THE BREMEN TRAGEDY.

DEATH OF THoMAssEN-HIs CONFESSIONS
AN AMERICAN AND A BLOCKADE RUNNER
TESTIMONY OF THE MAKER OF THE MA
CHINE.
NEW YORK, Dec. l6.-According TO Bremen
dispatches, Thomassen, the passenger on the
Mosel and owner of the cask OF dynamite
which caused the terrible disaster at Bremen
Haven, has confessed his guilt,saying that he had
accomplices at New York. The motive for this
diabolical scheme appears to have been TO pro-
cure exaggerated and fictitious insurance, and
10 share aiterward with the others. ThOmassen
the bullets have not YET been extracted from
his head. From what is known, the barrel
prepared for this shameful work was
made strongly by Bremen cooper
Ing the '' dynamite one ana aA'' the other
the apparatus for exploding IT, He intended to
place his hellish machine on the Deutschland,
but 1t was not ready in time The Weser Zsitung
adds: "In sober words we communicate then
with certaiHty that the number OF victims
killed and wounded, amounts to one hundred
and 'orty. William X. Thomassen Is the per-
petrator's full name and since his attempt at sui
eide, as made n full confession Hewas born in
New York, married "A New Orleans lady and b as
In Virginia during II e war and engaged Ia the
business of blockade running, whereby he grew
rich. Since 1865 he has resided here and
Dresden He appears to- have lost this
money and became embarrassed. He was
twice in America during the past summer. The
last time he went without the knowledge
of his family, and when he returned he wroie
his b mixer here that he had ade arrangements
enabling him TO pay his debts in December.
He was highly esteemed by the people In Ger
many. His house has been sesrched but no hing
was found connected with the disaster. Thorn
assen has attempted suicide again by tearing OF
the dressings from his wounds"
BREMEN, Dec. l6-Thomassen died to-day from
the effects of the injuries inflicted by himself.
He stated that his true name was william
King Thompson and that he was
a native of Brooklyn, N. Y. His
age is believed to be about IS years. He con-
fessed thai he was once the captain of the vessel
Old Dominion, and that he changed his name
10 avoid being prosecuted for run:
war in America; that he bought the explosive
material in the United States ano had 1t for
ward I'd TO his address, and that the clockwork
attachment was manufactured in Germany
and ives set to explode the charge In eight
days.
MAoDEBuRG, Dec. Lett is stated here that
Thompson, alias Thomassen, had his clock
work made by mechanic named Fuchs,
residing at Bernburg. The apparatus
was constructed to run noiselessly
for ten days, when IL caused lever TO act and
strike with the force OF thirty pounds. Twenty
similar machines had been ordered The nego-
tiations between Thompson and Fuchs had
been carried on since 1873, when
Egehs ysi'ed told Thompson I'm epsls
that the machines were required for manufac-
tory In the United States. Thompson has not
revealed the name OF his accomplices.
BREMEN HAVEN, Dec. lo.-The steamer Sal
Her. which took the place of the Mosel, sailed to-
day for New York.

pont 1t appeared that man In such rela-
tionship to the ring could not &C the part
of prosecutor with becoming zea', and In
fact the sllp-shod, des1ltory character OF
ficIent proof Of Wards unfitness for
the business. The revelations OF
whisky croosedness in Indiana
have attracted less notice than they would
have done but for the more dramatic aud
startling phases OF the st. Louis discoveries
and the succeeding events. However, one
person has found sufficient to arouse his
mental functions TO excited operation,
which person il your own Senator Morton.
You have doubtless already printed divers
telegram denying the report that in the
campaign OF 1872 he mulcted the whisky
ring in the sum of SOC, 900 for political pur-
poses. The telegraph, however. could
not portray the irritation and wrath
depicted in the face and In
the movements of the senator when
be read the little impeachment of bis free
dom from the crooked whisky influence.
This fine exhibition of OVERLOOKING indigns-
ton was perhaps genuine outcome of feel
ing, but then these higb-wrought enuncia-
tons of virtue begin to fall upon the
general palate, and they have become worse
than tssteless since the puncturing and
squeezing of Avery's, Joyce's and now Bah
cocks emphatic and resonant assertions OF
injured innocence.
the doubtful compliment of a serensde from
the Metropolitan Club, local political
organization. Doubtful compliment 1t was,
and was so received by Mr.. Kerr, tor the
club is composed, to great extent, or at
least under the influence of certain so-cslled
democrats, who have been involved in the
Shepherd ring intricscies. It was under
stood that Mr.. New would make some kind
of a speech at this seTenade, but when the
band had sent out a sufficient amount of its
brszsn clsmor, the expectsnt gathering of
people looked in vain tor Mr.. New and were
Obliged to content themselves with a very
brief acknowledgment by Mr.. Kerr. There
is, by the way, report that Mr..
New intends without much delay to tender
his resignation of the Office of treasurer. /
90 not know whether he has yet given inti-
nation OF his purpose TO Mr.. Brissow or the
president His disposition TO retire arises
from considerations of private nature
During his residence in Washington he b Al
gained many friends, In DO h his 0fi'sia
and social capacities, and his withdIFIwa
will be sincerely regretted by numbers wh'
have come in contact with him.

A Vast StOck-Farm,

The ranch of John S. Chisum, of
Bosque Grande, New Mexico, was sold to
Col. r. D. Hunter, of St. Louis. the
other day for $2l9,000, one-half cash
down. The purchase includes the thirty
thousand cattle now on the ranch. Dur
ing the past year, Mr.. Chisum has sold to
Colorado, Kansas City, and st. Louis
buyers, about twenty thousand head of
beef cattle. Besides these he has sup
piled some eight thousand head to con-
tractors in New Mexico and Arizona.
The rancho extends along the Peco River
from Fort Sumner to Seven Rivers, a
distance of one hundred and fifty miles.
This is its scope north and south. East
and west it extends as far on each side of
the stream, as stock can range without
water. The range on both sides of the
river is high, rolling prairie, covered
with a thick, heavy Growth of black
gramma, a most nutritious grass. Dur
ing this past summer the grass over much
of this area has stood knee high to cat
tie. The residence buildings are situated
| in the center of the ranch. Stations, OF
cow-camps, are on the river atintervals
of thirty and forty miles. Two hundred
herders have been employed on the
ranch the past summer. At one time
this season the horses numbered si1
thousand head A successful raid by the
redskins reduced this number about on,
thousand. Col. Hunter, the purchases
of this vast estate, will engage more ex
tensively than Mr.. Chisum in the breed
ing business. He has just bought tw'
bundled saddle-horses for use at tn
February roundup. - DeaUer (C0I.
