MURDERED SERVANT GIRLS.
A Man and Woman Who Are Said 10
Have Initiated the Schneidsrs.


BERLIN, Feb. IA case resembling
that of the Schneiders. the horrible de-
tails Of whose crimes have Just shocked
the world as revealed In court at Vienna,
has come to light In Magdeburg. As in
the Schneider case, the victims in the
present instance were serving women.
The full particulars In possession of the
police have not been made public, but
1t is. known that man named Erbe, and
his paramour, a woman named Bunt-
rock, have been arrested on charge OF
making way with young woman
named Klages, daughter of steward of
an estate near Magdeburg.
1t is alleged that Erbe and his female
accomplice lured the girl to Hanover on
the pretenst that she was desired to ac-
company a family of that city on trip
to Italy. AT Hanover, where the girl
was total stranger, it was compare
lively easy to filch her small stock of
funds from her and put her out Of the
way without leaving clew to direct
suspicion toward the murderers. At
least that is what the police expect to
prove was done, and they also claim to
have evidence that the first victim of
the couple was a woman named Hasten,
of Madgeburg, and that these two were
not the only ones robbed and murdered
by the imitators of the Vienna mon
sters. The revelations at the fort&com-
ing examination of the prisoners are
awaited with much interest.

IN TIE NATIONAL SENATE.
David 3. Hill May Make Ria sena-
torial Debut This Week.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE most In
teresting feature of the week in congress
will be, in all probability, fight against
the adoption of the report Of the com.
mittee on privileges and elections in
favor of Senator Dubois in his contest
with w Fl. Clagett, 1t is expected that
the report will be presented tomorrow
by Senator Teller, chairman Of the com,
mittee, and that the immediate consid.
GRAFTON will be demanded. Senator
Stewart will lead the attack, arguing
in favor OF giving the seat to Clagett
but, judging from the position of the
committee, it is hardly probable that
the report will not be adopted. The
Call-Davidson. case will also be acted
on, 1t will be disposed of rapidly, the
committee on privileges and elections
having reported unanimously in favor
of Senator Cali retaining his seat.
Mr.. Hales reciprocity resolution and
Mr.. Stewards free coinage measure are
on the table subject to call, and if taken
up at any time may bring on tariff OF
silver debate.
If the report of the committee on pest
offices and post roads i'll favor of con.
firming the nomination of Mr.. Rathbun
to be postmaster at Elmira. N. Y, is
presented, and there is every reason to
suppose 1t will be, Senator David b.
Hill will make his senatorial debut, but
the country will not have fair chance
to judge of how well he will do it, be-
cause it will occur in executive session.
Senator Hill will be joined in his op-
position to Mr.. Rathbun's confirmation
by at least one Republican senator, Mr..
Wolcott, of Colorado, who has severely
criticised in the public prints the re-
moval of Postmaster Flood and the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Rathbun to fill the
vacancy.
But by far the most interesting event
expected during the week will be the
fight against the confirmation of Judge
Woods, of Indiana, who was recently
nominated to be judge of the Fifth judi
cial district. The fight against his CON
firlnation will be. led by Senators
Voorhees, and Turpie.

A GERMAN CRIMINAL
Ex-Convict Loewy, Who Became
a Leading Banker.
HIS PLAN TO EvADE PUNISHMENT

Marrying the Woman Who Would
Against Him on His Trial for
Fraudulent Practices as a Banker.
Loewy, the banker, whose failure on
Nov 25 last caused great sensation in
the financial world of Germany. has
taken on new and interesting phase
Loewy's failure was the second of the
remarkable series Of financial crashes
which began with the collapse of the
extensive banking house of Hirschfeldt
& Wolff, and included those of Fried.
lender & Sommerfeldt, the Open
heimers, at Darmstadt, and other large
institutions. The upheavel was accom-
panied by suicides, arrests for fraud,
and other startling,events. Loewy, whose
banking house had risen rapidly to a
point where it competed with the old.
est established institution of the kind
IN Germany, was arrested Immediately
after the failure, and the public were
astonlshed to learn that he was accused
by the police of being criminal with a
long record of serious offenses to account
for.
The announcement was made that be-
sides swindling large number OF de-
positors in his bank, which had just
failed, he had been engaged In similar
practices before, and was an ex-convict,
having served out sentence on con-
viction in 1888 of embezzlement. He
had also been on trial for fraudulent
banking and for arson. A woman named
Helene Goldstein was accused by the
police Of having aided Loewy in his
latest banking scheme, and she was
taken into custody soon after the
bankers arrest. The latest develop
nent in the case is the announcement
Just made that Loewy and the Goldstein
woman, who, it had been alleged, had
lived together for years out of wedlock,
have been married In prison. The ac-
cused ex-banker hopes by this marriage
to escape the clutches of the law, as he
will claim the protection of the statute
which exempts a wife from testifying
against her husband in criminal court.
There is q division of legal opinion as
to the likelihood of this scheme proving
successful. The point will be raised by
the prosecution that the exemption ap-
plies only to wife who was such at the
time of her husbands offenses, and that
subsequent marriage cannot be al
lowed to have the effect which in this
case is sought to be secured by it.

Congregationalists offered to have him
trained for the ministry, but he declined
because he held Baptist views. Later
he relinquished these, and joined the
church formerly presided over by Robert
Hall, at Cambridge. He became vii
lage preacher at Teversham. and soon
after became pastor of a Baptist chapel
at Waterbeach. AT this period-only II
years old-he delivered a series of dis
courses which attractedimmense crowds,
and sperad his fame through England
and even America as the 'boy preacher"
His Great Popularity.
Having been offered the chapel in
New Park street, Southwark, he
preached for the first time in London in
1858, with such success that the edifice
had to be enlarged to accommodate the
rapidly growing congregation. At Ex-
these alterations, thousands We're turned
away every Sunday, being unable to
get within the doors. The enlarged
chapel In New Park street proved in
sufficient and the Surry Music hall was
hired to accommodate the overflow.
Finally the Metropolitan Tabernacle
was built, which holds 5000 people, and
there the famous preacher remained.
Since 1868 his sermons have been pub
lished weekly and sold throughout the
Protestant world In increasing num-
bers. In 1887 Mr.. Spurgeon severed his
connection with the Baptist union, be-
cause it tolerated heretical views on the
s'zshbject of hell. This gave rise to long
controversy. In 1858 was celebrated
the anniversary of his s,000th sermon.
The pastors college, the Colporatage
association, the book fund and the sup
Elementary pastors aid fund were all
founded by Mr., Spurgeon in support Of
ness, which began seven months ago
and passed through may vicissitudes,
he has had world wide sympathy, and
his devoted congregation have been un-
tiring in their petitions to the Lord for
his rapoyoru
