The Secret of Why an Alleged Poet and
Author Suicided.

The Secret of Why an Alleged Poet and
Author Suicided
BERLIN. Decembec IGth.-It is lust four wears
ago that the poet and noyelis-, Alfred MeiSsner
whose great epic, poem "Ziska is popular
throughout the German-speakipg world COM
mitted suicide under circumstances which at
the time were shrouded in mystery. He was
then at the hight of his fame and giorr, and it
was fhcult to imagine what possible cause he
could nave MAD Tor taking his life. The mystery
has just bsen revealed in q way which has
plunged the literary world here into q state Of
great excitement.
An edition of his collected works was brought
out by firm OF publishers about six weeks ago
Within ten days after its appearance another
and comparatively unknown Bohemian author
named Francis Hedrieb, who had been living
IN London for some time past published a
pamphlet in which he claims the authorship of
nearly all of MeissneTs most famous works He
declares that Tor thuty years Meissner gave his
name to his (IIedrchs) works pocketipg the
money they realized and awarding him merely
trife Hedrich publishes fac-simiies OF origi-
nal letters from Meissner in confirma, ion OF his
ttatements and estimates his pecuniary loss at
over 1000 Q FORMS
The pamphlet which was recopied n mes. in
eXtenso by all the literary journals O: Germany
and quoted by most of the daily papers, ere
ated an immense sensation, and brOther-in-
law OF the dead author and poet was called
upon for an explanation.
The later has just been made public snd
practically admits the truth of HedTichs state
mentS. He confesses that Hedrich had been a
collaboration on most of Meissner's novels, the
coilaboratorship having been arranged between
them because Ht drich's name was scarcely
known and would not have command. d The
same price i'll the book market as Meissner'S.
He also acknowledges that the latter had sold
to his Leipsic publishers uuder his own name &
novel entirely written by Hedrich. His brother
in-lawS suicide he attributes to eXtortiunate
demands for money made upon him By Bed
rich under the threat of revealing the Tart
which he had in bnilding up Aeissner's fame.

Captain Shepard, Commander of the
Richard Rush, Promoted.


NEW YORK, December 16th.-Commodore A.
E. Bateman, of this city, received telegram
from Secretary of the Treasury Window an
nouneing that Captain Leonard G. Shepard, of
the Richard Rush, now stationed at San Fran
cisco. had been ordered to Washington at once
to take the position of chief of the revenue ma
rine division.
This appointment will meet with the uni
versal approval of the men in the service" said
one of the officers. ''The is no more popular of
ficer in the service than Captain Shepard"
What is the nature OF the position?' was
asked by reporter
1.-THE Chief of Division is the commanding Of
ficer of the entire service. He gives orders to
the revenue vessels of the Government, and has
under him large force of officers and men,"
Then the appointment is a promotion for
Captain Shepard ?r
Certainly. for it is the highest honor he could
obtain in his own particular service-a position.
too, that no other officer in the service has ever
been given. 1t has been the rule heretofore to
give the place to a civilian, and Shepard is the
first exception y
"Thst is the secret of his exception 81
1t is twofold. The ability and popularity of
Shepard, and his friendship with Commodore
BGteman, the banker"
Your correspondent was then told romance
in the relationship of these two men. When
Captain Shepard was boy he ran away from
home, entered the revenue marine service and
steadily rose to his present position. Several
years ago he was stationed near Washington,
ard there met Bateman, then q young man W no
was almos. poyerty-s ricken. Shepard, out of
the biguess OF his heart did everything posi-
bic for Bateman, and it was not long before the
sharp young man caught on in Washington
and made money.
Then he moved to New York, became one of
the most prominent WalLstreet men. and is
now worth millions of dollars has q most ele-
CANT place and his own steam yacht He and
Window are fast friends, for Bateman is a
prominent Republican, and so when an ap-
pointnent for This place was to be made, Bate
msn went to Washington aud asked that it be
given TO the friend who had helped him many
years ago. shepard" concluded the officer,
never knew that Batemanihad thought Of him
in connection with the place, and his appoint

RIOtinS at Granada-An Order for Rifles
and Ammunition.

New YORK, December 16th.-Adyices from
Managua, Nicaragua. of November 10Th are as
follows: AT the municipal elections h. ID in
Granada on Sunday there Was more or less riot
ing, resulting in blO0Gshed The fighting con-
tinued for several days after the election dur
ing which time the Government sent down
troops to remove the arms stored there and to
assist the orderloYi- 6 element to Queu the dis
tuTbance
The trouble was occasioned by the revival Of
the old fued between GRANADA and Leon. These
have long been rival cities, each striving in -uc-
cessive elections to obtain control of the Gov
eminent. portion of the Government railway
was torn up and other property destroyed
The removal of the arms aud ammunition
stored in the arsenal during the riots enraged
the citizens, and at L public meeting held on
Saturday evening last $780, 600 was pledged for q
supply of Remington Itties and ammunition
and the o-der goes north by the mail which
closes to-day
Intismmatory speeches were made by General
Navale, ex President Guzman, Senator Santiago,
Morales and other wealthy and prominent res
idents of Granads. The Government was Bit
terly denounced by the speakers, its action be-
ing considered insult that could only be
wiped out by a resort TO arms
The Government is keeping a sharp watch
upon reasonable proceedings at Grsnada and
the leaders are likely to De l.sted II any mo
ment if they attempt to carry oul the threats
made at the receBt gathering ct the Eo.4 &c

ErlDl.alfc or INSANITY.
Remarkable and Numerous Cases Re
ported From Austria.

VIENNA, December I6th-Sudden and alto
gether unexpected attacks OF insanity have
been unpleasantiy frequent of late. one of the
cases which attracted m st attention was that
of the famous comic actor DesS 'ir, who is often
described as the Austrian CoQuelin. The other
evening while performing his part in Tho Hy-
pochoucriac' at the V1lss Theater he, without
the slightest warning oecame demented and
so violent that the curtain had to be rang down
amid indescfibable excitement on the part Of
the audience.
1t was only with great difficulty thst ne could
be removed from the stage. and an interval of
almost half an hour ensued before the perform
Rnce of the comedy could be resumed the part
of Dessoir being taken up by his understudy.
A still more alarming case occurred last week
on the BOsen- Meran Railroad. where the en-
gineer of night express train was seized with
an attack OF insanity during the Trip. Alter
having attempted to brain his fireman, who
sought refuge i'll the rear of the tender, he
turned on full steam, and then as Inc train
rushed over the bridge which spans the Etch
he threw himself heGdlGng iIto the river,
On p'rceiving the Goa clear the fireman, who
had meanwhile been joined by the frightened
conductor, crept back utiously mo thc cab of
the locomotive and shut off the steam. Il was
not, however. Until the express reached Neran
that the passengers became Gwars of the great
danger IRON which they had escaped.
