She Find Read AH About tho Central Park tragedy and Took a tose of Purls Green. fnng nnd Hade Jlerry Before Killing Herself. Annie Kuberiskl, a pretty German girl, 19 years old, died lato last night in horrible agony from the effects of a dose of paris green taken with suicidal intent in the 'home of Fritz Steinhausca, 681 Blackweli street, Astoria. Annie was employed by tho Pauly family of 321 East Fifty first street, Now York, and on Sunday afternoon last dressed herself in her host clothes and went to Astoria where, upon arriving at the house ot her friends, she talked much about tho many suicides of late in Central park. Sho told the Stelnhausens, who little thought that the girl contemplated suicide, that the death of the recent park suicides must have been lovely.

Mr. and Mrs. Steinhauson thought little of Annie's talk and for several hours afterward Annie sang and mado merry. Later In the evening tho Stelnhausens became alarmed. Annie came into the sitting room from the kitchen and fell upon tho floor.

She was violently 111 and writhed in such agony that Dr. Andersen was summoned and at once pronounced his patient suffering from poison. The doctor did all In his power to alleviate the girl's suffering until late last night death ended it. Annie, her friends say, bore a good reputation and no cause can be assigned for the rash act. She was an unusually good looking girl and had largo brown eyes and an abunSance of dark raven hair.

Her only living relative in this country is sister named Gertrude, who is believed to reside somewhere In Brooklyn. The girl left no clow as to any reason for the rash act. She always appearod happy and expected the arrival of her mother from Rotterdam on Thursday, to whom she recently sent enough money to como to this country. Coroner Benjamin G. Strong of Long Island City had the body taken to Hallett's undertaking establishment and is making an investigation.

Among the girl's effects a pocketbook was found containing $17. AFTER LODGING IIOUSR THIEVES. JTiMtice Qiilarley Jiociartu SIimelf and Nets a. Severe SUtndurd. When A.

Several of your stripe havo committed murders in this city and I propose to do what I can to bead tho rest of you off." Then ho awtirded Miller tho limit a year in the penitentiary.

He said that according to hia interpretation of tho law the railroad eompany had considerably more than a majority of the onseats which it is necessary to sooure Irom the Droperty owners.

SOLDIERS CUT TO PIECES. Startling News FromWest Africa, by Way of Paris The French Garrison. After Thrc Days' Desperate Fighting, Went Down Before the Arabs and All Were Sinnghtered The Second French Disaster Since tho Occupation of Tlmbnctoo. Paris, August 28 Startling news has reached here from Senegal, West Africa. According to a report received at St.

Louis, the French garrison at Tlmbnctoo, after three days' desperate fighting with the Tauregs and othor hostile tribes, which have been investing that city for a long time past, made sortie and were out to plece3 by the Arabs. This news from Senegal has caused consternation in many circles as, if true, it is the second Berious disaster the French have met with in tho vicinity of Timbnctoo, since that important Soudanese town was occupiod by them early during the present year. A French column, commanded by Colonel Bannier, arrived at Timbuetoo on January 10, and two dnyB later, a detachmont of troops, with Colonel Bnnnier at their head, accompanied by Commandant Huguony and the entire staff, started out on a reoonnoitorlng expedition, leaving Captain Philippe ns senior captain in charge of the post at Timbuetoo. This French detaohment in soma manner never fully explained to the public, was surprised, asleep, in camp, at Bongol, two hours' march north of Goundam and three days' maron from Timbuetoo. The Arabs, chiefly Tauregs, mounted and on foot, aud armed with lances and knives, en terod tho French camp by several sides, during the darkest hours ot early morning, and overturned the staoked arms in front of the sharpshooters, who, when aroused, were unable to seize thoir rifles in time to detend themselves successfully.

The Abrabs massacred nearly the entire detaohment, consisting of the Fifth and Eleventh companies of Soudanese sharpshooters. A Frenoh officer, Captain Nlgotte, though seri.usly wounded in the in escaping to a platoon of so'ldieSBp; eome yards behind the main camp, to gtrard some capturad flooks. This platoon was under tho command of Lieutenant Sards. It retreated to Timbuetoo, bringing with It a few wounded men who had escaped the massacre at Dougoi. The Tauregs pursued the retreating soldiers nnd practically Invested Timbuetoo, which Captain Philippe made haste to defend, pending the arrival ol reinforcements.

