A London oable says : Tbe latest adyiees from Chaster in reg,ard to the lady oand •'ilhookingly injured ou the Snowdon mann- •itain eay that R. C. Duncan, of Washing- • ton, areivea three weeks ago at the Bonier View Hotel at Betteway•Coed, accorupanieel by a young foreign lady whom he intro. dneeds hie wire. Duncan woo already known at the hotel, where he stayed taut • Bummer with two other Americans, On Tuesday Duncan mita his wife left the hotel, ostensibly for the purpose of going to Liverpool, but having left their luggage at the railway station they returned to the hotel. They started at midday apparently un friendly terms to take a walk. At 6 a'oIooI in tho evening a farmer paseing through a plantation in a secluded spot saw Duncan leaning over a woman who was lyitag on the ground. Duncan shouted that the woman was his wife, who had fallen and hit her head on a rook. The woman, who was unconsolous, Wee removed to a farm. house. The doctors who heard Duncan's atory were unable to reooncile the nature of the woman's injury with his story. Her skull was fractured over the right ear, ob- viously from a blow. The operation of trephining was performed. Duncan, who was arrested, confeased on being informed that his wife was still alive that he had battered her head, and the police have I ound a stone cowered with blood and hair near the spot where the woman had lain. Duncan on being te.ken before a megis. trate made no explanation of the affair and was remanded. Darman is 27 years old, is short, slight and fairhaired, sad wears emeatacles. He is a noted linguist. His aamily in Washington occupy a good social poeition. It is stated that he met his wife in Stockholm, and that her father is a cigar manufacturer at Abo, in Finland. Mrs. Daman is still unconscious, and there is only the smallest hope of her recovery. Duncan's motive for the crime has not been explained. NEXT-OF-KIN FRAUDS. Beware a Big Stories of Money Awaiting Heirs to Claim It. A London cable says: Notwithstanding repeated warnings that have been sent out from time to time by the United States Legation here and by the press of America concerning the fraudulent oharcoter of so- called English estate agents in America, -recent developments show the number of -dupes is increasing Daring the past few weeks more letters than ever before have been reoeived from America, inquiring after imaginary estates of fabulous rums awaiting the writers in the Bank of Eng- land. In the case of many estates, such as the Jenningo-Lawrenoe, Townley, or Chase - Townley, Hyde•Herne, Bradford -Hedges and others, special circulars have had to be printed to answer the numerous appli- cants. The fraudulent agents insert advertisements in newspapers regarding alleged estates and collect fees for pre. tended eettrohes, eta, from the parties who are persnadea that they are heirs. The dupes often pay money to these agents for several successive years. During Mr. Lincoln's term as Minister here nearly all the letters have come from email country towns. Texas, Kansas, Iowa and the Far West seem to be especially productive. Among the letters recently received at the Legation sae communicationfrom claim- ants to some thirty-five estates. Of all the drama iuvestigated by the English aolicitors, not one has been found to have any validity. In any case the Legation bore is powerless to help claimants or even investigate these. oases. A statute et limi- tation fixes a per iwitbin which no. claimed estates revs to the Crown, and this period is twenty years. The limit within which action can be brought for the TeeeVery of real property is tWs170 :Tars. There are no large sums of money awaiting claimants in the Bank of Ergland. There are very few amounts of a1,000 and none exoeeding that sum by more thou £100 or £200. The amount of money in Chancery belonging to unknown heirs is altogether less than £1,000,000. DECOYED TO RUIN. The Victim of a Procnress Escapes and Prefers a Charge Against Her. A New York despatch says : Frankie Belleau, a pretty 20-year.old girl who says ahe belongs in Troy, was in the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday, in the role cif complainant againet Madame May "Leroy, who keeps a house of ill.fame on Fortieth street. The girl stated in court that Madame Leroy met her in Troy some weeks ago, and by promises of fine clothes and easy lire induced her to come to New York. When the Madame got her in the house on Fortieth street she took away all her olothee and only allowed her to have a low-neckod dress to wear about the house. All the money tbe girl got the Madame took away from her alto. The girl grew desperate over her eituation, and on Wednesday she ran away from the house clad only in her wrap and slinpera and went to the police citation and made a complaint againet the woman of keeping a diaorderly house. Jostles McMahon, before whom the case was brought, ad- journed the hearing until Saturday at the request of Madame Leroy's counsel. The judge released the Madame in charge of lier counsel, and ordered the girl locked up in the House of Detention. KILLED BY A SOW. Horrible Fate of a Six -Year -Old Boy Who • Was Playing "Burying." A Wichita. Kea., despatch says : In Kiowe County, on Monday, Johnnie Ren- ner, the 6-yeamold son of a farmer, and an .13-yeamoid sister, were playing at "burying." A bolo had been dug. Jobnnie sat down in it and the girl had piled up the earth until it reached the boy's chin, 2,nd he was tightly embedded.

