Standing over the body of her hus-

ago Miss Danyke, beautiful society
woman of Brooklyn became Mrs. Os-

short honeymoon removed to this city,
where the husband became the man

ago Mr.. Harris was attacked
by an illness which at once
assumed a serious phase. Physicians
determined that the only hope of saw
ing his life was by recourse to the
operation of laparotomy. His young
wife was made acquainted with the
desperate nature Of the operation.

fronted with evidence of his crime.
Such was the end of Peter Birba. late
secretary Of the Southern Cordial
manufacturing company of 70 Decatur
street, this city. Birba enjoyed the
full confidence of his employers until
a short time ago, when it was discov-
cred that he had been systematically
robbing the company for year past
and that he had also forged and
cashed checks on their banks. Birba
was a well known young man and his
sudden and violent death has caused
a profound sensation. His shortage,
it is said, will be about $4,000 or
$2400. 1t has not yet developed what
use he made OF the money he en-

BRUSSELS, April 19.-In the cham
Der of deputies yesterday Premier
Bernaert intimated that a report on
the proposals for a revision of the
constitution will be made tomorrow.
Demon at once proposed that the
chamber suspend its sitting in order
that the report might be made ready
for immediate presentation, and then
assemble again at once to dis
cuss the report To this the
chamber agreed. The cham
Der reassembled after the prepare
ton of the report on the revision of
the constitution and by vote of 119
against y. with fourteen absentees
from voting, adopted universal suf-
frage, with provision for plural vot-
ing by classes owning property ac-
cording to the amount and situation
of the property. The cheers within
the chamber were followed by &C
CARNATIONS from the enormous crowd
ing ontside the chamber. The
greatest enthusiasm was dis
played everywhere and the people
joined in jubilee in honor of the
great triumph they had achieved. 1t
Is expected the decision in favor of
universal suffrage will have an allay-
ing effect upon the popular excite
ment and the agitation which was
rapidly assuming the dimensions of
general insurrectioh. There is no
doubt in many minds that had the
chamber not acted promptly there
would have been revolution in Brus-
sells. In all the rioting only four
workingmen were killed. It was a
strike against the government for
suffrage.

the Colorado Midland, eighteen miles
west of here, a terrific explosion oc-
Cured yesterday. The explosion
shook the earth for quite distance
around. 1t was due to the accidental
discharge of blast which, it is said,
communicated with other powder.
Five men were killed and sew
eral seriously injured. The extent of
the damage at this time cannot be
told. An employee who came in from
the tunnel tap says the explosion was
a terrific one. The direct cause was
the igniting of powder by turning on
