SEDUCTION AND MURDER.
A German kIuins Girl, and Attacks
Her Two Brothers, Killing One.

CHICAGO June 1S-Rudolph Brem, SO
years old, residing at No 100 High street, had
a sister, Lizzie, who fell in love with swar-
thy Teuton, Albert Tusch by name. She is
now about to become mother, and when the
brother approached Tusch with demand to
marry the girl Tusch replied that the girl
was acquainted with too many men to
make it possible that he was the father of the
child. Mr.. Brem and his brother, Lewis,
of No. 176 Perry street, then met Tusch by
appointment on Southport avenue, near Bel
den avenue, When Rudolph asked the young
man to marry his sister Tuseh again refused.
This was at 10 o'clock In the morning. Angry
words followed, in which Brem threatened
legal prosecution. Tusch seems to have de-
termined to prevent such a course by murder
ing both opponents ON the spot As the two
brothers were leaving the place they were at
tackled by Tusch, who dealt each
blow on the head with some blunt
instrument and escaped Rudolph had
his skull fractured and blood-vessel burst,
and was taken to the Alexian Brothers hos
pital by the LarTabee street patrol At an
early hour this morning he died, blood-yes-
sci having burst. His brother Lewis was taken
to his home and was attended by Dr. Londis,
but his wound is not considered dangerous
Tusch is supposed to have aocomplices, who
did not however, take part in the fracas. He
escaped in the vicinity of Lake View The
case was reported at the station
and Lieut., Lloyd and six officers began i'm
mediate search, but up to late hour had not
captured the murderer.

Interment Of Dukes.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, June 1S-A few persons
left here for the Struble residence, in German
township, to attend the funeral of Dukes,
among them the sheriff, two of the county
commissioners and clerk The Rev. Mulhol-
land was invited to assist in conducting the
funeral He left for the purpose. One of the
livery men refused to hire conveyances to
any who wished to 60 out of mere curiosity.
If they had to 60 on business he would let
them have teams, but so bitter was his feel
ing against Dukes that he wanted as few of
his turnouts to go as possible, The funeral
service was short but affecting, the
Rev. Drs, Bailey and Mulholland officiating.
The latter said it was not his place to Judge
Dukes, who was now before the bar of God.
No reference was made to the narrowing
events with which deceased's name has been
SO closely associated The procession from
the StIuhle residence to the Church Hill
cemetery was composed of ninety-rwo
vehicles. There were no services at the grave
except the customary dust to DUST and
''ashes to ashes" The pail bearers were DIR.

DEMOCRATIC LAMPS.
And How the Ohio Political Situation
rs Seen by Them---A Gloomy Out
look for the Republicans.

CLEVELAND, o.. June 1s-There has long
been a political tradition in Ohio, which
says: ''As goes Cuyahoga, so goes the state"
The results of many fierce fights have borne
this out, and if it is as good as ever to-day,
Ohio will certainly go Democratic in this
falls campaign. No hope for any other re-
suit exists here. The Germans are still in
the Democratic camp, and nothing will drive
them out of it this year. They generally ~
gard the gyrations of the legislature as re-
pentant legislation, and, looking thus, unani-
mously seem to say: go on with the punish
ment." All of which is certainly against any
chance of Republican success. The Ger
man Independent Club, who really lead the
voters of their nationality in this county,
have declared Tor Hoadly, or, he out of
the race, for another Democrat This crowd
is led by ex-Lieut. Gov Mueller and his
newspaper The Waechter Am Erie.
None know the way the cards are being
dealt better than the Republican leaders. A
good fight will be made, the best elements of
the party be brought out as candidates and
workers, and all steps necessary to win taken,
but no victory will come. The party en-
thusiasm, so strong in the old Republican

been turned over to Che Democracy. 1t is
hard to get bakers dozen of Republicans to-
gether, and nothing like good vote will be
polled. Judge Foraker is not known here,
and his name creates no enthusiasm. The
Hon. W. G. Rose, the candidate for Lieuten-
ant-Governor,i is popular in Cuyahoga county.
Cleveland is his home, and he is known as a
level headed, fine fellow. But he himself has
no hope of victory, and cannot bring out the
vote. On the other hand, if Judge Hoadly
secures the Democratic northumberland
everything looks as if he would-his name
will create enthusiasm here, the city of his
birth and boyhood The political miracle
necessary for Republican victory does not
seem probable

of G. C. Stese, at 57S North Wells street. Nc
Guire followed her, and said that if she
would not marry him he would kill her and
himself.
Mcclure Then attacked her with a razor.
Her screams attracted Mr.. and A1rs. Stese,
who were at their supper in rear apartment
They discovered Mcclure bending over the
PROSTATE form Of Mrs Little, attempting to
cut her throat. She was struggling and
pleading piteously. Mr.. Stese caught the
man by the arms and drew him away from
her. She then made an effort to escape into
the rear room Mcclure released himself
and followed her, catching her as she was
about to leave the room. He dragged her to the
front door and deliberately drew his razor
across her throat, severing the carotid artery
and jugular vein. She fell to the sidewalk.
Mcclure threw himself on the ground by her
side and cut his own threat, infiicting q
wound scme three inches long on the left side
of the H. Mrs. Little managed to gain her
feet and walk to saloon over her laundry.
She opened the door and fell on the floor, ex-
claiming: "My God, can't somebody help
mel" A doctor was called, but she died in a
few minutes. Her body was conveyed to the
morgue.
Mcclure was arrested and sent to the Alex
ian Brothers hospital. His wounds are seri-
Gus but not fatal

The Raging Floods.

