Joy Fires Ave Burning on Every xomL tain in the Empire. i BE'RLIAN, March 31.—Telegrams a; pouring in from all parts of the empirg announcing that the Bismarckian feted. have been commenced with great spirit. There was a specially interesting gatherin; at the National Monument of Germany in the Niederwald, where thousands traveled from all parts of the Rhineland. Among those present were representatives from thirty-six cities in the Rhenish district. Professor Auteken of Giessen University, delivered an oration at the footof the monument. In Munich, the Bavarian capital, a musicale in honor of ceasic was given in the Odeon, g o eon. Throughout Germany to-night joy fires are buw peaks and hills from the Baltic and mountain North Sea and to the Swiss and Austrian fron- tiers on the south, from the Russian fron- tier on the east to the frontiers of France, Belgium and the Netherlands on the west. 4 Never before in the history of the empire has there been such a hearty and spon- taneous exhibition of love. To-morrow all the schools and most of the civil and state offices will be ciosed in honor of him to whom the empire owes its existence. on the high Will Name the Warship Bismarck. LONDON, April 1L—A dispatch from Berlin to the Standard says that Emperor William intends to personally christen the new German warship Bismarck. The dis- patch adds ‘that the Prince looks much better and younger that he did after his illness at Kissingen in 1893. He seems ather stimulated than wearied by rthday cel ebration.

Owing to the shallow water in the yicinity of Trinity ledge it is doubtful if a tg ean reach her and there is also a great danger of the vessel being washed off by the tide. X About twenty feet of the schooners masts were out of the water and some of the men were clinging to them, and it is feared that the unfortunate men will per- ish before a vessel can reach them.

Ample Time Will Be Allowed for Discussion of Im- portant Questions. TO PREPARE FOR CAMPAIGN. All Citizens Are Invited to Unite With the Ranks of the Grand Old Party. CHICAGO, Irn, March 31.—President racy and Secretary Humphrey of the Re- National League to-day issued the following call for the annual conven- tion of the league: To the Republican State Leagues, league clubs and all Republicans: | In compliance with a provision of the | constitution of the Republican National League, establishing an annunal conven- | tion, and in accordance with the instruc- | tions of the last national convention at Denver, the eighth annual convention of the Republican National League of the United States is hereby called to meet in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, Wednesday, | June 19, 1895, at 10 s »., and continue in ssion until its business is completed. It is proposed to take three days for this | convention so that there may be ample | time for a full discussion on the questions 1 "of special interest to the party at the time. | The ratio of representation will be six delegates at large from each State and Ter- ritory, four from each Congressional Dis- trict, and one from each college Republican club in the United States represented in the American Republican College League nd Rapids, Mich., April 5, 1895. The following are ex-officio delegates: | The president, secretary and treasurer of the league, one vice-president and one ex- ecutive member of the national organiza- tion from each State and Territory, and the president and secretary of each State and Territory league, making four ex- officio delegates from each. This gives each State practically ten delegates at large in addition to the four from each Congressional district. The total repre- sentation will exceed 2000 delegates, with | an equal number of alternatives. The business of the meeting will include reports from the officers of the league, the | election of officers, vice-presidents and members of the executive committee for the ensuing year, the designation of the | time and place for the next national league | convention, a general ssion of league club work, party policies and organization, the formation of & plan of campaign with special reference to the presidential year, and a consideration of such other ques- tions as the convention may deem proper, he utter failure of the Democratic ad- ministration in its management of both foreign and dome: affairs has created national distrust, general paralysis in busi- ness, and driven capital from the facteries and labor into the streets, reduced the reve- nues of the Government and increased its bond indebtedness. This humiliating con- dition of national misfortune has elimin- ated party lines somewhat, as indicated by the unprecedented landslide of 1894, which brought large numbers of protection Dem- ocrats and Populists into the Republican ranks. These new allies will find ample room and welcome on the Republican plat- form. The Republican party can stand on its record. It has kept faith with the people of the United States and has protected all their interests, both foreign and domestic. It has demonstrated its ability to manage the affairs of the Government successfully, both in war and in peace. We believe the United States now recognizes its ability to grapple with and settle satisfactorily all the great questions of the day and to meet any emergency that may arise. Itis the privilege of the league now as heretofore Yo be first in the field to prepare the way for the next campaign. It isthe only political organization that has kept its forces constantly at work since 1887, and with the coming convention proposes to begin at once a campaign of organiza- tion and education throughont the United States on a platform broad enough to at- tract from all parties the men who believe that the principles, policies and aspirations of the Republican party are best for the people of the United States. All voters in the United States in sympathy with the above are cordially invited to join the Re- publican League clubs, and through the clubs and State leagues participate in the lection of delegates to the National League convention at Cleveland. ‘We appeal to the young men of the coun- try, particularly the first voters, to take advantage of the league plan of organiza- tion and form young men’s clubs with special reference to the campaign of 1896. Special railroad rates have been secured for the convention, and information con- cerning the same will be supplied by the various State league officials, or direct from the headquarters.

