Ernest Knabe. the piano manufacturer,
who died in Baltimore on Tuesday, had
been in i'll health for two years. His

1898, and four years later began the manu-

On the death of William Knabe, ST., in
1864, the business was taken up and con-
tinued under the same name by Ernest and
William knabe, sons of the deceased, and
Charles keidel, his son-in-law.
His life was not supposed to be in imme-
date danger until within the last few
weeks, when his family began to realize
that death could not be far off.
Mr.. Knabe was at the ware rooms of the
firm on Friday last, and from there he went
to the mandatory and remained an hour
or two. This was the last time he left his
home, for after returning there he gradu-
ally sank until he died. When the end
came his sons Ernest and William, his sis
ter, Mrs. Charles Keidel; his cousins, Miss
Emma Riemann and Mr.. Ferdinand Rie-
mann, and mis- physician, DIR. Hemmeter,
were by his side. He had been unconscious
since Monday night, and during the last
hours he simply sank into a sleep that end
ed in death.

HENRY 8. IVES DEAD.
The Napoleon of Finance Passes Away
at AshevtlIe, N. c.

at AshevflIe, N. C.
Henry s. Ives. the Napoleon of Finance"
died at Asheville, N. c., Tuesday night. Mr..
Ives reached there about two months ago
from Florida in an almost dying condition
and hardly left his bed since. He leased a
splendid residence in the suburbs and lived
quietly with his wife and few servants.
The cause Of death was consumption.
When the failure of Henry 8. Ives & Co.
was announced a few years ago 1t was
learned from the schedule filed by the
assignee of the firm that Ives had been able
to pile up liabilities aggregating SIT ,666, 1T5
while the actual assets in sight only footed
up to S11,122.016. The failure created a
great sensation, and while there was talk
at the time of criminal prosecution, the i'm
preston gradually became general that the
scandal would be allowed to die out.
In the following year criminal proceedings
were, however, begun against Ives by Jul
Illus Dexter of Cincinnati. president Of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad
1t was charged that Ives had $3.50. 500, Of
which he Is said to have Incorporated
100000. Ives was arrested and was held in
$4,000 bail at the Tombs police court In
New York. He was convicted and served a
term in prison.

police on a charge of having poisoned sew

amount of the insurance on their lives. As
Nine. Joniaux occupied a prominent posi-
ton in society centers OF the kingdom her
arrest has created profound sensation.
Nine Joniaux is the daughter Of the en-
inent Belgian Gen. Ablay. and niece OF a
former aid-de-camp on the STAFF of King
Leopold. Though she was never wealthy in
her own right, her high family connections
and the great wealth OF many OF her rela-
tives assured her an enviable social posi-
ton. Nile. Ablay was married at about
the age of twenty-five. to Frederick Faber,
the author of a book entitled THE French
Theater in Belgium" and other works. and
lived with him until he died, in 1854. In
1885 Nine. Faber was married to NJ. Joni
aux
Although NJ Joniaux's income was con-
fined 10 salary Of only 1000 francs a
year. and his wife was virtually without
private means, they lived in great sty le
maintaining a magnifcently appointed es-
tablishment in a large mansion I'm the Rue
de Nerviers, where they entertained lavish

murder Nine. Joniaux has been taken into

further found that the premiums on the
policies had been paid by the Joniauxs.
The next victim was Nine. Joniaux'e
brother. NJ. Alfred Ablay. who was former
ly a captain in the Belgian army. but had
been retired, presumably on account OF his
dissolute habits. His life was insured for

a few days before his death. the premium,

by ethe Joniauxs.

and a few days after his arrival at Nine
Joniaux's house.
The succession of sudden deaths at Nine
Joniaux's residence of persons whose lives
were insured for her benefit aroused the
suspicious Of the police, and their investi-
cations have developed overwhelming proof
OF her guilt The bodies of Nile. and ex-
Capt Ablay and NJ Kerchove have been ex-

In Importance in Washington The Star
comes first and is probably not only the
most conspicuous and prosperous daily in
Washington, but is without doubt the best
appreciated and best patronized evening
newspaper in the United States. In point
Of circulation it is not reached by any
other evening paper that is sold for more
than 1 cent anywhere in America. The
circulation of The Star is confined almost
exclusively to Washington. 1t is claimed
for 1t, and probably truthfully claimed,
that no other newspaper in the country
goes into so large a percentage of all the
houses within Il radius of twenty miles
from the office OF publication.
The Star has enjoyed unprecedented
prosperity for twenty-five years, and is
one of the very few papers that has failed
to advance its advertising rates in proper
ton to its growth in circulation, influence
and popularity with the community in
which 1t is issued.
Considering its character, influence and
circulation, it's advertising rates are ex-
ceedingly low, being matched in this re-
spect by no more than two or three news
papers issued in other sections. The class
of advertising it carries is of the best.
The value of this paper to an advertiser,
all things considered, and taken in con-
ncction with the comparative cost of adj
Yertising in it, places it not lower down
than third in a list of all the best daily
papers published in the United States and
advertiser will have great difficulty in de-
Gliding upon even small number as
two to place in advance of The Star. He
may even fall to fix upon one.

.AIdrich Dared Democrats
to Vote on the Tariff.
AN ORATORICAL BATTLE.
Bad Feeling Crops Out in . Debate
Over the Granting Of Pensions.

