The Prisoners Daughter and
her Evidence.
What she knows OF the He'll
wagner Murder.
A Post-mortem Examination
and its Results.

As stated in the ARGUS, the coroner yes
terday visited the little cemetery neal
8 Hampton and examined the remains OF
Dora Heilwagner who was so brutally
: murdered on the night of the 5th of the
present month. The post norton exam
ination was conducted by DIR. Dawson OF
Moline, and revealed the fact that the
skull was pierced by a bullet as well as
being crushed by some blunt instrument,
THE pistol ball penetrated the head of the
] and emerging on the opposite side of the
head. The importance of this investiga-
Ttion cannot be over estimated as from now
on the work of fastening the crime upon
sthe accused man who is the father-in-law

with vigor and determination.

MINING TROUBLES,

ST. LOTS, November 95-1nformation
from different parts OF the Bellevile, Hi.
nois, mining district, is 10 the effect that
there is good deal Of bud feeling among n
number Of the strikers, and that threats OF
violence 10 mon who continue at work are
freely made. At the Birner mines some
forty or fifty strikers appeared early this
morning, and with drawn rcvolvcrs threat
encd to drive the workers away, but the
sheriff arrived shortly aftcrand the strikers
subsided. Only p.lrt Of the miners have
struck. Some OF the men manifest a strong
disposition to force all the miners in the
district into the strike.
Two or three Of the operators, notably
Mr.. Harris, who has the contract for sup
plying the water works OF this city with
coal, have pledges from their men TO dig
ut three cents per bushel for Il certain time,
and these men say they will stand by the
agreement. They also say that if the au-
thorities do not furnish them protection
they will arm and protect themselves. No
actual damage has yet been done, but there
is n very disturbed condition Of aiI;lirs in
some parts Of the districts, and acts OF vio-
lcnce are liable.

Of the Board OF Health, says of the cholera
and plague reported to be rigging in parts
Of the old world: 81 DO not think that
there is reason for any outbreak OF either
the cholera or the plague here. The
National Board OF Health has known for
some time that cholera was rigging in many
places in Europe and Asia, and made ar
rangcments with the health authorities OF
other nations TO prevent its spread. What
they will do about this other disease,
bubonic plague, which l judge resembles
the black death OF the middle ages, I do
not know, but they Yill undoubtedly net
promptly as they have heretofore, so soon
as the nature OF this plague is more delini-
tely known.

: WlLEEsnAERE, Pa, November 25.-Well-
or, the young. man who deserted his ex-
pectant bride almost Mt the altar, unex-
pectedly returned to-day. He was assailed
on all sides by the Indignant friends OF the
young lady, who is lying quite ill ut her
residence. Weller went at once to the
home OF his ailianced, and asked to see
her. The mother forbade his entrance,
but he forced himself into the house and
was met by the disappointed bride, who
arose from her sick couch at the sound OF
his voice and rushed into his arms.
Subsequently IN interview took place
between her mother and Weller, ut which
tho daughter was present. He protested
that he did not know what urged him 10
act rs he did, and said he was anxious that
the wedding should take place soon. The
mother would listen to no proposition
from him, and he LETT the house. y
Weller explained 10 his friends that
nothing but his obstinacy inspired him to
do what he had done. He said he had re-
qucstcd that the wedding be postponed n
second time, and the mother and bride
bluntly objected. This angered him, and
his subsequent action was more in retalia

MR.. 1IIsCOCK's PROGRAMME,
He Would Prefer n Committee Chair
| mnnAllIn 10 n Encalicr,A linrnI -

AAc houhu I'rclcr Committee Chair.
mnnship TO Epealtcr's GnvcI.
New ioEn, November 25.-An Albany
special to the SIN says: "Whcn Frank
Hiscock, the Onondaga member OF Com
gress, passed through here on his way to
Washington, he lsft the impression on the
minds Of some OF his friends that the ulti-
mate point which he hoped to reach was
not the Speakership Of the House, but the
Guardianship Of the Committee on Ways
and Means or Of the Committee OF Appro.
priations. Nevertheless he will struggle to
be Speaker Just the same. Indeed, this is
an essential part OF his programme.
There is IN old rule OF parliamentary
courtesy which requires the Speaker to
give the craftsmanship of one OF the prin-
cipal committees to his most formidable
competitor in the nominating caucus. The
rule has sometimes, been held to 20 even
to the extent Of comforting n leading chair
manship OH the candidate for Speaker who
stood third in the caucus. OF late wears
the rule bus been often modified. II a
member, for example, should have a large
following for the Speakership, but not
enough to win the gavel, and he should
agree to take his friends over to his rival
in the caucus, and the latter should there
by be nominated, then the Speaker would
give TO the ally who came to his support
high place on the committees.
"But it will be seen that in either view
OF this rule the member who hopes for a
foremost position on the committees, and
especially the very highest, must make u
good fight, and have strong backing for
the Speakcrship. It is believed that Mr..
Iliscock is connecting his apparent can.
vass for the Chair OF the House with tLe
real expectation of reaching only the head
OF one OF its prominent committees. II
this is quietly understood by the eighteen
other Republicans in the New York dele
CATION, Hiscock may get the support OF the
greater share OF them. There IS feeling
among his Republican colleagues that Ills.
cock is pushing forward rather fast. This
is the opinion of Ex-senator Conklinc.
and his friends in the delegation have told
lliscock so very plainly, = IT, .Es
"Hiscock bore shire in the Greeley.
Fenton struggle in the State convention OF
1871. He was Liberal leader in the Pres.
PRESIDENTIAL campaign Of the next year,
and ran for Congress on the Liberal Demo-
cratic ticket, but was defeated. lie slid
back into the regular Republican fold i'm
mediately afterward, nnd was ultimately
chosen for Congress. For five or six years
back he has been standing candidate for
Governor and United States Senator. Now,
perhaps, he may obtain good.sized chair.
manship in the makeup OF the committees
OF the New House."
