A Paris cable says : Sala Rubini and his

evening the loss of almost 100,000f. and a
pet monkey; Mr. Rubini says that he and
-Mrs. Rubini left Paris on the Club train,
intending• to Dross to England. Before
leaving the station they missed the basket
containing the monkey, but decided to leave
without him and telegraph to the police
from London. En route to St. Denis, Mrs.
,Rubini missed her hand satchel, in which
she had jewelry, a letter of credit and bank
notes of a total value of 80,000f. Her
husband alighted, at Amiens and (took a
train back to Paris, and she, after proceed-
ing to Calais, followed him thither. They
found no trace of the thief or monkey at
the Paris station. On Tuesday Mr. Rubini
was robbed of a purse containing 18,000f.
He thinks that the thief, having learned
that he carried much ready money with him,
shadowed him to the Paris station and took
the satchel and basket while they,sat in the
waiting -room. Mrs. Rubini thinks that the
moms"yis following the thief. She says
she had left " Jocko," as s'he_calls him, out
of his basket for a little air, and when she
put him back did not fasten the cover
securely. She had trained hire to attack
anybody touching her belongings, and she
believes he may have jumped out after the
thief when the latter took her satchel,
dragging after him the basket to which he
was chained.

i hn.as 'passed from place to place on the
,00ntinentt killing, robbing and blackmail-
ingwithout rest. He speaks all Continental
guageg, and confesses to at least sixty
crimes." He:.began his criminal career in
Cipenhagen as a pickpocket. He tried to
rob a .bank, was suspected, and fled to
Switzerland. To escape detection he
entered a monastery near Berne, where
he ,,earned a reputation for exceptional
:piety. At the end of six months he stole
apart of the communion service, rifled the
'Oreasury of 5,000f. and fled to Italy. After
quandering the money in Rome he entered,
another monastery, from which he disap-
peared shortly after with several hundred
francs' worth of -silver plate. This robbery
was committed near Flcrence. Thence he
went through Southern Italy and Sicily
alternately as a highwayman and monk.
Near Palermo he is said to have killed a
man who resisted his attempt at robbery in
the street. From Italy Hadelt went to
Bosnia, where he robbed a convent and a
church. In Berlin he passed a few weeks
in spending about 12,000f. which he had
realized from his monastic life, and then
proceeded to Hanover, where he joined
an infantry regiment. Ho stole
eight hundred marks from the 'officer,
at whose personal service he was
plated, and deserted before the theft was
discovered. He was captured while making
his way toward the French border. Hewas
then disguised as a monk, and had the
money concealed in the skirts of his habit.
To avoid suspicion he was begging his way
from door to door. He was tried and, sen-
tenced to two years' imprisonment in the
fortress at Mayence, but escaped by letting
himself over the wall at night. He went
directly to Paris, where, for a few months,
he was the most expert of the city's confi-
dence men. With the money obtained in
this period he set up a flashy establishment,
introducing himself as a foreign count who
had adopted France as his country.' On
the strength of his military experience
in Hanover he posed as a military
man, and eventually joined the French
army. He served some time in the French
Legion of Honor. When his funds began
to dwindle he again put on the garb of a
monk, and after numerous robberies and
attempted murders in French monasteries
he brought up, one year ago, as a Trappist
brother in Aigne-Belle. He affected the
utmost piety, and gave to the Order two
or three hundred francs, which he . had
with him when he entered it. One night,
in the sixth month of hisresidence there, he
entered the room of Pere Ildeionse, the
bursar, killed him and fled, taking with him
12,135 francs in notes andsecurities
belonging to the Order. During his trial
Hadelt behaved with the utmost callousness,
alternately laughingat the testimonyagainst
him and glorying in the narrative of some
' exceptionally atrocious bit of crime. The
Police of Italian, Swiss, German, Austrian
and Danish cities were active in securing
evidence as to his past life, and,the testi-
mony sent in writing fills hundreds of pages.
Hadelt will be guillotined at the end of this
month, it is said.
A SHOCKING SPECTACLE.
A Berlin Youth Leaps from a Uigh• Bnild-
ing to Death.
A Berlin cable says : A horrible sight was
witnessed to -day in the Neue Friedrich-
stresse, a young man committing suicide in
the presence of hundreds of spectators by
jumping from the top of a building. The
unfortunate youth, a clerk named Bauer, had
for some time past shown signs of failing
mind. His insanity finally took the
shape of a delusion to the effect that he was
the son of the late King Ludwig of Bavaria,
who committed suicide by jumping into a
lake in the Royal grounds at Munich. To-
day Bauer climbed to the parapet of a house
in the street mentioned and stood there
a long time • singing selections from
Lohengrin and shouting incoherentwords
to the people who gathered below.
