Terrible LfreeIs of jealousy

Vienna papers contain accounts OF
terrible tragedy which occurred there on
November II. LeOpOldine Weiss, a
young operetta singer of attractive ap-
pearance, and we'll known for her skill
in the use of the jodel or tyrolean warble,
had been for some time receiving the at
tentiOns of young man named Julius
DWOracZek. A few days before the
event here to be recorded DwOraczek had
obtained information that the object of
his affections was going 10 discard him
and marry young actor. de called on
her on the 11th and asked her to
take a walk, as he wished to buy her a
cloak if she wished one. She COM
piled willingly, and said she would
like a cloak like that of a friend OF hers
whom she proposed to visit first to OBJ
tain some particulars in regard to the
style and make of the garment. de fol
lowed her to the apartment of this friend,
aud while the latter was hunting for her
cloak in trunk she was suddenl y star
tied by a terrific shrek, and looking up
she saw that Dworaczek had smashed
bottle of sulphuric acid on the head OF
the girl, who Immediately tainted, and
had 10 be transported TO the hospital.
Meanwhile DwOracZek had swallowed
some poison, from the effects OF which
he died in few minutes. His victim S
face is terribly disfgured, and the doc
tors say that, although her life may pos
sibly be saved, she will lose her eyesight
completely.

PERU-CHILI.
The London "Times'' and the HSt.
James Gazetteer on American In
terventIOn.

LONDON, December 14.-The Times, 10 its
leading article this morning on the relations
Of the United States with Chill and Peru,
continues as follows: "Is is satisfactory
that Mr.. Hurlbut's eccentricities have been
reproved by the State Department. We
cannot doubt that America is sincere In her
desire to reconcile the victors and the van
quished. The appearance of dictation and
partisanship may be explained by the unfit
ness OF the instruments chosen by the Secre-
tary OF State. 1t is not likely that EGG
land or any European State will
be tempted to meddle in the affairs OF
South America, but such Intervention
might be necessary If European interests
should be affected. 1t must not be imagined
that the European powers caa acquiesce in
very wide extension of the Monroe doc
trine, implied in Secretary Blaine's dis
patches. Intervention for the protection of
European interests is rightfully claimed by
the powers as 1t is by the United States for
the protection of their interests in China
and Japan"
The st. James Gazette says: "There is moth
ing in Mr.. Blaine's dispatches with which 1t
would be reasonable or profitable for the
European governments to find fault, but
there is much cause for reflection that
Europe will have in the future to regard
the United States as having foreign policy
OF their own. Although that policy may
only concern South America, yet, consider
ing the commercial ties between South
America and Europe, 1t may cross and con-
fuse the policy Of the European govern
ments In ways and to an extent now only
family fOreseen.n

THE TRIAL OF GUITEAU.
The Testimony Resumed
speech from the Aceused-A Juror
Hi.

WASHINGTON, December 14.-There was
another rush, jam and scramble for seats at
the Guiteau trial this morning. The first
witness was DR.. John L. Withrow, of Bos-
ton. He related incidents concerning his
meeting with Guitesu in Boston. Guiteau
called on him in 1879, and requested per-
mission to lecture in his (wItnessO church
in reply to Ingersoll. Witness declined to
have his church used for that purpose. He
thought Guiteau possessed unusual cute
ness, and never saw any indications of un-
sound mind.
The trial was suspended for a few minu-
tes to allow sick juror to step out. Guiteau
took advantage of the opportunity to make
little speech, in which he said the object
OF the testimony was evidently for the pur-
pose OF showing If he knew right from
wrong, and thAs he had nothing to do with
the case. The only question was whether
or not his free moral agency was destroyed
when he was impelled upon the President.
Chas. A. Bryan, of the Equitable Life In
suraUce Company, was the next witness,
and related the connection of Guiteau with
his company, and said he thought him a
pretty shrewd fellow, but never saw the
slightest indication of insanity.
Henry NJ. Collier, an attorney Of New
York, took the stand, and testified in regard
to the prisoners collecting $175 and falling
to pay it over. During the examination of
the witness one of the jurors complained OF
sickness, and the court adjourned until to-
morrow.

CHARLESTON FLASHES.
Costly Cotton Fires Averted.

CHARLESTON, December 14.-Charleston
had three very narrow escapes from serious
and disastrous cotton confagrations o-day.
Two bales Of cotton on the Atlantic wharf
took fire aud were discovered and extin-
guished without damage. Another similar
accident occurred at the Central wharf,
with like fortunate results.
About 3 p. m. lot of compressed cotton
removed from the steamer Vidal Sala, from
Savannah, which put in here in distress,
caught fire and an alarm was sounded. The
flames were extinguished after about one
hundred and fifty bales of cotton had been
damaged.
The cargo Of the Vidal Sals was examined
and found to be all -ight, but the greater
portion of it will probably have to be un-
loaded. The river front is heavily packed
with cotton at this time, and a confisgra-
ton now would result in a fearful loss OF
property.
