stand in his own behalf this afternoon
and pleaded innocence although he
acknowledged having shipped the
opium from Bottineau, Dak., to Denver.
He says he ; shipped it for a man who
brought it to Bottineau in a wagon and
who being tired, requested him to make
the shipment. The quantity of the drug
smuggled was 400 pounds, upon which
the duty is $10 per pound. It is believed
that the Curran examination will lead

LAIN BY A (Off BOY.
Farmer Myers' Derogatory Re
marks Concerning a Tough
Lead to His Death.
Special to the Globe.
Sioux City, 10., Dec. 26.- At Akron,
thirty miles north of this city, this
morning, William A. Myers was shot
through the heart and instantly killed
by a man named Wood, alias Swan.
Myers and his employer, a man named
Stalker, were in a barn talking about
Wood, whose character is that of a
tough, and Myers made some derogatory
remark just as Wood entered the door.
Wood at once grabbed a pitchfork and
made for Myers, who wrenched the
fork from him and drove him from the
barn, following him some distance.
Myers then turned to go back to the
barn, when Wood drew a revolver and
fired, the ball striking Myers in the
back and passing through the heart,
coming out of his breast. Myers stag
gered a few steps to a wagon and
caught hold of a wheel, but soon re
leased his grasp and fell dead. The
murderer started to run as soon as he
tired the fatal shot. Stalker, who saw
the whole affair, went at once to town,
a mile distant, and informed the author
ities. A constable started in . pursuit,
but at last accounts had not found
Wood. The sheriffs of Union county,
Dakota, and Plymouth county, lowa,
were notified, and with deputies joined
in the bunt, but at dark had been un
successful. Wood went in the direction
of Vermillion, Dak., but it is thought
that he is hiding near the scene of his
crime. Wood calls himself a Texas
cowboy, and it is said there had been
trouble between the men for some time
over a woman to whom both were pay
ing attention. Citizens are very much
excited, especially farmers, but the offi
cers say they will protect Wood from
violence in case he is found.

• London, Dec. 26.— The military offi

efforts to persuade the government to
advance into the deserts, ostensibly for
the purpose of pursuing the Arabs so
far into the interior that they will not
be likely to return, but Lord Salisbury
is manifestly determined to recall
the British troops and leave the
Egyptians to work out their own salva
tion. The sudden collapse of what
promised to lie a protracted Soudan
campaign has dashed the hopes of pro
motion for valorous deeds on the field
of battle of a great many army officers,
and there is much growling among them
iv consequence. It is noteworthy that
in military circles the only opponent 0
of a campaign extending to the recov
ery of Khartoum have been officers of
so high a rank as to place them beyond
the possibility of promotion.
A TISSUE OF ERRORS.
Count Herbert Bismarck's Speech
Regarding the German East
African Company Creates In
tense Indignation.
Special Cable to the Clone.
London, Dec. 26.— The recent speech
of Count Herbert Bismarck, together
with the statements contained in the
"white book," that the German East
African company are the chief import
ers of arms and ammunition, has
aroused intense indignation among the
members of that organization. They
assert that the speech! so far as it refers
to them. is a tissue ef errors, and declare
that there never has been the slightest
foundation for the statements made.
In support of the general denial
thus put forward* by the East
African company, the ■■. asser
tion is made by its members
that a Hamburg ship owner named
Wormanii is the principal importer of
arms and munitions of war, and more
over is suspected of having instigated
the accusation against the company.
The powers delegated to Lieut. Wiss
mann are not clearly defined, but it is
certain that his authority will be much
greater than that of the head of an
ordinary exploring expedition or relief
party. An effort is being made in his
behalf for the employment of German
troops in connection with his expedi
tion, involving their being placed en
tirely under his direction and control.
It is doubtful, however, whether the
government will consent to this in the
face of the outcry which is being made
against it by the opponents of colonial
conquest.
CLUTCHED BY THE BEAR.
Pope Leo Grants Various Conces
sions to the Czar.
Rome, Dec. '26. The Russian mission
to the Vatican has obtained various con
cessions from the pope. His holiness
sanctions the deportation of the bishop
of Vilna to Siberia, accepts the Russian
government's candidates for the dio
ceses of Dublin and Ploki and consents
to the introduction of the Russian lan
guage in all Catholic churches, except
in the liturgy, an innovation that will
completely destroy the Polish element.
It is certain that French Influence had
much to do with the granting of these
concessions.

