MADDEN, Mo-, April 5.-One of the
most horrible tragedies that ever occurred
in this county was enacted last night.
There is a social club DON here in which
the gentlemen of the town assemble to
pass away. the evenings. IT. j. Rice, a
former saloonkeeper, was one of the
habitues, and going to the room in the
evening found K. IL. McHaney, who
employed Rice as a barkeeper. On en-
terlng the room Rice remarked to Nc.
Haney, II have taken more abuse to-
day than [ ever took from any man.
and commenced shooting at McHaney.
The first shot hit him in the head, inhict
ing a scalp wound. The next shot took
effect in the back between the shoulders.
The last shot entered lust above the left
hip and passed ont at the small of the
back. Rice her ran out the back way,
and when about a block distant away,
turned the pistol on himself and shot
himself through the head. McHaney is
still alive, and hopes are entertained Of
his recovery. Rice was unmarried, and
has for some time been considered a dan
gerous man.

Excitement in Ireland.

LONDON. April 5.-The proclamation
of the National League meetings to be
held at Loughrea and other places in
County Clare ncxt Sunday has created
more excitement in Ireland than is usually
aroused by such official acts. Mr.. O'Brien
is announced to speak at Loughrca, Mr..
Davitt at Ennis, and other Irish leaders
elsewhere In the proclaimed district, and
it is believed that attempts will be made
to hold the meetings in spite of the pro
clamation. If they are attempted there
will certainly be trouble. as already the
government is making extensive prepare
tions to enforce the executive decree, and
Mr.. O'Brlen's chances of spending anoth-
er season in Jail are second to those of no
man IN Ireland.

CHARLES CITY. Ia, April 5.-Ihe
wreck on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad some claim was caused by
ice ON the track, while others claim it was
by the spreading OF the rails. The en-
gln jumped the track first, and the bag
gage car and tender plunged over the en-
gun into the water. The smoker struck
on top Of the engine and was badly
smashed. The engine is entirely under
water and the baggage car is almost GOV
cred with water.
There were about thirty people in the
smoker. -Four were killed sa far as
known, besides the engineer, who was
crushed between the cab and the smoker.
The fireman escaped unhurt.
There were about twcnty-fi 7e to thirty
Wounded, though none fatally. The be-
lief is that three or more bodies are yet
under the wreck. The ~bagsagemen and
route agent escaped through a window
without much injury. The names of the
dead that have been learned are as fol-
lows:
NJ. Anders IN, G. Searens. J. Daniels,
James Sragel, engineer, of Mitchell, ID.
r.; Dora Heidicker, a little girl, about 4
years old.
The names of two of the wounded only
can be obtained, that of Mr.. o. B Allen
and II. Searens, both of Nora Springs.
A Chicago travelling man and the con
ductor kept the passengers quiet till they
could help them out. The %woupdcd are
mostly burned from the engine. The
mails and baggage are in the river. Three
physicians from Northampton and three
from Charles City are doing all they can
for the wounded.

Diplomatic Circles in Berlin
Somewhat Excited
Over the Threatened Resigna-
ton of Bismarck.
AleXander's Proposed Marriage
the Cause.

BERLIN, April 5.-Thc Cologne Ga
zette publishes the following:
Great excitement prevails in diplo-
matte circles in Berlin over the possibility
of the speedy resignation of Prince Bis
marck, because OF the proposed marriage
of Prince Alexander of Battenburg and
Princess Victoria of Prussia. Prince
Alexander wishes to accompany Queen
Victoria to Berlin as tie sutton for the
hand of the princess. The bearing of the
report is so serious hat it cannot be
passed over until the Bulgarian question
shall have been settled by all the powers.
The projected marriage can only be
judged fromra political point of view, and
on this account the marriage is an lmpoSsi-
bility.
The German policy has its root in the
endeavor to avoid anything hat would be
likely to arouse the slightest indueement
for suspicion, and in the Bulgarian ques-
ton GERMANY must, in accordance with
the declaration made by Prince Bismarck
in the reichstag, remain a wholly u%ninter-
ested party as long as Bulgaria is in the
question. This course of action at
fords the only mean of retaining
the full confidence OF the opposing govern
ment.
This confidence would be disturbed in
an instant if the car most detested an
tagonist were to become the son-in-law of
Emperor Frederick. The intelligence of
the prince is SO highly estimated that it is
thought to be impossible for him to at
tempt n suit which would assuredly cost
the German people their chancellor. Pub
lie opinion in Berlin is emphaticaily in
favor OF Prince Bismarck.
A strong affection has existed between
the young couple since Prince Alexan-
der's visit to Berlin in 1885. The late
emperor opposed the match. but it is be-
lieved Emperor Frederick, the empress,
and Queen Victoria look upon it with
favor. Prince Bismarck has had a long
conference with the empress and has also
laid before Emperor Frederick a compre
hensive statement in writing of the posi-
BILE consequences of the marriage. The
r~esalt, according to the latest report, is
that the marriage has been postponed for
the present, and that Prince Bismarck re
taiDs his D~OsitiOn.

A PLUNGE TO DEATH.
Wreck on the Chicago, Mil
Waukee & st. Paul Road,
A Passenger Train Plunges
Into a Swollen Creek.
Four Persons Killed and Many
Injured.

