MR.. BYNUM, who is still in the SER
vice of the boilers, for q consideration,
says they are fighting the democrats in

Certainly they would, but, fortunately
for Virginia, what ne says is true; it
would be of no use. The people of
this State are naturally set against re.
publicans; as much so now as ever,
since the latter have begun to appoint
negroes as deputy collectors and post
masters, and they have no use for bolt
ers, who helped to put them in power.

THE SENTENCE W4S EXCESSIVE.
On This Ground ex-Broker Hathaway, q Forger, is Pardoned.

Boston, Dec. 16.-The executive coun- cil at it's session to-day recommended the pardon and release from the state prison of Welcome H. Hathaway of Fall River, who was sentenced Novem- Der 23 1S93 to seven years imprison- ment on the charge of forging bills of lading. MT. Hathaway was promi- nent cotton broker. The council ap- proves the pardon on the ground that the sentence when imposed was an ex- cessive one, and that justice had been meted out to the prisoner. The appli- cation for pardon and release was first heard on May 6, 1896, and it was signed by some of the most prominent citizens of Fall River. No remonstrance was offered, but the pardon was not then granted. At the time of his arrest Mr. Hathaway was one of the most re- spected citizens of the Spindle City and sensation was caused by the exposal of his methods.

 Made Tn-day

Bridgeport, Dec. 16-The curtain in the drama of life or death in which Charles A. Boinay, the alleged murder CT of George Marcus Nichols, has been the leading figure in his battle for life during the past ten days, will be rung up for the closing act when the court reassembles tomorrow morning. The climax in what has proven to be one of the most notable trials ever held in the criminal courts of Fairfield county was reached shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon, when State Attorney Fes- senden, who has conducted the prose- cution in an unparalleled manner, an- nounced, "The state rests,' and then after Boinay had been called to the stand to answer q brief question from Attorney Lynch the case was closed. The arguments both for the state and the accused will be presented tO-mor- row and the court has allowed five hours for their presentation, the time to be divided as the opposing counsel may agree upon. The judge will then make his charge, and the case will probably go to the jury late in the af- ternoOn.

WILL ASK FOR 4 CONFERENCE.
Action of Fall River Textile Workers
 Sentiment Favors n Strike.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 16.-The con- ference committee of the textile work CTS of this city consisting of three del- egates each from every union this after noon discussed the proposed reduction in wages in the local cotton mills. The meeting was behind closed doors and the only announcement made was that the committee had voted to ask the manufacturers for a conference next Monday. The textile workers will be represented at the conference by four teen delegates. The sentimnt of the committee is in favor of a strike. A shut down rather than reduction will first, be asked for. As there is little likelihood that the manufacturers will change their plans the outcome of the conference will in all probability be to strike unless the manufacturers succeed in showing the operatives that the shut down is not the proper method to re- lieve the situation. Secretary O'Donnell of the Spinners' union received a mes sage tonight as follows: Convention pledges it's support in case of trouble. Samuel Ross.' It comes from the American Federation of Labor conven- ton now sitting at Nashville.

TRIAL OF HERMAN SACHS.
Mrs. Hotchkiss, Widow of the Murdered
 Man, on the Stand.


 Man, on the Stand.
 Middletown, Dec. 16.--A jury for the trial of Herman Sachs, the young Ger man farm hand who is charged with murder in the first degree, in causing the death by shooting of Bertrand L.. Hotchkiss, a game warden of Killing worth, was completed this morning and the trial commenced immediately. The chief witness was Mrs. Hotchkiss, the widow of the murdered man. who plac- ed the crime upon Sachs, the prisoner. She admitted her continued intimacy with Sachs, but maintained it always to be against her will though in the cross-examination it was brought out that she had on different occasions ac- companied Sachs away from home both in a carriage and afoot, without show ing any apparent dread. Mrs. Hotch- kiss is a woman about twenty-three years of age, not altogether comedy, but her general appearance was good. She was on the witness stand until five o'clock and during the strict cross-ex- animation she was subjected to late in the afternoon she showed signs of weakness and the court took brief re- cess, as it was thought she would faint. It was said, however, that her apparent collapse was more attributable to her physical condition than to the mental ordeal But one other witness followed her, and at 5:2O court adjourned until tomorrow at 9:45 a. m.

