BoULANGER's FOES.
They Are Bound to Down Him---London
Captures Bismarck.

Captures Bismarck.
by Gable to the United Press.l
LONDON, April 1, 1SS9.-The action of
the public prosecutor, NJ, Bouchez, in re-
fusing TO sign the Indictment against
General Boulanger, has aroused the ire of
the adherents of the government against
him. 1t is true that M. Bouchez, who is
universally credited with possessing q
thorough knowledge of the law, bases his
refusal upon the thus fas undisputed
ground that the charge of conspiracy
against the General cannot stand upon
the evidence presented, but the enemies
termined to remove him from scenes of
political activity, If possible. Therefore
they will press their case against him
with all possible haste and vigor. 1t is not
only these worthless, who must needs find
a case against Boulanger in order to pre-
serve their standing in the political centre.
of France, but large number of others
who have long been discredited and
whose speedy resort to something popular
or sensational is necessary to their absolute
existence. If these fellows cannot sue
ceed in sacrificing Boulanger they will un-
hesitatingly make an offering OF BoucheZ,
if they are permitted to do so. Among
those whose existence, political at least, is
contingent upon the thorough eradication
of Boulangism from the minds of the
people, are several members Of the newly
appointed Ministry, and they may be
relied upon to exemplify the maxim that
self preservation is the first law of nature,
by lending all possible aid to the attempt
to pull down its leader.
The visit of Count Herbert Bismarck to
London has evidently turned the head of
the brusque son of the Iron Chancellor,
since he is reported to be willing to make
almost any concession to England that
previous to his visit was thought by Eng
fish statesmen to be almost impossible to
secure. According to the latest rumor
the result of the winning and dining in
which the Count has INDUCED since his
arrival in London, has been to
open his heart to the men who
were his diplomatic antagonists before
he left Berlin and cause him to promise
them anything they want. What effect
this softening of his inherited sternness
will have upon the settlement of the
Samoan muddle remains to be seen, but it
is not now doubted that the matter will
be speedily brought to an amicable issue
as far as England is concerned, and that a
similarly friendly conclusion of the
difficulty in the case Of America will be
reached, is also believed.

So John Burdens Grand
father Could Not APP
pear Against Him
in Court.
JOHN WAS HELD WITHOUT BAIL.
1t Was Thought That His Abuss
Might Have Caused the Old
Mans Death.


John Burden, aged twenty, Of No. .
Sussex street, was arrested yesterday
morning, charged with assaulting and
beating his family on Saturday night
His grandfather, Patrick Mccarthy,
promised to appear against him in place
of the young mans mother, who is con-
fined to her bed with severe attack OF
neuralgia
When the case was called this morning
the old man was not there. Investigation
proved that he had died twelve hours be-
fore, as was supposed, from the i'll treat
ment which he received from his grandson
the previous night. went down to the
house on Sussex street this morning and
found it to be three-story frame building
with a saloon on the ground floor. The
saloon was closed A death notice was
posted on the door and Grape hung from
the bell knob at the hall entrance.
JOHN WAS A VIOLENT YOUNG MAN.
Two sisters of the young man leds the
way to q rear room, where the body of the
old man lay. The interior of the house
does not indicate wealth, but the family
lives comfortably except for Johns
violent temper.
The saloon on the ground floor was
owned by the father of the young man,
and run by him until his death, four
months ago. Since then it has been run
by the eldest son, John, who,
from that fact, seemed to imagine
that he owned the entire house;
and to keep the old man, his mother, six
sisters and two little brothers fully aware
of the fact, he was in the habit of raising
the roof. One of the girls said.--He'd hit
us all a clip whenever he felt like it,
John is tough of the most disapproVed
pattern, and isweH known in the vicinity.
PROBABLY NOT A MURDER.
The suspicion that the old mans death
might have resulted from the violence he
sustained at the hands of his imprisoned
grandson was not we'll founded, but it is
Thought likely that the excitement attend
ing the Saturday night row hastened his
death. He had been suffering from heart
disease, and one in that condition is very
susceptible to excitements AT the house,
however, this was denied
''He was too fat,n one of the girls de-
clared, ssand the water settled around his
heart. He seemed to be in his usual health.
He went into the yard and in few
minutes / was looking from an upper
window, when I saw grandfather lying on
the ground. went down stairs and
called the others, and we carried him IN
and sent for the priest and DR.. Rectors
In a few minutes he was dead.
The accused was held without bail pend
an official enquiry into the cause of his
grandfather's death.

of stone, Stag and iron were dumped to
make a solid wall for the made land.
That portion of the bulkhead which gave
way was between the first and second
piers, near the mouth of the gap.
One of the tiremen said that he believed
the entire bulkhead would need rebuild
ing, and that the company would he de-
