The recent Baltimore tragedy is become a rather singular affair. The accused claims that he was too drunk to know what he did, but he is sure that he did not kill his wife. No motive has been shown for the deed, the couple, in fact, having been more than usually affectionate that evening. On the other hand the house shows no signs of having been entered by burglars. Lewis E. Masters of Baltimore, who was charged by @ coroner’s jury Monday night with hav- ing killed his wife, Elizabeth V. Masters, at their home, 2110 East Biddle street, in that city, early Sunday morning, reiterated yesterday that he is innocent of the murder of his wife. He was asked if he ever had any difficulty with his wife or ever struck her, “Never,” said he, “to the best of my knowledge and belief, because I loved her.” He was then asked this question: “Being very drunk Saturday night, as you have stated, you don’t know what you did while in that condition?" “No, I do not,” was the reply. “You do not know, then, whether you struck your wife while in a drunken stupor or not?” “I do not. If I did strike her it was while I was in the stupor. I don’t know what I did while in that condition,” Masters confirmed the statement that his little son said after the murder, “Poor mam- ma. Now papa will have to go to jail.” He continued: “My wife and child went upstairs to bed shortly after midnight Saturday, leaving me asleep in a chair in the dining room. 1 don’t know how 1 was wounded, but I awoke about 5 o’clock and found my face wet with blood. Upon looking in a glass in the din- ing room I found that I had several wounds. I went into the yard and washed the blood from my face and then called to my wife to come down. Receiving no reply, I went to her room and found her dead. As I drank heavily Saturday night, when I awoke I was in a stupor.” The accused said his wife had $17 or $18 in her possession just before her death. He usually gave her his money and she made purchases for their house. He stated that he was born in Cumber- land and went to Baltimore tn his infancy. He had been married twenty-two years, and his married life, he said, had been happy, and he knew of no enemies his wife had. Masters was sent to jail from the north- eastern police station yesterday morning. Before leaving the station the captain had a talk with the accused. Masters said he did not know how the murder was commit- ted, and he wept when put in the jail wagon. At the jail Masters was assigned to cell 23, on the second tier, right-hand side, known as “Murderers’ Row.” Before going to his cell Masters had a talk with his lawyer. Relatives of Masters state that his name ie Alexus L, Masters, and not Lewis EB. Masters, the name by which he is charged with the crime. He was commonly address- ed as Lewis, his middle name, and it was not generally known that his first name was Alexus. The funeral of Mrs. Masters took place yesterday morning from her home. The body was put in a vault at Baltimore ceme- the relatives of the family attending. People crowded in the vicinity of the house, and when the funeral procession reached the cemetery a large number of persons had collected there. -—-—-— +e —_____ SIDESHOW TO A BULL FIGHT. The Offer Now Made to the Champ? Pugilists. A strong syndicate of wealthy sporting men of Havana, Cuba, has just arranged for one of the biggest bull fights that ever took place on the Island of Cuba, and they have sent @ representative to Jacksonville, ¥ia., to Corbett and Mitchell and their managers, to arrange if possible for the appearance of these pugilists. ‘rhe envoy of the syndicate will offer big money for the appearance of either Cor- bett or Mitchell, or both, and he hopes to so arrange it that the bull fight and the pugilistic contests may take place on suc- ceeding days in the week following January 20. ‘The syndicate is said to have paid $23,000 in old Spain for two of the bull which are to fight, and both animals are now on their way from Madrid. Benjamin Hurtade,representing a wealthy sporting club of Havana, reached Jackson- ville yesterday and was introduced at the Duval Athletic Club. He came for the pur- pose of inducing Corbett and Mitchell to go to Havana. He arranged to meet Mitchell today with Manager Thompson, and will talk with Corbett on the subject as soon as Manager Brady returns from New York. ‘Traveling men coming into Jacksonville from all parts of Florida report that there is a growing feeling in sporting circles that Mitchell will win this fight with Corbett. ‘There is very little betting up to date, but what money is out is going about even on the two men. eee Carley Harris Held for Requisition. Henry Miller, alias Curley Harris, alias Henry Abrams, alias William Hagne, was held in $1,000 bail at Philadelphia yester- day to awalt requisition papers from Wash- ington, where he is wanted for a larceny committed in the spring of 1890. He is charged with stealing a gold watch, valued at $75, from Warren J. Collamer, and has been indicted for that offense. Harris said he had been trying to lead an honest life, and that as this offense was so old and the property had been restored he ought to be let off, but the commissioner had no dis- cretion in the matter. His Head Broke the Brick. John Bolton, colored, twenty-five years, 211 North 11th street, ’hiladelphia, got into an altercation yesterday near his residence with another colored man and was knocked down by a brick, which struck him on the head. The brick was broken into several pieces by the force of the blow, one piece striking Bolton on the right Jeg, causing a painful contusion. He was taken to the Hahnemann Hospital, where his injuries were attended to. cans SEIS Dr. C. W. Stegall, a prominent citizen of Thomasville, Ga., was stricken with paraly- sis and died last night. He was one of the largest cotton buyers in the state and was known all over the south. THE SOCIAL WORLD. Teas and Receptions as Forerunners of the Gay Season.

