Mi" Mieit at lllm milt Thrn Sent a
llullrt Into llrr Tetnplo Her Career,
Mr. Olga King, n tall, handsotno brunette,
vbo had oi i uplcd n flat on tno third floor of tho
apartment house nt 17-1 Union street, Brooklyn,
for tho pat year, wns found dead In her bed
room at 3 o'llock yesterday afternoon, Sho was
i.ln.faco downward In a pool of blood on tho
floor a fen feci from tho footboard of tho bed.
Fho wore only a chemise and a pair of stocktngB.
There was o bullet wound In her right tomplo,
snd about n jardnway was a pistol. It was a
hexvy 41 calibre weapon, and two of the five
cartridges hid been exploded. Tho pollco broko
Into the lint at tho request of a woman who
llres In tho somo hnuso, and who, not having
seen Mrs. Kin nil day, feared that somothlng
bad happened to her.
After working for several hours tho pollco
canto to the conclusion that tho case was olio of
suicide. They sought lu vain a man who Is
known to the neighbors as " Mr. King," because
he was a moro frequent caller than any of tho
woman s other friends. They had nbout siren
htm up. w hen " Sir. Kins " surrendered himself,
lie uus locked up for tho night In tho Adams
street pollco station. In tho meantime facts
about tho dead wouinn were slowly coming out.
It developed that Mrs. King was a fictitious
same, and that tho wctuan was In reality a ono
tlmo famous Oorutxn actress, known aa Ottlllo
Kiraly, and that she enmo to this country when
cast ot! by her husband, LIcuU-Col. Holnrich
Itlttcr Ton Schwnrz, an ofllcer In the Thirteenth
Infantry. Austrian army.
Mrs. King's career had been a romantic one.
llercscamdcs abroad wcro published far and
wide, and when sho came to this country four
years ago sho didn't modify her conduct to any
narked degree. Eho was about 30 years old
and very pretty. She had lived inn number of
plans in Brooklyn, but tho first one that the
police have been able to get track of was in the
Columbia flats at 403 Fourth avenue. There her
conduct was such as to causo tho landlord to
reouest her to move, llor callers were too
tnany, he said, and the other tenants objected.
So Mrs. King mo vod. Sho engaged rooms In
a fiat on President street, near Henry street,
the flat was run by a Mrs. Edolmutb. Mrs.
King's callers did not discontlnuo their atten
tions and finally the landlord garo Mrs. Edcl
tnnth tho alternative ot getting rid of her
boarder or giving up the flat. So Mrs King.
was obliged to move again.
This time Mrs. King went back to housekeep
ing. She hired the third flat on tho left-hand
side of tho apartment houso at 174 Union street,
and speedily lost favor with her neighbors. Her
callers were all men, and they made their visits
at all times of the day or night.
While living with Mrs. Edelrautb. Mrs. King
Itnado the acquaintance ot I'lacido Saitta, an
Italian, who ia in tho produce commission busi
ness at 24 State street, this city, and who lives
at 159 President street, Brooklyn, which is a
few doors from Mrs. Edelmuth'a homo. Saitta
Is 33 years old. over six feet tall and very
handsome. lie has been in this country several
years, but speaks English Imperfectly. Ho
became Mrs. King's most ardent admirer. Ho
hovered around Mrs. Edelmuth'a flat, and fre
quently took Mrs. King out walking and driving.
Sullta came to be known as "Mr. King'
around the new flat in Union street. Mrs. King
had nsrer said that he was her husband, but
the neighbors had taken it for granted. Ho
seemed to be the most In favor, so he was always
referred to as "Mr. King." There were other
callers, too, and Mrs. King was not Inconsolable
when baltta was not around. There were many
say parties at tho flat when ho was absent, and
he figured in many that Mrs. King's other
friends didn't know were taking place.
Mrs. King had few attacks of melancholia, the
neighbors Ka. On account of hor conduct few
of them ever had an thing to say to her, but
they obterv cJ her closely, as neighbors do, and
she always seemed hapu). Due of the few women
who ever spoke lo her is a Oennan living on tho
floor abovo. On Monday night Mrs. King told
this woman tbat ahe would meet herx esterday
morning and go shopping with hor. Mrs. King
was thin apparently in tho best of spirits, and
laughed and chatted with her neighbor.
It was this Oerman woman who, having re-
Sc-atcdly knocked at and runt tho bell of Mrs.
.ing s door, told the police that they had better
make an investigation.
Mrs. King's flat waa in perfect order. Tho
rooms wi.ro handsomely furnished, and thoro
was not the slightest sign of confusion in
any of them. Tbo bedroom where tho
body was found is uoxt to tho parlor
and only separated from it by a bluo bilk
?ortlere. Tho Uxl had been occupied during
ho night and It was ovident from the condition
of the body that Mrs. King died a short tlmo
alter arising. The wound In thu temple was a
largo ono tor a bullet to make, but this was ex
plained by the fact that tho pistol had been
held very close to tho head. Tho pistol was
n , ? ,'r away from the body as to
mako it Impossible for the woman to havo
t5r?wn,Jt lhcro herbolf after tiring tho fatal
po'- The fact that there were two empty
nells In tho pistol was regarded as suspicious,
intre was only ono wound In tho woman, and a
n.oty examination of tho room failed to show
Z?"e second bullet had gone. Tbo police
concluded that one ot the cartridges must havo