ST. LOUIS, June 1S.-Advices from western
Missouri and Kansas say the heavy rains Of
the past few days have raised nearly all the
rivers and small streams in that section, and
the indications are for unusually high water
IN the Missouri river The town of Corning,
forty miles north of ST. Joseph, on the Kan
sas City, st. Joe & Council Bluffs railroad,
and also on the Missouri river, is inundated
and several houses entirely swept away
About four miles of the railroad is under
water. All the roads in western and
Central Missouri, except the Missouri Pacific,
are badly washed and trains are generally
abandoned. 1t looks as though serious trou-
Bile not only to the railroads, but to all the
river towns and bottom-land farms, is to re
suit from the present OF threatened condition
of the rivers.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 1S.-The Mis-
souri, river is rising rapidly at the village OF
Harlem. The inhabitants are moving out to
day. The present high water is due to local
rains. and river'men think it will run out be-
fore the June rise appears.

idea already of Arctic dangers. and the
fact that II great amount of needless
anxiety about Gen Crook has been lately
wasted, will hardly divert attention from
the tact that Lieut.. Greeley's rescuers are
undertaking perilous task The Proieus
will have the rough work to do. as the
Yantic will remain at Littleton island, at
the foot of Kennedys channel, 70 await
there the return of her consort. Lieut.
Greeley's party is not IN very enviable
position. at best If they are of as good
stuff as the Jeanette crew, we believe
they will come out alive whether the
PrOteus makes her way through the ice
pack or not. And if they are once more
landed safe in the United States, it would
be just as well, perhaps, to call a halt for
time in the matter of polar expeditions.

PEERING INTO THE ARCTIC.

The United States steam corvette Yam
tic, which sailed from New York last
Wednesday, seems to have gone upon a
very dubious Grand She is to act as
convoy to the steam whaler Proteus,
which is to do the heavy work of the
Greeley relief expedition If one might
judge from the dark and Omin Gus hints
that have been published in the New
York papers for some days past, the
members OF the little expedition do not
go with any enthusiasm. 1t has rarely
happened that the public has been fav-
ored with as many particulars about any
fragment of the American navy as about
the Yantic and her outfit. Her COM
mander is reported as having said some
time ago that she was not of proper
build to encounter ice; that she was
bound to strike ice if she went the course
laid out for her; that he didn't see what
good she could do, nor why she was to
be sent along at all. Just before starting
he is reported croaking about her being
loaded six inches too deep. Evidently he
is not greatly overjoyed to undertake &
cruise up the west coast of Greenland
Then among the enlisted crew there have
been various assertions, and a guard Of
marines brought in one man for whose ar
rival the vessels departure had to be de.
layed. About the time the Yantic started
word came that Sergeant George W. Wall
who bad gone ahead to St. John, N. F.
IN charge of stores, has injured his arm 81
badly that it would be necessary for hin
to stay on dry land All these little eyi-
dences of reluctance to go may not hav,
any deep significance, or they NAV b,
published to give the public an exalte,
idea OF the dangers of the service. In an
event they do not augur well for the en-
tsrprise. The public has pretty libers

MURDER IN CHICAGO.
A "DOckwaIlOper" Slashes u Woman
to Rcath With n Razor and then
Tries Its Edge on Himself.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Thomas Mcclure,
1mgshoreman, murdered Mrs. Mary Little
at 51S North Wells street. and then attempted
self-lestruction by cutting his throat. She
lived at 5i2 North Wells street, and had
charge of laundry in the basement of the
building north of her residence. Her husband
died some eight months ago. She has repre-
sented herself to be the wife of Mcclure as
well as of Frank Linsden, with whom she was
living at the time Of her death
Mcclure met her in the afternoon while she
was out walking He attempted to effect a
reconciliation, and asked her to marry him.
Mrs. Little refused, and said her fondness for
Lins,len would prevent her from thinking of
anyone else. The interview was ended by
Mrs. Little going into a house to get rid of
him. Mcclure was again seen about the To-
cality at S o'clock in the evening. At that
time he was in the company of Mrs Little
and for the second time she attempted to es-
cape from him by going into the candy store

burg, where, instead of going into public
as it was hoped he would, he appears to
have resumed the life of seclusiOn he led
previous to his coronation. 1t is evident
that he does not flatter himself that his
mild reforms will please anybody On
the contrary he possibly feels that his
refusal to go further will intensity the
hostility of the nihiiists and render his life
more unsafe than ever.

FRIGHT EXPLAINS.

LONDON, June 1S-Sir Stafford Northcote,
the Conservative leader, this afternoon in the
commons, called attention to John Bright's
speech, at Birmingham, last Thursday. He
declared Bright's statement that the ConSer
yatives were in alliance with the Irish rebels
in thwarting the house from doing its work
was unfOunded, and moved that the utter
ances of Bright be declared a breach of privi-
lege
MIR Bright, who was much cheered on ris-
ing, responded. He said he had a right to
speak with great freedom to his constituency
The term alliance" he said was capable of
n meaning he did not intend, but it was the
one that first occurred to him Perhaps he
ought to have been more careful, but affirmed
that there was combined action between the
Conservatives and the Irish members in
both debate and division to worry and de
stroy the ministry. He was panied to wit
ness the manner of some of the members
of the house who clamored at
the premier Such conduct was a modern
innovation. Mr.. Bright commented on the
existence of societies in America, which were
disloyal to the British crown, and which were
sending funds to similar disloyal societies in
Great Britain. If, he said the Irish members
of parliament would disavow connection with
the disloyal society in America, and declare
their loyalty to the crown, he would with
draw the word rebel, and apologize for hav-
ing used it,
