A BOOM FOR CONGO LANDS.

The Belgian King Thinking Of Emulating
Stanley's Example.
London Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
General Strachey, one of the secretaries
of the Royal Geographical Society. informs
me that Stanley's letter to the society gives
details, both ethnographical and geograph-
ical, of his journey which will prove of sur
passing interest and Importance. Between
the mouth of the Ituri river and Albert
Nyanza there are nearly 100000 square
miles of forest, but any syndicate proposing
to handle that lumber will have to dispose
first of cannlbal savages and equally ferO-
cious dwarf tribes, not to mention such
trifies as rapids, cataracts and
letters have deeply moved certain capital
lists, and there is Wild talk Of colossal
the old East Indian Company, Would-be
speculators, however, will find that STAN
ley has done considerable amount of pre-
empting on behalf of Sir Francis De Win
ton and the other astute gentlemen who
backed the expedition.
1t is believed that Stanley's discoveries
will attract capital to the Congo Free State,
King of the Belgians has long cherished the
idea OF paying a visit to Congo, and thus
starting boom. This information comes
from an exalted functionary at the Belgian
court, and its accuracy is beyond doubt.
His Majesty will penetrate as far into the
interior OF Africa as may be considered safe
for king, and he may be absent from Eu-
will be appointed. 1t is confidently hoped
that European capital cannot fail to follow
the first European monarch who has set
foot In Africa within modern times.

AN EMPEROR ALMOST DROWNED.

The Young Kaiser Wilhelm Has Narrow
Escape from q Watery Grave.
London Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
Early in the week the young Emperor
William paid visit to Posen, where the
floods have again risen and rendered thou
sands of people homeless. The long ac-
counts of the Emperor's visit there. which
are published by the English papers, omit
the most interesting of his doings. This
energetic young Emperor had to cross the
river vistula, but all the bridges had been
carried away by the floods. He therefore
started over on barge. The barge col
lided with mass of floating
debris, and was in imminent danger
of sinking. The Emperor and his
suite were therefore transferred to another
barge, but in the act of transferring he
slipped and narrowly escaped falling into
the water. When he landed on the oppo-
site bank he sighted q passing military
commissariat wagon, and Immediately rode
away, to the thorough surprise of the gar
rison, whittier the wagon was bound. Dur
ing the whole of his visit the Emperor
varied his visits to the sufferers with sur
prises to the garrIsons at unearthly hours
of the night and morning.
/ learn to-day, by a telegram from Ber-
lin, that the Emperor has subscribed 90, 600
marks toward the relief of the sufferers by
the inundation In POsen. On Wednesday
he waited at a Berlin railway station for
his mother and her three daughters, and re-
ceived them with a greater show of cOrdi-
ality than might have been expected.

NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS.
Several Important Positions Yet to BE
Filled by President Harrison.


Filled by President Harrison.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Since the ap-
pointment of the collector and postmas-
ter of New York, the interest and at
tention of New York politicians have con-
siderabiy subsided Only two more impor-
tant appointments are expected there soon,
and they are the appraiser of the port and
the general appraiser. The first named Of
fcer is one of political Importance, as there
is considerable patronage attached TO it.
The general appraiser is also an officer Of
Importance TO merchants, but not especially
so to politicians. 1t is under
stood that the appointment of naval
officer for New York has been
postponed, and the same is true OF the
United States marshal for that district.
Gen. James 0Bierne is prominently men
toned for that position, but the present
incumbent, Marshal Mcmahon, will prob
ably remain until July, and possibly even
four months longer. 1t all depends upoE
the decision which the President and the
Attorney general arrive at as to when the
term of Office of a man appointed In vaca-
tion expires. The New York marshal was
appointed four years ago next July, but
was not confirmed until the Senate met in
the December following. The commission
runs for four years from the time OF con-
frmation-

CRAZY AND NAKED.
Shocking Experience of Demented Girl-A
WildRace Through One of ChicagO's Parks.

