BELoIT, Wis, April 2O.-Two years
ago this summer, one June day, Mr..
and Mrs. Zarch were both found dead
on their farm in the town of GAINESVILLE.
The two had been dead some time be-
fore they were discovered, and, al
though suspicion at the time rested on
several parties, still convincing evil
dence was wanting. The cause of the
murder was supposed to be desire to
obtain large amounts of money which
were known to have been secured by
Zarch some where on his premises.
Great excitement was caused at the
time in this vicinity, and several
arrests were made. Among these was
boy. Wolhauster by name, who
was finally discharged for lack of evil
dence, but about whom the officers have
never felt satisfied. A false announce
ment of his rearrest was made some
time ago, his father and mother hav-
ing moved to South Mountains, Mich.
The case has remained thus until last
Monday, when suspicion was reawak-
ened by the sudden appearance of the
boys mother in JaneSville. The first
information received by the detectives
that anything was wrong was from a
Mrs. De Forrest, at whose house Mrs.
Walhaupter took tea. During the even
ing the latter was called out by caller,
and while she was gone one of the De
Forrest children accidentally opened
Mrs. Walhaupter's satchel, when there
fell out revolver, knife and 49,.
A LARGE ROLL OF BILLS.
Mrs. De Forrest at once reported dis
covery, and tits supposed now that Mrs.
Wolhaupter's business in the city was
to dig up and escape with more of the
hidden Zarch money. Tuesday morn
ing the suspected woman went to Madi
son, but returned late last evening and
registered at the hotel as Mrs. Win
thrOp. She then went out to make a
call, but on her return, at II o'clock,
found an officer waiting for her with a
warrant. On her way to Jail she denied
the De Forrest charge, and re-
marked that she hoped the
GAINESVILLE officers would get that
S2,5 reward, but was afraid they were
on the wrong track. When asked why
she was in GAINESVILLE, she replied that
she came to find whether her son was
under arrest, and in reply to sugges-
ton that she might have written, said
that she had missed several letters. At
the court hearing this morning a plea
of not guilty was entered, and Mrs.
Wolhaupter was remanded to Jail, an
adjournment being taken. Both sides
promise sensational developments. Mrs.
Wolhaupter is rather handsome
woman, but people seem ready to adj
nit the possibility of her guilt. The
Zarch premises have to-day been ran
sacked, and the officers claim to have
discovered where the money was hid
den. Mrs. Wolhaupter takes her arrest
as joke.

A Report that Merriam and McGill
Will Combine to Destroy Schef-
fer.
The spectators on political events
are pondering over what an alliance be-
tween McGill and Merriam against
Scheffer would amount to. Such COM
bination is not impossible, in view of the
inroads that Scheffer is said to be MAX
ing upon the strength of both of them.
Up to the present writing it looks as if
the McGill men had everything their
own way and that to defeat their candi-
date is an impOssibility. But if the Re-
publican convention is not held until
September, there may be a change for
the worse in the governors situation.
He might find it convenient then to ac-
cent Merriam's strength with the pledge
that he would do all that he could to
make the latter United States senator
next winter. This would involve, of
course, rupture of the present friendly
relations between Merriam and Sabin.
If showdown were to be had to-day
of Merriam's strength it probably would
net amount to much. His most effect
i've and telling work will undoubtedly
be performed on the delegations after
ties. How dangerous his strength is to
AIcGill or Scheffer will not be safe to
predict until the delegates are in st.
Paul. With all the sneering that is be-
ing done at Scheffer, it is asserted by
those who ought 10 know that now he
has more strength than Merriam. Should
the Republican state convention be held
very soon after the presidential cOnven-
ton, nothing seemingly can prevent
McGill's nomination. The influence he
has through the Offices he controls, the
interests of the men who occupy them,
the faultless construction of the machine
over which Loren Fletcher is the mas
ter-mind are all circumstances that are
imperatively demanding and enforcing
McGill's claim. Merriam may find it
profitable himself to make overtures for
an alliance. If he does not, his dash in
in state politics will have been short
and inglOriOuS.

BERLIN, April 21.-A dispatch from
Charlottenburg at midnight says the
emperor's condition is again critical.
He sleeps, but is feverish and breathes
heavily. The canula is constantly be-
coming obstructed, and is sometimes
changed at three-minute intervals. 1t
has been decided by the doctors to
issue bulletins at 8 o'clock in
the morning and at in the
evening. Drs. Mackenzie and Wegner
will watch by the bedside of the
emperor by day and Drs. KrauSe and
Hovel by night. The emperor's physi-
clans have requested that fewer visitors
be admitted to the sick chamber.
la. NIT is stated that the emperor
is worse than the last bulletin inti-
mated, but that there is no immediate
danger. The conflicting reports as to
the presence of py8mia 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 England it is applied
also to the milder form.

