32 PACKER SENIORS IN COMEDY. FILLED BILL PASSED. BARON VON SCHRADER DEAD, SHARP TALK BETWEEN RABBIS GOLD IN FACTORY SWEEPINGS. SHE MAY BE MISS KOEH ESLEIN. TROPHY WILL GO TO THE 23D.

THE PI DELTA KAPPA RENDERS "THE LADIES' BATTLE." A capital Tendering of the three act comedy "The Ladies' Battle," was given last evening by Beta chapter of the PI Delta Kappa, which Is composed of members of the senlo clsss of Packor collegiate institute. In the chapel of that building, before a largo audience of relatives and friends of the performers. The comedy, a translation from the French, was written by Scribe and Legouve. The performance was given under the direction of Miss Altmuller, one of the teachers. The story deals with the love of the Countess D'Autreval and her niece.

Leonie de la Vllleprontier, for Henri de rinvlgneul, who is accused of being a conspirator against the crown and Is concealed in the chaiteau of the countess disguised as a servant. The Baron de Moutrlchard. prefect of police, and a protege of the countess, learns that the fugritve is hiding In the castle, and after vainly endeavoring to Induce the countess to reveal the secret and betray De Flavignetil, who Is the son of an old friend, determines to use every means in his power to secure his prisoner. Ho Is outwitted by the Ingenuity of the countess, aided by Gus'tave de Grinon, who is madly In love with the countess and desires to pr.ive his affection by a heroic act. De Grinon has inherited his mother's courage and tt the same time a good deal of his father's timid nature.

He is bravar In imagination than reality, only keeping his courage up to the point when inspired by the countess' presence. He allows himself to be arrested under the name of de Flavigneul, who is sent across the frontier and is condemned to die. Before the execution of the sentence and on the return of the real de Flavigneul, who will not let an innocent man die for him. the prefect who has learned of the trick turns the tables by procuring the pardon of de Flavigneul under a general amnesty for political offenders. The countess finding that her niece Is madly in love with the youth, sacrifices her own feelings and induces de Flavigneul to believe that he is bound to Leonie and they are be trathed.

The time of the play is that of the first empire and the scene was laid In the drawingroom of the chateau. Miss Webster, as the countess, was especially good and Miss Adele Walton took the part of the prefect admirably. 'Miss Muns. as Gtistave de Grinon. however, made the hit of the evening and was greeted with frequent bursts of applause for her fine Impersonation of the half brave, half cowardly baron, who, as he said himself, was at once a lion and a mouse.

Miss Heuermann took the part of the lovo sick Leonie excellently and Miss Paffard. as the gallant De Flavigneul. won deserved recognition, proving almost as much of a favorite wlrth the audience as Miss Muns. Miss McCartee and Miss Botes were very acceptable dragoons and Miss Thompson made the most of the small part of the servant. The introductory 'remarks were made by Miss Maud Wilson, of the class of 'flG who assured ler hearers that the conflict would net be very fierce as it was only a "ladies battle." All the performers were the recipients of numerous floral tributes.

A string orchestra concealed in the wings rendered selections between the acts. The ushers were members of the senior class and all carried clusters of daffodils, the class flower. Those who acted in this capacity were Miss Beck. Miss Bliss. Miss Baehr.

John L. Waller, formerly United States con sul to Tamatave, Madagascar, who arrived from England yesterday morning on the American line steamship New York, told his story late in the afternoon, at the house of a friend, 127 West Seventeenth street. Any reputable American, Mr. Waller said, could have secured such a concession as he did from the Madagascar government, prorid ed as liberal a money stipulation was made for it as he made. The Waller concession consists of 225 square miles or 144.000 acres of land on the southeastern coast of Madagas car, the most healthy part of the whole Island About one half of the land is covered with valuable timber, mahogany, rosewood teak, ebony, very much of the land is rolling prairie and about 20,000 acres of it is excellent agricultural land "The most of the rubber from Madagascar for the last few years," said Mr.

Waller, "was taken from this concession, and the rubber Is the fires: quality, the pink kind." Mr. Waller estimates the value of the land to he about S4, 000, 000. He believes In a few years he would have had 20,000 settlers on the concession and that all their trading would have been done wltn the United States. Mrs. Waller said that the people preferred American goods, because they were better and cheaper.

