BLAINE AT CHICAGO.
His Strength Eight and Four Years Ag
and His Growing Vote To-day.

and His Growing Vote To-day.
There is no reason to doubt that Blaine
will exhibit greater strength in the next
National Convention, on first ballot, than
he did in Cincinnati in 1876, or in Chicago
in 1880, says the Pittsburg Gazette. The
popular sentiment will be more fully and
freely expressed, and the delegates will
not be hampered by instructions or so
easily swayed by the party leaders.
In 1876 Blaine received 2S5 votes on the
first ballot, the whole number being 754.
and lacked but ninety-three votes Of a
nomination. He gained eleven votes on
the second ballot, and when the seventh
ballot was cast he had 345, or thirty-three
less than majority. He was by all odds
the most popular candidate, and was fair
ly entitled TO the nomination, but his de-
feat was cOmpassed by influences which
it is not necessary to dwell upon now.
On this last ballot he received 140 votes
from the Southern States, and he should
have at least an equal strength from that
section in the next convention.
In 1880 Blaine received 2S4 votes on the
first ballot, or 30 less than were east for
Grant. He maintained his strength with
remarkable steadfastness all through the
subsequent balloting up until the 35th
DallOJ, Wnen Ine Dfeak was made in favor
of Garfield. At no time during that Won
derful contest did Blaine's vote fall below
270, and for the most part it vibrated be-
tween $50 and 2S4. When the last ballot
but one had been reached Garfield jumped
from II to 30, and on the last ballot he
received 399, Blaine having but AZ. Grant
still held his 3O6, so that it was the friends
of Blaine who nominated Garfield.
At Chicago, the States from which
Blaine received his chief support were
California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine.
Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey.
New York and Pennsylvania. He had
no support four years ago in Massaehu-
sets, where he will now have a number
of delegates. In Pennsylvania he had
but twenty-three delegates, but now he will
come pretty near sweeping the State. In
Ohio, where he had but nine votes IN 1880.
he ought to have more than double that
number now, and the same is true of
other sections. In a word, he has lost
none of his old-time prestige and power,
and will undoubtedly lead all other can
didates at the opening of the balloting.
If the South comes up as fully to his sup
port as it did in 1876 he will be the win
ming man.

A BRIDES FATAL SHOT.
a Marriage that Ended in DesertIon and
an Attempt at Self Distinction.

4 Marriage that Ended in DesertIon and
an Attempt at Self Destruction.
Ella E. Klaber, the 17-year-old step
daughter of well known but not wealthy
citizen of Mann's Choice, says Bedford.
Pa, special Of the 4th inst. to the Phila-
delphia Press, attempted her life yester-
day under circumstances replete with
romance. Mas Klaber is a very pretty
brunette, who worked in a mill in Lam
caster, more out of independence than
from necessity. On February she eIoped
with George Ristine, who was in business
in Wilmington, Del. but who lived with
his parents at 1926 North Thirteenth
street, Philadelphia, The pair went to
live in Wilmington, Ristine apparently
making a good deal of money as wringer
and bed-spring manufacturer.
Both wrote home frequently, saying
they were happy enough, and all went
well until, early in March, Ristine failed
in business and took his wife to live with
his parents in Philadelphia. They re-
manned there about three weeks, when
Ristine deserted her.
The bride went home with a broken
heart. She tried to conceal her grief from
her mother and her friends, but they saw
too plainly that the flight of the man she
still loved was more than she could bear.
Yesterday she wrote a note to her mother,
telling her how her disgrace and distress
weighed on her so much that life was a
burden. She gave directions for the dis
posal OF her personal effects and for her
lnterment. Retiring to her room she
placed revolver to her breast and fred.
She had intended that the bullet should
cleaye her heart, but it deyiated and
passed through the left lung. lodging in
her shoulder blade. She will probably
die,

EMPEROR WILLIAM I'LL.

His Daughter-in-Law Unable to Leave
Him to Attend Her Brothers Funeral.
Emperor William is i'll, says a London
cable special to the Philadelphia Times Of
April 4. Every attempt is made to CON
ceal the fact and the official announce
ment declares that he is merely suffering
from indisposiUiOn, produced by a severe
cold. But court circles in Berlin know
better and the aged Kaiser's condition is
by the well-informed regarded with alb
sOlute alarm. This feeling was intensi-
fed to-day by the announcement that
Queen FictOria's eldest daughter Vic
t0ria, wife of the German Crown Prince,
was compelled to assign officially, as her
reason for not undertaking the cOmpara-
lively short journey from Berlin to Lon
don to attend the funeral tomorrow of
her brother, Prince Leopold, the fact that
the state Of her father-in-law's health was
such as to forbid even short absence
from his side at the present time. This
announcement was the first admission of
the seriousness Of the EmperOr's ailment
and is Interpreted as ominOus,
The chronology of Williams recent de-
cline is significant. No stories of i'll
health were circulated about him until
four months ago. Before that he was
prOYerbial for health and endurance, but
for three months past accounts of colds,
hoarseness, ,.indispOsition aud excitability
have been whispered about constantly.
The Emperor, more to make public dis.
play of health than to seek any needed re-
creation, went out in great state last No
vember TO attend the royal hunt at
Etzlingen. He was overcome by fatigue
at the chase and suffered from the ensuing
prOstratiOn until about New Years day.
1t was then announced with considerable
flourish that he was -''lOoking unusually
WE'LL" This announcement was, how
ever. almost Immediately followed by an
official postpOnement Of the imperial
winter hunt, and since then he has re-
Deatedly been confined to his loom,
