In Hotel Before 1t was Burned.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 19.-Gen.
R. II. Rigger, OF Atlanta, Ga, was one
of those who lost their lives in the Eu-
ropean Hotel fire on the night Of No.

been incendiary. Yesterday his valise,
filed with stones, was found in the Ten
nessee river. The money which Gen.
Rigger was known to have carried in
the valise was gone. A negro named
Webb was arrested in Cincinnati few
days ago, and he is believed to be the
one who robbed the valise. When ap-
pretended he had 81, 400 on his person.
The detectives are still at work on the
case and are certain that they will be
able to show that the hotel was burned
to cover up the murder and robbery.

hottest. The plan of campaign was all

BERLIN, Nov. 22.-The German Reich
stag. reassembled to-day. Emperor
William opened the session in person.
In his speech he said that the tours he
had recently made had convinced him
that the desire for imperial unity was
deeply rooted in the people. He re-
ferred to the inclusion OF Hamburg and
Bremen in the German customs union
and to the conclusion OF q commercial
convention with Switzerland. lie was
gratified to know that trade had inn
proved and said the prospect OF high
prices for farming products justified the
hope of an improvement in agriculture.
He emphasized the pacific character of
Germanys foreign relations and policy,
and said that his visits abroad which
had been undertaken with view to
etfecting an understanding in the inter-
est OF peace had caused universal conf
dence in the maintenance of peace.
The Emperor made no reference to
any military ills or credits and touched
but briefly upon East African affairs.
The Emperor in his speech said he
had undertaken to execute his grand
fathers precious legacy with reference
to social and political legislation. He
did not indulge the hope that it would
be possible to Danish from the world by
legislation The distress and misery OF
mankind. II WIS the duty OF the Gov
ernment, however to alleviate this as
far as possible, by.organic situations to
bring about n recognition of the truth
that the manifestation OF love Of ones
neighbor is the duty of the state as
public community. In reference to for
eign relations he said: "0ur relations
with all foreign powers are peaceful. My
efforts have been to strengthen this
peace. The alliance with Austria and
Italy has no other object. To bring
without necessity the miseries even OF
victorious war upon Germany would be
with my Christian faith
and my duties to the German people.
Actuated thus, considered it my duty,
shortly after my accession to the throne,
personally to greet, not only my allies,
but also, and in the first place, the
friendly neighboring monRrchs, in order
to seek an understanding with viewto
the fulfillment OF the task that God has
set before me OF securing to our people
tho blessings of peace and prosperity as
far as lies in our power.

sec what may be the future OF the bait
act, a measure intended by its trainers
to bring unavoidable ruin upon the
French fisheries, but am in position
to emphOtically say, without fear OF con-
tradiclion, that its enforcement has, on
the whole, operated in most insigniti-
cant manner upon our fisheries opera
tions. Should the government and the
legislatures OF New England, after dis
covering they have missed the mark,
decide upon withdrawing prohibition
which, all things taken into account,
has done more harm to their own people
than to us, they-will find us willing to
renew the old business intercourse and
neighborly relations SO sadly inter
rupted."

