PARKER Is PARDoNED.
Gov. Hill Frees a Convict Con.
yicted of Murder.

Special to the Globe
ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 1S.-Erland :.
Parker, sentenced Oct. L., 1872, from
Erie county, for murder in:theEeeond de-
gree, to life Imprisonment at Auburn
prison, has been pardOned by Coy.
Hill. The circumstances of the crime
charged against this convict, as devei-
op d before the coroner'S jury, are
somewhat peculiar. The convict. after
his return from the civil war, having
received honorable discharge from the
Federal army, worked as farm hand up
to the time of his arrest. On the day
the crime was charged to have
been committed, he drove from the farm
where he was employed, to Buffalo. DE
arrived in that city in the morning. and
before departure became intoxicated
At night he and an acquaintance VS.
tied a low negro dive, and there
the convict invited white woman
to go home with him. saying she would
be given employment on the farm OF
his employer. She consented, and the
three drove away together. They
stopped several times to drink,
and the whole party became
very drunk. A short distance
out of the city, the convict's male com
panion got out of the wagon and re-
turned. From this point the woman
was seen alive but once afterWard. One
witness Swore that he saw the convict
driving along at furious rate; that
the woman was standing in the wagon,
and he was beating her with whip.
Two days later she was found in eoun-
try school house dead. The examine
ton showed that death was caused by the
neck being broken. Soon after the con-
Wet was arrested. iHe told the story
substantially as above, but said the
woman. while he was driving fast. fell
OFT the wagon: that he. surprising her TO
be In drunken stupOr, placed her
in the school house, expecting that
when she became sober. she would re-
turn to the city. He denied that he
knew she was dead or that he struck
her with whip. On his trial, by advice
of his counsel, he pleaded guilty to
avoid conviction of higher crime. The
district attorney in commenting on the
facts, says he failed to discover any
motive for the crime. The judge pre-
siding at the trial is long since dead,
but it was shown that he favored
recommending pardon at the end
of three or four years. The entire cir
cumStanceS tend to show that the con-
yict's story was true. The convict'S
conduct in prison has been exemplary,
and while his parents are dead,
he has sisters who ask for his release.
1t is true that there must always remain
2. doubt of the convict's innocence, but
the doubt OF his guilt must continue to
be as strong. In the belief that he will
become good citizen If discharged, the
governor says: Il have determined to
give him the benefit of the doubt by re-
hitting his term of Imprisonment"

FATE OF THE EXPLORERS.
Berliners Doubt the Reported
CAPTURE OF STANLEY.

BERLIN. Dec. 1S.-1nterest in African
affairs is for the moment all conferred
in the fate of Emin Pasha and Henry
nj. Stanley. Lieut. Wissman, at pub
lie meeting in Cologne in October, said
that Emin's position at Wadelai formed
a wall which separated the Arabs of
the Soudan from those of the south,
and that if the wall collapsed
the whole Arab movement would be so
strengthened that it would require
hundred fold greater sacrifices to mas
ter it. The greatest doubt is thrown
here on the report that Stanley has been
captured. 1t is argued that the alleged
fight must have occurred between the
third and fifth degrees of north lati-
tude, between Lado and Wadelai.
The distance to Omdurman, Os-
man Digna's headquarters, is L2o0
miles, and thence to Suakim is
another 400 miles. The swiftest mes
sengerS would take four months to
cover the entire distance. The result
of the discussions of the Emin relief
committee, however, is the postpone
ment of the departure of Lieut.. WiSs-
mann until definite news has been re-
ceived of Emin's fate, Lieut.. WiSsmann
urging that. If the news of Emin's cap

tons of his pans would be necessary
in view of the increased difficulties
he would be almost certain to meet.
The Kreuz Zeltung makes strong COM
plant because Lieut.. Wissmann went
to London to purchase equipments for
the expedition when everything except,
perhaps, tents could have been obtained
Just as good and just as cheap in Ger
many The Emin command still has no
news tending either to confirm or to
discredit the 0sman letter. All
the news received here up to
the present emana ed from London.
Later advices from Damaraland show
that the Southwest African company is
IN a plight. Kamanerero has expelled
the German missionaries and will not
listen to any overtureS for German pro-
lection. Herr Goering has retired to
Walfisch Bay, but he has ordered the
company's employees to remain for the
present at their posts. The Kreuz lei
tung announces that In consequence of
this news the gold syndicate formed by
members of the company is about to be
dissolved.

