A WILL CONTEST.

Especial TO THE HERAID-Examirer Cable.l
BORDEAUX, Aug. 10.-Victor Berge has
Just been sentenced at the Gironde assizes
TO life Imprisonment at hard labor for the
murder of his mistress, Marie Boudon.
The circumstances surrounding the case
are OF the strangest and most peculiar
character, and are largely responsible for
the saving of Berge from the guillotine.
Berge, whose father is a small land owner
at Cohoes, department of the Lot, was q
medical student in this city. He met Marie,
who was dressmaker, and shortly after
wards the couple lived together. BY the
death of maiden aunt short time ago
Berge came into possession Of l0, 200 francs.
The will naming him as neir he had in his
possession, and showed TO Marie, where
upon she demanded that as a recompense to
her. he give her one-half Of the legacy.
This Serge refused, and the woman
snatched it from his hand. A terrific
struggle ensued, which was finally ended
by Berge throwing the woman heavily to
the floor, but not, however, before she had
by final effort swallowed the will. In a
few hours the woman was dead. Berge,
in order to regain possession of his inherit
ance, cut the body open and recovered the
will. 1t was in this condition that the BODY
was discovered.

Blaine Will be in His Friends Hands.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-A Washington special
says a man who talked with Conger, OF
Ohio, is authority for the statement tina,
Blaine, his health permitting, will be in the
hands of his friends when the nominating
convention meets in 1892. He says:
s'Conger preached the subject TO Blaine,
who seemed rather indisposed to talk about
it at all. Conger dwelt at length upon the
steadfastness of Blaine's friends; recalled
the numerous instances of their faithful
adherence TO him under any and all cir
cumstances. and said that his (Blaine's)
friends ought to have something to say
Republicans generally wished to see him
President and a victory with any other
man as the nominee was uncertain.
blaine showed great feeling when
Conger dilated upon the faithful service of
his friends, and said he had every dispo-
sion to serve them and the Republican
party, too and would not now decline the
nomination in advance. Whether he told
Conger direct that he would take the nomi-
nation, do not know, but this much can
say, namely, that Conger says Blaine will
accept it and SO believe all of Blaiue's
friends"

BERLIN, Aug. lot is understood the
Emperor, Immediately on his return to this
capital, will consult the statistics prepared
at his special request regarding the popula-

statesmen and national economists will be
invited to a conference and means devised
to stop the alarming emigration TO France
which, amounting to ABOUT seven thousand
yearly, draws millions, in fact all the ready
money out Of the country. IL has been
thought that the pOmp OF q court estaO-
lished at Strasbourg by the governor,
Prince Hohenlohe, might tend to make the
people content, but that plan is pronounced
o failure as is also the extreme affability of
the governor. which does not seem to i'm

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-To-day has been
the third DAY OF the heated term here and

81 All the afternoon an ambulance was
busy carrying people to the hospital
Nothing like il has been recorded At this
time Of the year for nearly twenty years,
and its continuance during the week means
an enormous increase OF mortality, espe-
cially in crowded tenement districts. Half
a dozen deaths occurred and many more
victims are in precarious condition. Three
persons are reported to have been rendered
insane by the heat
A number of members Of the police force
had to leave their posts today. The heat
was particularly severe On horses, many
being overcome. The scenes in the ten
ement district to- night are beyond descrip-
ton. The entire population has deserted
the tenements and sought the house tops
and streets. Little relief was afforded,
however, by this means, as the thick walls
are sending forth the heat accumulated
during the day. The entire population is
looking with forebodings for the dawn Of
another scorching day.

He has confessed the same and offers no

Downing and Tollman were held in g, 900
bonds each by Commissioner Hoyne. Both
had lawyers on hand and Toliman was
quickly bailed out. Downing was unable
to secure bondsmen and spent the night in

of the attorneys for the men said there was
no doubt the concern was rotten TO the
core, but he believed Downing and Tollman
Were simply the victim of Mortimer's guile.
One Of the peculiar features of the case
is the fact that the association was en-
dorsed by two prominent commercial
agencies. The concerns affairs were ex-
amined closely, but the evidences Of pros
