FRIDAY MAY
1891.
Count Von Moltke, the chief niar-
shall of the German Empire, died last
l'nday, aged 91 years.
Mrs. Katon, a sister of President
Harrison, was seriously injured by be
ing thrown from a carriage at Cle es,
Ohio, on Sunday. It was at first
thought that her injuries were fatal,
but late advices say that she is out of
danger. .
A bill in the interest of constables
has been introduced in the House, for
the payment of a fee to these officials
for monthly visitations made under the
Brooks license law. The bill pro
vides that they shall receive 50 cents
each visit, onedol.ar tor e .ch written
return of violation of license law, and
six cents mileage for each necessarily
traveled. The present law makes no
provision for their payment.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Special Correspondence of Tin Columbian
Hakrisburg, April 20, 1801.
The general Road bill has passed
nnauy in tne iiof.se. when it came
uiu uiuu leaning ycMCluay, iur
Colton, of Allegheny, spoke in oddo
sition to it. He said he would vote
for it just to get rid of it, as, in his
estimation, it would do neither good
nor harm, t-apt bkinner, of 1-ulton,
in Droteslinir aeainst it said that the
sum of $1,000,000 is too small to re
pair the roads, and that the bill would
be no improvement on the present
svstem. Mr. Lvtle. of Huntingdon.
wanted to go into Committee of the
wnoie ior me purpose ot inserting the
county engineer feature, but his mo
tion was voted down. After other
speeches, nro and con. hv several
members, the bill passed by a vote of
103 yeas to 75 nays, a bare constitu
tional majority, it was a stubborn
fight. On the first call of the roll it
was defeated, but several memDers
changed their votes, claiming they had
voted under a misapprehension. Mr.
Gillan. of Franklin, finally nrntptd
gainst the changing of votes, and that
ome members came to the clerk's
lesk to see how the matter stood be
fore making the change The bill
has already passed the Senate, and
goes to tne governor.
THE COMPULSORY EDUCATION BILL.
The House Dassed finally vestnrdav
the bill introduced by Mr. Far, of
lackwanna, the Compulsory Educa-
wu uiu. a 1 icquircs uic parents or
guardians of children between eiVht
and twelve years of age to send their
ciiuuren to ine puonc, proveroial or
private schools at least sixteen consecu
tive weeks in each vear. The nenaltv
for a violation of the act is a fine of
$3 for the first conviction, and $5 for
ach subsequent conviction. The bill
now goes to the Senate, and if it pass
es then what fate it will meet with at
the hands of the Governor, your cor
respondent is not able to say.
THE MUNICIPAL LIEN BILL.
When the bill of Senator Flinn,
of Allegheny, was called up yesterday
creating and relating to municipal
liens, for concurrence in the House
amendments, Senator Ross, of Bucks,
criticised the measure because of in
sufficient notice to non-resident prop
erty owners. As it affected boroughs,
whose government wis altogether dif
ferent from that of cities of the second
class, the suggested amendments re
quired notice to be published in at
least two newspapers in the proper
county for three weeks. The bill in
volved a possible liability of jeopardiz
ing titles to property. Senator Flinn
asked that the matter go over, and
said heould be only too glad to have
it amended to meet the objections of
the Senator from Bucks.
THE DOCKAGE BILL.
A war of words took place in the
Senate on Monday night between
Senators, Thompson, Republican, of
Dauphin, and Hines, Democrat, of
Luzerne. It grew out of the bill to
prohibit the dockage of coal in the
Anthracite coal fields. This bill had
an easy passage through the House,
its opponents reserving their strength
for the battle that was sure to result
in the Senate. It came, however, a
little sooner than was expected, being
precipitated by the Senator from Luz
erne, who asked for the postponement
of the bill on account of the meagre
ittendance of Senators. Thompson in
terposed an objection, which, of course
was sufficient to defeat its considera
tion. Then Hines took the floor, and
spoke warmly in favor of the bill,
fe intimated in unmistakable terms
iat the Senator from Dauphin county
- as simply violating the sentiments of
ie corporations, and said that during
Iw jmst two weeks he had witnessed
he most shameful proceeding to de
feat the proposed legislature. He
cited figures to show the injustice to
which minors were subjected by the
dockage of coa', which he denounced
a robbery. Then Thompson had his
s.iv, in which he contended, the bill
was the most iniquitous he had ever
seen presented to the Legislature. He
insinuated that the speech of the Sen
ator from Luzerne incited the miners
to break contracts and commit other
indiscretions, and had ridden into
office by his demagogucry, while he
should have been relegated to ob
scurity. The yeas and nays were call
ed by Senator Hines on the first sec
tion, on which eight Democrat were
recorded in favor and fifteen Re
publicans against. This showed no
quorum, and a call of the Senate was
had. Then the yeas were called on a
second vote, and the yeas were eleven
all Democrats except Bates, of Union,
and sixteen nays, sll Republicans.
This kills the bill for this session. At
least workincmen will, it is hoped,
some of these days learn who their
true mends are.
THE BALLOT REFORM BILL.