ST. PAUL, April 5.-A special to the
Dispatch from Northampton, Ia, says:
A terrible railroad accident occurred
about four miles west of here on the Mil
waukee 4 st. Paul, by which at least a
dozen persons lost their lives, and from
fifteen TO twenty were injured.
The train, which left Chicago at ll:30
yesterday morning and was due at 2:l3
this morning, passed here nearly on time,
and when about four miles west plunged
into a creek, the bridge of which was
washed out. The creek was swollen by
the immense noun of water which has
been running for the past few days, and
in addition a gorge of ice was formed
which, previous to the arrival of the
train. carried away a portion of the
bridge.
There was nothing to show that there
was any danger ahead, and the train
plunged into the stream while running at
full speed. The engine and three coaches
went into the creek aud were Immediately
submerged by the torrent Of water which
overfowed the banks.
A scene of the widest confusion en-
sued, and those of the train crew and
passengers who escaped death and injury
were Immediately called into service to re-
lieve the drowning or pinioned passengers.
1t was with great difficulty that the
passengers could be reached, owing to
the rushing of waters through the car
windows.
Those who were rescued from the
smoking car, which was almost entirely
submerged, were taken from the windows,
some manned to such an extent that they
were powerless to help themselves, while
Others who were unhurt were nearly
drowned before aid could reach them.
At IL n. w.. six dead bodies had been
taken out from the wreck, and three more
were known to be underneath the debris,
through which the water was madly pour
ing.
1t was stated that the engineer and
fireman were instantly killed, or were
caught in the cab and drowned before aid
could reach them. but the confusion and
excitement was so great that 1t was diff
cult to secure reliable information.
In addition to the passengers known to
be kille l, from fifteen to twenty were
rescued that are more or less seriously in
jured.
A number were so dangerously hurt
that it is feared they cannot possibly re-
cover.
As soon as the lrainman who escaped
escaped injury could be spared, he was
dispatched TO the next station and a relief
train was telegraphed from Macon City.
Telcgrams for relief were also sent to
Charles City and other near by places.
1t was not until several hours after the
accident hat a train arrived with physl-
clans.

MERRILL, Wis, April 5.-Hugh
Doyle's den, Just outside this city, is now
running in full blast. Doyle has the
name of being the most brutal dive-keeper
in Northern Wisconsin. He has lately
gotten up a scheme for the purpose of Sc
curing girls Tor his den which works well
and which he considers safe. In several
of the small towns throughout the state
he has agents, ard allows them $25 and
expenses for every girl that is furnished.
When the victim gets to her destination
she is given the customary short dress,
and is then compelled to pay back to the
keeper all he has spent in procuring her
for his dive. The authorities here will do
nothing toward smashing the stockade
and rescuing the unfortunate victims who
have been entrapped by Doyle and his
gang.

Mysterious Poisoning IN Iowa.

Mysterious Poisoning IN Iowa.
MASON CITY, Iowa, April Sit is
now thought that II. G. Avery. who died
suddenly Sunday morning, was afflicted
with the same trouble that caused the
death of the Two members of the Brown
family. The latter death, with the mys-
FERROUS circumstances surrounding it, has
again renewed the talk relating to the
Brown family trouble. About 10 O'Clock
Mr.. Avery, who is a strong, robust man,
was attacked with dizziness, and in about
ten minutes was seized by a violent attack
of vomiting. He was given some cold
tea to drink and all pain seemed to pass
away. In a little over three hours he
was a corpse. What has caused the
deaths issa complete mystery. 1t is gen.
orally agreed that it is some kind of a
poison.
Not long ago a poison known as tyre.
t~Oxicon, a putrefaction ferment, a poison
generated in decayed matter, was discov-
cred in cheese. Butter containing similar
Ingredients might contain a like poison,
and the Brown family and Mr.. Avery
both ate butter at their last meal. Coro-
ner Mcfarland exhumed the body of Fl.
j.. Brown and the stomach was taken out.
The board of supervisors who are now in
session have been asked to appropriate
funds sufficient to make a thorough inves-
tigation. The appropriation will I'M
doubtedly be made and Browns stomach
sent to Chicago at once for analysis.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, April "a big
crowd surrounded the prison this morning
for the purpose of Witnessing the execu-
ton of Adam Volkovitch, but Sheriff
Search only admitted about two hundred
people. The hanging was announced to
take place at l1:30 o'clock. Religious
services were held in the cell of the con-
demned man for nearly two hours, and at
IL o'clock Volkovitch said that he was
ready. His arms were soon bound and
the march to the scaffold was begun. His
spiritual advisers supported him on either
side, prayers being said on the way. The
prisoner was then pinioned, the moose adj
iusted, and at ll:2l the trap was sprung.
Death resulted from strangulatiOn after
the body lad been hanging sixteen min
utes.

vas hanged was a cold blooded and brutal
one A stranger with plenty of money,
giving his name as Stanislaus Bloski, APP
peared in the village of Miners Mills,
about three miles from this place, on
August 7, 1887, and took up his abode
with Volkovltch. On the night of the
crime the latter persuaded Bloski to take
a walk with him toward Pittston. When
about a mile and a half above Mineral
Mills, Nolkovitch shot Bloski three times

with pain. Bloski was found by some
train men and moved to Miners Mills,
where he died on the following week. The
murderer fled to Jersey City, where he
was arrested. He pleaded self defense,

murder being for the purpose of robbery,
and Volkovitch was sentenced to be
hanged.
