AWOMAN'S HORRIBLE FATE
KICKED AND BEATEN TO DEATH
BY A
Drunken Rufllan In Her Husbands
Drinking SalOOn-A Terri
BILE Crime.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nav 3.-A
doctor reported to the police early
this morning that Mrs. Serafno Com
iorti, eyed thirty, residing at No 907
South Ninth street, died about mid
night from frightful injuries received
by being kicsed and beaten. The
v, mans husband keeps liquor sa
loon at the place mentioned. A hasty
investigation shows that while Mr.. and
Mrs. COMFORT and several other persons
were in the bar-room, about midnight,
Henry Bossel entered and insulted
and struck one OF the women. A
fight ensued, during which Mrs. Com
forti tnrew bottle which narrowly
missed Bossels head. Half an hour
later, when Mrs. Comfort went into
rear room, Bossel, without being no
ticed, followed her. He caught her
by the throat and pounded her fac
into jelly, and when she lay uncon-
scions on the floor, he kicked and
jumped upon her several times.
When physician arrived the uufor-
tunate woman was dead. An ex
animation showed that Bossel had
actually kicked hole in the
woman's abdomen, and her intestines
protruded She bad been in a deli
cate condition, and the unborn babe
had also been killed by Bos els bru
tality. The police arrested John
Comforti, the husband OF the victim;
Henry Bossel, the murderer; Lou s
Maggi, who, it is alleged, W a party
to the crime; Nicholas Marbel and
Angelo Penzo.
At hearing this forenoon Bossel
was sent to prison to await the result
of the coroner's inqu st, and the 9TH
ers were held as witnesses.
Ldter.-The place where the woman
met her death is a drinking place and
dance-houss combined and is situated
in one of the worst n, ighborhoods in
the city, inhabited to a great extent
by Italians of the lower class. The
Italians give conflicting statements as
to the cause of the woman's death and
the majority OF them say she was no
kicked, but that after free fight with
chairs, bolt es and glasses, in which
the men and women joined, Mrs.
COMFORT was found dead on the floor.

THE GAS QUESTION.
A New Proposition for the Old
Company TO Entertain.
To tho Editors of the Appeal.

To the Editors Of the Appeal;
Your Industrious Interviewer has
given the opinion OF number ofgood
citizens upon the gas question, most
OF whom object to the proposition OF
the Gas Company, but rome propose
a solution or proposal that would be
acceptable to the people. Although
not called npO1 by your reporter for
an opinion, feel that am at liberty
to suggest an idea upon the subject
that think would be acceptable to
both the tompa y ard the people.
My idea is this: Tt e Gas Company has
had allthe chicken pc for the past
thirty years let them now give the
people bite; give the city all public
lights free and the citizens gas for ten
years at 81 so per thousand. and this
will satisfy all the opposition. If they
will not accept this proposition, make
the same offer t. the opposition or
new company and they will, am as
sured. lit the first gas burner ever
lit in this city and was the first sec
rotary OF the present company,
and the entire works was built under
my management and paid for them,
and the entire cost was not over $75,-
600. 1t has grown to 100000 by
watering stock TO great extent
and anew company can start a put
in good plant at iess than half this
amount This proposition will
give the company a fair chance for
dividend, and the people will be
satisfied to ray the price and would
prefer to pay II to having new COM
pany, even at less price. Any propo-
sition for a longer time or at a greater
price, ! think, would be very seriously
objected to by the people. In my
opinion no contact for a longer time
should bs made upon any terms.

At Chicago.


