THERESA STuRLA,
Much Interest Manifested I'm Her as

Much Interest ManifeSted I'm Her as
Her Daysi In Prison Grow Less.
JOLIET, III, November pa great deal
OF interest is being manifested over the
prospective release of Theresa Sturls, alias
Madeline Stiles, from the penitentiary. Her
term does not expire until Friday morn
ing, but as it has been the custom to release
conyicts on a holiday whose term would ex
pire on the day following it is barely posi-.
bic that Sturla will be discharged in time
20 take the six o'clock train for Chicago
this evening. This will surely occur
in her case should any of her relatives ap-
ply to the Warden for her release.
Newspaper men from both Chicago and
81. Louis made application to Major Nc
C!Oughry to-day for interviews with the
prisoner, but he has not allowed any one
10 see her, nor will he do so until she is
discharged. A well-dressed young man
put in sn appearance at noon and asked to
st Sturla. He gave his name as f.. NJ
Smith, and said that Mrs. Harvey, Of Chi
cago, with whom Charley Stiles and Sturla
had boarded during their palmy days, had
sent him down 10 see Theresa and to COM
plete certain arrangements ot business
nature with her. He was politely requested
TO call ON FIIuay morning, Nnen Ae NOHtu
arrange his interview With Sturla after
she had passed from the prison door.
Another Chicago party, who is in the
CITY, said that Carrie Watson, who IS the
notorious bagnio-keeper with whom Sturla
once resided, was making preparations to
receive Sturla tomorrow night, and that
she would give Theresa finer reception
than Emory Storrs had rendered to Lord
Coieridge. An item of fifty cases OF cham.
psgne was mentioned as adorning the bill
of fare for the occasion.

MURDER AND THEN SUICIDE.
The Carefully Planned Deed of Tilted
Lover I'm Chicago.

CHICAGO, November 29.-Fritz Wormley,
butcher at Swift's packing. house at the
stockyards, shot Emma Lsfebra tonight
and then killed himself. Wormley hsd
long been an admirer of his victim, and
ccrresponded with her while he was in
Texas. During his absence she Vas told
that Wormley was g married man and had
a wife and family in San Francisco. Be-
ieving this story, Emma discarded Worm
ley and accepted the attentions of Fred
Schultz, and their marriage was to be
solemnized next week. Two months ago
Wormley returned from Texas and re-
doubled his attentions, but Emma would
not accept them. Wormley repeatedly
threatened Schultz, but never yet spoke
harshly of Emma.
Tonight as she was preparing supper,
Wormley entered the kitchen and talked
and again if she would not marry him, to
which she made decided answer in the
negative. She turned her back to him to
take something from the stove, when
Wormley drew an English bulldog re-
volver, forty eight caliber, and placing the
muzzle close 10 her head fred. She ex-
pired Immediately, without a grosn.
Wormley stepped back, put the revolver to
his left ear, pressed the trigger and fell
dead beside his victim.
Wormley had carefully planned the
whole affair. He went from his work about
II o'clock in the morning to his room and
dressed himself in his best clothes. He
visited several saloons, but did not drink
except at one place. Just before entering
the house where his beloved worked he
tried the revolver by firing it into the
ground.

INCIDENTS OF HIS LAST HOURS
The News, though Not Unexpected, Falls

SctrOwing Family and Wide
Circle Of Friends.
Special 10 TIE Register.

PARKERsBURs, November 29.-Ex Govern
or William E. Stevenson died at his home
IN this city at half past one to day. Last
night he rested fairly well, but the fatal
death rattle warned the devoted watchers
by his bedside that the end was drawing
very near. Throughout his entire sickness
the Governor showed the utmost vitality.
His suffsrings were terrible, but he bore
them always without complaint. He was
well aware of his condition, but having
made all the final arrangements for the
change that sooner or later comes to all, he
viewed the near approach of death
without fear and without COM
plant. His mind remained bright
and his intellect clear until the last,
and in his last moments the beauty and
grandeur OF his moral character shone out
an example and beacon light to all who
shall come after him.
Here, where he was best known, and
where his daily life and character were
known to all men, the profound and sin.
cere expressions of grief at his death bear
testimony to the fact that he was a true
Christian, noble man and an uufailiag
friend. The arrangements for the funeral
will be announced in due time.

