Mysterious Poisoning.

Special TO the Globe.
MASON CITY, To-. March 12.-Satur-
day evening as the family of III. l..
Brown, consisting of wife, six children
and hired man, were seated around
the supper table, they were all taken
violently sick, and in less than an hour
Mr.. Brown and one of his children
were dead. The seven remaining are
now very low, and it is thought that
they cannot recover. No cause is as
signed. The news reached here this
morning and the matter will be investi-
gated at once. Mr.. Brown stood high
in the estimation of his neighbors, and
while some think that they partOOk of
poisoned food, more believe that it was
by designing hand.

religious community or creed. Every one
of them stands equally near my heart.
for all have shown equally complete de-
vOtion in times of danger. In agree
ment with views of my imperial father,
| shall warmly support all efforts calcn-
lated to improve economical prosperity
of different classes of society, to cOncili-
ate their opposing interests, and, as far
as it is in my power, to provost unavoid-
able perplexity without, however, rails
ing expectations as though it were pos
sible to end all ills of society
by state Intervention. Closely bound
up with social questiOns,I regard that Of
education of youth. Efforts to this end
must be on higher scale and more easily
accessible. We must avoid Gre
ucation and awakening demands
which economical powers of the nation
cannot satisfy. We must also be care
full that through One-sided efforts for in
creased knowledge the task of education
shall not remain neglected. Only the
generation growing up upon sound
basis,
IN FEAR OF GOD,
and in simplicity of morals can possess
sufficient rising power to overcome
dangers, which in time rapid economi-
cal movement arise for the entire COM
munity through examples set by highly
luxurious individuals. 1t is my will
that no opportunity be lost in the
public service to offer every
opposition to the temptation of dispr0-
portiOnate and improper expendi-
lures. My unbiased consideration is that
every proposal of financial reform be
assured in advance. Unless long proved
economy in Prussia will not permit the
avoidance of the. imposition OF
an alienation of the demands
government granted to the greater and
lesser communities in the state, con-
slider beneficial. On the other hand, l
would suggest for examination of the
question whether right of levying
taxes conferred upon these cOmmun-
tiles, which is exercised by them
WITHOUT SUFFICIENT REGARD
for the burden simultaneously imposed
by the empire and my state. may not
weigh unfairly upon individuals. In
like manner it will have to be considered
whether, in simplifying matters, change
in organizing authorities whereby re-
ductiOn in the number of officials
would permit increase of their emolu-
mentS, should we succeed in maintain
ing in their strength the basis of the
state and social life. 1t will specially
crafty me to bring to its full develop
ment the blossom which German art and
science shows so rich measure for
realizing. These are my intentions,
and counting upon your we'll proved de-
votlon, and on the support of your tried
eXerence, may it be vouchsafed me
thus, with the unanimous cooperation
of the organs of the empire and de-
voted activity of representatives of the
people. as well as all officials, and the
trustful collaboration of all classes
of population, to lead Germany
and Prussia to new hOnors in do
main, in pacific development. Careless
of splendOr and glorious achievement L
shall be content if iU can be hereafter
said OF my government that it has been
beneficial to my people, useful to my
country and blessing to my empire.

Future Course of Germany.

LONDON. March 12.-The Russian and
the French newspapers devote more
space than those of any other nation to
speculations on the probable future
course OF Germany. The st. Petersburg
press is especially active in this particu-
lar. The opinion in that capital proves
to be that if Frederick lives for any
reasonable length of time there will be
a marked change in the German policy,
and one favorable to Russia and her
schemes. Frederick is believed by the
Russians to be opposed to Prince Bis
marck's scheme of alliance against the
car. 1t is felt that even if the illness
of the emperor deprives him of the
energy or prestige required to over
throw BiSmarck'S aScendency, his
wishes will be sufficient to prevent any
Warlike action, and matters will remain

MONOTONOUS WAITING.
The Situation in Chicago BecOm-

CHICAGO, March 12.-The strike of
the brotherhood of Engineers and Fire
men on the Chicago, Burlington d
Quincy was more mOnOtOnOus than ever
here to-day, and neither side had word
of information to impart concerning it.
Everybody seems to be waiting for the
result of the application which is being
argued before Judge Gresham before
making another move, and it is con-
coded Cd all sides that the decision,
whatever it may be, will have an i'm
pOrtant bearing on the issue of the
strike: In the meantime the grievance
committees of the Eastern roads are ar
irving in the city to-day to confer on
the question of what should be the ac-
ton OF the brotherhood OH the roads
represented by them in case the officials
OF those roads should continue to re-
ceive and deliver Burlington freight,
but it is not expected they will take any
definite action until Judge Gresham's
decision is announced. RumorS are
current of the switchmen and
brakemen on the Burlington system
that they are taking a hand in
the fight, but they are of the
vaguest kind and can be traced to no
authoritative source. The grievance
committee of engineers and firemen on
the Fort Wayne road arrived in the city
at $50 this morning. Pittsburg, Toledo,
Crestline and Fort Wayne are repre-
Sented in the committee. Some of the
switchmen Oh the Fort Wayne road

Surprised the Attendants.

LONDON. March 12.-The emperor,
upon entering the schl0ss at Charlotten-
burg, surprised the attendants by the
erectness of his bearing and the light
ness of his step. He bore the appear
ance of man in good health. He stood
for moment at the entrance to shake
hands with Sir Edward Malet, the
British ambassador, who was the only
stranger present. He then threw open
his military Overcoat and assembled the
stairway with firm tread. The officers
present were no less delighted than
surprised, and did not conceal their
qualification. If the emperor was play
ing part he carried out the role to per-
lection. There was not a trace of weak
ness or of pain visible.

Coroner FOrtien decided, after visiting
the remains of Joseph Fisher, Ger

alton Saturday night and was beheaded
by the cars, that an inquest was not

the deceased to take the body to ST.

The unfortunate man was seventy years
old, who, with his wife, came to Royal

for the mishap, and the officials did all
they could to alleviate the sorrow it
caused.

Third Avenue Elevated ran into the

shortly after z o'clock this morning at
the Seventy-siXth street station. The
rear end of the forward train partly
telescOped the car preceding it. The
engine of the rear train was wholly
demolished and the engineer instantly
killed. The passengers, as far as
learned, escaped with only few bruises.
The binding snow storm which pre-
vailed made it impossible to.see any dis

AT WASHINGTON.
The Center of a Miniature Cyclone
1.-The Worst Storm Ever known.

WASHINGTON, March 12-The storm
that visited Washington yesterday was
one of the most remarkable known for
years, in fact the capital seemed to have
been the center of miniature cyclone
that brought with it a binding success
sion of rain, snow, wind and cold. In
the early hours of the day the cutters
ran high, and in many low places the
sewers were blocked, thus flooding the
streets. The heavy rain continued until
about o'clock in the afternoon, when
it turned to a binding snow, which
stuck to everything it touched and
turned to ice. AS the night fell the
heavily, laden telegraph wires began to
come down, and in many places the
streets were blockaded with them so
that street cars had to turn around and
make partial trips. The police wires
were out of order, and to add to the dis
comfort of the night, the electric lights
began to fail. By midnight the city
was almost in darkness save for few

BERLIN, March 12.-The coffin con-
tanning the remains of the late emperor
is covered with purple velvet with gold
ornaments. On each side of the cata-

lighted wax tapers. Tabourets covered

placed at the feet. Emperor Frederick

His condition appears satisfactory. His