WASHINGTON, April 2S-Yesterday was
a field day In the senate. There was
maneuvering. marching, clashing and
rapid firing. The bugle notes OF defiance
had sounded on both sides.
The news OF the lively passage-at-arms
going on spread rapidly, and u number OF
representatives from the other end OF the
Capitol hastened over to make eager in
quiriss.
The discussion was started by Sherman
of Ohio. 1t was not his intention to ere
ate disturbance when he injected re-
mark into the speech of Senator Lindsay
of Kentucky. The junior senator from
Ohio has been enjoying considerable
notoriety by his recent assertion that "A
tariff bill had been agreed upon by the
Democratic leaders which would pass the
senate" but IL was not Senator Sherman's
intention to again bring Ohio prominently
TO the front.
Sherman's remark was followed by
Mr.. Aldrich, and in the colloquy In
which he engaged with Mr.. Lindsay,
there developed the most interesting sit
uation that has yet taken place during
the tariff debate in the senate. Mr.. Aid
rich had pointed out the difference of
opinion between the Democrats of the
senate and intimated that they could not
agree upon a tariff bill, to which Mr..
Lindsay replied that II the Republicans
would give them an opportunity they
would soon show that they could agree.
Aldrichs Challenge.
Mr.. Aldrich here startled the senate by
Offering in behalf Of the Republicans to
vote at o'clock on the bill as 1t came
from the house. Mr.. Lindsay skillfully
parried the thrust by asking why not
vote upon the bill as reported by the SEN
ate finance committee.
Mr.. Aldrich here became bold, but at
the same time wary, In the use of Ian
guage, and asked Mr.. Lindsay II the
Democrats would vote on the bill as it
now stood. The Kentucky senator was
willing, SO far as he was concerned, but
could not pledge the vote of his coli
leagues.
Mr.. Aldrich demanded that Mr.. Harris
(Tenp.) speak for the Democratic side,
and say whether OF not the Democrats
would vote on the bill as 1t now stood at
o'clock. The interest Of senators and
spectators in the gallery became intense.
All eyes conferred upon the sturdy, white
haired senator from Tennessee, but lac
did not reply. There were hurried con-
sultations, and It was soon known that
the defiance of the Republicans would be
hurled back, and there was q period Of
expectancy when Mr.. Lindsay neared the
end of his speech

A Busy Day.

Twenty one private pension bills passed,
tells the story of the days work in the
house. A bill to refer an Alabama cotton
claim to the court Of claims met with
much opposition, on the ground that it
would open the way to. other claims sg-
gregating Sl20, 900, 900, and was not voted
upon before the recess. The evening ses-
ZION was devoted TO pension bills.
The usual monotony of the Friday night
session was broken last night. The mem-
bers were in rancorous temper, the lie
was passed, and two members were
called to order for unparliamentary Ian
guage. Mr. Talbert Dem, s. C.), who
has been trying for several weeks to get
into the Record series of articles on the
subject of pensions, repeated his attempt
last night. All his attempts were re-
fused. Mr.. Pickler Is. d. was partic-
tAarly determined In his opposition.
Both gentlemen showed signs of temper.
"That is the most slanderous attack on
Union soldiers ever published" said Mr..
pickler.
"The gentleman Is talking about some
thing he knows nothing about" shouted
Talbert.
"The gentleman from South Carolina"
continued Mr. Pickler, lis only trying to
slander Union soldiers"
IL deny it," said Mr. Talbert, shaking
his fist aloft. 1.-THE gentleman has ut
tered falsehood. pure and simple"
Stirred Them Up.
Instantly dozen members on the Re
publican side were on their feet and Mr..
Hepburn called Mr.. Talbert TO order and
demanded that his words be taken down.
They were read from the clerks desk,
and after some wrangling Mr.. Talbert
was given permission to explain. Mr.
Talbert began his explanation by stating
that he was sorry he was obliged to say
what he had, but IL was true He would
withdraw what he had said. however. IL
Mr. Picker would withdraw his remarks.
The tone OF the South Carolinian's ex-
PLANTATION did not suit Mr. Baker (Rep,
N. II. }, who declared that the explans-
tion was as offensive as the original
language, and he again called Mr.. Talbert
10 order.
The point of no quorum was Cnen mace.
and after evil Of the roll the house at
10 30 adjourned.

Challenge Accepted.

When he fnia~ed, Mr.. Harris immedi-
ately arose, and although others sought
the floor he was recognized. In an intense
and dramatic manner he read the YER
batim report of the colloquy between
the Rhode Island and Kentucky senators
and himself, and at it's conclusion be ac-
cepted the proposition to vote on the
senate bill, aud followed 1t mp with a re-
quest for unanimous consent for such a
vote at 3 o'clock.
IL WAS at once apparent that Mr.. Aid
rich did not intend to accept this offer.
Several Republican senators objected to
the unanimous consent, and Mr.. Aldrich,
with some difficulty, received recognition.
He explained that while he had offered to
vote on the house bill, he had only asked
the Democratic senators IL they would
vote on the senate bill. Further than
this, he made the proposition to the SEN
ate and not to q Democratic caucus,
which he intimated had been held since
his proposition had been made.
Senator Teller stated his objections TO a
vote in vigorous terms, and in an allusion
TO the compromise tariff bill brought out
a vigorous denial by Senator Voorhees,
that any such bill was in existence.
The interest in the battle had dissp-
peared, the bugle sounded retreat, aud
the most dramatic scene of the tariff de-
bate closed.
