A WISCONSIN TRAGEDY.
Drunken Man Kills His Wife and Two Chill
dren, and Then Cuts His Own Throat.

ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. 20.-One of the most
astrocious murders and suicides that has
been reported for some time occurred at
Upson. in this county, this morning. A
laborer named Joseph Brogan killed his
wife and two children, aged five and seven
years, respectively, and then committed
suicide with a dull razor, at 7:30 this morn
ing. Brogan drank heavily and had q
heated quarrel with his wife this morning.
She protested because he spent all of his
earnings for drink. The couple quarreled
frequently, and nothing was thought of it.
This morning, when several persons were
passing by, the fiend attacked his wife with
a razor and nearly severed her head from
the body. The little boys awoke from sleep
and were both horribly cut by the raving
father. He started for the door and cut his
own throat, his body falling against and
barring the opening of the door. He was
about thirty-fiye years of age and had no
particular business. When the neighbors
broke in, "A horrible sight was presented.
The single room of the house was literally
covered with blood. The bodies of the
victims and murderer We're still warm, but
all were dead. The affair has thrown the
little village into an uproar. Brogan has
wealthy parents living in the East, who
have been telegraphed.

Scotland Yard Detectives Claim to Have
Unearthed Murderous Plot.
LONDON, Feb. 20-The Scotland Yard
officials have obtained information which
leads to the general belief in police circles
that the Invincibles are engaged in per-
fecting the details of a most desperate plot
to murder several of the high officers of the
government. So circumstantial are the
stories poured into the ears of the police
officials that even Lord Salisbury is I'M
pressed with the belief of their genuiness.
and, Notwithstanding his persistent re-
fusal, hitherto, to permit himself to be
guarded by officers of the law, he was to-
day placed under the protection of the
police, the men assigned to the duty of pro-
tecting him keeping him constantly in
sight. Mr.. Balfour's personal safety has,
for some time past, been an especial charge
of the police, and it is likely, in view of
this later scare. that several members of
the Cabinet will avail themselves of such
protection as Scotland Yard may be able
to afford them against the real or SUPPOSE
titious assassins lying in wait for them.

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS.
Division 321 Surrenders Its Charter and Dis
bands-Causes of This Unexpected Action.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20-It is learned
that at a meeting held here Sunday night
the members of Enterprise Division, No.
321, of the Brotherhood of Engineers, de-
cided that the division be abandoned. 1t
is said that there was an unusually large
attendance at the meeting, and the resolu-
tion that the division be dissolved was
adopted without a dissenting vote. A
committee was appointed to wind up the
affairs of the division and to return the
charter and other papers to the general
offices of the order. The division was
composed almost exclusively of Read
ing railroad engineers, and was
one of the largest divisions with
which the Reading engineers associated
men belonged to the division. One of the
members who has been prominent as an
agitator explained his unexpected vote in
the Affirmative by saying that he had been
threatened with discharge if he did not
leave the order.
One of the ex-members Of the division
was asked what effect the wiping out of
No. 321 would have upon the engineers of
the Pennsylvania railroad system. II am
not in a position to speak for them," he re-
piled, "but / know that they, in common
with the Reading engineers, have been
long since satisfied that the order has be-
come powerless to protect their interests,
and of late has been simply a means of
of the engineers thrown out of employment
by the ilI-advised and unsuccessful strike
on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
road, and / have no reason to believe but
that they are as tired of this as we We're.
These are the reasons that principally
caused us to disband"
lone of your members has said that he
voted for the resolution to dissolve because
he had been threatened with discharge if
ne did not leave the order. Do you know
of any such threats?"
Il do not. We wound up because there
was no use in our any longer keepingup the
organization. Out of about one hundred
members not more than a dozen were in
good standing"
Then you died of a sort of dry rot?n
That's about the size of it."

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
Rumor that Germany Will Demand the Ar
rest and Punishment of Klein.

Rumor that Germany Will Demand the Ar
rest and Punishment Of Klein.
BERLIN, Feb. 20.-The Cologne Gazette
says that Germany will demand of the
United States government that it arrest
and punish Klein, the American, whom Ger
many charges with having led the Mataa-
faites in Samoa at the time of the repulse of
the Germans, in December last.
The Germans in Samoa are furious over
the escape of the American, Klein. to San
Francisco. 1t is cOntended here that the
white book contains positive evidence clear
enough to convict Klein of repeated acts of
overt hostility to the Germans and their
naval forces at Samoa.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Secretary Bayard
was to-day shown the Associated Press dis
patch from Berlin, in which it is stated
that the Cologne Gazette says that Ger
many will demand of the United States
government he arrest and punish
ment of Klein, the American CORE
spondent, charged with having led the
attack against the Germans in Samoa in
December last. The Secretary smiled, and
said it was the first he had heard of it. He
added that he did not know of Klein's ex-
istence until informed of it by the Ger
mans, and said that he had referred all the
correspondence received by him in regard
to Klein to the Senate committee ON for
eign relations. No information in regard
to the state of affairs in Samoa has been
received at the State Department since the
date of the Presidents last message to Con-
gress on that subject.

