MYSTERY CLEARED.
NEW HAMPSHIRE MURDER CASE.
HeadlesS Body Of the Victim Found in the
Woods.
WIDOW IDENTIFIES THE BODY.
The Cham Of Evidence Tightening Around
the Accused.

BosToY, February 15.-Tbe discovery
of the msugled body at Lebanon, Me-,
will in all probability clear up the Saw
telle mystery.
Mrs. Sawtelle, the wife of Hiram Saw
telle, the missing man, left this city for
East Lebanon, Maine, this morning, in
company with an officer. She expressed
herself as confident that she could identify
the body in spite of its msngled condition.
She says her husband was in the habit of
wearing low cut shoes, and the shoes had
caused permanent mark on his ankles by
which she could identify his BODY.
A dispatch from Rochester, N. H., ssye:
In the confusion incident to the first ram
bling efforts to drive to the bottom of the
flood of puzzling facts, and through mex
plicsble insdvertence on the part of Smart,
the Rochester liveryman, from whom
Isaac Sawtelle had hired conveysnces, the
fact was overlooked that the suspected
Isaac had hired horse and buggy at the
stables on Wednesday, February 5, the
day that Hiram came to Rochester from
Boston, and the next thing in order
would be a minute examination Of
the buggy used on this occa-
sion. The buggy has been examined, and
it confirmed the worst suspicious. Great
clots of dried blood were found on the un-
der side of the seat cushion and on the
carpet floor mat. There were evidences
of attempts to remove these telltsle stains,
but they had been far fIom effective. The
cushion was covered with olive green
cloth on one side and smooth black oil
cloth on the other. On the oil-cloth side,
or bottom, were large brownish-red spots,
obviously blood, and in the hollows about
The buttons with which the seat was
bound were solidified clots.
1t was apparent the keen criminal had
turned the cushion wrong side up, recog-
nizing that if the blood flowed on the oil
cloth the traces of it could be more easily
obliterated. But he had forgotten the rug
in the bottom of the buggy in his fiendish
preparations, for this was thickly spotted
with blood stains. and one corner oft had
been literally soaked in blood, where the
crimson fl1id had run into the former cor
ner of the box and settled. Both
the seat snd rug bore indications of
efforts to clean them with rag and water,
and this was probably done on the We'd
nesday afternoon or evening when 1t Is
supposed the murder was committed; !;
since, while the rig was not closely exam
ineG upon it's return to the barn that
night, it is altogether probable that fresh
blood stains and thick clots undiluted
would have been noticed, either then or
the next day. But they were not, ard
even Liveryman Smart WAS horrifed when
they were pointed out TO him.

COMING into POWER
PRINCE ALEXANDER RISING
Appointed to an Important Military Or
fee.
ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS AHEAD.
A Man Too Able to Remain Long In OBJ
sCurity.

LONDON, February 15.-The sppoint-
ment, by the Emperor of Austria, of
Prince Alexander, of Bstterberg, 10 the
COlonelcy Of an Austrian regiment, is gem
orally regarded as evidence that the Young
man will at no distant day resume his for
mer prominence in European politics, an
event which will ensure the enlivenment
of political affairs at several of the Conti-
mental capitals.
1t will be recalled that Piince Alexsn-
der was General in the Austrian army
during the time he occupied the throne Of
Bulgaria, and also held position Of simi
lar rank in the military service of Prussia
and Of Russia. Besides these nominal or
complimentary commands he held posi-
tion in the admiration of the European
soldiery generally, and the Bulgarian
army particularly, as an actual commander
OF signal ability IA time OF war, his right
to which reputation 10 man could more
thoroughly attest, il he would, than his
whilom adversary ex-King Milan, of Ser
via.
Moreover, the Prince developed the
qualities of stitesmanship to degree
which marked him as msu destined TO
become the peer of the leading diplomats
and politicians OF Europe, and il was bis
misfortune that he sLOuld have become
so involved in the meshes Of the all-pre-
vsiling intrigue OF the time that he found
it eIpedient to turn hia back upon Rcssis,
to which power he owed more than any
other, or all others. Then followed his
dsthroneneut, his banishment from Bull
gsria, and his gradual disappsarance from
public view. But he is too able man 10
remain long in obscurity-he being the
sole possessor OF the Bsttenberg brains-
and Emperor Francis Joseph is to be con-
gcstulated that he mas ended the term of
Alexander's retirement and secursd his
services.
The statement that Prince Alexander is
to be raised to the rank Of General within
short tina meets with general credence
and approval wherever he is known, and
ths prediction is freely made that he will
yet wear crown and occupy a throne
whose stability will not be dependent upon
the csprice of any individual sovereign or
menecet by the Vaccinations Of spies and
traitors. the resurrection, so TO speak. of
the erstwhile ruler Of Bulgaris will per-
hsps be unwelcome news TO the Car,
Queen Victoria and the German Emperor,
for variety Of well known reasons, but it
is not likely that any one of them will
strew HE path with obstacles.

