the Blood Spurting in all Directions

BERLIN, March 4.-The details OF

this city to-day. A man named Hage-
man, in Slsde, a village in the province
OF Hanover, was convicted OF the
charge OF murder and was sentenced 70

forth TO the place where the guillotine
was erected. He was securely bound
and the executioner placed him In the
usual position on the board beneath the
sharp steel blade.
When all was ready the knife was re-
leased and fell on the neck OF the pros
trate criminal. To the horror OF the
spectators, however the knife failed 10
sever the head from the trunk, aud the
result OF this was % leave the neck OF
the murderer in a terribly mutilated
condition.
The awfulness OF this scene was In
creased when the executioner seized the

while the blood rushed In torrents from
the gaping wound.
But In spite OF all his tugging and
twisting at the victims half severed
head, he failed 10 tear IL of and he
again placed the body in position under
the guillotine and tried second time 70
behead the man by means OF the knife.
Again did the blade descend on the
neck OF the poor wretch and again did II
fail to successfully perform It's deadly
work and only left the remains In q
more mntilated condition than before.
The executIoner then decided TO
abandon this means OF decapitating the
man and tried another method 70 finish
his ghastly work.
He procured sharp knife and hacked
and slashed at the back OF the victims

fingers In the mans blood-soaked hair
and pulling the head with much force.
AT length. after chopping through most

BALTIMORE, MD, March 4.-Cardinal

circular letter to the Archbishops and
Bishops OF the United States:
My attention has been called TO the
suggestion that IL would be eminently
fitting to celebrate with solemn relig-
ious observances the twelfth day OF

Archbishops and Bishops be addressed
with a view to the taking OF some con-

special religious services be held.
at has also been thought that these
might be supplemented wherever prac-
ticable by some civil celebration In the
evening.
with all Difference, l take the liberty
of submitting the subject to your

on the part of the Hierarchy would en-

invest the day with particular solem-
nifty. I need not say that | myself am

Republican Statesmen at Washington
Special telegram 20 the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 4.-There
is some pretty hard fighting in progress
among the Republican statesmen here
over the question Of the Presidential
candidacy. While on the surface the
withdrawal of Blaine appears to nave
made Harrison almost certainly the Re
publican nominee, the opposition to him
is earnest. An immense amount OF
wire-pulling is being done on both sides'
The Harrison folks think they have
silenced the opposition on the part OF
Senator Washburn, Of Minnesota, who
is one OF the most active anti-Harrlson
workers aud that Harrison will have the
Minnesota delegation. 1t Is regarded
as very important TO the President 10
have the delegation of the State wherein
the convention meets.
Ex-senator Sabin and R.G. Evans, the
National Committeeman OF Minnesota,
have been on here and have held long
conferences with Mr.. Washburn. IL Is
understood that these conferences were
stormy and that Mr.. Washburn was
told that he would be fought at home II
he did not cease his opposition to Har-
rison, and that finally he was convinced
that he would have to yield and did so
as gracefully as possible.
On the other hand it is understood
that the wires have been laid by Gen.
Clarkson and his friends TO have an
anti-Harrison delegation sent to Mime
apolis from Iowa. 1t is claimed that
the State convention Of Iowa, which Is
held on the 18th Of March, will endorse
Mr.. Blaine, and will try to again pull
him into the contest. Itis said further,
that the plan is to endorse Gen. Clark
son for second choice in case Blaine will
not be pulled in.

saws that he made written agreement with
some new men during the strike TO give
them employment. and this must be full

strative against the company in the strike.

Unemployed .Workmcn Loot Baker shops
and butchers Carts I'm Dsntxig-The Mob
Dispersed by the Police.
BERLIN, March 4.-Since the disturb
ances OF last week the unemployed
workmen throughout Germany have
been in a state OF ferment that would
REQUIRE but little 10 cause an outbreak.
There Is no denying the fact that the
condition OF mechanics and unskilled
laborers have reached such a state that
the hungry men are capable OF doing
almost anything TO get food for them
selves and those dependent on them.
A few days ago the unemployed work
ingmen OF Dantzlg, called upon the au-
thorlties to furnish them with labor no
matter what IL was 10 keep themselves
and their families from starving. They
received a promise that something would
be done for them and to-day In obed-
ience TO notice 500 men proceeded 10
the landing stage In the Municipal sew
age farms and put 10 work.
When they arrived there the officials
picked out 220 men 70 be taken 70 the
farms, and said that they were unsble
TO furnish work for tho Others. TDOse
who were refused employment were BIT
ger In their denuncIatIon OF the trick,
as they termed IL. Some OF the men
made violent speeches and tho meeting
soon degencrated into mob. The ex-
citement grew by what II was fed upon
by the speeches. The mob left the
vicinity, and 10 compact mass rushed
through the streets, hurling impreca-
tlons at the authorities and declaring
that they would steal before they would
stsrve.
Every bakers shop they came across
they looted, and some OF the eaunt, pale
faced men could be seen devouriDg the
spolls In manner which showed that
they had not tasted food for long
time. Others placed the bread under
their coats with the Intention OF carry
ing IL TO their wives and children.
Loaded butchers carts passing along
the streets were seized upon, their
drivers hustled away aud their contents
hastily divided among the crowd. De-
tachments OF police were hastily sent 10
that part OF the city ln which the riot
ing and piIlaging was going on. After
struggle with the rioters the police
made determined charge and succeed
ed 10 dispensing the mob.
A later dispatch from Dantzic. how
ever, places different story upon the
disturbance, at least 30 far a. the loot
ing OF shops and wagons is concerned.
This dispatch says that after the SPEAK
ers had addressed the disappointed
workmeu. q majority OF the latter, With
out needing the appeals 70 right their
own wrongs. returned 10 their homes.
Those who did the rioting were, n IN
the case OF the Berlin riots. not genuine
worklngmen. but dock rats and other
loaiers. They took advantage OF tue
excitement 70 give their thievish pro-
penslties full play, and the workins men
were credited By the police with the
crimes.

low their example. The deal made by
Coke Bros. 81 Co., looking TO the control
of the output of all the Pardee mines is
now practically concluded, and the firm
has secured total tonnage OF about

Skeer plant, at Stockton, and that it

Partisan robes, which Mr.. Wade claims
was the only object in bringing them

place and seized several robes, which 1t
is claimed Kate Reilly herself smuggled
into this country. They made an inven-
tory OF the goods in the place, and
seized all upon which duty had not

AYERS that it is the custom OF Kate
Reilly to bring over young women to
smuggle in goods for other, thus violat-
ing not only the customs law, but the
alien contract labor law as well. Mrs.