It is, in all probability, part of the force of Captain Philippe and Colonel Joffre which has. according to the advices from Senegal, been cut to places by the Arabs. It is believed that the garrisen of Timbuetoo has, slnca tho Joffre column arrived there, beon again reinforced. LEFT JAIL I.N A CARRIAGE. the IHan Wlio Mode Himaelf at Home in HI on.

A SHOWER OF OLD SHOES Awaited the Bridal Pair's Return to Coney Island. Kay the Stately and Oscar Sherry, Manager a Horse Went to York Jo Cot Lnst Night There Was Pandemonium When They Got Back. Inman's casino at Coney Island has been full of sensations this year. About three weeks ago Pearl Inman ran away to marry Jack McAuliffe and now Ray Malcolm, the leading woman of the Forresters' burlesque company, now playing at Iiuuan'a hus gone and dono likewise. Karly yesterday morning Ray left Coney Island in company with Oscar Sherry, the manager of Professor Gleason'a horse show.

They went straight to tho residence of tho Rev. F. J. Schneider, on Second avenue, New York, best known to fame as tho marrying parson, and the deed was done. In the meantime, the news that Sherry and Ray had gone to New York together leaked out, and preparations were made to give the blushing bride a warm reception.

A number of tho leading soubrcttes from the other concert halls were invited in, and an army of about thirty of as lively and interesting young women as could be found in a day's walk were gathered together. By unanimous consent May Smilax of the Smilax sisters was chosen lender. A descent was mado upon the nearest grocery, and his entire stock of rice was purchased. A general search was made through wardrobes for ancient foot wear, and with the ammunition thus procured piled up at convenient places they waited. At about 11 o'clock a scout reported the approach of the wedding pair.

They were received with a perfect shower of rice, old shoes and congratulations. An attempt to escape was cleverly frustrated by a flanking party of alx, headed by the buxom Anna Sinilax. Ray and Oscar were caught from behind and forced to run through a double gauntlet of soubrettes and be pelted with rice at the end of the line. Ray was taken prisoner, while all the rest of the army fell upon Oscar, each vicing with tho other to be the first to throw ber arms around his neck and give a hearty hug and kiss These preliminaries past the revels began. A keg of beer was first in order.

This degener ated into a stronger beverage and finally wine was ihe order of the hour, until, when it came time for the show to begin no ono knew whether be or she was playing Shakspoare or Gilbert and Sullivan. When it was time for Ray to go on in the burlesque she dnulared that the day for her appearing In tights had passed. Henceforth she must appear, if at all. In longer skirts a little longer, at least as a tribute to the dignity of her new estate. The matter was finally compromised, by letting the skirt out an inch, and everything went on swimmingly again.

Such a reception as Ray enjoyed is seldom seen on Coney Island. She Is a strikingly handsome woman, tall, of a brunette type, and when in tights was the prido of Inman's casino. She is well known on Coney Island, having "acted" there for several seasons. It was Ray who fixed the professional standard of dignity, some two years ago. while she was leading woman at Count Vaccus' casino, where, after some quarrel over tines, which reduced her salary materially, she wound up her protest to him in these words: "If you think that I am working here for tho money I receive, you are thinking through your shoes.

I am working hero simpiy for the benefit of my health. Why, I'm a performer and have made your bouse. When you say that I deserved to be fined, you are talking through the annholes of your vest, and you know it." Vacca was discomfited and at onco ordered the Cues remitted. JIRSi. FATD.ER IN LAW.

ONE OF TOE STRANGEST CASES ON RECORD. Desperately In Love With a Woman Who Has but One Eye and Only One Tooth Mrs.

ftlchl Ing Is Tall and Gaunt an Has Been Sent to Jail for Fltrhtlnjr, but Her Boarder CouMn't Live Without Her Wouldn't Elope With a Week's Acquaintance. John J. Huber, a Frenchman, living at the boarding houoo kept by Mra. Louisa Mehling at 102 Scholos street, attempted to shoot his landlady yesterday afternoon. He did not injure her seriously, but he followed his attempt at murder by a successful attempt at suicide.

