His Wedding Day.
By Gable to the United Press.

By Gable to the United Press.
ROME, Feb. 6, 1S94-The carnival season
Civita Luvigna, eighteen miles southeast of
this city, has been brought to an abrupt
close by the cowardly assassination of one of
the prominent residents of that place. In 1884
Signor Ciampanella, resident of Clvlta
Lavigna, became involved in dispute with
young man named Falcini, and the latter
was killed, it being subsequently proved that
the killing was done in self-defence: Falcini
had a brother who at the time of the killing
was ten years old. He determined
to avenge the death of his brother,
and as time passed on he
began to lay his plans to put an end to Clam
panella's life. The latter was to have been
married today, and great preparations had
been made for the event The invitations
had been issued, and most everybody in the
village, which has only 800 inhabitants, ex-
pected to have dance and a feast.
There will be no wedding Early this
morning, Falcini, who is now twenty years
old, avenged his brothers death. He
pectant bridegroom, and then placed the
corpse in the nuptial bed that had already
been prepared. Falcini then surrendered
himself to the police, acknowledging his
crime without the slightest trace of remorse.
The bride-elect was informed of the fate of
her intended husband, and was taken to the
room in which the murderer had placed the
body When she saw the corpse lying on
the nuptial couch her grief was frightful 1t
is feared that she will lose her reason
Falcinis sister and brother-in-law have
been arrested, it being suspected that they
instigated Falcini to commit the murder
when he did.
The town was Mortified when the news Of
the murder was made public, and the car
nival fetes were at once stopped.

ing by Tuley Hassan.
By Gable to the Brftcd Press


MADRID, Feb. 6, 1S94.-An official account
of the reception of General Martinez de

PEIXOTO'S CLEMENCY.

By Gable; Copyrighted By the United Press.
Rio JANEIRo, Feb. 6, 1s94-President
Peixoto has offered to pardon privates be-
longing to the insurgent forces who apply
for clemency within two months.
During the past three days extraordinary
but unsuccessful efforts have been made to
induce members of the regular army to de-
sert the government and join the insurgent
forces.
When it was thought the regulars
would turn their arms against the
Government the insurgent fleet was
brought close to the shore in order that a
force might be speedily landed to cooperate
with the troops. The insurgents were con

REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.

HoLYoKE, Mass, Feb. 6, 1S94.-The Ger
mania Mills Company, manufacturing
woolen goods and employing 800 hands, when
running at full capacity, has been shut down
for time on account of the business uncer-
tainty. Yesterday the company resumed
work with 200 hands, and paying wages at
20 per cent. horizontal reduction from
the old schedule. The Company owns
sixty tenemenrs which are mostly occupied
by employees, and the rent on these has also
been reduced 20 per cent to all tenants
who are working in the Germania Mills.
The reason given for the wage reduction IS
that other mills producing similar
goods have decided to take TINS
step, and competition is SO close that
the Germania Company is obliged
to follow suit or remain idle. The pro-
spective change in the tariff schedule Is
named as the primary cause.
The Farr Alpaca Company, which IS
operating its mills at about one-third the
full capacity, and on a wage schedule
of 10 per cent. reduction. as
adopted last summer, is not running
out of stock on hand, and has not decided
upon future plans of operation. The goods
manufactured by this company come into
direct competition with the extensive pro-
ductions of Bradford, England, and the fu-
ture course of the business will depend
largely upon the action taken by the
English manufacturers and the Amerl-
can markets. Before the recent reduction
in wages, the Farr Alpaca Company paid
its employees double the wages paid for
similar work in the mills of Bradford The
Beebe Webber Woolen Mills have been run
ming for some weeks on three-quarters time,
but yesterday began on full hours with
wage reduction of 10 per cent
1t is hoped ty the manufacturers that the
mills may be able to continue production on
such favorable terms that wages will suffer
no further reduction, but may before long
resume their old satisfactory figures.

He Died A POOR MAN.
So Says Father Egan Of Father
Corrigan- -Youngs Ap-
plieation.

A solemn mass of requiem was celebrated
this morning at st. Patricks Church for the
repose of the soul of the late Rev. Patrick
Corrigan. Very Rev. Dean McNulty of
Paterson was the celebrant; Father Taafe of
Brooklyn, deacon, and Father Connolly of
Perth Amboy, sub-deacon. A number of
priests were seated in the sanctuary. The
Rev. Thaddeus Hogan of Trenton was to
have delivered the eulogy, but he was unable
to be present. Father Egan of Morris Plains
took his place. Father Egan reviewed the
life of the dead priest in detail, his work in
Hudson County, especially in st. Peters
Parish and in Hoboken.
Continuing, Father Egan said:-''Al-
though nearly sixty summers had passed
over his head, his hair was still unwhitened,
his health was robust, and the glow of youth
was still seen in his features He was an
honor to his religion and his race. His love
for his adopted country was unfounded, and
his best thoughts and labors were given to
advance the cause of religion and educa-
ton"
DIED POOR MAN
In concluding Father Egan made this
statements Through thirty four years in
the ministry he laid by nothing. but good

