THE GIRL WAS MURDERED.
Important Developments in the Case of
Emma Pftzenmeyer.

Important Developments in the Case of
Emma Pfitzanmeyer.
CHESTER, Pa, Dec. S.--Important de-
velopments in the case of Emma Pfitzen-
meyer, who was found in her sisters
house with her throat cut, have come
to light. The body of the unfortu nate
girl was not buried as supposed, but
instead was merely lowered into the
grave in the presence of the assembled
mourners.
After they had left the coffin was
lifted out of the open grave and taken to
the chapel, where DR.. Formal, the we'll
known Philadelphia expert, made Sec
ond post mortem examination. He dis
covered a wound on the head that had
been overlooked and demonstrated to
those assembled that any one of the
wounds in the girls throat would have
caused her death, thus clearly establish
ing the fact that she was murdered.
The body was then consigned to the
grave.
Several persons have made affidavits
that they heard struggles and cries
within the Schmidt household on the
fatal night. Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt
have ali along maintained that they
heard no sounds.
The theory of tn ose working on the
case is that Emma was murdered by
Mrs. Schmidt after je alous quarrel. It
is thought that the Schmidts will be
taken into custody to-day. The inquest
will be held in a day or two.

WORK OF CONGRESS
Debate on the Elections Bill

A Proposition May be Made to Establish
the Previous Question.

Thirty-Three Public Building Bills

publican Leaders I'm Conference.
WASHINGTON, Dec s.-The Republican
Caucus Committee has not determined
on an order of business as yet, SO moth
poets of business in that body, except
that the debate on. the Federal
Elections bill will be pushed forward
during the week.
The Elections bill is the unfinished
business in the Senate, and as such it
comes up each day at 2 o'clock. If the
Democratic Senators continue to speak
at length in opposition to the bill during
his week the Republican Senators will
doubtless insist that it be taken up i'm
mediately after the mornings business,
to the exclusion of calendar business, in
order that it may be brought to vote
at as early a day as possible. Senator
Blair may make another effort during
the week to get the Labor bills before
the Senate, but this is extremely doubt
full. So much opposition has developed
that he does not care to make the issue
on the question of consideration.
Should the caucus committee deem it
necessary to bring in the proposition to
change the rules so as to establish the
previous question, the debate on the
Elections bill may be diverted into dis
cussion of this question; but it is alto
gether unlikely that the committee will
act at this time. A great many of the
Republican Senators believe that,
rather than see the rules changed and so
much power put in the hands of the
majority. the Democrats will virtually
consent to the passage of the Elections
bill.
The Committee on Appropriations
will get to work on the Pension bill this
week, and will doubtless be ready to re-
port it before the week is out.

BLAINE AND ALGER.
Republican Leaders in Conference at
Washington.

Republican Leaders in Conference at
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Politicians who
have been watching the movements of a
group of Republican leaders are asking
If James G. Blaine is to head the ticket
in '92, and if Gen. Russell A. Alger is to
be his running mate. One of the most
distinguished visitors here is General
Alger himself. Others are Vice Chair
man James S. Clarkson and Secretary j.
Sloat Fassett, of the Repu blican National
COMMITTEES; Gen. John N. Knapp, chair
man of the New York Republican State
COMMITTEES; Chairman Charles Kitchener,
of the Indiana Republican State
Committee; M. NJ. Este, national COM
mitteeman from California, and ex-Sen-
ator Thomas G. Platt.
The presence here of these leaders and
the meetings held at intervals through
out the day, very naturally produced no
end of gossip, and the Arlington corri-
doris were thronged with politicians in
search of information.
The conference is very secret, but one
Republican manager was communicative.
He said:
"Other party leaders will be here this
evening. We are discussing what is best
to do to put the party i'll trim in 49,
There has been considerable talk of
Blaine and Alger for our ticket, although
Alger may lead. That is all care to
say at present."
