The Slayer of q virago Wife Confesses
After Eight Years.
WAYNE, NEB., May 81 = Matilda
Szwald, the wife of John Szwald, who has
recently confessed to the murder in Cali
fornia, came to her death in this city on the
night of the oath, or early in the morning Of
September %, 1884 AT the Coro-
ner's inquest the husband of the
deceased woman testified that they
had been married about three months.
She had been married twice before that.
Their married life had been an almost con-
tinual quarrel, the woman being of almost
ungovernable temper; that she had been
more than usually quarrelsome for a few
DAYS previous to her death, and on the
evening before had driven him out of the
house so that he was compelled to sleep in a
barn across the way. When he returned in
proceeded to cook his breakfast in a shed
near the shanty in which they lived.
That he then called the children, who got
the body of the woman, which was hanging
by rope within few feet of the door.
The story of Szwald was received without
suspicion, as the deceased was laboring un-
der fit of temporary insanity. Mrs. Szwald
was a very large woman, and when the
neighbors rushed in the body was hanging
near the doorway with both feet firmly
planted on the floor. Still, the theory offoul
play was not advanced and Szwald was al
lowed to depart and the affair was soon for
gotten. The children were Mrs. Szwald's by
former husband, and were quite small

ant Governor Wstres.
SCRANTON, May 3L-Two thousand railroad
men, coming from many points in this and
surrounding States, crowded into this city
this afternoon to attend joint session of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and the
Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association. Dele
gates from the following place. were in at
tendance; Philadelphia, Trenton, waverly,
Buffalo, Corning, Meadville, Middletown,

cuse, Hoboken, New York City, Union Hill,
South Orange, Paterson, Great Bend, Hall
stead, Port Morris, Washington and other
points.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon public meet
ing was held in the Academy of Music. Ex-
President Cleveland and Governor Pattison
were announced to speak, but both sent let
ters of regret. The celebrities in attendance
were Lieutenant Governor Watres, General
Master Workman Powderly, Grand Master
,Wflkenson, of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, and General Manager Halstead,
of the Delaware, Lackawana and Western
system: The meeting @ sting , was given up to
welcome by Mayor Fellows. The sensation
of the afternoon was sarcastic assault
made by Grand Master ,Wilkenson upon
Lieutenant Governor Watres, who had erred
in referring to the mutual benefits derived
from beneficial organizations mainly con-
trolled by railroad companies. This even
ing secret session was held, of which little
was made public. 1t is believed that the
main subject discussed was more harmony
among railroad operatives and q federation
of all railroad organizations.

Joe Heideger is crowning himself with
glory in the domain of the Kaiser. Under
date of Berlin Joe writes another letter to
the sporting editor of this paper and it con-
tains news that will be of the greatest inter-
est, not only to his friends, but to all people
interested in trotting horses
After spreading himself to the extent of
several pages about the beautiful scenery
and excellent beer to be found in Germany,
Joseph deals with the trotters and trotting
races over there. He had just landed from
Hamburg when he sat down to pen his let
ter. He says:
"Well, won three good races at Ham
burg, and that was good enough for a
starter. The horses I won with were:

won two races for me. The races were for
4-year-olds, and 1 did extremely well by
winning them.

great 5000 mark prize in jag for me and
made a great hit

of May On the 18th there was a grand
flower reception given to the Kaiser, and
horsemen of all grades took part in it. The
reception was out on the track, and was one
of the finest affairs have ever laid my eyes
upon. Talk about style and high-toned
people; why 1 never dreamed of such
grandeur! All carriages were covered with
the finest flowers and at least there were
about $4,000 people present. We had to
jog our trotters up and down the home
stretch to entertain the Kaiser. He enjoyed
it greatly. My mare Blue Bell, 2:21, is the
biggest favorite in Germany, and has won
more money than any trotter there. She
was literally covered with flowers, and so
was l.
People were throwing hundreds of grand
bouquets at the Kaiser, and he kept up the
fun BY throwing them at somebody else and
passed out compliments that tickled the
ladies -

