MURDnRED HER CHILDREN.
Terrible Deed of a Mother Crazed BY

Terrible Deed of a Mother Crazed BY
Want and Persecution.
New York, March 24.-This morning n
woman came into the police headquarters
and announced that she had killed two of
her children and the third was dying. Her
nameis Mrs. Liebkurehener, and she told n
pitiful story of poverty and persecution,
which caused her TO end the lives of her
children. She used Rough on Rats.
Mrs. Liebkurehener is only thirty-four
years old. Ten years ago she married Jacob
Liebkurehencr, then a wealthy brewer. He
was a widowcr with grown-up children, who
protested against his second marriage.
Finally Licbkurehcner's brewery failed, and
the split in the family widened.
The old man stuck to his young
wife and started n saloon, which also
failed, on account of his ill.health.
When he died two years ago his life insur-
ance all went to his first children and the
second wife had to support her three children
by %scrubbing and washing.
Her earnings were not sufficient to keep
the children and sometime ago she took
the two Oldest boys to the river and
jumped in with them, but they
were rescued and the children sent
to a juvenile asylum. About four weeks ago
she succeeded i'll getting the children back
from the asylum on false pretenses and being
west had been provided for them by the
authorities, she determined to kill them.
She insists she is not insane and is content to
hang for her crime.

makes public tonight a very long statement
in reply to General Badeau's address to the
American people upon the controversy which
has arisen between General Badeau and the
family of the late General Grant. Colonel
Grant says it is his last word in the matter
prior to the hearing of theocase in extense.
Under the circumstances, sherefore. he goes
over much ground which has already been
covered, chiefly in the negotiation with a
view to the settlement of the case without
resort to the courts, to the personal demon
stration of Badeau and to arguments going
to show that Badeau's services were of a
much less important character than Badeau
claims they were. Nearly all of Badeau's
most prominent assertions are denied.

LONDON, March 24-TNew York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE. Private tele-
grams received here toward midnight from
New York surprised the clubs and not a few
gossips by making inquiries as to the extent
of the queens melancholia, and whether it Is
true that the Prince of Wales was to be APP
pointed regent. 1t would seem from the
tenor of at least one telegram shown here at
this office that some hoax must have been
perpetrated in America. No such sugges-
ton has been made here and melancholia is
deemed the least probable disorder coming
to Queen Victoria.
To make assurance doubly sure, however,
due inquiries were made, and semi-oflcial
assurances have Just been given me in the
proper quarter that while the queen has been
pardonably anxious, and perhaps nervous,
over the death Of Emperor William and the
accession of her daughter as an empress, she
is in excellent health. One who saw her at
her departure fairly laughed at the question.
The European edition of the Herald this
morning gives an account of her passage
through Paris and presents on its first page
an engraving of the villa and its surround
ings of which the queen, as appears from the
evening dispatches, has low taken possess
ion. She was welcomed at the station at
