Lovers of fair sport would have preferred to have tho case go the other way as an enconragement to honest newspaper criticism. Tho art world is scandalized by revelations which have boon made of frauds in connection with tho recent sale of old Holland masters at Rotterdam. Three Van Dyckri and a llembrandt which brought imnionso prices, have been proven forgeries. A goneral overhauling of Van Dycks and Eembrandts is now going on, with a view to discovering whether further spurious copies are in existence. Tho Hungarian government is at last awakened to tho necessity of taking measu res to sustain the reputation of its wines, which are alleged to have been extensively countcrfoitod abroad, as a result of tho increased vigilance on the part of the authorities in this rospnet.

Three wine merchants at Wasgau, near Tokay, have been fined 3 4,000 marks each for selling chemical wiuo as the real Tokay. l'GRTUOAL'S SCltRP.S'DKll TO EKOIAXD. doing a big business and the low patrona of tho house indulged in coarse Jokes about the awful tragedy that was enaoted thero two nights be before. Iuspeotor Byrnes seemed moro at ease after Captain Eeilly's prisoner had been brought in. His deteotlves were still busy rushing about tho Fourth ward, but ho returned to his normal condition of self confidence.

Thegeneral opinion of those about polico headqnartora wero that ho had his man, but wanted to fasten tho crimo upon him without a doubt before ho would speak of his catch. Captain O'Connor of tho Oalt street station strengthened tho bolief that the murderer, or at least the man suspected, had been arrested by announcing to the reporters shortly before midnight that they might go homo, because he said: "I assure you that no information will be given out, beforo to morrow afternoon. Even if we got the man we are looking for there would be bo many things lo clear up that nothing could be given for publication before to morrow aftornoon." Stove Brody seems desirous of getting all the cheap notoriety he can out of this case. Ho an nonnced yesterday that ho oould toll who tho murdered woman was, and ho had a statement printed in a New York napor about her life, which proved to be untrue. Thon ho told report era that his wifo had found parts of the intestines of a woman in the street, near the sceno of tbe murder, and that ho had sent them to the polico of the Oak street station.

The polico denied that they had received anything from Brody, but Deputy Coroner Jenkins admitted that the police had sent him a package aud he examined the coutonts, whicb proved to be parts of tbe organs of a cat.

M. Paul Leroy Beanlieu, editor of the Economo iste Francaise, in an interview to day regarding the resolution recently adopted at the miners congress in Paris for an international Btriko for an eight hour day, said that the resolution was not unanimously approved, and added that from the course of the discussions it is quite clear that there would have been a still larger number of dissnntionintB if tho declaration that the proposed strike "may become necessary'' bad boen less equivocal. It is quite certain, ho said, that the various governments will not agreo to mako an eisht hour day obligatory. Tbe rnatogy which the resolution attempts lo establish between such an International decree and the postal, telegraphic, railway and navigation conventions is, ho maintains, a false one. These conventions have to do with things, not persons.

There is no stipulation, for instance, that the personnel of the postal service shall be organized in the same way iu every country iu the postal union: each nation is even left perfectly free to charge what it pleases for its internal service. Thon again, these services are essentially public; they are not private enterpriser, as coal mines, with a fow exceptions in Germany are. Tho eight hour day is quite a new idoa on tho continent, and tho great masB of French workmen do not approve of it. An inquiry wna beld recently by the labor commission of the chamber of deputies and tho replies to a circular sent out showed that 28)6 per cent, of tho Parisian workmen are opposed to any legislative limit at all, that 75 per cent, are opposod to a limit of eight hours unloss overtime is permitted, and that throc fif the of tho total number are in favor of a day of nine to ten hours or more. Freely admitting that too prolonged labor is not economical in the long run, M.

Loroy Beauliou points oat, on the other hand, that too intense labur with short honrs is equally wasteful. The great economic problom is as to the precise number of hours of work which will correspond to the most effective Production. There is, he said, what may bo spoken of as a critical point in tho economics of labor, aud it is very variable, according to tho country, the race, the industry, the implements and the men. The German emperor has lately made an experiment in the Saarbruck mines. The hours wero reducod from ten and eleven to eight, not including the time consumed about an hour in entering aud leaving tho mines.