CLEVELAND, May SL-Jacob schaefer, the
champion billiard player of America, and
without doubt the best billiard player that
ever lived, was the victim of one of the most
brutal, low-lived assaults in downtown
saloon and billiard room Friday night, or
rather in the first hour of Saturday morning,
that ever a man suffered at the hands of a
supposed friend.
The assailant was Frank Ives, who him
self is great billiard player, and who only
a few weeks ago won the title, champion Of
America, Schaefer and Slosson barred" !"
from Eugene Carter, in their match game at
the l4-inch balk line style at Chicago,
Ives and Schaefer arrived here yesterday,
and were to play in Rochester this evening.
Ives had been drinking yesterday, and he
and friend commenced to play a gamc
against Lew Shaw and Schaefer. Ives and
his friend were beaten, and Ives then yelled
out:
81 can beat any billiard player on earth"
coupling his remark with an indeces.S
epithet. Schaefer walked over as if to eau
tion him. Without warning Ives pulled back
and with awful force struck Schaefer over
the right eye with his clenched fist. Jake
staggered back and Ives made move as If
were in the place at the time, jumped in and
prevented the second blow. In the fight
Ives hat fell of, but not waiting for that he
rushed out of the place. His cue and satchel
were at a restaurant further up town, and
these he went after. At the restaurant he
that he was gone. 1t is supposed that he left
town on the first train.
1t is supposed that the cause of the trouble
between the players is a woman.

tspEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.]
JoHNsTowN, May 31.-This day, Sunday,
as being the second anniversary of the food,
was observed in a most solemn manner in
this city by the thousands directly bereaved
by that great calamity. In the morning a
visit was made to Grand View Cemetery,
where magnificent column of flowers was
placed on the plate marked unknown"
where 800 victims rested whose friends and
relatives had not even the poor satisfaction
of making the last resting place of their
dead. Here several dirges were rendered by
the band and the party returned to the city.
In the afternoon column formed, made
up of the several German societies and
bands, and the march was again taken up
toward the cemetery. Once more the sad
dened people gathered around the place Of
rest for the hundreds of unknown, and Rev.
DR.. Glasow offered fervent prayer. Mayor
Rose followed with an oration, delivered to
the memory of the thousands who persisted.
As the Mayor continued his address, and
the fatal hour approached when, two years
ago, thousands were hurled by the angry
waters to terrible death, sobs of the deep
est grief arose from every side; and when
it was announced that the dread hour had
come, the great concourse of bereaved
bowed their heads, sobbed aloud and offered
up prayer for those now at their feet.
During the day the friends and relatives
of the dead, whose bodies had been fdenti-
fed and marked by neat marble slabs. had
decorated the graves of their beloved with
flowers, and many spent the entire day by
the graves in silent meditation and prayer,
the whole forming such q solemn and i'm
pressive scene as has rarely ever been wit
messed before in the world.
At the dedication of st. Marks Church to-
day Bishop Whitehead, of Pittsburg,
oficiated. The sermon was preached by the
pastor, Rev. DR.. Bold, assisted by Rev. A 81.
Bresse. Here another dramatic incident of
the day occurred, when, in speaking of their
former church, DR.. Bold referred tearfully
to their former pastor, Rev. DR.. Diller and
his family, all of whom had been lost in the
flood. Many of the congregation were over
come, as their ranks had been sadly deci-
mated by the flood.

A McKeesport Brown Bat That Has Done
Some Wonderful Flying.

A McKeesport Brown Bat That Has Done
Some Wonderful Flying.
NEW CASTLE, May 3l-A queer story comes
from Spring Hill, Union township, which is
authenticated by good citizens, of the mar
velous flying power of a big brown bat,
which William Hester, of that place, has
been training to fly from place to place. The
batis quite pet, and is SO strongly attached
to its homo that when taken away and let
loose it instantly heads its course in the
right direction and is off with speed that
would put the swiftest carrier pigeon to
shame
Last Wednesday Mr. Hester took the un-
canny-looking thing to his place of business
in the city, and, having made arrangements
at home to note the exact moment of its,
arrival, let it loose. AS near as it could be
recorded, the bat made the distance be-
tween the two points, which is about mile,
in 273z seconds. When liberated, the quick
ness with which it starts off in the right
direction is wonderful, and its speed is
amazing. Mr.. Hester will take the bat to
Youngstown in a few days, and will try
letting it loose from that point; and if it gets
home in good time, he will agree to try its
speed and powers of endurance with any
homing pigeon.
