TORONTO. March 1.-The death of I.
ID. Bennett. the unfortunate commercial
traveller of New York, who lost his life a
American falls week ago last Sunday,
and whose corpse was only discovered yes
terday, was one of the most terrible that
human mind can conceive. a gentleman
from Niagara Falls said this morning that
from the appearance Of the body it is judged
with good reason that the man was never
in the water at all. but had slipped down
the ice mound and landed in a crevice or
ice hole with but little injury. His hat had
been lost in the descent, and he had tied
his handkerchief over his head. The corpse
lies on its back with the hands in the pock-
cts of the OvercOat. The snow is firmly
packed into path where the unfortunate
victim walked backward and forward until
death came TO his relief. With the roar of
the cataract deafening any sound that he
could make. death was a welcome relief
from his awful prison house. Men were
busy blasting, and it is expected they will
soon reach the body. He was starved and
frozen to death.

MURDERED FOR HER MONEY.
The Sequel To "A Vienna Matrimonial
AdVertis enent.

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, March 14.-A short time ago
the following announcement appeared in
a Vienna paper:
A WIDOW with 1000 gulden seeks husband.
n Apply to so-and-so.
The advertiser was Frau Kuehnel, re-
spectacle woman living with an only child
on the third floor of house in the Erde-
bergerstrasse. Numerous applicants re-
piled to the appeal, but none exactly hit
the widows taste, and the 8, 900 gulden re-
manned untouched in snug corner of
chest of drawers in her bedroom, One day
tall man of about so knocked at her
door and inquired in an insinuating voice
whether he had the honor of addressing
Fran Kuehnel. II am the lady," replied
the widow. well, I'll call again." said
the visitor. 81 am from Upper Austria
lla." And, after glancing rapidly round
the room, he departed. The other morning
young Kuehnel, on coming home from
school. was surprised to find the door locked
and no sign of his mother. In the after
noon, seeing something was wrong, the
neighbors knocked at the door. Getting no
answer the bravest of them forced the lock.
The door flew open. he heard groan and
the apparently lifeless body of the widow
fell into his arms, covering him with blood.
Life, however, was not extinct.
THE WOMAN REVIVED
sufficiently to gasp out. Pm cold, cold; it
was man that did it." BY signs she man
aged TO explain that the man in question
was her matrimonial visitor. Two days
later she expired. The police Immediately
started in pursuit of the supposed murderer,
but SO fan have failed to effect his capture.
Circumstantial evidence shows the man
must have returned after his first visit and
slipped into the apartments the morning of
the murder unObserved by the janitor. He
must then have locked himself in with the
widow. The pools of blood in different
parts of the room prove how desperate the
struggle must have been. After commit
ting the crime the murderer coolly ransacked
the drawers, put all the valuables they con-
hands, and walked off. Among
the stolen goods was large
sum Of cash and savings bank book. The
day after the murder a tall man, exactly
answering to the description of the suspected
assassin, presented the book at bank in
the Buergerplatze. and asked for a loan of
1000 gulden. Struck by the largeness of
the sum demanded, the cashier refused the
money and endeavored to get possession of
the book. After short tusSel however,
the applicant Snatched it away and vanished
before he could be apprehended. Since then.
though the police have made search in all
directions, the murderer has not been heard
of. The crime has created CONSERVATION in
Vienna. and, as in London and Paris, the
people here are clamoring for more efficient
police protection.

The GUN was Loaded.

PITTsBURG. March 14.-At McKeesport,
Pa. j Ohm EgedeT. an emplOye of the Ma
tiOnal Tube works, was fatally shot by A.
W. Weider while reheaTsing a drama
at Turner hall, which was to have
been presented by the Turner Literary
society this evening. The shooting was
purely accidental. 1t seems that the old
shotgun supposed to be unloaded had been
procured to practice a drill, which was
one of the requirements of the play.
When the order to fire came the
gun was discharged. One side of Egeder's
face was torn away. including an ear and
almost the entire nose. E. Schwer. who
was standing near by, received some of the
shot in the face but was not seriously hurt
Egeder was carried away unconscious. He
will die. The play was postponed indefi-