The Times Building Damaged Printers Burned Out. CHICAGO, 1L, March 31.—The north- ern portion of the Times building, a five- story stone structure, was damaged $70,000 by fire this afternoon. At the early stage and ‘of the fire it looked Yery much gs if fhe | Satvotion ol & old landmark of Chicago would be de- stroyed, and it was only by extremely en- ergetic efforts that it was confined within the limits stated. The publishing-rooms of the journal and the American Merorial Association were entirely burned sut. Max Stern, printers and stationers, and half a dozen printing firms suffered considerable damage. The quarters of the Freie Presse, a German daily, were thoroughly soaked, but they have managed to-night to put the premises into shape. The Times building is owned by D. A. Blodgett. His loss is estimated at $15,000. The losses were entirely covered by in- surance. s . FOUR MEN INJURED. An Ohio Freight Train Wrecked at a Newcomerstown Switch. NEWCOMERSTOWNX, Onto, March 31.— A west-bound freight train on the Panhan- dle was wrecked a mile east of here this morning, and four men were seriously if not fatally wounded. John Wilson: aged 25, a barber living at Tuscarora; Oscar Hurzey, aged 19, son of Squire Hurzey, Postmaster at Booth; Wil- liam Mercer and Willis Berkshire, both of the latter place, had all walked three miles to Ulrichsville to catch a train for New- comerstown. The men stood on the end sill of a car about midway of the train. As the train approached the siding to pull in for the limited the engineer found he was running at a high rate of speed and made an emergency stop. The force broke a car coupling just in front of the one the men were on, and they were allowed to drop almost into the jaws of death. ‘Wilson had bad face and scalp wounds, besides internal injuries, which make his recovery hopeless. Berkshire suffered the loss of both legs below the knees. He took off his coat, wrapped it around his severed limbs and lay down to await surgical aid ortodie. Mercer had a shoulder badly crushed and has internal injuries, the severity of which cannot be told yet. Hur- zey’s right arm was broken in two places. Berkshire and Wilson will die. SWEPT BY FOREST FIRES REPORTED -L0SS OF MANY LIVES IN INDIANA AND WESTERN KENTUCKY. S1x PERSONS ARE KNOWN To HAVE PERISHED . BY BEING HemMED IN. CINCINNATI, Osro., March 31.—The Commercial Gazette specials from points in Western Kentucky and Southern In- diana report that the forest fires are still raging, but definite information from any locality is lacking. -The loss is estimated at $200,000in Kentucky and less in Indiana. Dispatches from Bowling Green, Ky., say that eight miles from there the homes of Otis Smith, James Waters and Henry Taler were burned after 400 acres of timber were swept away. The families mounted horses and escaped. Henry Eiler was so badly burned that he died, and a negro farm hand perished 1n bed on Eiler’s farm. At Annetta and Blowtown large tracts of timber were burned. William Edwards, | colored, was burned to death while fighting the fire. ince the burning of James V.

