CHARGED WITH MURDER.

A Young Society Man of Richmond, Vir-
ginia Charged With the Murder of Fam
ny NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Point to
Him as the Guilty Party.
RICHMOND, VA, March 20.-The police
were busy all day yesterday working up
clews and fitting together the links in the
chain of circumstances surrounding the
death of Miss Fanny Lillian Madison, the
pretty young girl whose dead body was
found in the reservoir last Saturday. The
latest development was the arrest of Mr..
T. j. Cluverius, Young lawyer of King
& Queen County, charged with the MUIR
der of the lady. The officers arrived here
last evening with their prisoner. They ar
rested him at the house of Mrs. Samuel
Tunstall, near Little Plymouth, in that
county.
He was at the supper table when the
officers were announced. He admitted
that he knew of the discovery of the dead
body of Miss Madison in this city. He
had just obtained the Richmond papers
with that information. He also admits
he was in Richmond on Friday last, the
day on which the unhappy girl must have
come to her death. Cluverius denies that
he saw her during his stay here, or that
he had any communication with the girl,
says, account for every hour of his stay
here, from the time of his arrival on
Thursday until his departure for his home
on Saturday morning.
Mr.. Cluverius Is about twenty-three
years old, and is well connected. His
family is possessed of plenty of means,
and will spare no expense to defend him.
All who know him say that the accused is
man of irreprOachable character and
innn hi IF
less such a cold-blooded murder as he
stands charged with.
When arrested by the police young Gu
verins had with him package containing
fifteen or twenty letters, most of which
We're from ladies. 1t appears from these
missives that Cluverius is quite favorite
with the fair sex. There are some very
spicy letters in the batch, SO the police
say.
The bitter cold weather did not deter
crowds from visiting the reservoir and
looking in the basin where the pretty girl
met her death The keeper has been
compelled to lock the gates
The betrayed girls career, up to this
one slip, which caused her sad end.
has been pro nounced unblemished by
all who knew her. She was member
of the Baptist Church, as is also Thos.
j. Cluverius, the young man charged
with her murder.
The poor girl was buried yesterday.
To avoid increasing the excitement there
was no ceremony, either at the church or
the grave. Her remains were followed by
her aged father and nearest relatives, who
wept bitterly when the body was con-
signed to lakewood Cemetery
Citizens are talking of getting up
purse to employ additional counsel to
aid the Commemorative attorney in fer
as the crime is considered q reflection
upon the city.

WAITING AND WATCHING,

General Grants Condition-AnxiouslyA Await
ing the Arrival of His Daughter Nellie
The Gravity of the Case Indicated by the
Frequent Consultations of Physicians.
New YORK, March 1S.-General Grant
had more sleep last night than he has en-
joyed in three days. He awoke this
morning refreshed, but still feeble. All
the sleep he got would probably not ag-
gregate four hours, but that amount
proved great restorer. The disease has
not yet brought any severe pain. II 1t
were located anywhere else the physicians
could battle it to much better advantage.
The trouble, however, is in the obstruc-
ton to his swallowing food, and the dam
ger of reiectin it alter he has succeeded
in getting it beyond the danger point.
The General is almost impatient in his
expectation of the arrival of his daughter,
Mrs. Sartoris. 1t is expected that she
will arrive some time this afternoon.
DR.. Douglass still expresses the opinion
that there is no danger of a sudden ter
mination of the Generals Illness.
NEW YORK, March 19.-Dr. Shrady
called in the afternoon for his mid-week
consultation. He agreed with DR.. Doug
las that there was an apparent arrest of
say that such u condition was likely to
last. The throat looked as it had since
the subsistence of the recent indamma-
ton. General Grant spent the evening in
his library with his friends. He
expressed himself as feeling COM
Portable. DR.. Douglas called at
bed time. General Grant was asleep be-
fore the doctor left the house, artificial
means being taken again for that pur-
pose. The idea in this treatment is to
give him the sleep he requires, almost at
any cost.
Drs. Barker and Douglas will consult
to-day, and should the case seem to be
progressing fairly, there will be no
further consultation until Sunday, but
the necessity of two consultations on
successive days will indicate the gravity
of the situation.
The Baltic, with Mrs. Nellie Sartoris
aboard, was due last night.

A TERRIBLE DISASTER.

Two Hundred Miners Imprisoned in a Mine
BY an Explosion of Fire Damp-Thirty
Rescued Alive-Ninety Eight Bodies Re-
covered.
BERLIN, March l8.-A terrible disaster
occurred in Il mining village near Saar-
brucken this morning by which it is be-
lieved 200 miners lost their lives. An
explosion occurred in one OF the large
miDeS. The miners had hardly began
their DAVIS work when the fire damp be-
came ignited and exploded, causing a
heavy cave in around the shaft and
entrance to the mine. Over two hundred
men are known to have been in the mine
at the time. All efforts to reach them
thus far have been unsuccessful. 1t is
feared that all have been either crushed
to death or asphyXiated.
The scenes in and around the mine are
heartrending. The wives, mothers and
children of the imprisoned men tiocked
around the entrance, sobbing and impior-
ing God to help them and spare the lives
of their dear ones entombed below.
BERLIN, March l9.-Ninety-two bodies
have thus far been taken out of the mine
near Campansen, in which an explosion
occurred yesterday morning. These
were all found in or near the main shaft.
LII Is supposed IuaI iHiuy otH~Io VIII NC
found in the less accessible part of the
mine. The explosion DESTROYED the air
shaftlng, thus making the survival of any
of the miners almost impossible.
BERLIN, March 19.-The latest reports
state that ninety-eight bodies have been
recovered from the wrecked mine. There
are still l02 men and boys unaccounted
for. The work of exploration is being
pushed as actively as possible, but it is
almost certain that all who are now in
the mine must be dead, as the main shaft
and the air apparatus were destroyed by
the explosion.
LATER.
Thirty of the persons in the mine were
saved.
