Miss Mary Leiter to Become Lady . Scarsdale This Morning:. CEREMONY TO BE SIMPLE. The Young- Lady Made a Large Allowance by Her Fond Papa. "/I THE SCARSDALE DIAMONDS Will Be the Present of the Groom-Elect— Wedding" to Occur at 11:30. WASHINGTON, April 21.—Inter est in the Leiter-Curzon wedding continues to be the all-absorbing topic of interest, not only in Wash ington, but in whatever section of the country the bride-elect is known. The fact that at the marriage which is to be celebrated tomorrow there will be a large contingent of guests from New York, Chicago, Utica, Boston ,and Ohio gives every cvi- dence in the most unmistakable manner that this interest is wide spread and of the most genuine sort. When the engagement was first an- MISS. LEITER. nounced; simultaneously in this sburitry and in London, it was sup posed that the preparations for the marriage would be on the most elab orate scale.- As a matter of -fact the irrangements for the ceremony will be simple in comparison -with some of the international marriages that have taken place in Washington within the last decade. The engage ment ■■ Was <>a -settled matter some time prior to the date upon which It was made public, as the trousseau was at that time not only under way, but was entirely completed. Upon the: SPLENDID WEDDING GOWN as Well as upon the greater number of the gowns forming the trousseau, Worth expended the greater por tion of his time and his talents just prior.- to his death.. These gowns form a most charming array, upon which the eyes of London society will have: the first look in all their -freshness of wedding finery. Even the going-away gown, which is sim- ple/in its construction, bears the unmistakable stamp of Worth's workmanship. When it comes to mention Miss Leiter as a belle and beauty, it would seem that every thing has been said that could in any way be written upon this sub ject, and yet it is a topic upon which there is always some new light to be thrown,. some new point of inter est to be shed. Many of the guests at the wedding breakfast have been selected with regard to some espe cially happy episode or epooh In the life of the bride-elect. . In the list will be Hon. Robert Lincoln and wife, to whom, after a certain fash lon, Miss Leiter is indebted for her APPROACHING HAPPINESS, Inasmuch as the presented her form ally at court four years since. It was upon this occasion, when she first made her bow to the queen of England and took part in the draw ing room festivities, that Miss Leiter met the distinguished Englishman whom she is to marry tomorrow morning in historic old St. John's. It was a case of love at first sight on both sides, and the beautiful young American, upon whose charms the royal seal of approbation had been set by the court of St. James, GEORGE N. CURZON, M. P. then gave her heart to ,the man who, in addition to his distinguished an cestry, had to offer her evidences I of his own brilliancy in the numerous scientific works that during the last few years he has contributed to <the • higher ranks of literature. Unlike so .. many of the recent international mar- riages, that of Miss Leiter to Mr. Curzon; promises -to be an unusually . happy one, not only from the con genial temperament of the fiances, but from the environments of their lives. As the mistress of a fine estab | lishment in London, Miss Leiter will Jhine among the most distinguished MINNES society of the British aristocracy, and make a representative American woman of whom this country can well feel proud. For the accomplish ment of this she has the natural re quirements for social life. To these have • been added every advantage that wealth could supply. Mr. Cur zon's income is by no means as small as has been represented, and, while, it is true that he could not very well afford to live in any very . ; " . ... EXTRAVAGANT' MANNER, .y-7 he is perfectly able to "support his wife in the style in which it is prop er that she should live. All manner of rumors have been current in regard to the magnificent settlement Mr. Leiter was to make upon .his. daugh ter the day of her marriage. The sums reported as constituting this settlement have varied through- ev ery stage of the hundred thousands.' As a matter of course, these' wild rumors have reached the ears of Miss Letter's family, greatly to their distaste. Mr. Leiter, in response, to a direct query on this subject, has announced that will make no set- tlement whatever upon his daughter, and that so far from this ever hay- ing been his intention or one of the conditions of ■ the marriage as re- ported, he has no slight idea of mak- ing any settlement, even of the ri_o3t' modest dimensions. What he. will dc in fact, what he has already done— is to give the daughter outright the amount he would 'have given , her on her marriage irrespective of whom she had selected for her husband. All his