BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. ga shocking
case of heartlessness and neglect was
brought to light here to-day. Elizabeth
Holiday, aged forty, had been sufferer
from consumption for year past, and on
Monday last she died. After death her
two brothers promised to see that the
body was buried properly, as they were
able to do so. To-day two ladies, friends
of deceased, called at the house and found
the dead body nearly dsvoured by rats.
The face and hands had been eaten
away and the body presented a sickening
spectacle. The remains were lying on the
floor in basement room adjoining the
csIIar. The police authorities were mott
fed, and being convinced that tha woman's
brothers did not intend to provide for
burial, they had the body inferred at the
city's expense. Both brothers have money
in bank. They left the city soon after
their sisters death SO as to escape the
funeral expenses.

BEARDsrowN, ILL.,, Jan. 23.-Monday
evening a shocking accident occurred to
Richard Eddy, co... miner near La
grange, small village!about ten miles
south of this city. Eddy has been hard
drinker for years. After three weeks
spree of unusual severity he was almost
converted into meniac,so that his family,
consisting of a wife and three children
were obliged to desert their home and seek
refuge at the house of neighbor Left
to himself Eddy held high carnival for a
time, and then sank into drunken stupor,
from which he probably never awoke Bs-
tween the hours of II and O'clock the
house caught fire, and before friends could
como to his rescue his body was almost
entirely consumed By the flames. Nothing
but his headless add limbless trunk re-
mained. The family is left in poor Cir
cumstances.
HORRIBLE DOUBLE MURDER.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 23.-Information
was received by the police this evening of
horrible double murder, committed near
the little town of Fenton, Jefferson county,
twenty miles from this city. some time
during last night. Louis Boedecker and his
wife Josephine, occupied two rooms
in log house, on q rented farm, at the
placs named, and, although very poor,
were we'll liked and had many friends
About 8 O'Clock this morning a neighbor
found them both dead IN the house, and
the furniture and floor was smeared with
blood. Boedecker was in bed with his throat
horribly cut and haggled with an axe, Mrs.
Boedecker stretched at full length on
the floor, the back Of her head crushed
with an axe and hex aeck broken. Thelin-
dieations are that the woman escaped
from the house when the attack was made,
and was pursued and struck down on the
road short distance away, and dragged
back to ithe house by the hair of her
head. There is no clue to the murderer,
but the theory is that some unknown per-
son was received as lodger last night,
that he committed the diabolical deed and
then robbed the house and fed. A good
white shirt, badly blood stained, which
did aot belong to Boedecker was found in
the house, and bucket of bloody water,
ia which the murderer had washed his
hands, was standing on the floor. A trunk
in the rear room was broken oIen with
the bloody axe, and wardrobe in tbs
same room had been forced OPEN with the
bloody hands. The scene at the house
was most terrible, asd the affair has pro-
duoed the greatest excitement throughout
the neighborhood. Several mounted po-
licemen frsm this city we're sent to Fenton
| as soon as the news of the horrible event
was received here, to assist the local au-
thorities to search for the murderer, but
no additional advIces have yet been re-
| ceived, and probably will not be to night.
THE AMELIA OLSEN CASE.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The police are in
possession of additional facts as to the
manner in which Amelia Olsen, the young
seamstress, whose dead body was found on
the prairie on the outskirts Of the city
about week ago, met her death. Sus-
picion that great crime was committed
was suspected from the outset, but very
little of definite nature could be stated.
A young man named Thomas Sheehan,
who was suspected of having some con-
nection with the girls death, was the only
arrest made up to yesterday. Late last
night the police had made six additional
arrests. Two Of the men are charged with
the actual murder, but their names are not
disclosed. A hackman, an Italian restau-
rant keeper, woman and three other per-
SONS are all alleged as accessories, and
havesbsen arrested. 1t is reported also that
the police have arrested in Wisconsin
Martin jacobson, a sailor, and the disap-
pointed suitor of Amelia Olsen, who is
supposed to have left the city Immediately
after the tragedy. The post mortem dis
closes that the young girl was repestedly
outraged, and the theory is that she was
induced to enter the restaurant, drugged
and driven out on the prairie in hack,
where she was assaulted and choked to
death owing to the struggles she made to
defend herself.
