AN Ex-SoLDIER PARDONED.
President Harrison Reduces tht
Sentence of a Colored EX-Soldier.

President Harrison Reduces the
Sentence of a Colored Ex-Soldier.
Fred L. McGhee, a colored attorney of
this city, has just succeeded in obtaining
from President Harrison a tull and free
pardon for a colored ex-soldier named
Lewis Carter, who was sentenced by a court
marshal to the state prison at Saltwater tor
ninety-nine years. The pardon is to go
into effect on May 25 next just five years
after the date Carter's imprisonIa ent began.
Carter was member of the Twenty-hith
Infantry, which was stationed at Fort Smell
ing prior to Jan. l, 1885. Shortly after that
date, when Carter's company was trans
ferred to another post, he was arrested on
the charges of rape, assault robbery and
desertion. A court martial was convened,
and Carter was tried and found guilty of the
four offenses. The sentence OF the court
martial was that he be confined in the prison
at Saltwater for the period of ninety-nine
years. Some time ago Mr.. McGhee became
interested in the case, and was soon satisfied
that an injustice had been perpetrated. He
found the woman who was said to have
been assaulted, and she made an affidavit
that Carter did not commit rape or even
assault her. Then evidence was secured
that no robbery had been committed. The
evidence was forwarded to President Har-
rison, who carefully examined the whole
case, and decided that Carter was guilty
only of desertion. Five years was consid-
cred sufficient punishment for that offense
and the pardon will apply to the remainder
of the sentence.

FOR HIS MONEY.
Henry Merre, a Wealthy Iowa
Farmer, Murdered by
Thieves.
Between Political Parties
in Peru, in Which Many
are Killed,

CLINTON, Iowa, Special Telegram,
twenty miles north of here, at the
little village of Browns. Clinton county,
horrible murder was discovered. A mile
anu half from the station, the house To-
Gated in dense grove of timber, lived
Henry Nurre, a wealthy German farmer,
and his wife. They lived alone and not
having been seen since Monday a relative
went to the house this morning, and as he
entered the kitchen an awful sight met his
eyes. Upou the. floor at his feet lay the
dead body of Henry Nurre. His throat
had been cut and his head crushed in, the
latter done with hammer. A bloody
trail led to the sitting room, where upon
table lay letter just completed, but not
inclosed, bearing date of March IL.
Continuing the search, the aged wife was
found in an upper room still living, but
fatally injured and in cOmatose condi-
ton. Her head has been beaten to q Jelly
with hammer, breaking the bone and
leaving the brain exposed. Mr.. Nurre was
an old man OF seventy-six years of age, was
very wealthy and had resided in Clinton
county for nearly fifty years. He had been
justice of the peace for about twenty
years, transacting great deal of business
aid frequently keeping large sums of
money in the house. From traces left it
would seem at least three were concerned
in the murder. The combination had
been broken off the safe but the scoundrels
failed to open it. In the house was a
satchel containing LOO in cash which
they failed to secure. About all they got
for their bloody work was a small sum
from the pockets of their victims. There is
no clue to the wretches, and as far as is
known no one saw the awful deed done
save the perpetrators themselves. Great ex-
element prevails. The sheriffs of two
counties are there and the coroner of Clin-
ton county has gone and will hold an in
quest at once. A dispatch received from
Theodore Huelman at Browns offers s., 900

BISMARCK RESIGNS.
Prince Bismarck Said to Have Re-
signed all His Posts.

BERLIN, ,aSpecial.-It is stated that both
Prince Bismarck and Count Herbert Bis
marck have resigned and that the emperor
accepted the resignation of the chancellor.
All kilograms are vigorously inspected by
the authorities, and are stopped if they go
beyond announcing rumors. The imme-
diate and ostensible cause of the resigna-
ton of Prince Bismarck is divergence of
opinion between the chancellor and emperor
concerning factory inspectors. 1t is re-
ported that the emperor has refused to &C
cept Count Herbert Bismarck's resignation.
Gen. Won Capr1vi is mentioned as the sue
cessor of the chancellor. Something must
have occurred in connection with the
labor conference to cause Prince Bismarck's
unexpected action. The duke of Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha, who arrived yesterday, ap-
pears to have tBiled in his attempt to me-
diate between the emperor and the chancel-
lor.
COLOGNE, Special.-The Gazette's CORE
spondent in Berlin says he believes that
Prince Bismarck will Immediately retire
from all the posts now held by
him. A meeting of the cabinet,
the correspondent says was held
this afternoon, at which Prince Bismarck
presided to deliberate upon the position
which would arise from the chancellor's
resignation.

DASENSATION
Sun Prairie, Wis, Excited
Over the Alleged Blackmail-
ing of One of it's Citizens.
The Commissioner of Pensions
Will Consider Pensions
i'm Their Turn.

MADISON, Wis, Special Telegram,
In the cases of w. w. Meredith and
Peter Hansman the commercial travellers
who are charged with trying to blackmail
George Maloney of Sun Prairie, the allega-
tons which the prosecution makes are that
the defendants by and with the conniVance
of certain pretty milliner in Sun Prairie,
set trap for Maloney, into which he read
lily fell. Letters are in the possession of the
sheriff which show that the woman, a
pretty, dashing, young married creature,
whose former home was in Lodi, told the
drummers when to come to her residence,
where to stand to best watch Maloney's
movements, and where. they might see
everything that he did while in
her company. They are said to have sta
toned themselves at the point mentioned
and there obtained visual evidence of I'M
due gallantry on the part of Maloney, him
self married man, which they proceeded
to turn into cash by threatening Maloney
with an exposure which would bring dis
grace upon himself and sorrow upon his
family. 1t is stated that
IN ONE OF THE LETTERS
to the comp. aiming witness in the alleged
blackmailIng proceedings the defendants
say substantially: "Mr. Maloney, we have
i'll our hands your reputation, your home,
your good name, your family peace; now
plank down So, 5O0." The evidence against
the drummers is of an ugly character, be-
ing, as it is in large part, letters over the
signatures of the defendants aud Aforesaid
coquettish mi1liner. A demand was
made upon the sheriff by the
attorneys Tor the defense for this evidence,
but that officer refused point blank to re-
linquish single piece of the paper in his
possession until ordered by the court to do
so. The defendants were arrested at one OF
the hotels while quietly rejoicing in game
OF cinch and appeared TO be quite taken
back at the procedure. One OF them, it is
said, protessed to be detective, and If so,
prosecution may be begun against him for
the personation OF an officer for the purpose
of cxtorting money from Maloney. The
latter has refused to take any action look
ing to the arrest of the milliner. although
advised to do so by competent legal author
ity, and this act has been cited as peculiar
if she is, as claimed, equally as guilty as the
defendants in the suit. In any way the case
is viewed, it abounds in spicy features and
is the sensation of the hour in Sun Prairie.
