IS MARRTA GE IN LIVERPOOL A London cable says: A man named Wil hams was recently arrested at Melbourn for murdering a woman. Investigation dis closed the fact that Williams had corn mitted a horrible crime in Liverpool befor going to Australia. The bodies of a woman and her two children, whom the man ha murdered, were found to -day buried unde the hearthstone of the house in which the had lived. The murderer had endeavore to destroy all evidences of his crime by cov ering the body with quicklime, but he wa not entirely successful The house in which the bodies were foun was once occupied by Williams. The bodie first found were wrapped in oilcloth an Turkish towelling. After the three bodie were taken out the police continued thei digging, it being rumored that the bodies o other women or girls who had visited Wil Rams were missing. The excitement cause by the discovery of the first three bodie was great, but it reached fever heat whe the bodies of two other children were foun to have been buried under the house. Th first of the children's bodies was that of girl of 12 years, who had been strangled the segond was that of a girl of 7, the thir that of a boy of 5, and the fourth that of baby about a year old. The throats of th last three victims had been cut. JACK THE RIPPER SUSPECTED. A plausible theory has sprung up from the discoveries of the bodies, and th further the affair is investigated ,th stronger grows the belief that Williams i none other than the world -known "Jac the Ripper." Williams, while a resident o Liverpool, made frequent vieits to London The police have traced his movements be tween the two places, and it has been foun that his visits to Lonion corresponded wit the times that the unfortunate women in Whiteehapel district were found with the throats cut and their bodies niutilated in th shonking manner that characterized. th crimes of the "Ripper." The question wh Williams really is and hew he lived remain a mystery. On his first appearance at Rain hill he stayed at a hotel, where he led rollicking life, being a man with free man nen, with a general style of wealth. H drank plentifully, but not excessively and was always ready for champagm treats. He was fond of society; was a goo story -teller, having travelled much, alnd wa always willingto spin a yarn, but whe melted about himself he immediately becam taciturn. He never gave an inkling of hi personal history. He took photograph from acquaintances, but never had himsel _photographed. A Liverpool newspaper, On the occasion of his marriage to Miss Mather, whom he murdered in Melbourne &Mel to get a sketch of his career, but Wil liams refused to give any information re garding himself. Williams often lef the hotel in the morning and would no return till evening. His clothing and person used to be covered with' dirt and his hands were much blistered. He explained his untidy appearance by saying that he had engaged in putting , down new floors in a house. DISAPPEARANCE OF WOMEN. A laborer has been found who deposes - that -this -statement -was-true.—He saysethat. Williams called upon him to assist in the work of taking up the floors of a kitchen and two other rooms, and hired a plasterer to relay them in cement. These preparations had been completed when the victims came on the scene, and the murders must have been effected without delay. Williams left the hotel to occupy the villa, but in a few days he returned, saying that he -could not sleep there, that his sister and the children had gone to Port Said and that his plans were unsettled. He afterward returned to the villa, but finally came again back to the hotel. He hurried his mar- riage with Miss Mather. In fact he went to stay at her mother's three weeks prior to the ceremony. The mother was eager for the marriage, as Williams made lavish displays of bank notes, nuggets; of • gold and diamond rings. In appearance' the man was not prepossessing. His age was entered on the marriage register as 34, but he looked 44. He had a sallow complexion, and his gait was awkward. He did not take his beide to the villa. He caused a lot of heilvy boxes to be left there, which were afterwards -to be removed to a place un- known. He left at the hotel two travelling bags. These are now being closely exam- ined. There are blood stains inside. The police are tracing the makers of the bags left by Williams. FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS. The kitchen was only searched to -day. The ground under the other rooms will be excavated 6 -morrow. The body of the woman found to -day was fully dressed, ex- cept that a boot and stocking were !hissing. The clothes were of fine quality. The woman had a dark complexion, and short black hair, suggestive of a, half caste. She wore a wedding ring and a keeper. The rope with which she had been strangled was around the neck and the throat was cut besides. The eldest girl's skull was crushed in and the head was nearly severed from the body. The brutality of the murder suggests the ferocity of "Jack -the -Ripper." The work of -concealing the bodies was carried out carefully. After a deep hole had been dug the bodies of the woman and two of the children were thrown in, and cement was poured upon them. Then the boaies of the two elder children were thrown in, and more cement was poured into the hole. Next the flagstones were laid over the top of the hole, and finally over all was applied a layer of six inches of cement extending over the entire kitchen. The discovery of the murders has caused nten se excitement. , Quarrelled Over a Girl. GRAND RAPIDS, MiCh., March. — John Wilson and C.