A physician who lived in the vicinity and a
police offioer endeavored to rescue the man
from his perilous position, but he resisted
all their efforts, and they nearly lost their
lives in the attempt to reach him. Finally
they succeeded in get ting upon the roof, and
were about to seize the maniac, when he
rushed to the edge of the parapet, and
shrieking out, " I will die as my father
did," he sprang to the pavement. His body
was smashed into a shapeless mass •by
contact with the stones.

Another English Lady a Victim of a Foul
Outrage in It.
A London cable says : Another railway
outrage is reported. The victim is a dress-
maker, named Amy Faulkner, and from
present indications her assailant, if arrested,
will have to answer a charge of murder.
Some men walking along the railway near
• Leeds found a woman lying near the rails.
Her clothing was disarranged and she was
terribly injured. She was just able to state
that she had been assaulted in the compart-
ment of a railway carriage and that after
her assailant had outraged her he had thrown
her headlong from the carriage. The train
was running at full speed, and her injuries
were sustained by ber being thrown from
the train. Tho police are looking for the
assailant.

THE ,M'OANN MURDER.
The trial of Thomas Forsyth was next
proceeded with. The prisoner, an elderly
man, was oharged with having killed a
young man named John McCann in the
township of Hope on March 6th last. The
prisoner was defended by Mr. E. C. S.
Huycke. Thomas McCann, a young man
not 21 year's of age, was the first witness
called. Witness said • On Saturday night,
March 5th, I was in Millbrook with brother
John and Albert Rowe. We, were drinking
round town. , My brother and Rowe left
Millbrook two hours before I left. I went
home and made a disturbance. I left there
and went up to Thos. Smith's. I asked
Smith for the lantern to go across to Tom
Forsyth's. My brother John came after-
wards. I rapped at pbrsyth'a •door and he
got up and let me in. I told him I heard
there were some stories going round about
Mrs. Smith and me. He said he had heard
them, bub did not start them. He got
mad and ordered me out of his house. He
picked up hie boot and told me he would
help me out. Rowe then came in and
Forsyth struck me with the boot on my
forehead. My brother came forward and
grabbed me and pulled me out. I broke
away from my brother and struck at For-
syth. He threw down the boot and ran to
the other room. My brother told me For-
syth was getting his gun, and to run out. I
threw the lantern down and ran out on the
road. I was outside the gate when the gun
went off. I went back and found my
brother lying nine or ten feet from the door.
He was sitting there saying, " Oh, Tom,
it's me you've shot:" Forsyth was standing
at the door with the gun in his hand. I ran
in and grabbed him and knocked the gun
out of his hand. I pulled him away from
the door and struck him several times. We
carried my brother across to Smith's. He
died on Sunday night. .
Willie A. Forsyth, .a bright little boy,
the prisoner's son, ten years old, was the
next witness. He related the story of the
quarrel on Sunday morning, and said that
blows were exchanged between his father
and Tom McCann. " Pa shoed Tom ont-
side'the door," he continued, " and tried to
get the door thut,but could not get it bolted
on the inside: The three boys came and
kicked the door in again. They grabbed
hold of pa and tried to pull him out. . They
pulled him as far as the door. Pa braced
himself. against the door and held back. He
said if they didn't go he would get some-
thing to make them go. They said
they wouldn't go. Tom said he was
not afraid of him or all that he could bring
out. Then pa ran into the bed-
room and • got ' the • gun. Albert
,Rowe and Tom . McCann grabbed him.
John was standing on the doorstep. They
tried to pull him outside. Albert and Tom
were pounding him. Tom took hold of the
gun. They pulled him out near the door.
John was pulling on the other two boys.
Albert had hold of the gun with one hand
and pa's arm with the other. I heard John
McCann say, ' Pull him out, pull him out.'
After the gun went off John said he was
shot. The two boys pulled pa outside and
kicked him. Rowe yelled, `Kill him, murder
him, he's shot your brother 1' I saw the
blood hour from John's leg. Then he stag-
gered back a few feet and fell down. They
carried him to Mr. Smith's. Pa's face was
bruised and bloody."