The result is a decreaBO of 10 to 3 5 per cent, in the efficiency of labor. It iB quite certain that a reduction of economic efficiency of labor in the end means the impoverishment of the laborers. Iu conclusion M. Leroy Beauhen stated that ho was not seriously alarmed at tho possibility of an international itrike. ROME'S GUNPOWDF.It EXPLOSION.

Tho same may be mi A of the Scandinavian countries and Turkey's Iformerand present (mpire. lint in the remainder if Europe, from tho IluHSian border to the North sea and tho Atlantic, police anr, military are eftincr roady for the 1st of May. Austria has repared to meet tho issne uijuarely by forbidding ny demonstration or public procession on that ay, and has instructed the directors of all lanufaetirlcs under tho control of the utati prohibit the employes from making tho 1st of May a holiday. In Italy Baron Nicotera has suited circular to tho prefects, prohibiting or an zed processions in connection with the 1st fMay demonstration.

The circular does not etwith approval in the Italian press, being onKidered moro likely to create than to prevent disorder. Enron Nicotera saya the precaution is taken against, tho real laboring classes, bnt itgainstthe anarchists anil socialists, who are Uwaya aotlve on these occaiions, and that the Baolica will not interfere with meetingc of work iunmen unless the utterances tend to disorder. KThe Popolo observes that if thtro is any country Enrope in which the 1st of May demonslra bion becames a mere absurdity it is Italy; that broe fourtha of the wcririugmcn would thank eaven if tbey could bo assured of eight hours' HRrork, or oven nino or ten. But it is this very con Hlitlon tint, iu tho opinion of Baron Nicotera, lakeslt necesnary to use preeatitiou. The probability of dangerous agitation in russe'i on May 1 is somewhat lessened by the halion of the central committee of the chamber In adopting f.r rcommeudation a radical exten iion of the franchise.

Tho qualification for the arhamentary franchise is fixed at the ago of nil the payment of 10 francs a year in direct aias. This franchise has heretofore been con fined lo those paying 42 francs a year in direct axes, while the provincial franchise required ranos aud tho communal 52 franca annually. Tliilo the reformed franchise, as proposed, would jot be the universal Htiffrage demanded by the Workingmen, it would amount to household suf 'rage and take in nearly all of tho working who have settled habitations. A sin ular ploa for tho franchise and short. hours comos from a class of Belgian itinera who seldom see the light of day.

i'he prodigious depth of the coal mines Belgium makes it almost necessary for some oeu to remain below all the time, in order to a clear road for the others to work. In a oit Flenti tho work is now done at 3,700 feet depth uid in tho St. Andro pit, at Montigny, at 3,000 feet. In former years it was customary to keep oya at these great depths from one year's end Another, having them feed and sleep in the nue8 and spend their working hours in destit ute up after the regular miners. The poor notches could not stand the daylight and ought the cover when above ground, like a bat ir an owl in the Bunshino.

But this has lately Hbson prohibited, although, as stated, a good many miners so seldom coma to the top that they lay be said to live in the mines. But all of them Baean to be above on May 1. THE OEnSIAN WORKMEN DIVIDED. In Germany the workingmeu aro divided as to heir course. They had resolved to observe tin irst Sunday in May as May day, but this pro rraramo has been changed in deference to the visiles of the workingmeu in other parts of iVeatern Europe, and tho 1st of May will be Kelebrated in an orderly manner in Berlin and itbor leading cities and manufacturing centers.

I'he aocial Democracy has urged upon all its nembera tho nocessity of maintaining order Hind not racriucmg the advantages gained HLy constitutional means. Tho German so. fool that they hare much to loso by pwturoance, ana tnav tneir prospecu oi controlling the reioimtag are improving Tith every election. Por these reasons there is ittle danger of an aggreesivo demonstration imong the intelligent workiugmen of the cities. But among the Wcstphalian coal minors there is different and dangerous spirit which tho mod vto socialists are striving, ho far in vain, to teepdowu.