children have an income of their own allowed for the purpose of dressing themselves and indulging their fancy. in whatever manner they elect. This money, now given to his eldest daughter, is' simply in the nature of a continuance of that al lowance to which she has been . * ■' i//\ i FOR VEAL/3 ACCUSTOMED. Naturally as a married woman her requirements in this line will be greater -than as a girl in society; therefore, it' is to be supposed that the sum will be a larg^ one, enabling her to take the place required of her among the nobil ity Of England." In addition to this, Mr. arid Mrs. Leiter have given their daughter several elegant presents of an individual character. . '.As ' already an- nounced, the present of the . groom- elect to his bride will be the Scarsdale' diamonds/which she will wear upon her wedding day. As the future Lady Scarsdale these diamonds would in the course of time have come to her, but as the groom's father, the present Lord Scarsdale, is. a minister of the j Church of England, it seems more fit- | tins* that the diamonds should be ' given at once to" his son's bride to I wear in all the freshness of her youth ! and beauty. Going over to. London to j live will not be in her. case in the \ nature of giving up all the associa tions of her life to form new ties and make new friends on, the other side of the water. For many years past Miss Leiter has spent so much time abroad that her friends, riot only in London, but throughout Europe, are legion, j When, after the close of the London season, and the closing of their town house is in order, they will go /'/p. :/: TO KEDLESTON HALL, in Derbyshire, the Scarsdale country seat/where, doubtless, a round of gay- eties will mark the arrival of the bride and groom. Few men who have come to America for their brides have had the satisfaction of introducing to their friends in the queen's domains a more distinguished looking woman than the one who will be the future Lady Scarsdale. When the groom- elect arrived in this country from En- gland April 17, he was accompanied by his sister and brother-in-law, Sir Will- iam and Lady Miller, his brother, Frank Curzon, who, with the bride's brother, Joseph Leiter, will be one of j the ushers, and Lord Leamington, the best man. The entire party, upon their I arrival in Washington, went direct to j the Leiter residence, where they will be the guest of the bride's family during their stay in this city. In one sense, it will be a home wedding, as the only attendants of the bride will be her two sisters, Miss Nancy Leiter and Miss Daisy Leiter. The latter is a school girl, and will not make her de- but into society for some years. She is strikingly like her oldest sister, the bride-elect. No one will be admitted to the. church the day of the marriage except upon presentation of one of the cards issued with the invitations to the ceremony. The' rule will be en- forced with the UTMOST STRICTNESS, as the seating capacity of the church is only 700, while the number of invi tations out for the ceremony is greatly in excess of this number. When it is taken into consideration that in ad ditlan to the members of Washington society who will be present at the marriage there is to be a large in crease in the number of guests in the strangers who will come from : the North and West especially for the oc casion, it will be seen that' even with the utmost care and the nicest calcu ation the problem of seating the guests or even finding room for them within the walls of the church is likely to be one fraught with the utmost ditrieulty. At the breakfast that will be served at noon at the house this same diffi culty will not of course exist) as the number of guests bidden .to that, por tion of the wedding festivities is much smaller. It is limited to 150.- The idea that in some quarters has gained cur rency to the effect that the bride would be yy-';y... . . .-.... y,v,-.y GIVEN IN MARRIAGE by the British ambassador is entirely incorrect. Sir Julian Pauncefote will have no part in the marriage ceremony other than to be present among the lookers-on. He will, of course, with Lady Pauncefote, be one of the guests at the wedding breakfast, and will doubtless then offer the toast to the "health, happiness, and long life" of the bride and groom. Tlie ceremony at the church will be strictly in ac cordance with the English fashion for such happy events, even in regard to the hour. This has been set at half past 11 o'clock, as in England no mar riages are permitted to take place after 12 o'clock. There will be a full choral service, for which the choristers, have been practicing. for a fortnight past. Bishop Talbot, .of Wyoming, , who has known. the bride-elect since her earliest childhood, will perform the betrothal and | marriage, » service, liter g which Archdeacon " Mackay-Smith : will ~ pro-' nounce the benediction. \ ■-» ::■■■..... .