Evidence as to the prisoner's good char-
acter and peaceable disposition was given by
Thos. M. Welch, reeve of Hope ; James
Smith, Thos. McCamus, and , Robert and
James Wood. After- able addresses from
counsel, Mr. Huycke making a particularly
eloquent and effective appeal in the prison-
er's behalf, Judge Rose tersely summed up
the evidence. The minds of the jury were
made up before they left the box, and after
a few minutes' absence they returned with a
verdict of not guilty, which was received
with sounds of approval. Upon leaving the
dock the prisoner was surrounded by his
friends
A Cobourg despatch says : At the Assizes,
here to -day Thomas McCann and -- Albert
Rowe were tried on a charge of aggravated
assault upon Thomas Forsyth, who was
acquitted yesterday for killing John MC -
Cann, near Garden Hill in Hope township.
The offence was committed at the time of
the ruffianly raid upon Forsyth's house at 2
o'clock in the morning of Sunday, March
6th last, when Thomas McCann, while
"'fighting drunk," went to " lay out " For-
syth for having circulated some stories
about McCann's relations with Mrs. Smith.
The defendants, acting in concert, as the
Crown alleges, followed Thomas to Forsy th's,
shoved in his door, dragged him from his
door in hie night clothes, and kicked and
heat him. Rowe struck him a blow on his
forehead, and afterwards held hint down
while Thomas McCann kicked him. John
McCann was fatally shot during the melee.
Verdict, guilty. Judge Rose took a merciful
view of -,the case. Ho said : "Those who
know mo at all in the administration of
justice perhaps know that I have a weakness
about sending persons to jail for the first
time. I see no benefit in it at all. .I think
the administration of prison discipline is
something that forty or fifty years from
now those who comp after us will
look back on with horror. His Lordship
then stated that as Thomas McCann had
already suffered anguish from the death of
his brother, he, Thomas, being the guiltier
of the two, and considering all the circum-
stances of the case, he would suspend sen-
tence conditionally upon the defendants
furnishing two sureties of $500 each to ap-
pear for sentence when called upon.
DAMAGE OVER $100,000.
A' Belleville despateh says : One of the
most disastrous conflagrations which has
occurred in Ontario for some years took
place &.t Trenton this morning. At 4
o'clock a fire broke out in Maybee's elevator,
at the wharf, and almost before the town
was aware of the fact 20,`000 bushels of
grain were destroyed and the elevator and
outbuilding reduced to ashes. When
Harrison Meyers, the nightwatch, was
made aware of the presence of the fire it
had gained such a headway that it was
impossible to check its progress. The
elevator was of a dry and inflammable
material, and in an incredibly short time
the fire had eaten its way into the lumber
yards, which it destroyed like matchwood.
Eight hundred cords of hardwood were
piled on the docks. The night watchman
lost a horse, which 'was employed to ele-
vate grain. The fire then attacked the
police station in Henry Mead's block and
spread rapidly to the Dominion Express
offices. From here it. ran along into P. G.
Ireland's grocery store, and following in
line demolished Dickey's drug store,
which is insured for $4,000, and Mowat &
Co's. hardware store. In the rear of the
hardware store was stored a quantity of
dynamite in the . cellar of a storehouse.
Over the. cellar was a large stock of car-
riage wheels, eto. When the fire attacked
the storehouse hundreds of people were
standing in the vicinity, all. unconscious of
their terrible danger. About 5 o'clock a
terrible explosion occurred in the cellar
which tore up the ground around the ware-
house and demolished outstanding build-
ings. The people in the vicinity of the
explosion were at once thrown into a
panic. Men and women were thrown to
the ground and it was at first thought
that a number had been killed, but wonder-
ful to state, this was not the case..
Several of the bystanders were badly in-
jured. It is a strange fact that none of
the" firemen were fatally injured, although
at the time of the explosion they were in
close proximity to the warehouse. When
the explosion took place there was a crash
of glass, the cause of which was the
demolishment of every plate -glass window'
in the town of Trenton, stretching some
distance on both Dundee and Front streets,
entailing great loss to , the owners. Some
of the carriage fixtures which were stored
in.the warehouse over the dynamite were
blown over a mile, and only fragments
could be found this morning.
After leaving Mead's • block, the .,fire
spread into the Maybee block, where it was
arrested by the efforts of the firemen after
destroying a barn belonging to Mr. Maybee,
in which was a quantity of hay, straw, feed,
carriages, etc. •Mr. Mead is a resident of
Brighton and his loss is said to be partially
covered by insurance. The total loss can-
not be exactly stated, but will not be less
than $100,000. The fire was still burning
to -day. The destruction of this property
will be a serious blow to Trenton, from
which it will not soon recover. It• is said
that some of it will not be rebuilt by the
late owner, as the loss to him will be great.
In the upper stories of Mead's block were
several families who lost their all. The
origin of the fire is a mystery. There is no
doubt that it was the work.of'an in-
cendiary.
