SCANDAL IN COURT LIFE.
A Bold Bavarian Duchess Comes
Between a Beautiful Actress
and Her ParamoGr.
And the Girl, Broken Hearted. Trag-
ically Takes Her Own
Life,
Munich Society all Torn Up Over
the Racy and Romantic
Affair.

BERLIN, April 6.-The world of So
cIety, letters and art is talking of moth
ing SO much as the romantic suicide of
Anna Hagamann, who was considered
to be by far the best-lOoking woman on
the German stage, and besides had a
reputation for being q goodnatured and
conidlng girl. She was last perform
ing at the Munich Court theater, after
having Teen driven from the
Berlin stage by the brutal treatment
1t Is said, she received at the hands of
her husband. Ia Munich she formed a
llason with the leading actor, Bonn,
and was regularly engaged to him. The
other afternoon they dined together
for, as 1T happened, the last time. After
dinner Anna went to her boudoir,
placed Il revolver to her heart and died.
Her pa"amour Immediately rushed off
to the newspapers with a plausible tale
OF momentary Insanity and suicidal
mania Inherited from the fathers side.
but the police investigation threw a
different light upon the affair.
Ihe true story, from unimpeachable
authority, reveals another woman in
tue case. This person, who bears the
title OF royal duchess and who is The
grandmother of the royal Prince and
Princess, had become infatuated with
Bonn, who was a frequent attendant a
the court of her relative, the Prince
regent OF Bavaria.
1t is saying in Munich that her
royal hlghness, if she once makes up
her mind to possess IL thing, is not par
tlcul.sr as to the means to the end. Tho
duchess became SO infatuated with
Bonn, who is a handsome man Of effem.
mate type, as to place her carriage at
his disposal and to openly display her
Jewelry when her unfortunate rival APP
peared upon the stage.
Bonn was dIshonorabIe enough to
promise his protectress to break with
the actress, but restored to the presence
OF his liancee, he had not the brutality
necessary TO fulfill his promise. The
duchess, as u last recourse. appealed TO
a false sense of honor. She told him
that, as an officer in the reserve, it
would be impossible for him to marry
the actress.
The scheme was well planned by the
duchess. for it was founded upon an in
Innate knowledge of her rivals noble
character, and it had the desired effect,
for the unfortunate woman made
further intriguing unnecessary by l0dg-
ing IL bullet in her heart.
The good people of Munich have not
experienced such thrilling excitement
since the first report of the tragic death
of the late King. Bonns relations with
the Duchess and his betrayal were we'll
known and the rest was an easy con-
lecture, although the newspapers took
very good care not to ventilate the
true facts. 1t is IL revelation Of court
life which reads much like an episode
from the pages of the personal---very.
era in France.

PITTsBURG, Pa, April Ga terrible
holocaust occurred this morning at
Rochester, Pa. BY the burning of a
large frame building eleven or twelve
persons lost their lives and others were
injured. Nine bodies have been re-
covered from the ruins.
Rochester is a thriving town in
Beaver county, located at the junction
OF the Beaver river with the Ohio and
twenty five miles distant from Pitts
burg.
The fire was in large frame build
ing on New York street. Al Of the
nine members OF an Italian family, who
lived IN an upper story, persisted in the
fiames, being either suffocated or
burned to death. One woman, aged II
years, saved her life by Jumping from
second-story window. The burned
building belonged to John f. Smith,
aud was occupied by George Edwards,
dealer in teas and cotfees; Mrs. Hall,
milliner, and E. j. Keene, boot and

One hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in gold, supposed to have belonged to the

conclusion is that the Italians became
confused and could not find the stairway,
thus losing their lives.

A Prominent Texas Divine Indicted (
Criminal Libel

a Prominent Texas Divine Indicted for
Criminal Libel.
DALLAS, Texas, April 6.-The grand
jury has returned two indictments for
criminal libel against Rev. Robt. T.
Hanks, noted Baptist divine and editor
of the Western Baptist, He is charged
With libelling Rev. E. E. Hardy, L. r.
Scroggs, S. R. Grant, and A. NJ. Johnson,
all prominent preachers of the same faith.
His offense consists in having charged in
his paper that these divines were
paid scandal mongers of the Texas Bap-
fist and Herald, and notorious liars. The
indictments are the outcome of bitter
newspaper war between the Western Bap-
fist and the Texas Baptist and Herald.
The accused says he will prove the allega-
tions are true when the case is tried. The
legal contest bids fair to become a most
sensational one

