The in- terviow was prompted by the emperor of Austria, who is personally interested in the matter. The recent speech of Count Kal- uoky was the starting point of diplomatio action to secuve this desired reconciliation. Austris, it is understood, asks the pope to agreo to the participation of Catbolics 10 the Italan parliamentary elections and a modification of the present favorable atti- tude of the holy see toward France. In return for this Austria wants Italy to change her inimical attitude toward the vatican to one of more friendly character and to put an end to the_religious persecution of the Catholics. AuStria has a triple end in ut Better view: To save the triple alliance from discredit in the Catholic world, to prevent the vatican from gowg over to the side of France and 10 arrest tho radical nfovement in Italy, which might n time threaten the position of the monarchy. Ihe Italian court and governitent havo sig- nified their approval of rapprochement on the lines laid down. King Humbert and the Italian ministers, however, insist that the Catholics should first open the way to & satisfactory arranee- ment by participation at the polis. Ocher- wise nothing can bo done. The interview with the pope lasted an hour and a hulf. The pope promised to consider the arrangement proposed. Doubtless he will wait with a view to discovering the rea- son of these overtures of the Austrian court. Tvis already known that Austria, supported by .Germany, will endeavor to bring about the election of Cardinal Vaunnutelli as Leo XIID's successor to the ?onl(flull throne, while Mgr. Galimberti would be his secre- tary of state. It 1s believed in vatican cir- cles that tho pope, while acceptiug & promise and concessions, will not_yield to the de- mands of Austria and Italy, but will continue 10 maintain his attitude of reserve, awaiting more favorable time. The holy see is much pleased with the reports received from America and Arcnbishop Ireland's attitude in regard to tho educational question in the United States. ————— Ready for Service, New Yonrk, Jan, 26.—Ever since the be- ginning of the Chilian controversy there have been numerous applications for eolistment at the Brooklyn navy vard, but since the de- termined war talk of the past week there has been a noticeable increase in the number of youug volunteors who loiter around the York street gate.

Ex-Sherlff John F, Boyd's Death at Hls Home Last Night, Ex-Sheriff John F, Boyd died very sud- cenly at his home, 1202 Park suenue, about 9 o'clock last night, after an illuess of but a few hours. He was on the stroets Monday but went home about 4 o'clock in the after- noon complaining that he exporienced great Aifculty in breathing. He called a phy: cian and received treatment, after whnich he rested fairly well and was up as usual yes- terday morning. Avout 6 o'clock yesterday evening Mr, Boyd's bmllhhlr again became dificult flually resuited in the bursting of a blood vessel, causing unconscious, condition be passed away. His death, when annourced on the street at 9 o'clock, was & great surprise and his frienas At first they regarded the fact as & rumor, as Mr. Boyd haa peen seen on the streets in the afternoon and appeared, as usual, iu the best of health, Oune of his very intimate friends who had been 1n business with him was ava card party, when a messenger came in and solemuly remarked : “You are wanted at Mr. Boyd's house; he is deaa.” This fell like a thunderbolt. A haund full of cards wore dropved as if they were fire, The faces of those who knew Mr. Boyd wrned pale. Sileace reigned until someone remarked that it must be & mistake, as Mr, Boyd was on the streets in the afternoon. He was not sick. He had received no injury. He hao not been murdered. How could he be deadt e suddenly dropped dead at home," sald the informant. “It is supposed that the trouble was apoplexy.” Many of bis intimate acquaintances called at Mr. Boyd's home on Park avenue as soon as they learned of the sad affair, in which John . Boyd was born in Brookfield Muss., Scplember 10, 154, aud, after an educution 1u the common 'sehools of Lis native village, came o Omal 1865 and began 1ife for himself as a cattle dealer, & business which he followea for four- years, Naturally bright, he THE OMAHA DAILY B confined to tho smoking of some of | mastered 4 the details of [ yhis busi- ness, learned the wanta of, shippers and oattle dealers and was chosen;in 1579 to con struct the stock yards in Council Blaffs. When this work was done :\Kn‘ Boyd was made suporintendent of the yArds, and man- aged them until 1884, when ha‘Wwas employed by the same company 10 ervest the stock vards of South Omatia, of which he was made superintendent at their, completion, Taking