WAGES OF SIN.
A Frenchman Fatally
Wounds His Mistress
And Immediately After
Commits Suicide.
The Woman Was Preparing to
Return to Her Husband.
The Murderer Detained His Moth
of lllegitimate Noble Origin.

New York, Oct 25.-[By Telegraph ]
"A French intrigue ended in murder
last night. Maurice de Cornellissen,
who had always led disreputable life,
in his last hours tried to publish the
story OF his mothers weakness. Then
he shot and dangerously wounded En-
ellie Alexandra, with whom he had
lived and who had deserted him, and
finished by sending a bullet into his
own brain, dying instantly.
In the maudlin memoir, addressed to
the newspapers, Cornelissen says he is
the illegitimate son OF French noble
man, who afterward deserted his
mother. Later she met the Comte de
Cornellissen, who allowed her son to
use his name. Cornellissen began life
as student for the ministry was II
a teacher in the Berlitz School of Lam
guages, in Boston; photographer, and
riding master. In 1891 he returned
to New York with his little son Maurice,
now five years DID, He was a riding
master in the Central Park Riding
Academy when be met the Alexandra
woman, who had been only three
months separated from her husband
Louis, now night clerk at the Hotel L.
Avenir, No. 134 Prince street.
After two years the woman, with her
boy Reni, resolved to return to her hus-
band. From this time, as shown in his
last letter, the design to kill her grad
ually grew on Cornellissen. He watched
day and night the house where she had
room, No. 218 West Sixteenth street.
He followed her to the hotel where her
husband is employed, and was thrown
out. Mrs. Alexandra at last three days,
ago, sought the protection of the police
court, and at Jefferson Murket obtained
a summons against Cornellissen on a
charge of using threats and an at
tempted assault. "When be comes
again l will serve him with the paper"
she said, with light laugh.
1t was 4 90 O'Clock yesterday after
noon when Mrs. Thuill ard, who keeps
the house where Mrs. Alexandra
roomed, heard ring at the door bell.
AS she opened the door Cornellissen
stepped into the hallway. Mrs. Alex
andre came downstairs. As Mrs Thuil-
lard went out she saw Mrs. Alexandra
put the paper in his hand, but even as
she turned scream from Mrs. Alexa1-
DIRE stopped her; then came the two
reports in quick succession from Cor
nellissen's revolver; then two heavy
falls. All was over. Cornellissen was
dead as stone. Mrs. Alexandra, still
breathing, was taken to the New York
hospital. The doctors say she will
surely die. The bullet passed through
her right eye and lodged in the base of
her skull.
Three letters were found on Cornell.

Nearly a Fearful Repetition

DETKo1T, Mich, Oct. 25.-The Battle
Greek Grand Trunk train bearing the
wounded from the Battle Creek disas-
ter to Chicago barely escaped repeti-
ton of the horror through the gross
violation of orders similar to that which
caused the first holocaust. The train
ran by the station at which it was to
await the east-bound heavily loaded
passenger train, and but for the fact
that the east bound crew also infracted
rules by remaining over time for the
men to lunch, the trains would have
met at full speed between the stations.
AS it was, the trains came together at
the station with considerable force, one
standing still while the other was slow
ing down for the station. When the
crews returned to Battle Creek they
were discharged and an effort made to
hush the matter up.

A BABY PRISONER OF WAR.
An Interesting Incident of an Engage
ment in the Crimea.

An Interesting Incident of an Engage
ment in the Crimea.
A physician who was one OF the Eng
lish medical staff in the Crimean war
tells, in Seventy Years of Life in the
Victorian Era a story which he calls
the 'baby incident" A mandate had
gona forth to the effect that certain
suburb of Sebastopol should be raided
by a select body of English; the attack
was to take place at midday, when the
enemy were at dinner.
The venture was so quickly executed
that it was completely successful. The
occupants of the cottages had fled,
leaving their dinners untouched on the
tables, and the canaries in their cages:
in one cottage was found child about
six months old, clothed, and asleep in
it's cradle.
An officer carried away the little one
as prisoner of war, and sent the news
of,his capture to headquarters. Word
came at once from Lord Raglan, order
ing that flag of truce should be sent
out next morning and that all possible
search and inquiry should be made for
the mother of the child. Some Of the
officers were amused that so much
trouble should be taken about stray
baby, but the chiefs order had to be
obeyed.
No mother was forthcoming, how
ever, to acknowledge the lost wa1f.
But there was woman in the rifle
brigade who had baby few weeks
old, who was willing to undertake
double duty. About three weeks
elapsed, and then Raglan the Good
sent another message to his staff, who
had forgotten all about the adopted
child, directing that inquiry be made
after ''the mother and her twins.
Word came back that the two chill
dren were thriving admirably, but thai
the mother herself looked worn ano
tired.
"How many cows are there?" asked
Raglan.
zone, SIR was the reply.
''Then," said the self-denying chief
'tsend the woman down a bottle O.
milk every morning"
After this, the little army proteg'
became very popular. A chaplain
christened her Alma, and at the end o
the war the queen adopted her ant
gave her liberal education.