The police and military are guard in: Boohnin and other points in tho mining dis jiot in great force, and if the day should pass Tithout bloodshed the German public will be igrcoablr surprised. The French government has made thorough preparations to deal with any disorder, and is csolved not to unite half way work of it. The Best assurances of tho peace of Paris, Lyons and Mile and other labor centers is that the aiiarcli 6ts and socialists undemtand tho resolute atti iudeoftho covernmeut. Tho Paris municipal luthoritios ars In a degree in sympathy witii the lisordorly elements, but the police being uudor itute control are not subjeot to the dictates of the nuuicipality, and with tho troops, aro well able crush any outbreak, however formidable. The French communist of to day is, however, a comparatively harmless individual.

Uo is not am. jitions to cmisrato to the New Hebrides, where natives havo acquired a taste for escaped especially when captured soon after escaping. Disorder may be looked for in Barcelona and nther Spanish industrial towns. Tho Bareeloui nbor agitator is fast acquiring a reputation most dangerous of his type iu Europe. Ho as tho fire of the Moor and the physique of the Basque, with tho courage that is tho heritage of uo poorest Spauiard.

Tho eight hour movement loes not meet with universal or even general ac leptaueo among Spauish workmen, and on this act tho government baseB the hope of a quiet Monday. But tho workingraon are determined parade, irrespective of any principle at stake, md trio recent encounters in Barcelona Have caused a feeling of intense animos ty against the police aud the authorities generally. Tho garrison has been largely emforcod within tho past few days, and if there hould ho a rising it will bo vigorously met. iVhat Spanish workingmeu most want is an in re.iso of wagos rather than a shortening of lours, hven the late attempt to legislate a'gainHi Sunday labor has aroused but little sympathy the industrial classes. It should be re nemberod also that in Spain there is a powerful evolutionary propaganda, which has its chief iold and snppart among tho worlcin people.

Jut for the influence of the church the noveru hneut could hardly r.tand a day against tho re mblioan sentiment which pervades the lower nd middle ranks, and tho clergy, true to their onservativo instinct, are doing all they can to tho first of May harmless. The workingmen of Loudon will celebrate the lay, as before, by a procession and a demoustra ion. and the usual police precautions will be akeu, although no disorder is Miss Auderson, daughter of Iho New York lady vho married Mr. McEwan, M. for Edinburgh, ras married this aftornoon in St.

The Jlnrilercr is Given Out to be Man Known as a Cousin of the Suspect Arrested on Friday A Han AnswerinR His Description is In Custody Result of the Autopsy. Inspector Byrnes made a statemont last night in which ho says he believes the old woman known as Shakspeare. who waH mtirderod and mutilated Thursday night in tho Eist River hotel, at the corner of Catherino and Water streets, New York, was the victim of a man known as "Frenchy." Tho man's cousin, George Fran coiB, is a prisouer and is held aa a witness. Tho police say the man who did the deed is still at large.

Tho cousin is also known as "Frenchy." A mysterious prisoner waB brought to polico headquarters yeBterday afternoon. Tliero are reasons to suppose that this man is tho one who killed tho old woman. It was after tin man was brought to polico headquarters that Inspector Byrnes made tho statement. It was type written and was road by Acting Inspector MeLaughiin at tho Oak street station house and in the presence of Inspector Byrnes. It is incomplete, but ueither Inspector Byrnc3 nor Captain McLaughlin would answer any of a number of questions put by reporters to cover the deficiencies.

