Indications Of Murder

NEWMARKET JUNCTION, n. H, Dec.
25.-About week ago a portion of human
scalp with tufts of hair attached were drawn
from Patch pond in Ossisippe by men fish
ing through the ice. The discovery caused
much excitement, which continues un-
abated. Yesterday large amount of
human hair ana portion of scalp, to-
gether with a piece of calico, were fshed
out from under the ice. During the past
week sticks of wood four feet long have
been tished out of the mud. and it is gener-
ally thought they were put there to hold
down the body, which is supposed to be
that of the young lady who left Plummer's
hotel at West Ossisippe mysteriously six
years ago, or possibly that of young ladv
who disappeared from MoultonvilIe wear
ago and never has been heard from. The
HAIR found is from ten to twenty inches
long and compares with that of both of the
missing women. What is thought to be
box or trunk sunk in the mud has been
grappled, but, although fifty men have been
working all day trying to remove it, they
have thus far failed to get it out.

stabbed His Wife.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 25.-To-night Mar
tin Heindal, gasftter, aged 81 years,
called at disreputable house on Custom
House street, where his wife, Ernestine,
aged 20 years, was living. He called her
out and stabbed her several times, inficting
injuries which will probably prove fatal
Heindal is now under arrest. He admits
having intended to kill his wife. He says
that he could not stand her conduct. She
left him three weeks age and has since been
an inmate of disreputable houses. He says
that he and his wife's brother, Jacob Beren,
and her father had determined to kill
her, and as her father was too old to live
out term in the penitentiary, it was better
that young man should do it. Jacob
Beren accompanied Heindal to the house.
1t is said he held his sister while her hus-
band stabbed her. The police have not yet
| arrested him. The girl recognized Helndal
as her assailant, but as yet has made no
charge against her brother. The proprietors
of the house say his visit tonight was. for
the purpose of extOrting money from his
wife, which was refused, hence the attack.

VAN WYCK'S HOBBY.
Remarkable Enthusiasm for Terri

Remarkable Enthusiasm for Terri.
tOrial Government for Indians.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Van
Wyck appears too much in earnest about
his plan for bringing the Indian Territory
under an organized territorial government
like those of other territories. He does
not propose to interfere with the necessary
authority of territorial government. The
reservation system has been fully tried and
proved failure, He doesn't see that the
Indians on reservations are any better than
those who treated with William Penn. 1t
is absurd, he says. to keep millions of acres
of land set apart for the Indians which are
of no use to them as hunting grounds, be-
cause there is no game, and which they do
not cultivate. The impolicy OF the retain
ing of large tracts of unoccupied lands in
the center of the republic which must be
CONSTANTLY PROTECTED
by the army must be apparent, he says, and
the only way to solve the difficulties pre-
sented in the Indian territory is to exercise
the national authority. thereby assuming
it's government, and not by keeping an army
on guard there. The senator proposes that
the lands be divided in severalty and that
so much of the lands as may not be occupied
in that manner shall, by negotiation with
the Indians, become the property Of the
United States, to be thrown open to settle
ment under the homestead law only. Look
ing at the question in its economical aspect,
it would be far less expensive to maintain
territorial government than to preserve the
peace and protect the territory by use of
the army. He does. not anticipate that
there would necessarily be any clashes of
authority between the tribal government
and that in the territory.

AREvOLUTIONARY MOB
Is What Mgr. Fabre Calls the Riel
Street Paraders.

Special to the Globe.
MONTREAL, Can, Dec. 25.-A mande-
ment from Mgr. Fabre was read in all the
Catholic churches here to-day by the clergy,
denouncing in strong terms the demonstra-
tions that took place in this city in connec-
tion with the hanging of Riel. The persons
taking part in the professions through the
streets and burning effigies of public men
were characterized as revolutionary mob,
led on by political demagogues for their
own selfish purpose of raising themselves to
power by the downfall of their opponents.
His lordship stated that he was greatly af-
hicted by the spectacle witnessed in the
city, which he ascribed to the inhammable
articles in the French press. which caused
men to become crazy. His lordship. COM

said it was eXecrable and ought to be con-
demned. The impressions made in most
churches by the reading of the letter from
the pulpit was profound. but in the strictly
French district where the masses of the
element worship, the effect was not pleas
ing. At the conclusion the bishop said an
attempt was made to turn the churches into
political platforms over Riel's body, but it
had failed.

