MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Chicago Woman's Terrible Death
Robbed and Murdered on the Prairie.

The Chicago police have another murder
mystery on their hands. Late Sunday night q
woman was found lying in the road at the in
tersection of the 55th street railroad and Nor
gan street. She was removed to the hospital
where she died without recovering conscious
ness. Her name was Mrs. Jennie Bingham
formerly Of Milwaukee, but known in Chicago
as Jennie McGarvin When Jennie left her Sis.
ter's at o'clock Sunday night to go to the home
OF Zach Taylor, the man who had usurped the
place of the woman's only legal husband, Major
Bingham of Milwaukee, she disappeared from
the world. When Taylors work was over he
went to his home, at 246 Wabash avenue, but
his mistress had not yet returned. He did not
see her again until he identified her body at
the county hospital The woman, when she
left her sisters house to go home wore plush
cloak with black fur trimmings and a velvet
bonnet. She also wore one of.Taylor's hand
kerchiefs about her throat While her friends
say that she never drank liquor to excess it is
known that she often drank beer while in the
company Of her friendA She had been drink
ing beer Sunday night. There is little doubt
that the woman was dosed with liquor by a
jealous lover, driven to the desolate spot on the
prairie and there robbed and murdered.

BISMARCK'S RETIREMENT.
Gen Caprivi Likely to Succeed Him
How the Affair 10 Received.

Speaking Of Bismarck's resignation the Co
logne Gasette says that Bismarck, during the
old emperor's reign, got notion that he was
the real sovereign, but the present emperor on
ascending the throne showed an intention to
assert his imperial rights. He showed that he
had views Of his own and consulted outsiders,
q practice most odious to Bismarck, who
thought his own voice only should be heard
he bluntly expressed his disapproval Of the
emperor's socialistic policy. The heads Of the
new imperial Offices will be Bennington, Maguel
and Huene. Bismarck will most likely be
created duke. The socialists are m uch elated
and claim that Bismarck's downfall is due to
them.
Confirmation Of the report that Prince Bis
marck's resignation had been accepted caused
tremendous sensation in political circles in
Vienna and the almost immediate retirement of
Coun. Kalnoky is looked for in consequence.
The chsncellors action is generally admitted to
have been brought about by the young en-
peror's determination to have a free hand in
the management Of state affairs rather than to
have any differences Of opinion regarding any
social problem.
BIsMARcK's PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
Lieut.. Gen. Leo Won Caprivi, who according
to report, will be Bismarck's successor as
chancellor, suffers under the cumbersome name
VI Soucuo IA SdEcuDd SdpIlVl CdpTar6 I'll
Montecuculi. His father was O prominent
criminal jurist and an able judge of the Prussian
supreme court and his mother the daughter Of
president of Berlin college.
Gen. Won Caprivi is fifty -nine years Of age.
He passed through the various stages of sub
altern rank in guard regiment, then got staff
employment with various army corps, served
with the army in 1865 and made q splendid
reputation rs chief of staff Of the tenth army
corps during the war Of 1901 with France.
After that his promotion was gradual but
certain until, in November, 1882, he was
intrusted with the command Of the thirtieth
division at Metz.
In March, 1888, on the retirement OF Gen.
Stosch from the imperial ministry of marine,
Gen. Won Caprivi was selected as his successor
by the late Emperor William I, to the general
disgust Of the leading naval officers Admiral
Batsch, the first in command after Gen. Stosch,
and an old, experienced sailor, felt especially
hurt at the nomination of an outsider like
Gen. Caprivi, and sent in his resignation. The
OF the old tar, who thereupon withdrew his
resignation.
Gen. Won Caprivi remained at the head Of
the German navy until the close Of June 1885,
when he resigned in consequence of Disagree
ments over questions regarding the organiza-
ton OF the navy. Gen. Won Schellendorff, the
Prussian minister of war, retired from Office
about the same time. Gen. Won Capriyi re-
ceived from the emperor the grand cross Of
the BED Eagle and was placed in command Of
the tenth army corps, which is stationed in
Hanover, and this command he still holds.

MAYOR GRANT MAY BE INDICTED.
The Revelations in the Sherih's Office in
New York are CrOwding Him.