to explain the conduct of Great Britain
in closing British ports to French cat
tle on the plea of the prevalence of dis
eases. M. Viette replied that British
ports were open only to cattle from Por
tugal and Sweden. He could do noth
ing against the ill-will of the British
government, which had a right to adopt
whatever measures the sanitary police
suggested. He had tried to negotiate
with the British government on the
subject, but without success. M. Buffet
asked that the correspondence on the
subject lie produced. M. Viette said
thai the British government had not
replied to the French overtures.
DIGGING LESSEP'S DITCH.
There Are 0,000 Laborers En

Panama, Dec. 26.— The work on the
canal continues, although on some
sections labor has been reduced. Al
though some 2,000 men have , been dis
charged during the past two months,
owing to diputes between the canal com
pany and contractors, it is not expected
that any more workmen will be dis
pensed with. The highest authorities
consider a total suspension of work as
very improbable. Such a suspension
could only be occasioned by the com
plete failure of the reorganization
scheme now under consideration in
Paris. There are now about 9,000 la
borers actually engaged on the works.
There is no foundation for- the report
recently circulated that 75 per cent of
the men now in the employ of -the com

park to-day, in the vicinity of the new
city reservoir, founa two bundles in a
section of the new thirty-six-inch water
main stored there. For curiosity's sake,
one of the boys cut the string of one of
the bundles, and was horrified when a
human head rolled out. The police au
thorities were at once notified, and fur
ther investigation developed the fact
that the bundle first opened also con
tained the dismembered trunk of a hu
man body. The other bundle, on being
opened, disclosed the nude legs belong
ing to the trunk found in the other
package. Evidently a most horrible
murder had been committed, and the
condition of the remains indicated that
the deed had been done within twenty
four hours, of the finding of the re
mains. The legs had been cut off close
to the trunk, the left one having been
cut with a sharp knife, and the bone
sawed through. The other leg was like
wise cut, and the bone was partly
sawed when it was broken off.
• THEY WERE ENTIRELY NUDE.
; On the trunk were three shirts, the
' outer one being made of dark flannel.
A leather strap was around the waist.
The arms were not severed from the
body, but were tied in front at the
wrists with a stout cord. The head was
crushed in horribly at the back, and
there were three terrible knife wounds
on the side of the face. The left jaw
was also broken. The body is evidently
that, of a German, about thirty-five
years of age. Near the place where the
bundles were placed was found a por
tion of a newspaper, dated Dec. 5, the
appearance of which indicated that it
had been used for the purpose of wiping
up blood. On the margin of the paper
was written, in English, • the writing
being evidently that of a German, the
words: "Kohler Helab, Dooken hotel,"
and right under ibis; -"Mrs.," repeated*
several times. A portion of another
| newspaper stained with blood was also
) found. There are wagon tracks all
-.around the »pot, but the police are of
the opinion that they ..were made by
wagons hauling material used on the
reservoir. The tracks, however, appear
to have been made by a , wheelbarrow,
and those investigating- the case are
hopeful that this may furnish: a clue to
aid them in unraveling a mystery
which now ''■ y ". '-' -

Last night a gardener-, living on the
border of the park near where the re

reply, he attempted to fire his revofver,
but the weapon would not go off. He

the Columbia avenue entrance to the
park, aud told the proprietor, John
Ernst, who went out into the darkness

tion of the reservoir. He called to the
man to halt, but his command received
no attention, and the mysterious visitor
to the park disappeared in the darkness.
The spot where the ghastly remains
were found is a lonely one, and at this
time of the year is seldom visited by
any one, and the police therefore think
the party or parties seen by Ernst and
the gardener are connected with the
crime which led to the placing of the
cut-up body in the neglected portion of
the park. The chief of detectives is
working on the case, assisted by sev
eral of his best men, but the clues are