The statement sets forth that Mary Miniton, tho housekeeper at the East river hotel, admits that she had known the murdered woman for a number of years. She was known to her both as Shakspoaro and as Jeff Davis. Frenchy, the man under arrest, admits that ou the night previous to the murder ho ocoupied a room with Shaks peare in the East river hotel and that he was iu the hotel, but not in tho room with the woman, tho night she was murdered. The man suspected of having committed tho murder is also known as Frenchy, and is believed to bo this man's cousin because the several women held as witueesei say tho two men spoke of each other as cousins. Tho Frenchy who is held as a witness refuses to give any infer niation regarning tho missing man who is known to he a native of Assyria.

Ho speaks an Arabic French dialect. He waH arrested January 24 last for biting Mary Lopez, one of the women nowheld'asa witness. Ho was her companion in the East river hotel the night he bit the woman. Ail the women held as witnesses knew him and could identify him. He has been known to the inmates of low diveB iu the Fourth ward for several months.

This is all the police would say about the murderer. They havo looked up tho history of the wretched old woman who was so shockingly murdered. They say of her that she first appeared in New York about flrteen years ago. She waB then a fine looking woman, of middle age. very intelligent aud quite refined, though addicted to drink, riecause of hor intelligence she came to be known as Shakspeare.

Why she was also dubbed Jeff Davis no one aeems to know. She bocame very popular among those with whom she associated beoause of her liberality and for her superior intelligence. She had plonty ot money, aud when under the iniluenco of liquor she would spend it frcoly or would give it away. She rapidly sunk, and soon became as low as the lowest of the women iu Water street, although she would frequently dis appear and when she rpturned would Beeni to have BUBpeuded hor drinking and other low habits while absent. She returned periodically to her low companions iu the low Water street dives.

Detective Crowley, tho statemont continued, discovered a woman who knew Shakspeare well and who informed the detective that her name wa3 Caroline Montgomery aud that in early life she became the wifo of Captain James Brown, who sailed a ship from Salem, where they livod. Caotain Brown died and left her a fortune. She came to Now York shortly after hor hiiBband'a death and settled iu a respectable part of tho Fourth ward. She had thou become a victim of liquor and when under its iniluenco she drifted to the low dives a few blocks away. The women of these places made her very welcome because of her money and she booh spent most of her time with thorn.

Sho has often beon arrested and sent to Blackwell's Island. When she disappeared from hor chums she was an inmato of an old women's home, where her board was paid by a relative named LawBou, who ia a resident of Salem. Sho was last discharged from tho Black well's island prison a fow days ago. Her two daughters, Ellen and Annie, still live at Salem. Tho above is the statement given by the police.

When questions wore asked about the previous history of Frenchy it was said that there was nothing more to say than wdi.it had been uaid. Every dive in the Fourth ward had been visited by dotoctivea, and when tho Eagle reporter went to those places to got information about tho man who iB suspected, tho dive keep, ei's said they had never heard of him, although they had told the reporter before that they knew him well. Tho mysterious prisoner at polico headquarters was brought in by Captain lieilly and Detectivu Brittof tho Nineteenth precinct and Detectivo Sergeant Hanley of tho Central office. His hands wore tied bahind hini and he was closely guarded by tho three officers. Uo reached headquarters, ou Mulberry street, at 1C50 P.

M. Later he was taken to the Oak street station house. He answered tho description given by Mary Miniter of I he man who occupied the room with Mrs. Brown the night she was murdered. His clothing was the same as that given by Mary, with the exception of the trousers, which were different from those worn by the man Thursday night.

It was stated in yesterday's Eagle that a policeman brought a pair of trousers that wero stained with blood to the Fourth precinct polico station yesterday morning, and that ho Broke of having got them at a Bowery lodging house. Tho polico refused to speak of these trousers. The fact tha; tho mysterious prisoner ansivored the description of tbe wanted man in all particulars except as to the trousers, would indicate that aftorhav iug killed the woman tho murderer went to a Bowery lodging house, and finding that some of his victim's blood was on his trousors he aecurod another pair, leaving the blood Btained pair behind him. When Inspector ByrncB was asked about this mysterious prisoner he ho ia a small thief wo have wanted for a long time. I assure you he is a bum." But he would not say who the small thief was or why a polico captain aud two detectives guarded him so closely aud had his hands pinioned.

