WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 49,
Hon. Thomas +. Grady will leave New
York tomorrow for West Virginia to
take part in the campaign. He will
speak Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday OF next week at points des-
ignated by the Chairman of the State
Executive Committee.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Ma
son is doing everything possible TO de-
feat Hon. w. l.. Wilson, and, it is
claimed, is using the entire influence Of
the Internal Revenue Bureau to effect
that purpose. For months past he has
had the empolyes of the Internal
Revenue bureau stationed in the Second
district, ostensibly on public business,
but in reality as electioneering agents
against Mr.. Wilson. The records of
the office show that all the whisky, eX-
cepting one barrel of 45 gallons, was
was taken out of bond June, 1890; that
barrel was kept in the bonded ware
house with Mr.. L. 5. Davis aS store
keeper and gauger watching it until the
Both day of September, 1890, just one
hundred days at two dollars per day.
Davis is not the only person who has
been doing dirty work for the Republi-
cans in Wilson's district. A fellow
named Baker, storekeeper and gauger,
is kept at Cline's distillery, in Hamp-
shire county, professedly ''watching" a
few gallons of whisky, but in reality
doing recruiting work for the Republi-
can party all the time. Both have been
holding meetings in the mountain re-
gions and back counties, telling the most
outrageous falsehoods about Mr.. Will
sons record at Washington.
Pownall, deputy collector in Hamp-
shire county, is experimenting the
campaign against Wilson and has been
on the stump in that locality for sever
al weeks past.
The Democratic National Committee
will make an effort to send number OF
influential Speakers to Wilson's district
within the next couple of weeks. Sem
ator Carlisle, Congressman Bently Nc
MILAN, of Tennessee, Amos Cummings,
Of New York, and Senator German, Of
Maryland, will be asked by the Nation
al Committee to make couple OF
speeches each for Wilson.

monster 'Ed. Gallop" gave snort and
sprang forward, threw the truck and
cut through the freight car and
other debris. Burns, with won
derful fortitude, held the lever.
and the moment he had cleared the
obstruction, reversed his engine and
threw on the air brake. As the train

PERRY, MIcH., October 19.-ThreC
miles from this village have lived FOL
many years VIM. Fillinger and his wife.
Last summer they attended series OF
revivalS and became religious mad in a
mild way. With them lived Fillingcr's
mother, who has long been physically
frail. 1t worried Fillinger and his wife
that the older woman was unbaptlSed,
and yesterday they decided that the re-
ligious rite should ho performed, al
though the poor woman was con-
fined to her bed, unable even to
rise. Taking water to her
room they began the ceremony
by dashing water in her face, and con-
tinued it until from sheer exhaustion
their victim ceased to struggle. The
Mortified fanatics then discovered too
late that she was dead. Soon after
reighbors were attracted to the house,
and discovering the dead body, took
charge of the nearly crazed pair. They
also rescued little child, whom they
assert the couple was about to submit
to a similar deadly baptism. The cou'
pie were brought here, arraigned before
ESQUIRE Bolt and then taken to jail at
Corunna. The inquest will be held
Monday.

4 PRINCELY DUEL.
Royalty Steals a Sweetheart aud Pays the
Deadly Forfeit

New YORK, October IA Dunlap
Paris cable gives the romantic story In
connection with the trial and acquittal
of Lieutenant Wernert. on the charge
OF deSertiOu. Wernert had fought two
duelS and had disappeared. In extenu-
alton he would only say that he had
family reasons which he would not make
public. The true inwardneSS OF the af-
fair is as follows:
In May last be disappeared, and for
three months there was no trace of him
and uO message came from him TO indi-
cate his whereabouts. ~ the end Of
that time it was learned that Wernert
was then and had been at the home OF
his parents at SchieSStadt, in AlSace.
When this discovery was made the
French papers almost unanimously con-
demned him rs q deSerter to Germany,
and went SO FAR as TO say that he had
sold charts Of the defenSes Of TOulOn TO
the enemy.
His friends were naturally aghaSt at
at the charge, since death alone would
be the punishment II he was caught.
As soon as Wernert saw the attacks, he
made up his mind not 20 delay, but 10
return and face the music, with what
result has already been told.
Now comes the love part of the story.
Some time ago Wernert loved beauti-
fu girl. who returned his affection,
and "a marriage was arranged between
them. But the villain OF the
drama made his appearance
in the usual style. This one was an
Italian Prince. and he soon began 10
pay court % the Lientenant'S beautiful
iancee. She was fascinated by the
Italians manners and title. Wernert
would not give her up without Strug-
gle. He warned her Of her peril. and
threatened 90 kill the Prince if anything
happened TO the girl.
Upon this the Prince sent challenge
90 the young Lieutenant, who accepted
it. The meeting took place in the lat
ter's garden. and the weapons chosen
were swords After some passes Wern-
ert ran the Prince through the body,
and he was carried of unconscious and
died soon afterward. To ayengc the
friends death one OF the Princes sec
ond's sent Wernert another challenge,
which. too, was accepted. The scene
was the same spot In the garden where
the former duel had taken place.
I'm this encounter, however, Lieuten-
ant Wernert was slightly wounded, but
+ his opponent suffered as seriously rs his
ROYAL friend. and like him was carried
Oh the field unconscious, and it Is be-
Hcycl has since died.
These are the facts that led To the
LicutenantS flight. for on hearing the
tragic result OF his action he became
fearful Of the consequence and He'd the
country. Before the Court-martial he
refused 20 throw any light on the mat
ter or 90 furnish any proofs of his ln-
nocence. He merely said: do with
me as you please" Luckily for him
the real story as above given, was known
t1 the Court. and the trial resulted In
his acQuittal as told Yesterday.