A despatch from Montreal says: The Brotherhood of Brakemen and the Orcissr of Conductors are negotiating with the Grand Trunk authorities for an advance in svagea. The passenger conductors want $3 a day, and the brakemen $1.75 ; the train baggage - men, $1.90, and the freight conductors, $2.50. Delegates from the two societies 'have interviewed Mr. Wainwright on the matter, and he has promised to Consider the case. It is believed that there willbe an amicable settlement. About 150 men employed in the Grand Trunk shops in Montreal have bee.n dis- charged, owing to the sleekness of work, but it is expected that in a few months there will be plenty of work. All rumors of strike and trouble are without any foundation. The Winnipeg Trouble. A Winnipeg despatch says: For several months the conductors and brakesmen of the Western division of the Canadian Pacific railway have been in negotiation with the company for a readjustment of their wages. The conferences have ceased, and the final answer of the company being unsatisfactory, a general strike was ordered at midnight. The division covers a dis- tance of fifteen hundred miles, from Fort William, at the head of Lake Superior, to Donald in the Rocky Mountains, passing through Manitoba, where there are a num- ber of branch lines, and the Canadian Northwest Territories. The Order of the Railroad' Conductors and the Brotherhood of Trainmen, 600 in number, are involved. The general superintendent was notified in the evening of the action decided on by the men, also intimation was given that all passenger trains would proceed to their destination and the others to the terminal station. No train will be left between terminal points. The trainmen demand the reinstatement of over 100 men discharged within the past few days, and the concession on theepart of the company of the compromised schedule presented on Monday last. The company claims there are only two points in dispute andthe men say there are many, and the latter declare the strike was forced on them by the arbitrary course of the °facials, who called the conductors and brakesmen into their office and asked them to sign a docu- ment not to go on strike and to withdra* from their organizations. On their refusal they were instantly discharged. Mr. Garretson, senior conductor, and Mr. Williamson, Grand Master, Winnipeg, are directing the affairs of the men. THE LIVERPOOL HORROR. Post Mart m Examination and Burial of the Bodies of the Vixtints. A Liverpool cable says: The post mortem examinations of the woman and children, murdered by Deming took place to -day. The operations were visible through the windows to a large crowd around the house. The coroner's inquest, having been formally opened, was adjourned after the relatives of the victims had identified the bodies. The funerals then took place. A vast crowd fol- lowed the hearses to the parish cemetery, where the interments took place. The boxes shipped by Deming have been found at Plymouth. They contain a quantity of women's and children's clothing covered -With blood: ' 'inners Resume Work. LONDON, March. — In accordance with the decision of the Miners' Federation nearly all the coal miners who quit work on the 12th inst., with the exception of the Durham miners, who are not members of the federation, resumed work this morning. In a few cases the miners are still idle. The mine owners insist the men shall remove without payment the falls of earth that have occurred during the week of their self- imposed idleness. This the men refuse to do. In other collieries there is some friction in consequence of the federation's decision to limit work to five days a weeks The strikers in Durham who quit work, not with any idea of causing an advance in the price of ,coal, but with the intention of resisting a threatened reduction in wages, number 92,000. The newspapers predict that in this district there will be a pro- tracted struggle between the men and their employers. A large number of the miners are immigrating to other mining countries, and many ,of them are going to America. Several of the mines in Durham are likely to be seriously damaged by the continued inflow of water, the owners being unable to obtain a sufficient number of men to prop- erly work the pumps. All the Nottingham miners, numbering 23,000, resumed work quietly at the usual hour this morning. As .a result of the resumptiereof mining operations the price of coal in the district declined 3s. per ton. A Baby Killed by a Rat. Loewe, March — At Bow, London, yesterday an inquest was held on the body of Alfred Birch, three weeks old. Mrs. Birch deposed that on Monday last she placed the child in the cradle mid afterward heard it shriek. On going into the room she found a rat with its teeth fastened in the child's nose. The baby's face was smothered in blood and the child, -becoming very weak, died on Wednesday. The rat was found behind a box and killed. A ver - diet of "Accidental death" was returned.