charge of tho yards from the day of their oneniug, Mr. Boyd saw tho stock in- dustry in South Omaha grow from nothing 1o a position of tnird place in the worla's live stock markets, J In May, 1887, Mr. Boyd wav elocted as councilman-at-large from the Seventh wara and sorved. under the terms of the new city charter, until Junuary 1, 1800. in 1880 Mr Boyd was nominated for sheriff of Douglas county on the democratic ticket and was elected. He servea one term and was renominated, but was defeated atthe last eiection by George A. Bennett. the present sheriff. During bis term of office as sheriff occurred tho brutal wurder of Allan and Dorothy Jones for which Ed Neal was hanged on Octobter 9, Iast, Mr. Boyd acting as executioner, the exciting scenes of the day being followed that night by the lynch ing of the negro Smith, charged with having assaulted a little girl. Mr. Boyd was an_exceptionaily genial and courtoous man, and few men in Umaha had more or warmer personal [riends, The arrangements for the funeral are not comuleted, and the time will not be decided upou till word is received from reiatives in Messachusetts, 1t will not, however, bo held beforo Friday. It is quite probable that in- terment will Le made here, where two of the children of the deceased ate buried. Samoset association will attend the funeral in a body, and a meeting 1s called for this evening at headguarters in draer to perfect arrangements, > HIS VICTIMS. TRANG Story of a Serles of Awful Crimes Related by the Perpetrator, Viexsa, Jan. 26.—Tho sensational trial of Frank Schnelder and his wife, Rosalie Schneider, wns continued today and many new and startling facts in connection with the revolting crimes alleged to have beon committed by the couple were brought out during the proceedings. The prisoners aro charged with having murdered and robbed eight servant pirls, and the hideousness of the whole affair is intonsified by the additional charge made against Schueldor of having first outraged bis victims' bolore puting an end to their os. During the courso of tho trial yesterday Schueidor admitted that in two instances he was guilty of the charge of violat- ing the rls, and also admitted that he had killed one of the unfor- tunate servants. He endeavored to throw the guilt of the other murders on his wife, whom he accused of decoying the girls to their fate on the protense of giving them em- ployment in her residence. hese ch-r?es made by the husbana against his wife were the cause of an ex- citing scene by the guilty pair in the court room, both indulging in a violent exchango of accusations. Ghastly exhibits wero produced by the prosecution during the proceedings, in the shape of the skull ana hair of Rosalie Klein- rath, one of the murdered girls, and the torn and bloody clothing worn by ber at tho time of her death. The production of these evi- dences of a terrible crime caused a shudder to ran through the spactators aud had a visible effect upon Schneider. The sight of the gruesome objects seomed to uunerve him, and he finally broke down, and the prosecu- tion succeeded in gstting him to confess that he was guilty of murdering: Rosalie Klein- rath and the other unfortunates. Amid the most intense excitement the prisoner descrived in allits horrible details his method of strangling the poor girls who were lured to their death in bis jhoise. He said ho had uot employed chloroform iu u stance. His victims were always con when he attacked them, and ho was assisted in his horrible work by his wife. His wife, ho declared, used to hold the hands of the struegling girls while he grasped them by the neck und choked their Lives out. At this point Mrs. Schngider interruptea her husband by excitedly shouting: ‘1 am your fext victim; [ never tdok part 1n the crimes.” Medical evidence was. produced to show the great strength possessed by Schneider. "This testimony was brought out for the par- pose of showing that Schueider was so strong that hedid not ne:d the aid of his wife fo grip the throats of his victims and choke thetn to death. Schueider here volunteered to tell how the murders were committed, and _dramatically went through the blood-curdling perform- ance. He showed how he used to seize the strupeling vicims by the breast with his left hand and with his powerful right hand clutch them by the throat and thus strangle the poor creatures. In concluding his confession Schneider said that he had not killed the first woman he had outraged and robbed because he haa notat that time bad the practice in the method of strangling which he afterwards acquired. The case has created a great sen- sation and the court room was packed with spectators. LATEST FROM JAPAN, Fires and Earthquake and from the Occident.

