Crimes.
It turns out that the body found in the
Baltimore trunk was that of August Bohle,
a sausage peddler of New York City, who

which the dead man had.
On Saturday a large trunk was shipped
from New York to "J. A. Wilson," to

and arrived Sunday. There was no call for
it, and Wednesday such an odor was
emitted from it that it was opened reveal­
ing the body of a man with feet, legs and
left arm cut off and packed in with the
body. There was no heaxi.' On the body
was a calico 6hirt, .which ha4 on it the
name "C. K. Arnold." Several cards were
found in the clothing bearing the name,
"E. R. Siegel, butcher "Thorp avenue,
Brooklyn, E. D." The body has the appear­
ance of a young man apparently of about
one hundred and sixty pounds.
Fire* and Casualties.
At Dallas, Texas, on the 26th, fire broke
out in the wholesale grocery house of T. L.
Marshall & Co., one of the largest houses in
the Southwest. The flames spread rapidly
to an adjoining business blocks, entirely
consuming three of the finest buildings in
the city. The total loss on buildings and
stock will aggregate $400,000.
On the 26th a boiler explosion occurred
in the vicinity at the Wolf & Huges oil mills
five miles from Oil Creek, Pa., mortally in­
juring Samuel McCormick aged fourteen,
and William Marthland aged nineteen who
were in charge of the boiler. On the 26th, a
boiler at Harvey paper mill at Wellsburg,

verely injuring a third.
Political and Personal.
It is reported from San Francisco that
Senator George Hearst is lying ill at his resi­
dence with malarial fever. I£e is not con­
sidered dangerous, but it causes much anx­
iety to his friends.
The Senate, in Executive session on the
26th, rejected the nomination of Mr.
Matthews, the colored Recorder of Deeds of
the District of Columbia, who succeeded
Fred Douglas. The vote is said to have
stood, 31 for rejection and 17 for confirma­
tion. It is said President Cleveland is con
sidering the appointment of a colored man
residing at Cincinnati, Ohio.
It is said that the Massachusetts senators
have objected to the confirmation of Jonas
of Wisconsin, nominated for consul at
Prague, because Mr. Phelps of Massachu­
setts, who was suceeded bj Jonas, has made
a statement that Jonas made charges as a
result of which Phelps was removed. The
grounds of the opposition are that Jonas is
brusque, and that he has not the faculty of
the diplomat. Jonas' friends say that nev­
ertheless he will be confirmed.

mittee on privileges and elections to investi­
gate the allegations made by three residents

ported and referred to the committee on
foreign relations with leave to report at
any time. In committee of the whole on
the river and harbor bill, Air. Nelson, Minn.,
offered a substitute for the whole bill: That
the sum of $7,500,000 is hereby appropriated
out of any money in the treasury, not
otherwise appropriated, which may be ex­
pended by a board of engineers, consisting
of the chief of engineers and the four
engineers now senior in the service, either
for the repair, preservation, construction or
completion of such public improvements of
rivers and harbors as shall in their judg­
ment afford practical and important
facilities by water of interstate commerce.
This brought on a debate bordering on the
acrimonious, Hepburn, Iowa, Grosvener,
Ohio, charging a trick. Nelson and Gilfillan,
Minn., and La Follette, Wis., sharply
replying. The committee agreed to the
Nelson substitute, yeas 140, nays 78, and it

pendent soldiers pension bill was passed

mental station bill passed. The river "and

of the judiciary committee on the joint
resolution providing for the election of
United States Senators by the people. The
District of Columbia cable railroaa bill was
taken up, but the opposition forced an ad­
journment, which was taken to 11 a. m.
tomorrow, thus continuing the legislative
day, with the bill before the House.
Friday, Jan. !!8.
SENATE—After disposing of some miscel­
laneous matters that had accumulated the
bill prohibiting members of congress to act
as Attorneys for railroads interested in
legislation was taken up and debated for
several hours and when all adjournment
was taken the subject was not finished.