A THOUGHT OF love
Was Never Entertained by Bank
er Fry for Mrs, Hibbard.
THE DEFENDANTS TESTIMONY
In the Famous Breach of Promise
Case-she Made all the Love Her
self and he asked her to Stop
it-Evidcncc about all in.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 92.-When the
Beaver County Court opened this morn
ing for the continuation OF the Hibbard-
Fry breach OF promise case the room was
crowded to its utmost capacity. The
positive denials Of Mrs. Hibbard's alle-
cations made by ythe defendant yesterday
created sensation and gained for him
many adherents. The defendant re-
sumed his testimony At the opening Of
court this morning and remained on the
stand all day. He was subjected to
vigorous cross-examination by the
plaintiff g counsel, but his evidence was
unshaken. He denied all the allega-
tions OF u tender nature made by the
plaintiff. lie never asked her whether
she would like to live on farm, as he
did not own one. He did not say that
he missed her sweet face when she was
absent from church, northat his old love
had come back stronger than ever. He
did not say that his love for her was SO
great that II she so commanded him he
would jump off the train, aud he had
never kissed her ut home, on the train
or anywhere else.
Referring to the Rockpoint picnic, he
said he had talked to Mrs. Hibbard on
that occasion; did not notice any em-
barrassment on her part and had never
seen her embarrassed in his life.
Laughter
Mr.. Fry then related the conversation
with Mrs. Hibbard on the occasion when
she asked him TO procure for her daugh-
ter the position OF organist OF the Baptist
church. On that occasion she told me
the history OF her life and fclt sorry for
her.
THE WIDOW DID TIE PROPOSING.
"she then," said he, told me that 1
was the only man she ever loved. Twas
surprised and said it was impossible.
She said should feel flattered as great
many men had told her she was very
handsome. | said hoped this subject
would not come up again and shortly
afterwards l lefther house."
With reference TO the letter OF 1887,
asking him TO call, witness said he re-
ceived it aud replied, asking to be ex-
cused. lie also replied,tO another note
asking him to call. He also received
letter from her saying that his treatment
of her was "unmanly."
He took the note in his hand, went at
once to her store and asked what her
meaning was. She invited him in and
said:
what does this mean? You have
been paying attention to me for two
years and have asked me to marry you
two or three times"
He said: "Stop right there. You are
an unmitigated liar and IN adventures.
know you now. have found you out."
He then left, went a short time later to
Cincinnati, and upon his return was a
notice in the paper that she had brought
suit against him, which was the first
notice he had ofthe fact.
The case will probably go to the jury
sometime tomorrow, and verdict is
expected by Saturday morning by the
latest.

The Noted Actor aud Author at Deaths
Door with Rheumatic Gout.
New YoRK, Nov. 22.-It has been
known for a few days that Dion
Boucicault was very III, but until yester-
day it was not believed apparently that
he was really in dangerous condition.
However, the news was confirmed ut the
Madison Square Theatre that it was not
likely that he would live long. What
the exact nature of his trouble was could
not be ascertained, but it is supposed to
be rheumatic gout, mingled with dys-
pepsia, he having suffered from both
troubles for years. In the present in
stance the gout is expected to reach the
heart. The last time Mr.. Boucicault was
seen in public was on the occasion of the
first performance OF Sweet Lavender"
at the Lyceum Theatre. This was on
Tuesday night a week ago, and he ap.
peared TO be quite feeble, having to catch
his wiie's arm to descend the steps ofthe
theatre. which are rather long. Mr..
BouciCault is an old man. He has very
nearly reached the allotted age OF three
score and ten. He is white haired, yet
his face never looked fresher within ten
years than on the night OF Sweet La
vendet" herein mentioned. Mr.. Bouci-
cault's absence from his school Of acting
was the cause ofthe postponement OF its
first seance at the Madison Square
Theatre Yesterday afternoon.

wAsurSeroS, D. c., Nov. 22.-Indian
Commissioner oberly to-day received the
following letter dated November 10, from
Robert L. Owen, United States Indian
Agent at Muscoges, l. T., in response to
an inquiry as to the truth Of the report
ed disturbances in the Chickasaw Nation
over the election OF Governor OF that
Nation: There has been no such state
OF affairs in the Chickasaw Nation rs the
sensational kilograms have reported.
There is, however, some state OF excite
ment there, and the possibility OF per-
sonal feuds over the disagreement rs to
the Governorship. Mr.. Guy has not
called on this office for protection rs
against Mr.. Byrd, and my information is
that Mr.. Byrd continues to exercise all
the functions OF Governor, and that he
is practically running the Government
as such, while Guys cause, though
based in legal justice, is growing, to
some extent, the unpopular. There is
no present cause for interference OH the
part OF the Government. Ifsuch should
be the case this office will endeavor to
take prompt action.

CulcAao, Nov. 22.-Another element
of mystery has been added to the al-

death Of Miss Eva Mitchell, whose body
was found lying on the Boulevard, near
Forty.third street, in Hyde Park, on
Saturday night last. 1t appears she had
n very close friend named NettiG White.
This girl was not present at her friends
funeral, nor has she been seen since the
death Of Eva. The police are searching
for her on the theory that there may
have been a double murder, or that this
girl knows something about the circum-
stances OF her friends death, and for
some unknown reasons is keeping out OF
the Way,