pany the President to PittsbuIg. While
in Pittsburg the President and Mr.. Blaine
will be the guests of Mr.. Carnegie, and a

has jurisdiction over saloons in this city.
LAST summer Heinssen was arrested by
county officials for selling liquor on Sun

Court. The case was made test, and
taken to the Supreme Court, the defense
claiming that by the special charter grant
ed Denver by the Legislature the city had
sole control over saloons and houses of
ill-repute, and that neither county nor
State had Jurisdiction. The csse has been
bitterly contested and the decision may
result in the closing of all saloons on Sun

CAUGHT BETWEEN STATIONS
A Singular Accident on the Union Pscifi
Road,

A Singular Accident on the Union Pacific
Road.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, February Is "A sim
gular accident happened to freight train
on the Union Pacific Railroad near Odessa
Yesterday. On account of unavoidable
delays and through the absence OF orders
it was caught between stations and was
running on the time of the fast mail train.
The engineer of the freight tried to fiud a
sidins to crawl into to avoid collision.
The heavy mogul was pushed to its fullest
driving capacity, coal was piled into the
fire box and the engine responding to The
will of the engineer, flew over the
track at a speed never before attained by
freight train. After Odessa was reached
the driving wheels of the engine were
melted or burned off, and they left the
rails, and the cars behind were piled upon
each other. Fortunately the engineer and
fireman escaped without injury, although
they were buried under the wreckage,
which was piled upon the cab of the loco
motive. The conductor of the freight pre-
vented the fast mail from running into the
wreck by going up the track and display
ing signals in time to prevent terrible
catastrophe.

FIRE BUG ABROAD.

A Missouri Town Thrown 'nto a Fever OF
Excitement.
MARCELINE, Mo, February 15.-This
little town has been in a crszs of excite
ment for nearly week ever repeated at
tempts to burn it down. The frat fire was
one entailipg a loss of nearly 500, 600.
Seven of the best buildings in the town
we're at this time consumed, and those
who were attempting to extinguish the
fire in one of the buildings were horror
stricken to see dead body partially wrap
ped in sheet lying on table in the back
room of a PHYSICIANS Office. The flames
spread so rapidly that no effort was made
to break in the building. After the flames
had subsided the blsckened body of the
corpse was found in the ruins. An effort
was then made to find how the body came
there, and also how the fire originated.
Within the last few days several more
buildings were burned, and Thursday
night a rolling mill owned by R. F. White
and Fred ]. Schuff, was burned. Twenty
five thousand dollars worth of wheat was
burned in the building, and the cost about
$4,000. Large rewards have been offered
for the incendisIies.

Comments of the Tory Weekliss On the
Commissions Report.
LONDON, February 15.-The high class
weeklies are mainly Tory in their poll
tics, and they take a view of the Com
missions report entirely unfavorable to
Mr.. Parne,l.
The Spectator, for example, holds that
the report will have grrat effect in con-
vincing the country that the popular
party in Ireland is controlled by forces
which are radically opposed 10 the Union.
The Economist defiss "the most hide
bound partissns to blame the Government
for striving to put down criminal con-
spiraoy, which was criminal both in its OBJ
iects and it's mode ofaction, and 10 relieve
the people of Ireland from an intolerable
tyranny maintained by murder and out
RACES"
The Saturday ReUiet0 says: "The report
ought to convince the nation that the
English party which is allied with men
whose acts aud language the Commission
denounces, has forfeited all claim to the
confidence, and even to the respect, OF
their fellow countrymen."