She has oot been scen since 9:20 o'clock this morning, when she was sighted by the Rockaway life saviog tion. At that time ishe was signaling for assistance. This much was known late this afternoon, but sinco then the lookouts on the Long Is- land coast report that while the Webster was struggling in the teeth of a” fifty mile gale her hawser broke and became tangled in and about her propeller. Thus she wis at the mercy of @& terrific sea and, bobbing helplessly, she began drifting out to ses. The greater terror, however, was about the garbage scows, which had been towod out 1nto the ocean, us 1s the custom, to be dumped of their refuse. On these scows, it is said, thero wero at least sixty Italians, wiiose help is required in dumping the scows. These help- less cretures were seen by the outlooks to be moving about frantically, crazed no doubt with foar fu their terrible situation. ‘Went in Search of Assistance. ‘he tug boat H. S. Nichols, with two other scows, which had been discharged of gar- bage, anchored her tow and then started to the assistance of the Webster. Tho captain of the Nichols concluded, however, thut with bis own sachored scows in ex- treme danger and the chances of reaching the Webster against him he would do better 1o come up to the city at once to revort and secure help. So tho Nichols turned her nose cityward and steamod home in the breast of the gale. She would bave done better had she clung to her own scows on which, as on the already drifting out seaward scows with the Webster, there were about sixty human souls, most all [talians. Scarcely was the Nichols out of sight when her tow of scows were beaten from their anchorage by the tumult of furious seas, and with their buman freight were blown rapidly out tosea by the almost hur- ricane which was sweeping off the land. The first news of the grave happenings off the Long Island coast came up from the Reckaway outlooks to Commissioner Bren- nan of the street cleaning department. A dispatch stated that two steamboats, each with several scows in tow, had been sighted off Rockaway beach in the morning. Later, a second dispatch said that one of the steamboats with i's tow had disappeared off shore while the other had anchored her !fown under the peach and sailed for this city, Steamers Sent to the Rescue, Late this afternoon the statements con- tained in the dispatches were confirmed by the arrival at this ciy of the department's steamboat. Nichols, which re- orted that it and the Webster had cen blown out to Rockaway during this morning’s gale and that the Webster and its tows bad afterwards drifted out to sea and disappeared. The sixty Italian laborers em- ployed upon the scows of the department, the captain said, hud been left on the two scows which the Nickols had left atanchorin Gravesend bay. These men were in open scows 1n a high sea and a gale of wind. It was probable that any moment they might be blown or washed off the scows and drowned. The captain of the Nichols said that ho had been unable to res- cue the Italians because the waves and wiad were so high that it was impossible for him to approach tho scows without greatiy en- dangering nis own boat and them. The cap- tain did not know that already his tow had dragged 1ts anchors and was then plunging and drifting out to sca. Commissioner Brennan was at first dis- posed to send tho Nichols back for the [tal- fans. ' He decided, however, to send the Nichols ano another steamboat, the Dosoris, out to search for the Webster, as ot that time she was apt to be more in need of as- sistance than the Italians on the scows in Gravesend bay. This was done. The Nichols and Desoris are out searching for the Web- ster, It is not known how many [talian laborers are on the scows towed by the Webster, but it is thought that there must be at least as many as are on the scows in (iravesend bay, namely: sixty, besides the captain and crew of the Webster. These will, with the men on the Wobstor and those' on the scows, aggregate 125 men who, at last reports, were atthe mercy of the galo and heavy seas. It 1s thoughtthat these men areon the oben sea. About haif an hour after the Nichols and Desor1s had_storted on their search for the Webster and tow the new steamboat Munici- pal reported for orders. it was at once dis- patched to Gravesend bay to, if possible, take the sixty Italiaus from the scows erron- eously believed to be anchored there. s All Took the Oath, [Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon, Bounett.] Cano, Egypt, Jan, 26.—[New York Her- ald Cable—Special to ‘Tue Bgr.|—All the English officers in the Kgyptian service, in- cluding General Grenfell, this morning took the oath of allegiance to the new khedive, as did also the Egpytian troobs.
