Special to Tun UKK. ) Prado wns guillotined
nt 7 : < M this morning , amidst n crowd of cu
rious sight-seers. His prayer for a speedy
death Was promptly granted. This morning ,
as the tiny was breaking , he paid bis life for
the murder of Marie Aguut.int ,
"It Is for this morning , Prndo ; cheer up , "
exclaimed M. Heaqiicsne , governor of Ho-
quctte , awakening Prndo.
Llnskn woke up , rubbing his eyes , and ex
claimed :
"Why didn't you kill mo before ! "
"Will you have n glass of wmof" asked the
priest.
Prndo , with perfect coolness nnd excess of
coquetry , buttoned bis patent leather shoes
nnd drew tightly his lavender silk socks , as
ho replied : "Why M. 1'Abbe , you seem more
excited about this than I who am going
to this butchery to turn a somersault. "
Then turning to M. Chiron , ho said : "Pray
present my lust salutation to M. Ouillot ,
who sent mo to death. I protest my inno
cence. I never killed Marie Aguctant. I
swear it on tin1 head of my child. "
Afterwaids turning to Abbe Fuure , he
added ! "I don't believe in your bon Dion ,
nbbe. If he existed ho wouldn't leuvo me in
such a tlx now. Anyway , try and have my
remains buried. I don't want to be badly
carved and all chopped up by a lot of uwic-
ward , bungling medical students. "
Tiic abbe then hpoko of religion to him.
Prado replied :
"No me cusses pas la teto nvce vos
bctiscs. "
The solemn procession loft the prison nt
7:30 : n. in. The doomed man walked bctwceh
a priest and the executioner. M. Heaqiicsne ,
director of La loiuette { ] , walked behind.
Prudo's head was shaved and bis shirt cut
away from the neck. Ho wore no coat. His
hands were pinioned at his sides , and the
loosely fastened ropes allowed his legs to
move with a shuffling gait. Lines of soldiers
kept back the crowds.
Whatever he felt , the condemned man
showed no fear. His face was very pale ,
but it was pale with indignation ,
not cowardice. He shed no tears.
Ho stood Hrm , and then ho turned calmly to
the executioner , and that was all. He died
bravely. Not n moment was lost. The
doomed man was pushed against the upright
plunk , which rotating swiftly on its axis ,
swung him directly beneath the knife. His
neck projected through u tight lilting open
ing and he looked down into a basket waiting
for bis head. He looked there for ono , two ,
thrco seconds , nol more , nnd then n touch of
the spring sent u sinful soul lo its eternal
reckon ing.
Prado sent the following letter to Carnet :
"An iniquitous sentence lins condemned mo
to-dcath fora crime I did not commit. I
have awaited already forty days for my exe
cution , To wait longer would constitute u
gratuitous augmentation of the torture. I
ask you to abridge it. I disavow all steps
that may bu taken with the object of induc
ing you to commute my sentence. Such a
pardon ns that would forever separate me
from my beloved child , nnd leave mo under
the shadow of a monstrous judicial error. It
would bo a hundredfold inoro painful to mo
than death , although this death bo as shame
ful as that which I cngcriy ask for. I ask ,
Monsieur lo President , that you put an end to
this unutterable torture I am enduring. I
earnestly wish your presidency may add
Homo fine and glorious pages to the history
of France. Please accept , Monsieus lo Presi
dent , the homage of my admiration and of
lay respectful salutations. PUADO.
I Press. ] Prado , the murderer of Maria

WiNXH'KO , Man. , Dec , 23. [ Special Tclo-
priim toTi'.u Una ] A. J. Iluftlold , charged
with the murder of his wife on Christmas
day , nt a settlement near Winnipeg , was
brought , to this city to-day to await trial at
the assizes.