CHICAGO, April7.-Last night, at o'clock,
Miss Clara Miller, aged nineteen, daugh-
ter of millionaire John Miller, of Austin,

located in the vicinity of Lincoln Park, in
this city, where she was undergoing treat
ment. The girl fled through Lincoln Park.
and as she ran, divested herself of her seal
skin coat, hat, etc., which she threw away
while running like deer. Having darted
hither and thither through the winding
pathways of the park, she finally succeeded
in divesting herself of every particle of
clothing, even to her shoes and stock
tinued to flee through the park in a
southerly direction, startling the few peo-
pie who happened to be abroad in the park
on so chilly night. and frightening the
horses of belated pleasure-riders. Park

When directly east of the park engine
room, she darted straight toward the build

room. Officer Belleisle caught glance of
the flying form, and, with a cry of horror,
darted forward in the dark to catch it. He
soon brought the fireman in, with the ex-
clamation, Great heavens! Come quick;
lisa woman, and she has no clothes on at
all"
"Yes. I'm a girl. bnt don't tell anybody"
answered the woman, whom the policeman
had caught and was too astonished to let
her go.

want anyone to know where am.v
But you haven't any clothes on--not
even shoes or stockings" said officer Belle

The engineers stiff and greasy overalls
were produced by the fireman and the now
shivering girl was induced to put them on.
Then an old coat was brought and
wrapped around the slender form and
buttoned up to the chin. A light was
brought, and both men were astOnished to
see before them tall, slender, delicate
looking woman, with skin as white as
snow, an oval face, with refinement cult
ure and intellect showing in every Inca
ment, dark gray eyes, with q sparkling,
alert expression, and black hair. The
North Halsted-street patrolwagon was
called, and the girl was taken to the East
Chicago-avenue station, from whence, an
hour later, she was returned to the SANTA
rum in charge of physicians.

Norfolk, Va, Suffers Severely from Both Ele-

NORFOLK, Va, April THE storm here

famous August gale Of 1879. All Water
street and intersecting streets on the wharf
front were under water at an early
hour, and the flood nearly reached
up to the west end of Main street and the
custom-house. The wharves and ware
houses along the southern and southwest
ern portion of the city were deeply sub
merged, and the damage is great all
around the harbor, reaching, it is thought,
fully half million dollars. The lime

stables and sheds, and then to
the warehouses of Batchelder g. Collins,

and John c. Canine, all succumbing to the
flames. These were followed by the old
and about ! 900 bales of cotton and other
stuff. The gale carried away the roof of

ginia. Beach depot, and various

At 10 o'clock there was ten inches
of water In the station-house cells, and the
prisoners arrested during the night had to
be taken out. In the Jail was still greater
food, and the prisoners had to be removed
from the lower to upper cells, causing great
excitement among them. The wood and
lumber-yards suffered great damage
from submergence, and number
of vessels dragged their anchors
and were driven ashore. One schooner was
badly damaged by fire from the Cotton Ex-
change on the harbor. On the Portsmouth
side of the river the lime warehouses of
Traut. Terreguin d Co. and other build
ings were destroyed. At the navy-yard the
Pensacola was sunk in the dry dock, and
the new Simpson dock was overflowed
and very badly wrecked. The
marine barracks and other build
ings of the yard were injured by
the rain and wind. The insurance COM
panies have lost heavily on the freight
stored in the transportation warehouses,
and at the railroad depots damaged by
overflow. Women and children from
houses on Water street were placed on bales
of cotton and foated to dry land. Several
sick persons were also rescued by this
method. None of the outgoing steamers
were able to go as far as Old Point last
night or to-day. They struck the storm in
Hampton Roads and were forced to return.
The storm was terrific on the coast. Seri-
Gus disasters are apprehended in that
section, but all the government wires are
down and nothing can be heard.

A HIGH-LIFE SCANDAL.
Lady Beaumont's Erratic Ideas of Matrimony
and Marital Duties.

Lady Beaumonts Erratfc Ideas of Matrimony
and Marital Duties.
London Special to New York World
One of the most sensational scandals
which has ever disgraced English society
is about to come before the world. The
Right Hon. Henry Stapleton, the ninth
Baron Beaumont. descendant of the last
King of Jerusalem, has filed a bill in the
House of Lords proposing to dissolve mar
riage which he contracted only last year
with pretty brunette, the daughter of
Mime. Elise, the great court dress-maker,
who year or two ago sold her business
for over 100000 and married Mr.. Wooten
1saacson. NJ. +. Lord Beaumont's friends
say, and it is believed to be the truth, that
he is not responsible for the scandal.
He discovered Immediately upon his
marriage that his wife's ideas as TO the
holy state of matrimony and marital duties
generally, were, to put 1T very mildly, of a
character to make any mans hair stand on
end. 1t did not have that effect in his

bald. But nature found another vent for
his pent-up emotions In rush of blood to
the head. Lord Beaumont had many fits,
chiefly fits of anger, but they had no effect
upon his amazing young wife, who defied his
authority. jeered at his jealousy, made
utive rent-roll, and scoffed at his ancestors,
the King of Jerusalem not excepted. Lord
Beaumont arrived at the conclusion that
his wife must be insane, but as she had an
income of $3.50. 1000 a year in her own
right he bore with her for awhile. Ere
long. however, evidence accumulated under
his hand which left him no option but to

