DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 26.-Mr. and
Mrs. Zieus, a young couple who have
been married seven months, went to the
Turner Society bail last night. Mrs.
Zieus is of a Jealous temperament, and is
disposed to allow the green eyed monster
to overcome her better nature every time
her husband associates in the least with
other women. Last night she tried to re-
strain him from dancing with another wo-
man although they were but ordinary ac-
quaintances. She said she would kill her
self if he danced With anybody else. The
threat did not disturb the husband, who
thought it nothing but ohildishnes5. This
morning Mrs. Zieus carried out her threat
and took a dose of strychnine, dying be-
fore a doctor could reach her. Her hus-
band is Frustrated with grief. She was a
pretty woman about 20 years old.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Paramount Park Furnishes a
Whitechapel Mystery.
Discovery of the Mutilated
Remains of a German.
No Clue to the Perpetrators Of
the Crime.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ga party of
boys while playing in East Paramount
park to-day in the vicinity of the new
city reservoir found two bundles in a Sec
ton of the new thirty-six inch water
main stored there, which were the mutt
lated remains Of a human body. Eyi
IDENTIFY a most horrible murder has been
committed. The legs had been cut off
close to the trunk, the left one having
been cut with a sharp knife and had been
sawed through. The other leg was like
wise cut and the bone was partly sawed.
On the trunk were three shirts. the outer
one being made of dark flannel. A leath
er strap was around the waist. The arms
were not severed from the body, but were
tied in front at the wrists with a stout
cord. The head was crushed in a horri-
bic manner at the back and there were
three terrible knife wounds on the side of
the face. The left jaw was also broken.
The body is evidently that OF a German,
probably about IS years of age. Near the
place where the bundles were placed was
found a portion of a newspaper dated
Dec. 5, the appearance of which indicated
that it had been used for the purpose OF
wiping up the blood. On the margin of
the paper was written in English 1.-THE
writing being evidently that of a GERMANY
the words: ''Kohler Helab, Boboken
hotel" and right under this, Mrs" re-
peated several times. A portion of an
other newspaper stained with blood was
also found. There are wagon tracks all
around the spot, but the police are of the
opinion that they were made by wagons
hauling the material used in the reservoir.
The tracks, however, appear to have been
made by a wheelbarrow and those, ~investi-
eating the case are hopeful that this may
prove a clue to aid them in unravelling
the mystery which now surrounds the
crime.
late last night a gardener living on the
border of tie park near where the re-
mains were found, was awakened by the
furious barking of his dog. BE seized
his revolver aud ran out doors. He saw
an object moving from the direction of
the park and hailed it. Receiving no re-
ply he went to the Reservoir hotel and
told the proprietor, John Hinst. who also
went out into the darkness and saw a
man walking from the direction of the
reservoir. He called to the man to halt,
but this command received no attention,
and the mysterious visitor to the park
disappeared in the darkness.
The spot where the ghassly remains
were found Is a very lonely one and at
this time of the year is seldom or ever
visited by anyone, and the police there
fore think the parties seen by Hinst and
the gardener are connected with the crime
which led to the placing of the body in
that neglected portion of the park.

A Destructive Blaze.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Dec. 26.-Last
nights fire burned over an area of twelve
acres. The buildings surrounding the
one in which the fire started were wooden
shells and it seemed as if everywhere q
spark fell fire started. In fifteen minutes
from the time the first alarm was rung,
the entire business portion was a sea of
flames. Assistance was summoned from
Lynn, Salem and Swampscott and these
quickly responded. Il is estimated that
the loss is between $500, 900 and
5000, 0C0. The entire shoe manufactur-
ing district, the principal business OF the
town. was burned to the ground. Fully
sixty buildings were consumed.
The flames spread with such raplditY
that scarcely anything was saved. The
tenants residing in the dwelling houses
were completely cleaned out. After lick
ing up the great shoe factories, sheds,
fruit stands and small tenement houses
were consumed with rapidity. 1t seemed
as ii the entire town was doomed. By this
time help arrived.
The city is flooded with strangers from
all the surrounding towns. At 3 o'clock
the t-e was under control. This stolid
old bug in June, 1887, was visited by
fire, when swept over nearly the same
district. During the progress of the
present fire several explosions were heard.
Fully 900 workmen are thrown out of
employment. The number of buildings
consumed is estimated at between fifty
and sixty. The loss is between $500. 600
and 5000, 900.
The most reliable estimates of the to-
tai losses are $500 and 1000 or more
men thrown out of employment and
many families are temporary homeless.
Thirty-seven structures we're destroyed.
Thirteen were dwelling houses, twelve
shoe factories and thirteen miscellaneous.
So quickly did the flames spread that
whole blocks we're ruined in fifteen min
utes. Its now estimated hat between
eight and niue acres were burned over.
Chas. Choate, who broke his leg by jump
ing from a second story window is the
only injured person so far reported. The
heat on all sides was so intense that the
curbstoues were cracked and crumbled
ard car rails were twisted out of shape.
The water supply was inadequate. None
of the manufacturers think it possible to
rebuild this winter and there is a general
feeling of depression in the town.

