A MYSTERY STILL.
Chicago Police Have Plenty of Theories.
But No Facts Bearing Upon the Denth
of Mrs. Jennie Binghnm-A
Similar Ranorfad


of Mrs. Jennie Binghnm-A
Similar Case Reported.
CHICAGO, March 19.-The inquest into
the cause of death of Mrs. Jennie Bingham,
whose body was found on Garfield boulevard
on Sunday night was begun to-day. Mrs.
Jessie McGarvey. of Wauwatosa, Wis,
mother of the dead woman, and her sister,
Mrs. C. L. Sparks, were the only witnesses
examined. They told of Jennie's life in
Milwaukee; of her marriage to Major Bing-
ham, and of her subsequent separation from
him on hearing that he had another wife in
New York, but they could throw no light
upon the manner of her death. Chief Of
Police Marsh has discovered that the woman
was addicted to the use of morphine, and
that she had attempted to commit suicide,
alleging this as the cause. His theory is
that she went driving with someone-the
police believe with a hackman from Mil
waukee-whom they are trying to locate;
that, with liquor and morphine, she be-
came helpless and fell out of the buggy, in
ficting the injuries which were found Oh
her body, and that her companion, panic
stricken, drove rapidly away, leaving her
to her fate. Chief Marsh has received a
telegram from Chief Jansen, of Milwaukee,
establishing an alibi for 'Major" Bingham,
who, he says, was at the County Hospital on
Sunday and Monday.
Mrs. Bingham's remains were taken to
Milwaukee tonight by her mother and
sister. ....
A case entirely similar to that supposed to
have been experienced by Mrs. Bingham
was told to the police to-day by Mrs. Katie
Hamilton. She says that hack driver in
duced her to enter his hack, after they had
drank together in restaurant, to be driven
to her home; that she remembers nothing
from that time till the next morning, when
she found herself lying in a vacant lot,
robbed of her money and jewelry. She be-
lieves she was drugged.

BERLIN, March 19.-Prince Bismarck 8
letter, rendering his resignation and giving
his reasons, covers 20 pages. General Won
Caprivi, Commander Of the Tenth Army
Corps, has been appointed Chancellor of the
Empire, to succeed Prince Bismarck.
It's reported that the Emperor was an
noyed at Bismarck for interviewing Wind
thorst without consulting him. 1t is certain
that Bismarck did not intend to resign at
present, because he wished to avoid the i'm
preston that the elections caused him to re-
sign. He intended to make great political
speech on the re-opening of the
Reichstag and to await chance for
an impressive exit from the political
scene. Several German relgning princes
tried to mediate. Bismarck is in excellent
spirits. He suffers from insomnia and earn
estly desires rest. His family, and especially
his wife, is glad that he resigned.
Herr Won Boetticher becomes President of
the Prussian Ministry. Count Gutenberg,
Governor OF Hesse-N Nassau, succeeds Herr
Won Boetticher as Minister of the Interior.
Count Herbert Bismarck will receive an
ambassadorship. Ministers Herr Furth
and Maybac have resigned the latter be-
cause he lost Prince Bismarck's support
against the demands Tor increased strategic
communications.

consolidation takes effect, and if a stockhOlder
refuses to consolidate, and the Board of
Directors desiring to consolidate, cannot agree
as to the value of such stock, the parties may
submit the question to arbitration. which
arbitration shall be conducted in accordance
with the law regulating arbitrations, SO far as

are trying to consolidate with roads whose
earnings will not pay expenses. Under the
present law the minority stockholders are
at the mercy of the Pennsylvania Company,
holding fve-sixths of the stock. The Pan
handle in the past six years, he held, had
made profit Of $4,000, 900, while the Chi

o'clock this afternoon the east wall of the
Becker block, adjoining the burned Bowen
Merrill block, crushed down on top of the

the ruins and ordered that the front wall of
the Bowen-Merrill building be torn down.
This was done, and half hour later the
Becker building, narrow four story
structure occupied by a notion store, fell
down in a heap. Then the flames broke out
again in the ruins and up to 10 o'clock had
not been wholly extinguished, though
flood OF water has been pouring onto the
piles of wreckage. There is, however, no
fear of further loss of life, though the three
story front stone building, occupied by
George w. Sloan, druggist is regarded as
unsafe. and there are fears that the drygoods
house Of b. P. WATSON may also succumh.
Under the ruins there is known to be the
body of one fireman, Henry Woodruff who
was caught in Mondays collapse. Further
than this it is not believed that the casual
ties will be extended.

$4,000; George w. SloaD, druggist, $1,000,
and several stocks of goods have been more
or less damaged. Tomorrow the funerals
of the dead fremen will occur. The sub
scriptions for the relief of their families are
growing rapidly and now approximate
$1,000.

John NJ Ward, the popular leader of the
Brotherhood of Baseball Players, passed

of the Players League and expressed himself
TO the effect that it is certain success. He
said: ''Our team, that is the Brooklyn team, is

IN the new League: some of the best that have
been seen on the ball field"
Speaking of the Pickett case, Mr.. Ward said:
"All there is in it is this: If Pickett had signed

must go to Kansas City, / am opposed to act

turn to the PLAYERS ranks.
Tonight Colonel John i. Rogers Is out IN

Thompson to the Buffalo Players club and
Gleason to Pittsburg.
Colonel Rogers points out the inconsistencies
in the Brotherhood argument on players under

Joe Mulvey, which do not reflect great credit
upon the Brotherhood management. Colonel
Rogers says Mulyey may be restrained bv the
Philadelphia club. Under Judge Thayer's de-
cisiou he can be held, but the PHILADELPHIA
management will take no steps toward secur-
ing him unless Manager Wright thinks he will,