TROUBLESOME INDIANS.
The Theft of an 0vercOat Leads to Complica-
tiOns That May Have Serious Results.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 20-News has Just
been received from Missoula, in this Terri
tory, that the Flathead Indians are arming
themselves, and settlers in Flathead lake
valley are in danger. The section where
the trouble originated is without telegraph
facilities. A letter received at Missoula
from Rayalli says: 1T seems that an In
dian stole an overcoat from j. +. Clifford,
of Clifford or Demorsville. Clifford struck
the Indian on the head with pistol, from
the effects OF which the Indian died. Major
Roman says that an Indian brought him O.
report that Clifford was killed by Indians,
Saturday night. 1t has since been rumored
that both Clifford and DR.. Cunningham
were killed. There seems to be feeling
that If Clifford is not killed the Indians
will lose no opportunity to kill him.
Everything Is quiet here. There are a few
Indians IN town, and they are chiefly bent
on buying ammunition. Squaws and chill
white men in the Flathead valley have been
killed and there is likely to be o great
fight
. 4 freighter from Clifford says there was
no excitement in the valley when he left,
him good deal while he was coming
across the reservation. Bad blood is
known TO have existed among
the Indians about the. Flat
head lake country ever since the
citizens of DeInorsville hanged two Of
their number about year ago. The alb
sence of mail from that section or any deti-
mite news has created uneasiness among
citizens of this place. The stage from Flat
head is now past due at Ravalli, and the
people are anxiously awaiting it. The un-
easIDess is increasing.
me latest reports are conflicting. At
Missoula IL Is said that the two men, Cliff
ford and Cunningham, have been killed.
Mlssoula people look for serious trouble.
AT kayalli 1t is said that the stage has ar
rived, and that Clifford and Cunningham
are safe.

One More Body Removed from the Ruins-A
Large Mass of Debris Still to Be 0verhauled.

HARTFORD. Conn.,, Feb. 2O.-The work of
excavating at the Park Central ruins has
been vigorously prosecuted to-day, and
more effectively than heretofore. The
streets on both sides of the ruins are
crowded, but special police keep people
from interfering with the work. No bodies
were found beyond those already reported,
until about 10 o'clock this morning, when
one was discovered which, from its location
close by the safe, is probably that of night
clerk Perry. A great mass of debris is yet
to be overhauled. Many think that no
more bodies will be found, as no other per-
sons are reported missing, but others ex-
pect to find more, as the hotel was reported
full. At the hospital to-day all ten of the
patients are doing as well as could be ex-
pected, and no serious results are expected
with any of them. DR.. and Mrs. Perrin
will be buried tO-m0rroV. in New Britain.
President Dwight, of Yale, and others will
Officiate.
Facts continue to come to light calcu-
lated to lessen the probable number in the
building at the time OF the explosion. Two
had a room in the hotel wished to take the
train home at $50 Monday morning. They
arose early and left for the depot at about
4:40, ten minutes before the explosion.
Their departure was not heard of by rela-
tives here. and at first, of course, they were
included among the missing. Public ex-
citement has greatly subsidized and the num-
ber of spectators at the ruins is small. The
only body now in the morgue is that of Mr..
Illoway, of Cincinnati, whose friends are
expected to-day.
1850 p. M.-Medical men, after further
examination, are now satisfied that the
charred pieces of flesh and and bone found
near those of Mrs. Whiting are portions of
the body of her husband, Mr.. Andrew +.
Whiting, actuary of the Hartford Life and
Annuity Insurance Company. This makes
the number of deaths twenty-five. and ac-
counts for all positively known to have
still at work. but nothing has been found
since this forenoon.

Goff Will Probably Qualify as Governor and
Appoint A. w. Campbell senator.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal
WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 20.-A Charles
ton dispatch says: 1t is now more than
ever probable that the Legislature will ad-
iourn without electing Senator. General
Golf, so far as is now known, will qualify
as Governor, being lawfully entitled to do
so, and it is reasonably certain that he will
appoint Republican Senator to fill the va
cancy. In this connection it is said by
those who are near to General Golf that he
may appoint Hon. A. w. Campbell, one of
the proprietors of the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer, and until lately its managing
editor. There has been general demand
throughout the State for Campbelps
appointment, in view of this contingency.
Next to General Goff, he is the most popu-
lar Republican in the State, and has been
leader of the party in West Virginia since
its organization. John w. Mason and w.
III. IL. Flick are also mentioned, and Gov.
Golf is liable to fix upon either of the three,
though the chances are in favor of Mr..
Campbell at present.
The Democratic caucus tonight was
fizzle; nothing was accomplished. barely q
motion being made. Many members were alb
sent, and those present strolled In and ont

