PANAMA CANAL CASES.
COMMENT ON THE SEVERITY OF
THE SENTENCES IMPOSED.
sympathy Expressed for Ferdinand dc
Lesseps, BAihut, Charles de Les-
seps and Others Arraigned
for Corruption.

PARIS, Feb. 10.-Papers of all shades
OF opinion comment on the severity Of
the sentences in the Panama canal cases.
especially that Of Ferdinand de Lesseps,
whose genius was the glory of France.
Cotter and Charles de Lesaeps have de-
cided to appeal from the findings.
Ex-Minister Baihut, Senator Berat,
ex-Minister and Deputy Antonin Proust,
Deputy Duque de la Fanconnerie, ex-
Deputy Gobron, Charles de Lesseps, M.
Marcus Fontain, Henri Cotter and M.
Blondin have been arraigned on charges
of corruption in connection with the
Panama lottery bonds bill. The indict-
ment sets forth that note was found
among the papers Of Charlee de Lesseps

for introducing the Panama bill in the
chambers. The measure has laid on the
table in the chamber Of deputies June
18th and the same day Charles de Les
seps Issued two cash vouchers the
amount of which Fontane received on
the following day. On receiving the
money Fontane immediately handed a
quarter Of million francs to Blondin

senate chambers. On the 21st of June
Blondin paid Baihut the further sum of
125 900 francs. Baihut at first denied
these facts, finally admitted them and
also admitted that he accepted 120, 900
and 5000 francs to purchase Italian
rentes.
The indictment concludes by detailing
various charges against Fontane and
Charles de Lesseps who are accused Of
bribing Bsihut; also of having induced
Arton and the late Baron de Reinach to
corrupt senators and deputies.
The discomfort caused by the dismiss
sal in the chamber of indictments OF the
true bills found for corruption against
Rouvier and others, has moved the par
liamentary commission to renewal of
it's activity. The commission now pro-
poses to summon all the deputies who
have been accused of corruption.
Should the court Of cessation reject
the appeal of Ferdinand de Lesseps
against the decision of the court of ap-
peal, his name will be stricken from the
lists of the Institute and the Legion of
Honor.

ICE BREAKING UP.
Floods Along the Banks OF the HIstol
Delaware.

Floods Along the Banks OF the Historic
Delaware.
TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 1O.-The ice
which closed the Delaware river for six
weeks broke at Lambertville. 16 miles
above here, at noon and at once started
on rush down the stream. At Peri
wig bar the ice formed jam and the
backwater resulting therefrom food
ed %parts of South Trenton.
The river rose seven feet
in two hours during the afternoon.
Towards dusk it went down about q
foot, but later began to rise again. and
there now is every indication OF food
severer than that of 1882, when several
parts OF the city were submerged and
much damage was done. Fair street,
which is on the river front in South
Trenton, is under water already, and
the people are padding about the street
in boats. The flood was anticipated for
weeks, and such preparations were made
for its occurrence that the damage to
property will be kept down. Asssnpink
creek, which runs through the city, is
also high, and by tomorrow the water
may overrun it's banks and put out
many furnace fires, as well as flood the
dwelling houses and cellars. Reports
from Worthwhile and other Pennsylva-
MIA villages along the river, both above
and below Trenton, are to the effect that
the water has begun to overrun them.

A STARTLING SENSATION
SCANDAL IN HIGH SOCIAL CIRCLES
IN CHICAGO.
Mrs. j. O. FeIdmsn Wants . Divorce,
and $4,000 Damages of Mrs. A.
+. Roberts for alternating Hcr
Husbands Affections.

Special to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-A startling sensa-
tion, involving wealthy Chicago
woman who moves high in society and
church circles, has just been made
public by divorce proceedings begun by
Mrs. J. @. Feldman against her hus-
band, j. @. Feldman, of the firm of B..
Friend & Co., 406 Chicago Stock Ex-
change building, who are general agents
for Lewis Levin Of Los Angeles, Cal.
The bill makes Mrs. A. F. Roberts re-
spondent. She is the wife of a we'll
known and wealthy business man of
that name. Suit will also be brought
against Mrs Roberts for $50 600 damages
by Mrs. Feldman for alternating the af-
fections Of the latter's husband.
Feldman and his wife were married in
1881 and have one child. They lived
happily together until Mrs. Roberts
won the affections of her husband, and
their difficulties terminated in separa-
tion on January oath, when, after q
short but spirited quarrel, Feldman
drew a package of letters from his
pocket and threw them into his wife's
face and left the house. The complain
ant says it can be proven that Feldman
and Mrs. Roberts visited well-known
public house together on Monroe street,
and at other places.
When the rumors of the divorce pro-
ceedinga first reached the ears of Rob-
erts he is alleged to have said he would
keep it quiet if he had to buy all the
newspapers in Chicago. The promi-
nence and wealth Of the people connect
ed with the suit lend it an air of interest
that does not ordinarily attach to di-
yorce proceedings.