SmuggIerS Arrested.

PORT TOWNSEND, Oct. 25.-Ned Tum-
ner was arrested last night with twenty
pounds of opium in his possession.
He was held in $500 bonds pending
trial in the district court at Seattle.
Charles Holmes, who was with Tum ner
at the time of his arrest ran away to
avoid capture, was apprehended on the
same charge and also held for trial.
Both men belong in Port Discovery and
own two sloops. They were detected
by Customs Officers W. A. Hutchinson
and Chris Miller. 1t was not known
heretofore that Miller was an inspector,
as he was employed as brakeman on the
railroad running out to Quilcene. He
is an ardent Republican and has held a
commission for ten days, being one OF
the eight new inspectors recently ap,
pointed by order of the treasury depart,
ment. 1t was learned that Deputy Col.
lectors Barthrop and Jones met Tum-
ner and Holmes in the woods while
they were carrying the opium in plain
sight. They attempted to arrest them
when their courage failed and they al
| lowed them to proceed into town.

ShOrt-Handed.
A Falling Off of Interest

PETER Wants to Know if There
Is Still Free Coinage.
Governor Hughes Engaged In Nego-
tiations for the Establishing of a
European Colony In Arizona.

WARRINGTON, Oct. 25.-[By Tele-
graph. mo quorum was present at the
opening of the senate this morning,
but the silver men paid no attention to
that fact and did not, as heretofore, de-
mand legal number before proceeding
to business. There was a general air OF
relief that the long struggle was over,
extending even to the silver men them
selves. As soon as the session opened
Senator PETER offered a resolution di-
recting the committee on judiciary to
investigate and report whether the re-
peal of part of the act of Feb. %, 1878,
by the passage of the act of July IA,
1890, affected the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1, or whether that
law was still in force, which was re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary,
and the repeal bill was taken up.
Senator Stewart resumed his speech.
He spoke of the gold combination hav-
ing agents in the capitol to dictate ieg-
islation, and es having elected presi-
dent determined to carry out their pol
icy. The president is now in the sad
die and congress helpless. The time
might come when the naughty tyrants
would meet just rebuke from the
people.

The Great Northern Sued.

TACOMA, Oct. 25.-Pearl M. Hebb has
entered suit for 5000 damages against
the Great Northern. He claims that
he bought first-class ticket for Taco
main Chicago last summer and that he
was expelled from the buffet car by
force. On the occasion of his fret 60
ing to the buffet car he was told to
leave it, but refused. Next day when
he entered he was approached by sew
eral Of the trainmen and intimidated
into going out. The next day he re-
fused to 60 out and was forced out.
During the process he savs that he was
sworn at and abused generally, and
that he was compelled to 60 into the
second.class car The defense will, it is
understood, plead that it is not COM
pany Incorporated under the laws OF
the state. The plaintiff will rely upon
the fact that the road maintains offices
in the state in which business is done.

Poison from the Breath.

Everybody has noticed the drops of
moisture that collect on cold day on
the window panes of room where a
number of persons have assembled, but
everybody does not know that this
moisture is poisonous. If few drops
be gathered and thrown on red-hot
stove the evaporation will give out a
strong smell like burning hair or
feathers. The condensed breath con-
tains large quantity of organic mat
ter, and so is rank poison.

A Great scheme.

The New York Reform Clubs tariff
scheme will DO the most inviting thing
the British manufacturers have seen for
many day. The design is to give for
elgn manufacturers control ofthe Amer
lean market,
IfAmerican wage.carners desire to go
on earning wagea iu the industries they
understand, they will have to cross tho
ocean and take their chances on that
side OF the tariff question.
Scarcely any duty on necessary of
life" Is to be above twenty-five per cent.
The men who make their living by pro-
ducing these commodities may feel that
there is no place for them in tho Re-
form Clubs bill. It is easy to remind
them that their case does not como
within the scope OF tariG.for.revcnue
only.
Revenue is the thing. That being in
sufficient quantity, the British political
economy docs not concern itself further.
1t is the same with the imitation article
in this country.
The wage-earner who voted for what
the Reform Club wanta to give him will
surely not complain when he gets what
he voted for. 1t won't be like going to
tho circus, but it will be an experience
nevertheless.
