Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. I
NEW York, Jan. 10.-Mrs. Wilhelmina
Lebkuchner, who poisoned her three bows
and herself ON March 81, 1888, in her rooms
at 154 west Twenty eighth street, died
Wednesday. She was a widow; her nus
band is said to have been son of well-to-
do brewer. Mrs. Lebkuchner was a ser
want in the employ of his family He died
three years bef0r the poisoning leaving two
children. He left no means and his family
gave his widow and children no assistance.
Mrs. Lebkuchner went out as a laundress
by day to support her children and herself.
A child was born to her a year after her
husbands death. This child, Charles, aged
two years, and George, aged four, died
from the effects Of poison. Anthony, the
Oldest boy and Mrs. Lebkuchner, recov-
cred. Mrs. Lebkuchner was indicted for
murder in the first degree. While she was
awaiting trial in the Tombs she gave birth
to another child girl. The child died be-
fore the trial. Last March Mrs. Lebkuch-
ner was acquitted of murder, the Jury
holding that she was mad when she ad-
miniSteed the poison. AS Jury has al
ready held that she had recovered her
sanity she was released She resumed
work as laundress. Lawyer Heinzleman
collected $3.50 from an industrial insurance
company, which issues policies upon the
lives OF whole families, as insurance upon
the lives of the two murdered children.
Part OF this money enabled Mrs. Lebkuch-
ner to purchase furniture for herself and
her surviving child Anthony. On Monday
she was delivered of boy. She died Wed
nesday morning of blood poisoning. The
child is likely to live

Trouble Over Negro Children in
an Illinois School.
NATIONAL MILITARY PARK.
Almost a Serious Riot-A Terrific Scare
Deadly Termination of Intimate Relations
Fannie Keener will Not Die.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 10.-An Alton, Ills,
special to the Republic, says that trouble
over the admission of colored children to
the public schools in the white districts,
has broken out afresh This question has
been up two or three times and the courts
have decided that colored children are en-
titled under the organic law to attend the
same schools as the whites. A strong OPP
position was developed, however, and as
the great mass of the colored people in up
per Alton.lived in one. district,a school build
ing was set apart for their use The school
board redistricted the town to meet the
emergency. This, however, did not long salts
~ the negroes, who have been threatening
that they would force their way into the
high school building, and with that end in
view they recently instituted mandamus
proceedings to compel the board to re-
district the town on a more equal baSiS.n
Pending decision few negro families
moved into the high school district, and
yesterday eight or ten colored children, ac-
| companied by their parents, applied for
admission. The superintendent assigned
them to rooms in the lower grades. They
were not, however, assigned by the
teachers. At the forenoon recess the
colored children were driven off the
grounds by the whites, and did not
return during the day. AT the hour for
opening school to-day, however, they, ac-
companied by their parents, marched to
the high school building and demanded ad-
mittance. A body of white citizens who
had assembled resisted the demand, and
the city marshal on searching several of
the negroes found revolvers and other
| weapons in their possession. Many of the
whites were also found armed, but hostili-
ties were prevented by the judicious action
of the authorities.
AT a meeting this afternoon the school
board resolved to dismiss the colored peo-
pie in ''colored DISTRICT and substitute a
mixed school in its place. Action was also
taken for establishing boundary lines
which will admit some of the blacks to .he
high school building. This is victory for
the blacks and a good deal of bitterness is
expressed. The whites threaten to desert
the schools and default on their school
| taxes.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. dispatch
New YORK, Jan. 10.-The four men in the
grasp OF the law quartered with prominent
members of the sporting fraternity who
were arrested ON Governor Lowry's requi-
sition Wednesday, took things pretty coolly
yesterday. A. E. Harding was the only
one of the four who appeared to be in the
least concerned over the matter. He was
at his desk in the Police Gazette office all
day, and tried unsuccessfully to conceal
his nervousness. Several friends visited
him during the afternoon, and their as
surances that he would pull through the
scrape all right seemed to comfort him con-
siderably. Prof. Donovan, Muldoon and
Cleary enjoyed themselves as they usually
do. Both Charley johnson and James
Wallely are still taking vacation. and
they will probably remain in seclusion for
some time. It was reported last evening
that johnson had been arrested, but the
rumor could not be verified He did not
visit his saloon in Brooklyn and certainly
was not taken into custody at his home,
from which he has now been absent two
days. Frank Stevens is not in the least
disturbed at the prospect of being arrested,
and is ready at any time to furnish bail
He had not been arrested up to late hour

her father, j. G. Gillespie, in Chattanooga.
Her aunt Miss Florence Whiteside, hav-

that nothing was really the matter with

The Worlds Fair Site.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Discussion of the
worlds fair bill by the House committee
on foreign affairs resulted in bringing for
ward proposition which, it is suggested.
may aid in the selection of a site for the
fair by the House The committee has
already decided that it will report a bill
leaving blank the name of the CITY where
the fair is to be held, but it is feared that
If it goes into the House in that shape and
without some arrangements in advance to
govern the method Of the selection of the
site, that an agreement can never be
reached under ordinary parliamentary
rules The probable course of proceed
ing in the House would be for some mem
Der to move to insert the name of a site.
Some other member would thereupon move,
to strike out the name and insert another
On vote on this last proposition, the op-
position would combine to defeat it, and
this would probably be the fate of the orig
inal and succeeding motions of advocates
OF different cities desiring to secure the
proposed fair, killing each other off in sue
cession. To avoid this the sub committee
charged with consideration of the fair bill
has taken hint from the action of the ap-
preparation committee in securing alterna-
tive action upon certain clauses of the
District of Columbia appropriation bill, and
incline to report special proposition
which will provide fer repeated ballots in
the House, upon the question of naming
site for the fair, with an agreement that on
each ballot the name of the city receiving
the least number of votes shall be dropped.
and in this way it is believed a conclusion
can soon be reached