This malignant disease has beenenore or less prevalent all winter and is spreading. There have been several deaths and a good many cues. When it first started it might easily have been stamped out, but the rigid quarantining rules laid down by the Government were wholly unheeded. Three at a Birth. CIII.If.TENHA M.

The Vienna Servant Girl Murderer Im- paled Alive. Horrible Scene at Schneider's Execution— " Have Mercy, My God, 1 Will Tell All." Ile Shrieked—But His -Cries Were Smothered by the Executioner. VIENNA, March. — Frank Schneider, the murderer of servant girls, was executed here to -day. The scene on the scaffold was most horrible. Schneider's sallow face looked almost green as he was led to death. A priest attended him, and he had to be almost lifted . to the scaffold.. Schneider shrieked out, as the executioner took hold of him, "Have mercy! My God, I will tell all." The priest urged the wretched man to think of heaven. The executioner teking a tight hold of Schneider raised him three steps to a spike that was fixed to a stake. The spike came to a sharp point after the manner of the Turks in impaling criminals. The executioner and his assistant lifted up the miserable being, while he kept uto ' his shrieks for mercy. They held his limbs apart and impaled him living on the spike. They pressed him down until the spike had entered six inches. While Schneider was undergoing this horrible torture, one assist- ant of the executioner held his legs and another his arms. The chief executioner pressed his arms around Schneider's mouth and nostrils, smothering his shrieks, and the wretch died after about four minutes of agony. A crowd of witnesses were pres- ent in the jail yard, and were horrified at the horrible spectacle. TRIPPED ON A SPINSTER. A Matrimonial Sharper, Whose Specialty Was Widows. Captured in New York. A Pittsburg despatch says: P. Denton, who married Mrs. M. Walker, of Mansfield, in Pittsburg on Oct. 21st last, and ran away a day later aftei getting $300 from her, is under, arrest in New -York for a similar matrimonial venture. Denton, who is 'under arrest as James Taylor, won his Pittsburg bride with stories of his wealth. He said he was a rieh Cali- fornian and induced her to sell her little property to go west with him. The couple spent a night at the St. James Hotel and in the -morning Denton took $300 belonging to his wife and went out to buy tickets. He never returned. On November 21st, 1891, under gee name of James Taylor, he married Henrietta Coste, a French woman, 38 years old, who owns a hair -dressing. establishment at 51 East TwentY-first street, New York. He told her that he owned a large orange grove at To.ylorsville, Cal., and that he was very rich. Being, as she thought, a shrewd woman, and seeing a good change to step into a position of wealth, she was ,married to him by Ald. Flynn, after a few days' acquaintance, and they went to Niagara Falls on their wedding tour. On their way he contrived to get possessionof $850, which she had drawn from. the bank before leaving New York, at his instigation, and two dia- mond rings. Denton gave the woman the slip at Niagara Falls, but ehe put detectives on his track and he was captured in New York Friday night. He had $650 of his wife's money and the two diamond rings left. From papers on his person it appeared that heagaa about to marry Mrs. Julioa.E. John- son, a widow with considerable property, and had also been corresponding with two other women. Taylor has only one arm and tells numer- ous stories about how he lost the other. He was married in Chicago • a year ago tinder -the name of Tume to ,a widow, wham he fleeced out of $2,000. A Consummate Villain. ADELAIDE, March. — Ever since the arrest of Frederick Deeming, alias Wil- liams, and perhaps a dozen other names, evidence has been coming to light in various parts of the world that he is one of the most consummate villains that the annals of crime have furnished. It appears probable the man has been guilty of crime in every place in which he has ever lived of recent years. The police of this -city have identi- fied him as the author of a robbery that was committed here in 1888. At that time he was living in Adelaide under the alias of Ward. The day after the robbery was 'committed Deeming, accompanied by his wife and childien, sailed for St. Helena en route to Capetown.' At the time of his flight his wffe was in a delicate condition, and she was :confined before she reached Capetown. William Not at All Well.. NEW YORK, ' March. — The •Herald's Paris despateh says: The situatiort in Germany is still ominous and continues to be the subject of conversation in the official circles of Europe. It is stated on unques- tionable authority that in spite of all state- ments US the contrary, the Emperor is really very ill. He is suffering, not from catarrh, but from an abscess in his ear—the worst which he has ever had. His physicians have been v'ery uneasy and have prescribed for him absolute repose. In reply to a question from Queen Victoria the Prussian court has explained that such repose was nedessary on aceount of "very intense cere- bral anaemia, followed by pain." It can be readily understood that the word cerebral has given rise to mauy. comments. Bismarck is sick. BE111..tx, March. — Prince Bismarck is suffering from a sudden attack of Mmes.

