Policemen and Postoffice Employees Suf-
fering from the Disease.
NEW YORK, March 25.-The grip in
this city continues to secure new victims,
and while the disease has not yet reached
the alarming prevalence which has ter,
rorized Chicago, it is giving the health
Board much food for reflection.
Throughout the city there is scarcely
a block on which at least one case is not
to be found, and it has largely attacked
the public offices and judges on the local
bench.
At the General Postoffice large num-
Der, including several heads of divisions,
are to-day absent from duty in conse-
quence of the disease. One-tenth of the
attaches in the Sub-Treasury are suffer
ing from the epidemic, and the Custom
House force has been somewhat reduced
from the same cause. On the exchanges
great complaints of sickness from the
epidemic are made, and many operators
are absent from the floors.
The number of policemen reported on
the sick list from the grip is 176.
DIR. Cyrus Edison of the Health Depart
ment says that the outlook for the spread
of the grip is decidedly favorable; that the
functional activity and epidemic spread
of the disease is favored by the present
humid atmosphere and the alternating
warm and cold waves.

PrTTsBURG, Pa, March 25.-The grip
continues to spread desolation through
the homes of this city and it's suburbs
Physicians, hospitals and directors of
funerals are taxed as they probably have
never been before. At the Pittsburg De-
partment of Health this morning the rec
ords show 442 deaths during the month
of March, the larger proportion due to
the ravages of the grip.
In Allegheny City there have been 149
deaths. The districts in this city most
seriously afflicted are the 18th, 10Th, 10th
sand 18th wards.
All the leading hotel bars and saloon s
are dispensing quinine with their drinks.
Many of the most prominent citizens
are among the sufferers. The ailment is
almost as prevalent in the outlying towns
as in the city. One SewickleY physician
reports having ITO cases.
The health office Books show that the
death average of the past few months far
exceeds that of the corresponding period
in previous years.
At the Home of the Little Sisters of the
Poor in this city four of the inmates died
from the effects of the grip within the past
"a hours. There are in the institution
over 100 patients in charge of IL Sisters.
Three of the Sisters were stricken down
yesterday with the ailment. leaving the
care of the institution and patients to
| only eight persons.

CHICAGO, March 25.-The grip epidemic
is undated in this city, and the mortal
ity continues appalling. Up to midnight
the deaths for two weeks aggregated
1,54O or 35 per 1000, which is UMPIRE
cedented in the history of Chicago.
Nearly all died from climatic complaints.
Drug stores have been compelled to in
crease their force of clerks. Undertakers
are crowded with work, and many funer-
ais are taking place as early as a m.
and as late as twilight. The hospitals of
the Alexian Brothers, the German Broth
ers, the Augustans' hospital, st. Joseph's
hospital and the Presbyterian hospital,
which usually take only accidents or paid
patients, have opened their doors to the
victims of the grip and are crowded.
Eight physicians of the German Hos

nurses of the Illinois Training School for
Nurses who have been ministering to the
sick have succumbed since Saturday, and

Ten of the Men Killed Were FugitiEeA
from Justice.
NEW ORLEANS, March 25.-The grand
jury will tomorrow, under direction of
Attorney General Rogers, begin an inyes-
tigation of the lynching of the Italians at
the parish prison. When the question of
taking up the subject was submitted to
the grand jury, the "ayes" were unani-
nous.
Judge Rogers has been in communica-
ton with Signor Corte, the Italian Con-
sui, and has several letters from that
gentleman, one of which shows that ten
of the men killed went under assumed
names, and from this the authorities in
fer that they were either fugitives from
Italian justice or ex-convicts. Corte has
requested that the leaders of the uprising
be brought to Justice.
The grand jury is nearly through with
its inquiry into the jury bribing charges.
One of the two indictments they reported
last night was against the missing detec-
tive, d. @. O'Malley, who is charged with
having been an accessory before the fact
1t is understood that indictments will
also be returned against Juror Seligman
and three of his colleagues in the Hen
messy trial. District Attorney Sugenberg
said that there will be a number of sem
sational developments in the matter be-
fore the end of the week.

A System Uncovered that Has Been in
Vogue for Some Time.
NEW YORK, March pa number of Ital-
ian contract laborers were captured dur
ing the day by customs inspectors on the
steamer California. The inspectors saw the
men standing about the decks dressed
as sailors, but doing no work. Their
suspicious were aroused and they deter
mined to watch the vessel.
Shortly afterwards the officers saw the
supposed sailors leaving the vessel and
arrested them. The Italians said they
came here to work in the lumber yard of
George Ulling at New Haven, Conn.
1t is believed that the inspectors who
effected the capture have uncovered a
system of smuggling contract laborers
INTO the country that has been in vogue
for some time.

