Hartford Excitement.

Last evenings Hartford Times has column and half report to the effect that Edward s. Resenbluth, son of Solomon Rosenbluth of this city, some months ago married Miss Addie Webb, one of the young ladies em- ployed in his corset shop in Hartford, who ia an esteemed member of the Baptist church in Hartford, and that lately he had disclosed to his wife through his lawyer, s. E. Clark that he was legally, according to the New York law, the husband of a woman in New York, he having lived with her eight months and had 8 child by her. The Rosenbluths are we'll known and prominent Hebrews of this city.
 MT. Solomon Rosembluth was seen last night at his residence, No. 101 William street, and when asked in regard to the story he said: There is no truth in the story so far as know. It is only story started by the woman. My son was in Hartford to-day, contrary to the statement in the Hartford paper that he had disappeared from the city, and there is no reason why he should do so.

THE EMPEROR WORSE AGAIN. His Condition Reported To Re Again
 Critical.

Critical.
 BERLIN, April 20.-The last twenty-four hours have revealed the extraordinary strength of the Emperor's constitution. The patient has made such progress that hopes for his recovery are entertained if no unfa- vorable symptoms develop. The doctors are reserved, but admit that he has improved in manner which they had not dared to hope for. The canula needs frequent cleansing. When
 the passages are elogged relief is obtained only after violent fit of coughing. The Emperor's temperature is now tested in the Mouth instead of under the arm. To-day he ate some solid food. There is no foundation for the rumors that cancer has been discover ed or that new abscesses are forming. The Reichanzieger published bulletin at p. m. saying that the Emperor had had a satisfactory day, but that toward evening the fever increased and the patients breath ing became less easy.
 BERLIN, April 21-1 a. mt is stated that the Emperor is worse than the last bull Ietin intimated, but that there is no immedi- ate danger The conflicting reports as to the presence of yemia are due to the different uses of the word in Germany and England. In Germany the term is applied only to the seVerest types of the disease, while in Eng land it is applied to fhe milder form. LONDON, April 21.-A despatch from Charlottenburg sent at midnight says: The Emperor's condition is again critical. He is able to sleep, but he is feverish and breathes
 heavily. The canula has sometimes to be cleared at intervals of three minutes. The Times Berlin correspondent says: The Emperor's strength is greatly reduced. He is unable to articulate, but has acquired the
 habit of making himself understood by move-
 ments of the lips. The Times correspondent confirms the reports that the Empsror's con- dition is worse tonight.

HERTX EXPOSES THE DISS DEBAR
 Spell of the SOrceress An ExcItine
 Scene In Court.
 NEW YORK, April 20.-The trial of Mme Diss Debar was continued to-day. Prof Hertz, the magician, was put on the stand by the prosecution and produced upon 8 piece of blank paper held to his wife's fore head the words "Luther R. Marsh, Editha T Counsel for Mae. Diss Debar> then chal- lenged Hertz to do the trick while the madame held the paper. He offered to do so. The madame took the paper and tore it so as to be able to identify it. Hertz at once said the trick could not be done with torn paper. There was no miracle about it. He did not deny that he changed the pabers. The madame's familiarity with sleight of hand tricks did not impress the audience favorabiy as bearing upon her own methods
 Randolph. the theatrical manager, was then examined and told how he had trapped the madame into telling him how she was fooling MT. Marsh. The story has already been published. It is now reported that Randolph is really Pinkerton detective in. stead of manager. He caused much laugh ter in court by telling how the ill-fayored madame made love to him when he called on her.
 MT. Marsh was next called. He told in a simple way how the pictures and written messages had come, as he believed. from the spirit hand. He expressed undiminished confidence in Mme Diss Debar as a medium between this world and the other
 Magician Hertz was called on to show Mir. Marsh that the madame was not the only per son who could produce these effects. Hertz began to play the blank paper trick, but Mime. Diss Debar, who suddenly became greatly excited, missed out: ''Mark the pad, MT. Marsh" sKeep. still madame" cried Justice Kilbreth in an angry tone. There was much excitement in the court room. Lawyers and spectators crowded around the witness stand. The justice or dered Hertz to proceed with the unmarked pad. Ar. Townsend, counsel for kme. Diss Debar, began to make objections and to interfere with Hertz's arrange meats. Justice Kilbreth sternly rebuked him. The confusion increased, and as Mir. Marsh seemed to be growing nervous and the madame kept whispering injunetions to him in stage tone, the court declared that it was useless to pursue the matter further and ad journed the case until Tuesday The two Lawrences have been released on parole. Mme Diss Debar ad1 her artist husband are still in the Tombs.

Fiftieth Congress--First Session.

WASHINGTON, AprA 2O. HoUsE.-The House resumed consideration Of the Indian appropriation bill, the pending question being on the motion of MT. Randall to strike out the Choetaw judgment section. The motion was lost, and the bill was passed.
 The House then went into committee on the pension appropriation bill. After the general debate on the bill had been closed MT. Conger, of Michigan, offered an amend- ment providing that in all cases of pensions to widows payment shall be made from the date of the death of their husbands. The amendment was adopted.
 On motion of MT. O'Neil of Missouri, an amendment was adopted providing that all officers of the United States authorized to administer oaths shall administer all oaths witnesses free of charge. The committee then rose and the bill (which appropriates $S0, ,280 ,000 was passed.
 A contest for precedence of consideration then arose between the postofhce, District of Columbia and river and harbor appropria- tion bills in which the latter came out victo- rious, and general debate having been dis pensed with its consideration by paragraphs was immediately entered upon in committee of the whole. MT. Boutelle of Maine. in speaking to 8 verbal amendment, criticised the provisions of the bill and commented on the fact that the States represented by the members of the committee on rivers and harbors had received nearly $14, ,O0O, 600 of the $19, ,000, ,00O carried by the bill. He made brief analysis of the measure and said the entire appropriations for the rivers and har- bors of New England aggregated the meagre sum of $908, 900, while Texas alone received over $1 ,000, 900 for one or two harbors. The great imperial harbor of New York had been almost entirely ignored, while the Missouri and Mississippi rivers received $5, ,000, ,000.
 MT. Blanchard, of Louisiana, replied that New York harbor had received an aggregate appropriation of $S35, 1000, While the State of New York has received more than $1, ,500, ,000 He did not think that New England had been unfairly treated, as the provisions made for that section had met the approval of the New England representative on the committed
 Pending further discussion the committee rose and the House at 5 o'clock took recess until 730, the evening session to be for the consideration of private pension bills.

Kelly Wins she Game For Boston by
 One of His CharacterIstic Tricks.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 20.-The league sea- son opened in this city to day with a finely contested and close game between the Phila- delphia and Boston clubs The weather was rather frigid and the sixteen hundred specta- tors showed but little enthusiasm. The bat teries were CIarkson and Kelly, and Gleason and Clements. The honors were about even ly divided, although Gleason, who is the latest acquisition to the staff of the league pitchers, deserved much credit. For the loss of the game Andrews and Kelly are respon- sible. The former threw wildly to home plate to cut of Kelly and the "beauty" as he afterwards admitted to Daniels held Clem- ents to prevent his securing the ball, which allowed Wise to score. After this ungentle- manly act Kelly further tantalized and dis gusted the crowd by facing the grand stand and shouting, "That's the soupl" The features of the game were the base playing of Bastian and Nash and the batting of Wood, whose terrific drive over the fence for home run was the only play applauded.