The ex consul was asked If he still owned this concession. Said he, "I've got that property to day. The papers are in my pocket now. The concession is Eecured under provisions of a treaty between Madagascar an tho United States, in which tbe queen Is recognized as the only sovereign over the Island. Tbe treaty specifies that any citizen of the United States may secure land grants and they shall be protected In the same under and by virtuo of the treaty.

This treaty was in force at the time." HEXRY VILLA RD'S ANSWER. IN THE NORTHERN PACIFIC SUIT POH AN ACCOUNTING. The answer of Henry Villard to the complaint in the suit of the Northern Pacific and Manitoba Railway company against him for an accounting was filed in the United States circuit court. New York, this afternoon. He denies that lie acted as agent of the company in the sale of Its bonds, and by the production of his correspondence with the complainant, company seeks to show that he purchased four millions of Its 55.260,000 first mortgage bonds outright, for which, as alleged in his answer, he paid in full, while the remainder were neither sold nor bought by him.

As regards tho $650,000 terminal bonds for which an accounting Is also askedt hia answer is that he never received them for sale, but that they were paid to tho firm of Decker, Howell as part consideration undor a contraot between them and the complainant for the completion of its roads and terminal Improvements. He states that the firm acted for him because of his absence in Europe. The answer further sets forth that Mr. Villard wau the sole bolder of all the stnelt of the complainant company, except some qualifying shares, and as such absolutely controlled the corporation, and in all the transactions with it really dealt with himself. The answer affirms finally that one of the conditions of the sale of the bonds and stock of the complainant Northern Pacific and Manitoba Railroad company to the Northern Pacific company, under whose receivers the suit is really brought, was that only the railroad terminal properties and rolling stock should be delivered to the purchaser, and that all other assets should be disposed of by tho complainant company previous to the sale which was done, he alleges, by dividing these assets among those who at that time were entitled to them.

EVERY KIND OF FROM TO SCROFULA Captain Coulston's Men Make Sure of the Eagle Prize, FIVE MATCHES TO THEIR CREDIT Last Night They Defeated the Thirteenth Regiment Team by a Narrow Margin Good Scores on Both Sides.

The Forty seventh Defeats the Fourteenth Details of Both Matches Date of the Next Contests.

Under 'the terms governing the award of the cup it be held by that organization until the date of the next annual contest. Two more matches are to be shot, probably on May 2. tie date regularly scheduled, April 23, being the day set for the Grant monument parade, when the members of the soveral toams will hardly be in condition for a trial of El! ill.

The result of the contests to data Is as follows: Won. Lost. Total. Twenty Unr rcsimeiu 6 0 6 Thirteenth resiment 3 2 f. Forty resimont 1 4 i ourteenth rtKiinent 1 4 Of these matches two are protested.

Captains Henry of the Forty seventh takes exception to the decision of Major Dabcock in regard to the tie match shot with the Thirteenth. Captain Dressel of the Thirteenth thinks that he ought to have another match with the Kourter nth for reasons already set forth In the Eagle. Whatever the action taken hy the inspectors of rifle practice, who are the custodians of the trophy, the result of the series will not be affected. To the Twenty third. with its splendid series of victories belongs more than ordinary credit because of the splendid showing made by the oth.

organizations. Last while the Twenty third was defeating the Thirteenth, the Forty seventh took the into camp by the score of 390 to 351. these scores being larger than those made In the armory on accoun of the shorter length of the range in actual disiance. At the Bedford avenue armory the Thirteenth won the toss and made the Twenty third shoot first. This was done with the result that Captain Coulston's men put up a score of 35S.

or seven points better than they had ever before made in their own armory. A tthe 2W yards the total was 172; at 300, 186. The first two men in the Thirteenth teem were one point ahead of the first two in the Tweney third, but the first fgour were eight points behind. Austin and Constable, who not only could not make up the difference, but they allowed the gap to widen by three points. Captain Henry's men In the Marcy avenue armory shot first and with a total of 390 to their credit, worried very little over the possibility of defeat.

In total points the Forty Eeventh leads the Twenty third by 1,781 points to 1,763. Private G. W. Lent of the Forty seventh made the high score of the evening. 6S.

