TWO SHOTS FROM A REVOLVER UNITE
APAIR IN DEATH.

The Twain Had Left Their Native Land, the
Woman Leaving Husband and Children
at Home-She Tired of Her Lover and
Deserted Him.
NEW YORK, April 18.-When the steam
ship Elder swung out from her pier in Ho-
boken at O'Clock this afternoon several OF
her crew were swabbing up big pools of
blood in the steerage. A double tragedy
had been enacted there half an hour
before. Philip Ohnacker had killed Mrs.
Catherine Bsrth and hen sent bullet
crashing through his own weak brain. Both
were dead before the pistol report had
ceased to reverberate through the steerage.
Two children are left in Germany to mourn
the death of the woman. She has husband
there, too, but it is not likely that he will
shed tears over her taking off, because she
lett him and to come here with Ohnacker.
The suicide was a soldier stationed at the
Mines and, yielding 10 the persistent plead
ing of the woman, came with her to this coun-
try, where they lived as man and wife.
They lived on farm near this city, and the
woman tiring of her lover, neglected him in
many wavs, and finally announced her in
teution of returning home. Ohnacker tried
to change her purpose and followed her to
the steamers dock to renew his pleaolngs.
He had no money 10 purchase ticket to
accompany her, and, driven to desperation,
said she should not go. For reply she
walked aboard the steamer and into the
steerage. He followed her. When they got
downstairs mis- face was white and set.
''You shall not leave here" he said to
her, unless we go together"
But you have no passage ticket" she
said to him.
This will pass us" he replied, drawing
424-caliber revolver from one of his
pockets,
While the woman stood rooted to the spot
with fear, Ohnacker pointed the revolver at
her and pulled the trigger. The bullet
struck her over the right eve and crashed
into her brain. Death was instantaneous.
Ohnacker then placed the muzzle of his re-
volver against his left temple, and again a
report rang out. Ohnacker toppled over
and fell just beside the woman, stone dead.

NINE LITTLE MILLI0NAIREs.

Interesting Scene in Jay Gould's Box at q
New York Opera House.
New York Press.l
Jay Gould's box at the Grand Opera
House is the best patronizsd one in town.
1t is never empty, and is seldom occupied
by fewer than half dozen people. The
other night there we're II souls in it.
The occasion was evidently that of a theater
party for the little folk of the Gould ac-
quaintance. Five little men and four little
maids occupied front seats or stood about the
railing, while in the background could be
discerned two anxious mamas keeping
guard
The conduct of the little people was such
as 10 deserve comment anywhere. They
laughed not aloud, gaped not at the audi
ence, made no attempt to show of, and were
as unconscious as children to the manor
born should be. One of the little fellows,
not more than years old. wore
white kid gloves, and, in true man
fashion, he wriggled his hands across the
iron railing, scrubbed off the side of his
chair and gave vagrant brush or two at
his clothes with them. The little ladies sat
daintily erect, lorgnettes IN hand, and one
of them sedately drew the curtains about
the railing so as to screen herself from the
gaze of the audience while she admired the
play.
1t was whispered about that no child in
the box could lay claim to less than mill
lionairedom when the day of majority
should arrive.

GLADSTONE WRITES A LETTER.
The Irish Question Now Blocks the Way G
Other Matters, and Must Be Met.

The Irish Question Now Blocks the Way of
Other Matters, and Must Be Met.
LONDON, April 1S.-In view of the i'm
pending by-elections Mr.. Gladstone has
written letter to the Mid-Oxford candidate
of the Liberal party. In this communica-
tion Mr.. Gladstone says that the measures
which have been introduced in Parliament
by the Liberals have shown that the urgency
of the Irish question has not made them in
attentive to the interests of Great Britain,
but the course Of events has brought home
the fact that ireland practically stops the
way.
A majority of the Irish members, with the
decided support of Irish opinion, have
shown determination to pursue the course
which has won for them the confidence of
this country. The policy of the Govern.
meDt continues to reveal a disposition to re-
vive the hostility between the two nations,
which the Liberals have entirely foresworn.
Peaceful Irish meetings have been downed
with violence that would not be tolerated
for an instant in England. The civil rights
of Ireland have been unwarrantedly
abridged by the majority in Parliament
against whom argument is in vain. Only
decisive action by the constituencies could
correct this evil.

DESERVING THE HOUSE.
THE sH0REHAM ACCIDENT WORKING IN.
JURY TO THE HOTEL.