BERLIN, April 20.-The last twenty
four hours have revealed the eXtraordi
nary strength of the emperor's consti-
tuition. The patient has made such
progress that hopes for his recovery are
entertained if no unfavorable symptoms
develop. The doctors are reserved, but
they admit that he has improved in
manner which they had not dared to
hope for. The canula needs frequent

WINNIPEG, Man, April 20.-Corre-
spondence with respect to the Ottawa
delegation was brought down in the
Manitoba legislature at $50 p. m. to-
day. Sir John MacDonald's letter to
Premier Greenway, which has been the
topic of conjecture in the province for
some time, reads as follows:
To Hon. Thomas Greenway-Dear Sir:
AS you are obliged to leave Ottawa
soon, / take this opportunity of saying
that there is good prospect of legislation
by the Federal parliament during this
session, which will almost, if not en-
tirely, remove the reasons for the eXer-
else of power of diSallowance of your
provincial legislation with regard to
railways. Meanwhile, / would remind
you that the policy which has been pur-
sued in the past has, as stated by Sir
Charles Tupper and the minister of the
interior, been assumed to be a
temporary one; justified, in the first
place. by the necessity of secur-
ing the construction of an all rail
route through the Canadian territory;
and, in the second place, of protecting
reasonable period, and until the traffic
of the railway company will make large
expenditures to enable it to handle this
increased traffic. The administration
will not advise disallOwance of a bill
similar in principle to the act for the
construction of the Red River Valley
railway. The resources of Manitoba
and the territories had been sufficiently
developed. The great and unexpected
harvest of last season, and the increased
area proposed to be soWn this year,
prove that additional facilities for trans
port eastward of the agricultural
products of the Northwest will be re-
quired. Should the Canadian Pacific
branch railway to Emerson be
bought or leased by Manitoba, no legis-
lation will, suppose, be required
The document means that ManitobianS
can have the right to construct roads
connecting with the International bound
ary, in fact gives Manitoba all that she
has been contending for these many
years. 1t is reported here that as a re-
suit of the many conferences between
President Sutherland and members of
the Ottawa government the latter have
decided to grant handsome money
su bsidy of some thousands of dollars
per mile to the Winnipeg & Hudson
Bay railway. Stewart Upper, solicitor
for the company, is now on his way to
Ottawa to assist in drawing up the
agreements. 1t is hoped that the COM
pany will be in position to let con-
tracts for the prosecution of the work

The Alliance Endorsement OF
Scheffer Hard to Stomach by the

The Alliance Endorsement of
Scheffer Hard to Stomach by the
Farmers.
A vigorous correspondence is being
carried on just at present between vari-
GUS members of the different farmers
alliances throughout the state over the
Endorsement of Schetfer and what that
action bodies for the alliance as whole.
Outside of the executive committee the
general run of alliance opinion is against
him. The following letter is from a
member of the alliance to a st. Paul gen
tleman and deals interestingly with this
subject:
$50 it is your opinion that the in
dorsement of Messrs. Barrett, Boen,
Zurlang, Olson ct al. gives to Albert
Scheffer the twenty or thirty thousand
farmers votes that as an executive
board they represent? Let me tell you
MIR. that in the political history of
the state there never has been more
wantOn betrayal of the farmers inter-
eStS than this self-Same Endorsement.
We know down here that the indOrse-
ment does not represent the actual SELL
timents of the farmers of the state by a
long shot. The question of the alliance
nominating state ticket of its own has
been considered before and worked
against by the convention element of
the alliance. We have nothing to do
with politics as an alliance except to see
that we had proper number of repre-
SeIitativeS in the legislature. When
George Sprague tried to carry the salli
ance for Gilman he got left and so d d
Gibbs, and SO will Barrett, Boen and the
frest OF, them. In. consequence of the
| political work of schemers like these
the alliance has got into disgrace, and
as body can't poll 5000 votes this fall.
The individual members of the alliance
will vote the straight Democratic or Re-
publican tickets this fall and no other.
have no fault to find with Schetfer, ex-
| cept that somebody has fooled him
/ badly. The thing we are kicking
| against is that two or three men can
make it appear that all of us want a GER
( tain man for governor when we never
| thought of it. Barrett has done some
thing that will end in the destruction Of
| The forming of new alliances has

