A Fatal Encounter with Burglar

A Fatal Encounter With Burglars.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 81. Albert Pfeifer had
desperate encounter with burglars Sunday
morning and will probably die from the eff
fects of the wounds received. Two masked
men entered his house at about4 o'clock and
one of them proceeded to rife the bedroom,
while his partner stood in the hall with a
light. Mr. Pfeifer awoke, and seeing the
robber at work, sprang upon him. The man
in the hall put out the light and there was
fierce struggle in the dark, resulting in the
burglar getting the advantage. Pfeifer was
badly beaten about the head and thrust out
ill the hall by his antagonist, with the
words, '.Do him up, JIM" The fellow in
the hall then drove knife three times into
Pfeifer's back and the pair decamped.
Pfeifer called loudly for help. but when help
came he had tainted from loss of blood. He
was revived and told his story, exhibiting at
the same time a sealskin cap. which he had
snatched from the robber. He insisted that
the burglar had cut himself in the hand. To
substantiate this trail of blood was found
along the hall, out to the pavement and into
another house. Here stains of blood were
found on chair and On bureau where a
quantity of jewelry had been stolen. The
thieves have not been captured. Pfeifer's
wounds are mortal.

The Long Lost Found.

Speclal 10 IHe UloDe
CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 3I.-Mr. Charles
Whitehead. United States pension agent
hele, is happy to-day over the recovery of
his 9-year-old boy, who was stolen from him
in California two years ago and whom he
never expected to see again. At that time
Mr.. Whitehead was city editor of the San
Francisco Chronicle, when his wife sud-
denly left him, taking 5000 of his money
and the two children a boy and girl. The
bereaved parent made all possible efforts
to recover the children, but could
find nothing beyond the fact that
the wife had come to Toledo. He gave up
his place, engaged detectives and devoted
himself to the search without effect sulti-
mately settling down here IN despair.
Finally he heard of the girl in Toledo con-
vent and hopes to get her by Christmas.
On Saturday he was informed that
boy bearing his name was at
the Soldiers and Sailors Or
phans' home at Xenia. Investigation
showed it to be his son and the father re-
ceived him to-day. The unnatural mother,
with deviiish cunning, had obtained his
entrance INTO the home by fraud, placed
the girl in the convent. and went back to
California, hoping thus forever to keep the
children from their father by separating
herself from all connection with them, not
knowing that she herself was watched.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The general prin-
ciples of Mr.. Gladstone's bill have been
communicated to the leading men in

poses. etc. The imperial government will
hold all forts, garrisons. barracks and i'm
periaI buildings. There will be a ma
tfonal police and no other police organi-
zation. The whole of the sheriff's officers,
baiIiffs and personnel of the courts will be
part of the imperial officers. The local
legislature will enact no law interfering

dom. No statute can take effect

telegraphs, rivers and highways come under
the control of the new legislature, but

the crown and imperial officials will
represent the sovereign authority.

dealing with the national debt, the adjust
ment of Ireland's share of imperial liabiIi-

Childers ON Home Rule.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-An interview was
had to-day with Rt. Hon. Hugh Childers,
chancellor of the exchequer under Mr..
Gladstones administration, on the subject
of Irish home rule. The ex-minister said
that his views on the subject had under
gone no change. He thought that if home
rule were granted to Ireland rigid line
should between strictly imperial matters
which the imperial parliament alone should
deal with, and measures relating to the Or
dinary administration OF justice, internal
trade, railroads, public works, education
and the relief of the poor, all of which
questions could be better dealt with by the
local government. Mr.. Childers said he
was generally disposed to meet in gener-
Gus spirit the request of Ireland for local
self-government. He thought that parlia-
ment might require even in the regulation
of purely Irish matters the maintenance Of
religious liberty, and strict observance of
contracts and that the rights of property
be as much protected as under the limited
states constitution from infringement by the
individual state.
The colleagues of Mr.. Farrell, have re-
ceived information from their leader that he
will oppose all schemes affecting Ireland
which do not allow the Irish to control
their own police