In the Senate yesterday Senator
Kapsher, Democrat, of Carbon, offer
ed a resolution requesting the report
ing of the Baker Ballot Reform bill
to-day, as it had been before the Com
mittee on Flections sufficiently long
to justify such action, senator Crouse
Republican, of Philadelphia, explained
that four members or the Committee
on Elections were absent with the
Committee on Appropriation, and that
the bill would be reported after the
hearing of it on Thursday. The re
solution was then referred to the
Committee on Elections. The truth
remains, however, that the Republi
can bosses are opposed to ballot or
any other reform in the interests of
the people, and the passage of the bill
is at least questionable.
THE SOLDIER'S ORPHANS' INVESTIGATION
A resolution last night to grant an
extension of powers to the com
mittee to investigate the conduct of
the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools elicited
considerable debate in the House. The
resolution however finally passed.
WANT THE BENEFIT OK THE SCHOOL
FUND.
The bill introduced by Senator Hall
of Elk, to turn parochial schools over
to the care of the Department of
Public Instruction, whereby these
schools can come in for a share of the
public school fund, is meeting with
bitter opposition, especially from the
order of the Sons of America, and
Senators are besieg-d with letters and
remonstrances against its passage. The
impression is it will not become a law.
A REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN.
A pretty fight is going on in Re
publican camp just now over the elec
tion of a chairman of the Republican
State Committee. The contest is be
tween Representative Baker, of Dela
ware county, and Senator Woods, of
the Juniata district. Baker is an
avowed anti-Quay man, and it is not
thought the silent junior U. S. Senator
will permit him to have control of the
affairs of the Republican organization.
But "it is none of our funeral," and
let the fight go on. The people of
the State will be the gainers in the
complete discomfiture of both factions
of the Republican party.

A DEPRAVED WOMAN SLASHED TO PIECES
IN A NEW YORK HOTEL HER MURDER
ER STEALS AWAY UNDETECTED A
DULL TABLE KNIFE USED THE
POLICE AFTER THE MURDERER.
New York. ADril 2s A murder as
horrible in its details as those recent
ly committed in the Whitechapel dis
trict of London was Demetrated in a
hotel in the most populous part of our
city somewhere between the hours of
II o'clock last night and a nVWJt
this morning by an unknown man who
1 .
nas disappeared as mysteriously as if
the earth had opened and swallowed
him.
The victim was a woman of the
Streets, and was cut in nrerisplv the
same manner as those unfortunates
who fell victims to "Jack the Ripper."
The man who accompanied the wom
an to the hotel is described as similar
to the famous Whitechapel butcher.
The woman, when discovered at 9.
45 o'clock this morninc hv F.dw.ir1
Fitzgerald, the clerk of the Fourth
Ward Hotel, where the crime was
committed, was lying naked on the
bed in room 31, on the top floor,
where she and her escort were shown
at II o'clock last nicht. The sheet
and her underclothing, which were of
poor quauty ana airty, were tied tight
ly about the throat and head, and the
abdomen was cut and slashed in
horrible manner by a dull, broken
tauie Knne, winch lay on the floor not
far from the bed. The viscera had
been cut and from appearances a part
was missing, ine man had disappeared,
although no one had
the hotel.
The body of the woman had not linen
touched since Fitzeerald die,
her, and the Coroner, making a hasty
tAaiuiuauuu, iuunu mat sne had been
dead qnite a number of hours. He
removed the cloths from her face and
neck and revealed a ghastly visage.
i tic tongue was out ol the mouth and
swollen, the eyes bulged from their
sockets, the nose was flattened to the
' face, and about the neck was a circle
of congealed blood.
J The appearance of the face con
1 vinced the Coroner that the woman
had first been strangled and then cut.
On turning over the body it was found
that the murderer had left his mark.
The broken end of the knife hnd been
used to make a large cross on the base
of the spine. Everything about the
room was in a state of disorder, al
though it might have been in this con
dition before the couple entered it.
The rooms on the top floor of the lodging-house
are nothing more than spa
ces divided off by thin board parti
tions. All the adjoining rooms were
occupied last night, but their tenants
had left the hotel when the body was
discovered. If the man had been
noisy in his work the people in the
other rooms must certainly heard him.
but if they did they said nothing about
it to the clerk.
An examination of the register
showed that Room 28 was occupied by
John Walsh and -ifc; Room 29, by J.
Buckley; Room 30 by O'connor and
wife; and Room 32, by a man named
Riley. Proprietor Jennings and the
assistant housekeeper, Mary Munitor,
went up to the Oak Street Police Sta
tion and then told Coroner Schultz
and Police Captain O'Connor all they
knew about the case.
The housekeeper said that the mur
dered woman. s companion wore a
white, tnrned down collar and a dark
biown cutaway coat. He was decid
edly German in appearance, but she
could not tell from his appearance how
long he had been in this country.
She said he resembled a sea-faring
man. Mary said that the woman was
a well known character around the
neighborhood, but no one seemed to
know her or where she lived. The
police are scouring the city and the
vessels at the docks for the murderer.