The Fourteenth was not quite up to its standard, but they made a very fair score. The last contests in the series will be between the Thirteenth and Twenty third regiments in the Sumner avenue armory, and between the Fourteenth and Forty seventh in the armory of the former.

Ho explained to the ambulance surgeon that he fell off a new building at Woodhaven yester A Workman Oontesses to the Theft of Valuable Refuse. HE STOLE ABOUT $1,000 WORTH. Limberg Found a Cripple Creek Bonanza 111 the Brooklyn Watoh Case Faotory His Thieving Said to Have Covered a Period of Four Months A Brother Placed Under Arrest as an Accomplice.

There have been so many thefts of sweepings and bench rofuso in the Brooklyn Watch Case factory at the corner of Warren street and Fourth avonue, within the last few years that the strictest rules have been established to guard against the dishonesty of the operators. The men who work in tho factory are carefully watched, for tho sweepings of the benches and the floors are freighted with gold, and any dishonesty on the part of the employes would result in a heavy loss to the employers. As is usual In places where gold is used in large quantities, the refuse from the benches is carefully gathered up, submitted to a smelting process and carefully assayed. Within the last two years there have been three men arrested for stealing the sweepings Tram the factory. Within the last mouth or two the bench refuse has not panned out so well as formerly, and the managers of the factory decided that samebody was stealing the sweepings.

A watch was set on the benches and suspicion fell upon Albert Llnberg, a polisher of cases, who had been employed In the factory about four months. His workshop superiors thought they had round undisputable proot that he was stealing and yesterday sent, around to Captain Campbell of the Bergen street station for an officer to arrest him. Detective Sergeant Frank Kelly and Acting Detective Scan Ion were assigned to the case and late yesterday afternoon they called at the factory Just as tho men were leaving and placed Lin berg undor arrest. He wae at first indignant. but when searched at the station a tin cocoa box was found In his pocket containing an oleaginous mass, which seemed like slate col ored mud.

He confessed that the stuff was largely composed of gold. A foreman of the factory who was shown the contents of the box said that it "contained the refuse from the benches, and probably would assay about $15 worth of the precious "metal. Captain Campbell warned Llnberg that any statement he would make would be used against him and then proceeded to question htm. The young man confessed that he had been stealing the bench refuse systematically for four months and intlmatod that he had carried off probably 51,000 worth of gold in that time. He was asked how he disposed of the greasy, smudgy, but precious mass and admitted that he gave it to another man who took It to a professional assayer and converted It into cash.

He admitted, too, that he had shared the proceeds with his confederates. Llnberg. who Is a single man, was locked up in the Bergen street station and the do tectlves were sent out to look for the men who had shared in the plunder. George Llnberg, a brotner of Albert, was arrested late last night, charged with having received tho stolen property. It is alleged that he relieved his brother of the sweepings and sold them to an assayer.

WHITLOCK ISSUES A CARD CONCERNING CHARGES AGAINST THE METHODIST BOOK CONCERN. Cincinnati, 11 This statsment was given out to day: "In view of the un rest caused to many Methodists of the present generation by the statements given to the public with reference to the Import and purpose of Dr. John Lanahan'B recent utterances before the Baltimore preachers' meeting. Im peaching th good name of the Methodist book concern, It becomes necessary for the undersigned to officially explain that the matters treated by Dr. occurred twenty four years ago; that the doctor's charges were thoroughly exploited at that time before the tribunals of the Church; that the men whose reputations were involved, and who were exonerated from any criminal complicity In the Irregularities discovered, have been dead for mans' years.

Dr. Lanahan's sole object in going over the subject again, after so long a time, appears to be his own vindication as against what he deoms the unsatisfactory finding of the financial experts who passed upon the matter and the verdict of the ecclesiastical court rendered at that time. Certain occasional allusions to the subject by prominent church men have also had their influence in determining Dr. Lanahan's course. It should be understood, however, that from that period, twenty four years ago, to this day, no breath of suspicion has clouded the reputation ot any man connected with the publishing affairs of our church.

Our book concerns have paid toward the support of our worn out preachers and for other church purposes during the last eight years more than $1,000,000 and they deserve the unqualified confidence and commendation of the church." W. F. WHITLOCK, Chairman of the Book Committee of the Methodist Episcopal Church. FOUR BULLETS IN MRS. PUGIL'S BODY.

