NEW YORK, May 81. - Regulations
which are made in political life are per-
haps the briefest of all. OF all the men
whose names occupy the public's atten-
ton today. probably less than half a
dozen will remain conspicuously in the
public eye ten years hence The men
about whom the newspapers were talk
ing about the time of Gartields election
to the presidency and for some months
after have, with few exceptions, been
forgotten. and the political heroes who
were deemed gian-s and men with great
futures before them in the early part OF
the administration of President Hayes are
for the most part lost sight of, although
many of them are still alive. They
achieved brief fame. and then, accord.
ing to the rule which seems to prevail,
the majority of them went back to the
seclusion of private life. Many Of them
are far better off than they were when
they gained prominence in politics. and
q score or more of men may be seen any
day in the busy streets of New York who
once were famous, but poor, and who
are now obscure, but prosperous.

ITALY'S WAR FEVER
Will Minister Porter be Given
 His Passports To-Day?
ANOTHER RuM5z FROM ROME.
Senator Saracco Says that War Would
 Mean Bankruptcy for Italy.

Secretary Blaine Not Ready to Reply to
 Rudini's NOte-The Bulgarian Army
 Receives Orders to be Ready for Ac-
 tive Service-Prepared to Invade Ser
 via if Russia Becomes Aggressive.
 ROME, April 1.-The trouble with America is still the absorbing topic, and the usual war talk is being indulged in by the small-fry politicians.
 Great interest has been aroused in to- days movements of Premier Rudini, as it is reported as the day that Minister Por- ter will be requested to leave Italy.
 Senator Saracco, an expert in Italian finances, whose utterances always com mand much attention, writes to the Gazette del Popolo declaring his opinion that the governments scheme for the abolition of the deficit is an illusionary one. He alleges that Signor Nicotera, Minister of the Interior, has made insin- cere statements of the publics finances, and that the extent of the deficit which must be faced has been terribly under rated.
 The article has had dampenin gReffect upen the spirits of the small but noisy party who have advocated war with America, as the state of the finances, even according to the most favorable i'm depreciation placed upon the figures by the government, seem to imply total bankruptcy as . necessary result of such a war

COUNT LEwENHAuPr's oEA I'll.
He Dies at Wilmington After . Short HI.
 ness ofTyphoid Pneumonia.

WILMINGTON, Del, April 14.-The physi- clans agree that overwork caused the death of Count Lewenaupt, who died yesterday of typhoid pneumonia. He had been sick but two days.
 The marriage of Count Lewenhaupt to Miss Ellen, daughter of ex-Secretary of State Thomas F. Bayard, took place on April at Delamore Place, the residence of the Bayard family. The ceremony was performed by Bishop Leighton Coleman of the diocese of Delaware. The wedding was a quiet affair."
 Count Lewenhaupt came here in 1889 and went into the drawing department of the Harlan & Hollingsworth Company's works. His ability was of high order. After completing several years here he intended to return to Sweden and settle down.
 He was in his Slst year and a cousin to Count Carl Lewenhaupt, who was Swedish Minister to this country during Cleveland's administration. It was by a letter of introduction from him that Lewenhaupt met the Bayards first
 While eX-Secretary Bayard was driving into the city after hearing of the Counts death, he tainted and was cared for by pedestrians.
 The body of the Count will probably not be sent to Sweden, as the young wife opposes the idea.

POISONED FOR FUN.
Mary NIetZdOrf Charged With Causing the
 Death of Her Brother.

Mary MetzdOrf Charged With Causing the
 Death of Her Brother.
 BALTIMORE, April 14.-Mary Metzdorf is on trial for the second time, charged with poisoning her brother and boarder in her fathers family. The court room was crowded. On her first trial she put Q quick end to the trial by pleading guilty. "Oh, 1 am guilty; I am guilty" she exclaimed, hysterically. Not since the celebrated trial of Mrs. Wharton for poisoning Gen. ketchum has a case been more attentively watched than thus. The prisoner is little over F years of age.
 After the reading of the indictment she pleaded not guilty, in accordance with the instructions of her counsel, and was taken to the prisoners chair. A jury was soon secured.
 Mary was employed in a wholesale drug house, and lived with her father and stepmother. For some reason she took dislike to her stepmother, and, obtaining lump of arsenic from the place where she was employed, mixed it with the food of the family. This act caused the death of her little brother James Metzdorf and Miss Louisa Broad waters, who boarded in the house. Her stepmother, Mrs. Kate Metzdorf, narrow ly escaped the same fate. The crime was committed at the family's home on Aug. 8, 1890. Mary was arrested and admitted the poisoning, saying that she only did it for fun

SLOWLY BURNED TO DEATH.
Fatal Accident on the Delaware & Hudson
 Railroad.