SHE BLED TO DEATH Woman Found Dying" in the Hallway of a Tenement in New York. SHE HAD BEEN MUTILATED But by Whom Is Still a Deep and Unsolved Mys tery. A BIG ITALIAN IS SUSPECTED Preacher's Bloody Shoe Cre ates a Sensation in the 'Frisco Tragedy. NEW YORK, April 21.— A mur der was brought to light in Bellevue hospital this afternoon, which is suggestive in some of its details of the White Chapel crimes in London that made "Jack the Ripper" noto rious. " The victim is a woman of the lowest class.. Her name was Alice Walsh, and she was well known in the resorts in the neigh borhood of Bleecker and Thompson streets. When the., autopsy was performed upon her body it was discovered that certain mutilations had been made which distinguished the White Chapel murders, though : not. of so serious a character. Up to a late hour the murderer had not been arrested. One' man who is thought' to - have had some knowl- . edge of the. matter was held under. suspicion. The circumstances of the killing of Alice Walsh are . peculiar in almost every - aspect: About • 6 o'clock this, morning the woman was found in the hallway of 143 Thompson" street half-unconscious '. and bleeding. \ The attention of the patrolman was called to her shortly after he went on post at € o'clock. The first man to, find her was Vjn- cenzo Steer, an Italian bootblack,' : who : lives in - the same tenement.^ He found her afe he was passing down stairs on his : way to work. At. that time she was leaning on the railing of the stairs "in; a half-dazed condition. ' ! Steer thought she . was. drunk, and informed the patrolman, who repaired to the spot. By. the time he had arrived the woman had fallen upon the floor. Near her. feet was a large pool of blood. ■■ At the hospital every effort of the physi cians to stop the flow of blood proved futile, and the patient expired at 11:15 o'clock, having been at the hospital - [ ,". • LESS THAN FOUR HOURS. During that period she : showed -no signs of returning consciousness, and died without indicating in any way how she met with the circumstances which resulted in her death. -In the course of the afternoon," Dr. Philip O. Hanlon, coroner's physician, made a post-mortem examination of the body and discovered the real cause' of death. He found that the woman was bruised and black and blue "'in' almost every part .of the body. He found also that she had been brutally muti lated with a knife or dagger, and that the wounds thus resulting had started the hemorrhage which had terminated fatally. The wounds were for the most part internal, and not super ficial; at least those that had been made by the knife or dagger. After much searching about the neighbor hood, the police found that the woman, in company with a tall, ' broad-shoul- deredman, who looked like an Italian, j had spent a portion of the early morn- ! ing hours in the saloon of E. N. Gar land, at 108 - West Houston street. While in there she became greatly in toxicated, and she and her tall com panion quarreled. They left there, so far as could' be ascertained, at 4 o'clock. What happened to her, or where she went during the interven ing two hours cannot at present told. It seems Impossible ; that she was thus mutilated in the hallway where she. was discovered by the. Ital ian . bootblack, and the police assert that she did not come to her injuries in any room in the tenement above. i* is supposed that the man who killed her is the Italian . stranger In whose company she was in Garland's saloon. DOMINEER BLOODY SHOE. New Sensation in the San Fran- cisco Tragedy. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 21.— The police are still busy in picking up the threads and weaving their net work of circumstantial evidence in the Emanuel church cases, so as to leave no weak mesh through which the ac cused can escape, for they believe they have the murderer in the person of W. H. T. Durant. It is now thought they will make an endeavor to try Durant first on the charge of murder-' ing Miss Lamont, as the evidence in that case is said to be much stronger against the prisoner than in the case of the killing of Miss Williams. Re ferring to the rumor that Blanche La ment was lured to the church by Dur ant on the promise to perform a crim inal operation on her to save her from disgrace, and that when she shrieked in agony he caught her by the- throat to stifle her cries and choked her to death, Dr. . Barrett, the city autopsy physician, stated the rumor was with out foundation. He says he took es pecial care in the matter of autopsy, and he is satisfied that no criminal operation was performed. He also stated that both young women died of strangulation, and that the knife wounds on Miss Williams* body were not the cause of death. Among the gruesome exhibits in the case is one that was quietly taken to police head quarters and locked up, and not until a late hour last night did the police acknowledge they had it. This ex- hibit is a shoe, and on its sole are - dark spots _thaj were made when the "wearer stepped into a pool of : blood that came from the body of . Miss Will iams. Tjie shoe is the property of Rey. George Gibson, pastor of" t_ie church, and it . was . found in . his study in the j edifice last Sunday just after j the find ing of the body of Miss Lamont. This" statement has created a sensation, and gives those who have been hinting that Rev. Gibson may be the guilty man an opportunity to emphasize their sus picions. However, - the police do riot seem to see in.it anything that impli . cates the . pastor; : for they argue that, the . person . that .; killed . the two girls ' was familiars with the church, _ must have known the shoes were there, pnd- may have; worn them in his bloody. undertaking.^-- ..,_ • ,*>' psf ; "'" '' ".

Thomas "Butts, a "highly respected : farmer's wife at Broad Run, : fifteen .miles from Frederick," was brutally asr saulted this morning by Frank chief, a burly eighteen-year-old. __egra£ who works on the farm of Columbus O'Donnell, near Petersville. " Although he failed, to accomplish his purpose! Mrs. Butts was. most fiendishly deaif with. She attended mass at St. 'Pat-. rick's Catholic church, four miles from" her •, home, and. was seen return!. when the negro, who had been folio * :. ing her, overtook • her on the ro*_>.. and, armed with a club, seized. h> r, threw her to the ground, and dragged her toward the bushes.