The death of Eiler and-the two negroes, and that of Mrs. Penny, in addition to those reported in these dispatches yesterday, make three whites, two negroes and one woman lost. — OUTLOOK FOR NEBRASKA. The Heavy Storms Have Proven a Bless- ing to the Farmers. OMAHA, Nepr., March 31.—Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night rain or snow fell in nearly every county in Eastern and Northern Nebraska. A few spots in the central and western part of the State have not reported, but it is known that the moisture was distributed generally and almost generously throughout the thickly settled portion of the State. More timely rain never came, for the greatest anxiety felt in reference to the prospects for the coming crop in Nebraska and the lack of rain had given rise to apprehensions that already the conditions in the State were such that the outlook for an abundant crop were very dubious. In order that the exact situation might be known the Bee has secured reports of the present condition throughout the State. Reports have been received from nearly every county in the State which show that as yet there is no cause for the alarm that has been felt; that in fact the prospects are generally of the best. In spite of the lack of rain the reports in- dicate that in almost every section of Nebraska the soil is moist and in good con- dition for working and seeding. There are a few exceptions to this general rule, but not enough to make the outlook at all dubious. It is true there has been a great lack of moisture, but the reports indicate that the ground is too dry for seeding and that with the rain that came last night and what will follow in Apriland May the crops will be in excellent condition. The acreage is reported to be an average one both in corn and small grain. In the central por- tion of the State the sitnation seems to be generally good. —_———— ART PRIZE AWARDS.

WRAPPED INA BUNDLE Mutilated Remains of a Woman Found in - New York. WAS CHOKED TO DEATH. The Body Had Been Butchered and Then Hidden Behind a Building. DETECTIVES ARE AT WORK They Have a Piece of Paper as a Clew Upon Which to Trace the Crime. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 31.—One of the most mysterions murders committed inthis city since the mutilated body of “0ld Shakespeare’ was found in a low re- sort near the East River front, for whose butchery the Algerian “Frenchy’ is now serving a life sentence, was discovered to- day shortly after 6 o’clock A.m. The vie- tim in this case was a young colored woman whose dismembered body was found wrapped in pieces of carpeting par- tially hidden from view in the rear of the building on the southeast corner of Sixth avenue and Waverly place. How long the remains had been lying there is not known. As yet the police have no clew to the person or persons who deposited the body there. Immediately upon the discovery of the crime, the police of the central offices were notified and half a dozen of the best detectives were detailed to fathom the mystery. The body was found almost at the same time by two men. One of them was Joeph Phillips, a young electrician, and Patrolman Kasimire of the Mercer- street station. The bundle in which the remains were found was bound at each end with pieces of cloth, leaving the middle portion somewhat loose. Around the woman’s neck was tied in a double knot a long piece of cheese cloth. This had been tied so tightly that it bad caused strangulation, and had forced the tongue to protrude from the mouth. Her legs had been cut off just below the knee and one of them laid on the body with the foot toward the head, while the other was found under- neath the body. Both members had been hacked off with a sharp ax or butcher’s cleaver, and pieces of ragged skin and flesh were hanging from the dismembered legs. The only clothing the woman had on was achemise and chemisette of white material. ‘When these wereremoved a gaping wound, nine inches long and which penetrated to the bone, was disclosed just above the right thigh. In a bundle there was found a piece of note paper on which was a clot of blood, and written in pencil these words, so far as they conld be made out: “March 23. Raw Wanj, James (Jane) E. Surindell, Raw Way, N. J.” Beneath was the word “Solomon’” and also the word “Brother,” while the word *Ditto” was written between them. Deputy Coroner Dr. Donlin removed the piece of cheesecloth with which she had been strangled