A QUEER STORY.
Suicide of Felix Steiner, Who Had
Married His own

LONDON, March 1S.-A dispatch to the
Standard from Buda Pest says: The Mem
get published the following: A man named
Felix Steiner, who twenty years ago lived
at Miskolez, secured a divorce from his
wife. The only child of his marriage, a
girl, who at the time of the divorce was
a rear old, was given into the care
OF relatives. Steiner emlgrated TO New
York. and his daughter. when she was
sixteen years old, also emigrated to that
city. She changed her name and obtained
a situation with a Hungarian family who
lived near a shop that had been opened
by Steiner. The latter became acquainted
with her, and after a time, not having the
slightest idea that she was his Laughter
fell in love with her and proposed mar
rage. He was accepted, and in the course
OF time the wedding took place. a year
later the couple had a child born to them.
Recently Steiner and his family returned
of Hungary. Here inquiries revealed the
fact of the relationship existing between
Steiner and his wife, and the man was so
hOrTi1ed with what he had done that he
know of the discovery, but as soon as he
learned that his wife was his own daugh-
ter, thinking to save her from the shame
that he had unconsciously brought upon
her, he wrote to her telling her to re-
turn TO New York. He had in the mean
away upon business. She obeyed his in
structions and started on her return TO
America. She is now en- route TO New
York. and is still innocent OF any knowl-
edge that her husband was really her own
father. Steiner. in his letter TO her, said
as soon as the business matter in which he
was engaged had been settled.

the Bellamy Plan.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-About six hundred
people in this city have banded themselves
together for the purpose of organizing a
colony on the cooperative plan by means
of which the members can enjoy the neces-

been enlisted from all trades, and the in
teRtion is to have each man work at his
trade as far as possible. No wages will be
paid. the members sharing equally in the
wealth the shall produce. The
colony Will do its own farming and manu-
facture whatever may be required. Women
Will be required to do no manual labor, but
Will be expected to devote their time to the
mental, moral and physical training of
their children and others under their charge.
Pastoral, agricultural and manufacturing
colonies will be established in every State
in the Union. John H. Copeland, late of
Texas, who has given much thought to the
question. is the founder of the Organization.

way labor. He said this evening that he
did not try to veil his views in regard to
the action Of Receiver Clark, of the Union
Pacific, in refusing to receive representa-
tives of the American Railway Union, Eu-
gene Debs's new order. He believes that
the unions purpose is to disrupt the old
organization. and therefore the brotherhoods
are not called on TO assist 1t in gaining rec
ignition.
Receiver Clark knows very well that 80
per cent. of his engineers, firemen and
others in the classes of labor covered by
the old Organizations are members of the
brotherhoods. and therefore he does not
See any need for the presence OF repre-
sentatives of the union in the conference
now being held. Chief Clark said he knew
that the union made claims of a large men,

that in many places the members are said
to be keeping the fact of their membership

Chief Clark is chairman Of the systems

at Cedar Rapids, and which provides for

ST. LOUIS. March 1S.-Mrs. John W. No

home in this city this afternoon. The end
came To- her while standing in her dining
room chatting with friends and waiting
for General Noble. who had stepped from
the room TO call carriages for a drive. She
complained suddenly of dizziness. Her
maid caught her as she was falling, and be-

been warned by eminent specialists, and OF
which disease both her parents died.

