The '.theory" of Buddensek's defense
was produced Monday. and a very inter-
esting theory il is. One witness declared
that be had applied Buddensiek with the
best brownstone, and that the walls we're
thicker than usual. Lest it might lie
thought that these massive walls fell in
consequences of the use Of poor mortar,
another witness testified that what has
been commonly called mud in the cellars
of Buddensek's buildings, was really
merchandise sand within the meaning of
the building laws. Another witness swore
to the good quality Of the timbers used
As Buddensiek listened to this testimony,
he must have been conscience stricken at

extravagantly good construction.

poisoner OF Montreul, has been con-
demned to death. Even the proverbially
soft hearted French jury could find no ex-
tenuating circumstances in his case. He

genus. lie had made special study of
poisons, and he first tried his skill on his
own mother. Then he murdered two
wives and n mistress, and tried to poison
a third wife and her mother. He cut up
the bodies OF his victims and burned
them in stove. His crimes were clumsy,
yet for long time he escaped suspicion.
and was only found out at last by an acct
dent, attention being attracted by the
glare that came from his windows, and
which the thick curtains he had drawn
failed to conceal. The poison he employed
WAS arsenic, and had the least scruti-
ny been made into the sudden deaths
which occurred In his family he must have
been detected long before. This trial
shows that in France the official super
vision over deaths is very Inefficient and
that It renders possible crimes which could
hardly DO committed in any part of the
United States. Burial permits must have
been dangerously easy TO obtain at Mon
treuil before Pei could perpetrate so manv
crimes undetected.

their total to 1884, against 1856 Conservatives and
Nationalists. A report, which is believed in the
Liberal clubs, is current, to the effect that Mr.
Gladstone has decided to seize the first chance
to oust the Conservatives. He is said to be
eager for Office, proposing to conclude his public
life with the production of home-rule measure
for Ireland.
Mr.. Bradlaugh proposes not to present him

BURIED IN A SEWER.

CLEVELAND, O.. Dec. 9-At Akron, O., late
this afternoon, sewer, which was being con-
structed, caved in,. burying seven laborers, four
of whom were crushed to death, and three others
were injured so badly that they will probably
die. The cave occurred without moments
warning. The ground, which had been frozen
for two or three days, was softened by a thaw
to-day. Three of the men were standing on
scaffolding, and the four others at the bottom of
the sewer which had been excavated to depth
Of twenty-five feet. Suddenly the timbers began
cracking, and the water soaked earth, for dis
tance of twenty feet on each side of the sewer,

the scaffold. escaped, but all the others
were caught by the mass of timbers,
and earth A great crowd OF people soon as
sembed. The groans of the who were
but partially buried were heartrending. They
called for assistance. but for some time no one
would venture near the hole. Finally large
force of men set TO work with shovels, and
out. They were yet alive, but in terrible agony.
Another hour of digging brought them to a third
man, whose groans had guided the rescuing
party. Near him was found the body of
fourth man. dead; it being apparent, at that
time, that the others were dead. the search was
abandoned for the night. The list of the killed

A "LAMENTABLE COMEDY"

Fight Of Women at Grave-The Widow
and Her Rival Come Into Collision.
Paris Dispatch to London Telegraph.
A most ''lamentable comedy" which casts a
curious light on certain characteristics of French
life, has been recently enacted in one of the sub
urban cemeteries of Paris. On the occasion of
the recent annual visits to the tombs Of the dead
young widow arrived at the monument erected
to the memory of her dead husband, and not
withstanding the notorious unfaithfulness of her
departed spouse which had often been bone of
contention between them in his lifetime she
prepared TO place some fresh flowers and cor
onals on the grave. While engaged in
this meritorlous action she was suddenly
surprised to see a young woman of about her
own age and Of rather progressing appearance,
whom she afterwards discovered to be one of her
playmates of infancy, approach the grave and
also prepare to strew it with winter flowers. The
widow, rising suddenly to the height of the stu
alton, cried out: 20 you were the woman.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo, Dec. GA. M. Berry
and wife came to this place recently, from
Morly, Scott county. They brought with them
two large boxes of household goods, clothing,
etc. Soon after they arrived Berry inquired for
a drayman, said he was bewitched, and that he
was going to take all the goods belonging to
himself and wife out and incinerate them The
services of drayman were secured and the
goods were hauled beyond the city limits, heaped
into pile and set on fire. The goods consisted
of their own clothing mostly and some bedding,
the outfit probably amounting to $50 Pretty
much everything was destroyed. Berry and
wife watched the flames as they consumed the
goods. About dozen persons from town fol-
lowed the trio and watched the cremating
process
Berry is bright, intelligent man, has money
with him, and does not act like an insane man
except on this one subject. He said he had been
bewitched for seventeen years. and he knew the
destruction of all his goods by fire would make
matters all right. Before making the sacrifice
he went to the dry goods store of W. F. Neal &
Co., and purchased 500 suit Of ready made
clothing, and added his old garments to the
flames that consumed his other goods
The wife of this strangely acting man was in
tears much of the time, but insisted that her
husband was not crazy. and that the goods must
be burned to satisfy his desire. There was one
little doll that had been her sisters, that she
said she would like to retain for keepsake, but
as she did not know where it was she would not
look for it.