; INNOCENTS DEBAUCHED.
Horrible Crime of an Alleged Re
spectable Physician of Esca
: naba.
Escanaba, Mich., Dec. 26. -The
Mirror gives the details of a horrible af
fair just made public. Dr. W. W. Mil
liken has been practicing medicine here
for many yeais. It transpires that dur
ing all that time he has been debauch
ing children. Many of them as young
as ten years. Several times the fact of
his infamy was made known to the par
ents of his victims, but -they. after
threatening the wretch, would let the
matter drop to prevent a scandal. Last
February two little school children
quarreled and one accused the other of
frequenting Dr. Muili ken's office for
immoral purposes. An attempt was
made to use this against Mullikeu, but
frangible evidence could not be pro
cured. ; In Juue last a similar exposi
tion was had, but on Thanksgiving day
the fences in the vicinity of Dr. Milli
keu's office contained a number of seri
ous charges against the physician, and
the people awakened to the fact that
; something must be done. An investi
gation was set on foot, and the evidence
against Milliken was of so pronounced a
character that the accused was arrested
«nd put under 110.000 bonds for a hear
ing. He disappeared and his bondsmen
will be called upon to settle. It is
charged that no Jess than forty children
nave suffered from Milliken's brutality.

Murder.
- Cincinnati, Dee. 26.— bar and
bench of Hamilton county is most rudely
shocked by the news of the suicide of
Judge Robert A. Johnston, at his resi
dence, *in : Avondale. Judge Johnston
was "a strong, brave man. genial among
his associates, a universal favorite, with
strong domestic feeling. About two
months ago his estimable wife, daugh
ter of the late Judge Ewing, died after
a long and painful illness. Since then
Judge Johnston has been known to be
broken- with grief, though be has at
tended nearly as usual to his duties:
He resided with his married daughter.
. Mrs.'Harries Hulbert, and after dinner
visited the grave of his wife at Spring
Grove cemetery. This morning he arose
and, without dressing himself, took a
revolver, which he had in his room, and
'deliberately.- fired *.' a ball through his
head, causing instantaneous death. He
was. well established financially, happy
in all his domestic relations, and has no'
known cause for this act, except for his
overwhelming - grief at the loss : of his :
lifelong • companion. ," He was . between
i fifty-five and sixty years old. -
' CONFESSES HIS CRIME.
Charles Tinkler, a Youthful For
ger, Admits the Soft Impeach
ment.
Cincinnati, Ohio. Dec. 20.— Charles,
Tinkler, the boy of nineteen who, -in
September last, forged three cheeks for
$5,000 each on the banks with which his
employer, the Boddman tobacco ware
house, has accounts, and who after
wards went to London, where he was
arrested, to-day made a confession of
his guilt. He accuses W. N. Hopkins
of instigating him to the crime, and
says Hopkins met him on the street and
received the money, and a day or two
afterward gave him the money at the
Latonia race track— all but $ 1,500. It
was planned that they should both go
to Europe, but Hopkins -only went as
far as New York, where he changed his
mind. It is singular that Tinkler's
whereabouts were discovered and -bis
arrest made possible by a letter which
he wrote from London to Hopkins. A
warrant has been issued for the arrest
of Hopkins as an accessory, and the
way is clear for both to go to Columbus
penitentiary.
Charles Hopkins, son of Ben Hop
kins, of the late Fidelity bank, was
arrested to-day for negotiating one of
Charles Tinker's forged checks. The
check in question is on the Citizens'
hank. Young Hopkins' bail is fixed at
$15,000, and be is now in jail in default
of it.

Special to the Globe.
New York, Dec. 26.— Mrs. Lottie
Wortmann to-day caused the arrest of
George W. Collas, a lawyer, who has a
family in Morristown, N. J., the charge
being that he had refused to return
$1,200 deposited with him, and for which
she produced a written receipt and
promise to return whenever requested.
Collas told the court that he had kept
the plaintiff in. funds for several years,
and that the receipt was written under
duress, plaintiff holding a revolver at
his head meanwhile, and that plaintiff
was an immoral woman and a black
mailer, and was supported by himself
and a few other men. Counsel for Mrs.
Wortmann admitted that she was sup
ported by a few other men, but stated
that, instead of Collas contributing
thereto, he had constantly obtained
large sums from her. and that she had
finally taken the precaution to retain a
receipt for the particular sum of $1,200.
Collas was locked up iv default of bail.