THE HIGHEST OFFICIALS ON THE SITUATION A special despatch from Montreal to th Globe says: "The Grand Trunk Railwe Company is more than half threatened wit a strike, and for days members of th Brotherhood of Trainmen and Order of Con (lectors representing various seetions o the road have been in session. The dele gates, about 30 in all, had several importan conferences with the higher ofticials o the road and formulated a series of demand to -which the management found themselve unable to accede. Their two leadin demands were first an increase of pay fo all classes of trainmen, which woul bring the pay of passenger conductor up to $3 per day, of freight conductor to $‘150, of baggagemen to $1.90 and o brakemen to $1.75. These days, of course mean "trip days," which varies accord ing to the district in which the run is performed and the class of work done. In the case of passenger conductors the " day ', means a run of 150 miles, while in the case of freight men it is based upon a run of ten hours. The second demand was that in future the trip should be based upon a run of eight hours instead of ten, and the third • and most important was to the effect that the present system of grading each class of employees from the novice to the expert 'should be abolished and that in future every employee in each class be placed upon one and the same footing as regards pay and allowances. The Globe correspondent to -day interviewed the highest officials of the company and learned that the reply to the men wasthat in the present condition of businessany advance in wages was out of the question. At the last half -yearly meeting of the sharehold- ers the dividend on several classes of securi- tied had to be passed,and as during the pre- sent six months the receipts of the road had rather diminished than increased, it was manifestly iinpossible to Suggest any addi- tion to the running expenses, The com- pany were, however, willing to grant a small increase to the passenger conductors and to correct certain inequalities in the measurement of runs which the delegates had brought under their notice. To the second demand of the men the managers replied that they could, not see their way clear as yet to accept an eight-hour day. as it was merely another form of demandingan increase of pay. To count overtime for trainmen from eight hours, instead of from ten, would mean an increase of 25 per cent. in wages, which the road in the present condition of traffic could not afford. Their third demand, involving, as it did, the reversal of the principles upon which the Grand Trunk has been run since its inception, was else impossib e of concession. To admit the principle that merits of every employee in each separate class were precisely similar, is opposed to the traditions of the road. The custom has always been to place new ,and untried men in the loivest grade of their class and to pro- mote them gradually to the higher grades in proportion to their efficiency. In every branch of railioading there are certain men whose ,natural capabilities render them especially valuable to the road. To drag these men down to the level of their less efficient brethren woulclbemanifestly unfair, while to elevate the latter to their class would be absurd. These replies, said the interviewed, will be laid by the dele- gates before the members of their respec- tive districts, and from the courteous tone of both the parties to the discussion ie is - evident that' there is not the slightest prospect 'of any friction between the men and their employers, and that any rumors as to a possible' strike are utterly without foundation. The employees of the Grand Trunk are well treated, and, although their wages appear small compared with the American standard, they are as well paid as any class of skilled labor in Canada. The trouble is that the men contrast the wages they receive with those paid to similar em- ployees in the United States without taking into consideration the difference in the cost of living on the two sides of the line and this makes there ^fancy themselves under- paid, when tbe fact is they are practically receiving fully as much ,as their American brethren. However, the management be- lieve that they are too loyal to the road to cause any trouble, but nevertheless the ac- tions cif the various district assemblies upon, the reports aubmitted by their delegates will be awaited with some degree of anxiety by all interested,insrailroad matters. .f Mrs. Osborne May Die. LONDON, March. — The friends of Mrs. Florence Ethel Osborne, whose sentence was a term of nine months'imprisonment for perj ur in y connection with the great pearl case, have good grounds for their fears that • she will not live to serve out her sentence.. Her coedition has been such that before her i trial and after her condemnation she was I confined in the infirmary attached to the ' Holloway model jail.