Henry Gaszer's body was found near it. It is probable the bodies of the other men have caught in the tyke net, and men are eeatching for them to -night, The scenes at the homes of the Browned men to night are heartrending. The four men were married, and altogether had 19 ohildren. The Executive dommittoe of the Dornin. jon Tradea and Labor Congress will meet in Ottawa to,morrow.

Detectives and Accountants Investigating A.ftairs In the Montreal Office. A Montrose' deapettoh says: Hon. Mao. kenzie Bowel' wae interviewed in Ottawa the other day: in connection with the report that a corummeion would prooeed to Mon. treed to investigate the condition of again n the Montreal ouetona home. The Minister promptly claimed the report as untrue. Whether Coils be ea or hot ityvoulti appear that such a oommiesion would find some profitable employment. The ease, however, has passed beyond the scope of a commission, and the detectives ore trying what they can do to unravel the oomplioa. tions into tvhiott the department has fallen. The most serious oltargee have been made against certain ofaoials, and they have not been denied, and now the head bookkeeper, John F. Campbell, hag been missing for ten days. lie was an employee of the department for eighteen years, and while tho spies were receiving commissione and what some call blackmail amounting to $15,000 a year, Mr. Campbell, who handled most of the money, enjoyed the munificent allow. once of $800 a year. His books are being investigated, but nothing oan be made of them yet. It is not the tuainess of officials to furnish the truth about the affair, any more than it is Mr. Bowelas bueiness to minium reports that havesinee been proved tree, but one official caid that there Was a5,000 short yesterday morning and that during the clay 03,000 bad been accounted for. Tmday it is stated that the defeat'. tions amount to a12,000. The detectives' theory is that Mr. Campbell left when he heard that the commiesioners were coming to hold an inquiry. The investigation is being conducted by Mr. D. D. O'Meara, the Quebec insteotor, and Mr. McMichael, the cbief financial iospector, with the Bashi - tone° of Mr. Belson, an officer of the department. This incident is only one of the many to be investigated. The other objeote of the inquiry are to sift to the bottom certain charges which have been made of discrimination and partial treat- ment, as well as to reduce the expenditure and eliminate those who may be considered as not necessary to the good working of the place. CHLLD INSURANCE. .S. Club Whose Management is an Under- dertaker and His Daughter. A. London cable says: The crusade e.gaines child life insurance has been justi- fied by revelations of the workings of an in- surance club at Oldbury, a town five miles from Birmingham, where many women ore employed in chain -making. The president and treasurer of the organization is an un- dertaker aad his daughter is ',secretary. Both manage the entire busineam A fee of fourpenoe per week insures life and doctor's attendance through illness. The concern pays 50 shillings on the death of a month. old child, .£5 on the death of a husband, £3 on the death of a eland twelve years old, and less amounts in other oases. A very large number of babies have been insured in this somelled club, and the rate of mor- tality among them hos been alarmingly high. It was from Oldbury that a deputa- tion of female ohaimmakers recently waited upon Rome Secretary Matthews to protest against tiny legislative interference with their employment. Ono brawny amezon who spoke for the delegation, in. terrupted the Home Secretary's nicely worded phrases by saying: '1 doesn't want my work taken from me. It doesn't do me no 'arm." These women etre unable to attend to their children and the mortal- ity among them is very high. CHANGED HIS COLOR. Death of a Young Mom From Addlsou's Disease of the Kidneys. A San Francisco despatch says : George L. Sturtevant, a young man, has just succumbed to Addison's disease, his ekin becoming as black AB a negro's. Three years ago, when the disease first manifested itself, Sturtevant's clear skin was his obief claim to beauty. At the time of death his bcdy was perfectly bleak. The first indi- cation of the disease was the appearance on the tongue of a block pigment formation of the size of a pea. Two months after- ward his skin assumed the saffron hue of jaundice. A diagnosis by exports finally established the fact that he had Addison's disease. In the second year his elfin changed to a bronze tint, and in the third year, from the cheot down, he was a dead black. His tongue was also black. He hs.d no pain, and amused himself by read- ing end playing the piano, but complained of great languor. His case had one pecu- liarity never before observed. The majority of potienta die in the second year, but all who have heretofore passed this stop became insane in the third year. Sturte. vent lived the full limit of thee years, but showed no signs of insanity. The dieease is due to tbe decomposition of the outer coating of the kidneye. EXPELLED FROM FRANCE. A Scotch Member of Parliament Ordered Out of the Country. A Calais cable says Mr. R. Cunning hame Graloam, Gladatonion Liberal mem- ber of the British Parliament for North- west Lanarkshire, Scotland, who is promi- nent as a sympathizer with advanced thinkers, hos been expelled from France by the authorities. After attending a Socialist meeting in Paris on Sunday night, on going to Ilia hotel Mr. Graham was informed that Police Commissioner Braemar wiahed to see him in an adjoin- ing room.

