WILKEsBARRE, Pa, April Ga startling
story was told in the mayors office here last
evening Charles Engle, a reputable citizen
OF the second ward, swore that at meeting
of Hungarians held Tuesday night, it was re-
solved by them that three men, two Irish
and one German, who reside i'll the vicinity
and who gave evidence against the riotous
Hungarians, who were arrested and fined on
Monday, should be put to death.
The meeting was secret, but Hungarian
who was present, told Oh the conspirators
The plan adopted was to go to the houses of
the doomed men on a certain night and kill
them in bed. The chairman of the meeting
selected twenty volunteers for the work.
The names of only few of the conspira-
tors could be ascertained, and for the arrest
of these, warrants were speedily issued One
Hungarian who gave his name as Andrew
Olistnan, was taken into custody at an
early hour. Officers are after the others
and may arrest them before morning. This

door and pushed her out. Here she fell to
the ground, and he then, planting his heels
on her breast, deliberately cut her throat,
severing the jugular She managed to get
to her feet, and staggered into the street,
where she fell dead at the feet Of few spec
tators, who had been attracted by her
screams.
Howe went into the house and waited for
the officers He did not resist Within an
hour a crowd of one hundred people had as
sembled around the Jail, and lynching was
freely talked of. The sheriff fought off the
mob as best he could, but at o'clock in the

Blair. The following extract voices
the very general opinion Of the free
press Of America on the subject, =
SOME Of the anti-Blair bill editors, in
atrocious taste, are brag gging and
chuchling over the pigeon -holing of
the measure by the packed commit
tee on education Of the ..house. The
packed committee was an outrage;
its conduct in refusing the house an
opportunity to vote on the bill is in
famous. After full and free con-
vass the people of the South would
vote on the question squarely presen>
ted tive to one on the bill; a majeri-
ty of Southern senators favored the
bill, and a great majority of the press
that is intelligent and use full is in
the affirmative. We say advisedly
that to pigeon hold bill in house
committe that has three times passed
the senate by large majorities and
has enormous, general, intelligent
public support. is an infamy for
which the perpetrators should be
held to stern account"

Emperor William had simple, sunny
manners. But he was not an inter-
esting man to talk to outside special
subjects, because he had not much
conversation. In this respect he con-
trasted with Bismarck, who can be a
delightful boon companion, because
he has so much to say, and says it in
such an original way, he having the
rough diamond sort of brilliancy.
Williams countenance went long
way in giving charm to his address,
whereas the countenance of his
Chancellor has soften CLEANS
of savage ferocity, and shows
that the cunning of q wild animal
can be united to intellect. At different
times, and on notewo thy occasion,
saw both master and man together.
William was much more puzzle to
me than Bismarck. There were mo-
ments when he struck me as being
somewhat the .faur bonhomn,e, and
then | thought that he had tender
conscience, and left things as much as
he did to his Chancellor go as to
be able to cheat it. He liked to be
on good terms with Providence, to be
true to his principles, and to set a
good moral, as we'll as military exam
pie to his armed nation. 1t was not
he, but Bismarck, you will observe,
who violated the divine-right princi-