MUELLER IN NO DANGER.
The German Government Not Likely
to Notice His Structures.

to Notice His Structures.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The recent re-
port of Consul General Mueller,
which has caused so much comment, was
not seen by Secretary Bayard until he read
it in the newspapers. He was interested
in it as an item of information and news,
but officially he did not concern himself
about it. 'sMr. Mueller is a very compe-
tent and efficient official" said Gov. Por-
ter, assistant secretary of state. ''Since his
appointment in May last he has answered
very ably and very satisfactorily all the
calls made upon him. There was nothing
unusual in the manner of his report. He
took no unwarranted liberties and violated
no principle of diplomacy. 1t is not only
his right, but his duty to discuss and re-
port everything that may affect the COM
merce of this country, as far as his observa-
tions extend, and he is an observant man,
question the consuls comments will be re-
produced in the newspapers Of Germany,
and when they
APPEAR IN THE NEWSPAPERS
of Frankfort -the-Main it is easy to I'M
derstand that some of the people OF that
city will not be favorably impressed with
tact there may thus be led to turn the cold
shoulder to him, but beyond a social cold
ness the publication cannot operate to his
prejudice. 1t is not understood by govern
ments to be the duty of a consul to eulogize
the government of the country in which he
may be stationed; neither is it his duty to
withhold his free opinions. A German
consul in this country may criticise our pol
itics, tariff OF any of the principles of our
government as severely as he chooses and
this government will not take offense or
seek to suppress him. We may not agree
with his opinions and may not like them,
but we will not deny his right to hold and
express them. 1t is not to be expected that
all the consul reports sent to foreign gov
ernments by agents in this country are
couched in terms of praise and admiration
and unbounded friendship for our interests
and our ways. l have no doubt that some
Of the German consuls in this country in
dulge in criticism as free as that of Mr..
Mueller. The relations between this coun-
try and Germany were never more friendly
than now and it is idle to talk of a rupture
of diplomatic relations because of anything
in Mr.. Mueller's report.

will Sink Shaft.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa. Dec. 25.-After
further discussion and consultation by the
engineers at Nanticoke to-day the company
finally decided to sink anew shaft from the
surface at point directly above where the
bodies of the buried miners are supposed to
be-. This shaft will be about one hundred
and seventy-five feet deep and will take
from four to six weeks to complete, even
with the most rapid work. The excavating
of the blocked gangways from the foot Of
the slope is being steadily carried on day
andn night but it is a very slow process and
months will elapse before the mine is
cleared. Prayers were offered this morning
in every church throughout the Wyoming
valley for the unfortunate men.

A CHEERLEss CHRIsTMAs TREE
Over Hundred Persons Injured in
Festival Panic.

Over a Hundred Persons Injured in
Festival Panic.
CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-A huge christmas
tree bearing all kinds of gifts for the pa
tients and attendants at TIE county
hospital, and lavshly Illuminated with wax
candles, caught fire to-day while hundred
or more people were packed about it. The
tree and its contents blazed so furiously
that the clothing of some twenty persons
caught fire. The flames were soon extin-
guished and no one seriously injured.
The accident is somewhat more serious
than was at first reported, several persons
having been injured in the rush for the
door. Over 300 persons were in the chapel
when the accident occurred. The small
room was densely packed and Santa Claus''
was forcing his way through the crowd to
distribute the gifts. Suddenly wreath of
colored paper caught fire from candle and
almost instantly the entire tree and it's con-
tents were pyramid of flame. The gar
ments of those next to the tree caught fire
and every one rushed to the door in panic.
Before the room was half emptied some of
the crowd, with fire extinguisher, subdued
the flames and drenched the clothing which
had caught fire. Some forty persons were
injured, but none fatally.
A later survey of the situation shows that
at least 100 persons were injured, the
greater part receiving bruises by being
trampled on by their panic-stricken neigh
bors. A number of the children patients
had been brought into the chapel Before
they could be removed several suffered from
the smoke and fright, and one or two were
slightly burned. The excitement was in
tense, and but for the GOODNESS of Warden
MeGarigle and some attaches of the hospi-
tai some lives would certainly have been
lost,

Shot by a PatroInaan.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 25.-About $50
this evening Albert Davis, aged 80. wild
over with three children. an amateur pugil-
list, was shot by Patrolman A. M. Bowden.
Davis and some comrades were in Becker's
saloon on Monroe avenue, where they
had quarrel, one of the party
striking Davis in the mouth. Davis
ran and the rest followed him.
At the corner of Farrar and GratiOt avenue
the prtrolman was passing with some ladies,
going to the theater. He told the men to
stop, when they jumped upon him and
knocked him down. The ladies ran away.
Bowden drew revolver and fired three
times. Davis was shot through the left
temple, the bullet lodging in the brain.
Bowden was arrested and lodged in jail.

Almost a Riot.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 25.-During a street
fight at Wellsville, o., to-day John Dennis
was shot in the abdomen and William
Dennis, his brother, in the arm. The
shooting was done by a rough named Rox-
bury, who had been stabbed in the arm
earlier in the day by friend of the Dennis
brothers. A score or more of drunken
men were implicated in the fight, and it
assumed almost the proportions of riot.
Stones and beer kegs were hurled through
windows, and many spectators were Sc
riously injured. Roxbury and one of his
sympathizers named Jesse Barley have
been arrested. William Dennis is seriously
injured and may die. Nearly all the men
engaged in the fight were drunk, and the
trouble was the outgrowth of saloon quar-
rel which occurred last night.