CHICAGO, May 3l.-The banks, the
Board of Trade and the Exchanges
we're closed to-day. All the chief cere-
monies incident TO Decoration Day,
however, occurred Saturday.
The decoration ceremonies at Cal
vary Cemetery,nearly ended in a dis
graceful row, in which Superintendent
I. d. Guinea would have been the
central and nest conspicuous figure.
The decoration OF the graves of the
dead soldiers who lie buried in the soil
OF this cemetery was undertaken by
Mulligan Post, No. 800, Of the Grand
Army of the Republic, snd represen-
tatives from the Union Veteran Asso-
cation. Thirty or forty veterans, &C
companied by several hundred citi-
zaps, went out TO Calvary on the 10
o'clock tiaiu. They had a fifer and a
drummer, and the two made things
lively with an interspersion OF "Garry
Owen" and Marching Through Geor-
gia" on the way out. At the alvary
depos they formed in line, with Post
Commander b. ii. Linfcott at the
head. Superintendent Guinea stood
at the entrance TO the buryipg ground.
"Please step aside aud let US get in, I"
said Comrads Linscot'.
"0h, I've got mething to do here"
raid Mr.. Guinea, and the veterans had
to wait.
They vera a little angry at the in
terrupliop, but they cooled down in
few moments, ard arFenged them
selves in line in front of the monu-
ment 10 Col. Mulligap, after whom
their post is named.
The veterans uncovered and stood
silently and with lowered heads
while the bsse Of the statue was be-
ing strewn with hlwers. Then Com.
mander Insect stepped TO the front
and began a brief address. Com
rade'," he nd, I'VE are assembled
10 day to pay our respects to the
memory OF a soldier whom We all
love TO honor, that brave hero, Col.
Mulligan, and pray TO God that this
ceremony will keep green in your
hearts"
Mr.. L'nscott got no further. Super.
intsndent Guinea grasped the soldier
by the arm.
"This has gone far enough" he
said. mo prayers can bs ofe ed here
except by Catholic priest"
"But I was not Offering a prayer"
eaid Mr.. Linscott. 1T was simply q
figure Of speech"
That does not make any differ
ence," remarked the superintendent,
You cannot SO on with it in this
cemetery"
"0ae Lf the veterans, indignant at
the interruption, advanced toward the
bury superintendent. Lets put him
out altogether" ride him on
raj" yelled several voices, threaten
iugly, at once.
Guinea looked at the excited crowd,
which was fast being aug nented by
the people from the neighboring lots,
who heard the loud talking. Guinea
turned aud sought r, iuge in the pri-
vate office. The soldiers then went
on with their ceremonies.
All the 500 graves OF soldiers in the
cemetery were ornament a.

London is shortly to be honored with
the visit OF really black prince, blacker
than Cetewayo. HIS name is most Gu.
phonious, such as Theodore Hook him
self would have delighted in-Diaoulok
Karamokoko. He is the son of the great
Senegalese Emperor Samory. His age is
but nineteen. His tastes towards Euro
pean ladies are said to be barbaric. His
stay In Paris, where be was the admired
OF all admirers, who were legion, may &C.
count for this. He takes most intelli-
gent interest, it is said, in all he sees, and
his observations prove him to be- possess
ed of good mental qualities. His man
ners are gentle and afable. He wears
the national costume, consisting of loose
pantaloons, silken vest, and a cloak of
rich velvet, purple in hue. A sort of
silver tissue smoking.c cap forms his mead.
dress. Like the late King Cetewayo
Diaoulok Karamokoko keeps diary.
An enterprising Partisan editor has seen
this naturally remarkable production,
and it Is rumored has even obtained per.
mission from this afable Prince to pub
llsh extracts from it.

The Birthplace of Abraham.

Not far from Aleppo is situated the
little town OF Orfsh (the ancient Ur OF
the Chaldees). which is of great histori-
Cal interest, it having been the birth
place of the patriarch Abraham. There
are few Jews in the place. but the Arabs
still point out small building lying out
side the town, which they declare to be
the house wherein Abraham first saw the
light, and which they therefore term Belt
El-Chalil (the house OF the friend of G,od)
1t is most improbable that the actual
house should have stood for thousands OF
years, but the building in question is OF
great antiquity. By its present owner,

generally it is held in the utmost veneer

within few years it will fall to the

The Strongest Drink.

Water Is the strongest drink. 1t drives
mills; it ID the drink of lions and horses,
and Samson never drank anything else
Let young men be teetotalers if only for
economy - sake. The beer money will
soon buy house. If what goes into the
mash-tub went into the kneading trough,
families would be better fed and better
taught. If what is spent in waste were
only saved against a rainy day. work
houses would never be built. The man
who spends his money with the publican,
and thinks the landlords bow and How
do ye do, my good fellow p means true
respect, is poor simpleton. We do not
light fires for the behring's comfort, but
to roast him. Men do not keep pot
houses for the laborer's good if they do,
they certainly miss their aim. Why,
then, should people drink " for the good
OF the house2" If spend my money for
the good of any house, let it be my own,
and not the landlords. 1t is bad well
into which you must put water and the
beer-house is bad friend, because it
takes your all, and leaves you nothing
but headaches.
He who calls those his friends who let
him sit and drink by the hour together,
IS ignorant-very Ignorant. Why, red
lions and tigers and eagles and vultures
are all creatures OF prey, and why do so
many put themselves within the power of
their jaws and talons? Such as drink
and live riotously and wonder why their
faces are so blotchy and their pockets so
bare, would leave off wondering if they
had two grains of wisdom. They might
as well ask an elm tree for pears, as to
look to loose habits for health and wealth.
Those who go to the public-house for
happiness, climb the tree to find fish.

gate has been found, which it is believed
cantains sepulchres of the highest inter

are just now very low. so that the scien-

come be KEEP in suspense as to the precise
value and further details OF these inter
