That He Acted Entirely on His own
Responsibility, But II Is Believed
His Act Was the Result Of "a wide

Murder of other Royulists.
Vienna, Sept. 12.-The plans for the
funeral of the late Empress Elizabeth,
who was assassinated by an anarchist
on Saturday at Geneva, contemplate
bringing the remains to Vienna next
Thursday, a lying-in-state on Friday,
and the obsequies of interment on Sat-
urday.
The assassin is Lusgi Lulgini, a ma
tive Of Italy and an eX-Italian soldier.
He had been working as a stone mason
in this vicinity. and last month he took
the preliminary steps to become a
naturalized Swiss. His application
papers, however, he withdrew last
Monday. The italian records show that
Luigini was an illegitimate child and
took his mothers name. He has been
twice arrested as a defaulter from mil
itary service.
The foul crime is said to be the out
come of an anarchistic conspiracy,
which cOmprehended the murder of
other sovereigns, including the emperor
of Austria. The desperate welded a
three sided file, very slender and sharp.
The weapon inflicted at one single
blow a mortal wound, the keen instru-

derer committed his atrocious crime.
After having been stabbed the empress
arose and walked on board the steamer,
where she fell, falntlng. The captain
did not wish to put off from the quay,
but did so at the request of the EN-
press and her suite, there being no ap-
prehensiOn that she was seriously hurt.
The steamer was turned back before
reaching the open lake, and the en-
press, unconscious, was carried to the
hotel on a stretcher. Doctors and
priests We're Immediately summoned,
and a telegram was sent to Emperor
Francis Joseph. Efforts to revive her
majesty were unavailing, and she ex-
pired at o'clock
After striking the blow the assassin
ran along the Rue des Alpes, with the
evident intention of entering the
Square des Alpes, but before reaching
1t he was seized by two cabmen who
had witnessed the crime. They handed
him over to a boatman and a gendarme,
who conveyed him to the police sta
tion. The prisoner made no resistance.
He even sang as he walked along, say
ing: II did it," and "She must be
dead" At the police station he de-
clared that he was Starving an
archist with no hatred for the poor,
but only for the rich" Throughout
the examination Of the assassin his de-
meanor was one of revolving cynicism
He frankly congratulated himself upon
the success of his crime. He said: Il
am an anarchist, but l belong to no
committee. I acted on my own initia-
tive. Let them do as they like with
me. That Is my strength" He added
that he regretted that the death pen
atty does not exist In the canton where
the tragedy occurred.
The autopsy on the body Of the mur-
dered empress took place Yesterday. II
showed that both the lung and heart
were pierced by the assassin's dagger
The examination showed an almost
imperceptible wound, the file having
penetrated the heart and not causing
exterior bleeding.

passage of a house on the Rue des
Alpes has been identified by the as
sassin as the weapon he used.

The Grand Jury reported having passed
upon 100 bills of indictment of which IS
we're returned as true bills and 20 as ignored
bills. OF the latter, the costs in II were
placed on the prosecutors and in four on the
county. The county prison was visited and
the discipline and management were found
good. Some minor repairs are needed about
the building. The Almshouse was also
found in good shape except that the ice house
and slaughter house should be replaced by
new structures. A better water supply is
also needed as are also fire escapes on the
main building. The phosphate factory in
North Mannheim township just south of
POttsyille is declared nuisance and should
be moved further away from the public road.
The Grand Jury regretted its inability to
deal out costs, and impose the same in many
cases upon the Justices of the Peace return

secured to check it,

Empress Elizabeth was about return
ing TO Caux, France, when she was
murdered. Her suite had proceeded
her by train, leaving with her only her
maid Of honor. Countess Szapary. and
q man servant.
The last words Of the empress were
addressed to the attendants on the
steamer. Recovering consciousness for
the moment, she feeby asked what
had happened.
The emperor's fOrtltude is the topic
OF universal admiration He Is bearing
up manfully despite the fearful shock,
which in view Of his age, had inspired
the gravest apprehension. ALTHOUGH at
first stunned and slightly hysterical.
he soon regalned his self control, and
displayed remarkable calmness. Oc-
casionally, however, completely over
powered by his grief, he moaned pit
eously repeatedly sobbing the name
of the empress. Addressing Prince Won
Liechtenstein, chief marshal Of the i'm
perial household, he exclaimed:
"It Is inconceivable how a man could
lift his hand against one who never in
her life injured anybody, who did moth
Ing but good" Then he moaned:
Nothing is spared to me in this
world" He managed to sleep several
hours Saturday night and said yester-
day he felt comparatively well, dis

ants to display solicitude for his health
