An incident Of Gen. Sncuuan's visit 10
Europc during the Franco-Prussian war

anco of the facts. When the general

The minister recommended Mr. Charles
f. MacLean, better known 20 New
Workers as a police commissioner than as
an interpreter. and he followed Gen.
Sheridan through the campaign. The
general relates in Scribners how Bis

There was a general laugh at this re

KILLED WITH AN AXE.
A NEW YORK BARLY MORNING MURDER
PULL OF MYSTERY.
Gunthsr Mschrung, a German Drug Clerk, Fatally
Assaulted Behind the Prescription Case.
His Sknll Cleft and Body Hacked
10 Psces-Polios Suspicious.

NEW YORK, March 7.-Gunther Wech-
rung, 80 years of age, German drug clerk
at 937 Third avenue, was struck on the
head with sn axe esrly this morning by an
unknown man who attempted to rob the
store. Hie assailant has not been arrested
The prescription counter, where the muir
der occurred, is concealed from the view of
customers in the store and at it's rear
window ovsrlooks the yard. An exten-
sion behind the counter did service ss q
sleeping room for the clerk. WecbruDg
came to the store shortly before midnight,
and as far as any one knows, slept there
until morning
The errsnd boy rang the bell at 7 o'clock
this morning and was let in by Wechrung,
who was in his shirt sleeves. He went out
TO get rolls for Wechrung's breakfast, and
the clerk went whistling behind the pre-
scription counter to finish his toilet The
boy was detained at the bakery for fifteen
minutes
In the meantime plumber in the base
ment came in to get some drugs he had
ordered. The clerk was not in sight, but
when called answered family from behind
the prescription case Another customer
entering, after the lapse Of about five min
utes the plumber, McCpery, ent behind
the prescription counter In a moment
his cries brought the other customer behind
the counter, where fearful sight was be-
held.
On the floor in front of q lounge lay
Wechrung weltering in a pool of blood
He was literally hacked 10 pieces, and
from deep cut in his head the brain pro-
truded. One of his hands was cut and
pounded into a Jelly, aud his coat WAS cat
in dozen places where the Ratchet blade
had entered his back. The walls and fur
niture in the room were spattered with
blood.
WechruDg's senses were not gone, and
wbeo questioned said he had sat down on
the lounge when the boy left him and
bent forward TO lace his SHOES. While
in that position he received q b'oT
on the arm, and il attempting to
rise was struck on the head. Instinc1vely
raising bis hand to ward off the blow, the
hstchet in the hand Of the butcher again
defceuded, and the member was nesrly
severed The Sl1 in the cash drawer bad
been taken, but the detectives are of the
opinion that the crime was committed by
some one with a grudge against Wechruog,
and not a common thief. The suspicion
that & woman is coz cerned in the case is
strong in the minds of the police, but it
cannot be learned that the clerk hsd any
entanglements. He died at o'clock this
evening in Bellevue Hospital.