The details of the horrlblo crlmo have just
tieen made known. It scums that the body of
the murdered woman WHS found by n neigh
bor lying In the snow about fifty yards from
the 1 laflluld residence. The body was lying
face downwards , with the arms stretched
out ut full length , and was frozen stiff , The
face wus mutilated and smashed beyond rec
ognition. Tha weapon used by the murderer
was the handle of a pitchfork. The forlc
handle wus picked up near the 'house , ono
portion being near the corpse , and from the
position In which various pieces were lying ,
it 'a ' supposed tlmt Uufllold encountered
his wife nt the yard gate and making n pass
at her with the fork , the implement caught
on the unto nnd was broken. Then taking
0110 of the pieces , ho followed her up nnd de
livered blow after blow on her face and head
until shu dropped dead at his fcut.
According to the accounts given by settlers
in tlio neighborhood , the Iluftlelds lived hap
pily together until Huflleld formed an nffcc-
lU.n for his sistcr-ln-luw , which ripened into
an intimacy of such a nature that Mrs. Huf-
field was compelled to protest. Iluflleld , It
appears , did not desire to huvo his amour
broken olT , and commenced lll-trcuting his
wife from the tlJie that she llts-t protested
u uinst his conduct , and since that time until
tier deplorable death. Mrs. Huflleld and her
three children had frequently to ecck protec
tion from the cruelty of Haflleld beneath the
roafof friendly neighbors , A report is cur
rent iu Uio settlement that ukeii the bister-i
in-luw visltod the Haflleld home , she nnd
Hnnicld occupied a bed tip stairs , while Mrs.
Hnflleldvns compelled to sleep down stairs
with her children. HuDleld , who was drunk
nt the time of the murder , says be only re-
inomembers s'riklng his wife with his fist.
At the Inquest to night n verdict of murder

Cincuio , Dec. 2S. The convention of loco
motive engineers representing tlie brother
hood west of the Mississippi , commenced its
session here to day. There were numerous
reports as lo the object of the gathering , but
the delegates declared that the only pur
pose in vie.xv wus to establish closer relations
between the engineers of the west and south
west and solidify as much ns possible the
organization in that part of the country.
The proceedings of the meeting
were secret. There seems to
be , however. If outside gossip
counts for anything , little room for n douut
tlmt the real intention of the movement is to
devise u now plan of campaign in behalf of
the Hurlington strikers. The step most fa
vored apparently is to have an entirely new
committee wait upon the Hurlington ofllcinls
and endeavor once more to induce n compro
mise if possinlc. It is possible the committee
appointed at the Hichmond convention may
wait on thu Hurlington olllciuls to-morrow.

With Goncrnl Harri-ion.
IXWAX.U-OMS , Dec. 23. The only dis
tinguished out of town visitor at the resi
dence of tlio president-elect to-day was Sen
ator Henry M. Teller , of Colorado , ex-secre
tary of the interior under President Arthur.
Senator Teller arrived in the city last night
and wns the guest of Colonel and Mrs. N. U.
Ilucklc. He had a long private talk with the
president-elect this morning , and left the
city shortly after noon. There is consider
able speculation as to what passed between
the general and his visitor , and especially as
to what was the senator's particular mission.
In an interview had just prior to his calling
upon the president-elect , Senator Teller said
lie thought the tariff bill would pass , the
senate , not later than January 23 or 23. lie
did not believe there would be an extra
session of congress. Hogardlng the talk
about Senator Mitcboll , of Oregon , ns a
cabinet possibility , Teller snid"Ho would
make a very goo d cabinet officer , but I do not
know that no desires such u position , and 1
have heard of no offprt to urge him. I doubt
if ho would leave the senate. There would
bo nothing in the way of his acceptance. If
lie should bo appointed , his successor in the
senate would bo a republican , and the Oregon
legislature Is republican. " Tlio senator
thought that ono now cabinet olllcer
would certainly como from the
west. Ho stated that ho expected to
express his views to the prcsdent-
elect on political matters , but no should not
urge the appointment of any man. Ho
should , however , toll him what ho thought
about homo men. In response to the query
as lo whether tlio republican members of the
senate were not generally of the opinion tlmt
Hlulno should be invited into the cabinet ,
Senator Teller replied :
"Thero is a division of opinion. Hlnlno's
friends think tlmt , ho will bo secretary of
state , but there are ethers who think his ap
pointment might not be advisable. "
Two conflicting opinions exist to-nlpht
among locril politicians as to Senator Tol-
lor's cabinet suggestions and recommenda
tions to the president-elect. One is that ho
came to advocate Hlulno's appointment on
the ground of party harmony ; the other ,
that ho advised against Hlulno's entering
the cabinet. The real truth as to what , if
anything , the senator ; said on this point , is
known only to himself and General Harri
son , i
From a gentleman , who Is well advised on
Now York polities , It Js learned that Senator
Teller is an ardent supporter of ex-Senutor
Platt , and this fact being established , it
seems probable ho spoke several good words
for Platt.