What was really a church sociable, but turned out to be a very delightful musicale and sociable combined, was held last even- ing at the Church of the Covenant. The program, and, in fact, all the arrangements, were devised by the social committee of the society of the church, and resulted in giv- ing a great deal of enjoyment to the large number who attended. In some respects the church sociable in this church is some- thing in the nature of an experiment. Last month one was given and proved to be so enjoyable that a hearty encore followed. ‘The musical portion of the evening was the first hour, when the people met in the main auditorium and lstened to a well-selected program rendered with skill and expression. Organ selections were played by Dr. Bisch- off and Mr. Toof, the organist of the church. Mrs. Shircliff, Mrs. Rheem and Mr. Clark sang solos, and the male quartet choir of the First Presbyterian Church ren- dered several selections. At the close of the concert, each number having been prefaced with a few words of introduction from the pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. Hamlin, those present went into the chapel, where the rest of the evening was devoted to social talk, and also tea,the latter being served by the ladies in one of the side rooms. The main room of the chapel was arranged as reception room, and was lighted with large parlor lamps. While no formal collection was taken up, yet on the tables about the room and in conven- fent nooks were plates for the reception of offerings of money to be used in the work of relieving the necessities of the poor. A party of young people of the Eastern High School were entertained last evening at an orange party given at their residence by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Griffith. The first ype was won by Miss Humphreys and Mr. Floyd, and the consolation prizes by Miss Potter and Mr. Gibson. The other amuse- ments. of the evening were the moving mis- tletoe, dancing, recitations and music. La- ter the company proceeded to the dining room for refreshments. Those present were: The Misses Humphreys, Mr. Griffith, Miss Deleplaine and Mr. Foust, Miss Le Hayne and Mr. Floyd, Miss Potter and Mr. Chap- pel and Mr. Hill, Miss Wright and Mr. Car- mody, Miss Hayes and Mr. Buckley of Bal- timore, Miss McCafferty and Mr. Hunter.

Northern Pacific Raflway Men Sur- prised by an Order of Court. A document was delivered into the hands of United States Marshal Danahower at St. Paul last evening, which may have the effect of deterring the engineers, conductors, trainmen and telegraph operat- ors of the Northern Pacific railroad from striking. It was issued by Judge Cald: of the United States circuit court, and effeet an injunction to keep the men striking: The one hundred and fifty St. Paul from the various an angry state of mind. At their ence yesterday afternoon they were by General Manager Kendrick of the ern Pacific that no modification January schedule could be given They claim that this was a great because they had been kept there since 18th to await the movements of Mr. drick, only to meet a rebuff. They also claim that the company’s tion in issuing through the courts such an order was the plainest possible indication that the demands of the men were seriously considered.

Effect of a Radical Victory on the U With Sweden. The London Times says that if the coming elections in Norway result in a large and militant radical majority the conservative ministry will be bound to retire. The king will find himself face to face with the ne- cessity of accepting the radical interpreta- tion of the act of union, thereby surrender- ing the unity in foreign policy, upon which the alliance of the two kingdoms consists, or of enforcing the Swedish reading of the act, against the manifest determination of the Norwegian people. Sweden, it appears, is prepared to use force. The Swedes, who were at first apa- thetic, have been roused to such a pitch of exasperation that it will take little to goad them to action. The king is confident of the support of the Swedes, and he will not surrender the Norwegian crown nor sacri- fice the union, which he believes to be in- dispensable to the safety of the prosperity of both Sweden and Norway. The first shot fired by Sweden will rally the Norwegian radicals and conservatives shoulder to shoulder in defense of their common nationality. Despite the superior- ity of her military resources, Sweden would find it a hard task to reduce Ni to subjection, and harder still to keep her in subjection. If the sentiment of the Swedes compels the king to unsheath the sword the European powers who are the sponsors of the union ought to intervene armed with a European mandate, as in 1814. Sweden might act within limits, to an ar- rangement for the avoidance of a war crisis. Opinion in Norway is, in the meantime, raised on only two issues—union and mon- archy or separation and a republic. But, among the contingencies, acute observers detect a third course—the creation of a throne in Norway, with Prince Waldemar, youngest son of the King of Denmark, as king. —_~+e+—____ FOUND A TRAMP BOTTLE. It Was Just in From a Voyage of 6,000 Miles. the Galveston News, and as Mr. Altman is one of those who go down to the sea in ships he is on the lookout for flotsam and jetsam at all times. So when, on Monday morning, he noticed a bottle on the beach at Bolivar, about thirty miles northeast from Galveston, he took it in his net, figur- atively speaking. It was just a common old glass bottle, the same as many. others which have done duty as holders of whisky, but this bottle held no whisky, nor did the corks show the marks of teeth or always uncorks a bottle with his teeth. The bottle was covered with barnacies and contained a circular printed in Ger- man, which stated that two bottles were set afloat from the P. and O. steamer Pe- tropolis of Hamburg, Capt. Th. Albert, at 6 o'clock a.m. on the 17th of May, 18¥1, in south latitude 2 degrees, 46 minutes, west longitude from Greenwich 31 degrees, 46 minutes. The Petropolis was then en route from Lisbon to Bahia. The finder of the bottle was requested to forward the circular to the hydrographic bu- reau at Hamburg, or to the nearest Ger- man consul, together with the time of its finding and whether the bottle contained no sand. The point at which the bottle was cast into the sea is about 1,300 miles east of Para and about 680 miles northeast of Bahia. Here the equatorial current sweeps along, following the trend of the coast of northern South America, the Isthmus of Panama, Mexico and the gulf states.

These tramp bottles might tell some interesting tales of travel could they speak. Would Abo! the Ten Comman4- ments. From the Leeds (England) Mercury.

Francis J. Dawes, the wealthy Chicago brewer, received word at New Orleans Sat- urday that his child was dying, and, char- tering an Illinois Central train, the tracks Were cleared and Mr. Dawes and his wife were whirled over the 1,000 miles at the rate of a mile a minute. He paid about 31,000 for the trip and broke all records be- tween New Orleans and Chicago, making the run in twenty-tive and a half hours. VICTOR SCHOELCHER DEAD.