I wandored around for a time, and
then went and saw my lawyer. Mr. Friend, who
advised mo to take thlsstop. Tho rovolvcr with
which the shooting was done was a prcsont
from mo to Mrs. King. About A year ago sho

sixtcon months altogether."
Haltta was lockod up for tho night and will ho
arraigned In tho Adams Stroot Pollco Court this
morning. Ho denies that ho stayed in Mrs.
King's flat on Monday night, despite tho asser
tions of the neighbor.
A search of Mrs. King's rooms revoalrd n lot
ot lettors. most ot thorn written in tlorman.
Ono letter, addressed to "My Darling llrothor
(luln,"wns found. It was unfinished and had
evidently been written by Mrs. King on Monday
Sight. Other letters had been sent to Mrs. King
y various men. An interesting batch, signed
" Grandfather," woro tho means of giving
tho pollco a cluo to tho dead woman's real Iden
tity. "Urnndfathor," it turned out, was tho
lato Kdwnrd Kndner, a wonlthy shipping mer
chant. Ho died at bis residence. -.!) Carroll
street, so oral months ago. Mr. Kndner know
tho woman's history, nnd his sun Henry told It
to a reporter last night.
As Ottllle Ktrnly Mrs. King was a popular
actress In Austria nnd Germany ten years ago.
Whllo In Budapest sho met Col. von achwarz. a
member of a wealthy and prominent family
nnd a man high up In tho military sorvlco.
Hobocamolnfatualod with her, and to outwit
his relatives, who objected to her. they
ran away to Vienna nnd wero married. In less
than six months tho Colonel tired of his wife,
who would not glvo up her gay life, nnd ho tried
to get rid of her. Tho woman clung to him.
however, and finally hor husband's family paid
her ao.(KX) gulden to como to this country.
In 1893 sho came hero on the steamer Sorrento
of tho Bremen line. Tho woman's conduct
abroad, both beforo and after her marriage, had
given her a certain amount of notoriety, nnd
her coming here was made much ot bysovcral
nowspapers.
When tho Sorrento arrived, the other passen
gers told queer stories about their fellow pas
songer. Sno hod eaton at tho Captain's tablo
nil tho way over, and was tho most popular
woman on board with tho Captain, if not with
tho other passengers.
Capt. Jurgonsen of th Sorrento was suffi
ciently Interested In Mrs. King to ask his
friend Kndner to watch over her while he was
away. Ho was In tho habit ot leaving money
with Endner, to bo drawn on by Mrs. King
when sho needed It. In tho performance of this
duty Kndner became quite friendly with Mrs.
King, nnd when Endner was dying tho woman
made a scene by trying to force hor way to his
bedside. Bho was kept out by tho son. Young
Endner says that Mrs. King has a, daughter
about 7 years of ago In Europe.
At a lato hour last night the police of the But
ler street polloe station found tho second bullet.
It was on tbo floor under the bed. It had struck
the wall near the floor and bounded off. Mrs.
King's body waa removed to an undertaking
establishment.
XX PZ OSIOX J.V FIFTH ATEXVE.
Calumet Club Rbakrn Jfarraw Eaeaar of
Persona In tbo Xelcbboraood.
Fifth avenuo was shaken by an explosion yes
terday afterhoon which scared the wits out of
people in tho vicinity of Twenty-ninth street,
and kept several policemen busy for a couplo of
hours trying to explain to scared property
owners how It happened.
The explosion was In the excavation mado by
Contractor Matthew Balrd's men, who aro
getting ready to lay the new water mains.
Tho workmen were blasting rock, and tho
charge of powder they used was cither too heavy
or else it oxploded pre-naturcly. No ono seemed
to know how it happened, but every ono there
abouts agrees that there was a tcrrlflo explo
sion, and that It was pure luck that no ono was
hurt.
Tho avenuo Is torn np tbo whole width of the
street at this point, and the excavations extend
for a block on each side. Paving stones and
rocks are piled over on the curb line In front of
the Marble Cotlegiato Church on the northwest