SA.V Fit \Ncisro , Doe. 23. The contest be
tween Joe MoAullffo , oiniiiioii ) | ) heavy-weight
of the Pncltlo coast , nnil JuoUson , tlio colorcil
ch.impion from Australia , which occurred in
the California Athletic club to-night , has
been the solo topic of conversation In sport
ing circles for several weeks. Interest 1ms
been aroused by n number of circumstances.
McAulifTo had n clean record of victories ,
nml his recent battle with Mike Conlcy , In
which tlio latter was defeated in less than
live minutes , added greatly to the admiration
of his friends and gave the sporting public
Increased cnnfldciico In his merit us n scien
tific pugilist. It was generally conceded ,
however , that McAuliITu would light his
hardest buttlo to-night , for Jackson
had won an excellent reputation since
his arrival here , six months ago , and had
given high evidence of his ability In his
match last August with George Godfrey , In
which the Boston pugilist threw up the
sponge in the ninth rounil , when it. was plain
that Jackson way in every was his superior.
Another circumstance which intensified the
interest In the event was the understanding
that the winner would bo open to light any
man in tlio world , the California Athletic
club having offered a purse of $ (1,000 ( for that
purpose. The betting has been very lively
for several weeks past , and a largo amount
of money has been put up on the contest ,
MuAullffo was the favorite , the odds run
ning from two to one to 3100 to $1)0 ) , with
larger odds prevailing.
When tlio men stopped into the ring to
night there wore 2,000 persons present and
n great throng in the street outside ,
which cheered us the progress of the light
was announced to them. As the men stood
in the ring , McAulifTo appeared to have the
advantage , so fnr as weight and height were
concerned. Ills weight was ! WO , while Jack
son was n little over 200. McAulllTe stood
six feet and three-quarter inches , Jackson
six feet one-quarter. The hitter had a little
advantage in reach. Hiram Cook , of this
city was chosen referee. Time was called
at'.iid. : !
First Hound The men sparred cautiously
at iirst. Soon McAuliffo led oft with his
right and caught Jackson lightly on tlio ear.
Tliis was followed by an Interchange of
sharp blows. MeAuliffo made several lunges
and got ono good ono in on Jackson's neck ,
which the latter countered , and the round
closed.
Second Hound McAuliffo led with his left ,
but fell short. Jackson returned with his
right and caught McAulilTo well in the
breast. Hot lighting and several clinches
followed. Jackson next struck MoAulifTo
on the ear , and caused blood to How. This
round was generally in Jackson's lavor.
Third Hound There was some very heavy
hitting-by both at close rnngo in this" round ,
and tlio Australian was pounded more se
verely. McAuliiTc caught him once on tlio
side of the head , and caused him to stagger
across the ring. Jackson struck out tor-
rillcally. but feel short.
Fourth Hound Tliomen sparred cautiously
for a full minute , when McAuliffc led out
savagely , but Jackson escaped by jumping
aside. Jackson planted a light ono on MeAu-
lilTo , which the latter returned.