MARRIED TWENTY WOMEN.
John Anderson, the Man Who Could Not
Resist the 'Maidens.
A Cleveland despatch says : The main
evidence against John Anderson, the Dane,
who is supposed to have married twenty
women, was submitted yesterday. Mrs.
Ellen Purcell, of St. Louis, his latest bride,
described how Anderson had brought her
to the city, stole a note and cash amount-
ing to $ l,200 from an inner pocket of her
under garments, and fled to the east. The
Dana was put on the stand in his own
defence. He proved to be anything, but a
simpleton, and, though his story was
interesting and plausible, the prosecution
succeeded in tangling him upon cross-
examination. He . admitted his • marriage
to Mrs. Purcell, but refused to answer
questions concerning the Elmira neerriage.
He claimed Mrs. Purcell had forced him
into marrying her by putting a policeman
on his track after he had become intimate
with her, and that she insisted upon his
taking all her money and keeping it for his
own use. His reason for deserting her
was that she was old and so affectionate
that he became disgusted and resolved to
take a vacation.
A MOB'S VENGEANCE.
Tramp Captured by a Virginia Crowdk
an Tortured.
A Washington despatch says : Bower
Robinson, a tramp, was taken from an
officer and swung up to the limb of a tree
on the road between Alexandria and
Fairfax county jail by ' masked men on
Wednesday. On Friday last Robinson
assaulted Mrs. Caton and Mrs. Lackey on
the Little River turnpike. He knocked
both the ladies down, and was only pre-
vented from accomplishing his fiendish pur-
pose by their outcries. He was kept hang-
ing from the limb till his face was black
and his tongue protruded from his mouth.
He was then lowered to the ground, but as
soon as ho regained consciousness ho was
again swung up and kept up for three
minutes. Before life was extinct, however,
Robinson was let down a second time. He
lay on the ground gasping for breath.
" Don't torture me any longer. Take a
pistol and blow out my brains," he gasped,
as soon as he was able to speak. The
appeal touched his persecutors, and, still
suffering from the fearful torture he had
just undergone, he was lifted back into the
buggy and driven to the jail.
Hers was a Stunner.

A SUICIDE CLUB."
An Uncouth Fraternity Discovered in e
Windy City.
A Chicago despatch says : Another man,
who is said to be a member of the suicide
club which is declared to exist in this city,
shot himself in Douglas Park last night,
dying instantly. He was Joseph Kraker, a
brewery employee. Andrew Rudman is
authority for the assertion that Kraker
belonged to an organization each member of
which is bound by oath to commit suicide.
Rudman is' under arrest: Before being
taken into custody Rudman, who like
Kraker worked in a brewing establishment,
had written a letter announcing a purpose
of perpetrating self -murder. Then Rudman
broke open.a room -mate's trunk, abstracted
$30,, bought a revolver, attempted to kill
MisEva Diessler, to whom he has, been
engaged, and fired a shot at one Meister,
who was the foreman who recently dis-
charged Rudman. The latter fired into a
group of citizens, and attempted to put a
bullet into a policeman who arrested him.
Rudman's unsteady aim was due to the fact
that he had been drinking heavily. He
will have to postpone further tragic moves
pending his appearance in the Criminal
Court, to which he was remanded this after -

TiIE GERMAN SOJJMER'S LIFE.
The Brutality of Officers Driving Privates'
to Suicide.
A Berlin cable says : The body of• the
Grenadier Hermsdorf, of the 1st Regiment
of Foot Guards in Potsdam, who disap-
peared some time ago, has been found in the
River Navel. At the time of his disappear-
ance August Bebel, Social Democrat, said
that Hermsdorf had been driven to suicide
by abuse from the non-commissioned officers
of the regiment. Hermsdorf bad told his
friends that he was compelled to do the
work of a scavenger, was"kicked or cuffed
almost daily, and had been kept standing on
one leg for an hour frequently while his
corporal was eating dinner. Bebel said this
was a typical case of abuse such as thou-
sands of privates suffered in the best Prus-
sian regiments. The commander in Pots-
danicontended that Hermsdorf had deserted.
The finding of the body and the accom-
panying proof of suicide will be made the
basis of a motion in ,the next session of
the Reichstag for the investigation of the
maltreatment of soldiers in Prussian regi-
ments. ,
A CRY FOit BREAD.
Newfoundlanders Starving and Dying for
Lack of Food.
