
$4,000 annually for educational purposes.
The president says that the ratification
of the agreement will be of benefit to the
government. The agreement, he says, is
entirely free from any suspicion of unfair
ness or injustice towards the Indians. He
calls special attention to the fact that in
order to become effective the agreement
must be ratified by congress prior to the

MIllERS ORGANIZING.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 5.-A large number
of merchant millers from Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois, Tennessee, Kansas, Michigan,
Iowa, Nebraska and other winter wheat
states are in the city to perfect an organi-
zation of millers of the country. The pur-
pose of this organization is to bring about
friendly action among millers toward
each other ito protect them against fraud
ulent brokers, cut-throat competition and
other damaging Influences" as one of
them said.
The delegates assembled in the hall of
the board of trade building. L. T. Noel,
of Nashville, Tenn, presided, and ID. H.
Ranck acted as secretary. Mr.. Noel read
a paper on the purpose and benefits of the
organization. The purpose of the organiZa-
ton was not to maintain high but a uni
form price. 1t was not to keep prices
a. a point which would induce millers to
leave the organization to sell at a lower
figure. 1t was to blacklist fraudulent
brokers, but was to be. no enemy of the
merchant, All grievances of millers were
proper attention. 1t was agreed that the
state organizations be merged in a general
organization and preliminary steps to ac-
complish this result were taken.
A resolution demanding a fair adjust
ment of tariffs between the United States
and countries from which Americans pur-
chase commodities, in other words ''rea-
sonable reciprocity" was adopted and the
convention adjourned till tomorrow. The
delegates were banQueted tonight.

SEVERE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

Boston, Feb. 5.-A terrible accident oc-
CURED shortly after midnight on the Low
ell railroad near Prospect station in SOM
erville whereby an engineer lost his life
and fireman, brakeman and conductor
were severely, if not fatally, injured. An
eye witness says: About 1890 a locomotive
and tender passed up the track towards
the Arlington branch, which it appears
was on the way to Somerville. The engine
as it passed the bridge and neared the
Winter Hill station swayed back and forth
and then after it had gone a short distance
left the track and toppled over ON its side
1t was found that the engineer had fallen
across the inward track and a man was
pinioued beneath the cab. One of the in
iured men had taken the precaution to
light lantern and set it on the track, but
a train before it could slow up collided
with the locomotive and drove it ahead
toward the Cross street bridge, CARRYING
the injured man beneath it. When he was
taken out he was dead and horribly man
gled. He proved to be the engineer. w.
/. AnkelI, IS years of age. He was a ma
tive of Montpelier. VT. On the locomotive
was the fireman, I. Realiam, brakeman
named Seers and Gushing, freight con-
ductor. The fireman and brakeman were
both seriously injured. The conductor
was Daddy sealded.