Fifth Hound Jackson opened the round
bv.getting a light blow on McAuliffo's fore
head , lie followed this up quickly and
forced McAuliffe against llio ropes. He then
forced the big California ! ! around the ring at
a lively rate , but. did little damage.
Sixth Hound lackson hud so far displayed
wonderful quickness. In this round ho struck
McAuliffo several staggering blows on tlio
head , and forced him against-tho ropes. Ho
also succeeded in jumping back so quick as
to avoid several powerful blows which were
aimed at his head.
Seventh Hound Tlio men retained the ut
most good humor and would smile whenever
an advantage was gained by either. In this
round McAulilTe got ono swinging blow on
Jackson's chin , which the latter returned.
Very little was done during the round.
Eighth Hound The previous light round
had rested the men some and they opened
lively. Jackson caught McAuliffo in the
wind twice , and WHS apparently directing his
blows to that spot. Jackson continued to
force his adversary around the ring and hud
by far the best of the round.
Ninth Hound There was no reason to bo-
licvo at this point that thu tight would come
to a close very soon. No particular damage
had been dene by either , though Jackson lnul
tht ) best of the light so far. Ho continued
todiivohis right at McAulilTo's head , but
the blows were light.
Tenth Hound Jackson again forced the
fighting and pounded McAuliffo several
times in the face , the latter returned them
and caught Jackson on the neck , which
caused the colored man to slip to the floor.
Eleventh Hound McAuliffo's eyes were be
ginning to puff up slightly and his oar was still
bleeding. Jackson appeared none the worse.
Ho continued to pound McAulilTo in the
ribs , but tlio latter didn't seem to bo much
annoyed by it. Two hard blows in the face
wero'intcrchanged and the round closed.
Twelfth Hound Hoth men were evidently
getting a little tired , and hardly a pass was
made by either throughout the round.
Thirteenth Hound This round was a repe
tition of the twelfth.
Fourteenth Hound Jackson caught Me-
Aullft'o lightly on the chin and again in the
throut , the latter knocking him agiTliiKt the
ropes. MeAuliffo looked for nn opcrilnir , but
thu Kcicntillu Australian did not seem in
clined to give him one.
Fifteenth Hound Jackson forced the light
ing and pounded MeAiilllTo on tlio ribs , and
guvo him ono hard ono on the nose , which hu
followed up with sovi.-ral others , Jackson
appeared to think he had the Ciilifornlan
whipped and continued to force him around
the ring.
Sixteenth Hound Jackson opened the
round with two right banners on McAuliffo's
nose , which he followed UP well. Me A ill life
led out savagely t.everal times , but Jackson
jumped aside quickly and escaped the blows ,
Seventeenth Hound McAulilTo caught
Jiickfion lightly on the jaw , hut the latter re
turned It well and rained naif a do/en hard
ones on McAulitTo'n head , which seemed to
duzo the latter a little ,
Eighteenth Hound Jackson gave MAu -
llffu n tcrrillc ono in the ribs , which sent bun
lightly to tlio door. When ho rose , Jacifson
fun-oil him Into the corner and p.nmdcd him
in the head unmercifully. It looked as If
McAuliffo would huvo to go down , but ho
managed to stand up under the blown until
the cull of time saved him from a fall.
Nineteenth Hound Jiiekson pursued the
same rushing ti'ctlcu , and tried to get his
adversary in the corner again. Ho suc
ceeded in getting him against the ropes ,
where ho again ruined blows on his head ,
but failed to got him knocked down. .Mc
AulilTo did very little but muko an attempt
lo dufcnd'ldmscir.
From this tlnm on to the end nf the light
Jacltuon continued to force the lighting ,
MuAullffo growing weaker and weaker , and
at the end of the twenty-fourth round was
Idiockod completely out , and the referee
guvo the fight to Jackson , This is his Iirst
defeat.

The Hon. Willinm Springer bus been
spending hia holidays looKlng up pretty
names for the now states to bo made out of
the present territories. A few days ago ho
sent a letter to tlio bureau of ethnology re
questing Its aid in this direction , nnd received
the following interesting letter from Colonel
Gnrriek Mullorv , the eminent scientist !