Deputy Coroner Jenkens who made tbe autopsy on the body of tho murdered woman, was seen by a reporter of the Eaolk after he had finished his scientific examination. Ho said: "I do not claim, as has been reported, that the slashing must have been done by a loft handed man, or that I am sure she was cut before sho w.is dead. That she was strangled there i no doubt, bnt whether she was cut before she died from strangulation or immediately aftar death no one can tell. It is evident that great force was used in the clutch at hor throat. The liquid condition of tho blood in the heart would indicate that strangulation and not hemorrhage caused death, ami yet the amount of blooding would indicate that sho was not quite dead or at least that the body was still warm when she was cut.

I found ono long incision from the top of tho right hip bone decend ing obliquely acrosK the abdoaian lo tho bubos. The intestines protruded from this out. It appears that after ths cut was made the body was turned over and the cut was continued from the ptibes upward and backward beyond the baso of tho baokbone. Tliero are two long scratcheH in front and a perfect crus scratched iu the skin at the back of the thigh." Was the cutting such as would hare bee done by a surgeon as the cuttitig done by Jack the Kipper of London, is said to be?" asked tie reporter. "If it was done by a surgeon he was a butciber, It was horrible hacking." "Would you BiippoBH this murder was cauimit ted by tho London 'Jack tho ltipper' I am not advancing theories.

I cannot say. Water and Cherry streets havo not wittimsed bo quiet a Saturday night as last night was in many years. Tho Fourth ward was overrun with detectives aud the fallen women seemed to be more afraid ot them than they did of "Jak the Ripper." Tbe dives were all open, as uewal, but the woman kept indoors.

As stated in these dispatches, last Tuesday, Lord Salisbury prepared to defend England's claims in Africa by force, leaving Portugal to accept such action as a declaration of war if Bhe should Bee fit. The courso of Portugal in rofnsing admission by the Pungwe route to the intending passengers of the pioneer line river steamers was clearly a violation of the Anglo Portugueso agreement, which guaranteed tho free navigation of rivers and rights of transit through Portuguese territory. The pioneer line includen Americans in its ownership, and had organized a service of river steamers aud wagons from Berai to Fort Salisbury iu Mashonaland. Two hundred and fifty Bettlcra for the Mashona gold fields were to have taken advantage of this routs to day, the 25th, but tho Portuguese assumed to prevent this. The capture of the countess of Carvarvon also closed navigation ou the Limpopo.

Lord Salisbury determ ined that the Pungwe should bo opened aud tho Anglo American steamship line protected in the navi nation of its waters. Thon tho Portugueso government gave in, rather than fight. Miissi Kosse is by this time probably in tha bauds of the Portuguese, the British South Africa company having instructed the guard which thoy stationed there to rotira as soon as a sufficient force of Portugueso should arrive to protoot European property from depredation by the natives. Tho draft of the new convention with Great Britain on African affairs will be laid before the Portugueso Oortos on Mor.day uoxt. It is believed that it wili bo substantially approved.

At any rate. Groat Britain will offer no better terms. The patience displayed by Great Britian under the aggressions of the Portugueso, appears to have encouraged the Boers to similar aggressions. Ex. petitions have been organized in the Transvaal to enter Mashonaland and found a new Boor republic in tho territoryol British the South'Al'rica company.

Upon the fact becoming known an imperial proclamation was at once issued, declaring that any attempt to establish autonomous government in that country would be regarded r.s an aggresBioa against British suzerainty and an infringement of the rights of the British South Africa company, and would be resisted. Since this proclamation the Boer leaders have determined to give up any idea of a new repub. liu. The news that Portugal had decided not to offer armed resistance lo Great Britain has given an impulse to the new Portuguese loan of which French company is advancing ou the security of the tobacco monopoly. The arrangement is a costly one for Portugal, ns the tobacco monopoly is worth about 1,000,000 annually the services of the loan requiru only leaving tho remainder for profit to the syndicate.