Perier and the Paris Deputies d.
vfded on the Colonies Question.
LONDON, March 1S.-The correspondent
in Paris Of the Daily News says that a
crisis has arisen there which is unprece-
dented since the existence of the present
Constitution. A number of the Senators
objected, In hot haste, regarding the estab-
lishment Of a ministry Of the colonies, and
agreed that the matter must be postponed
until Parliament again met. Immediately
after the adjournment Prime Minister Cast
went around the Hobbies saying
that he could not govern unless he had a
free hand, and that he was determined to
place colonial affairs on a new and better
footing by the creation of a ministry. If
he could not name the Minister Immediately
he would retire. The Prime Minister spoke
as If he thought the Senate wanted TO
force him to resign. Yet he must have
m that the fact that the Cabinet
was In a minority in the Senate has never
been thought a reason for the ~resiSna-
ton of a Ministry. The theory entertained
by the Prime Minister has, therefore,
caused amazement, but NJ. Casimir-Perier
is clearly in earnest. He refused to yield,
even when the Republican groups assured
him that their refusal to vote a grant for
the Ministry slap-dash did not show a hos
tile feeling toward the Ministers. Mr.. Cas-
imlr-Per1er has been OVerWorked, ana his
nerves nave suffered. The correspondent
of the Daily News adds:
Il hear that he is sorry that he took office
and, having made the sacrifice, he insists
on holding his position on his own condi-
tons"
A dispatch to the Standard from Paris
says: 1t is understood that the ministers
are unanimously of the opinion that it is
impossible for them TO assume the RESPONSE
bility of leaving the colonial department in
its present condition during the Easter re-
cess. The Cabinets declaration does not
require the immediate adoption of a bill
creating n ministry, but demands either its
adoption or the voting of the order of the
day, thus enabling the government to, pro-
coed Immediately TO the organization of the
ministry.
The Times's Paris correspondent says:
The creation of a colonial ministry is a
political act of the most serious and COM
plicated order, as such a ministry must
possess departments akin to the great minis
tries of Commerce, Foreign Affairs and War,
all working together without friction. In
order 10 accomplish this everything must be
fixed beforehand with absolute precision
and no escape left vague. The Senate I'm
d~erstood this and refused to pass at such a
breakneck speed a bill requiring long con-
SideratiOn.

Victim to Her Room in London and
Then Murdered Him.
LOVED HIS OWN DAUGHTER
Hungarian Father and Child In
nocently Married in New York.
When Felix Steiner Discovered the True
Relationship He Sent His Wife
Home and Killed Himself.


LONDON, March 1S.-This city has for a
comparatively long time been exempt from
murder, but to-day a sensation was caused
by the discovery OF a crime that, in it's de-
tails, somewhat resembles the notorious
Gouffe murder that occurred some time
ago in Paris. The scene of this latest hor-
TOR was in Grafton street, In the Soho dis
trict, which is infested with foreigners of
the lowest class. 1t was in the immediate
vicinity of the house in which the murder
was committed that the police recently
raided the Anarchist clubs. An Austrian
woman. Marie Hermann, who is well known
TO the police as a night prowler. recently
rented a small room in a house in Grafton
street. On last Thursday night, in company
with an elderly man, she was seen TO enter
the room. Subsequently loud quarreling was
heard by other tenants in the house, but
as wordy wars were OF frequent occurrence
no attention was paid to this disturbance.
On Friday a woman named Hutchins. who
lodged with the Hermann woman, found
bloodstains on a sink, and spoke to the
other woman about them. The latter passed
the matter off lightly. but. on Saturday.
she changed her lodgings, taking better
apartments in Marylebone street. She took
with her a heavy trunk. which she asked
should be carefully handled.
In the meantime the suspicion of the
Hutchins woman was aroused, owing to
the bloodstains she had found on the sink.
In addition, 1t became noised about the
house that the man who had gone to the
Hermann woman's room had not been seen
TO leave 1t. The Hntchins woman followed
the woman when she moved, and.
after learning her new address, informed
the police that she suspected that foul play
had been done. officers were sent to the
house in Marylebone street where the Her
mann woman had taken VI her residence,
and a search was made of the apartments
occupied by her. The trunk which the wOm-
an had been so careful about was in the
room. The police forced ii open, and found
in IL the body of the missing man. His
head had been battered, evidently with
some blunt instrument. The body presented
a frightful appearance, and the clothing in
which IL was attired was drenched with
blood. The Hermann woman was at once
taken into custody on a charge of willful
murder.
The body has been recognized as that Of
q well-to-dO ex-jobmaster named Stevens.
He was seventy-six years old. 1t is believed
that the Hermann woman had an accom-
plice in committing the murder, as Stevens
was a muscular man, 1t may be, however,
that he was killed while asleep. The pris-
oner is forty-three years old. She is ugly,
almost to responsiveness.