In the struggle he jammed his finger up her nostrils, tearing open her clothes,. and scratching and brui&4 ing her flesh. ... Frightened before ac- complishing his purpose, he sprang up and fled. Peter Hemp and David Majaha, who heard the screams, saw the negro running and started in hot- pursuit. The route lay towards the mountains. After a chase of four miles, and after firing two shots at* him, the negro halted and surrendered. In' the meantime Mrs. Butts made her way to a farmhouse. On their return. from the mountain with the negro*- his." captors were escorted by a mob, who ' j demanded the surrender of the man, that they might take him to the woods and hang him. Hemp and Majaha i fused to give him up at the point of their revolvers,' and brought Win te>*-- chief safely to Frederick. ..'; | • . ;^LENZ .WAS MURDERED./* /7.

The case was being argued yesterday, on a motion by the company for a new trial, which was granted. The jury, hi the first trial of the case gave Lavelle a verdict for $11,000. Lavelle was riding in "a pas- senger car with one arm hanging out of the window. As the car passed ; a siding his arm was struck by the door of a car and badly lacerated.

Another bill that will cause a wrangle if reached is Senator Knatvold's prop osition to reduce the freight rates on iron ore and coal.. It is on general .orders. in the senate. The bill to in spect cattle, sheep and swine in cities of 35,000 population or over. is on its final passage in the senate. It will occasion a .conflict. H. F. 555 is in the senate. It relates to .black listing of employes. There, are three measures which provide for inspect- . ing mines and quarries and for ap pointing a state inspector of mines. Two of , these are senate measures) and ' are on general orders" Then ' there is Senator Potter's bill to pre- vent trusts and, combines. It is on senate general orders. The Meilicke bill, relating to freedom in traffic of. food products, is in a good posi tion: in the senate, and will provoke a vigorous fight, is strongly op- 'posed by the Minneapolis elevator combine. Another bill; pending in the senate; is Mr. Littleton's meas- . ure to revise ] the laws of the state. A Russian thistle bill is pending In the senate/ 2' " " '. " :j2:p : 1//1 REPEATING HISTORY. - .Emulating the event In history, when the/great, charter' of liberties was • wrested from the Normans, the Eng lish-speaking • people often demand more liberality or change in the estab lished charter -or constitution. The Americans frequently ask for complete revision of a state constitution or for minor changes in .the way of amend- , ment, thinking thereby to secure more- liberty. It has" been nearly thirty • years since the people of Minnesota' have had a complete constitutional re- vision. Within that time most of the other.; states have had constitutional I conventions. Minnesota has had many . more amendments than the original articles of that literary production of the pioneers. There has .been many. demands for changes, and they are in- creasing, as is apparent from the num ber of bills Introduced during the pres ent session of the legislature propos- ing, amendments. Twenty-five such bills were introduced, besides two oth ers, which submit propositions to the people to be voted upon. A number of such bills have been killed and several others yet remain to be acted upon, two of which are likely to pass. Five of them have been signed by the gov ernor and will be voted upon by the people at the next general election. Those that are now ready to be ap- proved or rejected by the people are as follows: House File No. 1, introduced by Au gust J. Anderson, of Taylor's Falls. This .is not strictly a constitutional amendment, but will be submitted to a vote of the people for approval. It is the famous bill providing for taxing unused railroad lands. House File No. 30 was introduced by E. J. Sehurmeier, of this city, and amends section 1 of article 2, so as to change the present provision relative to the qualification of voters and office holders. It does away with the clause which allowed a person to vote upon first papers. and after a residence of only one year in the United States and four months in this state. If the new amendment shall be adopted a voter will have to reside five years in the United States and become a citizen under the laws of the United States before he can.vote. Senate File 167 was introduced by Senator D. F. Morgan, of Minneapolis*. It was signed by the governor March 25. : This amends section 13 of article 1, so as to prevent taking or damaging private property for public purposes until compensation shall have been paid or secured to be paid. This will be far reaching in its consequences, as it will give damage to owners of real estate who are not located on the ex act line of a street or railroad. It will doubtless interfere - with the present system of condemning land for street purposes in cities. Senate File 189 amends article 4, and is the famous "home rule" measure of Senator Sheehan, of this city. It will authorize cities to make their own charters. - - - ' - Senate File 325 was introduced by Senator Potter, of Minneapolis, and was signed by the governor on All Fools' day. It amends article 8, rela tive to | sale of the school lands of the state.-'- ■■■■ *• I IN THE WASTE BASKET. , The bills proposing constitutional amendments that have .been killed are as follows: S. ; F. ". 7, introduced by Senator Allen, relative to taxing rail road lands. This bill was similar to the Anderson bill, and was not strictly an amendment to the constitution, al though it* was to be voted upon by the people. S.