corner of Twenty-ninth street. The arcane has
been In this condition at this point for several
months.
Tho Calumet Clnb is on the northeast corner,
hut the street In front of tho clubhouse is clear.
The building on tho southeast corner U occu-
Sled by Neumon ic Co., larulture dealers and
c (-orators.
Neuman k Co. suffered the most from tho ex
plosion. Windows on the Twenty-ninth street
side wero broken by flying stone, and Daniel
Neuman. the head of the llrin, and C. W. Puch.
a bookkeeper in his employ, narrowly escaped
iniury.
Tho blast which exploded was placed directly
in front ot the entrance ot tbo Collegiate Church,
about ten feet from tho curb line. John Bnrry
of 315 Enst Sevonty-soventh street was the man
in charge of the blasting. Ton or twelve Italian
laborers wero working under his Instructing.
Barry warned tho laborers to seek a place of
safety, and a moment later ho dlicd into tho
entrance of the Calumet Club.
Then came the explosion which brought police
men and throngs of people to the scene. It
shook the Calumet Club, and the employees
rushed out, thinking tho bulling was going to fall.
Across the street the employees of Neuman &
Co. were rushing about trjing to cacaixi tho
falling glass from the broken windows on tbo
Twenty-ninth street side of the building.
Pieces of rock as big as cobblestones Uttered
the street. Dirt was plentiful, too. Tho head
of thellrmof Nouman & Co. wns tho first to
regain his composure nnd he ran from the build
ing to And the mim responsible for the explosion.
He found Barry trying to explain to hl ex
cited and scared workmen what had happened.
One of the Italians hail fallen on his knees and
was praying to bo saved.
Mr. Neuman didn't let Barry out of his sight
until several policomen enmo up on a run. Then
he Insisted that ho bo arrc-xtod.
Before the foreman was taken to tho Wckt
Thlrtioth street station houso Mr. Neuman
mado an examination of tho ground where tho
explosion occurred. There wuru logs over the
hole, but they wcro not chained together aa tho
law says they should be. Neither was thero
nny corrugated Iron over tho logs at thero
should bavo been.
Harry admitted at tho station houso that tho
logs had not been chained. Aftcrwnrd ho sold
they had been chained, on ono end. Ho
didn't deny that he neglected to uso
tho catering of Iron. Ho said ho
hadn't used any moro powder than usual In tho
blast, and he couldn't account for the loudness
of the report. Howas lm kedup for recklessness
on Mr. Nowman's complaint.
Mr. Neuman was sitting at a desk writing on
the second floor of his building near a window
when the explosion occurred. He dodged his
head to the further side of his desk astwohig
Jagged pieces of rock crashed through tbo win
dow at which he was sitting and fell with n
bang on his desk.
At tho samo instant all tho windows on the
same floor were broken. Downstairs Book
keeper Fuchs was at work near a window when
a rock came through and grazed his bond.
The force of the explosion spent Itself on tho
side of Nouman & Co.'s building. There wasn't
a window broken In the Calumet Club, although
it wan first supposod that the club property suf
fered most,
Tho explosion created excitement nmong tho
guests of tho Holland House, at Fifth uvcnuo
and Thirtieth strcot. They rushed out in droves
to see what caused the great noise. Tho streets
bacame so crowded for a time that tho pollco
wero kept busy making tho people move on.

noon as a certain woman who had a room on

The woman who left answers the description
of Diss Dobar completely. Sho is short and
stout, of uncertain ago, and has light hair. Her
landlord also says she had a peculiar scar on
her face. That is ono of the mark on Diss Do
bar, for though tho may show up In a town with
a now name and a new shade, of hair, she cannot
St rid of thut scar. According to the landlord,
e woman camo to his place about two weeks
ago and asked to see a room, hho was c-uslly