CLIPPERTON ISLAND.
Mexicans Fear That 1t Has Been Seized by
 the British,


 City of Mexico, Dec. 16.-Some time ago when it was rumored that 8 British warship had seized Clipperton island, the local papers took the matter up and there was some agitation over the re- ported forcible occupation of Mexican soil. The foreign relations department asked the war department to send an expedition to the island to find out whether the British really had taken possession. Four days ago the corvette Fl Democratic, Captain Genesta, left Mazatland for the island.
 Should 1t prove true that the island which Mexico claims as belonging to her. has been seized by the British, the matter will be taken up automatically for the purpose of recovering the terri tory At the foreign relations depart meut to-day it was said that the ob- ject of the expedition was not warlike, but merely to ascertain the true condl- ton of affairs. There is no disquietude over the matter here Tine newspapers, however, are likely to make much of the seizure if it turns out to be fact, for there is a sentiment among the Mexican people that England unjustly acquired Belize or British Honduras from this country.

Veterans Take Offense at Utterances of

Boston, Dec. 16.-The annual reunion of the Twenty second Massachusetts infantry, Second company of Sharp shooters and the Third battery here to-day was made noteworthy by the adoption of lengthy preamble con- demning the utterances of President Andrews of Brown university laudato- ry of the military genius of certain Confederate generals, and of President Eliot of Harvard college to the effect that "it would be better to pitch $780, 900, 900 into the sea than to pay it to Union veterans" The resolutions also adopted set forth the transcendent abil- ity of the Union leaders and that ''it is the duty of all friends of the Union sol- diers to set the seal of condemnation against such utterances as those ema- hating from alleged public teachers; and we, as soldiers of the Union army, ask the loyal public of the country to frown upon all disloyal bombast and repudiate both the speeches and the speakers"

IMPOSING HANGED,
The AccomplIce of Fuda Meets His Doom
 With Courage.

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 17.--For the second time within fortnight the state prison at Wethersfeld has been the scene of an execution. Necademo years, was the latest victim, and soon after midnight, at 1928, this morning, he paid the penalty of his crime. Impo- sino was hanged for the part he took in the murder of Guiseppi Fuda's wife at East NorWalk last February. Fuda, the principal in the crime, was execut- ed two weeks ago, and the same rope was used this morning. The first party passed into the cage room where the priests were praying for Imposino and here Warden Woodbridge and Sheriff Hadley pressed the hand of the prison CT bidding him good bye.
 It was with pleasant surprise that the warden heard the "good-bye" re- sponse spoken in firm voice, without single quiver, for the condemned man had almost collapsed as the death warrant was being read, but during the few moments that elapsed while the second procession was marching to the execution room he seemed to have been completely revivified and approached his doom without fear or trembling. No emotion was visible as he had for the first time an opportunity to gaze upon the rope and moose, but so close- ly did the priests hold his attention that he was apparently unconscious of his surroundings, as the officers pin toned the straps about his ankles and Deputy Baisden drew the black cap over his face. Even then he continued his prayers, which were faintly heard through the cap.
 The deputy adjusted the moose, with the knot under the left ear, and after Dr. Fox had seen that it was adjusted properly the signal was given and the condemned man was only twenty-three seconds standing on the plate when the signal was given, the warden pressed the lever and Imposinos body shot into the air The body dropped to within a few feet of the floor and the neck was broken The force of the blow was equal to 1,290 pounds. As the body was hanging there were several spasmodic struggles, but they were brief and the body soon assumed the rigidity of death At the end of twelve minutes the murderer was pronounced dead and the body was lowered and placed in the casket in readiness to receive it.

ALPHONSE DAUDET IS DEAD
FEENCH AUTHOR EXPyRES WHILE
 DINING WITH HIS TAArILT.

