MYSTERIOUS DRAMA IN REAL LIFE. • The Paris correspondent of the Standard writes: —A mysterious drama, said to have been enacted at Chatou, is now the talk of the town. It appears that the Proctireur of the Republic at Versailles received the other day a letter from Paris, in which a M. R— stated that three days previously a young Polish gentleman, named Renowitz, had been killed by a woman at the bridge of Chatou. On the off-page of the letter was written in a feminine hand—" I, the undersigned, certify that the facts stated in this letter are rigorously exact. Signed, B. De H—, Rue de —, Saint Germain." The names, for evident reasons, are not yet given. M. de Royer, the substitute of the Procureur, and M. Lamoinet, Examining Judge, at once left for St. Germain, and repaired to the house of Mdlle. de H—. who lives there with her family. Mdlle. de H— is described as young, elegant, and good-looking, but masculine and eccentric in her tastes. In answer to the questions put to her, she related the alleged drama as follows: —" On Saturday last I received a letter signed R—. The writer said he was one of the best friends of & painter named Regalewski, who, four years ago, killed himself out of love for me. R— said he desired to have some information colleen:ring his deceased friend. I went to the rendezvous indicated, which was on the banks of the Seine at Chatou, where I met two gentlemen, one of them, Monsieur R—, who began to insult and threaten me. Fearing to be attacked, I took a revolver out of my pocket, which I always carry on me, and fired it. The companion of B— uttered a loud cry and fell to the ground. I then ran away, and got home safe. On Monday I received another letter from who summoned me to a rendezvous in the Galeria d'Orleans, at the Palais-Royal, Paris. I went, and R— made me get into a cab, and drove me to a house which I could not indicate. Arrived there, he told me that the friend I fired at was a young Pole named Renowitz. Such, gentlemen, Is the truth of the whole affair. Who R and his friend Renowitz are, I know net; I never saw them before the fatal day." Mlle. de H has been detained in custody. She is 23 years old. Her father is a baron.  The death is announced of General Count Both. war, chief of the staff of the Bavarian army.  Two of the survivors from the Prinoess Alice have suggested that they, in conjunction with other survivors, should be allowed to erect a stained window in the Woolwich Union chapel, as a thank offering for preservation, and as a slight memento of the kindness which they exierienced from the officers in the Plumstead Infirmary. The parish guardians are favourable to the idea.  RDER NE/B DllNDALlC.—lntelligence of a murder, supposed to have been committed by a lunatic, was received a few days ago at Dundalk. The attention of a traveller passing along the high road was attracted by pools of blood. He gave information to the Kiloarry police, who tracked them to the garden of a house occupied by a man named Byrne, formerly confined in an asylum. Under a heap of manure they found the body of a man grdatly mangled, but recognised as James Griffin, who had been seen talking to Byrne prey-ion/IY.