ON TRIAL FOR HER LIFE.
Mrs. Caroline Schmidt Accused of Murder
ing Her Sister.


Ing Her Sister.
MEDIA, Pa, March 25.-The third day
of the trial of Mrs. Caroline Schmidt, &C
cused of numbering her sister, Emma
Pftzenmeyer, resulted in giving almos t
entirely the basis upon which the Co m
monwealth expects to send the woman to
the gallows. From the witnesses, outside
of the experts, the evidence adduced
against her was weak. Expert testimony
of the physicians, however. clearly
proved that Emma Pf1tzenmeyer did not
die by her own hands, as will be contend
cd by the defense. Either the girls sis
ter is her murderer, or SOMEONE else is.
The prosecution up to this time has
failed to connect either Mrs. Schmidt or
her husband with the crime. This they
hope to do by a number of witnesses who
will attempt to prove criminal intimacy
between the dead girl and Mr.. Schmidt. 1t
is expected that an effort will also be
made to prove that another sister has
suffered by the dead girls conduct

MISS SMITHS STORY
An End to the Sensational
West ROxbury Scandal.
ALL THE SMITHS ExoNERATED
Miss Helen Says There Was No Marriage
Between Her and French.

She Claims that the Lecturer Sought Her
She Was Indiscreet and Foolish-French
Makes Statement and Attacks the
Church Committee.
Boston, March 25.-West Roxbury's
social volcano had another eruption last
night, when the mem and women of the
Congregational Church went to hear the
report of their standing committee,
which has been more than a month in
vestigating the morals of the wife and
daughter of Deacon d. Smith, the chief
pillar of society. The fact that charges
were pending against the mother was not
generally known outside the community
but pretty nearly the whole world knows
of the scandalous reports which have
been circulated concerning the daughter
Helen and the lecturer and author, Harry
w. French.
Mr. French, herculean and handsome
as ever, occupied a seat alone
Three seats behind him sat the Smith
trio. In the pulpit was DIR. Beckwith,
stern and knife.like In the front seat
| sat the Rev. DIR. Clark, Nestor of the
American Board and chairman Of the
standing committee.
Miss Helen's statement was read by Mr.
Beckwith. 1t narrated her courtship and
separation, attributing French's infatua-
ton to his greed for her fortune and
avowing that her love for him was only a
fascination. On October 1, 1890, after the
engagement had been broken, French
wrote his "Dear Little Polly" an affection
ate letter of farewell, which, she said
proved that he had not then concocted his
scheme to claim a secret marriage. In
this letter he limited at suicide. French's
revenge, she said, began when, about No
vember l, she wrote him from London
absolutely cutting him off from her re-
gard. Miss Smith solemnly asserted that
the story of the marriage was a fiction.
But that was not the only interesting
feature of the meeting. Mrs. Smith, the
mother of Helen, also made a statement
before the church committee. She said:
'While I emphatically and Indignantly
denounce any declaration or insinuation
that in thought, word, or act my conduct
has been criminal, l freely admit that it
has been indiscreet and foolish
There have been some half-whispered
hints that the mother had been fully as
intimate with French as the daughter
had been. That might mean much or
little.
French Talks.
Mr. French denies that he was or had
been Jealous, and eulogized Miss Helen,
who languidly rested her head on her
hand and appeared indifferent But he
didn't eulogize the Standing Committee.
On the contrary, he showed that they
hadn't tried to do anything except to prove
him liar. Even DIR. Clark had declined
his invitation to see Mrs. Smiths signals
from the window, but had sent her word to
stop them. Deacon Smith nudged one of
his friends to choke French off, and the
friend tried it, but the meeting wouldn't
have it, and French went on with his
calm statement of affairs from his own
standpoint, apparently winning friends
with every sentence.
Shortly after midnight DR.. Clark's mo-
tion generating the Smith family was
adopted.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The reports

altogether reassuring.
The officials say that IL depends great
deal upon the Administration itself. If the
Indians are promptly paid their full dues
there will be peace, otherwise war will
result.
One advantage that the government
has is that most of the best fighters
among the Indians are with Buffalo Bill's
