WITH MASK AND PISTOL
A Lone RObber Attempts to
Loot a Passenger Train.

St. Louis. Dec. "A special to the
Post-Dispatch from KeOkuk, Iowa,
says:
One lonely rObber. with his face hid
den by a mask, and armed with a re-
vOlver, attempted to rob the passen-
gers of the north bound St Louis, Keo-
kuk & Northwestern train, which ar
rived here early this morning. A min
strel troupe and a theatrical company
were aboard the cars. The robber got
on at La Grange, Mo, about 40 miles
below here.
Soon after the train left La Grange.
the desperadO who had taken a seat in
the smoking car, put a mask on his
face and drawing a revolver started
through the car.
Pistol in hand he demanded the mon
ey and valuables of the passengers.
There was a scramble to get out of his
way, but some of the men in the coach
stood their ground and attempted to
disarm the bandit, who fired three shots
from his revolver, none of which took
effect. He lost his mask in the scufie
and finally escaped to the platform.
from which he sprang to the ground
while the train was going at full speed.
The bandit secured no booty and his
mask is in possession Of one of the
theatrical party.

GULDENSUPPE'S REMAINS.
The Three Parts in Pickle Will Now
Be Buried.

New York, Dec. Now that there is
no longer any mystery concerning the
death of VIM. Guldensuppe. for killing
whom Martin Thorn will tomorrow be
sentenced to execution, the horrible frag-
ments of the bath rubber's body may be
buried.
The trunk. legs and arms of the unfor-
tunate man, which were found wrapped
in three parcels. have been kept in pickle
1t the morg-ue in readiness to be produced
in court if needed during the trial of Mrs.
Mack and Martin Thorn. The confess
siOns of the prisoners made the identifica-
ton of the CHASTITY remains unnecessary.
Guldensuppe was a member of a German
benevolent society and it is said that this
organiza ton has requested that the re-
mains of their late brother be turned over
to them for interment- The coroner will
refer the request to District Attorney
Youngs, who viii probably advise that it
be granted. as Mrs. Mack has confessed
and her trial will be only matter of
form. So the head1ess body OF VIM. Gull
densuppe sections OF which were picked
up in the East river and in thicket in
Westchester county. will have funeral
and a decent burial The head. encased
in plaster of paris, is at the bottom of
the East river and viii probably never be

Took Place Today.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-The marriage of
Miss Marie Hitch, daughter of Capt
E. V. Hitch, formerly of New Orleans,
to Mr.. Menry George, ,Jr.,s son Of the late
Henry George of New York, was cele-
brated today at the home OF the brides
father, 255 Ontario street
The wedding was a quiet one owing
to the recent death of Mr.. Georges
father. Only the most intimate friends
and relations witnessed the ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. John
Rusk of the Militant church
The bride. who was simply, but
handsomely gOwned in white silk and
lace, was attended by her sister, Miss
Gilmore Hitch as maid of honor and
the groom was attended by Mr.. Ralph
Crawford of New York as best man
A wedding breakfast was served. af-
ter which Mr.. and Mrs. George left for
Washington.
The wedding was to have taken place
a week ago, but the sudden death of
Mr.. George in the heat of the New