ington cable railroad bill but it was finally

bated the rest of the day.
Saturday, Jan. 29.
SENATE—The bill for the protection and
the preservation of the Yellowstone Park
was considered, and in the course of the
discussion Mr. Vest read a letter from Chief
Justice Waite, saying that he had read the

was not reached, and the time was mostly
taken up over a letter prepared by Mr. In
galls explaining the rejection of J. C. Mat­
thews for recorder of deeds for the District
of Columbia, but final action was not taken
on the explanatory missive, which it is
said assumes that the rejection was not
based on the fact that Mr. Matthews is a
black man.
HOUSE—Further effort was made to keep
ex-members, who are interested, as attor­
neys or agents in legislation pending be­
fore Congress, off the floor of the House, by
an amendment to rule 34, to that effect.

son occupied a goodly amount of time with
a political financial speech putting in con

course of the debate Mr. Edmunds inti­
mated he would be glad if the Senate would
authorize the construction of a hundred

tinue in offico until their successors are

business of the navy was taken up in com­
mittee of the whole and was not finished
when the adjournment was taken.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Queen's Speech.
The British parliament opened on the
27th, and there was hardly the usual inter­
est manifested. The Queen's speech was
presented as follows:
"My Lords and Gentlemen—My relations
with all foreign powers are friendly. Af­
fairs in Southeastern Europe are still un­
settled, but I do not apprehend that any dis­
turbance of the European peace will result
from the unadjusted controversies which
have arisen in that region. While deplor
the events jvhich compelled Prince Alex­
ander to retire from the Bulgarian throne,
1 have not thought it expedient to interfere
iu the proceedings for the election of his
successor until they reach a stage at which
my assent-is required by the Berlin treaty.
The task undertaken by my government to
•fcgypt has not yet been accomplished, but a
substantial advance has been made toward
atrassurance of external and internal tran­
quility. Operations in Burmah have been
conducted with bravery and skill for the
Purpose of extirpating the brigandage
which has grown during recent years of
misgovernment. The bands of marauders
by whom Upper Burmah has long been in­
fested have been despursed. Many of the
leaders have laid down their arms, and I
entertain a confident hope that the general
pacification of the country will be effected
during the present season. Commercial
treaties have been concluded with Greece
and Roumania.
"The. condition of Ireland still requires
your anxious attention. Grave crimes in
that country have happily been rarer in the
last few months than during the
period of the proceeding year, but the re­
lations between the owners and occupiers
of the land, which in the early autumn ex­
hibited signs of improvement, have since
been seriously disturbed in some districts
by organized attempts to incite the better
class to combine against the fulfillment of
their legal obligations. The efforts of the
government to cope with this evil have been
seriously impeded by the difficulties incident
to the method at present prescribed by
statue for dealing with such offenses.
Your early attention will be called to pro­
posals for the reform of legal procedure
which seem necessary to secure prompt
and efficient administration of the criminal
law.
"Bills for the improvement of local gov­
ernment in England and Scotland will be
laid before you. Should the circumstances
render it possible, they will be followed bv
a measure dealing with the same subject in
Ireland. A bill for improving and cheapen­
ing the process of private bill legislation for
England, Scotland and Ireland will be sub­
mitted. You will be asked to consider
measures having for their subject the re
voval of hindrances which exist to the cheap
and rapid transfer of land," to faciliate the
provision of allotments for small householder
and to provide for the steadier sale of glebe
lands. The commission which I issued in
1885 to inquire into the lamentable depres­
sion under which trade and agriculture nave
been suffering for many years have present­
ed a valuable report, which with important
evidence collected, will be laid before you.
"A bill for altering the mode of levying
tithes in England and Wales will be sub­
mitted. With regard to Scotland, you will
be asked to consider measures for the re­
form of the universities, for completing the
recent legislation as to the powers of the sec­
retary Scotland and for amending the
procedure of the criminal courts. Measures