A Cold Snap.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-The signal service
predicts a fall of l50 to 20o before morn
ing. Heavy snow and windstorm prevails
at Cedar Rapids, In.
As far as Lcard from the storm extends
throughout Iowa, Northwestern Nebraska
and part of Kansas. Throughout most
OF this region a wet snow is falling. In
the neighborhood of Kansas. City it has
taken the form of sleeL. About. noon to-
day telegraphic service between this city
aud Kansas City was almost entirely
FRUSTRATED. Since then some improve
ment has taken place.
DES MONIES, Dec. 26.-Snow began
falling about 10 o'clock and has continued

much impeded. The temperature is fall
ing.
KANSAS City, Dec. 26.-Last nights
sleet and now worked havoc among the
wires. The Geographic companies es.
capped with the usual endorsements of
delay and roundabout service. The cleo
trio light company loses $500 and the
railroads suffer temporary Inconvenience.
The heaviest loser is the telephone COM
pany. which estimates its loss at $40, 900.
To night it is growing colder aud the
snowfall has ceased.

Many Thousands Thrown AWAY,

SAULT ST. MARIE, Mich, Dec. &c.
The recent brief statement that the Lake
Superior Copper Mining company of
London bad wound up its affairs, recalls
the marks left by this company all around
the shores of Lake Superior, and on
some of the islands in it there are de-
serted workings. surrounded by decaying
buildings in which once teemed industry
at the improbable expense of English
capital. One of these deserted mines is
at Mamainse, a picturesque spot on the
north shore Of Lake Superior, about fifty
miles from here. A solitary Waterman
keeps lonely vigil, his only companion a
faithful dog; his only visitors a stray bear
or caribou. It Is from this place, long
since deserted, the Lake Superior Native
Copper company has officially withdrawn.
The properly was first operated upon by
the Quebec and Lake Superior Mining
Association. In 1881 their representa-
tive visited London aud succeeded in In
teresting Frazier Kay, a wealthy gentle.
man, who organic d the present company
with himself at the head. Immediately
after Rays company was formed it en-
tered upon a series of wonderful extrava-
gances. Large buildings, elegant offices,
expensive machinery, including a stamp
mill, were erected.
Every effort was made to make a show
so that foreign directors, when they Wis
tied the property, would at once see evil
dences C their wealth. Three or four
shafts were sunk, 10000 tons of rock
were crushed, and about this time the di.
rectors were presumptiye enough to ex
pect some sort Of a dividend, or at least a
cessation of the milking process. Moth,
ing of the kind resulted, and then assess-
ments failed to come in and the incon q of
the property was nothing. Debts were
made that could not be paid, and the
company became involved in continual
litigation. After three years of active
work, during a part of which time be-
tween 400 and 500 men were employed,
the property was abandoned, some Of the
many claims against the company were
settled, aud in all oyer 800, 600 in cash
was paid out, without any return. Sew
eral suits we're begun against the company
in the courts of this city. The final liq-
uidation is said to have been decided upon
recently, to avoid a large claim held by
the original company,

Mrs. Parsons Shut Off.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2G.-Handbills were
widely distributed to-day announcing that
Mrs. Lucy Parsons, vile Of the executed
anarchist, would lecture in Waverly hall
to night. One OF the bills was handed o
Chief of Police Hubbard, who sent Lieut..
Llughlin to Mr.. Lawrie, proprietor of Il 9
hall, with instructions to.order him not TO
Dpen the place. Mr.. Lawrie was not sat
isied with the message and called imme-
iiately upon the chief.
M shall send an officer to you to night"
said the chief to Laurie, who will de-
mand the KEY of the hall from you. He
will then station a policeman at the door,
who will forbid admission to the hall.
You are perfectly helpless in the matter
and any responsibility there is will be
upon the police
The wording of the subject of the lee.
ture was a trif1e ambiguous in that it
might include any or all phases of anar
chy and socialism. There was no doubt
in the minds of the police that Mrs. Par
SONS intended to say something to cause
her arrest. Said Chief Hubbard:
Mrs. Parsons can advertise herself all
she pleases, but we will not help her to do
it. We have private information that
she intended to make a violent anarchist
harangue. Then we would have been
compelled to arrest her, and you can be
sure that it would have been magnified in
every way by the anarchists in their in
junction suit to morrow. The attempted
lecture was simply for effect. It is well
known that Mrs. Parsons can't refrain
from talking of anarchy if she gets a
chance, and we will not experiment with
her farther. She simply can't speak in
Chicago"