Opposed to Home Rule.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-Mr. Joseph Cowen.
Radical reformer and member of parlia-
ment. has issued manifesto to his constit-
uents respecting home rule for Ireland.
Mr.. Cowen was the chief one of the excep-
tions made by Mr.. Parnell in his manifesto
instructing Nationalist not to vote for Lib
eral or Radical candidates. Mr.. Cower
says: sit is impossible for England to
consent to protecting tariffs for Ireland; the
confscatlon of landlords in Ireland, OF to
allow Irish members to legislate in the
home affairs of England in addition to hav-
ing their own parliament. With these eX-
ceptions l approve of home rule for Ireland,
paper guarantees for the representation OF
minorities; the equitable partition Of all
imperial charges, and the unity of the en-
pire in my opinion are useless. The best
security against disruption of the union is
the mutual interests existing between Eng
land and Ireland"

HURON, Oak, Dec. 21.-N. Z. Reed is a
Huron attorney and leader of the choir in
the Baptist church. Since the coming of
the present pastor, Rev. j. W. Davis, who
came from Buda, ILL.,. he has
given music lessons to Davis daughter,
who was also a member of the choir.
Tonight Davis publishes a card in the
Huron Times. saying, 81 feel it my duty to
make known the facts that my daughter
may be defended in society and that the
wretched man who attempted her ruin
may appear in his true light.
Ever since my arrival i'll Huron,
Reed has affected a growing Christian
experience, for the development of which
he has sought my counsel and help. In
this way he has kept me affectionately and
while his generous friendship in providing
comfort in our home has been pledge Of
his sincerity. Just as fast as he could do
so, with cunning and advantage, he has
sought to secure the confidence and
AFFECTIONS OF MY DAUGHTER,
and blinded both her and her parents to his
trne purpose by constantly increasing re-
ligious ardOr. This game eliminated and
revealed its real object on last Thursday
night in a determined effort to gain
her consent to elope with him.
He was at once dismissed from
the house forever The affair has
made great excitement here. where Reed
has lived five years. He has wife and
son - years old. The young lady is one of
the most highly respected in the city, and
sympathy is entirely with Miss Davis.
What makes the matter still worse is the
fact that Reed played his game so cunningly
and so perfectly that he was received as
a member Of the Baptist church OF which
Davis is pastor, three weeks ago and was
baptized by Davis the Sunday night before
the Thursday night that he tried to induce
the daughter to elope with him. 1t is
thought the case cannot be reached by law.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Dec, 21.-Decidedly the
feature of the day in the senate was a
carefullv-prepared attack by prominent
Democrat senator on the Democratic ad-
ministratian Senator Beck read his speech
from printed slips, and he attacked the
Democratic administration financial policy
at every point, its failure to call for
bonds. its accumulation of more than $780,
900, 900 of surplus. its opposition to silver
coinage, and from these down to all the
minor matters of the Manning regime.
Nearly every Democratic senator was III MS
seat listening intently, and when
Mr.. Beck got through many OF his col
leagues congratulated him. Some OF the
Republican senators sat on the Democratic
side to be near Mr.. Beck. Senator Morrill,
was clever enough to make good use OF the
incident politically. He expressed
TIRE SURPRISE OF THE SENATOR'S
of his side at hearing a Democratic senator
denounce a Democratic secretary of the
treasury as little better than a thief,
and Democratic president and
secretary of the treasury as con-
spirators against the public welfare. But
as no Republican senator was ready at that
moment to come to the defense of the ad-
ministration, he moved the senate
90 into executive session. Last
March Senator Beck become angry
at the course of the administration
regarding appointments, but if that fact
was the occasion Of this speech it certainly
was not the inspiration of the sentiments
therein contained, for Mr.. Beck only said
to-day what he has been saying for years, that
He now has the bitterness of seeing an ad-
ministration of his own party pursuing to
even greater extent the financial policies
for which he has year after year been ham
mering the Republicans.