SHE WAS SHOT DOWN AFTER REFUSING TO ELOPE. Bridgeport, April 11 Charles Kostrap ski.a well known Slavonian of the east years of age, shot and probably fatally wounded Mary Pugil a widow 33 years of age, living with her seven children at 71 Church street.

She refused and a quarrel resulted. The woman tried to escape from the man and ran down a flight of stairs. Kostrapskl followed and fired a bullet at the fleeing woman.

The missiles went wide and the woman reached the street. In her excitement she darted under a horse standing in front of the house. Kostrapskl fired four Bhots at her and all four took effect, two in the back and two In the arm. He then ran to Pembroke lake, Jumped into the water and started to swim across and escape when officers compel led him to return. He then fired tho remaining cartridge in his revolver at himself.

Belief of a Father Concerning; the Sensational Miss Arnett.

THINKS HER HIS DAUGHTER. A Mysterious Disappearance Which. Stirred Up the Eastern District Nine Years Ago Recalled in Connection With the Young Woman Who Recently Shot Herself on Mr. Winke meier's Doorstep. It is believed that Minnie Arnett, the stylish young woman who shot herself on the doorstep of Christian WInkemeier's mansion on Eighth avenue some time ago because the wealthy candy manufacturer had discarded her, is no other than Maggie Koeherleln, who mysteriously disappeared from her home at 134 Metropolitan avenue on February 26.

1887. This belief is shared in by Casper Koeherleln, the father of the missing girl, who says that tho pictures of Minnie Arnett pubMshod In the newspapers at the time of the shooting, very much resembles his missing daughter. The fact that one of the names given by Minnie when she was in the Methodist hos pital was Koeherleln or Keherleln strengthens the father in his belief. At the time she was in the hospital he had no opportunity to visit her and now she has disappeared bo that the identification cannot be made as a matter of certainty. Winkemeler, whose wife has Just secured a divorce from him, admitted to an Eagle reporter at the time of the shooting that he met Minnie In a house In Washington and became infatuated with her.

He knew nothing about her antecedents and she was herself very reticent on that point, but he knew that she was well acquainted with Brooklyn. As the testimony in the case showed the wealthy candy manufacturer established a home for himself and Minnie In Baltimore, but when the affair became too notorious decided to break with her and when she was away in Washington on a visit to her old chums, sold out the establishment and returned to Brooklyn. Minnie followed him when she found that she had been deserted and tried to Induce him to provide for her. Failing in this she made a sensational attempt at shooting herself on the doorstep of his big house. She was well acquainted in the eastern district, a circumstance that was evident from the fact that she made her home at the Metropolitan hotel at the foot of Grand street.

Casper Kochealem. who is now living on Varlck avenue, Greenpolnt, feels satisfied, as has been said, that Minnie Arnett is his long lost daughter, Maggie. The girl was 14 years old when she disappeared, nine years ago, and would now, if alive be just 23 years old about the age of Minnie Arnett. The color of her eyes and hair and the contour of her face all lead the father to a strong belief that the young woman is, none other than his missing girl. The disappearance of Maggie Koherleln was more than a nine days' wonder in the eastern district.

The girl, who was a vivacious little person, was sent out on the day of her disappearance to purchase some bread at the bakery of Mrs. Scheweger at 71 Metropolitan avenue, a distance of 600 feet from her home. She visited the bakery, purchased a loaf and some roJU and stood a few minutes talking pleasantly to the little daughter of the woman who kept the shop. Then she went out and none of teh neighbors saw her after that. The father waited up for her, but as she did not return that night, he reported the matter to the police.

The whole neighborhood was aroused when they found that Maggie had disappeared and volunteer parties started out In search of her. The excitement was Increased when one of the neighbors found next day on the stoop of Charles Graham's pottery on Metropolitan avenue, a loaf of rye bread and the pass book which the child had carried. There were In the soft mud, for it had been raining heavily, the footprints of a child and a man. It was feared that Maggie had been murdered, and as soon as the pottery furnace could be coled off an examination was made of the ashes, on the theory that Maggie had probably ben assaulted, then killed and cremated, but no bones were found. Later there was arumor that tbe girl had eloped with a canal boatman, but that could not be traced to any reliable quarter.

