But little is known Of Kings business or ante
cedents. o. the deceased woman still less is
known. She had frequently stated to Mr..
Blanchard that she was a native OF Virginia,
but the police state. that her mother and sister
reside in BROOKLYN. They further alege that
she was at one time a waiter girl at the Louvre
concert Saloon, where King had formed her
acquaintance. She was about twenty-four years
OF age, and was a beautiful brunette with black
eyes and Jet black hair.
The room which was made the scene of this
fearful tragedy is a small apartment on the
fourth floor, in the rear OF the house. and is fur
nished plainly yet neady, with stained oak set
OF cottage furniture. King had preferred it on
account of its being the cheapest.
As soon as the details of the tragedy became
known In the neighborhood, an intense excite
ment was occasioned, accom- painted by a craving
to gaze with morbid curiosity upon the victims
of this fearful occurrence. The pohce, how.
ever refused admittance to all but those whose
official duties called them to the scene of the
tragedy. The inquest to-day may develop some
further facts In respect to the antecedents of
KING and his wife, or paramour, as the case
may be,-N. Y. World.

The Prince was observed to wear three rib

THE WINNER.

GRAND MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF AMERICA
AND $1,000 BETWEEN DION AND MDBvITT--DIoN
THE WINNER.
championship of America aud $1,000 a side was
played at Mechanics Hall tonight. Phelan was
chosen as referee. Betting at opening was I've
to three on Dion. The play was very cautious
from the outset. In the thirteenth innings Dion
scored III; and in the sixteenth, McDevitt SS. At
the close of the thirty. eighth innings the score
stood:-Dion, 422; Nc Dewitt 223. From this to
the tortynnth innings the play was exceedingly
cautious, McDevltt showing slight signs OF ner-
vousness. On the forty-ninth hand Dion scored
1l8-the game standing, Tor Dion, 575; for
McDevitt, 26O. The betting at this time was two
TO one on Dion.
From this point for long time the play was
round the table, both playing most beautifully,
but Dion having O marked advantage in the
play. McDevitt was very unlucky, the balls
kissing repeatedly, and he pocketing himself
frequently. No chances for large runs or nurs-
ing presented themselves, the balls being kept
McDevitt got the red and white together at the
pocket, and made a fine break of 22J, PLAYING
with great nerve; but the balls we're unfortu-
nately got frozen. Play was again cautious for
awhile, both playing round the table.
> In the siXty-eghth inning Dion got the reds
under the side cushion, and played so finely
that he obtained 1913, McDevitt following salt
with fine run on the same balls, at the lower
end of the table, for 2l8; the score standlng:-
Dion sol; McDevitt. 749.
Things we're looking easy for McDevitt, when
Dion got another magnificent innings on the
two reds, at the lower pocket, scoring the i'm
mense run of GIG, winning by 6S4 points.
The score stood-for Dion, 1900; ior McDevitt,
SIG. Time, two hours forty-dve minutes.

SENATORIAL EXCURSION PARTY.
SPEECH OF SENATOR WADE.

LAWRENCE, Kansas, June Ex-senator Wade
delivered a significant impromptu speech to-
day, in reply to calls from crowd OF citizens in
front of the hotel where the eXcursionists
dined, He declared unequivocally in favor OF
female suffrage, reiterating views expressed in
the Senate last spring. He declared that neither
Johnson nor the devil could tempt Congress TO
desert the people; said that the Sou herners
now had the mlldest terms offered them they
ever would get; and that If they rejected them
the screw would be driven another turn,
and they would be compelled TO yield. The
Senator added that the shadow OF another
struggle was over us; that Congress, which
has done so much for the slave, cannot
quietly regard the terrible distinction which
exists between the laborer and employer. Pro.
perty is not fairly divided, and a more equal
distribution must be wrought out. II your dull
heads, he said, can't understand this, the
women will, and canvassers upon the eve of an
election will have to tell the laborers what they
will do for them, Men should not be compelled
to labor until life is worn out, and being is
curse, nor can this always be the case here,
where every man is capitalist to a certain
extent. These inequalities are not felt as they
are in the East Every man, then, who was
subject to q capitalist ought to leave him, and
get two hours nearer sundown forthwith. He
(Wade) pledged himself TO advocate boldly and
persistently the natural rights of men, and pre-
dicted the most important commercial results
from the completion of the Pacific Road He
was frequently applauded.
CoVode and Train made fiery speeches.