Huber was 53 years of ago and a glassblower by trade. Hl3 wife died about a year ago and some two months ago Huber went to live with Mrs. Mehling, his four children being grown up enough to take care of themselves. Mrs. Mehling is 42 years of age nnd has two sons and a husband who is a truck driver, but these facts did not doter Hubor from making love to the landlady.

His action In so doing is inexplicable to all who know Mrs. Mehling, except on tho pro sumption that love Is blind. She is well known around the Ewen street police court, having been sent to Jail more than once by Justice Watson for quarreling with her neighbors, and Judge Goetting once sent her to Jail for twenty nine days. She is tall and gaunt and has only one eye. She Is entirely toothless, except for one jagged molar that looms up threateningly whenever she frowns.

She did not frown this morning when telling the reporter how tho shooting occurred, but there was just the faintest suspicion of a blush mantling her cheek as she described how Hubor had proposed an elopement. Huber bothered Mrs. Mehling with his attentions for some time, and finally about three weeks ago her husband bad a fight with Huber. Huber continued his attentions, but that did not disturb Mrs. Mehling so much as the fact that he did not pay his board, so last Saturday she told him to leave.

Huber cried at this and told Mrs. Mehling that he could not live if separated from her. She was obdurate, however, and yesterday she insisted that ho should leave. Hubor went across the street and took a drink with the woman's husband, and on parting with him shook hands and said that he'd never see him again. Mehling supposed that Huber was going away.

Huber went right back to the boarding house and went down in the cellar where Mrs. Mehling was washing dishes. "Goodby, Louisa, mein liebchen," he said. "Will you not come with mo to Pittsburg," he continued speaking in German. "Get out of here," said Mrs.

Mehling. "See, I have some money to live on," pleaded Huber, displaying rolls of bills. "Geh da naus" was all that Mrs. Mehling would deign In reply. Huber then drew a revolver and said he would shoot her.

She screamed and ran and Huber fired. The bullet hit her In the sido, but she kept on running and Huber fired twice more, but neither of the bullets took effect. She ran up the front steps of the cellar and told a man named Meyer what had occurred. Meyer went down In the cellar and Hubor, seeing him coming, ran up the rear steps of the cellar, and standing at the top of tho steps he placed the still smoking revolver at his neck and fired. The bullet coursed upward and entered the brain and Huber fell down the steps to the cellar floor.

A crowd had collected outside, to whom Mrs. Mehling explained the tragedy. The bullet that had struck her had been turned aside by the steel ribs in her dress. There were holes in the waist just below the heart. The bullet struck a glancing blow, else she would probably have been killed.

Mrs. Mehling took her narrow escape In a most unconcerned way, and after Huber's body had been removed she washed the blood stain from the cellar floor and steps, and this morning she explained the tragedy to a reporter with considerable interest, pointing to the spots in the brick wall where the bullets had struck. "What did you say when he asked you to elope?" asked the reporter. Mrs. Mehling laughed as she replied, "I tell him I haf a man alretty, and dat I would not run away mlt a man vat I haf known only von veek." Huber's body was taken to Rouff's under "taking establishment and will be buried from there with his insurance money, hi3 life having been insured in one of tho industrial companies.

How it Hnpponed That the Austrailtin Gave His Antagonist mack Eye nnd Miy I Didn't Fizlit ns Fast and Furiously Toward Hie End of the Encounter ns lie Did at the Keglnnlng There Is Already Talk or Anollicr Hatch Between the Pair.

After tho great 'fight nt Conoy Island last night a soloot party gathered in McAuliffe's drosslngroom. The victor lay at full length on a cot, scantily clad. He was busily engaged reducing a handsomely colored lump on his left eye by frequent applications of warm milk from a basin near at hand. Tho milk was beginning to show Its beneficial ofTect on the radlnat eyo and tho prostrate gladiator wus correspondingly happy. Presently a piping English nocout wns heard.

"Hi say boys, I'm going to se Mae nnd sing 'ira. a bit of a song before goin' to bed." "Here comes Griffo," romarked some ono in tho room. "Givo me my trousers," yelled McAuliffe; tjut before bo could get thorn ou to ruceivo nis guost tho feather blew in through tho door. 'Say, Mae, mo old boy, don't oher know I told yer I'd be in tho light to see you. Wore old pals yet, hain wor exclaimed tho littlo victor.

