A BRUTAL WIFE MURDER.
Terrible Crime Reported
from Jersey City.
Edward HOllinger Kills
His Wife.
The Awful Deed Committed
with a Hatchet
In the Presence OF His TWO Lit
tie Children.
The Murderer Surrenders and Says He
Is Glad He Did II.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., April 5.-Edward
Hollinger, better known as 'Big Holm
ger" colored pugilist, brutally murdered
his wife this morning by beating her on
the head and face with a hatchet Hol-
linger was arrested three weeks ago for
assaulting his wife, but was released on
the promise that he would live apart IRON
her and the promise he kept.
This morning at o'clock he called to
see his vile, who. with her two children,
had taken rooms in a shanty at 3l7 Third-st.
Mrs Hollinger said she did not want to
see him, but he forced his wav INTO the
room, where she and her children were
in bed.
"You don't want me-" he growled. "be-
cause you have another man, suppose" !"
Then he drew a lasters hatchet from
his belt and struck his wife on the head.
The blade stuck in her skull. He pulled
it out and struck her two more blows
with the hatchet, one in the face which
split open both the woman's lips and her
chin.
Mrs. Hollinger fell back dead on the
bed. Hollinger then tried to commit
suicide by cutting his throat with a table
knife, but he only made a slight cash. He
then picked up the eldest of the two chill
dren, girl two years old, and went into
the street. Meeting a policeman he told
him what he had done and surrendered
himself. He told Chief of Police Muir
phey he was glad his wife was dead.
81 deliberately killed her," he said, "and
I'm willing to hang for it,"
r DR.. Converse had the body sent to the
morgue.
Hollinger is thirty-four years old and
his wife was thirty. They had lived to-
gether under an agreement. but had never
gone through a marriage ceremony. Hol-
linger says he met his wife in Connecticut
three years ago. He is six feet tall and
weighs over 200 pounds. He has had sew
eral fights in the ring, but none with any
pugilist of note.

The Miranzai Warriors
Rise in Kohat,
And Are Attacking English
Forces Everywhere.
The Haiku Chins Ambush a
Troop Near RangOon.
Sharp Fighting Still Going On I'm
Assam.

CALCUTTA, April 6.-H the present in
dications turn out to be correct, there is
serious trouble brewing in Inoia for the
British forces.
Emboldened by the success of the Man
ipurs, who recently crushed the Ghoorka
escort accompanying Chief Commissioner
James w. Quinton, in his efforts to settle the
disputes which have occurred among the
rival chieftains OF Assam, the Miranzai,
in the Kohat territory, district OF the
Peshawer division OF the Punjab, have
risen in arms and are attacking the British
troops along the whole length of their
lines. 1t is also known that the Miranzai
attack is being pushed so vigorously that
strong reinforcements have been hurriedly
dispatched to the front. Full details as
to this new uprising are withheld by the
British authorities here
In addition to the Miranzai troubles
teiegrams from Rangoon announce the
Haiku Chins lay in ambush in a favor
able locality awaiting the passage of a
small British column on the way
from one military post TO an
other. When the British force was
well inside the trap laid for it, the Haiku
Chins suddenly opened fire upon the
soldiers, instantly killing Lieut. Forbes
and five men and stretching eleven others
severely wounded upon the ground.
This column, however. returned the
enemy. fire with such effect that the
British force was enabled to retreat from
the dangerous position in which it had
been led and thus probably escaped total
annihilation.

Warm Controrersr.

ST. LOUIS, April 6.-The correspondence
between DR.. Thomas O'Reilly, of this
city, a member of the executive council,
and President Fitzgerald, of the Irish
National League, will probably develop
into a sensational controversy between
the leading members of the league in
America. The question at issue is whether
the league will still recognize Parnell as
leader of the Irish party in parliament or
in consequence of his deposition by
majority vote will no longer recognize
him.
"ParnelTs conduct" said O'Reilly, 'has
disqualified him as leader OF the Irish
party. This is the general opinion
throughout America. There are. however,
a few who are still inclined to recognize
Parnell as the Irish leader. Although
dispatches from Lincoln, Neb., purport
ing to be from friend of Mr.. Fitzgerald
with his sanction, deny the charge that l
made against him of being inclined TO
favor Parnell and of calling the council of
the National League together for the pur-
pose of having the league support him,
the charge is nevertheless true, as papers
in my possession will show"