Mr. Koeherleln has never given up hope of learning from his daughter again, however, and according to a letter he wrote to a friend the other dav he is firmly convinced that Minnie Arnett Is his lost Maggie. Until he meets her he cannot be positive, of course. BISHOP RYAN'S FUNERAL. MANY CATHOLIC DIGNITARIES TO ASSEMBLE IN BUFFALO.

His Seoond Meeting With Count Von Kotze Was Fatal, CAUSED BY COURT SCANDALS. The Count Was Arrested and Imprisoned on a Charge of Writing Letters Implicating Persons of High. Rank. He Was Acquitted and Declared That He Would Hunt Down His Accusers. His Fortune Dissipated in the Search.

Potsdam, Prussia, April 11 Baron von: Schrader, master of ceremonies at the Prussian court, died to day, his death being the result of injuries inflicted by Count von Kotze, formerly one of the court chamberlains, during a duel fought yesterday In the vicinity of the Neues palace at Pottsdam. Baron von Schrader was wounded in the abdomen at the time of the meeting on the field of honor and his recovery from the Injuries received was considered from the first doubtful, if not impossible. The death at Potsdam, of Baron von Schrader, master of ceremonies at the Prussian court, as .1 result of injuries received during a duel with Count Lebrecht von Kotze, formerly court chamberlain, will undoubtedly go a long way toward reviving the great court anonymous letters scandal which for years has furnished Gormajiy, and in fact all Europe with a series of startling sensations. The arrest of Count von Kotze for participating In this duel with Baron von Schrader has already been ordered, and he has announced his willingness to surrender to the authorities. It Is also stated that the affair will be seized upon by the liberals as an opportunity for making an interpolation in the relchstag, the claim being that the authorities knew well that the duel was about to take place but refused to interfere.

If the matter is given an airing in the German parliament as well, as in the courts, the names of persons high in social and political life in Germany, in fact of royalty itself, cannot be kept out of the case. This was the third of a series of at least a dozen duels, for which challenges were sent out a year ago by Count von Kotze. and even after the probable fatal result of the encounter with Baron von Schrader was announced to him he repeated to friends the statement that he was determined to keep on fighting his enemies, one by one, until he had settled accounts with all on his list. The first of the series of duels was fought with pistols at Grunewald early in the morning of April 18 last between Count von Kotze and Baron von Reiscbach. Baron von Hel6chach had insisted that shots should he exchanged until one of the contestants was eo badly wounded as to be unable to continue firing.

Seven shots were exchanged, with the result that both the contestants received more or less severe flesh wounds. At the eighth shot von Kotze fell, it wao thought fatally wounded, with a bullet in his loin. He recovered, hut will remain a cripple for life as the result of this encounter, though he walks with greater ease than was at first anticipated by the attending physicians. On account of the popular sympathy for Count von Kotze and his opponent the emperor decided to overlook the matter of the duel and the contestants were not Imprisoned. Last June Count von Kotze encountered Baron von Schrader on the field of honor, wounded him slightly and was again wounded himself.

For this Von Kotze was sentenced to three months' Imprisonment in the Fortress of Glutz. He was treated with the greatest consideration by the authorities and it was reported on the occasion of his release that he had promised not to fight another duel. The duel, in the vicinity of Neues palace at Potsdam, which occurred yesterday, was the second fought with Baron von Schrader, but the third of the series growing out of charges that he had written the famous series of letters concerning court personages. The conditions of the duel were practically the same as those Imposed upon Von Kotze at the time of the duel with Baron von Reiscbach It was agreed that tne principals should stand ten paces apart and shoot until one of the con testants was disabled. By some of the English and German papers which have commented upon the affair this was pronounced to be little less than murderous.

While an operation was performed by Dr. Bergmann with the hope of saving the life of Baron von Sohrader, von Kotze held a reception at his palace In the Thlergarten and received congratulations from many of the leaders of court society. TILLMAN IN KENTUCKY. HE IS APPLAUDED FOR HIS FREE SILVER SENTIMENTS. Lexington, April 11 Senator Tillman's opening speech in the free silver presidential campaign has drawn to Lexington to day the leading silver men of central Kentucky, and indications are that ho will be given an enthusiastic reception when he appears at the Auditorium at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

He took a drive about the city early in the day with local silver leaderB and had a rush of callers later on. The senator was Introduced to an audience of fully a thousand people at 3 o'clock by the Rev. Mr. Boiling. On the stage were many of Kentucky's prominent politicians.