TURKISH JEWELS.
The Magnificent Treasures So jealousy
Guarded in an Old Seraglio.

The Magnificent Treasures So Jealously
Guarded in an Old Seraglio.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-This morning the Times
prints letter from j. G. Robinson which is of
great interest to Oriental scholars and antigua
rians. It recounts visit paid by the writer to
the old Seraglio in Constantinople, which has
never before been penetrated by European. so
jealously are it's treasures guarded. Among the
extraordinary things described by Mr.. Robinson
is throne made entirely of beaten gold, and
jeweled with thousands Of rubies, pearls and
emeralds. 1t is most magnificent and dazzling
structure both in artistic design and execution.
Among the ancient Turkish armor which Mr..
Robinson examined were number of
scimiters and saddlecoths, encrusted with
splendid jewels, which formed almost the entire
visible surface. There were also gorgeous ex-
amples Of ancient Persian textile fabrics which
were very rich and beautiful. Mr. Robinson
also found there some Chinese scroll work, which
was the only class of production in which artist
ic workmanship was disc ernible. The Sultan's
treasury is deficient in old European biiouterie
and contains none of the choicest art treasures
of Greece and Rome, which the Sultan must
have captured at the storming of Constantine
pie, but which were probably disposed Of as
presents to court favorites and pashas. The la-
dies of the harems, Mr.. Robinson says, revel in
the pomp and magnifcence of the barbaric East
but of the radiance of Greece there is nothing.

What Public Men Having Patronage at Their
Disposal May Expect

What Public Men Having Patronage at Their
Disposal May Expect.
Special to the IndiaIapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Every public man in
Washington life, having patronage at his dis
posal, is certain to find himself attacked by a
gang of black maiers who have designs upon
the public crib. 1t will be remembered that, in
a recent interview with an ex- clerk of the Agri-
cultural Department, certain proprietor of an
obscure paper in this city was shown to have.
drawn pay from the Agricultural Departments
for the services of this clerk which were never
performed. This same newspaper man, or his
associates have frequently attempted to secure
similar soft snaps in the Public Printing
Office. Mr.. Rounds has repeatedly refused
to listen to them. and as result the weekly
issues of that disreputabe sheet are filled with
mud cast at him. Fortunately, the reputation
who allowed buckets of slime to ssbe poured
into his columns in a vain attempt to
besmirch the fair name of Secretary Folger
when he occupied seat in the Cabinet Mr..
Rounds has secured the unqualified approval of
the President and has won the commendati0n
of more than threefourths of the members Of
Congress. Still it is annoying that such scala
wags should be allowed 10 infest the capital,
come down" with places when they knock at
the door. Public men are too prone to allow
such vampires to go unnotIced. A few libel
suits pushed to determined end would go far
towards ridding the city Of the curses which in
fest it to such great extent to-day.

A Singular Combination,

MINNEAPoLIs. Mimi, Dec. 9-An organiza-
tion is being perfected among some of the lead
ing ladies of Minneapolis which shall have for
its object the dealing out of retributive justice
to the sirens of society who inveigle husbands
from the paths of rectitude. The dozen or more
scandals of this character which have developed
lately in well-ordered families-several of which
have been in part given to the public-have act
uated this movement. 1t is the belief oe these
women that there is at present in this city most
vicious class Of their sex, who seek to destroy
only husbands and fathers in prominent families.
just to what extremities their methods will be
carried cannot now be stated. The projectors
OF the new organization hope to elevate public
opinion to such q moral standard that these de-
stroyers of domestic happiness can be expurgat-
ed from society