A St. John's (Nfld.) despatch says : In-
formation from the northern coasts depict a
wretched condition of affairs. Owing to the
ravages of grip last year the miserable in-
habitants were unable to gather their usual
catch of fish. Just before navigation. closed
the Government sent the people of Flower's
Cove 60 barrels of fl,�i:r to save them from
perishing during the winter. For five
menthe they have been cut off from the out-
side world by ice. Early in February the
people watched with horror the consump-
tion of the last handful of flour. How they
have lived since God alone knows. For two
months the cry of hanger has been heard.
Whole families had not a crust of bread.
There is not a barrel of flour on the whole
coast between Bonne Bay and St. Anthony.
Some people have already perished from
starvation, and, at the date of the last ad-
vices, March 26th, a terrible condition of
affairs existed.
A STEP -MOTHER'S CRUELTY.

A London cable says ; . The second wife '
of Jae. Clarke °, carman, was arraigned to-
day on the charge of having caused th.e'
death of her step -daughter, aged 9 years.
She was committed for trial, and her
husband was severely censured by the
magistrate for not having prevented the
cruelties that led to the death of his
daughter. The evidence showed that the
child had been treated with the greatest
brutality. The girl was often tied tightly
to the balusters' of the house and was . kept
there for hours at a ptretch. Mrs. Clark
frequently heat her terribly with a strap or
cane, and often, when she claimed that sho
had discovered tho girl telling falsehoods,
she tied a string about her tongue and left
her for hours to suffer excruciating torture.
The child finally gave way under her step-
mother's treatment and died. i no

)RAILWAY SIGNALS.
•
How the Engineefr and lirakeswan Under-
stand Each Other.
° A great many people are accustomed to
railway travel, and the eight el moving and
�tiuintiiag trains Ili a oQlnmon enc, but hew-
many
ow
many people, as they stand at the railway
station in understand the character
and meaning of the various signals by
which the engineer and brakesman are en-
abled to understand each other and to
contol intelligently the movements of the
trains. To the average traveller, who
spends a considerable portion of his time
on the road, the signals and` sounds
seen and heard remain unintelligible.
He may perhaps know that the bell
is rung before the train starts or before a
crossing is reached, but the waving of
lamps and the signs of the trainmen are to
him meaningless. He take his seat in the
Pulhnan car, puts on a soft cap, and gives
himself over to his own reflections, relying
on the conductor to avoid all accidents and
bestowing never a thought on the various
intricate signals that must be correctly
given and correctly received, sometimes
under the moat adverse circumstances, that
his safety may he -mewed.
The signal most often observed and ,
misunderstood by passengera is the whistle
of the locomotive. The train stops sud-
denly, perhaps, and a shrill scream from
the locomotive brings a score of heads
popping from the windows when there is
not the slightest cause for alarm or even
interest.
There is not a whistle but has its own
particular meaning. The long drawn blast'
iseesed when approaching a station, or-,
when the semaphore is up and the train in
waiting for it to be pulled down. The
short, single whistle is the sign for the ap-
plication of brakes, and when the sound of
it reaches the brakemen of a . freight train,
they will rush hurriedly along the top of
the train and frantically twist the iron
wheels which stick up at the end of the
cars. On passenger trains the air brakes
render this signal of small moment. Two
short toots means to lot off the brakes,
while three signify that the engineer is
about to reverse his engine andbaok the
train The crossing signal consists of
two short blasts and one long, and the
rule with regard to the use of this is sup-
posed to be very strict. Four short whistles
are lo have a switch turned, as to let a train
on or off a siding, while repeated short
blasts are intended -to scare cattle off the
track. There are a few other variations -of
less importance.
A number of very useful signals are made
by a variety of motions with the hands and
arms. Throwing the hands open and
stretching the arms out signifies "go ahead,"
the distance being signified by the force of
the motion. Extending one or both arms
at full length horizontally and waving, the
hand slightly up and down is the command
to stop. This is generally accompanied by
a shrill diminuendo whistle. The signal to
back is made by waving the hands in a
small circle from the elbows.
These signals are used principally in the
making up of freight trains, and "so used to
their interpretation do engine, drivers be-
come that they can tell to a nicety how far
to go back or forward by the slight vibra-
tion in the motion.
When night precludes the possibility of
using the hands for signals, the white lan-
tern
comes into requisition. The swing of,
the lantern in a large circle overhead means
" All right "; a small circle signifies " Go
ahead." Raising and dropping the lamp
perpendicularly several times is the sign to
back up. The order to stop is transmitted
by swinging the lantern horizontally across
the body at the full length of the arm.
The man who possesses a passing knowl-
edge of these signals may not perhaps 'be
any happier than his neighbor, but he takes
more interest in travelling, and is. able to
put his knowledge to good advantage, and
possibly at times save himself from positive
danger.
