THE DUNKIRK STRIKE No Neoessity for Troops, the Men Assert. POISONED CREAM PUFFS IN RICHMOND. Preventing the Spread of the Typhus. BISHOP WIGGER'S CASE. AWAITING THE TROOPS. The Situation of the Strike at Dunkirk, N. Y., Jan. 30.—A special to the Evening News from Dunkirk says: “Is Dunkirk to be turned into another Home- stead?” is the question being asked by every- body today,and the consensus of opinion is that the presence of troops here is not necessary, for the present at least. So far none have arrived. Just why the troops were called for is not clear to the majority of people, as the strikers have not any demonstrations. President Hineman of the Brooks locomotive works says that bis notice to the sheriff that he feared an outhregk was simply precautionary measure, snd he was notaware of the action the sheriff took. He sincerely boped the emergency might not arise where troops would be need The action of the Brooks people in asking for troops isa mystery to the strikers. WHAT THE STRIKERS SAY. ‘One of the leaders of the men said today: “We are not a mob; the majority of the boilermen have brains. We are not fools to make a riot here. We think the call for the you would not find any class of men who would turn in to preserve order quicker than would the boiler makers. If the Brooks Com- pany think their property is in danger from us they are mistaken. They seem to think we are a gang of men plotting to commit violence, for they have sent Pinkerton spies among us. We@aught one of them and he ad- mitted he was a §j are not as bad as some people seem to think. We are after our rights, but are not going to become rioters. Other strikers expressed the same views re- garding the eall for troops. They say as far as they ar@ concerned even the enrollment of emen was entirely unnecessary. PROVIDING FOR TROOPS. A member of Gen. Doyle's staff was here this morning in conference with Mayor Gould. The object of his visit is 40 provide quarters and provisions for any troops that may be sent here. Today the union depot, only 150 yards from the gates of the Brooks works, is crowded with men. A rush is made for all incoming trains, which are inspected as soon and even before they stop. ‘The enst end of the yards, near the rear of the Brooks | works, where the trains have stopped twice to unload an invoice of workmen, quiet patrols of strikers are seen. It is evident the Brooks people cannot vun another lot of men into the without the strikers knowing it. Ail is quiet at the Brooks works. The special police are on duty and watebful for any move- ment that means trouble. CAUSE OF THE STRIKE. ‘The strike was caused by the riveters in the boiler department refusing to work under two contractors named Kane and McNamara, alleg- ing inhuman treatment on the part of the con- tractors. They left the works without stating their grievances, which were printed after- ward. The lack of boilers made it necessary to lay off the men in the other departments, and now about 600 men are out of employment in consequence. The Brooks people engaged Philadelphia men to take the strikers’ places and brought them here Saturday by special train. The new men were hurried, i the works before the strikers could interfere. The new men are uartered inside the works and do not_go out- e the gates. Saturday President Hineman received private information that threats had been made against the works and against the employes snd asked the protection of Sheriff Jenner. That official at once appealed to Gen. Doyle at Buffalo for state troops in case they were needed. Axeaxy, N. Y., Jan. 30.—Neither Gov. | Flower or the adjatant general had received any communication from Gen. Doyle up to noon today in reference to the ordering of state troops to Dunkirk. ee CLEVELAND AND ANNEXATION. The Hawalian Commissioners Pleased With the Sentiments of the President-Elect. Sax Franctsco, Jan. 30.