Ilovn Y. Aug. 2 i. Up to n lato hour tonight
reliable news from tho frontier had not boon ro
reived. Hcporls from Pcstmwur Indicate that
there has been sovoro lighting In Khyber Pass,
and that the garrison of Fort All-MusJId, a few
miles west of Jnmrood, nro stubbornly resisting
overwhelming odds. An unconfirmed report
says that tho garrison made a sortie, in which
they lost 300 killed, nftor which they abandoned
tho fort and started for Lowrng,
The troops at (Juettn, hnvo been warned lo
hold themselves In readiness fur hostilities at
tho shortest nutlce.
Simla, Aug, 23. After tho flRlitlng which
occurred yesterday, tho Afrldl tribesmen re
tired to tho hills nbout Khyber Pass, whero they
were virtually safo from pursuit by tho British
troops.
To-day everything was quiet, nnd tho Afrldla
sent a delegation to Gen. Wrsmueott to suggest
conditions, which being accepted, I'icy would
return to their homes.
These conditions provided for the withdrawal
of tho British from tho Swat Valley nnd tho
Samann Mountains, tho surrender of nil tho
Afrldl women on tho Indian sldo of tho frontier,
and n rovlslon of tho salt regulations.
The fact of tho Afrldls proposing terms la re
garded as showing the most sublime audacity
on tholr part, and is ovldencnthat they do not
appreciate tho gravity of tholr offence In tho
eyes of tho Indian Government.
The Government will undoubtedly pursue its
operations until tho power of the Afrldls as tho
leading clan on tho Pcshawur frontier Is com
pletely broken.
Tho fato of Fort AH-MusJId has not yet been
dotlnitoly learned. It was reported horo to-day
that tho wliolo garrison of 300 Sepoys hod been
massacred nnd all the arras and ammunition In
the placo seized.
The report adds that tho tribesmen then
marched to Iwrng to attack tho British there.
Karllor advices say that Fort Sadda in tho
Kurram Valley was attacked by tho Insurgents
nfter the preliminary fighting reported In this
morning's despatches, but the Invaders wero
repulsed by tho garrison. Tho subjugation ot
tho Swatl tribesmen Is now complete
A despatch from Qucttn, Baluchistan, says:
"Tho sedition has now reached this southern
most part of the frontier. Threoof tho principal
chiefs of Baluchistan arrived In Uiis city nnd
were found attempting to pervert tho native.
They were arrested. Tholr arrest caused a great
sensation among tho Mohammedans, one of tho
chiefs being Ohoms Bakhis, son-in-law of Sir
Arnd Khan, the most luynl thief in llaluchis
Un,"
A despatch from Pcshawur soys: "Tho relief