Guests Are Leaving 1t Rather Hastily-A
Building Insp ector's Queer Method OF
Inspecting Buildings-An Investigation
= May Be Held as a Result.
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
WASHINGTON, April 18.-The falling
yesterday of six landings of the spiral stair
way in the center of Vice President Nor
toms hotel, the fashionable Shoreman, is
liable to do not only great injury to the
edifce as hotel, but to cause some inquiry
into the sort of building inspec-
tion there is in the city. For
years an architect named Eutwisle
has been Building Inspector. He Sin
spected" the Shoreham and pronounced it
all right, when the accident yesterday
showed it to be about as wretched piece of
Garry" building as has ever been in the
city. He again inspected" the structure
to-day and says the accident resulted from a
rotten joist, the decay Of which was due to
the fact that the plasterers mixed their NOR
tar over it, and that otherwise everything
was all right.
The hotel was finished only year ago
last fall and the joist must have therefore
had the galloping consumption. Mr.. Ent-
wisle does not go into the question of what
of single joist can precipitate such a
wreck as was seen at the Shoreham last even
ing. Notwithstanding Entwisle's assur-
ance, all of the stairways are to be taken
down and rebuilt in q more substantial
manner. The architect of the building was
Hugh Pierson, of New York, who had done
all work in his line for Mr.. Morton for
years.
Whatever the internal nature of the
Shoreham may be, Mr.. Piersoh succeeded in
designing what, with the exception of the
Pension Office, is the ugliest ediice in
Washington. Now it seems the workman
ship is at least as bad as the design. The
accident is a severe blow to the lessees, who
are energetic young men and who conducted
the place admirably. Mr.. Entwisle, by the
way, is the inspector who inspected" the
tower of the magnificent Church of the
Covenant just before it fell one morning,
crushing nearly every stone i'll it and filling
the whole street with the wreck.
In view of these facts there is a loud call
for building inspector who knowns some
thing Of his business. Mr.. Eutwisle being
either criminally Indifferent, criminally in
capable or criminally reckless in trusting
his work to incompetent assistants. During
two sessions of Congress the Shoreham has
been the home of many of the most promi-
nent Senators and Representatives, and some
of these were still in the city. They are now
making haste to leave, and others of the
guests are preparing to desert what is'still
known as the "Vice Presidents tavern"
though it has been leased ever since noise
was made about liquor license being taken
out in Mr.. Morton's name.

TREASURY OFFICIALS UNEASY

Over the Prospective Large Payments For
Pensions and Bonds.
WASHINGTON, April 18.-The prospec-
tive large payments ON account of pensions,
public works and maturing bonds, and the
rather low ebb of receipts, with re-
sulting possibilities of the disappear
ance Of the surplus, is evidently causing
some uneasiness among the financial officers
of the Treasury Department. If means
can be devised to put in cir
culation the subsidiary silver, some
degree of relief is expected, but Secretary
Foster has in view also another measure to
ease the situation, though he has as yet not
reached determination in the matter.
This plan concerns the 4 i per cent bonds.
amounting to S5O,00O, 900, which mature
next September.
The Secretary believes that the national
banks, which hold S32,0 900 OF these
bonds, would be glad to retain them as a
basis for circulation. if permitted to do So,
even at reduced rate of interest. 1t is re-
garded as feasible. perhaps, to float these
bonds at 2 per cent. The Secretary finds
precedent for the plan in the action of Sec
retary Window, who, when Secretary in
1881, kept outstanding large amount OF
and 6 per cent bonds at a large reduction OF
interest, by consent of the bondholders.

house in that section of the country. Buildings
occupied tho south side by b. Levlnson
wholesale liquors and cigars, and on the north
by Amettman, the florist, and A. Kuttner,
millinery goods, were also destroyed. The fire
was discovered at lli3O, and burned with such
rapdity that by u O'Clock not wall remained

ter was asked to-day about the proposed
changes which it is said are contemplated
in the present system of transportation
through the territory of the United States
of goods shipped over Canadian roads under
Consular SEALS The Secretary replies that
there had been great deal of talk about
making changes that would be onerous to
the Canadian railroads and that would give
American roads advantages over Canadian
lines. The department, Secretary Foster
said, did not propose to do anything of the
kind. It did not want to injure the busi-
ness of the Canadian roads. The single
principle which the department wanted to
have established in the matter was the pro-
lection of the American revenues.
AS soon as the necessary preliminaries can
be arranged the department will issue set
of regulations for the treatment of bonded
goods in transportation.

him toward the goal of financial equilibrium
for which he was striving, by cutting down
their department expenditure. The result

as startling, for in only one department, the
Foreign Office. has retrenchment been found
to be possible, and that only to the extent of
14O, COO francs yearly, effected by the aboli-

Minister Of Marine not only declared re-
trenchment impossible. but has presented a
bill to the Chamber for the creation of
q new reserve squadron of seven frst-class
ironclads and three cruisers yearly, the cost
of which is estimated at 100000 francs.
Should this bill be passed every ship will
practically be in commission and the entire
navy on a war footing, a state of things

in time to avoid her. The steel prov of the
liner shaved off the bowsprit and jibboom of
the bark.
The bsrk's long bowsprit swep. along the
starhoard side of the steamship, crushing
and tearing away everything it touched.
the stanchions were ripped out for space
of 80 feet, four of the davIts were twisted

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Father Ignatius,
the Protestant Benedictine, who is building
mission in this city. wrote on Friday to
the Rev. DR.. Heber Newton, saying,
The vox populi declares that you are so ex-
treme an ''infdel" that you make no secret of
your unbelief in the miraculous birth of Jesus
from a virgin, and also of the physical resur-
rection Of this natural and material
body. AS you are a public teacher in a
church of which these two mysteries are
fundamental dogmata, will you tell me if this
public and widespread accusation Is tair, or
false? If you find yourself unable to give me
an answer, yes or no, for no more is needed to
the public charge of lnfdelIty. shall under
stand that silence is assent to the truth of it.
Father Ignatius said this evening: "Dr.
Newton's reply to my letter was only verbal.
1t was like this: Who made Father Ig-
natius my father confessor or Bishop of the
the diocese in which I preach; and is this
the way gentlemen treat one another in
England?, 1 have no answer to give to your
questions. II Father Ignatius wants to hear
nv views he'd better attend my church."

Hardly woman passes but she takes a

ror is almost magical, for it seems to glorify
all who look in it. Not only women, but

man, almost ready for translation, that
stood before it day or two ago. That
he was looking at his own reflec-

to see. His face was white and
marked with fatal sickness, while the re-
Fiction was fairly startling with its glow of
health. The man looked at it as if he had

that deathlike pallor in his eyes.
