Infernal Machines Found-A Socialist
 Arrested Who Had Them in Charge,
 LONDON, Nov. 23.-A German Pole named Wolff has been arrested at 8 houseSin Vim cent street, Westminster, having in his pos session two rough internal machines which were all ready for uss. It is believed that he intended to destroy the German embassy, as he has been seen the last few days loiteEing about the embassy building and has been heard to make threats to that effect, which led the police to keep him under surveillance. Wolff was taken to the Bow street station, where he was remanded until Thursday next. When questioned in regard to the possession of the internal machines, he answered in German and said that he was chemist by occupation and declared that the whole affair was plot of 8 Frenchman, fellow lodger, who, to make capital and in revenge for an imaginary wrong, informed tho police of the whereabouts of the machines and concoeted clared that he was innocent of the charge, and asserted in the most positive terms that the Frenchman had informed him on several occasions that he intended to blow up the building occupied by the German embassy, and advised the police to watch the French

 A representative of the Central News had an interview this evening with the wife of Wolff. She said that her husband was led into trouble by police spies and detectives who had promised him large sums of money as his share of the profits of 8 scheme which they had concocted. Her version of the plot is that Wolff was to translate into Ger man certain letters to be sent to the German ambassador and others, copies of which were furnished for thatapurpose. These letters were to be posted in Germany and after a reasonable time had elapsed for their re. ceipt in London Wolff was to blow up the German embassy. The police spies and de. tectives interested were to divert suspicion from Wolf's arrest and convict some other man and obtain the reward which was cer- tain to be offered and which Wolff was to share. His wife says that Wolff is German, but it Is known that he is Swiss. Although he is but twenty-four years of age, he is an expert chemist and holds several medical diplomas. He was for some time associated with the Nihilists and recently visited Rus sia for tue purpose of carrying ont some of their plans.

A Shocking Tragedy An Aged Couple
 Butchered and Their Home Sacked.
 HICKMAN Nov. 23.-Fulton county sends greeting to Gaward in the way of a most hor- rible and bloody tragedy. The bodies of HilIman King, aged eighty, and of his wife Amanda King, aged sixty, were discovered this morning horribly butchered and mangled and their house robbed as supposed of about $2,OOO. When the foul deed was committed no one knows, but it was probably yesterday morning about daylight. The body of Mrs King was first discovered by her son Arthur King. Her throat wasscut from ear to ear, presenting ghastly and sickening sight Her head showed marks of three stunning blows from broken gun which was on the aoor The furniture vas knocked promiscuously over the floor, evidencing struggle between the murderer and Mrs. King. Her body wes lying in the middle of her fam iIy room The body of Mir. King was dis covered at the stable about one hundred yards from she house in the cattle shed GOV cred by lot of shucks. His face had fear full gash over the right eye and his left tenn pie was beaten in. The murderer used both a club and a knife freely. The rats had eaten out Kings left eye and greater portion of his face. The trunk in which King kept his money was chopped in with hatohet and it is supposed at least $2, 900 was stolen, though in the hurry about $2o0 was left. The coroner's jury returned 8 verdict that King and his wife came to their death at the hands of an unknown per son by the use of an axe and club and that the motive was robbery, There seems to be no clue to the perpetrators of this appalling tragedy. Circumstances tend to duplicate Frank Miller, worthless char acter, . clock mender, who has been infest- ing that vicinity for ten days or more. He can be traced every night and day for eight or ten days up to last Wednesday night, when he was seen about dark within few hundred yards of the King resi- dence acting suspiciously. Since that time nothing has been heard of him. A reward of $1 ,0OO for Che capture of the murderer has been offered by the family. The perpe- trator will be lynched if caught and the guilt fixed upon him.

 Gentlemen-In August, 1875, had par alytic stroke which affected the right side of my body. I could not speak for eight days. It was six weeks before I could walk with the aid of 8 cane. For five and one-half years was out of business. In June, 1881, met man who had suffered from partial paralysis and rheumatism for eighteen years. He had not been able to walk more than 8 quarter of mile at time. He had been wearing Wilsonia for ffty-four days and was then able to walk three miles ss well as most men. He advised me to see Prof. Fl. Smith, who had also been cured of paralysis by wearing Wilsonia. Satisfied that it was worth the experiment purchased suit of Wilsonia on the 25th of June. In three months could walk without a cane and have been improving ever since. would not take $50, 900 and be as I was year ago.
 One merchant in this city who, by my rec ommendation, has worn a suit of Wilsonia for eight weeks, is in better health than for ten years past. I also know of case of Ca- tarrh and Rheumatism cured by wearing the Wilsonia. Yours gratefully, F. 0. l..
 There are scores in our city and in the country who have been equally benefited by ''Wilsonia," whose testimonials we have failed to receive, but enough have been ob- tained the past three years to establish the fact that a new Broadway in the realm of Science has been demon strated. Magnetism and Electric ity converted into powerful agents come to the front.