"In compliance with your request , I hnvo
directed cspeehil attention to a desirable name
for n state to bo composed of the southern
portion of the present territory of Dakota.
Your limitations were that the name should
have direct reference to the Dakota stock or
linguistic family of Indian names , and that
the term "Dakota" itself was to bo used for
the northern portion of the territory , Two
words purely Dnkotun , seem to have euphony
and poetical merit. Ono is "Wlnonu , " the
name given to the iirst born child of a Da
kota woman , provided the llrst
born is a female. An objection
to the use of that term is that It Is already
appropriated by a town now well known
The other is "Tatouku , " translated "Huf-
lalo , " Involving the idea of the land of the
butfiih ) , which is appropriate to that region.
Thy term which 1 recommend is strictly of
ethnological accuracy for that region. It is
"sanoiiu , " this is the old nnd correct form
for the larger p.irt of the D.ikotun stock ,
which hud its home in that p.irt of the terri
tory. It appears In Lewis nnd Clarke under
the blundering forms of "Sahono" anil
"Saone. " and in our own Indian treaties as
"Sionne , " and comprehends the majority or
thegreut body now popularly spelled "To-
ton , " bit correctly "Titonwan. " Tins last
expression might be used , but it Is not so
euphonious as "Sanniia , " winch menus sub
stantially the same , that is , the title of the
Indians who actually were the predecessors
of the whites in tlio locality under con
sideration. "
Mr. Springer does not , however ,
share the eminent ethnologist's pre
ference for "Sanoiiu. " Ho thinks
"Wmuna" is the most pleasant of nil , and
has selected It for South Dakota. He will
advocate the retention ol tliotmmo "Dakota"
lor North Dakota , "mainly , " he says , "bo-
cause the name bus become a part of our po
litical history , and so bus many reasons to
bo remembered. " Ho instances tlio wldo
signilicance in business circles of tlio term
"Dakota wheat. " In the naming of the
other new states , Mr. Springer has shown
equal good taste- and research. Now Mexico
is to join the sisterhood of states under the
stately name of "Montezuma. " For Wash
ington territory ho has selected "Luconlca , "
while. Montana is to retain its pre.sent name.
Mr. Springer is showing his colleagues tlmt
ho is both a poet and a scholar.
.NO COMI-KOMISI : .
In view of the expressed determination of
the president to veto the river ami harbor
bill , it linn been reported that the measure
would not be puohod , but nliowcd to die In
the house. Chairman Hhmclmrd , of thu
river mid harbor committee , who bus eharco
of the bill , wus asked to-day if lie proposed
to adopt , tnat course. Ho replied ! "No ,
sir , we propose to puss the bill without refer
ence to the course the president may pursue
when it reaches him. If ho vetoes it and
does it in time , we will pass it over the veto.
There is no intention of abandoning the bill
and securing the passage of a substitute. It
will go through just us it came from the com
mittee. "
TIII : JOMKA'S CASK.
In spite of the fact that Secretary Haynrd
asserts that the United States can do noth
ing towards securing redress for the captain
of the brigantine Josefa , lined in Pnrtu liica ,
because his manifests failed totally with his
cargo.thcre is a disposition on the purl of sov-
crul senators , to whoso attention the subject
has been called , to insist that the United
States can do something , and that it shall.
Mr. Hayurd wqulii have scarcely adopted
the inactive policy , which ho has shown In
this case , hud the offending government
been a less powerful ono than Spain. It is
argued that the offense of Huyti was not so
exasperating as the action of tlio Spanish-
American authorities in many instances in
their treatment of American vessels , and it
is more thnn likely that the s-oi rulary of
state will be called upon for all the details of
Hie ulfair in his pos"ossion , anil that notion
will be taken looking net only to the redress
of the evils complained of , but to the proven-
lion of such impositions in thu future.
