murdered, on doorstep in Brooklyn is today

The house at No. 146 Ashland Place Is occupied
by the family Of Albert Elder. Last night their
servant, Maggie Hedderman. was out calling.
She returned shortly before midnight with
Robert Campbell as an escort
While the woman was getting her key out Of
her pocket, Campbell began to poke with his cane
at bundle he could just distinguish on the step.
II felt soft. and striking match he bent down
and threw back the old piece of cloth skirt that
covered 1t. There ne saw the two infants. side by
side.
Miss Hedderrnan and her companion hurried
down the street until they met Policeman Sieg-
gems. OF the Bergen Street Station Him they told
OF their CHASTITY and. and he took the bodies
to the station house.
The bodies were badly dscomposed but a
cursory examination showed that the little ones
had come living into the world. and that death

marks on their necsk that might have been
caused by blows by the fingers Of some one

In conclusion he appealed to the chamber
not to sanction the prosecution of Senor

parliamentary immunity was a valuable
privilege and was worthy of respect, but
the inviolability OF the crewn needed TO

immunity only extended TO what was

The procession Of the King was led
by the General Of the vanguard, su-
perbly dressed, supported by retain
ers on his led pony and followed by
crowds OF diguitaries, each with his
train, soldiers, men carrying aloft
frames of arrows reaching nearly
across the road, and huge flags OF silk
brocade surmounted by plumes of
pheasants; servants in rows of hun
bred in the most delicate shades of
blue, green, or mauve silk gauze over
white; halberdiers, grandees, each
with retinue OF banner men, carry
ing yellow and blue silk flags emblaz-
oned; cavalrymen In imitation gold
helmets and medieval aymor, and
tiger hunters wearing coarse felt black
hats with conical crowns and dark
blue coats, trailing long guns.
With scarcely pause followed the
President Of the Foreign Office, high
above the crowd on a mOnocycle, a
black wheel supporting on two up
rights a black platform carrying a
black chair decorated with a leopard
skin, the occupant of which was car
ried by eight men st a height OF eight
feet from the ground. After
this, borne high aloft by forty bear
ers clothed in red, in q superb chair
OF red lacquer, richly tasseled and
canopied, and with wings TO keep of
the sun, came the King, whose pale,
languid face never changed its ex
preston, as he passed with all the

where they are kept IN the strictest

achieved for themselves and have been
permitted by their men 10 attain
freedom Of life aud action that has no