Randall Surely the Win

WASHINGTON, November pa large
number OF arrivals Of Democratic members
to-day put more animation into the Speak
ership contest than has at any time hereto
fore been exhibited. AS stated last night,
the race is apparently narrowed down to
Randall and Carlisle. The Carlisle men
continue to claim that they are not afraid
Of the result. They assume an air of con-
tidence which does not impress the disin-
terested listener that
They are All sincere.
There were lareeI gatherings around the
several headquarters of the candidates to.
day than there has been since the contest
began, and in consequence there was more
interest exhibited.

The YANKEE PoRXER ABROAD.
Eject of The Removal OF the French
Embargo on the Importation oI
American Pork.

American Pork.
New YoRK, November 29.-The action OF
the French Government in taking the EN-
bsrco from the in, portation OF American
rork was the subject of discussion on the
hoCr of the Produce Exchange yesterday.
The general feeling was one of satisfaction
that the French were beginning to apPre-
ciate the superiority OF the American hog.
When the news Was first heard on the Ex-
change, on Tuesday, there was an advance
OF fifty cents. Yesterday there was reac-
ten of fifteen cents, but the advance OF
iklrty live cents that remained showed the
filmneSs of the market. The exporters.
packers and slaugh!erers do not expect TO
feel an increase in trade Tor some time, a,
Al houeh the embargo has been abolished,
there will remain Il suspicion OF the quai-
itv If meat for a long time. There was no
evidence Of any speculation on tn EN-
change in either polk or lard, and every
thing Was quiet.
The reintroduction of pork into France
will begin" said one II the prominent eX
porterS TO a reporter, I'm the seaport
towns, and We shall rely on the merchants
Of Sbose places 10 push it into the interior.
The French government was placed under
yr, at pressure, there can be no douet, by
he heavy produce dealers in that country.
and il wss by that means, | am convinced
that il was induced To admit the ankee
no.. We are now awaiting the news that

Diseonfented With the Republican
Party and Starting an Independent
Movement.


Boston, November pa political Or
ganization, to be SHOWN as the Sumner
National Independents, has been started in
Boston in The interests of colored men. In
an address the committee say: 1--WE de-
mand the protection of orr civil or public
rights under the laws; protection of all
citizens, regardless Of color race, national
ity or faith, and, unmindful of the fact
that We have ambitions and aspirations
true of other Americans, the Republican
party has not been consistent and true
towards its colored alley, notwithstanding
he has been its faithful and heroic devotee.
I'VE believe the Democratic party, which
antagonized Us so bitterly from policy, is
beginning to see that il is polite TO change
its course; that It will attract to it q further
representation of the moral sentiment OF
the land, through being just to those who,
though poor and OF the laboring class, are
struggling to command respect. We issue
this appeal to the colored people, with the
hope that others like US will organize and
become a power in the next presidential
campaign and until our rights are recog.
niZed."

Ioyrox, November -. The London

is quite mistake to suppose :hat most
Americans who marry EBglishmen are
,icb. Lady Harcourt has large life in'
come. jointure, but her sister, Mrs. sher
idan, had DO considerable fortune. Mrs.
Arthur Psget will probably some day have
$1,000 year. The son of Lord Augustus
Lotus is married TO the daughter OF
verv rich Philadelphia lady. Lady Hes
keith will marry a very large fortune. Mrs
Edward Balfour probably has GloO,01o'
Lady Vaudeville and Lady Lister ksye as
suredly we're not married for money. On
the other hand, many French aud Germans
have rich American wives. The daughters
of American Irishmen, long resident in
Paris have married French grandees. The
daughters OF Nr. Fisher, q rich dry goods
man, married Italian nooles. Some ladies'
ppmed Lee, the daughters OF New orS
wholesale grocer, have married into the

in fact. the second in command OF the
