Capt. Max Blanchard has the SYM
patty of all the citizens of the Lafour-
che country, in the great loss he has
been forced to sustain in the sinking
of his steamboat on New Years morn
ing. Capt. Blanchard has been a hard
worker all his life, and spent it all on
the boats that navigated Bayou La
fourche. The writer has known him
almost half a century, when he first
began to turn the wheel in the pilot
house. Always social, always genial,
ever kind and indulgent, faithful and
watcllful has he even been.
His friends trust that lie NAV be
oon on the hurricane roof, and that
his manly form may again appear be-
tween the chimneys of some good
steamer. Bayou Lafourche STEAMBOATS,,
without the wave and salute of Cant
MaX's right hand to his friends, would
be dull and lonesome.

An Operation of the Whitechapel Order
Performed in the Slums of the City.
An Epidemic of Murders and Suicides
in the German Capital.

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-This city has been
treated to Jack-theRi sensation.
The horribly slashed and mutilated
body OF an abandoned woman was found
at her lodgings in the squalid quarter of
the town. The assassin escaped.
The woman was seen to enter the
house with man at O'Clock this morn
ing, and within ten minutes the man
ran out. The woman was found on the
floor fully dressed, with her throat and
abdomen cut open. Her name was He'd
wig Nitsche. Portions of the woman g
body cut off were carried away by the
brutal murderer. blood was spattered
all over the ceiling and walls OF the
room, and the murder seems to have
been the work OF madman. Several
suspects arrested during the day had to
be released for lack of proof.
The body of the woman was nearly
severed and ripped from. the neck down
ward. 1t seems that another woman
tried to enter the room before the
awful crime was committed. Her at
tempt disturbed the assailant, who sud
denly rushed out, pushing aside several
who were in his way. The inmates OF
the house were awakened by screams,
and the unknown man was hotly pur-
sued, but succeeded in making his
escape.
There have been many other crimes,
including suicides, within the past ten
days, in the lower quarters OF the city.

New YORK, Oct. 25.-The central
Office OF detectives has just unearthed
the headquarters of the "green goods"
business in this city, together with a
cypher code, books OF reference, lists of
names and some 5000 letters received
from people in every state in the Union.
They have also arrested Frank Brooks
and Terrence Murphy head operators
and l4aders in the business. They also
learned that the combination had just
sent out 100000 circulars and letters
preparatory to the winters work. In
spector Byrnes has the names of the
people to whom the circulars were ad-
dressed, and will look after further cor
respondence in his own way.
Among the many letters seized is one
from Superintendent Reid, of the Home
Stock farm, Alpine, Ind. He incloses
$50 for which he was to receive $500 in
green goods. He asks that they be ex-

says: 81 presume it wouldn't be wise

THE VALPARAISO AFFAIR
SAILORS OF THE BALTIMORE WE'RE
BRUTALLY ASSAULTED.
The United States Has Prima Facie Case
for Demanding Satisfaction, but Should
Not Act in Hot Blood, Is the London
Thunderer's Opinion.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The Times, referring
to the Baltimore affair at Valparaiso,
says it is clear that brutal outrage was
committed and the Washington govern
ment has good prima facie case to de-
mand satisfaction. Butthe time has not
yet come when such a demand could
properly be pressed. If made now it
would be made in hot blood and based
upon incomplete Information. 1t is not
for great and powerful nation like
the United States to deal i'll this
high=handed fashion with weak
neighbor. Arguing that Chile is re-
covering from regime Of bad govern
ment, the attack on the Baltimore's
sailors may be regarded as not in the
same drama. Americas strong aggres-
sive policy will tend to enhance the diff
fculties the government is having
already hard enough-to maintain law
and order.
