TOGETHER THEY DIED
Sensational Double Suicide in a
Fashionable Hotel.
Their Money Gone, a Guilty Couple
Could Ease Their Troubles
Only by Death.

CHICAGO. Dec. LIN the Virginia Hotel,
resid ence district of the North Side, a
dramatic double suicide occurred this
morning. Behind a door, bolted and
double locked. were found the bodies of
Victor Cyrier, a drug clerk, and Mrs.
Caron, the wife of druggist for whom
Cyrier had formerly worked. The woman
had died by poison. while Cyrier, after
taking poison. shot himself three times
and lay stretched across the foot of the
bed on which the woman lay.
The couple registered under a false
name as man and wife at the hotel last
Tuesday. and were apparently very happy,
When their door was forced open this
morning both were found dead, and they
had evidently been dead several hours.
Letters were found on the center table,
written by both parties to elatives, bid
ding a last farewell to dear friends and
announcing their purpose to die together.
Mrs. Caron wrote bidding farewell to her
husband and her little child, her letter
closing. so young. what will she do with
out her nother?"
Cyrier wrote as follows: "She died at
half-past o'clock this morning. can't
write. l can't open nv eyes,"
1t was evident from he letters that both
had taken poison at the same time with
the agreement that the one surviving long,
est should die by the pistol.
Cyrier had boarded with the Carons
while working in the drugstore, and the
intimacy between the clerk and the wife
of the proprietor was noticed last summer,
but not by Caron until three weeks ago.
At that time he found them in a ompromis-
ing position, and Mrs. Caron and Cyrier
disappeared at once. Neither was well
supplied with money. and, when their
funds became exhausted by high rates al
fashionable hotel. they agreed to suicide
as solution of all their troubles.

TRIED THE BOAT.
Ericsson's Destroyer Takes Run in
New York Bay.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Ericsson boat
Destroyer had her trial trip to-day, and to-
morrow or Sunday morning will start on
the long journey to Brazilian waters in
tow of a vessel which will carry on her
de cks a Yarr0w torpedo-boat. The De-
stroyer took short spin yesterday to test
the engines aud steering-g gear, in antici-
patton of to-day's trial run. In the pre-
iiminary spurt jets were experimental
with. This is an appliance which elects
water either from the port or starboard
quarter. and is designed to maneuver the
boat rapidly when it is the desire to get
her in or out of range.
One test made yesterday with this hy-
draulic steering apparatus showed its
effectiveness. Without causing the boat
to move backward or forward the Jets
forced her stern to and fro as If moved by
an unseen giant hand. This apparatus Is
controlled and operated from the small
turret. in which the gun is placed, and
aids in securing rapid aim.
1t is now announced that the Destroyer
will be taken only as far south as the
West Indies by towing. The vessel will
then be turned over to the Nctheroy,
which will tow her the rest of the dis
tance.
On approaching Brazilian port. she will
be manned. supplied with ammunition
and turned loose on her own account. She
will. however, remain in company with
the Nictheroy as long as possible, using
the cruiser as a base Of supplies.

Detectives at Work on the Bank of
England Case.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The herald Lon
don correspondent cables: Ever since the
enforced retirement of Frank May from
the chief cashership of the Bank of Eng
land. rumOrs more or less discreetly
couched have spread in city circles regard
ing the possibility of further steps bsing
taken by the bank authorities. l am en-
abled to state positively that though the
amount actually involved by Mays alleged
irregularities reaches e130000, the bank
authorities have taken no legal steps and
no warrant has been issued for his arrest
The late cashiers friends have made good
any deficiency and the bank has
apparently given such assurances as to his
safety that he has not thought it necessary
to leave the neighborhood of London.
The matter. however, is not en- tirely at
rest, as the city police are engaged On it,
though not by the banks instruction.
1t is possible, under the provision of the
banking act for others than those imme-
diately concerned to take action, and it is
certain that the private ba nks would not
be stricken with remorse were the whole
story of the banks recent losses to be told
in law court.

The Clerical Party Wanted to Show
That 1t Could Embarrass the
Government.