Mr. Graham was not allowed to return to hie room to obtain his luggage or to say good.bye to his friends. Tobacco Smugglers Killed.

A Chicago deepateh says: This morning every union switohnian in the employ of the North-Western Railroad, not only in Chicago, but at every other point, was discharged. Thai was done in carrying out the companyai resolve not to allow the switchmen to interfere with the affairs of the road, arta diota,te as to the discharge of yardmautera, etc. For months the com- pany has been preparing for the battle, and has been hiring non-union switchmen all over the country. So quietly has it been doing this work that the union switch- men did not get any inkling until the very last moment of what was going cu. As soon as the local force was discharged, 200 new men were ready to take their places at the attaches. The new -comers were for the most part experienced, and under the supervision of the various division superintendente had no trouble in doing the work. The North-Western offieials are confident of victory, while the discharged men are somewhat dazed at the turn affairs have taken, and have not yet determined upon their policy. TOO BUMPTIOUS. A Grand Duke Who Thinks 7 hat's What's Wrong With the Kaiser. ° A Berlin cable se.ye: Emperor William's recent after-dinner speech, in which he boasted that he alone was mutat in Ger- many, has given great offence aci some of the princes of the older States of the Con- federation. The Grand Duke of Mecklen- burg Streiitz has openly rerasaked in the preeence of officers oi the garrison that the Kaiser overstepped bounds when he called himeelf master of Germany. The grand duchy is noted for it particularism, and the Grand Duke did not order any celebra- tion of the Kaiser's birthday thia year. He considers himself en independent prince, but declines to have tanythiug to do with Prude. The Grand Doke is not alone in his sentiments, and the contrast between the young Kaizer's bumptious oelf-asser- tion and tho mild and conciliatory attitude of his father and grandfather le daily mak.

She hail plenty of coal and pro- visions to carry her to her destination." This remark has given rise to the repott that the Etat& coaled at sea and proceeded to her deetination, while tho Chinon war- ship steamed for Acapulco to throw the United States, authorities off the scent. Et Universal, the only Government organ that has so far made any mention of the arrival of the Eemeralda ab Aciamilco, says that in addition to tbe Esmeralda other Milian warships are expected at Mexican ports.