—The Examiner this morning prints the following interview: “I received today,” said Hawaiian Commis- sioner Castle, “a dispatch that satisfies us that President-elect Cleveland looks favorably upon oar proposal for annexation. Naturally, that has given great encouragement to us.” “If you are unable to come to an under- standing with the government at Washington will you go to England with your proposals?” “Our commissioner gives us no authority to go beyond the United States,” replied Mr. Cas- “If we cannot arrange terms with the United States government we will return home. Then if the island has to turn to England a commission will be sent, but we hope that it will never be necessary.” “How long will you remain at Washington?” “Until we learn definitely of the reception or rejection of our offers. Should President Harrison's administration not give us the answer we desire we will in all ility re- main until we can get another try. In other words, we will then wait for Mr. Cleveland to assume control and will resubmit our case to the new administration.” “You have stated that you have reassuring information concerning Mr. Cleveland's posi- tion in the i Can you give more definitely the nature of this assurance?” “Well, immediately = [red here I fag hag sonal telegram to Mr. tney asking fpince our matter before the President-elect learn how be would receive it. Today I re- ceived « reply from Mr. Whitney. I obviously cannot make public reply, it being in no sense an official or public docu- ment, I will say that it was most satisfactory to us. COMMENT OF THE LONDON EVENING PAPERS. Loxpox, Jan. 30.—The question of the pro- posed annexation of Hawaii by the United ‘States continues to be a prominent subject for 4 POISONED BY, CREAM PUFFS. Mrs. T. DeWitt Talmage and Others in Rich- mond Made Ii1. i Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Ricamoxp, Va., Jan. 80.—Richmond isin a fever of excitement this morning owing to the wholesale poisoning of several families in the city yesterday, among them Mrs. T. DeWitt Talaskge: ile of the Brooklyn diyineyand her unmarried daughter, who are ons visit to Mrs, Allan Donnan, a daughter of Dr. Talmage. Shortly after dinner yesterday Mr. Donnan was seized with a deathly illness and was soon fol- lowed by the rest of the including Mra Talmage and Mise Talmage. When the family physician arrived he pronounced it poisoning "Te develoved ‘thle rning that several othi it mor! it several other families were affected in a similar mhnner soon after eating their dinner, and. it is ascertained that all of the ‘ate cream puffs at the meal. None of the parties have so far died, and many of them are out of danger. Mrs. Tal: mage and her daughter are much better, but Mr. Donnan is still quite ill. The authorities will investigate the matter. + THE TYPHUS IN NEW YORK. Precautions Being Taken to Prevent Its Spread. ‘New Yor«, Jan. 90.—There are now twenty- four patients in the tents’ on the lawn at Bellevue Hospital who are thus isolated, because it is believed they may develop typhus fever. No other cases of typhus had developed among these suspects up to 10 o'clock this morning. . Cases may develop at any time, however, and two men are de on gnard about the grounds with orders to prevent any one approaching the tents, These patients are under the charge of Dr. George F. Blake, one of the physicians of the board of health, who is practically under quarantine himself. Furthermore, tae authorities at Bellevue Hospital have taken other precautions to pre- vent a spread of the disease. ‘The patients in wards 2, 6,17, 25 and 26, where typhus cases have developed, have been quarantined and no visitors are permitted to enter the wards. The rumor that the hospital itself had been placed in quarantine by the health department is with- out any foundation. Dr. Joseph D. Bryant said today: “There is no necessity for resorting to an extreme mens- ure of that kind. The hospital is in good con- dition and we can receive all patients that apply wghout using any of these quarantined wards “Every precaution is taken and as soon as any patient develops sfmptoms of the dis- ease he is removed to the tents, where a still closer wateh is kept. There is great excitement over the fact that a typhus fever case was found this morning a tenement containing twenty-two families at 338 East 9th streot. George Heimert, forty-six years old, is the patient. He was taken to North Brother Island. Heimert was a patient in the alcoholic ward at Bellevue Hos- pital, and while there mingled with men who afterward developed typhu: — iF BISH IN FAVOR WIGGER. That Gentleman Says Mgr. Satolli Has Given His Decision. Newanx, N. J., Jan, 30.