In Excellent Spirits Whom Seized With
 Syncope-Physicians Summoned But
 Could Give No Permanent ltelief-Death
 Thoroughly Unexpectei-Great and Sim
 core Expressions of Sorrow.
 Paris, Dec 16.-Alphonse Daudet ex- pired at 8 o'clock this evening. He was dining with his family and was in ex- cellent spirits, when he was seized with a sudden syrcope. Physicians were summoned, but he died almost imne- diately. The death was thoroughly un- expected and the family and relatives of the author are prostrated. The news was received throughout France with great and sincere expressions of sorrow.
 The late M. Alphonse Daudet was born at Mines, May 1S, 1S40. in 1857 he went to Paris to try to gain nveli- hood in literary pursuits. His first publication was a volume of poems which appeared in 1858 and won for him reputation that led to his em- piOy I1lGIL UII 6CHClcI llO" SpdpSAS. lAC next published a poem, which was fol- lowed in 1863 by collection of articles that had appeared originally in the Fig arc. He wrote also for the stage with success, composing in conjunction with M. Ernest Lepine two little pieces, one of which was presented in 1862 and the other in 1865.
 He was private secretary of the Due de Morny, president of the Corps Legis- 1atif from 1861 to 1865. It was while writing under the pseudonym of "Bap- tistet'' or under his real name, novels, tales and newspaper articles that he achieved his real popularity. His best work was "Sappho." Among the other publications were "Tartarin de Taras- con-" Les Rois in Exil," "Le Nabad Moreuss Parisiennes," "Numa Roumes- tan" and a lively satire directed against the French academy.
 In 1875 the French academy awarded him the Jouy prize for Fremont Joune ct Risler Aine," which was successfully dramatized in the following year. M. Daudet was long connected with this Journal Official, whose theatrical de- partment was under his charge.
 The International Cyclopedia, pub- 1ished some time ago, says of Alphone Daudet: He is one of the most pop ular French novelists. His earlier works were Lettres de mon Moulin, Coates du Lundi, Tartarin de Tarascon, and Robert Helmont. These works re- vealed genius of rare quality, full of brightness and warmth, with all the spontaneity and loquacity of the pro- vincia1, and wonderful observation of the external things, frightened by the ray of fancy and the tremor of feeling. Some of his later works, especially Jack and Le Nabob, show distinct traces of the influence of Dickins. Fremont Jeune ct Risler Aine, Le Nabob, Les Rois en Exile and Numa Roumestan are gal leries of contemporary Parisian figures. Among other works are L'Evangeliste, Sapho, Tartarin sur les Apes.

PULLED FROM HIS HIDING PLACE.
Harry P. Hayes, Il Fugitive from Justice,
 Wanted for Burglary.

Harry P. Hayes, painter who un- til recently resided at 512 Columbus avenue, was arrested about o'clock yesterday afternoon in West Haven by Detective Sergeant Dennehy and De- tectives McGrath and Spang on the charge of being fugitive from justice. During the first part of October last Hayes broke into the tool house of Sol- omon Mead on Derby avenue. On Oc- tober 21 Hayes was arrested and taken before the West Haven borough court. Bonds in the sum of $500 was furnished for him by A. M. filling, who resides in West Haven. The trial was to come off a few days afterwards, but in the meantime Hayes skipped town and did not appear in court when the case was called. He was traced to Parkersburg, w. Va, and 0 local detective was about to go to that place after him when he again disappeared. Yesterday it was learned by Captain Cowles of the local detective bureau that he was in West Haven at the house of MT. Smith. A bail piece was secured and the detectives went to arrest him. Ar rived at Smiths house that gentleman met them at the door and at first told them to go ahead and search the place, that Hayes had gone. The officers en- tered the house and began their search The Smiths began to buster and pro- tested against the officers going through the house. They persevered, however and had about given up the search when one of the detectives looked through the attic. He had bunch of matches, and had just lighted the last one and was peeping around the dark attic when he spied something which looked like mans foot and leg at one side of the attic, and evidently protrud- ing from hole under the caves. The | owner 0 fthe foot was pulled out and proved to be Hayes. He was brought to the city and locked up.

MONEY FOR STREET HARDENING. Hearing Held Last Night by Special Com
 mittee on City Estimates.

A public hearing was held last night in rooms 10 and II city hall by the com- rnittee appointed to hear proposed changes in the estimates for the ensu- ing year as recommended by the board of finance. Only half dozen citizens appeared at the meeting and the public hearing lasted only a short time. Among those who appeared were Hen- ry T. Blake, John Kerley and Alderman Chilingworth thought that more mon- ey should be appropriated to the ac- counts of parks. MT KerIey's recom- mendations will be printed in full later After the citizens had finished their suggestions the committee went into executive session, which lasted until about 11:15.
 At the close of the session the mem- bers of the committee stated that the committee would meet again this even- ing before the meeting of the aldermen and finish it's business. It was said that a considerable portion of the time in executive session last night was spent in discussing the advisability of recommending to the court of common council that more money be appropri- ated for street hardening than was rec. commended by the board of finance Chairman Forsyth of the committee stated that in case it was decided tc recommend a greater appropriation for this purpose other estimates of the pub lie works department would be cut SC that the sum total of the estimates for that department recommended by the committee would be no greater than the amount recommended by the board of finance. MT. Forsyth also said that the amount recommended by the com. mittee to be appropriated for street hardening would probably be some. what less than the amount appropriat- ed for that purpose last year, but which was unexpended and reverted tc the city treasury.
