VIC rOHIA,s VISIT.
The Queens Arrival mt Berlin
Received by the Emperor.

Received by the Emperor.
BERLIN, April 24.-Queen Victoria
arrived at Charlottenberg at 8 O'Clock
this morning. The Empress, Grown
Prince and Grown Princess of Sake
Meiningen received her at the depot.
Prince Henry and his sisters, the
Princesses Victoria, Sophia and Mar.
garet, Sir Edward Malet, the British
Ambassador at Berlin, the Duke Of
Rutland, and the Burgomaster and
Municipal Council of Berlin were also
present. The greetings between
Queen Victoria and the royal family
of Germany were warm. The Crown
Prince conducted the Queen to an
open carriage drawn by four horses,
which she entered, and with the EN-
press beside her was driven to the
castle.
Crowds of people lined the route
and cheered enthusiastically as the
carriage passed. The Queen paid q
visit to the Emperor shortly after her
arrival at the castle. The doctors
feared that the meeting would excite
the Emperor and probably upset him,
but their fears were groundless. The
Emperor seemed rather bright after
the interview and his temperature
was more normal.
NEWSPAPER COMMENT.
The North German Gazette, referring
to the visit of the Queen of England,
says: "Her Majesty will be welcomed
by the whole population of Germany,
and, above all, by the inhabitants Of
Berl n, with the veneration and SYM
pathy SO justly due to one who has for
SO many years ruled friendly state,
and who is the mother of our Empress.
All German hearts will thankfully &C
cept, as token of the Queens deep
sympathy for the fate of our reigning
house, the fact that she comes to the
sick bed of our beloved Emperor and
personally shares the deep affliction
and deep anxiety with which we are
filled to-day. May she be enabled to
bring comfort and hope, and when
she departs from Germany to take
with her the assurance that the SYM
pathy she has displayed will always
be kept in grateful remembrance
here!"
HOW SHE SPENT THE DAY.
BERLIN, April 24.-Queen Victoria
and the Empress drove out with the
Prince and Princess Of Sake Meinin-
gen. The streets were crowded and
the Queen and Empress were greeted
with enthusiasm. The Queen made
three visits to the sick room Of the
Emperor, who is keeping his bed until
he gets stronger. He has been
in excellent spirits and had
several refreshing maps. The
meeting between Queen Victoria
and her daughter, the Empress, this
morning, was very touching. They
embraced and kissed each other re-
peatedly. The Queen went immedi-
ately to see the Emperor and was
astonished and delighted to find him
looking better than she expected.
She will depart tomorrow unless the
Emperor should have a relapse.

abused his wife shamefully. They
lived in Newburg county, and he deci-
ded to move into spartanburg county,
as he said, for the benefit oil his wiie's
health. He took the Boland woman
along, and the three set out in two.
horse wagon for Spartanburg. After
travelling for three dnys they halted one
night in Spartanburg county and camped
out. The wife died that night in camp.
There were several families living a few
minutes walk from where they we're
camping, but no one was sent for until
the woman was dead. Sem had no
medicine, except laudanum, for his
wife. The body bore marks of violence.
The next day Sem and his paramour
buried the corpse and went on their
way. The case was under trial for two
days, and resulted in n verdict OF guilty,
with strong recommendation to mercy.

Last night at Moundsyille was the
occasion OF the greatest effort OF
the Democratic party in Marshall
county to make anything like a
creditable street demonstration. Great
preparations had been made by the
home Democrats, and invitations were
sent out to Wheeling, Benwood, Bell
aire, Cameron and other points, ur-
gently asking for help. The intended
magniticence OF the parade had kept the
average Democratic mind busy piCtur-
ing the surprise they would carry into
the Republican ranks OF that strong
hold Of Republicanism. The Pen:
itentiary was brilliantly illuminated
and transparency swung across
the street in front, which bore the in.
scription: "Cleveland, Thurman and
Fleming" It was remarked that not q
single inscription bore the name Of their
candidate for Congress in this district;
not one voice spoke for that famous

But the visitors got in about half.past

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Oct. 25.-WilIis
@. Hall, foreman of the West Virginia
Printing Company's bindery, this city,
committed suicide last night about half
past nine o'clock by drinking oxalic
acid. Monday morning he left the
bindery and was not seen again until
yesterday morning. He went to work,
but was observed to be in very ner-
yous and excitable condition. It was
his custom to work several hours after
night. About a:20 o'clock r. S, Collins,
pressman OF the establishment, noticed
him acting strangely and asked him
what was wrong. He replied that peo.
pie on the street wanted to kill him and
said he wanted to 90 somewhere where
they could not find him. Capt. ALI w.
Burnett, Mr.. Collins and s. O. Butler
persuaded Hall to go to the st. Albert
hotel. On the way he stopped and
yomited several times, but refused to
take any steps to produce further yom-
iting, remarking to Mr.. Burnett: "This
is all right, this is suicide" Reaching
the hotel he was laid on the bed. DR..
Evans was called and responded prompt
ly, but before he could give relief life
was extinct.
Hall was 35 years old and came from
Cincinnati. He had been quite promi-
nent in local politics there, having been
engaged as speaker during the cam.
paign OF 1878 by the Republican county
committee. He was also candidate for
the Legislature before the Republican
convention OF Hamilton county in 1879.
The remains were sent to Cincinnati for
interment.

