Was Il His wife He Killed? Engaged to

PITTsBURG, Pa, June ia personal
friend of Winfield B. Thompson, the prin'
eipal in yesterdays tragedy at the Sturs
svant House, New York, has just returned
to the city. BE says he has been in Thomp'
sons company on an average of three
times week. The last time was Monday
afternoon, when be appeared to be in the

toned being married, and il has been cur.
rently reported and taken tor granted
that he was engaged to be
married to ithe'O. adopted
daughter of Phillip Armour. the well known
Chicago pork packer. 1t is very safe TO
presume that he was not married He
was very regular in his habits and very
leveLheaded. The theory advanced that
he had married clsndesnnely and feared to
meet his father, (Who will arrive in New
York to morrow with his daughter, intend
ing to sail for Europe), may be true, bat ne
was not the man to weaken or commit an
act such as he did through fear OF any
body.
CHICAGO, June l6.-"I have no adopted
daughter" Mr.. P. ID. Armour said, after
reading the dispatch this afternoon The
girl referred to is an es,imable young lady
who lived for time With my brothers fam
lily in Kansas City"
Mr.. Armour says he met Thompson but
once, but that the Kansas City Armours
were very intimate with the young mans
family. Thompson, as far as be knew, mad
a good character. Mr.. Armour brother
was to accompany the young mans broth
ar 10 Europe.

THE DEATH OF LUDWIG
Causing Wild Excitement Ia the
Country.
HIS ENEMIES cHARsED WITH MURDER
Criminal Negligence Of the King A.
Ieged---The People Crying
for Revenge.

LONDON, June IA dispatch from Mu.
mich states that The excitement in that
city over the death Of King Ludwig is on
the increase. Many Of the tradesmen have
not opened their shops since they we're
closed on the first notice Of the Kings
death; and very little business is trans
acted. The rapidi,y With which startling
events have followed each other bewilders
the Burghers. and the genuine news 10
mixed up with % many hoaxes tha, the
Barshers are exceedingly scep,ical OF
everything they hear or read. To the
genuine grief which was felt st 6rst over
the death, there is now added . wild
thirst for revenge against some persou OF
persons who they are satisfied have had .
hand in the Kings dethronement and
death. All is vague. confused and kaleid.
escopic in their thoughts, but they cling 10
the central idea that the King has been
the subject OF sad wrongs which have cul-
minated in his death. The fevered fancies
Of these good people even point to murder.
though their ideas Of the person or motives
are As chaotic ss those on Othera The
people are clamoring for news, and they
are not satisfied with the cold brevity Of
the police bulletins. The regular
papers issued supplements a. rap
idly az possible, aad they
are bought with gres, avidity. Many Of
them contain the most sensational reports.
which are printed without being properly
sitted or ausly sed because Of the clamor Of
the people.
WHAT THE BURGHERs BELIEVE
The general ideas entertained BY the
burghers are That the King was illegally
deposed; That he was Illegally hurried Oh
to Stsnberg Castle, and that his wrongs
caused him 10 commit suicide. They do
not know who 10 accuse nor exactly ofwbAt
ofense to accuse him. Sill they feel that
grave crime has been committed and
that its authors must not 90 unpurished.
They view the examination Of the King By
q Iaedical committee and its report that
uV Wuo w w SSosK*hS>
and believe the act OF the
Ministerial Commission in seeking TO
force the King to sign an act declaring his
deposition to be act ot treason. Lastly,
they believe that in allowing the King TO
stroll about the grounds Of Starnbcrg CAS-.
tie without sufficient escort TO prevent
him from suicidipg, which they knsw he
had often contemplated, Was indirectly an
act OF murder.
The Burghers say ,ha, all the perpetra-
tors Of these crimes must receive their dne
no matter how exalted their
rank may be. II the Burghers receive
the satisfaction they demand NJ the hands
Of the Diet, well and good; but II tho mat.
ter is s,iaed BY means Of secret sessions,
the Burghers are in mood TO day to ex-
ercise summary vengeance against the sus-
pected plotters.

ed an address in which he used the follow
ing language:
Il will not attempt to conceal or de-
scribe my emotions when l learned that on
the 4th of March last year, at time of the
Inauguration ceremonies at Washington,
that an sx-Confederste General, Fitzhugh
Lee, led that military procession in Con-
fsderate uniform with gallant Sheridan rel.
egated to au inferior position in that line. p"
The address attracted considerable at
tention at the time, and met General Lees
eyes, for Yesterday the Secretary Of the
Democratic State Central Committee re.
ceived the following letter ftom him:
CoMMoNwEALTH or VIRGINIA,
GoYERNoR's OFFICE,
RICHMOND, Va. June 10, 1886.
The Statements of DR.. McChesney are
false, viz: That an ex.Confederate Gen.
eral led the; military in the procession IN
Confederate Uniform, as we'll as his state
ment that Lieutenant General Sheridan, in
blue, was placed in an inferior position,
and that the military mar.
shslled by man in the color
of ashes. Just after reading his absurd
sentences, comparing the color of gray to
ashes, ETC., l read in another paper OF the
action of some Federal soldiers in Water
town, N. Y, who had received pensions
under the laws of the United States bus
who, not requiring them, had sent them to
some Confederate soldiers residing in this
State, because they thought their necessi.
ties greater. Which is doing the most for
the promotion of restored Union of CO.
equal States, the narrov.minded, blood
thirsty preacher, who probably never
smelled gunpowder, or the exUnion sol.
diers who stopped fighting when the war
was over2 can only pity man who re-
mains 5elligerent 80 long, and express the
hope that after death his ashes may be at
peace. Very respectfully yours,
