A Horrible Mystery Of Blood and

A Horrible Mystery Of Blood and Fire.
CINCINNATI, o., Nov. S.-A most brutal
and revolving mysterious murder was COM
mitted at the tannery Of Henry Freiburg,
on Livingston street, some time between 10
o'clock last night and daylight this morn
ing. One of the worInen went to the tan
merry this morning, and looking into the
boiler furnace observed upon the halfcon-
sumed fuel the body of a man, the arms
and legs burned of.
Herman Schilling, a Waterman at the
tannery, who slept there at night, was
missing. The body was extracted, and
identified as that of SchilliDg. In the
stable were signs Of desperate encounter.
A bloody pitchfOrk lay on the ground, and
blood stains formed trail to the furnace in
the tannery.
Suspicion settled on three men, Abner
Egner, Fred. Egner, his son, and George
Rufer, discharged employe Of the tanneTy.
Early last August a seduced daughter of
Egner died in childbirth at the hospital.
Egner and his son charged Schilling with
her seduction, and went into the tannery
and beat him severely with cooper slaves.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.-There are no
new Developments in the case Of the horri-
BILE murder of Schilling. At the cOroner's

tied the United States Court building and
fled the reply of Mr.. Mouhon to the

A BaIk ut Billiards.
In billiard tournament to-day the six
teenth game was between Geo Slossom and
A. P. Rudolphe. In the 21St inning by a
magnificent play, Slossom added SIS to his
score, passing Rudolphe, and calling forth
loud applause. RudOlphe claimed that the
63rd shot of the run did not count, but the
referee would not allow it. Rudolphe
then placed his cue on the table between
the balls and refused to allow Slossom TO
play. The latter continued, however,
amid loud applause, until he had completed
the run as above stated. The game was
closed in the 35th inning by SloSsom, with
a run Of 50, RudOlphe being 254. The

wafer Daily and Two SpOOnfuls OF
water WeekIy-NO sleep for Three
Years.
For several months past the German
newspapers have been discussing the case
of Louise Iateau, the fasting girl Of La
Plate. A correspondent of the London
Times, writing from Jena, gives the follow
ing information about her;
At the meeting Of German naturalists
and physicians recently held in Breslau,
Prof. Virchow delivered a speech on a sub
ject which has made no small sensation in
many parts of Germany. Some three years
ago book appeared entitled, "LOuise La
teau. sa Vie, ses ExtaseS, ct ses StigInates."
Not much notice was at first taken Of it..
This year, bOwever,a pamphlet was publish
ed by Prof. Rolling, of the Academy in
Munster, entitled "LOuise Lateau, die Stig-
matisirte Won Bots d'Haine." The work
has reached its ninth edition, and $4,000
copies have passed into circulation. 1t
states that the young woman to whom 1t
refers was born in Bots d'Haine, in the
diocese Of Journals, WallOon district of
Belgium. In her childhood she suffered
much from illness, and showed extraordi-
nary zeal in the performance of her re-
ligiOus duties.
n. In 1866, she became subject to ecStacies
Of which we shall afterward speak, and two
wears later, on the 2lst of April, 1868, on a
Friday, Just at the time when she bad COM
pleted her nOvitiate in the third Order OF
st. Francis of Assist, stigInata-that IS to
say, marks representing the wounds OF
Christ-made their appearance on her body
They were received by her just similar a
signs were by St. Francis an other saints
They first appeared as red places on the
skin. out of which afterward blood issued
On the first Friday there were bleeding
(Blutumgen) on her left side, the following
Friday there were similar bleedings from
her feet and from her hands. Eventually
on the 18th of September, spots appeared
on her brow which one could recognize a:
decidedly similar to those crown Of thorn:
would produce.
She had become subject 10 eestasies, gen

continue. While under these inhuencies
she loses all sensibility for the outer world

fact that il is written by "a professor" who
declares himself unable to explain the
phenomena, has brought the story under
the notice Of class of persons who are
not likely to attach importance to cOntem-
porary miracles. Prof. Rolling did
not feel satisfied with the success
of his pamphlet. He wrote TO Prof.
VirchOw rs 10 great Psychologist, 70
ask him his opinion about this
very remarkable phenOmen. In his letter
he remarked that the Catholic Apologies
lay down the principle that phenomenon
NAV only thus be treated as miracle when
science has proved unable to explain il ae-
eording TO fixed incontTOvertible laws. The
Germdnid, a leading paper Of the extreme
Roman Catholic party, is so convinced
that a miracle has occurred that IL
also appeals TO Prof. VirchOw. II
asks him Why he does not make the phe-
nomena the subject of careful study, and
tells him he would find an occupation in
the examination If this case as likely to
promote the interests of science as anything
he could do in Sweden or Norway; refer
ring, no doubt, to his presence al an Arch
geological Congress at Stockholm
Prof. VirchOw treats the case as one OF a
class familiar to him. He does not think
it would be Of so much service to science
as the GeTmGniG believes to visit Bots
d'Haine. He has been sixteen or seven
teen years physician to theidepartment for
sick prisoners at Berlin, and knows very
MANY kinds Of stimulation. One. case has
come under his notice of ceasing to take
nourishment, in which the whole sup
Div of food was consumed in an
extraordinary manner. at has given him, y
he saws, ssthe greatest trouble, even per
fectly organized as his hospital is, to trace
out the tricks and shifts to which such
persons as Louise Lateau resort" Still
despite all the annoyance likely TO re
suit, he would not object to receive the
Girl into his establishment, aud would lOoE
carefully into her case, which he admits
has become of serious importance, now thai
the eolDOrtGge is still carrying thousands
of pamphlets ON the subject into every vii
lace Of the Rhine, and great part Of tbs
country is in a fermenr about it.

GREAT RETAIN.

LONDON, Nov. g.-The festivities of the
Lord Mayors day were concluded with q
ersand banquet at Guild Hall. In response
to a toast to the Queens Ministry, Disraeli
made a speech in which he said: The
working classes of Great Britain in
herit rights and privileges not yet pos
sessed by the nobility Of other lands.
They had no fear Of arbitrary
ministers and domiciliaTy visits. They
possessed the right to combine for and in
the protection and interest of labor. JUS
tice was pure and no respecter OF individ-
ual classes. No one was liable to be
dragged unwilling from his home and en-
pigments. 1t was not wonderful that a
nation possessed of such privileges wished
to preserve them. Under such circum-
stances was it to be wondered at that the
working classes were conseTvate.

of the hated Butler in peculiar way.
He took carriage and placed on either
side large placard inscribed: Who
will crush Brother Sam now?" With
a look of defiance and exultation he
drove slowly past Buffers Office In
