THE DUKES LAST SPREE
That Killed the Queens Youngest
Son.
Inside Facts About the Duke OF A.
bany's Death-The Prince OF
wales, Alleged Sorrow
Gladstone's Speech.

LONDON, April 7.-Despite the painfully
fulsome and prolix accounts in the papers
about the Duke Of Albany, it is now uni.
versally acknowledged that the Prince is
dead. because he was allowed, for the first
time in his life, to go out alone on spree.
Intoxicated with his unusual freedom and
accustomed to revolt against the idea that
he was an invalid, he lived as fast as he
could, danced furiously, stopped up all
night, drank pretty freely, and so brought
on fatal fit of that epilepsy from which
he suffered all his life. Labouchere In
Truth is the only journalist who tells even
half of the real facts. Society is
laughing in its sleeve over the
ostentatious woe of the Prince of Wales, a
it is notorious that he rather disliked hi
brother The members of the Government
displayed certain inclination to ride on
the tide of popular emotion by proposing
an allowance to the one child of the Duke
already in existence and to a second which
is coming, but they were warned by some
of their supporters that such proposal
would be resisted to the death and the ma
ton would be aroused to real alarm by the
prospect of allowances to the numerous
tribe of the Queens grandchildren.
The chief domestic event of the week is
inc speech OF 0lauSuOne on lnuTSuay niSnU.
The House was struck by an address which
for vigor, fierce passion and magical effect
was never beaten, even by the Premier
himself. The impression is that it was
meant to threaten an immediate dissolu-
ton, if forced to it, on the cry that Par
lament was being destroyed by Tory OBJ
struction. The Tories were certainly re-
duced by it to immediate and abject
surrender. II was intended to keep up
desultory debate on Egypt for many
hours, but Immediately after Glad
stones speech Churchill lefC the House
with ostentation in order 10 avenge AN n.
tack which had been made upon him few
days before by Sir Stafford Northcope. The
other Tories SUNK quietly away, and the
debate collapsed. Gladstone heightened
the effect of his speech 10y straining hi
physical power When he set down he was
CHASTITY pale. He staggered out OF tie
house like worn-out actor, and immedl
ately drove down to his country sanitarium
where he has since remained. The Pre-
mier's speech is To be circulated broadcasi
over the country, and the grand old man
once more bestrides the whole English
world
But the revolution in political feeling
marks a respite only. Either Gordon will
be beaten again in battle, or assassinaied
Or will demand troops, and any one ol
these contingencies will place the Govern
ment in an awkward position.

PRICE ONE CENT.
MYSTERIOUS CRIME.
che NotIveless Murder Of a Lizzie
Child.

UTICA, N. ", April flames Johnson
is weli-known farmer, living in the town
of Faresport. The town is large, wooded,
sparsely populated district in the remote
northwest corner of Oneida County, and
has no railroad facilities. The report just
reached mere that at D. III. on Thursday
Johnson's fifteen-year-old daughter was
found lying insensible on the bed in her
room by her younger brother. The lad ran
and told his father. 1t was supposed the
girl had tainted, and she was carried to u
chair. Then her body was found to be
cold \ bullet wound was found in
her breast, and the post-mortem
disclosed the fact that the bullet had pene-
trated and passed through the heart. The
case is shrouded i'm mystery No one heard
any report of a revolver, and no weapon
was found in the girls chamber. A revolt
YER was found in an adjoining room in the
same position it had been placed by
members of the family the night before.
The general opinion in the town OF Fares
port is that deliberate murder was com
mitted, but no motive for the deed can be
given. The mother has acted strangely for
several years but was never violent. She
says nothing about the tragedy and the
most rational theory seems to be that she
killed her daughter.

The Lucky Discovery Of An India ra
Sherin.

FIR. WAYNE, Ind. April AT O'Clock
in the evening Sheriff Scheitcr discovered
a hole about two feet square cut in the
wall of upper tier cell No. ;, which con-
meets with what is known as the 'bum"
side of the Jail. The work was done by
the notorious wife murderer and jail
breaker Chsrles w. Butler. assisted by VIM.
Doyle, murderer, and three other prisoners
held for larceny.
The wall, filled only with brick and
plaster, was easily cut, the stone and brick
being concealed In mattresses. The cutting
was done with slat taken from an iron
bedstead. After escaping through this
hole, the single iron bars in the window
would have to be sawed, which would have
been an easy task, and the Jail would have
been entirely deserted before morning.
The discovery at the time was very fortu-
nate, as few hours later Butler would
have made ais second escape.