S. F. 484, intro duced by Senator Morgan.was to amend section 3 of article 9, relating to taxa tion. S. F. 563 was Introduced by Sen ator Stevens. It was designed to amend section 2, . article 11, so as to permit cities and counties to be united under one government. S. F. 615 was introduced by Senator Stebbins. of Rochester, and proposed to amend section 9, article 9, so as to allow the state to use part of the money arising from the royalty on iron ore to en courage the smelting and reduction of domestic ore within this state. It was defeated in the senate. , H. F. 100 proposed to amend section 5, article 9, so as to permit the state to. build ; grain elevators. This would' have gotten around the decision of the supreme court, which stopped the building of the farmers' alliance ele vator at Duluth. H. F. 176 was intro duced by. Representative Parker, of St. Paul Park. , It '• proposed to amend section s, 'article 8, relating to invest- ments of the permanent school fund. ,It was indefinitely postponed." H. F. 197 was introduced by Henry, Johns, of this city, and gave place to House File 634, which proposed to amend article 8. Both bills are dead. H. F. 2% was introduced by Mr. Bre- vig, of Granite Falls. It proposed to amend section 1, article 7, relative to the elective franchise, but was indefin itely postponed before-reaching a final vote in the house. H. F. 611 was in- troduced by Dr. Zier, of Minneapolis, to amend section 3, article 9, so as to tax all kinds of property. H. F. 620 was introduced by Mr. Dale, of Mm neapolis, to amend section 3, article 9, relative to taxation. It was indefin itely postponed in the house. THEY HAVE A CHANCE. : ' There are nine more proposed amend- ments still pending in both houses, as ! follows: ;-..<. S. F. 4, introduced by Senator H. F. Stevens, of this city. It proposes, to amend the provision relative to taxa tion so as to provide for taxing parlor and sleeping cars of foreign corpora- tions, and also telegraph," telephone .and other companies. It is through the senate and is on the calendar in the. house. S. F. 223. was introduced by Senator Pottgieser, and proposes to amend section 7, article 6, so as to require a. judge of probate to be learned in the law and to "allow him. •to be elected for four years. It" was defeated in the senate once, .'but was revived, and is now on general orders, without much hope of passing. -S. F. 268, was introduced by Senator Spencer, of Duluth. It- proposes to amend- section 1, article 7,- relating to the ..residence arid " qualification of voters. It is in the hands/ of ; the judiciary committee, and .may not get out of the senate. S. F. 567, •'; was in- troduced by Senator Fuller, of; Little Falls,, to amend section 33, article 4, relative to passing special laws.lt is now in the hands of the committee on municipal corporations./ S. jF. 604, waa introduced by Serial j'■ Steverisj *- to amend section 3, article 9,- relating to taxation; It is 'In the., hands of Sena- tors Stevens ..and Morgan,, and will probably remain there. • j£ , S.

It has . passed the house and in a good position .in; the senate. ■::/ <r ",/ H. F. 442, • was introduced by . Mr. Dale, of Minneapolis, to amend section 12, article 4, so as to limit the debt that • • may be contracted by state, county or city. It has passed the house and is on the senate calendar. ■ ■ H. F. 851, was introduced by C. F. ! Staples, of Mendota, This ; is tho "daddy," of all the amendments pro posed, in that its purpose is to reviso the whole constitution, or rather to pave the way for revision. It provides for submitting to the , people the . ques tion of " calling a constitutional con vention. If the people want revision of the entire constitution, they will so declare by. their votes. Then the legis lature, two years hence, will provide for such convention. This will delay. the matter three or four ; years, at least. The bill has passed the house and is on the senate calendar, with a prospect of being passed. This is what the people have been clamoring for, and, for this reason the legislature' has felt in duty bound to submit the ques tion. Like the demand . made of tha Norman king in 12C5, the people are asking a more liberal charter, and a surrender of old prerogatives. The ticket in the fall of 1890 will bo lengthened, to a considerable extent, by the proposed amendments to the constitution, and It will require a great amount of discussion, on the stump "and in the press, to inform the people of the scope and character of the several propositions.
