GENERAL ORDWAY EXPIRES.
Death Probably fastened by the Actions
of His Daughter.

OF HIS Daughter.
New York, Nov 21.-General Albert
Ordway died this evening at the Hoff-
man house. When death came the gen.
erals wife, his sister, Miss Emma Ord
way, DR.. Pease, the attending physi-
clan. and Lieutenant Very, a close
friend and business associate, were at
his bedside. General Ordway and his
wife returned from Europe last We'd
nesday. They engaged rooms at the
Hoffman house. Next day the general
was taken sick and he confined to grow
weaker until 7:15 o'clock this evening,
when he passed away. ,
The generals death was doubtless
hastened by the actions and recent
events in connection with his daughter,
Bettina Girard. The latter was a day
or two ago transferred to private SAN
itarium. Owing to the pleading of his
wife, who had become reconciled to her
daughter, General Ordway finally con-
sented to the return of the former act
ress and reunion Of the family in
Washington was arranged. General
Ordway's death is attributed by the at
tending physician to jaundice and pleu-
risy, which developed from cold con-
tracted in Paris
Brevet General Ordway, who was
born in 1843, served with credit and
gallantry throughout the civil war, the
greater portion Of the time with his
regiment, the Twenty fourth Massachu-
setts infantry. He was appointed ad-
jutant of the regiment for an act of
gallantry in 1862 Later he served in
the army of the Potomac, then in Flor
ida and through the campaign Of 1864
65 in the army of the James. At TWEEN
ty-two years of age he was made bre-
vent brigadier general, being the young
est officer in the service to receive that
grade. His regiment and himself were
retained in the service until February,
1866, and were the last volunteer troops
mustered out in the state.

MILDRED BREWSTER,S CASE.

Her Lawyers Confident They Can Prove
She is Insane.
Montpelier, VT, Nov. 1.-Interest in
the Mildred Brewster case increases as
the time for her trial approaches, and
many are the speculations as to the
outcome. Miss Brewster's lawyers are
confident that they can prove their eli
ent insane, and profess to have no doubt
regarding the result. 1t is the prevail
ing opinion that the trial will be long
one because of the mass of expert tes-
timony to be introduced by the state.
Miss Brewster will probably not be In
court until tomorrow afternoon. The
work of impanelling jury will COM
mence at once.

JOIN CLOSELY FOR DEFENSE.
Count GoluchowsM Afraid of Trans At
lantic Nations Competition


Vienna, Nov. 21.-Count Goluchowski,
the Austro-Hungarian minister of for
eign affairs, when making an appeal to
all Europe in his annual address yes
terday before the Austrian and Hun
garian delegations, to take advantage
of the present eras of peace and to
join closely for the vigorous defence Of
conditions common to each European
country as against the crushing COM
petition of transatlantic nations" !"
said:
"a turning point has been reached
in European development which calls
for the unremitting attention of gov
ernment. The great problems of ma
terial welfare, which become more
pressing every day, are no longer mat
ters of the future but should be taken
in hand instantly. The destructive
competition which trans-Oceanic coun-
tries are carrying on in part at present
and which is in part to be expected in
the immediate future, requires prompt
and thorough counteracting measures
if the vital interests of the people of
Europe are not to be gravely compro-
missed.
I'VE must fight shoulder to shoulder
against a common danger and array
ourselves for the struggle with all the
means at our disposal. Just as the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries were
absorbed by religious wars, just as the
eighteenth century was marked by the
triumph of liberal ideas and just as the
nineteenth century has been notable for
the appearance of great nations of ma
tionality, so will the twentieth century
be for Europe a period marked by a
struggle for existence in the COM
mercIal sphere. European nations
must close ranks in order to success
fully defend their existence as first in
the line of competition.2

will be placed on trial for the second
time tomorrow for the murder of Will
liam Guldensuppe. All is in readiness
for the new hearing. Thorn and Mrs.
Mack will both appear on the stand.
An important witness not subpoenaed
in the first trial will be Constantine
Keehn, a barber who worked with
Thorn. Upon this testimony the state
will base the argument that it was
Thorn and not Mrs. Mack who planned
and committed the crime. Thorn's tes-
timony will be equal to a plea of being
an accessory after the fact. His part in
the murder, he will declare, was merely
to aid Mr.. Mack in disposing of the re-
mains and protecting her by silence,
claiming that the woman did the mur-

ception of two buildings on the Swan
ston street front, were destroyed with
in three hours The burned section in
cluded many Of the largest business

There seems little question now but
that Toledo will be In the Western Lea

the team with Toledo players. and the
other Western League cities are anxious
that such n move be made. But Strobel

season. He asked for a berth In the
Western League last year, but was turn
ed down. Now, with an elegant new
park In the heart Of the city, and beau-
tiful park on the lake shore for Sunday
games, Toledo presents base ball advan-
taGes that the Western League magnates
are not slow to appreciate. There Is
much talk of Columbus not being In the
Western League next year. But with
the so cent and one dollar excursions that
usually run in the summer between the
two cities, Il Is thought Columbus would
be better city With Toledo In the cir
cult. Then again, with the rivalry that
always exists between Detroit and Tole-
do when they were both In the same
league. the lake and railroad excursions
between the two points would be the
means OF Increasing the attendance In
both cities. The Western League man