ENGLISH POLITICS.
GladstOne's HI Ome Rule Scheme ALI
most Ready.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
LONDON, March 14.-Radicalism dis
played itself very actively this week in the
debates on royal palaces and on the pro-
posed disestablishment of state and church
in Wales. If the Welsh question had been
little better managed the motion in favor
of dsestablishment might have been car
ried. The established church in Wales has
as little claim for sympathy or support az
the established church when it was estab-
lished in Ireland. The great majority of
Welshmen are dissenters. The valleys and
hillSideS are dotted with their chapels,
which are crowded at every service, while
the state church is empty. l have seldom
heard Radical sentiments spoken out in such
clear, sharp terms as in the debates thi4
week. Radicals now do not need
to be led, but to push on
their leaders and make them go. I
am told MIR. GladstOne's home-rule scheme
was submitted to the cabinet yesterday.
VIII Mr.. Chamberlain accept it? the people
ask. had some talk with Mr.. Chambers
lain this week and found him not so SET
against home rule as some suppose. He
held to the utterly mistaken idea that the
Irish people can be weaned from the desire
for national parliament by concession OF
the fullest kind of land and educational
measures. He seemed still to hope to
satisfy
THE NATIONAL DESIRE
by doing for the Irish people all that they
would do for themselves if they had a ma
tiOnal parliament. If he could be convinced
that he is mistaken in this idea he would
probably not resist any proposal for the
sch eme of home rule. He is acceptable to
the Irish party, and the Irish people hope
he will not secede from Mr.. Gladstone's
administration, but refrain from prophecy.
The home-rule association of Englishmen
and Scotchmen, which 1 mentioned in
previous letter, is making good progress
and doing good work. Lord Ashburnham,
Catholic peer, is the president. Joseph
Cowen and Milfred Blunt are on the ex-
ecutive committee, which has just had q
remarkable addition to its members in the
person of Earl Oxford. a descendant of
Robert WalpOle. Earl Oxford not long ago
became convert to the Catholic religion,
and is thus drawn into sympathy with the
national cause of Ireland. AS curious
illustration of the English Philistines Of
public opinion. not one of the great English
banks would allow this association to open
an account, and Sir James Marshall, the
treasurer, had the use of the London branch
of the National bank of Ireland.

STRANGE CASE OF INSANITY.
What Constitutes Dementia in n
Chicago Court.

Special to the Globe
CHICAGO, March 14.-John Y. Macomb
was induced to take ride yesterday and
landed at the county court, where he was
put on trial for insanity. DR.. ID. ID. Brown
and DR.. Lyman testified that he was suf-
fering from inflammation of the brain and
had been so suffering for three months;
that his nervous system was exhausted,
and that he was weighted under mental
dementia. which they feared was perma-
nent. Never did a man seem
more sane than Mr.. MacOmb. Al
lowing for his astonishment at being
brought suddenly up on a charge of insan-
ity and the consequent nervous shock, he
appeared as rational as any man could be.
His wife testified that he was manufac-
turer of hOisting apparatus, and that he
had been devoting himself studiOusly to
business for many years, and that he had
done all of his work himself and employed
no bOOkkeeper. The great strain had broken
him down. Dr. Brown was called, and
testified that Macomb manifested his insan-
ity by the hallucination that he was
VERY WEALTHY,
and in the last two months he had run up
bills for 81. 600 for furniture, brIc-a-brac,
stationary, carved mantels and other deco
rations for his house. His residence at 335
Monroe street was dazzlingly resplendent in
works of fine art and costly furniture and
carvings. MacOmb sat at a table during
the testimony and looked in the most aston
ishing way first at his wife and then at the
Judge and jury. He seemed to have lost
his tongue until the court asked him if he
wanted a lawyer.
II need none, your honor" he replied in a
straightforward, business way. II am here

moved chair, Strengthened his necktie and
said: Your honor and gentlemen of the

LONDON, March 14.-The Observer says
that at the cabinet council yesterday the
measures submitted by Mr.. Gladstone for
the home government of ireland were un-
favorably received, and that the project il
persisted in will lead to the disruption Of

Gladstone's draft. as printed and handed to

priation, for which a colossal sum will be
required. The administration of the fund
will be intrusted to an Irish local body, the
constitution of which is left blank in the
draft. but which the ministers were in-
formed would be of the character of an

The jury refined and were out four min
uies, when they returned with verdict Of

The verdict was shock to many who saw
and heard Mr.. Maeomb. He took it quietly,
exclaiming: ''Well, this is the damndeSt

yer and have new trial" An order was
made out for his temporary commitment
to Jefferson, and he will be taken to Kan
