PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27.-John Rau-
melle, who murdered his mistress while
she slept, on Philadelphia street, below
York, on Tuesday night, was arrested
yesterday morning by a squad of Tenth
district police at the home of his wife,
whom he had cruelty wronged and de-
serted. He was locked up at the
Central Station, and is being
closely watched. w. F. Ham

lonely surroundings that a most striking
scene of true woman's love occurred.
Although shamefully abused and de.
serted by the man who had sworn
to love, cherish and protect her, the
love for the man she called husband had
remained afame in her breast When,
hunted down and in desperation, he

past, but took him in, and even lied in
the hope that his presence might not be
discovered.
The ssene enacted there, in the pres
ence of Grocer Valentine Berle, the
wife's landlord was at once pathetic and
dramatic. The mans bravado disap-
pesred before the sorrowing gaze of hil
mother, and IS he told her Of his double
life, Of his love for his mistress, of hi.

bravery.
NEW YORK, oct. 27.-The steamer
Gellert, from Hamburg, with forty four
cabin and 221 steerage passengers, ar
rived to-day. Her captain and crew told
a terrible tale of narrow escape from
total destruction by fire at ses.
On Sunday, October %, at noon, FIRE
was discovered aft, directly under the
first class saloon and amid bales of bed
feathers, barrels of toys and other goods.
Smoke came out of the steerage
ventilators and the passengers, panic
stricken, rushed to the decks. The
officers remained cool, and the crew acted
with great promptness in obeying orders.
All hands were quickly called. The
ventilators were covered and steam and
water put into the steerage and lower
hold. The smoke increased and all the
life boats were made ready to lower
away.
The steam was stopped to prevent
the fire being famed by the draft and
all the effects of the passengers were
brought on deck. Many of the pas
might be spared, but they were huddled
in the forward plrt and kept from
running about
The crew worked with the greatest
heroism and tried to get at the fire
direct by cutting holes through the cabin
deck to the steerage, but, after several Of
the crew had been overcome by smoke,
the attempt had to be abandoned.
Several sailors. sought to descend Ito
the fire by way of the main hatch but
were forced back by the dense volumes
of smoke. In despair Captain Kaempf
ordered all openings closed and then day
light was awaited.
The next morning the cabin deck was
flooded but the temperature in the saloon
increased rapidly despite the fact that
everything there had been soaked. By
this time smoke was pouring through
cracks in the.decRs.
Holes were then made in the saloon
deck and hose was put through forcing
4 the water direct into the fire. The iron
plates on the outside of the ship, which
had become heated, were also cooled.
This method of fighting the fire was
kept up till Tuesday when a little band
of volunteers burst through direct to the
fire with several lines of hose aud extin.

The passengers meanwhile had slept

had children with them, moaned ano

After the flames had been extinguished
the smouldering portions of the cargo
were thrown overheard. The origin oi
the fire was spontaneous combustion.
During the three days the fire wal
fought the sea was rough and this added
TO the diiiicultiesl and dangers. Every

Local Currency Repudiated

In the United States Senate last Saturday
Mr.. VANCE moved to amend the SHERMAN
amendment by adding to 1t a proyiso re-
pealing the tax on Stats-bank notes. Mr.
GoRMAN. the great leader of the Demo
cratic party. moved to lay Mr.. VANCE's
motion on the table, and there it was laid
by vote of more than two to one, or, to
be exact, by vote of 30 to l6. We are glad
20 find that the Senate is so largely OPP
posed TO the standardization of the cur
Iency and the multiplication of the kinds
Of banks and the varieties of bank notes.
There is no wisdom III talking about the
unconstitutionalty of the 10 per cent. tax
after that tax has been pronounced con-
stitutional by the able constitutional law
yers in the Senate, to say nothing OF the
decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States bearing upon that question.
The businessmen will stand by the Sen
ate, and the farmers, planters, mechanics.
and all other classes will applaud both the
Senate and the businessmen.
