The Morgue Question. The N. Y. World ol
this morning sa.vs: The question of erecting rt

siou In the Common Counoll of that city for a
year past. There has been no other place for
the reception of the unfortunate dead than
the old Do-id-House, which. In Us arrange
nn nts, is far from conformable to modern
Notions. Accordingly, at a recent meeting
of the Coancll, H was decided that n
committee of fourteen gentlemen should
visit Mew York find Inspect the Morgue esta
Idifchcd at Uellevue Hosplial, for the purpose of
reporting the method of coustructlou. tmuitiiry

they were received by Mr. Bell, aud at once
shown over the entire establishment. They
were, however, more particularly inte
rested B the Morgue and examined all its
details with considerable care. It happened
that tbero was no poor waif of humanity in the
Morgue awnitlng recognition, for though the
body of a "founl drowned" bad been reoeivod
a few hours previously, it was In the hands
of the photographer, in order (according to
the rules rerentlv adopted) that Its linea
ments may be preserved, with such scraps
of clothing as clung to It. for two
vnars next, vnmilnt?. At the conclu
sion or tbelr visit tbe delegations were unani
mous in their expressions of approval ta Mr.
Bell of all they bud seen In the establishment,
and seemed Inclined to recommend the cou
struct Ion of something very similar in tbetv

different parts of the city in the afternoon, and
in the evening were present, at the representa
tion of in Forty Thieves, by Invitation of the
Jesses of Kioto's.

A Suspicious Circumstance A Broker's
Box FoTJii Rifled. This morning a police
man of the Eighteenth district picked up a tin
box. which had the appearance of being a
broker's money box, on a lot above Allegheny
avenue, and east ol Gunner's run. It had been
forced open, ana there was nothing in it exoept
a ten cent note and a pass book, on which was
Inscribed tbe name of Henry McLaughlin.
Within lis pages were a number of accounts
whloh look as though the owner was engaged
la stock operations. It Is supposed that some
broker has been robbed, aud after the contents
have been stolen the box has been thrown

Wbalen's Accomplices lu tbe Assassina
tion. Tr&ni the Toronto Telegraph, Feb. 15.
Whalen stated that there were two othors
engaged in tbe Infernal plot, the carrying out
of which has forfeited his life, aud that he did
not flie the shot. This, however, was not stated
on the gallows. We now have oertain evidence
before us which, in a very strong sense, confirms
this statement. On the northwest corner of
O'Connor and Sparks streets stood a building
occupied by Mr. George Clarke as a hotel. A
lady who was a boarder in this house, and who
then occupied a front room on Bparks street,
recollects hearing a buggy drive off from the
front of the building about or Immediately
after tbe report of the pistol shot was heard on
the morning of tbe murder. Now, further past
this hotel there was no fence, and the field was

Tbe Chicago Tribune of Thursday morning
Barhe ofllce of Justice Snmmerfleld was the
scene of such developments yesterday tu if
but a tithe of them be proven true tnoy will
rnnk among Ihe most horrible aud appalling
thct have ever coruo to light la this city. Al
leged proof of notnlna less thin three dlslluoti
murders was paitiaily ventilated, murders
committed under circumstances most unuiitu