ReinstateS Two Southern

BUFFALO. n. Y, Dec. 1S.-The direc-
tors OF the Buffalo base ball club at
meeting held to-day effected deal that
will send a thrill through the base ball
world. Buffalo once before figured in
base ball sensation that excited every
patron of the game from Maine to Cali
fofnia. That was at the time the De-
truitS bought the Big Four and the
Whuie team with them, but this time,
however, Buffalo gets t, big end Of the
stick and the best of the Big -Four,
itself, into the bargain. Jack Rowe
and jim White of last years Detroits,
have bought a majority OF stock III the
Buffalo base ball club, and Will here
after control it. Among the Important
business transacted, after the deal nad
been effected, was the election or jim
White to the presidency OF the club,
and Jack Rowe to the vice presidency.
The directors who have been figuring
for this result were delighted. 1t will,
though, make some of the big clubs
howl. for White was wanted by half
dozen Of them, and Rowe was to go to
PiLt5burg
Manager Chapman was asked this aft
ernoon how the sale of White to Boston
and Rowe to Pittsburg would affect
their playing in Buffalo. He said: II
don't know about that. That is their
business, but they are old base ball men,
and probably have legal advice
as to their course" do YOU
think Rowe will manage the team?"
'Probably, but don't know anything
about il for certain" Mr.. Rowe, the
newly elected vice president, was seen
tonight. He stated that Detroit
claimed to have hold on him and
White, but as there will be no league
team in that city next season,
and their contracts were with
the Detroit club, and they never
had any dealings with the Ma
tional league, they could see no reason
for their being held. If Mr.. White
plays he will cover third base. When
asked what would become of Reidy, he
replied; "He is a good player, and will
probably assist in the catching" As TO
the other players. he would say nothing
except that Hamburg. Leehane. Grant
and Carroll would probably be retained.

ter.
DETROIT. Mich. Dec. 1S.-An excit-
ing shooting affair occurred on Girls
void street. opposite the city hall,
shortly after noon to-day. A commits
'sioner's sale of property was in prog
ress. parties financially concerned being
Herman Luther. his wife and daughter.
The LutherS had been divorced. and
the court recently ordered a sale Of the
land and partition of the proceeds.
The property was first bid in by the
father, but he was unable to make the
Z required deposit. and the sale was re-
sepened and bid in by Mrs. Luther. This
enraged Luther. and, drawing rey0l-
yer, he began firing at the women. who
ran shrieking down the street. Luther
followed and fred several shots with
out effect. As the daughter turned the
corner of Michigan avenue she fell, and
as she lay there Luther leyelied his re-
.yolyer to shoot, but a young man
grabbed him by the arm just as the trig-
ger was pulled. The pistol was deviated
from its intended victim, and the bullet
struck one of the spectators in the knee.
At this moment Luther was struck in
the face with brick by one of the
crowd of spectators, and others
wrenehed the revolver away from him.
Great excitement prevailed. The crowd
dragged Luther into the middle of the
road. and there were loud cries Of
Lynch bimi'' kill him!" but the pa
troll wagon arrived before any serious
injury had been done to MIN.
During the first moments of excite
ment it was not known that any one
l. hoo
shot. 1t was subsequently learned that
Fred Luther,son of the murderous man,
was shot in the cheek, the ball coming
out at the middle of the neck. The
wound is not necessarily dangerous.
Herman Luther, the would-be assassin,
is PrusSian by birth, fifty-four years
old and tailor by trade.