Of the event.
The Topeka state journal., 1897-12-02

councillors today submitted to the gov
ernOr, complaints against the German
students in connection with the dis
turbances. The governor replied that
while he well understood recent events
had caused great excitement, he was
compelled TO point out that there was
no justification for the eXcesses in this
city and he further declared that the
utmost rigor would be exercised in or
der to re-esta blish order and protect
the property of Germans.
The Politik declaring that the present
agitation was started by persons to
wnOm the fatherland and nationality
are matters of Indifference, appeals to-
day to all parties to restrain a move
nent which might be fatal not only to
the fatherIand ana to its chief city,
but to the. political aspirations Of the
Bohemian nation"
Pilsen Bohemia, Dec. 2.-AS a result
of the threatening mob gatherings the
houses of German residents are spec
tally guarded by the police. Three
thousand people gathered in front Of
the town hall, and after singing ma
tional songs, proceeded to the German
gymnasium where they broke the WIN
dows. The police dispersed the crowd.
wounding one. The rioters then re
turned TO the town hail where, failing
to obtain the liberation of some of the
ring leaders who had been arrested
they broke the windows of the hall ana
of several buildings adjacent.
Vienna, Dec. -2.-The prospects for the
new ministry are OminOuS. The as
signment of portfolios has been re-
ceived on all sides with frigid reserve.
and although the dismissal of Count
Badeni has allayed the spirit of rebel
lion in Vienna and the German towns,
anarchy has broken out in the Slav
and Czech towns and provinces.
It looks as though Baron Guatsch
would have as great difficulty to face
the demands of the CZechs and social
lists as Count Badeni had. Seeing the
success that mob influence has had in
Vienna in bringing about the downfall
Of Count Badeni, the Czechs are trying
by the same influence to bring pressure
to bear upon theme cabinet.
The parliamentary situation is un-
changed and hopeless. Baron Gautsch
has conferred with the leaders of the
majority and the leaders of the minor
ity. but so far both parties appear ir-
recOncila Bile.

DIGS UP THE BODY.
Metropolitan Life Contests the
Claim of an EmpIOye
in Illinois.

st. Louis, Dec. "A special to the
Republic from Sandeval, Ill, says:
This little town is in the throes of a
sensation which threatens to disrupt
the community. The man about whom
the storm is raging is DR.. George H.
Rice, one of the most prominent ply
sicians of Marion county.
Mrs. Rice died last August, and long
continued rumors eliminated today in
the exhumation of the body at the in
stigation of the metropolitan Life IN
surance company of New York. in

favor for 81, 600.

who died eight years ago. Her life
was insured in different companies for
$1,000 altogether.

Metropolitan company here. The COM
pany sent its agents to investigate the
death and ordered the body eXhumed.

finally consented. and the body was ex-
humed today and portions of the inter

Charles t. Yerkes, ChicagO's
Streetcar Magnate,
Unfolds Some Startling Schemes
to the City Council.
MILES OF DOCKS
Are Proposed For the City's
Lake Front
And Conversion of the Chicago
River Into a Boulevard.

Chicago. Dec. 2-Twenty miles OF
docks on the lake front and the trans
formation of the Chicago river into a
boulevard by covering it with a culvert
from end to end, is what Chas. L.
Yerkes proposes for Chicago.
The street car magnate appeared be-
fore the city council committee on har-
bors and bridges today and vigorously
opposed the proposed deepening OF the
Chicago river and the lowering of the
tunnels. He urged that the city should
grant the 5000 feet of lake front it owns
between Randolph street and Park
Row to a corporation with $50, 100000
capital, to build 20 docks, each a mile
long which at the end of so years viii
revert to the city at the bare cost OF
construction.
Build them of stone" said he, land
Chicago will have the finest docks ia
the world, not excepting those of Liv-
erpool."
Mr.. Yerkes frankly declared it to be
his opinion that the money spent to
beautify the lake front is merely
thrown away. If his lake front har-
Dor plan We're carried out, he suggested
that the river be covered with cuivertS
and made into a boulevard, extending
from the mouth to the ends Of the north
and south branches, making, the speak
er said, the most magnificent bou-e-
ward in the world

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 2-Interna-

of the two legations at Washington will
attend in large numbers Among the
visitors will be II. Castle, secretary Of
the Hawaiian legation; NJ. s Gilman.

land and son Of Chief Justice Judd
The selection of affirmative side of the
question by Harvard is regarded as a
neat bit of diplomacy.
The president of the Yale Union de-
batting society is Hiram Bingham, Jr..
of Hawaii and he was naturally anX-
ious to have Yale allowed the annexa-
ton argument Harvard, however,
wanted that side herself and forced
Yale to act on the defensive

verdict of $65,0O0 recently given Mrs.
by her against her father-in-law, Peter

the defendant, one for criminal libel
and the other for alienation of affec-