The senator denounced the Cleveland and Carlisle financial policy bitterly, and then attacked newspapers in the most vigorous language, saying, among other things, that the press of the country had been subsidized by the money power. He took up Carlisle's five propositions as enunciated in hie speech at Memphis last year, and argued that they were wrong. He claimed that the only reason why silver Is inferior to gold as a standard of value is that It was made inferior by the laws of congress. His points were cheered by the audience, which was thoroughly In sympathy with his views. Tillman predicted that the next national Democratic convention would be controlled by the free silver wing of the Democratic party.

Silverman's Defense of Pulpit Plagiarism. REV. DR. GOTTHEIL WASNETTLED He Told His Colleague in Plain Language That the Latter's Excuses' for tho Rev. D.

TParker Morgan Were Entirely Out of Place Lively Scene in Temple Emmanu El Some.Eactracts From the Sermon. Members of the congregation of Temple Emanu El, Fifth avenue and Forty third street. New York, are still talking about the sensation caused by the Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman's sermon yesterday, which was largely a defense of the Rev.

D. Parker Morgan'a conduct in adapting to his own use a sermon preached by a Unitarian divine. The most prominent objector to Dr. Silverman's remarks was the Rev. Dr.

Gottheil, co pastor of the temple, who left bis scat and retired to an antl room long before Dr. Silverman concluded. Others followed his example. When Dr. Silverman left the pulp.lt, many members of the congregation congratulated him on tho stand he had taken In reference to Dr.

Morgan. While tbe hand shaking was going on Dr. Gottheil returned to the auditorium and approaching his colleague, said: "I want to tell you, Dr. Silverman, that I entirely disagree with the sentiments you uttered from the pulpit to day." Dr. Gottheil was evidently very angry, but his associate kept cool and replied: "Well, doctor, I can't help that.

You know I sometimes have disagreed with you." This did not help matters, as Dr. Gottheil rejoined sharply: "I want to say that this subject should not have been brought up in this pulpit at all. It Is no business of ours. I tell you again that we entirely disagree with your utterances this morning." Here are the portions of tbe sermon to which Dr. Gottheil took exception: "Every book and every house is a quo tation.

And who does not believe that Homer had a reservoir of learn ing to draw from some mysterious lake of knowledge Into which he could now and then throw his 'Goethe laughed the Idea of absolute orig inality into scorn, and declared that it was the author's duty to use' all that was suggested to him from any quarter whatever. When Shakspeare is accused of pilfering, Lander replies, 'Yes, he was more original than his originals. He breathed upon dead bodies and brought them into "It has been said of Pope that whatever Jewel he appropriated he set It in gold. Perhaps the best definition of legitimate appropriation was given by Hegel when Cousin was accused of stealing Ms ideas, cousin, said he, 'has caught some small fish In my pond, but has dressed them in his own "In this sense I would say that Dr.

Morgan has not stolen from, but improved upon Dr. Putnam. I have already referred to my authority for some noted literary coincidences, but out of respect for the literary Bcent of the ministerial detective. Dr. Lee, I had better refer him more specifically to William Matthews' essay on 'Originality In published in the volume entitled 'Great Conversers and Other where he will find some wholesome truths on the subject of plagiarism.

"In this while unfortunate expose the burden of wrong doing lies not on Dr. Morgan, whose scholarship and eloquence are well known and recommended, but upon the great unknown, Mr. Lee, who, it seems, has become tired of hiding his light under a bushel. To him and to all his type, we recommend the salutary prescription of Moses, 'Thou shalt not go as a tale bearer among thy "The clergy ought to practice some of that brotherly love about which they prate so eloquently, and dispense some of the milk of human kindness which they recommend with such fervor to the world. It may be possible that among the list of the world's lost treasures we may also find the lost preacher whose practice was consistent with his preaching, who opened not his mouth save In love and atretched not his hand save in blessing.

Certainly, the preacher ought not to imitate Satan and take a lesson from the snake that coileth in tho grasB, but from the Lord, who doth gently reprove and forgive and forget." 9T. CATHERINE'S ALUMNAE MEET. The Alumnae of St. Catherine's hall mot at the Hotel St George yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