Portugal is paying tho penalty for defaulting a former loan, negotiated many years ago and repudiated on the pretext that it had been issued by a usurping government. Whoii Portugal came to Paris to borrow money the holders of the repudiated bonds posted up notices all over the city and employed sandwich men to carry similar nptioey, denouncing Portugal as defaulting government. To shut their mouths they are to receive a small amount from the proceeds of the new loan. A GRAND POKE EXILED FH02I ItUSSIA. Ill order to aid his son iu law, tho Grand Duke Michael of liussia, to recover social position, Prince Nicholas of Nassau has solicited his stepbrother, the grand duke of Luxeniberg to have his wife, tho Coniitess Merenberg, and her daughters raisod to tho rank of princesses of Nassau.

The grand duke has refused tip comuly with tho request ou the ground that none but persons of royal or prineeiy descent should bo princesses of Nassau. The czar has determined not to declare the marriage invalid, as he at first intonded, but only to banish Grand Duko Michaol from liussia. He is said to be much softened by tho death of his auut by marriage, the Grand Duchoss Ols. aud that at an early dato ho may permit Michael to return to Itussia. The German imperial commissioner iu Eait Africa has introduced a new levy in the form of shooting fees.

Ono hundred rupees is to be exacted for the first elephant shot, 250 rupees for each succeeding elephant, and 50 rupees for each rhinoceros. The object is to prevent the extermination of tho animais. European flcientisto are watching with interest the earthquake phenomena of tho year. The month of April ha i witnessed two important earthquakes, the first having destroyed hamlet of Adjl Djevas. in the district of Van Armenia, aud the second, a few days ago, having wrought destruction in the Austrian province of Styria.

It is believed that the subterranean wave is moving west varrl. Tho steamer Wissmau is ready for service ou the African lakeB, having been accepted by the committee from the Hamburg dock yard iu which tho vessel was built. The German exhibition iu London will bo opened in May. Tho fino arts section will in cludo 700 of the finest productions of German artists and will bo iu tho foreground of tho main gallery. Hor majesty.

Queen Victoria, arrived at Windsor palaco to day from Grasso. She is much improved iu appearance and was received in a hearty manner. Siie will come to town on Tuesday and occupy Buckingham palaco for a few days, going afterward to Osborne. Trtrz Von Kaulbach. tho famoui portrait painter, has resigned his olhco as head of tho Munich academy of art.

Professor Loffty succeeds him. Tho Prussian mining officials who visited England last year are about to publish the results of their studios iu the mining districts, including inquiries into the rates of wages, public institutions for tho benefit of workmen and the social condition of tho English mining districts generally. It is rumored that Horr Yon Bulow, the German minister in Switzerland, will ba transferred to London or Paris. The Jackson case is already bringing about itn natnral results, one of which may be seen in the memorial to Lord Salisbury, lord chancellor ot England, which is being actively circulated by Mrs. Jacob Bright, praying the lord chancellor to consider, in view of his recent decision in favor of Mrs.

Jackson, the anomalous position of married women with regard to local franchises. The petition lays especial Btiess upon the fact tint while married women are not yet allowed to vote in the elections for school boards and board of guardians they are actually qualified to sit as members of the same. Several leading politicians express the opinion that they are on the evo of great social changes, of which the Jackson case it but the premonitory symptom. Meanwhile, by far the most piquant and original verdict yet pronounced upon this still much discussed case is that nf a prominent woman politician, who bemoans the decision extremely on tho ground that there will henceforth bo nothing to prevent women from marrying. HAKI) WORK TO GET RECRUITS.

A significant evidence of tho importance of the recruiting difficulty in England is tho effort which is now being made to attract militia men into the regular force. The adjutant general haa entered into arrangements with officers commanding tho militia rcgimouts by which during the current trainings special announcements of the advantages of the army will be exhibited in nil militia barracks and especially prepared loaf lots and pamphlets distributed among tho men. A movement id on foot for a mission on a gigantic scale tho young mon iu London in November next. The object is not evangelistic, but to urg.i upon young men "the claims," to quoto the official announcement, "of tho heathen aud Mohammodan world. Already about fifty churches have intimated that they will take part in the mission.