Members of Il Mob in Phoenix Park
Anxious for n Lynchinu

ahAAOus kOT
DUBLIN, April 6.-NotwIthstandin q
steady downpour of rain fully two
thousand persons assembled in Phoenix
park TO assist in the demonstration of
the Amnesty association and protest
against the continued imprisonment
and alleged inhuman treatment Of Irish
and lrislr American political prisoners
by the British government.
After speeches had been made by Mr..
Kenny, Mr.. ParnelI and others, resolu-
lions were passed calling upon Irish
men at home and abroad to put forth
every effort TO secure the release of
their friends, and demanding that the
government hasten the unconditional
surrender Of the prisoners.
Mr.. Parnell speech was n TRADE
against the liberals, whom he accused
of always making political prisoners,
while the conservatives released them.
The same thing might occur again, and
John DAILY amt others convicted of per-
be liberated by the conservative govern
ment.
Why, he asked, did not Mr. Gladstone
release these prisoners in 1885? He
(Gladst one) did not hesitate to stoop TO
ascertain the Opinions Oh uNualllltePS as
to whe her they woulI accept his home-
rule bill Of that year, and even went so
far as to receive some Of these people
at Hawarden. Why dill he not release
the prisoners at that time?
Here voice exclaimed: "Why did
you not make conditions?" while cries
of ''Kill him." Lynch him." we're
raised.
I'm reply to his oueStioner MIR ParnelI
declared that the Irish party never
made conditions with the government.
The prisoners, he said, would rather rot
in Jail than accept anything but their
unconditional release.

The st. Paul Company will Build From
Appleton to Knowlton
MILWAUKEE, April 3.-The preliminary
steps have been taken for the construction
of line, by tire St. Paul, from Appleton
to knowltvn, via Waupaca, a distance OF
seventy miles. An original survey was
made by the company some time ago for
line from Berlin to Wau>au. This, how
ever, has been abandoned, as the survey
was made before the company bought the
Milwaukee & Northern road.
This line, if tavorably considered by the
directors and built, will give the St. Paul
folks tine 81 test and most direct route
from the pinerieS and ultimately the min
ing districts. Que of the reasons for
f4voring this route is the fact that
the company now has an excel
lent bridge over the Wisconsin
river at Knowlton. Another favorable
feature is the fact that the proposed line
will run through one at the best sections

section A road such as contemplated
by the st. Paul will secure large business

ron with lie OF the system will unite
Appleton and intermediate points with

will give 10 the ST. + ,ul system much va

anything but useless of unnecessary ex-
tension and deadweights as so many new

PLANKINTON'S WILL.
Though Not Yet Filed. Some of It's PrOvi-
he K;lnu


MILWAUKEE, April g. - Since John
Plankinton' death there has been vast
amount of speculation as to whether he
left will or died intestate. He left will
Moreover, the will was made some time
ago, before he became seriously ILL., and
his estate, which certainly exceeds $780,
600, will be distributed in the manner
which was prescribed by him When his
mind was clear and he was in excellent
condition to make will
There is no doubt that the bulk of the
estate is divided among the members of
Mr.. Plankinton' own family. They are
Mrs. John Plankinton, Miss Lizzie and
William Plankinton.
1t is understood that the will apprc-
pirates considerable money to benevol-
ent and charitable purposes. The
Young Mems Christian association in
particular is said to be leoatee Tor con-
siderable amount. Mr. Plankinton al
ways took a great deal of interest in that
institution and it was largely as result
of his generosity that the handsome build
ing on Fourth street was erected. He
had often expressed a wish to see the
Y. M. c. A. in independent circumstances
financially.

CROP BULLETIN,
Weather Rather Cool and Wet, But the
Outlook Good.

WASHINGTON, April 4.--Tbe weekly
crop bulletin says the season continues
late and, owing to excessive rains, muddy
roads and cold weather, little farm work
has yet been accomplished in the northern
states. The cold and rainy weather re-
tarded the growth of the states of Ohio and
the upper Mississippi valley but generally
throughout the winter wheat region
wheat, fruit and pasturage continue in
good condition. The ground is in ex-
cellent condition in the spring wheat dis
trincts of Minnesota and The Dakotas Elk
cessive rains also retarded work in Ken
lucky and Tennessee where the season is
reported from two weeks to a month late
Grass and wheat in these two states are
doing well, but the snow and frost of last
night will probably iniure the fruit. as the
trees are reported IN bloom. 1t is also
probable that damage by trosts will occur
tonight as far south as the northern por-
ton of the gulf states.
