to feel gratifed at the passage Of the BILL
locating soldiers home at Hot Springs
by the present Legislature. Such an act at

Chicago new Murder Mystery-No
Ntne ynmnd Wei.


CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-The mystery sur
rounding the horrible murder of Max
Mantwill Thursday night has not been
cleared up. Several clues which have
been followed by the police have been
found worthless. Young Eberling, who
formerly boarded with the family, is still
held by the police, but they have not
learned anything of a damaging nature
concerning him, beyond the fact that
Mantwill had been jealous.of Eberiing's
attentions to his wife. The county ply
sioian has made a post-mortcm examina-
tion OF the body of Mantwill. Thirty.fve
Knife wounds were found. About half q
dozen Of these were fatal stabs. One cut
on the right aids OF the neck exposed the
yertebtn severed the carotid artery and
cut through the wind pipe.
"rhat would be almost instant death"
said Er. Egbert. There were three stabs
in the back, and the evident direction Of
some OF the wounds shows that the assas-
sin was behind his victim part OF the
time. II ia safe conclusion that an
American was not tho ASSASSIN and only
insanity or intense hatred could have
actuate6 the murderer, as be must bave
hacked tho body o, his victim long aflei
the unfortunate man had been stricken
! down.

A German Returns 10 YOUNGSTOWN

Flood.
PIrrsBuRG, Dec. 20.-Emile E.oine, q
pudder in the employ of the Gam bria
Iron Company at Johnstown, left that
place shortly before the flood of May 3lst
and went to his native place in Germany
for tine purpose of taking possession OF
some property left him by a relative.
The will was contested, and the wife and
five children he left behind heard nothing
from him. He was finally successful IL
his suit and Il few days ago returned with
a draft for 800, 900 in his pocket.
On reaching Johnstown he WAS amazed
TO see the desolstion wrought by the
food, OF which he had heard nothing,
and vigilant inquiry on his part has
failed to reveal to him the fate Of hit
wife and children. The house in which
he lived was swept away and it is pre-
sumed that his family was buried among
the unidentified dead, as they were but
little known and their names do not ap
pear upon the roll Of deaths. Etoine vii

but after an appeal the custody of the
little girl was on Thursday awarded to

tempted to take her in court the scene
was so pathetic that the spectators inter
fered and the grandparents promised to
accompany the child TO the depot. Ar
rived there the scene was repeated. The
little girl ran 10 a bystander for protec-
ton and ne was roundly cheered when he
threatened T. knock the father down
il he touched her. The child, the
father and tho grandparents returned
to hotel and yesterday another
attempt was made to get her away. Mil

grandparents accompanied him ACROSS
the river. at Council Bluffs, the crowd
numbering nearly Thousand people, be-
came go denionstrative that Miller sought
refuge in passenger coach on the Rock
| Island train. The crowd in the meantime
| hurried the grandparents and the child
on train on another road, the conductor
pulled out 10 minutes ahead Of time and
the child is now supposed TO be safe In
