A Horrible Crime.

PmLADELpHIA, May 31.--A doctor
reported to the police early this
morning that Mrs. Serafno Comfor-
ii, aged 80, residing at No. 907 s.
Ninth street, died about midnight
from frightful injuries received by
being kicked and beaten. The wo-
mans husband keeps liquor saloon
at the place mentioned. A hasty
investigation shows that while Mr..
and Mrs. Comforti and several 9TH
er persons were in the barroom
about midnight Henry Bossell en-
tered and insulted and struck one of
the women. A fight ensued during
which Mrs. Comfort threw bottle
which narrowly missed Bossel's
head. Half an hour later, when
Mrs. Comforti went into rear
room, Bossel, without being noticed
followed her, He caught her by the
throat and pounded her face to a
jelly, and when she lay unconcious
on the floor he kicked and jumped
upon her several times. When q
physician arrived the unfortunate
woman was dead.
An examination showed that Bos-
sci had actually kicked hole in the
woman's abdomen and her intestines
protruded. She had been in deli
cate condition, and double murder
was the result of Bossel's brutality.
The police arrested John Comforti,
the husband of the victim Henry
Bossel, the murderer; Louis Maggi,
who it is alleged was a party to the
crime; Nicholas Marbel and Ange-
10 Penzo. At a hearing this fore
noon Bossel was sent to prison to
await the result Of the Coroner's in
quest and the others were held rs
witnesses.

Cyclone In Ohio.

Stories of the recent cyclone in
Ohio are coming in quite freely, but
they do not approach the marvel
Gus stories OF the Tornado that
swept up the valley OF the roaring
Condorus, in York County, in the
cold Spring of 1S42. After the
storm we speak of, one farmer found
that his well had been pulled up by
the roots and was hanging on tho
limbs of white oak tree four miles
away. A csller belonging to one of
his neighbors was split in two, one
half of it being blown through q
stone quarry and the other half
turned up endwise against a hay
stack in the adjoining county. A
flock of geese were completely strip
ped of their feathers by the wind
and dried apple pie was blown
through the side of "a schoolhouse,
terrifying the teacher and scholars,
besides running large map of the
grasshopper districts of Kansas. A
large barn containing thirteen tons
Of hay was lifted off it's foundations
and carried bodily six miles down
the valley, where it settled down SO
squarely that the doors could be
opened without prying them. The
wind blew the tails off six Durham
COWS, and Berkshire pig weighing
200 pounds was llown completely
through his skin the hide remaining
in standing position and preserving
an expression of naturalness that de.
ceived many visitors. The bound
airy lines Of several townships were
bent all out of shape, so that they
looked like curled hair mattress
on hot griddle, and the air was
blown so completely out Of the val
ley that people had to go up on the
hills when they wanted to breathe.
These things are enough to show
that the Condorus tornado was Of
the hustling variety.

Mosf Sentenced.

New York, June 2.-Herr Johann
Most, the Anarchist, was to-day SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for one
year and fined $500. His associate,
Braunchweig, got nine months in the
penitentiary and was fined $3.50.
Schenck was sent to the penitentiary
for nine months, but was not fined
Recorder Smith, in sentencing
Most, expressed deep regret that the
law did not permit him to impose
heavier sentence. His crime, he said,
deserved the punishment awarded to
capital offences. He also told him he
was the greatest scoundrel he had
ever seen at the bar. Braunchweig,
the Recorder said, was almost equal
ly guilty. Schenck, he thought, was
a dupe of his companions, but he de-
served punishment to warn him and
others against following the teachings
of such men as Most. None of the
prisoners attempted te speak word
in court. They were taken back to
the Tombs, and this afternoon will be
transferred to Blackwells Island.

MEMORIAL DECORATIONS AT RIVERSIDE
PARK.