—Bishop Wigger was seen by a reporter at Seton Hall College this morning. He said: positively that he received ation from Mgr. Satolli announcing ision in the Killeen-Wigger case in his (the bishop's) favar. When asked ‘if there’ was any truth in the Washington dispatch: saying that no decision had been made the bishop replied: “Thave only to say as I did through Father Marshall yesterday that I have received a letter from Mgr. Satolli, in Latin, which tells me that ‘the case has been settled in my jor. It covers all of the charges against me as far as I know. I don't know whether the Monsignor speaks English or not, bat I know him to be a very learned man. I was convinced of that when I heard him deliver an address in Latin at the opening of the Catholic University in Washington. “Out of courtesy to Mgr. Satolli I cannot give any portion of the letter to the public. Of course I was much pleased at the result of the trial. I did not fear the result, however, asIknew that the action I took in closing St. Thomas’ Church was perfectly right.” >. OW IN PRISON. HE IS A Schoolmaster Who Sent an Uncomfortable Letter Through the Mail. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Hanren's Ferny. W. Va., Jan. 30.—James H. Pine, a school teacher, who has resided here a number of years, was arrested 9 week ago and taken to Parkersburg, where he was tried in the United States court for violat- ing the postal laws. Some months ago he had known Miss Alstadt, a handsome young Indy residing in the town, and would have be- come her husband had she been willing. But she was not willing, and so he was left to go it aione or look for another. The young lady went to Tipton, Mo., where she met a young lawyer. Like the schoof teacher he fell in love with the pretty girl,and with better success, ‘The schoolmaster was not going to give up without a struggle, and he proceeded to address a letter to his successful competitor for the hand of the fair one. The letter contained something other than 1s found m the good book and the the lawyer, still true to the fair one, turned the letter over to the authorities. Then followed the teacher's arrest and trial, and he was promptly convieted. The lawyer not only has the girl of his choice, but the schoolmaster goes to the Moundsville prison for fourteen months in addition to paying #100 fine. —— FIRE SCATTERED FAR AND WIDE. Explosion of a Fireworks Factory in the Suburbs of Cincinnati. Crxcrxxati, Jan. 30.—A terrific explosion occurred this morning gy the Deihl flreworks plant in Reading, a suburban village eleven miles from this city. The charging house was completely shattered and blazing timbers shot into the air, setting fire to the surrounding buildings. Henry Horn, aged eighteen, was instantly killed; “Gus, Gerwin, twenty-four, fatally in- jured; Ollie White and Tillie Matt, both of them about eighteen years old, were seriously burned. Many others were more or less injured. The cause of the explosion is not known.

Further Decline in Whisky Trust—An Act- ive Market. ‘Naw Yorx, Jan. 30.—Owing to the develop- ments disclosed at the meeting of the whisky trust on Saturday the general expectation of a further break in the price of the certificates led to a large crowd and considerable excitement at the opening of business this morning. ‘The first prices showed a loss of 4 per cent from Satur- day's close, and on extremely heavy transac- tions 5 per cent more was taken from the price, the loss at 88 being 9 per cent. Supporting or- ders, rather ostentatiously displayed, rallied the stock promptly, however, and it again reached 43, retiring at over 1 per cent from that point in ‘the late dealings. Sugar was. also very active, but displayed a strong tone, and opening up 1 at 128%; rose to 13034. There was little left of the excitement in tobacco, and after touching 118 again it fluctuated ‘within fractional limits. Chicago gas, however, was preesed for sale, and opening down 134 per cent at 99 it retired at 89. Among railroad stocks there was little or no feature, quiet business and small fluctuations being the rule, though some activity in St. Paul, Union Pacific, Rock Island and Burlington was noted, withont material change in their prices, though the break in distillers created a de- clining tendency in the early dealings. Western Union was a weak point, opening down 3 at 98:4 and retiring 1 per cent further, with ‘a re- covery to something above the opening p At Hl o’clock the market was rather quiet and firm at close to opening prices. Trading in stocks after 11 o'clock was narrow, but Reading, New England and the industrials showed considerable animation,with a drodping tendency, and New England at 46! showed a loss of 1); per cent. ‘The industrials, especially ported and sugar reached slightly higher prices. The re- muinder of ‘the market was entirely without feature, and at noon it was comparatively quiet Dut firmer, generally at something below tbe opening figures. Money on call was easy at 1a per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4\a6.

