GERMANY's SITUATION.
A Message from the Emperor Which Sur
prises the ReichstaS.


BERLIN, April 14.-In the Rechstag the
Minister of Finance read the Imperial mes
sage. The Emperor says he always believed
it his duty to show the same solctude for
the condition of the working classes as dis
slayed by Prussian kings. When the social
ist law was promulgated, the Emperor ex-
pressed a conviction that legislation should
not be restricted to police and penal measures,
but should benefit workingmen. The aboli-
ton of class tax was the first step toward
benefting them. The Emperor is anxious
in regard to the passage of the insurance bill,
as its failure, he thinks would hopelessly de-
stroy any chance of passing the sick poor
bill at the next session. The budget for 1884
and 1885 would, therefore, be now submitted,
to give the next session an opportunity to
consider the social condition of the people,
The German, Austrian and Italian govern
ments are about to consider the unlawful use
of explosives and plots for the destruction of
life and property generally. Italy informed
Germany that henceforth no substance ca
pable of being easily exploded will be con-
veyed over any Italian railway in quantities
weighing over one hundred pounds.
The message was surprise to the Reichs-
tag The Progressive party propose to dis
cuss the issues brought up. The Liberals are
uncertain what attitude to take. The Right
Center on the other hand protest against
any debate thereon.

Attempted Suicide by Shooting of an Evans
vile Woman
EVANSVILLE, April IA sensation was
created this evening by the explosion of
pistol in the second story of the residence of
Mrs. Charles Proll, on Third street. The
first shot attracted considerable attention. A
crowd rushed over to the saloon, which she
and her mother and brother rum Investiga-
ton proved that she was not hurt, but those
on the street heard her in tones of anguish
pleading for something. Search was made
for the pistol, but it could not be found. In
about fifteen minutes another report was
heard, and her brother and Others in the
saloon below ran up STAIRS and discovered
her IN her room, which was dark living
on tho floor, with a shot wound Immediately
below the heart, and her clothing
burned around the bullet hole. She is still
a live, but unconscious. Physicians say she
cannot recover. The ball struck u rib and
took downward course through the cavity
The cause of the rash act is not known, al
though several theories are advanced. She
is woman of extraordinary beauty, but
married man much her senior for home
and money, who died of consumption last
August, leaving her considerable property.
One version has it that family quarrels were
the incentive, while another is that she had
quarre; with a gentleman friend about fif-
teen minutes before the shooting took place
She has been respondent for some DAYS The
lady has borne good reputation, but being
not only goodlooking but only twenty-three
years old, sprightly and attractive, male at
tentions were construed detrimental to her
character. Rumor says her brother shot her,
but this is not substantiated by evidence

TERRE HAUTE, April 15.-Ex-Fire Chief
W. X. Burnett, on Saturday night, in a sa-
loon, attacked and beat James Pierce, trav-
cling salesman for Baker & Alvey, claiming
that Pierce had irsulted his wife. Burnett
being the more powerful man, Pierce was
badly beaten. After the fight Pierce armed
himself and went in pursuit of Burnett.
Finding Burnett in Browns saloon, he inn
mediately opened fire, dischargng five shots.
A medical examination of Burnett disclosed
the fact that one bullet had entered directly
under the arm, nearly in the back; the sur
geon could not reach the bali by probing.
Another bullet grazed and tore the flesh
little lower on the body. The physicians do
not apprehend that the wounds will result
fatally. Burnett's ruffianly conduct in the
city for some time has secured for him the
name of "town bully" and it was only re-
Gently that he was removed from the fire de-
partment for murderous assault on citi-
zen.