BERLIN. Dec. 1. - The Centrists in the
Rechstag to-day introduced a motion to
readmit mem Ders of the Society of Jesus
into Germany. Count Kopmesch- -Ruenicb,
in behalf of the Center party, made short
speech in justification of the motion.
Manteuffel declared the Conservatives,
with few exceptions, would oppose the mo-
tion. Morbacn UmperaIis) and Mar
quardsen (National LiberaD stated that
their parties would also oppose the motion.
Holleuffer German Conservative said he
aud some of his friends would abstain from
voting.
LOtze (Anti-Semite) said his party would
vote as they chose.
Schroeder announced the Freisininge
party would vote against the proposition.
The Reichstag then, by vote of ITS to
1876. adopted the Centrists' motion to re-
admit the Jesuts into Germany. When
the cheering over the result had subsidized.
Lieber spoke, saying the Catholics ad-
hered to the course they had hitherto fol-
lowed, and would remain faithful to the
Emperor and the empire and Loyalty de-

it was pursuing policy inimical to Ger

Gently declared that the holy See avoided
all interference in political organizations,
both of the Drebund and of the powers
opposed. But, if it should ever occur that
the Holy See displayed an intention to
pursue policy friendly TO the Russo
French alliance, German Catholics would
not allow their Interpretation of the dogma
of Papal intallibilty to be so stretched as
to deter them from fulfilling their political
duties to the German people and to the
German empire."
No members of the Government party
! took share in the debate. The vote wiz
have no practical result. 1t has been
fully understood from the first that the
Government would not accept the bill, and
the Centrists in bringing the motion to
vote only wished to prove their ability
TO command enough members TO embarrass
the Government and carry other points.

COUGHLIN'S JURY.
Now the State Has Been Accused
of Crooked Work.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-The Coughlin case
furnished fresh sensation this no orning
when the attorney for Coughlin presented
affidavits showing that Juror Fred c.
Rehm swore falselyin his examination for
admission to the jury when he said he hal
been at Toledo during the time of the
Cronin murder. The affidavits showed
that be was in Chicago and attended the
Cronin funeral. The attorney asked that
he be discharged. This Immediately fol-
lowing the dismissal OF the two jurors at
the request of the prosecution for having
secured places on the jury in Coughlin's
interest leaves the case in a chaotic condi-
ton, almost Unprecedented.
Judge Tuthill took the request under ad-
visement. The prosecution claims IL is an
attempt of the defense to offset the effect
of the dismissal of the two Jurors on the
application of the prosecution.

repairing the dangerous breaches in the
forts and earthworks ashore.
An official dispatch received by the Brit
ish Government saws that Admiral MellO,
on board his flagship Aquidaban, and ac-
companied by an armed merchant vessel
succeeded in forcing his way out to sea at
midnight last night in spite of the heavy
fire directed upon the two ships by the
forts at the entrance of the bay.
The British gunbOat followed the
Aquidsban to sea with the intention, it is
believed. of being present at future naval
operations between the ships of the rebel
admiral and the vessels being sent to re-
enforce Peixoto from New York. 1t is
also said that the commander of the Brit
ish gunboat has orders to interfere should
the rebel admiral molest vessels flying the
British flag.
There was some desperate fighting be-
tween the rebel ships and the forts at the
entrance to the harbor as Mello tried TO go
out. The fire of the forts was we'll di-
rected and Mello succeeded in getting past
only after his flagship had been severely
damaged. Once outside he steamed SOUTH
wardly, but it is believed this was only a
ruse, and that the admiral changed his
course as soon as out of sight.

reported power of the dynamite gun on
board one of the vessels of the relieving
squadron. He took with him a number of

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The meeting of
the Ways and Means Committee to-day
was brief. Estimates to be submitted
showing the probable deficiency il the
revenue that would result from the new
bill were not complete. and the committee
adjourned until Monday to give Clerk
Talbot and his assistants further time.
The labor Of assimilating the revenue TO
be derived under the new tariff bill has
progressed far enough to warrant the
statement that, on the basis of the imports
of 1892 the loss of revenue resulting from
the enactment of the new dill would be
about 500, 600 per annum. 1t is the
conclusion of Chairman Wilson and his
Democratic associates that the importa-
tlons will be so stimulated under the new
bill that the loss of revenue will not be
over S35. 100000.