SUNK IN A CYCLONE.
A Survivor of a Ship Wreck
Gives the Terrible Details,
BUT TWO ON BOARD SAVED
To Tell the story-Capt. John Evert
of Boston, Relates His Thrilling
Experience or the Coast
of Turks Island.

New YoRK, Oct. 25.-Captain John
Evert, OF Brooklyn, with one exception
the only survivor OF the wrecked bark
silas Fish, sunk in cyclone off Turks
Island on September 2, was an invalid
passenger on the steamer ozama from
Turks Island yesterday morning. The
Captain told last evening how he was
snatched almost from the jaws Of death.
The Silas Fish left Boston on Septem-
Der 24, 1887, for Monteveideo, and
touched at several South American ports.
From Para she went to East Harbor,
Turks Island, and loaded with salt for
this city. On board the Fish when she
left East Harbor, besides the regular
crew Of ten men, were Pilot Robert
Clark and three passengers: ]. ]. Firth,
a merchant at Grand Turk, his son Mar
shall and Mr.. Kelly. The bark arrived
off Grand Turk on the evening OF Sep
tember l, last. During the night gale
arose, and it was impossible TO make the
harbor in the morning. Then an ineGectu-
nj attempt was made to make the
riding Turk, and finally the bard was
headed through the south channel, TAX
ing for three hours south by west
course. This only served to bring her
almost directly in the path OF cyclone.
Her top sails were blown away; then,
as the wind shifted to the north and
blew at therate Of sixty miles an hour,
the fore lower top-sAil and fore stay.sail
were carried away, the cargo shifted to
starboard and the vessel broached to-.
The new jibe was hoisted, but 1t blew
into ribbons. The maintop sail then
blew Oft the gaskets and was followed
by every available sail except the miz-
zen stay.sail and shanker An attempt
was made to get the vessels stern to the
sea by means OF drag and then to cut
away the fore and main rigging.
The effort was in vain, for she
heeled over still more and the spare
spars on the deck broke loose
and battered out the bulwarks, while
waves washed her decks.
She was settling fast, when suddenly
the main deck was seen to waVer and
IOTCeu up ny Iue pressure Vi
water and air between decks, and a sec
ond later she lurched to starboard and
went down. The captain was drawn
under by the suction, but he grasped n
OF wreckage as he rose to the
surface. He saw Mate McCollum for
and sailor named Daniel
Brown who was clinging to chest, but
who afterward let 60 and sank. The
captain managed to get onto a piece of
the frewood house. He was joined by
Quinton Paul, French seaman, and
after drifting for two days and nights
they were cast ashore at Goods Hill,
Turks Island, a most rocky coast. A
negro cared for the captain, who was
nearly dead, and he finally got to Grand
Turk, where the American consul Sc
cured him passage on the ozama.

ASALTPALACR PROTECTED.


Novel idea to BE Carried Out in Salt Lake
City.
SALT LAKE CRY, UTAH, Oct. 25.-The
project for salt palace in this city is
taking shape, and the prospect is that it
will be carried out successfully.
The plan is to erect the wooden frame
and then bring in salt from the lake to
to be made into saturated solution in
tank near the building, and then spray
this solution all over it, inside and out.
The spraying method Of treatment will
be found more desirable, according to a
local chemist, because cry yltallization at
the lake would leave good deal of soda
sulphate in the salt, which deliquesces
on exposure to the mir and would
destroy the fine, crystallized appearance
OF the salt. In salt making, however,
the sodium and sulphate salts are sep.
agated, leaving the latter behind, SO that
dissolVing the commercial article would
insure more lasting effects AS for the
rock salt, the finest and most transpar.
ent rock in all sizes can be cut out in the
quarries near the Navada border. The
use OF the sea weed, or kelp, is advocated
in the Palace Grotto. The cost OF the
palace would be about $4,000. The be.
lief is that it would pay as well us The
ice palaces in Montreal and st. Paul.

FoRT BuroRD. OAK, Oct. 25.-Re-
ports BY courier from the Cheyenne
reservation, seventy.five miles south,
are to the effect that unless aid is soon
extended to them by the Government,
great numbers OF the Cheyennes will die
Of starvation. The Indians are INSULT
ciently rationed and clothed, and the
lack OF sufficient food has resulted in
much sickness, especially among the
older members OF the tribe, who are nn-
able to 20 out in search OF food. The
young bucks, owing the scarcity OF
game, are unable to supply the wants OF
the sick and helpless, and are leaving
them all to die. All OF these Indians
should receive rations from the Berthold
agency, on the west bank OF the Mis-
souri, and south OF the fort. Within the
last month numerous bands OF Che
yennes, twenty or thirty in number, and
comprising bucks, women and children,
have come to Fort Buford begging for
food to keep them alive. Forts Buiord
and Keogh ore constantly besieged by
these bands Of starving Indians, and Col.