Loxpox, Jan. 39.—A sensation has been caused by the release, by order of the home office, of Margurite Dixblanc, the Park lane murderess, who was convicted in 1872 of the atrocious murder of her mistress, Madame Riel, STORY oF AN ATROcIOvS cae. ‘The crime was discovered on April 6. 1872. Madam Kial's daughter, who was e member of the French company then performing at the St. James Theater, arrived from Paris early on that morning, and on present. ing herself at No. 13 Park lane was informed thst her mother wasabsent. It was soon di covered that certain doors were locked and the keys were missing aud that the cook could not be found. .Phis led to an examination of the house, when the dead body of Madame Riel was found in the pantry, opened with duplicate keys in the pos- session of the young lady. Her death appeared tohave been caused by strangulation, as the tightened rope was still” around ~ her neck, though there were marks of ex- treme violence on other paris of the body. An examination of the safe showed tbat the murder had been accompanied by the rob- Dery of gold, bauk notes, French bonds and railway shgres, Suspicion at onco fixed upon the cook, Ma gurite Dixblanc, a Belgian by birth, vut' some time resident in Verdun and in Paris for a short period during the reign of the commune. She was known to have been in the house alone with her mistress on the forenoon of Sun- wy, the 7th, left it stealthily m the evening, aid’was ‘traced asa passenger to Paris by the continental mail train. ‘A further clue to her movements there was soon obtained by a letter written a day before the murder, wherein Dixblanc indicated to the Sieur Dubois that she expected to be in Paris soon, Ithad been misdirected to Rue Saint Denis instead of Rue Du Port St. Denis, and was in ordinary course opened by the post office authorities for the purpose of being returned to the writer. On the detectives presenting themselves at the house of Dubois, Dixblanc was found en- gaged in the task of measuring out charcoal and ing at the same time, it is said, of the hor- rors of the Park lane murder, She sought to evade apprehension for a brief period, but in the énd confessed having committed the crime, and even gave an account of the manner in which it was accomplished in the dust bin, but I could not. I then took it by the feet, but being unable to drag it, I got a cord and it around her waist, Finding the boay bent double I put it‘round her neck. At this moment the housemaid, who was out on an.errand, knocked at the door. I sent her away for beer.

For nearly two hours before the arrival of the funeral party people began to gather in throngs at the cemetery. Women and children formed the greater part of the crowd that came trooping down the muddy cemetery roads, through the walks and over the terraces. ‘hey peered curiously into the open grave, standing around it and eyemg the preparations for interment with ‘morbid curiosity. As the crowd in- creased there was not room enough in the immediate vicinity of the grave and the ople lined the terraces that rose above the Fiaine burying lot, where they stood in the sloppy mud. Women with young babies in their arms Were among the crowd, and young and old seeméd moved by the same morbid spirit. A number of men with photographic cameras eecured advantageous positions oveglooking the scene of interment. ‘THE BLAINE BURYING Lor. ‘The Blaine burying lot is in the extreme east- ern end of the cemetery, overlooking Kock Creek. In front of the lot is a circular mound and aronnd that runs a narrow pathway on the verge of the hill, which at this point drops abruptly to the creek.

The semblance of death was lost in the | elaborate arrangement of the flowers, that, | grouped above and around the casket, formed a monument of fragrance and beauty. A drapery \of smilax and garlands hung from the arch and half hid the organ pipes. The reading desk was enshrined in blossoms. Two tall and far-spreading ‘ago palms reached highest of all. The railing and curtain around the organ loft wasa band of ferns and asparagus studded over with clusters of pink carnations, harciseus blooms and Japanese lilies, A hedge of low palms and foliage plants on the edge of the steps and in front of the rending desk formed the back- ground for the almost numberless floral tokens sent by friends. There were more of them ‘than could be arranged there, and these in cTosSER and wreaths: were hung on the chandeliers, over and around the doorways, against the first rows of pews and added color and fragrance in every direction. A MAGNIFICENT FLORAL RUG. The casket rested on « maguificert floral rug, adesign executed by Mrs. Emmons Biaine's orde:, and in itself the most striking piece of funeral ornamentation ever seen in this city. This rug was formed of the finest roses, the foundation in pale colors, but various parts of the pattern worked out in American beauty roses of a vivid hue. It was all sprayed over with lilies of the valley and white hyacinths, The border was of purple and white violets. The rag was nine feet six inches by five feet four incnes. ‘The two fioral pedestals on which the casket rested were of pure white and yellow roses, Mrs. Blaine sent also two wreaths of pink and red roses. Above the casket rested the wreath sent by President Harrison and the flowers sent by the members of the Blaine family, The casket had a gariand of violets and lilies of the valley completely girdling it. It was sent by Mrs. Eugene Hale. The flowers lnid by James G. Blaine on the lid which hid forever from his view the face of his father was a wreath of violets. A bunch of violet ribbon was tied on one side. The enormous wreath of roses sent by the diplomatic corps rested on an easel to the left of the casket. It was formed entirely of roses and lilies of the valley. A great cluster of the Jong-stemmed roses was tied on one side with a bunch of dead white ribbon. On one streamer the words “The Diplomatic Corps” was stamped in gilt and on another was the date. A SUIP OF STATE.