Signor Francesca Rnncio, who has Just terminated his cngagemsnt with tho Carl Rosa ifrand opera company, has just accepted an en Arrest of a Nniorlons Female Thief at l.oemer Cu'm. Nellio Scott, alias Nellie Burns, one of the most accomplished shoplifters in the country, waB caught in Looser Go's, store, January 8, by private Detective Butler, and quietly escorted to the Adams street station where she spent the' night behind the bars. Tho woman had none of LocBOr's property in her possession, however, and aa she promised never to trouble tho house again no complaint was mado against her in court and Justice Walsh discharged her next Last Friday a woman lost her pockotbook in the store and when Butlor got a description of the suspected person it occurred to him that perhaps Nellie had broken her promise and returned. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Butler entered the cloak department on the second tioor. Tho first object that met his gaze was the pretty faco and trim and stylishly attired figure of Nellie Scott.

Walking over to her the detective said: "I thought you promiaod not to come back here?" "I'll como back as often aa I plea9e," was tho tart reply. "Indeed I Suppose you corns to the office with mo." Nellie went submissively upstairs and from there Butlor started to escort her to the aide, walk. But at the top of the stairs the young woman changed her mind ami decided that sho wouldn't leave until sho got ready. Aa quietly as possible the officer assisted her to the but the excitement among the crowds of women who thronged the store was inteiiso. Nellie screamed, fought and struggled in anything but a dignified manner, and as sho passed an easel upon which were two pictures a well directed kick of her dainty foot sent easel and pictures tumbling upon the floor.

The pictures, which were valued at i40, were not injured. Onco outside the store, Detective Butler called Patrolman Ruddy of the Eleventh precinct and turned tho woman over to hiiu. Sho broko awav from tho blue coat, however, and turning upon Butler planted a small list under his eye. The policeman caught her again, but not until she had alinojt knocked out Looser's officer with another vicious kick. Fulton street was blocked with the crowd which was drawn by the demonstration and it was not clearod until long after the patrol wagon had taken tho pretty but spirited young woman to tho Adams street station.

By the time'she arrived there her rage was spent, and very meekly she told the sergeant that she waB Nellie Burns of 228 Twenty sixth street. None of Loesor's property was found upon hor this time, either, so sho was he'd on Butler's complaint or assault in the third degree. Nollie's first venture of any magnitude was the theft of worth of diamonds from Shrove, Crump Low, the Tiffanys of Boston. While a salesman waB showing her the diamonds she substituted paBto for the genuine and left, saying that she wuuld call again. She was caught in New York and sont back to Massachusetts, where alio served live yearB for tho offense.

She was released last July. Her pal is Minnie Stanley, alias Minnie Shay, the wifo of "Bed" HolmeB, the bank burglar. FIREMAN KAKCHEIt INJURED. Fell Bo iv ii a Ladder ul Dr. Cupllu'v stable.

Signor Nicotera, minister of the interior, in the chamber of deputies to day, replying to a question as to the probable cause nf the explosion at Pezzo Pantaleo, said that there was no doubt that the explosion was the result of an accident.

Signor Nicolera added that the officials who wore making the investigation into tho accident hoped to be able to establish clearly the absence of any criminal design in connection with the affair. Signor Agnini expressed himself satisfied with the statements niado by the minister of tbe iu torior, saying that they would dispose of tho rumors that the explosiou emanated from the labor party and that it would bo used as a pretext for repressing the labor demonstrations which had been arranged for May day. Tho Marquis di Rudini, replying to a question iu the chamber of deputiea to day aB to whether any compensation had been made to the sufferers by the Utopia disaster, said that, there was a serious question of international law which touched upon the disaster and which was now engaging the earnest attention of the government. Tho matter was then dropped. LOOKS LIKE A TERRIBLE: CR1MK.