Forty-three OF the Unfortunate Inmates

DOVER, N. H., Feb. 10.-Further par
ticulars from the slmshouse fire Of last
night received today make no material
change in the facts as related in these
dispatches last night, except that the
number burned to death is 43 instead Of
40. The coroner began an inquest this
afternoon.
Tonight in the chapel OF the county
farm building, on the settees which here
tofore held devout worshipers lie what
can be found of "a fearfully burned and
charred bodies. The others who are
known to have perished in the flames Of
the insane asylum fire last night have
not yet been found, for the cellar is full
of water and the debris has not yet been
removed. The search of the debris will
be continued tomorrow.
A possible clue to the origin of the
fire may be found in the fact that some
insane paupers were habitual users Of
tobacco, and were allowed three friction
matches each to take to their cells. with
which to light their pipes. Keeper
Driscoll is of the opinion that the fire
caught by a defective chimney, the sides
of the latter being only the thickness Of
q brick.

LONDON, Feb. 10.-Iu the commons
today Balfour spoke at length in favor OF
extending the debate on the address.
Gladstone objected to the manner in
which the extension Of the debate was
introduced without previous notice.
Balfour replied with spirit that he had
not only given notice, but also debated
the question last evening when the right
honorable gentleman opposed was more
agreeably occupied. This slur had an
unexpected effect on the house. The
Liberal and Irish members answered it
with cries Of s'Shame' and jeers, which
completely drowned the opposition
cheers.
When Gladstone rose to answer he was
trembling with indignation. In voice
shaken with anger he Numbered out:
with due regard to circumstances and
time, I have endeavored to serve the
house to the best of my ability. Loud
and prolonged cheers.l The right hon
orable member for East Manchester
would have shown better taste. and
would have better fulfilled the duties
Of the position which he occupied il he
had spared his reference to my agreeable
occupation"
Repeated cheers followed Gladstone's
words, and amid the enthusiasm Bal
four rose unnoticed to speak. Before he
had spoken dozen audible words, the
Irish members drowned his voice again
with yells and shouts Of "Oh. come offl'
"Oh. oh!" "Cowardp and with
draw 70
Amid renewed confusion Balfour made
himself heard sufficiently to inform the
house that he had not intended to hurt
the feeling Of the prime minister; in
fact, the right honorable gentleman was
| the last person in the house whom he
would willingly offend.
This apology was received on all sides
turned TO laughter Is Balfour added
that the tight honorable gentleman te
| whose more agreeable occupation he re-
ferred was not the prime minister, but
| one Of his colleagues.
The house debated until l o'clock this
morning the amendment of Arnold
Forest, urging the adoption Of measures
TO prevent the repetition Of priestly in
reference with elections. The amend.
ment was rejected by vote OF 24s to

PrrTsBuRa, Feb. 10. "A bill praying
for the appointment of a receiver for the
property Of the Harmony society and an
accounting by President John Duss was
filed at Beaver today. In addition to
alleging that much Of the $40,000,000

Encouragement OF Duss and Trustee

the bill charges that they are living in

which enjoins celibacy. while the other
members are obliged to exc out preca-
rious existence; also that the board of
elders are confirmed and COM
mon drunkards; that Duas sought
to cast discredit on the teachings OF the
society by casting doubts on the story OF
Christ, and by preaching the doctrines
OF Cyrus Teed, the "Koresh" of Chi

bill goes on to state the various losing

the sole manager of its affairs, since the
other trustees are merely his tools, and
that he refuses to render an accounting.
This is the first step in hotly contested
battle. The entering of the suit will
surprise the Economics as much as any
one. for most of the members thought
the trouble had blown over.
An afternoon paper is authority for
- rko that thu mr. n W th
of Pennsylvania has entered legal
battle for the possession of the immense
wealth of the Economic society. The
matter now is in the hands of Attorney
General Hensel, and is heing prosecuted
by the ablest legal talent of the Alle-
gheny and Beaver county bars. Pro-
ceedings will be instituted at once and
Twill 30 fzr-reaching II successful it
will involve the absolute surrender of
all the property Of the Economic soci-
ETY. and its confiscation by the state. 1t
will be proceeding in escheat, based
on the established precedent of eminent
legal authority and the act of the as
sembly forbidding the conduct OF soci-
eties whose principles are at variance
with public custom and against the
spirit of the constitution.
It is claimed that sufficient authority
has been obtained to disrupt the celi-
bate community and turn its goods and
chattels into the state treasury. The
proceedings have no connection with the
suit filed in the Beaver county courts to-
day by Feichts aud othes Economics,
asking for receiver to wind up the af-
fairs of the organization. On the con-
trary, two battles will be fought on en-
tirely different lines, the issues being
contrary and detrimental to each other.
as the success of the states case would
necessarily mean the failure of the pr oa-
ecution on behalf of the malcontents in
the society.