theirchoice, while the per sonal preferences
of the opposition preclude any CHANGE of an
election. Another caucus will be held to-
morrow night. but it is hardly possible the
senatorial situation will enter into
its deliberations. In case Golf takes
his oath of office March 4, it
is not now thought there will be
any fOrcible resistance to his assuming the
duties. Every Democratic lawyer of prom
inence in the State, outside of the Legisla-
ture, has denounced the Democratic posi-
tion as untenable, unconstitutional, and
revolutionary. and the sentiment of the
people is decidedly in favor of Goff,s claims.
The Democrats at Charleston are beginning
to see that they will not be sustained in an
effort to resist Goff7s assertion of his rights
under the Constitution. 1t is not believed
that Governor Wilson will long hold out
in the matter of asserting his power
to hold the office after GOff qualities. Word
comes from several towns that hundreds of
Republicans will be in Charleston on in
auguration day to back up Goff's claims, if
necessary.
There were two ballots taken for Senator
to-day. Kenna lost IL, which reduced him
to % on the second ballot Golf received 43,

Laboucheres London Letter.
My Paris correspondent writes: "The pho
tograph of Mary Vietsera has been exhib-
tied at the Figaro Office. You will never
persuade me that the girl with her counte-
nance committed suicide or so much as
dreamed of committing it. Her face has
great beauty of purely the carnal sort. She
looks like many women of Levantine origin

ever. prefer the face of Stephanie. The
eyes are good for perfectly vacant eyes.
She has full lips, commonplace retrOusse
nose. round cheeks, and her ear and neck
are pretty. If the Emperor of Austria had
secretly told the Pope to agree to Rudolph's
wish for divorce but to delay in granting
it the latter would have in all probability
outlived this passion; There is not the
in the unfortunate Mary. 1t seems mex
plicable that she should have played the
foremost part in the great historical
drama. The more think of her common
place physiognorly and the more / am told
of her and Rudolf, the stronger grows my
feeling that they were both Suicides"

FRENCH POLITICS.
NJ. De Freycinet Undertakes the Formation of
New Ministry.

NJ. De Freycinet Undertakes the Formation of
New Ministry.
PARIS, Feb. 2O.-M. De Freycinet has un-
dertaken to form Cabinet. and it is be-
lieved he will succeed President Carnot
this morning had consultation with Sem
ator Faye with reference 10 the formation
of senatorial Ministry. Subsequently, the
President urged NJ. DE Freycinet to accept
the premiership. NJ. De Freycinet, before
replying, wanted to consult his friends.
After long interview with NJ. Floquet. he
returned to the Elysee with NJ. Meline, and
told the President that he was willing to
do all in his power to relieve the country's
uncertainty, but that it was important, for
various reasons, that NJ. Meline should take
the premiership. NJ. Meline yielded TO NJ.
De Freycinet's persuasions, and both are
now jointly engaged in the task of forming
Cabinet. in which it is probable NJ. De
Freycinet will take the war portfolio.
At meeting of the three Republican u
groups of the Senate, to-day, General Billot,
in a. violent speech, combated the idea of a
Cabinet presided over bv NJ. De Freycinet.
The meeting sent III. Barley to convey to
President CarnOt an assurance Of confidence.
1t is reported that NJ. De Freycinet's con-
sent TO form Ministry was obtained by
President Carnot's granting him power to
&issolve the Chamber, which power he has
hitherto persistently refused TO grant.
Press comments on the political situation
are getting to be ominous. 1t is asserted
that President Carnot's Difference to his
secretary. NJ. Puvier. is solely in the inter-
ests of the Opportunists. The Soliel says
that the situation has striking resem-
blance to that which preceded the down
fall of President Grevy. The Au-
torite asserts that several Depu-
ties have decided that unless
q Ministry is formed tomorrow they will
move suspension of the sitting until 5
O'Clock, to compel President Carnot to
make up his mind. This process was
adopted against President Grevy. 1t is
stated that NM. ROuvier, Goblet and La
Croix will be included in the Meline-Freyci
net com bination.
LONDON, Feb. H.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times says: with sincere re-
gret it must be said that President Carnot,
during this crisis, has made a very poor i'm
preston regarding his capacity as ruler,
and that he has virtually ceased to exist as
head of the executive. Only the profound
respect for his honesty and patriotism
shields him. His political weakness is a
real misfortune for the nation just now"