to death. He found that this had been tied ina double knot, and that it had been the direct cause of death. The other mutilations, he said, had been done after death, probably with a sharp ax or a butcher’s cleaver. There was nowhere to be found any evi- dence of a struggle on the part of the woman. The Deputy Coroner was positive that the woman had been dead more than twenty-four hours. He said also that the woman had been a mother. The woman wore on the third finger of her right hand a plain gold ring and on her left breast a porous plaster. It is the opinion of the police that the woman is a member of that class of colored women who live on the streets running out of Sixth ayenue. They make no attempt to explain the motive for the crime. No one of the name of Surindell could be found in Rahway, N. J. EUROPEAN MARKETS. The People of France Get Rid of Secur- ities for Mining Stocks. LONDON, ExG., March 31.—With the influx of gold from abroad and with no signs of immediate shipment to the United States the rates tor money continued dull during the past week. With the exception of home railway securities, which were weak only on bad traflic reports, the tone of the stock market was good all around, although owing to the settlement, dealings were only on a moderate scale. The East- ern armistice gaveja further impulse to sil- ver securities. Sir Edward Grey's state- ment in the House of Commons about the financial policy in the Upper Nile had the effect of weakening international stocks. Spanish bonds were fairly sold as a result of the Cabinet crisis in Madrid and the Cu- ban troubles. Paris sold all international stocks rather heavily in order to obtain money to invest in mines, The business in the mining share mar- ket has at last become so heavy that it caused a breakdown in the clearing-house arrangements. It is quite evident that the committee is bound to do something to cope with the boom. Canadian nilw?y securities showed a better tone. The market for American railway securi- ties continued to improve on various signs of widening trade prospects. Wool has been bought largely at the London auctions on American account, while large American orders for manufac- tured goods have been placed in Europe. These increases were made in American railway list: Readings 5, Atchison 23, Erie seconds 2, Denver and Rio Grande preferred, Louisville and Nashville, Nor- folk and Western preferred, Reading and Union Pacific: each 134, and Erie and Northern Pacific preferred each 1. All the others made fractional advances. At s D THE YANKEE MYSTEKY. The Shooting of Waddell by 0’Brien Sup- posed to Be a Love Affair. LONDON, Exe. March 31.—A special dispatch from Par:s says that the so-called “Yankee mystery,” the shooting of Wad- dell or Reed by Thomas O’Brien on ‘Wednesday last at the Northern Railway station, is still unexplained. O'Brien laughs at the antecedents saddled on him and says that they are probably his brother’s, whom he describes as & bad lot. The guarrel, it is said, is not one arising from differences between the bookmakers, but had its origin in a love affair and re- sembles the troubles between Jim Fisk and Stokes, which led to the shooting of the former.

THREE PROMINENT DEATHS. The Dean of Canterbury, Sir Charles Mills and General Chesney. LOXNDON, Exg., April 1.—The Times an- nounces the death of the Very Rev. Payne Smith, D.D., dean of Canterbury. He was born in 1818. Dr. Smith was at one time | @ GUESSING INDULGED IN, = under librarian at Oxford University and | was the auther of many works. Dr. Smith was appointed in August, 1865, to suceceed Dr. Jacobson as Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford on the advancement of the latter to the bishopric of Chester, and in 1871 was raised to the Deanery of Canterbury, va- cant by the death of Dr. H. Alford. The death of Sir Charles Mills is also an- nounced. In 1882 he was appointed Agent General for the Cape of Good Hope in Lon- don and royal and executive commis- sioner for the Cape Colony at the Colonial and Indian exhibition in 1886. The Times also this morning announces the death of General Thomson Chesney from angi-pectoris. General Chesney was the author of “The Battle of Dorking,” which was published in 1871 and created a great sensation. In 1887 General Chesney vecame a member of the Council as the Guvernor-General of India. ety AN APOLOGY OFFERED. The London Observer Takes Back What It Said of Wilde.