PARK.
New York, May 3l.--Not even on
that August cay when the body Of
the great soldier was laid at restl
was the tomb Of General Grant de-
decked with such wreathes offlowers,
immortelles and evergreens as SUR
rounded it to-day. North and West,
East and South have done their mt.
most to make the display a worthy
one; and Confederate and Federal
veterans have vfed with each other
in sending tokens Of remembrance
and affection Cor the dead leader
Beauty of situation Riverside Park
always possesses, but the rugged
slope leading to the river was crown
ed with waving field Of loneliness.
Spreading in fan shape behind the
tomb, and topping the little spot Of
rising ground, were successive rows
of floral emblems, palm, ferns and
small forest Of other evergreens,
tastefully arranged under the disao-
ton Of Park Superintendent Samuel
Parsons, Jr. The central figure was
very beautiful floral tribute which
arrived yesterday from u. S. Grant
Post of Bay City, Michigan, consist
ing Of mass of flowers on a wire
foundation, eight feet high and six
feet wide. 1t was worked in immor.
telles, maiden hair ferns, pampas,
plumes, ealendulas and Marechal
Niehoses, the Michigan coat-ofarms,
surmonnted by floral eagle. On
each side were floral ladders, the
rounds Of which bore worked in
flowers, the words "Shiloh, ssyicks-
burg" "0rchard Knob "Loolxout
Mountain and other scenes of
Grants victories. The whole was
surmounted by u floral arch of roses
under which stood the word 'sAppo-
mattox,n while underneath was a
white dove resting upon the word
'sPeace."
Near by was a quaint and striking
contribution from Robert II. Lee,
Camp of Confederate veterans of
Richmond. Va. The words "Let Us
Have Peace" appeared in blue let
tiers on gray ground, on the out
side of hollow pillar, in which was
large and elegant Virginia cedar,
surrounded with bright flowers, out
side the tomb was the large floral
shield sent by U. S. Grant Post No.
5, OF Philadelphia, with the arms of
Pennsylvania in immortelles and
grasses of many colors. Wreaths of
delicate flowers covered the front of
the structure, and twined in the
bars of the iron gate were sprigs of
ivy from plant originally taken
from the tomb of Martin Luther,
presented by Mrs. DIR. j. p. New
man.

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. O., June z, 1886.
The proceedings in the House this
week have demonstrated the fact
that it's members have acquired a
creditable proficiency. during this
Congress, in verbose and useless de-
bate. The entire week has been de-
voted to the discussion of the bogus
butter bill, a measure of minor i'm
portance, but evidently attractive as
an ingenious ALTERATION. Assuming
that "title' is worthy a weeks con-
sideration, and that the substance Of
the bill, to be purely secondary, it
will doubtless be of great interest
to your readers, so write you the
facts. The bill fs to tax oleomargar-
inc. The country representatives
naturally favored the measure, while
the city representatives were oppos-
ed to taxation, and expressed their
views in terms as strong as the article
itself. Democrats like Tucker aud
Hammond, thought the bill uncon-
stitutional, and Judge Kelley of
Pennsylvania, opposed it on the
broad ground, that the tax was not
needed for revenue. The strongest
argument presented by the opponents
of the measure, was that oleomarga-
rine serveda double purpose inasmuch
as it could be used as axle grease.
A member arose and remarked that
he didn't believe it could be used as
a lubricant eyes it can" quickly
answered several Democrats, at has
been used on the Dolphin with very
satisfactory results" No one cared
to discuss the merits of the Dolphin,
so Mr. Adams, of New York, submit
ted the following amendment.
''That all manufacturers of incuba-
tors shall pay tax of $4,000, and
on every chicken Matched by artifi-
cial means there shall be imposed
tax of 50 for roosters and 81 for pull
lets, in order that the great American
hen may be properly protected
The Chair remarked that the
amendment was characterized by
great philanthropy, but that it would
have to be ruled out
A large quantity of oleomargarine
is sold in our Washington market.
1t is sold however under the artistic
name of butterine. It's chief patrons
are boarding houses and cheap ho-
tells.
There has been considerable dis
cussion among members of the med
ical profession, as to whether the
.concoction is deleterious. Several
celebrated French physicians have
declared that butterine is perfectly
harmless when properly made, and
taken in moderate doses.
/ was rather surprised during re-
cent visit to the Navy Yard, to OBJ
serve the life and activity in the work
shops. Several years ago.. the place
presented very sleepy appearance,
but since then, the comatose sentry
at the gate, and crazy-looking cannon
in the yard, have undergone COM
plete renovation. The drunken old
battery commanding the river has
long since been consigned to an inc
briate's grave, and replaced by for
midable line of improved breech-load-
ers.
The guns are the new patters, 6, s,
and 10 inch rifles, and in many re-
poets resemble the celebrated Krupp
gun used in the British navy. The
30-inch rifles are % feet tn length,
and weigh nearly 80 tons. They
carry 30-inch projectile, calculated
to pierce Is inches Of steel armor at
the distance of mile. ALIc