Griflo's nppcnrniiue was greeted with shout ol laughter from the entire company. A shart linen duster reached to tho tops of a pair of shoes, which ho had imported from his native innd. Compared with McAuliffe, on the cot he seemed to be about half the Brooklynito's size. Ho emiled good humoredly and with extended hand rattled hia greeting off so fast that tho surprised listeners could no nothing but roar. McAuliffe laughed with the rest and shook the hand of thu comical looking little fellow, heartily.

"I'm gind to seo you, Griffo," salu McAuliffe, and I'd like to have you tell mo how you gavo mo this eye. Bid you do it with your elbow?" "Wall, now Mac, I like that. With me elbow! Why, me dear boy, don't you romembor at tho end of the third round, when you led with your left, that 1 crossed you?" "Maybe that was it," said McAulIfte. "Well, indeed. I guess maybo it was," said Griffo.

"Yeu've got few soro spots on those llttlo ribs of yours, though, my man," said McAulill'e. 'Here's the proof thut I haven't a mark on mo body," and with these words the feather threw off hi3 linen duster. "There's no spot thore is there, me dear boy?" Not a murk was visible. "But I'll tell you what it Is, Mac, you were hatter mo glass ear. l)n't you know how I told you a day or two ago about ma glass ear and you snld you'd take It off in the light Tho ear is there yet.

Mao." Griffo snapped his linger on the right brnneh ot his hearing apparatus to demonstrate bis statemunt. "I'm not saying a word about the dnoulon, Mac," continued Griffo, "I'm not going to complain a bit about that." "How is it you didn't flgbt so fast nt the end os you did at llrst?" Inquired MeAulilTe. "I can lick tho little ones, Mac; but, you sob, this light I agreed to when I was under the in lluence, you understand. At the last I was a bit shy. I was thinking you had it up your sloove for me.

Really, Mao, I came in to sing you asong; so hare goox." In a clear.tenor voice Griffo entertained the company with a couple of English ballads and then, with a hearty "Good night" nil around, he skipped out as lightly as he cares in. Hugh Behnn, Griffo's backer, will confer with McAuliffe's managers at Jimmy Carroll's place at Coney Island this ufteruoou, with a vlow to arranging another matcli betweou the two men. It i said that MoAuliffe told Griffo after tho light lost night that ho would like to light Dim again at 130 pounds. It is proposed to havo the next match take place before the new Atlantic Athletic club at the Sea Bench palace within six weeks. The articles will call tor ten rounds at pounds.

This arrangement will compel McAuliffe to train mora carefully bolora facing the Australian again. Tho board of directors of the Atlantic Athletic club will meet on Thursday afternoon to consider tho action takn by the managers of McAuliffe and Griffo to day. Jerry Marshall, Griffo's Australian rival, will appear In one of the preliminary bouts. Mayor Sebioren said to day that he had seat for Police Commissioner Welles to talk with him about the lights at Coney Island last night, in order to ascertain whether or not they wore exhibitions of brutality. Tho commissioner was there for the purpose of determining thai.

Tho mayor also said that ho supposed ho should have to give a lioonse to the Atlantic Athletic elub, under tho decision of Judge Gaynor in tho other ease. Ho did not propose to give Judge Gaynor another opportunity to mandamus him in these matters. The law department had advised hhu to aoeept the situation and he had accepted it. If lie had his way he would stop all suoh exhibitions as those witnessed at the island last night. DEATH OF LUDLOW THOMAS.

No such question as this, however, arises in the present case. The only effort here is to insist upon a condition which thu legislature has made a precedent to the exer clso of a privilege.

It will be time, enough to decide whether the state can force a child to attend school, and force him to be vaccinated as a prerequisite to such attendance, when an oflicer attempts such a proceeding. I may add that the point upon which this case turns Is very different from that which was before Mr. Justice Gaynor, in the matter of Smith and Cummings, where the commis roslra'ned the petitioners from their lib rty until they consented to bo vaccinated, although the legislature had conferred no such power upon him Application denied.

The Pavilion, a large summer hotel at Woodsburgh, was suddedly "closed for the season" last Monday. This wholly unexpected move and tho hurried departure of the guests on the day preceding caused much speculation. Charles A. Oakes, th proprietor, was nowhere to be found' and Clerk W. N.

