They were intercepted by the

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
An Unfortunate Woman Tries to Cremate
Her Eew,BOrn Bnbe.


NRw YoaE, August 24.-Police Captain
Conlin, Of the East Eighty.Eighth stree
station sent the following dispatch Il
Acting Police Superintendent Steers thil
morning; Kate stalberg, a German nurse
set fire to her room in the basement Of the
house No. 2l8 East Eightieth street. The
owner, Edward Murray, who lives in the
honse, smslled the smoke and traced II
to her door. When he entered the room
TO put out the fire he discovered the body
OF q newly born child on the Charred and
burning bed, It was half consumed by
the flames, and the sex Of the child could
no longer be distinguished, Exsmlna-
tiou showed deep cut on the Child's
head that had killed 1t. The police put
the woman under arrest and summoned
the coroner, No. 2l6 East Eighteth
street Is q tour-story tenement tull Of
tenants, The discovery Of the crime
created the most intense excitement In the
neighborhcod.
Appearances indicate that Catharine
stalberg attempted TO chop up her child
for the purpose OF cremating It In her
kitchen stove, but found even after mu-
tilating 1t, too large, and so built funeral
pyre on the pillow on her bed and lighted
II. Probably before the design was con-
summsted the smoke drove her out, She
persisted in her declaration oi innocence
and utter ignorance OF the crime, and says
that she awoke to find her bed on FIRE,
A surgical examination proved, however,
that she had recently become mother.
The child, a well developed girl, had been
born alive from all appearances, and kill
cd with blow OF q sharp instrument that
nearly served the head from the body.
"A slanting blow had cut q cash in the
scalp and cheek, and both arms had been
broken at the elbow with blow OF some
edged tool,
The police found in her room q hatChet
with blood stains on the handle. It had
evidently been carefully washed and wiped
recently, but the tell-tale smears remained.
The prisoner lived for several years at
No, 230 East Eightieth street, where sho
passed for the wife Of Otto Williams, a
young butcher, who visited her, Williams
Ia said to have gone to Baltimore two
weeks ago. A brother Of the Stalberg wo-
man, who Ia piano maker and respect
able young fellow, quarreled with her
some time ago on account, 1t Is said, OF
her irregular manner Of living, and has
not since visited her. She Is not known
to have had any male visitors at the house
where the child was born, and had, there
fore, probably no aCcompliCe.

CLEVELAND ANARCHISTS.
They Condemn the Conviction of tho Chlcag
COnEpirniOrE

ConSpirators.
CLEVELAND, o., August PA meeting
Of the Cleveland group Of Anarchists was
held last night, to take action on the con-
viction on the Chicago Anarchists. About
100 Anarchists were present and several
speeches were delivered.
Christ Saam, the leader OF the group,
said: The refgning class and not the
Anarchists, had declared war, and war
they should have TO the knife. The strug'
gle would continue he said, until the great
Anarchist revolution swept away all law
aud diCtation. Then all men would be
equal. The speaker admired the Consti-
tuition, but said that as now regarded II
was not worth the paper on which II was
written. The memories oil the old patriots
who founded the government had been
outraged by the ChiCago verdict, and the
shameful manner in which the law had
been perverted, could they but know oi
1t, was sufficient to cause them to turn In
their graves.
saaln was firmly oi the opinion that the
condemned men would not suffer death
on the gallows, but should that prove the
case 1t would not retard the Anarchist
movement.
John 0hlBon, another speaker, said that
what had occurred in Chicago was liable
to take place in Cleveland and other cities
OF any time, and he wished to have the
working class express their sentiments In
the beginning.
W. Ritter was the next speaker. He
said that when the great Anarchist revo,
luton came there would be change In
the situation. Soldiers would find that
the work in store for them was Of q sternel
nature than q trip Of pleasure.
A committee Of nine was appointed Ia
visit Mayor Gardner and demand Of him
the right to use the Public Square for q
mass meeting Of working people to protest
against the conviction Of the chicago CON
SpiratorS.
The committee called on Mayor Gard.
ner to-day and he refused to grant the use
Of the Public Square. He told the com
mittee he would prevent such q meeting
II II was within bis power TO do 30.

Of kidnapping Aresures when he was

tain OF the Terror.
HALIFAX, N. s., August 24.-Oaptain
Scott, Admiral Of the Canadian fishery
protection feet, will command the new
steam cruiser Acadia. She Is being fitted
out and crew is being collected. She
carries one brass gun, probably a nine
FOUNDER. She will sail about Monday
next. The statement Of the American
officers Of the North Atlantic squadron
who have been visitingthe fishing grounds
contained in a Portland dispatch, TO the
effect that the Dominion Government had
taken Captain Quigley, Of the Terror, in
hands for being too severe on the Ameri-
eau fishermen, has no foundation. II Is
true that the Government was investigat-
ing the matter. Captain Scott has spent
ali the day at that very work, but had
found that Captain Quigley did not ex.
coed his duty In any particular, and that
none but general instructions had been
given him and no new orders had been
Issued to them.
The amount OF It Is that the American
fishermen have been allowed 10 do about
as they liked. They came down to the
Canadian ports and traded without even
reporting to the Custom Houses and
violated the law in many other ways. On
account Of the treaty, the enforcement Of
the custom regulations has been very lax,
and this state Of alEairS has been going on
so long that the Americans have come TO
look upon these privileges as vested rights
and to imagine that there are no laws Of
Canada they are bound to respect.
Not long ago Captain Scott was talking
with man who he'd been a custom officer
for forty years, and he informed the
captain that during the whole period he
never boarded an American fishing vessel.
All thlsis To be stopped. The Minister Of
Customs is determined that the laws shall
be strictly enforced. He says: "As far
as 1t Is in my power, | am going to see
that no customs or other lniringments are
permitted, and that the officers Of oil the
cruisers use their endeavors TO prevent
violations"

CoSsT4NTISOPLR, August 24,-The Porte
has sent a circular to the Powers con-
Cerning the Bulgarian crisis, The circular
says that the deposition OF Prince Alex.
ander has left Bulgaria in position which
interests the Powers as much as It does
Turkey, and asks to be informed OF their
intentions and opinions respecting the
situation as possible. The troops In East
ern Roumelis and at shumla disapproved
OF the deposition. Two thousand people
who openly favor the restoration Of Prince
Alexander, met yesterday in front Of the
Russian Consulate in Phillppopolis, the
capital OF Eastern Roumslia, and made a
public demonstration OF their wishes.
The deposition has divided the populs-
ton Of Sofia into two hostile parties, one
Of which ardently supports tho revolution,
the other is warmly espousing the cause
Of the Prince, The partizanship on both
sides has become dangerously heated al
ready, and It Is feared that party conflicts
Of q serious nature will ensue, The rail-
way service between Oonstantinople and
has been suspended, Orders
have been cent to Adrianopls suspending
the issue OF tickets beyond the frontier.
