BIsMARCX'S BLUSTER.

The German Chancellor Creates storm In
the Reichstag by Bitter Speech on the
Bill to Increase the Duty on Cereals-Pan-
demonium Reigns for Awhile.
BERLIN, February II, - Bismarck's
speech in the Reichstag last night during
the debate on the bill providing for an in
crease of duty on cereals, was one of the
most fiery the Chancellor has INDUCED in
for long time. He roundly denounced
the members, who opposed the measure,
and asserted that their utterances in OPP
position to the bill were either false, dis
torted or exaggerated.
"While these men," said the Chancellor,
"play upon the minds of workmen and
small farmers with false doctrines, dis
seminating their reasonable views and
putting wrong constructions to every
measure introduced for the general well
fare of the people, it is impossible to have
unity or any semblance of accord among
the laboring classes"
Bismarck here, pointing at the Left,
launched forth bitter invectyes at the
members of that section of the RelchStag.
He worked himself into such an excited
SUdle, anu SpOhc VIII SuCu lCclluS IudI IL
was apparent the oman of Iron" was
thoroughly aroused. Raising his voice to
the highest pitch he shouted, with his arm
still stretched in the direction of the
Left: 81 see nothing but mischief in the
tactics of the members of the Left, which
can bode no good, either for their con-
stituents or the country"
This remark caused a sensation. In an
instant several members of the wing thus
accused, were on their feet denouncing
his remarks as monstrous and unwarrant-
ed, adding:
"If we voted for the measure you
would then charge us with having fore
told the people they would not suffer by
this blood tax you seek to impose"
Deafening tumult followed these re-
marks.
Members jumped upon benches and
howled like madmen, and for while
pandemonium prevailed. Order was fin
ally restored, but not until some members
were threatened with expulsion did mat
tiers quiet down so as TO admit of the
transaction of further business.

ANOTHER PILLAR FALLEN.

a Trusted Judge Who Has Passed Bcyont
Human Reach, Proves to Have Been
First Glass Swindler.
NEW YORK, February lS.-The ac-
counts of Judge Henry Voorhis, of Ber-
gen County, New York, who died about
two weeks ago, were found to be in an in
volved condition. He was a man well
known, and had the reputation of being
thoroughly honest and extremely pious.
His financial condition was reputed
sound, and he was custodian OF large
sums of money belonging to his neigh
bors, beside being the executor OF sew
eral estates. 1t has been found that he
made no counts of moneys intrusted
TO his care, aud there is no trace of his
disposition of the funds. Several of his
neighbors deposited money with him for
which they received no acknowledgment,
so thoroughly did they believe in his hon.
esty, and there can be found no evidence
of its whereabouts. He was Treasurer
of the cemetery fund, and for thirty-tive
years Secretary of the Bergen County
Farmers Mutual Insurance Company,
which position he held at the time of his
death TO both of these institutions he
is largely indebted; the Insurance COM
pany being compelled by his deficiencies
to wind up its affairs.
Upon opening his safe his sons were
aston he'd at the absence of papers to
show what disposition had been made of
the funds unaccounted for. The affair
has created profound sensation in
Bergen County. Judge Voorhls' metho-
dical habits and plain manner of living
inspired the confidence of all who knew
him, and his friends can not account
for the absence of memoranda of various
sums intrusted to him.

Eldora special:-A bloody and mysteri-
Gus tragedy was enacted in Buckeye town
ship, this county, four miles south OF Alden,
recently, whereby a young and beautiful
girl was butChered while sleeping in her bed,
and her slayer met death by his W hand.
The latter was George Johnson, a married
man twenty-seven years OF age, and the
victim was his sister-in-law, aged nineteen.
Johnson, with his wife and children, lived
on a rented farm, and to all appearances
was happy and c~Ontended. With them liv-
"a Miss Grace Rand, sister Of Mrs. Johnson,
a cultured and accomplished young lady.
The two ladies retired for the night
in the second story Of the house. Half an
hour later johnson, occupying a bed room
down stairs with a young man in lis
employ, proceeded to the chamber where
MS wife and her sister were sleeping, and
leaning over the bed he kissed her, babe her
good night, n Immediately hurried down
stairs. The actions OF her sister after the
departure OF her husband, caused Mrs.
Johnson to turn her attention toward her,
and she was Mortified to discover that the
girls throat had been cut from ear togear,
In the agOniesl Of death. she rolled from
the bed and lay upOn the floor, with
her night clothes drenched in blood. The
hired man FASTENED to Alden for medi-
cal assistance. When the party entered the
house they found the body OF Miss Rand
lying on the floor beside the bed. Search
was then made for Johnson, and he was
found near the door, sitting on the embank-
ment Of the house with his knees drawn up
to his chin, and arms across his breast. He
was alive, but across his throat was a5gash
which, however, failed to sever the jugular
vein. Doubtless at the moment Johnson.
was kissing his wife he drew the razor across
the throat OF her sleeping sister. Johnson
died without making a statement. 1t is
known that he held his sister-in-law in great
esteem, and violently opposed hermarriage
with a young man OF her choice which was
to take place before long. Some think that
he was infatuated with the young lady and
killed her in an insane fit OF jealousy.

Sons, the famous ship builders, has assign

Cribed by some to the refusal of Secretary
Whitney to accept the dispatch boat Dol
phin constructed by direction OF the United
States government. He first directs the

vides shall be done, and names preferred

the supervision OF his business. His attor-
ney says the contract for the three cruisers
will be carried out.
The Herald's New York special gives the
following as Secretary Whitney = reply tOa
question as to the probable effect OF the
Roach failure upon the government. Sec
rotary Whitney said:
| don't think it will have any effect upon
the government. | am very sorry for Mr..
Roach. / am always sorry when a. man
falls into such difficulties, but / do not see
that the failure can have any considerable
effect upon the government. The govern
ment has one vessel in his ship yard, and
two atfNew York, building, but the amounts
are nearly all paid on them. saw in a
morning paper that Mr.. Roach thinks /
am responsible for the trouble, or at leash
| could give relief, but the government owes
only the amount still due upon the Dol
phin, which would not be enough to put
him upon a sure footing again.

~Cllauncey NJ. Depew, for many years at
torney and now president OF the N. Y. Cen
tralrailroad, said recently: Hei Isl very much
puzzled to account for the continued de-
preston in business. He ~saysthatthe only
way that he can account for it is that cap
ital is in idiot. He says that there is every
condition for favorable investment, much
beyond anything known in the most flush
period since the war. We have, he thinks,
gotten to the end of our failures. The peo-
pie who have not been able to meet their
indebtedness have already goneto thewall.
Those who are in business are in the main
out OF debt. Every sort OF trade is down
to a hard-pan basis. There are now in
the banks OF New York $160,0o0,000 of
unimployed capital. or this, perhaps
$30,000,0 900 is drawing / per cent. The
rest is drawing nothing. There is proba-
bly, twice the amount of this idle capitalin
the outside banks of the country. Why
this capital should be idle is one oil
the mysteries OF finance. There are plenty
Of good investments which are safe and Sc,
cure, yet capital to-day hesitates TO go into
anything, wilhelm our last flush periodthere
was nothing too wild or idioticf for nfoneyto
rush into. He repeated again that capital
is an idiot, and the investors are governed
more by the condition Of the atmosphere
and OF public feeling than they are by their
own Judgment. gg CESS