Blinn and tho help employed In tho hotol were uncommunicative. The continued absence from town of Mr. Oakes and tho appearance of several strangers who wero anxious to soo him and manifested a great Interest in his affairs further excited the curiosity of Woodsburgh. It finally leaked out that Oakes had fled, leaving an empty larder and a swarm of unpaid servants and waiters. Tho help took in the situation at a glance, and realized that it would be a case of whistle for thoir money.

They had been informed by tho clerk that a week's board was due from most of the guests and this they decided to collect and turn to their own account before any trunk was allowed to be taken from tho house. Somo paid without a murmur and took the head waiter's receipt. Others paid under protest, while a few declined to be further insulted, as they chose to demands of tho waiter.

President Cleveland's Letter lo Kr. Cntchlntrs Sharply Criticised by Senator White of Call fornla, Who Fays "It Will Give Us a Hard Fight In November" Others Are Plensecl With Hie Expression They Claim the People Are With tho President. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. August 28 This morning when the curtain was rung up for the last time on the first session of the Fifty third congress Speaker Crisp and Vice President Stevenson were greeted with a beggarly array of empty benches. The farewell scenes were quiet and subdued.

The Democrats looked grave and disheartened, the Republicans Jubilant. The great effort that was made to induce the President to sign the tariff bill and the failure of that effort was freely commented upon by members of the majority. The views expressed were varied and opposing. Senator Whtto of California said to the' Eagle correspondent: "I can not understand what induced the President to write that, letter to Mr. Catch ings.

It will give usp. jiard fight in November: The letter is an Indorsement of Mr. Reed's statement at Old Orchard on Saturday that the business men and manufacturers of the country need not expect that the present tariff legislation would be a settlement of the subject, that on the contrary, it was only the beginning of the fight for free trade. I am afraid this will array against us tho business and manufacturing interests, particularly in the North and East. Before leaving for Saratoga Senator Gorman told me that the President would certainly write such a letter.

I had hoped, however, that he would have deferred a further expression of opinion until oongress reconvened in December." On the other hand. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Maxwell and other ardent tariff reformers are pleased with the letter. They ay that, in their opinion, the people of the country are with the President in his desire for a better tariff reform measure than the Gorman bill, that they are sick and disgusted with the victory of the trusts and will show by their votes In November that they are in earnest and determined Upon tariff reform. They accept the gage of battle thrown down by the President and are willing and ready to begin again the fight. Some idea of the depression that hung like a pall over congress to day may be learned from the following remarks of a Democratic member: "Last December," he said, "when congress assembled for the regular session, I Immediately formed a picture of the closing scenes of the house a picture full of life, peopled with enthusiastic Democrats throwing up their hats and singing hosannas of praise and rejoicingfor I figured the session would close with a thorough revision of the tariff laws and a ringing message from the President congratulating oongress and the country upon the result; something we could carry into our districts and read to the people and let them rejoice over.

Instead we part in silence and steal away among our constituents to apologize and to answer, if we can deny, the charges made against the tariff act by our own leaders." There was no legislation of any importance to day, the only nctable incidents being tho tall of Vice President Stevenson's and Speaker Crisp's gavels. Since the failura of the senate to confirm A. Augustus Healy collector of internal revenue for the First New York district, Presidont Cleveland has received a number of letters from New York and Brooklyn him to at once appoint Mr. Healy to hold the office, for which ho was nominated several months ago, during the interim until congress reconvenes. This he will probably do, although he has not as yet made up his mind.

Promptly at 2 o'oloek Doth houses of congress were declared adjourned sine die. MIGHT HAVE liEKX HIS SWEETHEART, In Which Case, Itlicitaol fifl ad a Lover's Right to Cares Rachel.

"Where's the girl?" tho court asked. "She must swear to the complaint." "I haven't seen her since the assault was committed," Manses replied.

"I think she's keeping oot of the way to avoid publicity." "Well, you can't swear positively that the young woman was not willing that the accused should caress her." "I don't think she was. your honor." "She may have been his sweetheart. Did she tell you to apply for a warrant for his arrest." "No, sir; but I thought I ought to do it for the publie good." "lou can't support suoh a charge without her testimony. I would have to hear her side of the story before I issued a warrant" WliISIiKK'S KOSKI CAUSES TBOUBLK.