Is a lopf lenldent physician of this city, named
Charles Karl, who In now under arrest, awivltlng
the lfcsue of tbe cpho. 1 he other pnrltes are yet
nt large, but will probably bo looked after al the
proper time.
The prosecuting- witness in the first cuses la
Jciinuetto Karl, formerly the wile of the ac
cused, itnpoeiirs tlmtshu wns married to the
doctor about live years ago, being men a widow
with a child tliri e years of age, and lived with
him until two yesirs u'to, when she applied fo
and obtained a divorce. A boy had been born
to tbem, and in the decree of separation no pro
vision was made re;j irdiriR the custody of the
child. Under the luw, unless ot.her.vlH0 pro
vitled.the lather has super vision ol the children,
niid as tlio doctor refuted to givo up the
boy, the mother whs reluctantly compelled
to seek his presence In order to see
her child. Sbo Jiually consumed to
live in the tame ho lira with him, and at the
present time she resides al Nn. lijij 8. Jctlersnn
street, where the Doctor alNo hassopitraloapart
ineutN. Bliico their separation sue alleges ho
bus often broached the subjoot off remarriage,
Shu has stoutly resisted all overtures, and tnis
r'fnal hs often sutjeted her, slia Bays, tu
severe abuse. Wueutuey were yet mra and
wife, ishe s'tttes she had urave douois as to the
lesltiiuacv of the Doctor's calling; and these
suspicions were the chief cause for their piu t
Ing. In June last, she alleges she in ule further
discoveries, which h:ive since weighed heavily
on her mind, and during the past three months
she has revealed thorn to several of our mast
nrcminent citizens, who. besides giving hoi
t-ome good advice, ofl'evod to protect her la caso
she choose to prosecute the doctor.
The Doctor being reairested, Mis. Eavl tos-
llhed against him as iviiowf :
My name is Jeanuctte Kail. I was married
to the doctor about live years ago. W 0 hud oue
child, a boy, whose custody was lelt uusetlled
by the court. Therefoie, for the sake ot my
child, 1 have lived In the same house with the
doctor since onr separation. Honiewhere about
I be middle of last June 1 wsss in the doctor's
ollice, which was then at Itounis No. 8 and 4
Berlin Block. I was iu the reception-room,
and ho called mo Into the private ofllce, after
which he lucked tl.o door. Ho then said,
"Come here, and look," and with that he
took something from a drawer, wrapped in a
w hive cloth, and, uuwindlug it, isvealed the
bedv of a full-grown boy iuluiit. He remarked:
"This is Mis. Bobdfrll's cblid. You did not
have confidence in n:c, aud told me lo be care
lul: you were afraid I would kill soiaaio I y;
now you see. I don't know whether Lo'Rlell or
his wife heard it; it did cry once, but 1 did not
allow it to cry again." He then showed me how
he had strangled it around the neck, aud I saw
tbe linger marks. I said, "Great Ood ! It makes
my blood run cold !" and turned away. I looked
once more afterward;'. Knwlcg what profes
sion he was in, I asked him what ho did with
tbeni. "Yon came in one day," ho said, "when
1 had a hot tire; I had a purpose la that." The
child I saw looued as if It had beea alive. I
have retained the doctor's name for my boy's
Cross-examlted I have known the doctor
live yearb; have bteu hH wile; obtained a
divorce two years ago; have a child by him; I
have lived In the same house with him again
since the 1st of October; he has severely
uhnsed mo on several occasions; I told him he

had hitherto been held to him out of fear; he
threatened my life if 1 ever reveaieu any or nis

The bonded debt of the United States, as it
now stands, has been put lu and withdrawn
from the market no less tnan three times.
"Whenever it is hinted that the uovernment in
tend secretly to place upon or secretly with
draw from the market a certain amount of
bonds or gold, the greatest excitement Is created
in tbe money market, rendering it exceedingly
tremulous and unstable. The happy few wuo
have known and taken advantage of the real
facts of the case at the time are to-day revelling
in the wealth thus obtained, while the great
mass interested in financial matters have
suffered great inconvenience and loss by
being forced to await the final action of
the Treasury jjeparimem in every Instance
where such secret sale has been made. In

paid to Drokers in tne Treasury ring have
amounted to a very large sum. No more com

A Reminiscence of I'irly Days,'
The explanations and qualifications made
by liutler to take oil the edge of his Wednes
day's insolenoo, remind oue of that early legis
lative experience of his his quurrel with
Speaker Bliss, of the Massachusetts House of
Kepresentatlves, many years ago. Tbe occa
sion of his rage then was a deolslon of the Chair,
and in the first transport of his fury he ex
pressed a wish to "kulle the old ouss," as he
elegantly expressed it. Being called toacoount
for such language, he declared he only wunted
to "knife the Speaker's deolslon,' whloh Is a
very harmless, if not very Intelligible
amusement. Mr, Bohenok's support of
UvBWnl UftUer, and uis. reflvoUyn ou
Mr. O ifflx, go to show that there 1'
Home troth in tne story (which we hoped was a
fabrication) of a growing hns'.llity towards lhn
Inromlng admlnlHtrat ion, on the pirt or som
of tbe leading Kepabllcan members of Con
gress. They evidently distrust Grant, and
menu to make a combination ngalnst, him; but
not venturing as yet to attack him openly, tjey
show their lli-wlll towards Mr. Oolfx. his asso
ciate on the ticket and. his intimate friend.
This Is after the fthlon of tne small boy. who
said, when angry with his school fo'low, "I
don't cart; If I can't llok yon I can makeup
fscesatyour sister." Hut Otlfax, as wall as
Grant, can afford to smile at their suspicious
and their Ul-nature. Nnr ma field KepublicoLn.

London, Feb. 20. Tho failure of the United
States Senate to ratify tho treaty recently con
cluded between Clarendon and Beverdy John
sou, for the settlement of the Alabama claims,
has elicited the following comments from the
London journals ol this morning:
The Standard (conservative) regrets the re
jection of the convention, after the protracted
and laborious negotiations. Advances for a
new treaty must come from the United States.
Tngland Is now unfettered from concessions,
and will only treat hereafter on terms of abso
lute eeiuality.
The limes says the present treaty has testified
the amity of Eugland, aud its falluro does not
endanger the friendly relations between the two
countries, but will rather serve as a warning in
arranging tbe points of a new convention.
Tbe i'os (conservative) regrets the rejection
of the treaty only on account of the delay It
will occasion in the restoration of friendly re
lations between Great Bii tain and the United
States.
