Kills His Brother Alexander.
A Drunken Debauch and Brewl Ends in
Murder-The Slayer in Maudlin Tones
Laments His Brothers Death.

As result of general drunken bout and
brawl Alexander Anderson, aged 81 years.
single, native of Denmark and a cooper
by occupation, who worked for D. Worner,
lies dead on slab in the Morgue from
knife wound in the back, penetrating to
his heart, that was dealt him by his brother,
Herman Anderson, q years of age en-
ployed as machinists' helper in a First
street shop.
According to the statement of the fractri-
eide and OF Nels Gelman, they and the de-
ceased had been drinking together for some
time, and all became intoxicated the de-
ceased especially so, by reason that be had
been drunk for a week. past A quarrel
arose between the brothers, because the
elder wished the younger to go home with
him TO his room on Folsom street. near Har-
rison. All three'left the saloon on Rincon
place, near ST. Mary's Hospital where they
had been drinking all day, and commenced
to argue about the matter on the sidewalk.
On the younger Herman's still refusing to
go home,
THE ELDER STRUCK HIM TWICE,
One on the neck inflictng slight scar and
one in the face. Then Herman drew a long
Dladed p0cket-knife and stabbed the de-
ceased. who fell gaSping and struggling in
great agony. Herman ran away and hid in
MO iOoiH at ZOO IldIliSOu Street, WDlie Gel-
man remained by the side of the dying
man. After the deceased had writhei
on the sidewalk fer nearly half an hour,
none of the crowd attracted by the affray
having apparently sense enough to notify
the doctors of st. Mary's Hospital that a
man was dying but few steps away,
word was finally sent to the Southern Sta
ton and the patrol wagon was summoned.
When it arrived Anderson was dead,
and the body was removed at once to
thh MOrgue. Gelman was taken to the
Southern Station, where he was detained as
witness. A search was made for Herman
Anderson and he was found in his room,
maudlin drunk, bewailing and lamenting
that
HE HAD KILLED HIS BROTHER.
He freely admitted that he had struck
him with his knife. but was so confused
that he could give no very clear account Of
the atfray.
A charge of murder was placed against
Herman Anderson at the Southern Station,
and soon after he was transferred to the
Central Station. The fratrcde is slim
young man and speaks English imDerfectly.
Neither of the brothers has any relatives
in this city.

injections of morphine has never come under
the notice OF the police surgeons. She was
emaciated to degree aud covered from
head to foot with repulsve sores. resulting
from the use of the hyp0dermic syringe.
She suffered greatly and kept on crying out
that she be allowed to die.

impossible and her relatives accordingly

who gave the name of Thomas Badger and
said he was carpenter in the employ of
the School Department. Badger stated
that the woman was his wife and that he

Empress Of Germany, accompanied by the

The road from Vallenar to Santiago being
bad, the Congressional army will probably
be content to remain at Huasco. which is
the key to the whole district. If possession
is also taken of Vallenar, Bamaeeda will
be compelled to fly to the south, as to the

Augustine Ross. representative of
the Chilean Congressional, or Insurgent,
party, made an unsuccessful attempt
to-day to get the courts Of Great
Britain to recognize the Chilean Congress
as the Cover nment of Chile. Ross appeared
in court, claiming to represent the Govern
mcnt OF Chile, and prayed for an Injunction
to restrain the RothSchilds and Barings
from paying over the proceeds arising from
the sale of certain Chilean securities to. any
persons but those duly authorized by the
Chilean Government to reserve such pro-
ceeds. The court refused the application
on the ground that the applicant had failed
to prove himself accredited by either Gov
ernment of Chile or that it was proved
that the Governmental Great Britain recog-
nized the Chilean Congressional Govern
ment.
PARIS, July 3.-The Chilean Legation
states that the amounts necessary to meet
the coupons due on the sinking fund loans
OF 1885. 1886, 1887 and 1889 were paid by the
Government, partly to the City Bank on
June 1sr partly to the London House of
Rothschild as far as April Sth, and partly
to the Deutscle Bank in Berlin. The asSer-
tion that the Congressional party provided
these funds is unfounded and designed to
lead the public to believe that they are de-
fraving Chile's foreign obligations.
Balmaceda cables an absolute denial of

WHEELING (W.Va.), July 3.-The United

a Cleveland attorney levied an attachment on

who claimed they had been swinded by
the order. The supreme officers gt wind
that the PostOffice officials were after them,
and sold their Office supplies to junk

think there would be any further trouble

LONDON, July 3-Before Emperor Will
lam left Rotterdam tonight the latest phase
of the official programme for his reception
in England had not received his approba-
tiOn. Since the first draft was submitted to
him he has busted himself with upsetting it.
To-day he declines to review the volunt eers
at Wimbledon, the greatest popular func tion
in his honor after the progressto Guild Hall.
The reports are that his refusal is absolute
and that he dropped a remark that he did
not want to look at tradesmen parading as
soldiers. As the abandonment of the review
Is likely to be resented as an indignity By the
volunteers, it is proposed TO substitute for
the review march past by the Horse
Guards. if his KaiserShip can be induced TO
tolerate the spectacle of the pageantry asso-
ciated with it.
The visit now i'll conceals fact of serious
political import. On the eve of his starting
on his tour, the Emperor declared that the
Dreibund mad been renewed and that
Premier Rudini has proclaimed an entente
with England. The Government here re-
fuses to give explicit responses to the ques-
tiOns in the Commons on the nature of the
commitments Of England. hut the universally
accepted belief in diplomatic circles is that
Salisbury is pledging the country further
than he cares to reveal. Some inkling of
the real position, it is hoped. may be got
from the speeches at the Guildhall banquet,
which is often selected for striking Minis
terial announcements. II the Emperor is
permitted to exercise his tendency to utter
franknesS, something will become known,
but the official opinion is that Lord Sails
bury will succeed in tutoring him into some
formal declaration that will disclose nothing.

A Clever Diamond Thief.

NASHVILLE (Tenn.), July 3-This after
noon, while F. Wiggers and a colored porter
were alone in the formers jewelry-store, a
man entered and asked TO look at some sill
verware. WiggeIs went 10 the rear of the
store to show the goods. The customer was
hard to please, and finally left without Dur-
chasing. On going to the front of the store
Wiggers found $4,000 worth of diamonds
gone, tray in which they were kept being
thrown under the counter. The theory is
that pal of the silverware customer slipped
in and stole the goods while the latter was

the Bellevue Hospital yesterday. His con-
diton is regarded by physicians as ex-
tremely critical, but they say there would
be hope for him if he could get we'll enough

to travel unless provided with unusual COM
forts. Manogi has suffered more from harsh
treatment than any other member of the
band. He has been sick with consumption
nearly a year. yet has been compelled day
after day to go on with the performances of
the little troupe. He has been forced to go
on the stage four times every day, when he
should have been in bed. The manager
says he would not contribute cent for pay
ing their way home, but is willing to tear up