dealing with the regulation of railway rates
and preventing the fradulent use of mer­
chandise marks will be brought under your
consideration.
"In the performance of these and all your
momentous duties I earnestly pray that the
blessing of Almighty God may attend your
labors."
Foreign Budget.
News has been received of a revolution
among the inhabitants of the Maldive is­
lands, in the Indian ocean. The Maldives
became incensed at their sultan because of
his failure to remove certain grievances of
which they had complained. They invaded
the palace, deposed the sultan and installed
his nephew in his place.
MINNESOTA.
The Great Winter Carnival.
During the past two weeks St. Paul
been witnessing scenes that add a fresh
chaplet to its notable record in many things
and places its winter Ice Palace Carnival
far in advance of any similar fete in the his­
tory of any land that has attempted a fes
tival amid the frosts of winter and the em
braces ot the Ice King. Last year the inia
tive festival was held and the
pleasure it afforded and the success
it attained was the signal for a
second of a series that may long be contin­
ued, to the delight of the populace, locally,
and of people of all^the surrounding country*
Thursday, the 27th, was fixed upon for a day
of great parade and the second and final
storming of the Ice Palace by the forces of
the Fire King as opposed to those of King
Borealis. The day itself was a per­
fect winter day, bright with sunshine,
joyous with the eleation of a happy
contented people. The railroads were taxed
to their utmost to bring the thousands who
desired to be present. Scarce a Minnesota
town was without its representatives, and
these were numbered by scores and hun­
dreds. A Chicago train brought 1300 peo­
ple, and this is an index of the influx upon
the great day. Minneapolis sent its thou­
sands to see and take part in the great event
and trains ran each fifteen mmutes between
the Twin Cities. The afternoon public pro-
fog
ramme included a parade of dogs,
trains and ponies, and winter equi­
pages, competing for prizes offered through
the carnival association. No sight could De
more interesting than the display thus
made and the 50,000 people upon the streets
and avenues of the city attested their
interest and enjoyment by the eager zest
they exhibited as each feature jt the scene
passed in review. It was reserved
for the night entertainment to furnish
the fitting and worthy climax of the won­
drous festival. In tne line of procession
were fifty-five clubs of snow-shoers, &c., all
in uniform of various hues and design, led
by five or six bands of music, making a
parade of interesting proportions as they
merrily marched along. Escorted by these
local and visiting clubs was the Fire King,
Mayor Ames of Minneapolis being "a King
for a day," and bearing his honors
benignly, in his fiery chariot. Arrived
at the palace grounds, these forces
gained admittance and began beir assault
upon the palace of KingBorealis, led by the
Fire King in person. The display of fire
works that followed was grand. The walls,
buttresses and parapets had on their top
bombeetes, shooting stars, boquets and other
beautiful designs, and French dragon nests
were fired from mortars. The most beauti­
ful thing of the whole was the finale, the
cascades of fire around the top of the main
tower, these being in eight pieces,
each weighing 250 pounds, and
as they burned throwing many colored
fires in every direction, representing the
burning of the palace. From one hundred
and twenty-five to 135,000 spectators wit­
nessed this great feature, every available
housetop ana other position for a great
circuit around being occupied, the location
of the Ice Palace being exceedingly favor­
able for this.

edge of the commission of this crime, but
that he is culpable in purchasing a "subject"
under such circumstances. There is a gen­
eral determination to break up the grave
robbing industry which has assumed for­
midable proportions.

"1 seldom talk about the War," said
the Union soldier, '-but I think about
it sometimes. Whenever I look out of
the window and see old Kennesaw Mount­
ain I think of the best dinner I ever ate.
For months and months we had been
living on hard-tack and sow-belly.
About the time we reached Marietta a
crowd of us came upon an old, deserted
house and found some Irish potatoes
and onions. We stewed the potatoes
and feasted. Never since have I tasted
such a dinner. Ten thousand times
have I thought of it. I think of it every
time I see a specially fine spread. For
twenty years I have been haunted by
the memory of that dinner, where Irish
potatoes took the place of hardtack and
fat meat.1'—Atlanta Constitution.