Fort Maudo was seen to bo in flames. Tho gar

Havana, Aug. 23. Tho news printed In Inn
Sun of Mr. Flshbock's nrrlvnl In Havana, in
trusted with n special mission from tho Admin
istration, Is continued. Mr. Flshbntk will ac
company Consul-Oenoral Leo upon n tour of In
spection throughout thu lslnnd. They will visit
nil tho consulates nnd consular agencies of tho
United States In Cuba. By this means Mr. Fish
back will bo abloto study tho real situation of
tho island In nil tho six provinces, and roport to
tho American Oovcrnmcnt thostatoof tho war
In Santa Clara, Puerto Principe, nnd Santiago
do Cuba, ns w ell ns In Havana nnd Plnnr del ltlo.
Up to tho present tlmo tho American Ad
ministration has had only tho scattered reports
of tho consular agents font to Ocn. Leo. Most
of the ofllclal Information concerning Cubx In
Washington Is chiefly derived from Spnnlsh
sources. Mr. Flshbock's mission will rosult In
placing nn Impartial ofllclal report In tho hands
of President McKlnloy, nnd It will undoubtedly
be of great service to Gen. Woodford in carrying
out his instructions In Spain.
The Spanish Gove rnment cannot make tho
loast objection lo Gen. Leo and Mr, Flshbock's
visit to the Interior nn i tho eastern part of tho
Island. Furthermore, It Is tho undcnlablo right
of tho American Consul-Qoncral to Inspect tho
consulates under bis orders. There Is a note
worthy precedent for this in tho visit to tho
British consulates in Cuba, mado nbout eight
month ago by the British Vice Consul. Mr.
Gosslln, xv ho availed hlmsolf of tho oppor
tunity to make a report on the war to the For
eign Ofllco In London.
Tho most Important matter for investigation
Is tho situation In tho eastern provinces, ns tho
state of tho war In Matanzas has already been
personally studied by Ocn. Lee. Up to this time
all tho American consulnr reports havo con
firmed tbo news previously sont to tho Ameri
can press. Thcro is little doubt that this In
quiry x 111 also ofDclally confirm Information
nl ready published as to the situation In tho east,
where the revolution Is stronger than In the
west, aa Is confessed by tho Spanish Government
Itself.
Tho report published In The Si-n of the cruel
orders of Wcyler directed against tho town of
La Espcranza, whoso 8,000 inhabitants wcro
doomed to starvation by the Captain General,
hns had disagreeable results for tho Mayor of
that town, D. Pedro Golcocchca. Weylcr has
fined him ff 1.000 for having mado public tho
communication that Qolcocchca sent to tho
Governor of Santa Clara, asking for tho with
drawal of tho Captaln-Gcnorol's decreo forbid
ellner the anln nf nnv sort of food trj tin Inhahf.
tonts of La Espcranza.
Tho Mayor of Santa Isabel de las Lnjna, Santa
Clara province, has also been fined $l,0e0 by
tho Captain General because ho could not pre
vent a raid on the town by tho Insurgents.
The report romes from Clenfuegos of the arbi
trary arrest In tho town of Arrlcte of the sta

It was Iho fourth Futurity In which James K
Itoxvo wns closely intcrestcel, nnd thcro wera E
warm congratulations for tho trainer and the I B
clever young turfmen with whom ho is assocl- t: jH
atcd. Regrets wcro frequently heard that tho ? jJ
Thompsons are to give up racing and sell out 'f,
tho stud where L'AIouctto was born, hut per- & Jw
haps yesterday's victory may cause ihera to J Jyl
change their minds. Requital from Brookdale ; ivtj,
won a Futurity also, nnd this Indicates that ,; K
there is material at that stud to do tha trick -i jH
over again. James Row o trained St. Carlo when j IH
Chaos won In 1880, nnd the following year HH
he trained Potomac and Masher when they fin- 'IH
tshed first aud second fur this biggest of all two- l H
) car-old prizes on tho turf, xvhile in 1801 he was ;.; IH
part owner ot His Highness, who won xvlth 130 .3 H

Thero xvas not as large a gathering of cnthusr- :-j i-sH
asts yesterday to sco the Futurity as has been jj bSM
seen in some former) ears, but tho crowd, oo- - 21-J-85
cording to Robert Pinkcrton, was quite up to ifaW
last season's, and there was only room to move irlliJM
nbout with somo degree of comfort In tbo grand r.'KlWi
stand, clubhouse, and lawn. It wus possible to JljjfrH
thread tho maze of persons wlthuut being S'uU
crushed and knocked about, and tho occasion m'MS
was much more enjoyable on this account. Tho ?$!
dark morning following tho heavy rain kept tl'K?
many persons away from the ocuutlful courso, iStu
and, whllo it is a stereotyped phrase to bay w'tMji
that Shccpshcad Bay never looked better, IliMp
it applied with singular force j esterday. y'P-K
Tho stonn had washed every bladoof grass. mIbE
every flower and leaf, until they shone, nnd in & ti
the afternoon hen the sun broke through the W'l
bazo tho eves of tho 15,000 persons present ffiit'
drank in nil of the beauties of the scene. Sbeeps- sfiiiii
head Bay, by virtue of Its situation, is the race fl
roursu par excellence of tbi- lontincnt. It bus 1&T
so mui h shade, so ninny spacious law ns, and the $(&$
xiciv from tho stand is fo diverting that it Is a a5W
garden spot at any season of the jeur, nnd SBefl?
espcelnlly so ot present, when nature Is at her Inlfcjl
x cry best. mSU
There wero many persons of note- from out ot Wti
town at tho courso )cstcrdny, men who would Sens!
never think of missing tho Futurity, and there SkiJ
were others who were witnefsing the greatest t'lf'y
of all the two-yi-ar old races fur the first time. j V,
