The Grounds at Hawarden Invaded by a Mob
of the Premiers Admirers.
LONDON May 30.-The Tories are ieering and
the Liberals are indignant at the tourists and
the public generally who have invaded the
privacy SO much sought after by Mr. Gladstone
in his retreat at Hawarden castle. The evil is
aggravated by Mr.. Gladstone's .wellknown
amiability and his dislike of having the people
kept out Of his beautiful park To-day three
thousand persons, who were enjoying the usual
Saturday half holiday, marched through the
lawn at Hawarden and insisted upon presenting
an address to the Premier. Mrs. Glad
stone appeared in answer to their
repeated calls. announced that her
husband was in poor health and very hoarse,
and hoped that they would excuse him from ap
pearng. This did not satisfy the visitors, who
seemed greatly displeased at the announcement
They continued their demonstration until Mr.
Gladstone seeing that they were determined
upon bringing him out made his appearance
looking pale and worn, and leaning on the arm
of Lord Wolverton. He attempted to put the
crowd off by bowling his acknowledgements, but
failed and in answer to repeated cries of
Speech! Speech!" the Premier hoarsey cried,
II would be very glad to make speech if 1
could, but l am totally unable as you can see
for you rselvss." This seemed to satisfy the in
truders, and after cheering the Premier they
retired.

DRIVEN FROM HOME.
Exciting Sequel to the Burgmuller-H enckell
Wedding at New Iberia, La.

New ORLEANS, La, May 30.-The wedding in
New Iberia, when Miss Burgmuler married Dr.
Emile Henckel who had killed her father
while he was in the act, so she declared, of out
raging her. has continued to excite the people of
Iberia parish ever since the acquittal and mar
riage of Herckell. The Iberia papers denounce
the jury for acquitting Henckell, and limited
very strongly that the girl had perjured herself
and assaulted the memory of her dead father in
order to protect her lover Indignation has been
growing in the minds of the people over the
trial to such an extent that Henckell and his
bride, as we'll as Van Horn, who assisted in the
killing of Burgmuller, were warned to leave
Iberia. This they did hastily yesterday, going
in such hurry that they left all their personal
effects behind, and not too soon for the feeling
was so strong against them that it was very un-
safe for them to remain.

A BRUTAL MURDER.
The Skull of Clerk Crushed with a Pestle
and His Throat Cut from Ear to Ear.

New YORK. May 3l.-John Laurer, day clerk
at Henry Crawford's drug store, in Hudson street,
this city, upon reporting for duty this morning,
found the door unlocked. though closed. Upon
entering the back room he was Mortified to find
with a frghtful cash in the head, and a crushed
skull, The shocked day clerk managed to get
to the street, where he found an officer On re-
turning the men found heavy iron pestle,
covered with blood and hair, on the floor.
The dead mans throat was cut from ear to ear,
and there were ugly wounds on the right cheek
and over the right eye. Suicide had been sug
gested. but an examination OF the wounds and
the discovery, by Mr.. Crawford, who soon
arrived, that $35 or $40. that had been taken in
the store on Saturday was missing, satisfied the
authorities that brutal murder had been COM
mitted. The coroner's examination showed that
The skull was crushed in and the throat cut
directly above the thyroid cartilage, with
various other gashes and fractures. The pestle
which was found fitted well into the depressions
in the skull, and seemed to have been the
weapon with viii CHI the blows were struck. No
sharp-edged instrument that might have been
used to cut the throat could be found nor even
any signs of a struggle The blows on the head
had been dealt from behind, and the throat
cut after the clerk had sunk in his chair The
bed had been prepared for retiring, and the man
was still entirely dressed wiaen found.
As vet the police have no clew. Hands
was unusually popular, and was not known to
haye.an enemy. His domestic relations were of
the happiest; he lived with his wife and two
children at AZ North Moore street, opposite the
building in which the drug store was located.
On Saturday night, about o'clock, his wife
brought his lunch to him, as usual, and left him
in good spirit. When news of the crime was
made known to Mrs. Hands, this morning, she
was spreading cloth over her husbands break
fast, preparatory to taking 1T to him. The poor
woman swooned away when she realized the
awful situation.
Hands had been night clerk since January 49,
when George Augemyer was discharged.
Policeman O'Rielly says he saw Hands in the
store at 1920 this morning. Mrs Hands
stated that she had feared that harm
would come to her husband, ever since
Augemyer was discharged. From her statement
there are said to be reasons for suspecting Auge-
nyer. The police say the murderer must have
been acquainted with the premises. The cellar
ioor was open. and it is thought the villain en-
tered that way. A trap door from the cellar to
ihe store had been opened during the night The

the outlook for the sown wheat this year is the
worst in ter years, and it may now be set down
as positive that, under the most favorable con-

is to fall considerably under the short crop of

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The Capitol today
has this item: "Bayless W. Hanna has not been
transferred from Persia to the Argentine Re-
public, despite the announcement to that effect.
In fact, it is understood that he will not be COM
missioned to either place until after certain rep
reservations which have been made to the Presi-
dent respecting him shall have been investigated.
1t is reported that the basis of the charge against
Hanna is an affidavit of the postmaster at Craw-
louisville, Ind. The affidavit is said to charge
that the affiant purchased newspaper owned
by Hanna, and that he paid, in addition to its
value, $1,000 for which Hanna was to use his
influence with the administration to prevent the
removal of the postmaster. The report further
states that the affidavit was forwarded to the
Postmaster general and by him transmitted to
the Department of State, and that it is now in
the hands of the President