To -day it is announced front the prison that she is in a comatose condition. THE WEDDING TH4T WASN'T. He Was a Perfect Man But Nobody Lovedm Ill. A year or two aeo there lived in Con- necticut a MEW so superior that in his pres- ence all nature was ill at ease. Birds were ashamed of their frivolity and hid their heads when they saw him coming. Dogs blushed -for their aimless lives. it is re- ported that a pair of horses once tendered hini an apology for not joining the church. He never touched 'alcohol or tobacco, or paid foolish things or rested his elbows on the table, or played cards, or used Wen ex- pressions. He never encouraged an ody in anything for fear they might sin in oing it. When he smiled it was with one side of the mouth at a time. Having no faults he 'was detested by all who knew him, but as no one dared confess this, each Sup- posed the others loved him. Of course he was wealthy. The gentle maiden he was to marry ago detested him, but without ,fully realizing it, for she had been repeat- edly congratulated by her parents on her good fortune in securing the love of such a Perfect Man, ad she was too well brought up to doubt their statements. When the wedding day arrived every pew in the village church was full. Now it happened all by chance that Pin- feather Presto, a fairy of American parent- age, was floating lazily along beneath the village elms that morning disguised‘ -as blue -bottle fly. When he neared the aurch he saw at once some wedding was afoot, and he said to himself : "Here's for a look at her. I always did love a bride !" and he sailed boldly through the open door. Fly- ing straight over the heads of the people until he was well in front, he looked about and then sat himself on the chancel rail. The great organ was pouring fourth a wedding march, and all eyes were turned eagerly toward the entering bride. She was pretty, but very pale, and it seemed to Mr. Pin-, feather Presto that, were it not for her father's arm, she would have sunk to the floor. A glance at the groom, and he recog- nized at,once the Perfect Man. "That ex. plains it !" he •n -uttered angrily. " He'll nag her to death with his beastly goodness, and she knows it !" As his eyes fell again upon her unhappy face, his soul revolted at the sacrifice. " It's a shame !" he mut- tered ; " end *hat's more, I'll stop it !"Then, acting upona quick resolve, be buzzed away to a distant corner of the church, mand disappeared behind a col - un. In less than twenty seconds he emerged, this time as a beautiful golden. haired boy,- just big enough to run about. 7the clergyman had begun the ceremony, and there was a solemn hush upon the con- gregation. Suddenly all earn were startled by a child's voice, and all eyes were turned upon the beautiful boy, as he ran swiftly up the aisle. Then the Perfect Man felt a pair of chubby arms clasped tightly about his • knees, and heard in a clear voice that pene- trated every corner of the church : "-Papa, mamma says 'oo mustn't have anuzzer wife." A thrill ef horror swept over the con- gregation. The bride swooned dead away and. hung limp on her father's arm. The Perfect Man pushed rudely away'the beau- tiful boy, and his own surprise and horror were taken for the embarrassment he would naturally display at the discovery of his guilt. All was tumult and confusion among the assembled friends, who quickly left the church to talk it over. in each other's houses. A more enjoyable horror was never experienced in that particular village.he T maiden afterward married the faulty young man she really loved, and' they are still living happily together. The beautiful boy was never seen again, and to this day is believed to have- been murdered by his father, who finally drowned himself to escape the contempt of his neigh - bora. —Life. the t Threat.
