There are no new developments In the

the Union station in this city yesterday.
The body has been lying at Flannery's
undertaking rooms and during the morn
ing a large number viewed it but no one

ed and almost black, she Is quite sure
that it is her brother. Antanio Sabine,
who viewed the corpse short time
afterwards also recognized 1t as the body
of Ceruso. He stated that he worked
with the deceased on the railroad near
Chicago for year. He was always re-
garded as q peacable man, and was never

A Bad State OF Affairs.

CHICAGO, Nay EARLY this morning
word was received here that the Bride
we'll had been converted into q veritable
bedlam. The Amazon: Hosiery company
employs most of the prisoners at the
BrideWell, working them at knitting
machines and looms and paying 80 cents
per day to the city for the services of
each man. 1t appears that late in the
afternoon $50 prisoners, serving the
Hosiery company, struck for better food.
All quit work together, and were not to
return until the warden had promised
to give them something pslat-
able as well as digestable.
AT meal time the men were threatening,
and but for the prompt action of the
guards might have worked serious havoc
with the machinery if they had not Sc
cured their liberty. After some parleY
ninety of the discontinued convicts went
back to their work. The other sixty
were then sent to their cells, and after
they had been separated all those who
had went out against the last order to
go to work were summarily strung up.
Notwithstanding this, none of the prIs-
ouers confined in the main cell house
slept during the night. All discipline
over them in that quarter was gone, and
they sang and shouted and made night
hIdeous with their protests against their
food and the treatment of the dlscontent-
ed sixty

wEBER's ACCOUNT.


When the train stopped at Hsrrods-
burg he end Davis were asleep upon
their train chests. Both doors OF the
car were opened and they had 40 sus-
pIcion of anything wrong. Just after
the train got into molten Weber was
awakened BY q violent blow at the head.
The force was such as to half stun
him, but staggering to his feet
he saw tall muscular man
struggling with Davis. The messenger
was despatched with blood which was
gushing from q wound in the head and
he also evidently had been struck on the
head with 8 club while asleep. Weber
was too badly hurt to take part IN the
affair, and fell to the floor. The robOer
was a large man, roughly dressed and
had bristling light mustache. This
much Weber noticed as the two men
struggled in each others en-
brace. Davis managed to loosen
his right arm and drew his revolver, but
before he could fire the man Wrenched
the weapon from his grasp, and leveling
1t, quick as lightning pulled the trigger.
The ball struck the messenger in the
head, and ne fell dying to the floor.
When the safe had been riaed the robbers
left the train as 1t slowed up IN answer
to the bell. Search was made as soon as
could be but no trace of the criminal
could be found. The wounded man was
left at BLOOMINGTON.

Prospects OF a Naval Engagement.

NORFOLK, Va, April 30.-The Russian
corvette, Strelok, after leaving this port
Tuesday plight passed out to sea and is
now supposed to be on her way to New
York. Second Secretary Gregor of the
Russian legation arrived here yesterday,
but left at once for Washington when he
learned that the Strelok had departed.
The British ship, Garnet, is still at Old
Point Comfort, but it is thought she
will follow the Strelok at
once. The Russian ship seems
to have given her antagonist the slip.
The Garnet was close to the Strelok until
Monday, when she dropped down to
Fortress Monroe. Under the international
laws the Garnet cannot follow under
twenty four hours if her purpose is to
engage the Strelok. The Strelok has a
speed of fifteen knots against the Gar
nets thirteen knots and her guns are of
much longer range than are those of the
Garnet. If the Garnet should attempt
to engage her she would first have
to find the Strelok outside
and then Strelok might keep Just out
side of the range of her antagonist and
vet with her superior guns play upon
the Garnet. This gives the Russian
ship big advantage, and although she
is q smaller ship would prove tormidR-
BILE antagonist to the representative of
the British lion.
ONWARD BOUND.
NEW York, April 30-The Russian
man-of-war, Strelok, which left Norfolk
yesterday, passed Sandy Hook onward
bound st 8 80 O'Clock this morning.
sTRELoK.
The arrival of tho Russian man-of
war Strelok In North River has caused
great deal of speculation as to ltsSob-
ject. A prominent shipping man says
that it is more than probable that the
Strelok has received secret orders that
war has been or will be declared
within few days and has
been ordered to pick up transatlantic
steamers. It is certain that the enter
prise Is by no means so difficult as 1t
looks and that any one OF the great ferry
steamers between New York and Liver
pool is lIabled. to be surprised. The
Strelok has q great spread Of canvass
with double top sail and
might by devices known to
seamen easily make her waTlike
character and pass for an innocent mer-
chairman. A reversed ensign, the signal
of distress, would enable her to sp-
proach Cunarder, q Guion, a National
line or any of the splendid vessels that
enter and leave this port almost daily.