7 ming low, and the work among the
farmers is practically dead. You can't

ings now, except they have some
scheme to hatch like Barrett's. There
two or three of them put up the job and
it goes through, but it don't represent

but he's cranky and has big imagina-
/ ton and likes to talk. He isn't worth
an ear Of corn to organize, and he got
/ dragged into this Scheffer business
without any trouble. Boen has big
| ak to grind and Olson don't care what
happens just so he comes out on top.
You can see that they don't go for to
making up the backbone of the alliance.
| You can put it down any way you like
to that the alliance is gone up. The
Sprague-Gilman scheme caused the
biggest kind of split in it, and it's
never been closed. Keeps getting

VERY SIMPLE SERVICES.
Obsequies Of Mr.. Conkling at New
York and the Trip to Utica.

New YORK, April 2O.-Funeral SER
vices were held this morning in Trinity
chapel over the remains of Roscoe Conk-
ling. From early morning, dropping
rain-sodden flags hung at half-mast on
the city hall and numerous public build
ings, as well as private, reminded the
citizens of the metropolis that New
York was to bid farewell to-day to all
that remained of the distinguished
statesman and jurist whose presence
here had been so welcome to
the citizens. After leaving the
church the route of the funeral cor
tege lay through Twenty-ffth street to
Fifth avenue to Forty-fourth street,
and thence to the depot. A train of six
Wagner palace cars stood in waiting
alongside the western platform. At II
o'clock the procession reached the
Grand Central depot. The first car
riages contained the family and init
mate friends. In the other carriage
were the senatorial, congressional and
assembly delegations and the delega-
was placed in the buffet car, which was
also filled with choice floral offerings.
Secretary Fairchild was the bearer of
warm verbal messages of sympathy and
coincidence to Mrs. Conkling from Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland.
THE ARRIVAL AT UTICA.
UTICA, N. Y, April 20.-The special
train bearing the remains of Roscoe
Conkling arrived in this city at 6:45 this
evening. A large concourse of people
had assembled in the vicinity of the de-
pot. The weather was pleasant. The
casket was transferred from the funeral
car to the hearse, and it and five car
riages made up a simple procession to
the family residence on Rutger street.
At the house the casket was opened and
the remains were viewed by few init
mate friends of the family. The funeral
will take place tomorrow at 2 p. m. in
the Calvary Protestant Episcopal
church. Rev. A. B. Goodrich, d. D.,
officiating. The city is profusely dec
grated with mourning emblems, and the
sentiment of sorrow is as sincere as it is
general. All business places will be
closed during the funeral. The city is
filling up with prominent people from
abroad. At the residence this evening
a detail from the Twenty-eighth Separ-
ate company, Capt. Joseph III. Remmer,
acted as a guard of honor. President
Cleveland has sent box of rare and
beautiful flowers from the White house
conservatory.

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
The Grasshopper Promises to do
Much Damage Near Perham.

Much Damage Near Perham.
Special to the Globe.
PERHAM, Minn., April 20.-The grass
hopper scare of last autumn promises
to be repeated this year with large adj
ditions. On the prairie surrounding
this village few crops were left
for the farmers to harvest last fall, and
it is feared that the eggs which were de-
posted at that time will bring forth
more 'hoppers in 1888 than have been
seen since the old ''grasshopper days"
of 1878. Three years ago a few
were seen on vacant land near
the village. In 1856 they had in
creased enough to cover two or three
acres. The ratio of increase continued,
and 5000 acres were covered by them IN
1887. 1t is, therefore, reasonable
fear that looks forward to the devasta-
ton of hundreds of thousands OF acres
in 1888. A great many grasshoppers
have already Matched out this spring: or
late last fall, and are to be seen hopping
about now that the snow is gone, and
many of those who weathered the
1878 plague say this was precisely
the state of things that preceded that.
On the other hand. some of the old resi-
dents assert that the eggs were de-
posted SO early last fall that the grass,
hoppers will all have hatched out and
taken wings before the 1888 crops are
big enough for them to feed on. Be-
tween these two opinions the village
and neighboring farmers are divided,
and wait with a great deal OF anxiety
for the developments of the sum-
mer. There is no question that
the 'hoppers are the genuine
gregarious, migratory, predatory and
demoniac kind that raised perdltlon
here ten years ago, and not the ordinary
field grasshopper. The differences are
so marked that anybody who has had a
chance to compare the two species can
never mis- take one for the other.

Robert M. Neill, an alleged Presby-