THE FIRST PRESIDENT HARRISON.
A Talk with Gen. Nj. p. Taylor, Who Lived
the White House in 1S41.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April For the first time
in many years Gen. Matthew p. Taylor.
who is first cousin OF President Harrison.
will visit the White House tomorrow.
General Taylor was a member of the ex-
ecutive household during the two months
Immediately succeeding his uncle's ;naug-
uration, and was with him when he died.
To your correspondent he to-day talked of
the occupancy of the White House by the
first President Harrison. General Taylor
says the Inauguration of Harrison, in lS41,
was a greater event than that which oc-
CURED six weeks ago tomorrow. The rain
poured in torrents, and Pennsylvania
avenue was river of mud. After the in
auguration General Taylor took up his
residence at the White House, and with
his mother and elder brother remained
there till the Presidents death. Washing
ton was at that time very miserable ex-
cuse for national capital. 1t was a small,
unattractive little city. In the square just
north of the White House was st. Johns
Church, and the President compelled the
boys to attend services three times every
Sunday. 'The office-seekers of 1S4l," said
General Taylor .s"were more persistent, if
possible, than to-day, but the earlier Presi-
dent, unfortunately, did not pursue the
same course toward his political supporters
that his grandson does. The desire to per-
sOnally receive every man who called and
also to attend to all the duties that devolved
upon him as President, were far too much
for his overtaxed strength, and in conse-
quence he gave way. After the first recep-
tion at the White House President Harri-
sons arm was entirely disabled. 1t was
swollen from the wrist to the shoulder. and
was of a sickly purple color, by reason Of
the hard work done in grasping and shak-
ing the thousands of hands thrust at him.
He first took to his bed about two weeks
after his Inauguration, utterly worn out in
mind and body, and rapidly sank In health
till death came to his relief.
AT the time VIM. Henry Harrison en-
tered the White House the government
had not adopted the policy of furnishing
the executive mansion. Every President
was expected to bring with him the greater
part of the furniture he would use as well
as his dinner service. VIM. Henry brought
a dinner set which had been in the family
then one hundred years. 1t did service at
the first state dinner, where the aristocIacy
of the country was assembled. President
BENJAMIN Harrison now occupies the room
where his grandfather died"
General Taylor comes up from his home
in the Old Dominion to pay his cousin a
favOrS. He has been In constant cOmmuni-
cation with the President from the day of
the nomination till the present, and is an
invited guest.

Boulanger and Prince Victor Confer In q
Cheap Restaurant in Brussels
LONDON, April S.-The Times correspond
ent in Brussels says that Prince Victor
Napoleon visited General Boulanger on
Saturday, and that the two held long
conference on Sunday in restaurant in
the outskirts of the city.
Rooms have been engaged for General
Boulanger and his party at the Hotel Con-
tinental, London, and the General and his
self-exiled followers are expected to arrive
here during the week. This move, it is un-
derstood, is intended to forestall their al
most certain expulsion by the Belgian gov
ernment. Society is getting ready for him,
in full confidence begotten of belief that
he is making Belgium too tOrrid
to hold him. London already has
ex-Empress Eugene, Compile de Paris, and
Prince Jerome Napoleon. and there is room
for Boulanger. Although his blood be not
blue, BOulanger has set the world talking
about him, and he is understood to be nice
looking. His credentials are, therefore,
amply sufficient to open wide all the mouths
and exclusive portals in London.
PARIS, April THE Boulangist. journals
assert that all of the members of the ma
tional committee will be tried by the Sem
ate. Senator Observation-Disclosures has an
nounced his determination to refuse to sit
as a member of an exceptional tribunal.
La Franco demands the expulsion of Gen.
BOulanger.
All the newspapers admit that the result
of the trial of the leaders of the Patriotic
League is a rebuff to tile government The
BOulangists are exultant over the outcome
of the trial. The Temps cOunsels the gov
ernment to consider we'll the responsibility
involved in the trial of General Boulanger.

For the credit @ @ of human nature. n ~ It is hoped
some, at least, of them may be disprOved.
The lady S friends do not deny that she has
peculiar ideas, and that her ways are start

to the account of the wild days of heryouth

not since recovered from the twist. There
are letters in the case, bushels of them, so
peculiarly Zolaesque. These documents
are claimed by well-known man about
town who has suddenly shown a yearning
desire to get them back into his possession.
1t is probable that this part of the matter
will come before one of the courts of justice
next week, and big effort will probably
be made to have the case heard in camera.