Q aeen Natalie from Servian territory, went to the latter's • residence to -day, and in spite of her prn. testa compelled her to enter a carriage, which drove towards the quay on the Danube, where the rept" yacht was moored. The news that the ex Queen was really to be expelled from Servia bad in the mean- time spread throughout Belgrade, and Ind reached the studentid quarters. The students promptly turnea out in force, and the carriage containing the exManeen was soon eurrounded by students, who eeized the heroes' heads, brouglst the vehicle to a etandstill, and lonaly caeorea the royal prisoner. Me students then detached the horses from the oarriage and drew the ex Queen, who remained seated in it, back to her resi• deuce, cheering loudly as they passed through the streets. The prefect, assisted by gendarmes, tried to regain posaesaion of the ea.Queen. Several collisions took place between the gendormea and the stridents, bnt the latter came off victorious. Aware pi the strong sympathy felt for Natalie by the opposition party in the Skuptschina and by the public in general, the Government hall the staccato in the vicinity of Natelle'e residence cordoned early in the morning, and the public was excluded from those [streets..

A Berne cable says : General Booth, of the Salvation Army, called upon President Ruolionnett, of the Swiss Federal Council, recently, and unfolded his 'whom for the redemption of the human race through the operations cf the Salvation Army. The nartioular part o? the Army's work that General Booth eadeavored to bring to the President's fevorable attention was the reclamation of tho drunkards of Switzer - band and the reformation of the criminal classes by means of a plan similar to that he advocates in England. M. Rachonnott listeneei silently, but failed to develop any enthusiasm over the project, and it is not likely that the Salvationists will make any headway in Switzerland. They have always been worso treaaea in the little Republic than in any other European country, although the Swiss are largely strong Calvinists. NEW YORK'S RIPPER.

EMPeBOR WILLIM DUELED. • Prreislitnent of Students who Took his Advice and Fought a Duel. A Berlin cable say s: The Kaieerat speech et Bonn in favor of duelling, hes already borne fruit in the sentencing of two • students named Mann anti Leiawiiz to three months' iroprieonment in a fortress for fighting te duel. Ever Since the Kaiser astonished the faculty of Bonn, and law/ - abiding Germans generally, by operating in favor of that which the law condemns as a crime, there has been a marked inoreave of restlessness among the studeute, and also a growing carelessness; 09 to t'ne poseible results of duelling micountere. In several inetences the meal precautions of face an.d arm protection have been diecarded, and duels have been fought with an earnestnees that really meant, blood. Mann and Laidwitz had a quarrel aver a, trivial affair, and made baste to :settle it by a duel. The fight was more thaa 'usually sayaginnaey, the combat- ants not being eatiefied with merely draw. in', blood, but continued the combat with ferocity after each heal been seriously gethed. Under former ointment:aloes the anthoritiee woula have regarded the wounds 08 sulliaient punishment, and pretended to be ienorant of the crime. But since the Kaiser's speech thinge have been getting to saoh a pass as to threaten demoralization, and is :vas thought necessary to administer a lesson. The young men were arrested, roach to the astonishment of themselves and their friends, and oondemned to a penalty thet meene the Ices of the eunamer season. The effect of this penalty is eib ready said to be wholesome, ond public) opinion in Germany generally pproves it. VIOLATED A SHRINE. The Czarowitz Invaded a 'Buddhist Temple With Rio Boots On.

A0' soon ae the rope began to blaze up two or three of the men on the car jumped, one of tttena striking headlong on the rail rind was killed. Befoee the others could alight the fire reached the powder, and there was an instantaneous and appalling exploaion. By *hi 9 time the train hall nearly reached a large nanther of workraen on the third track improvement. The result of the ex- plosiou was terrible. Every part of the oar was wiped out of existenee, and the men on the car were hurled in every direction, ton being killed outright. Several were blown into the river, and their bodies are yet to be recovered. Both tracks were destroyed, telegraph lines were demolished, great holes were torn into the earth, work cars on the eide track were blown away, ansi bonder tif the engine was de misiaed. - Ten dead bodiee were placed on a plat. f orm oar with six of the injured and taken to Tarrytown.

They were all Italian's and known only by their numbers. The leg of one of them had to be amputated, one had an arm taken off, °there were fearfully cut about the head and the face. In two instances the clothes were nearly stripped from the victims. While the doctors were at work the doors of the station Were kept looked. Hun. cireds of people eurrounded the depot and tried to peer through the windows, but were driven back by the police and railroad people by orders of the dociore.
