Did Monree Vansant K. Conceal His Mar ° Philadelphia has a sensation in the suicide of Monroe L. Vansant, who was found dead in the third story of his house, 1619 Wallace street. He had been dead a week, and the body was al- ready much decomposed. The rest of the family was away. The keylioles and crevices of the doors and windows were plugged, and the gas turned on, showing that deliberate suicide had been intended. The theory of suicide is strengthened by the statement of Mary Montier, of No, 1324 Poplar street, who claims to be the widow of the dead man. She says she was married to young Vansant 6n February 25, 1885. Young Vansant had been dsepondent, and it is supposed the cause wag his recent ma Himself to a a ieee Bismarck is Still Popular. A Berliu dispatch states that the dem- onstration to Bismayck at the Stettiner Bahnhof is atill the chief subject of con- versation and press comments. ‘The overpowering enthusiasm manifested at the Prince's yeception has opened many eyes to the unshaken hold that he still maintains among the common people. The revelation was all the more surpris- ing because the high politicians here tried hard to believe that the demonstrations in Vienna and South Germany were got up merely by malcontenta and persons wishing to protest against the policy of the new regime. The demonstration here, however, wagsg Spantaneous that it could be explained only on the assump- tion that the peaple still loved their old Chancellor. Bismarck mementoes have been boomed into unprecedented popu- larity. Everything appertaining to the Berlin reception of the Prince has been sold at ten times its intrinsic value, and Bismarck’s potographs are sold as they were not sold evenin the days of Em- peror William, Stands by Somerby. The supreme sitting of the Iron Hall was held at Indianapolis this week. Somerby made a long speech, appealing to members to stand by the order at least until after the court rendered a decision in the pending suit. He predicted that the order would come out on top and that the court would refuse to,wreck it by the appointment of a receiver. The commit- tee on audit reported exonerating Som- erby and eitening the utmost confi- dence in him as the Supreme Justice of the Order. It also reported that an ex- amination of the books and accounts of Supreme Cashier Davis and Supreme Ac- countant Walter showed everything atraight and satisfactory. The End of an Adventure. Lydia Mellor and Irene Blizzard, whe mysteriously disappeared from Chester, Pa., last week, arrived home on Sunday in a dazed condition, They claim they were drugged by two men whom they met at Lincoln Park, and after missing the last boat for Chester were taken to Philadelphia, forced to enter a cab, and taken to a house on Brown street, where they were afterward deserted. Both bear marks of violence, and are prostrated at the Mellor residence, The girls were both of good character, and Sunday school teachers, and their sad adventure was the result of what they deemed to be a little harmless lark. The police of Philadelphia are investigating. Congressman Warwick Dead. John G. Warwick, Representative in Congress from the Sixteenth District of Ohio, died in his rooms in the Riggs House, Washivgton, about 9 o’clock on the 14th inst. He was serving his first term in Congress, as the successor of Mc- Kinley, whom he defeated after one of the most memorable and bitterly con- tested campaigns in the history of Ohio politics. Mr, Warwick was nearly sixty- two years of age, and was a native of Ireland.

THE TORIES OUSTED FROM POWER | BY A VOTE OF 350 TO 310. All the Liberal Elements Stand Together United in Favor of Home Rule for Ire- land Mr. Gladstone Sees the Queen and Takes the Reins of Power. London dispatches give graphic de- scriptions of the exciting political events ia England. A vote of “no confidence” in the Tory government passed parlia- ment on the motion of Mr. Henry Her. bert Asquith (Gladstenian), member for the East division of Fifeshire. ‘The Tory sud Unionist members made bitter at- tacks on Mr, Gladstone, but the Liberals treated ajl the speeches with silent co-- tempt, refusing to reply. The vote showed that every Liberal vote present | was cast for Mr. Gladstone's return to power. This seems to indicate that the Liberals are agreed upon a programme of Home Rule for Ireland. Lord Salisbury tendered the resigna- tions of himself and the Tory Cabinet on the 12th inst.,and Mr. Gladstone pro- veeded to the Isle of Wight to see the Queen on the 13th, Reports of Mr. Gladstone’s itl health have been freely circulated. Herbert Gladstone says that his father’s health is all right, and that all talk of the Liberal leader breaking down is the “merest rub- bish. * The Knights Templar Adjourn.

Ex- tra guards have been set to watch Frick’s office and residence. Secretary Lovejoy has been warned that he will be killed before August 15. Alleged New Pipe Line, A New York report states that a new pipe oil company is being organized by oil producers of Philadelphia and Pitts burg, who are said to have subscribed $12,000,000 to lay four pipes from Brad ford, Pa., to Newburgh, on the Hudson, a distance of 212 miles. It is stated, however, that only $60,000 has actually been paid in. A Sunken Ship 240 Feet Under Sand. L. H. Hathaway & Co., of Philadel- phia, who are building a Government lighthouse four and three-quarter miles north north-west of Sandy Hook, boring for fresh water, bored through a sunken ship 240 feet beneath the sandy clay.

The Mail and: Express, ot New York, proposes ai universal railroad rate of $1 for all workingmen living within 1,50 miles of Chicago, and who want to visit the great fair. The paper maintains that this can be done by the railroad corpora tions at a profit. It proposes that Wed- nesday shall be workingmen’s day. Copper Made Harder than Steel.