ALBANY, N. Y., April 14.-A fatal wreck occurred on the Delaware & Hud- son Railroad between Worcester and Cobleskill during the day. A fast freight, running at the rate of So miles an hour, collided with gravel train, wrecking the engine of the freight and several box cars. Attached to the gravel train was a car containing five Italians. When the collision occurred the car was thrown forward into the centre of the wreck and the mass took fire. Two of the Italians were killed outright and the other three were injured.
 As the flames approached the car the cries and groans of the imprisoned work men were heartrending. Owing to the position of the car and the intense heat, the rescuers were unable to reach them and were obliged to watch them slowly burn to death before their eyes. The names of the Italians are unknown, but it is understood that they are all men of families

BERLIN, April 14.-News of a terrible disaster comes from the town of Serau, in Brandenburg, Prussia. A lunatic asy- lum at that place was found to be on fire, and the flames spread so rapidly that it was almost impossible to save the luna tics.

At length when the flames began to lick them they got frightened and darted about. The whole structure was consumed, and upon looking over the list of the saved, it was found that ten had been burned to death

The Greatest Excitement Prevails and the Murderors-They Will be Lynched if Caught--The Object of the Attacl by the Burglars Was Money.
 WILMINGTON, Del, April 14.-The little village of Cobra, in Cecil County, Md, near the State line, was the scene of a terrible crime, which has resulted in the death of one victim and may cause the death of another. The victims are Gran vile S Richards and his wife. Richards is a well-to-do farmer and has resided here all his life. The neighborhood is thickly populated.
 Mrs. Richards was awakened about midnight by noise in the house. She raised herself in bed and saw two men in the bedroom. She became badly fright encd and screamed. Her screams awak- ened her husband, but before he could get out of bed the intruders opened fire upon him with revolvers.
 Mrs. Richards was first hit, the bullet passing through her neck. Mir. Richards was struck by at least three bullets. His injuries did not prevent him from giving 1n alarm, and the intruders, fearing in Aerruption, ran out of the house and made their escape.
 The object of the burglars was money, as Richards was reputed to always have large sums about him.
 Mrs. Richards Dies.
 When the neighbors came to the res cue they found the victims weltering in blood. Mir. Richards was so badly in jured that she died ar : 8. m. Richards is still alive, but there are only slight hopes of his recovery. He says the burg lars are white men.
 Intense excitement prevails and every body is doing their best to catch the mur- derers.
 Richards was a member of the Mary land Legislature at one time, and later was connected with the Baltimore Gus tom House.
 If the murderers are caught they will be lynched.

A Large Force on the Servian Frontier
 Awaiting Russia's Attack.
 LONDON, April 14.-A dispatch from Sofia says that M. Stambuloff has order ed the Bulgarian army to be in readiness for active service. A large force is on the Servian frontier watching what NJ. Stambuloff calls the ragamuffin bands who are camped on the Servian side arm ed with Russian rifles, and waiting for a chance to dash into Bulgaria. It is re- ported that the Bulgarians are prepared to invade Servia on the slightest sign of aggressive action by Russia, as Prince Ferdinand's government is deeply az grieved by ths hospitality shown in Ser via to conspirators against Bulgaria.
 It is known beyond a doubt that the plot to assassiuate Stambuloff was matched in Russia, and that Russian force would have promptly invaded Bull garia had not the plot miscarried.

 NEW YORK, April 14.-There was large gathering of prominent Democrats at the banquet given last night in cele- bration of the anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's birthday.
 Ex x-President Cleveland was the princi- pal speaker, saying among other things: Ut seems to me this is peculiarly a time when the Democratic party should be mindful of its relations to the country, of its responsibilities as the guardian of sacred principles, and of its duty to a confiding public. We cannot accomplish what we promise to the people if we all low ourselves to be diverted from the perils which are still in our way. We tempt humiliating failure and disgrace when we encourage or tolerate those who, claiming fellowship with us, needlessly and often from the worst of motives, seek to stir up strife and SOW discord in the counsels of our party"