New York Letter to the Philadelphia Press
am advised tonight by those who know best
about these proceedings that these indictments
are simply the beginning. There are revela-
tions to come which will even more strikingly
illustrate what sink Of iniquity and den Of
corruption the sheriff's Office has been. 1t is
not at all unlikely that as a result of them the
mayor himself will be compelled to stand be-
fore the bar OF the court to plead to an indict-
ment for felony on testimony given by men
whose reputation in the community is such that
their word, unsupported by oath, would be re-
ceived unquestioned. For the great law firms
Of the city, which have been patient for many
years under the system Of extortion and brib-
cry which has prevailed in the sheriff's Office,
now see an opportunity to combine in general
assault understand that dozen or more Of
law firms have offered to give evidence of cases
of extortion and compulsory bribery which
have come under their individual notice and
to which they will be unwilling parties on one
side,
Already three firms have done this The late
agent Of the Cunard line, Mr. Charles G.
Francklyn, has testified that in one suit in
which he was defendant he was obliged to pay
$3.50, or at the rate Of 800 per day, to one Of
Mayor Grants under-sheriffs, and he made
this arrangement through his counsel, they be-
ing compelled to do it by the threats or extor-
tionate demands Of this sheriff. In two other
lesser cases counsel have given information to
the same effect, and now there is in the posses
sion OF those who are directing the investiga-
ton OF the grand jury, as well as Of the counsel
for the senate Investigating committee, great
pile Of afidavits and memoranda furnished by
some Of the most reputable law firms in the
city, narrating their experiences with the
sheriff's Office.
1t looks today as though almost every officer,
from the head down, connected with that de-
partment within the last three years Is liable
TO be brought before the courts on a charge Of
felony.

THE POPE ON LABOR.
He Has Given the Berlin Conference
His Moral Support.

have the authority, says the Rome CORES
pendent of the New York Herald of the vatican
to announce that the pope would consent to
act as a mediator through which the simulta-
neous disarmament Of all European nations
might be brought about The question was
put directly by the correspondent and the an
swer was equally direct. Leo has taken q bold
stand. He holds that the existence of immense
armies, which are draining the health of Eu-
rope and infiicting great suffering upon the
toiling masses, il anti-Christian.
The German emperor wrote an autograph
letter inviting the pope to send an ambassador
to the Berlin labor conference. In reply the
pope sent an autograph letter saying he could
not participate unless his representative was
given precedence over all delegates. Then the
emperor wrote another letter, urging the pope
in the interests OF mankind 10 take part in the
conference 50 far as he could and at least give
1t bis moral support. To this the pontiff has
warmly responded and am authorized to an
nounce that the pope has written q document
dealing with the entire problem raised at Ber-
lin. This has been automatically commune
Gated to the papal nunclo in Germany and will
be laid before the international conference.
There is no doubt that a great national move
ment is on foot to give the pope leading part
in an effort to deal with universal labor trou-
bles. His holiness recognizes this as a great
opportunity for the church to put itself at the
head of the worldwide reform demanded by
organized labor. He holds that the nations
must adopt the principles of Christianity and
that the church is the only power competent
to meet the issues involved in the social and in
dustrial movement
The German emperor has frankly admitted
that governments cannot accomplish much un-
less organized Christianity comes to their aid
In this crisis the pope has spoken in no uncer-
tain voice, as will be seen when his address il
made public. 1t is admitted that il millions
of armed men, who trample upon the bread
trays Of the poor, were stripped Of their uni
forms and set to work creating wealth q great
deal of the present distress in Europe would
disappear.
One nation dare not begin to disarm before
another and the pope is now in position to
negotiate between nations for general dis
armament Up to the present time the Vatican
has managed to keep its negotiations with the
German ambassadors n secret

Lead Pencil Alteration in a VIII.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Following its own decision that will written
wholly in pencil was as valid as one written in
ink the supreme court Monday in Tomlinson's
appeal from the orphans court Of Montgomery
county, decided that pencil cancellations of an
ink-written will were also valid. Justice Green
delivered the opinion of the court After re-
ferring to the courts former decision he says:
IF there be no distinction between these meth
DDS Of writing, so far their legal effect is
concerned, we can see no reason for assigning
an effect to pencil alteration different from
that we would assign to an alteration in ink II
we do that We say they are not the same,
whereas we have deliberately decided that
they are the same, not only in relation to Wills
but to other solemn instruments. 1t would
certainly be inconsistent to hold that in altera-
tions of wills pencil writing and ink writing
have not the same effect, when in all other
testator's intent the pencil alterations speak
quite certainly as if they were in ink

May Robinson, colored, aged twenty-five

shooting occurred at the Robinson home, six
miles from town. The only person in the house