to his reward and his debts paid he had not
money enough saved to bury him."
Counsellor Alexander G. Young, today,
fled in the Orphans Court an appeal from
the probate of the will of the late Rev. Pat
rick Corrigan of Hoboken. The document
was simply technical one and merely petit
toned Judge Hudspeth to take the evidence
which will be offered to show the priest was
not of sound mind when he made his will.
SAYS FATHER CORRIGAN IS INSANE.
Counsellor Young also made the unusual
request to the Court that the executors of
the will be compelled to give bonds although
the testator in the will provides that
no bonds shall be given This action
was taken by Mr.. Young for the
purpose of showing that he and his client,
Eliza T. Ryan, did not concede that any will
had been made In other words, that the
will of Father Corrigan was no will, because
the testator did not know what he was do
lug when he signed it. The Court reserved

ANOTHER RAILWAY MYSTERY.
Special to the jersey CITY Ne1us.

RAILWAY, Feb. 6, 1S94.-This morning as
Charles Tice. tinsmith, was going to his
place of business he noticed, in crossing the
Irving street bridge, piece of muslin and,
looking down in the water, saw an
object resembling body. He began
an investigation, and found a brown silk
dress, white apron and a light calico wrap
per. The dress was torn in fragments, as
was the white apron, but the calico
wrapper was intact. After securing these
things he reported his find to Chief
Crane, who went to the scene and began an
official investigation, finding a heavy blue
flannel petticoat at the middle of the arch
way of the bridge. The water is eight feet
deep.
The river is covered with ice, making the
investigation progress slowly. The police
are positive that another mysterious crime
has been committed, but so far they have no
clues to work upon.

ANOTHER ENOYOLIgAL.
Leo Writes On the Union of the
Western and Eastern Churches.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

by CuDto " Ctc CItttcu EftoS.
ROME, Feb. 6, 1S94.-The representative
in this city of the United Press has re-
ceived authoritative information to the
effect that the Pope will shortly publish
an encychcal on the union of the West
ern and Eastern churches. On Sunday
last His Holiness read to Cardinal Lang
enieux, Archbishop of Reims. important
passages from the .encyclical; The Pope
traces the attempts that have been made to
effect union of the churches since
the schism, and shows the endeavors
of the Papacy to bring about union. The
encyclica1 indicates the political and theo-
logical obstacles in the way Of effecting the
desired end and enumerates the advantages
that would be derived by the Eastern
Church through union with the Western.
The Pope declares that he is strongly in
favor of keeping intact the rites, preroga-
tives, autonomy and discipline of the East
ern Church, for the Papacy, though
universal, is not Latin. The encychcal con-
cludes with pathetic and ardent prayer
that this historical event will be accomplished
upon. It is probable that the encyclical will
be published on March 3.

ABOUT FROGS.
Queer Things to BE Observed I'm Re-
gard to These Animals.

Queer Things to BE Observed I'm Re-
gard to These Animals.
A remarkable thing about these creatures
is that the larger part of the breathing is
done through the skin. In fact, it is said
that this supply of air is necessary addi-
tion to that taken in by ordinary breathing,
as the latter does not supply sufficient air to
support life in frog.
Another peculiar thing about the skin of
the frog is its powerful absorption of water.
This is due, of COURSE to the numberless
minute pores with which their skin is pro-
vided. 1t has been proved that frog can
thus soak up half it weight of water in an
hour. The skin of the stomach is most ac-
tive in this way, and, at the same
time, is most often in contact with
moisture, such as mud, dewy grass,
wet ground and leaves afford. As the skin
perspires quite as freely as it absorbs, it is
easily seen why contact with moisture is so
necessary. Besides the loss from evapora-
ton, there is the stopping of skin breathing
also, because the skin has to be kept moist
and soft, to absorb fresh air and give off
used air from the system. The soaking OF
water is what gives the frogs skin such
cold, clammy uncanny feeling when handled.
And it explains strange thing. Though
bullfrog were poked with red hot iron, it
would not feel it enough to move out of its
tracks, for the moisture the skin forms q
kind of film of vapor beuv cen it and the iron,
which it takes time to heao through; and SO
the frog would not feel the pain from the
heat Yet if hot water is dropped on him,
he will instantly jump from pain as this heat
at once strikes into the skin.
A frog has another safeguard agains4
drying up--that is, kind of interior sack
for storing water. Like the camel, it thus
keeps supply which carries it over many a
dry place. when it would otherwise lose all
its moisture and die. The water is as pure
and tasteless as that of any spring.
In Australia, it is said, one species of frog
prepares for drought in wonderful way

NO RIGHT TO THE RENTS.

Mayor Wanser has received sereral letters
of late asking why it is the City Hall Com
missioners do nat collect rent from the .occu-
pants of the houses on the City Hall site.
The Mayor refeared the matter to the
City Hall Commissioners. They stated this
morning that they could not very well col
lect the rents when they did not have the
title to the property.
