Clearly Not Insane, and Deserving of
'i.. The Very Worst Punishment
Possible.
San Francisco, April 15. The stearper
'-Alameda, which arrived yesterday morn
ing from Australia, brought details of
- the Deeming murders. Nothing since
' the early days of the settlement of West
Australia has so stirred the colony to its
depths. The victims of his villainy ahd
.i murderous crimes are numerous. The
" remains of the wife which he murdered
at Windsor, southeast of. Melbourne,
' were found cemented in the walls of the
house in which they had lived together.
He was then passing under the name of
: Drew, and was apparently, of sporting
proclivities', dressed in the' height of
fashion; bedecked with diamonds, and
carried himself with , the air of a lord.
He was traced to the steamer Kaiser
Wilhelni," where he was identified as
Albert Williams. Eight days after the
crime Williams sought another victim,
rf through a matrimonial agency in Mel
bourne, and went on by steamer. ; On
' the voyage he made desperate love to a
.young lady passenger, Miss Katie
. Kounsefell, of Bathurst. ' His manner
captured the heart of the passenger, and
' .when they arrived at Sydney she had
' promised to become his wife.- He was
then traveling under the name of Baron
- Swanson, and in glowing terms pictured
to her his vast handsome revenue,- and
. made glorious promises for their future.
Step by step the detectives traced him,
aided in their search by his ostentatious
" display of diamonds and general "bearing,
. and his love entanglement with Mies
Eounaefell eventually led to his capture.
At Sydney, Swanson was. identified as
Albert Deeming, and eventually the
record of the man under the names of
. Deeming, Baron Swanson, Drew, Wil
liams and Lawson were' made bare to
"the world. Hia last victim, whose es
cape from a murder such as had been
visited upon previous ones, is the prin
cipal witness in the case against him
now. She was only a country girl of 19,
and never doubted the sincerity of
Deeming's motives. In a Utter to her
sister the unfortunate girl says: "I
- suppose you know all the news how. I
am so weary of nothing but reporters
and artists for papers. I think every
one sympathizes with me, but I was
. very unfortunate. . I will, no doubt, get
work here, and then perhaps . might see
, you again, but I will never return. Per-
; baps, dear Liz, it would be' better for
you to change our now notorious name
tinder my picture "The Intended Vic
tim." I suppose they will put me in
the wax works. Every one wants to
take us about, but I don't like leaving
the house. Every shop has flaring news
of the Windsor murder, and under every
gas jet stands a crowd reading. In all
'the railway carriages and tram-cars I
hear nothing but the same thing. AVhat
a mockery are my wedding, clothes. I
was looking at them last night."
A Bad Eggr. ' " '
Chicago, April 16. Young Jo Kasper
has been locked up for violating an in
junction secured by" his father, Frank
Kasper, enjoining Jo from interfering
with the premises 1002 West 18th street.
The father is 70 years of age and when
liiswife -was down with typhoid fever,
"went' to the, house and ' assaulted his
.father .and -prevented his siet'ers and
brothers from visiting the -old "people.
' Jo denied the charges, b"ut the, court
decreed his defense too wealc to save
him from punishment. .-. ...... " " v :
. Congress Takes, no Stock. '
Chicago, April 16. The Columbus
fair directors returned from Washington
. yesterday, and said they were not long
in the National capital before they dia
covered congress would not vote money
for the stock in the exposition." 'There
fore .they changed their tactics arid in
formed the committee a loan would be
accepted. "Not having time to consult
the committee, we did what we thought
beet," said Winston. -
.-' Snowed Under."'
Boone, la., April 14. The storm raged
all night with unabated fury and con
tinued this morning. - 'There is . nearly
eighteen inches' of snow on a level.
Later, the sun came out and the snow
" began to melt rapidly. ;" . - -
' Bnsslan Generals in Command." '
Pakis, April 13. It is said several
leading Russian generals have 16ft St.
Petersburg to take command- of ; the
troops massed on the German frontier.
Pennsylvania Has a Demon. -
Johkstown , Pa., April 15. A horrible
story of inhuman treatment became
public here today .when Albert Zitman
was arrested on two charges of cruelty
by the humane society officers. It looks
verynuch as if Zitman was preparing
to emulate Deeming's example by in
human treatment -of an old German
named Blomzuck, who was "chained to
the floor, and left to die of cold and star
vation. Zitman had also locked his own
children, seven and nine years old, in
the bouse with the body of the dead
man, and they were found lying in filth
on the bare floor. - The body of the old
German shows marks of terrible beat
ings and of bruises where his chains cut
into his limbs. The children act like
gibbering idiots, being crazed Jby the
treatment they have received. The old
man is guarded in jail to prevent the
mob from doing him justice according to
the code of Judge Lynch.

Washington, April 17. The truth in
the case of James Russel Young, recently
dismissed from the position of executive
clerk, -has came out. He was charged
with betraying the secrets oi the execu
tive session over the Behering sea mat
ter. Young was not in the chamber at
the time the matter was considered but
came in soon after. The disclosure was
made by a member of the senate, who
sent a memorandum to the newspaper
man. When Young was accused the
correspondent ' proffered lrim the en
velope upon. which the memorandum
was written with which to defend him
self. Young declined to take the en
velope or use the evidence. There, have
been several indications lately that sharp
political .and personal discussions will
soon disturb the' olive-leaved dove of
peace heretofore hovering unmolested
over the senate debates of this session.
In various ways, not plainly discernable
in the printed debates, it has become
manifest that a rather ngly feeling has
been engendered between the senators
on the republican side, arising out of the
executive clerk Young episode ; also
there has been made apparent a decided
tendency on the.part of the democratic
party to push things on a paTty line a
little more closely than has hitherto been
done. The pending debate" on the two
bills reported by the judiciary commit
tee to increase the number of judges in
the court of claims and to amend the
circuit appeal law, illustrates this latter
statement. Mr. Hoar when he called
up the bills, assured the senate that they
would not occupy more than half an
hour at the outside, yet. they occupied
three hours of rather acrimonious debate,
and one bil was left unfinished, and the
other was reconsidered after having
been adopted by a viva voce vote. Other
measures will probably be discussed for
a considerable time longer, and a divis
ion more or less on party lines is probable
upon their final adoption. ," .
. V Roughly Handled.
Washington, April 18. Rep." Wilson,
of Washington, who was prettly roughly
handled in the bureau of engraving
building on Friday, does not ceneure the
old watchman as he was simply, carry
ing out positive instructions not to per
mit any one to ascend to the upper
floors, and . "Mr." Wilson was thought
lessly in search of Chief Meredith. As
a member from the wild and wooly west
he resented ' the rough handling the
watchman, was giving him, and struck
the old fellow with a square from the
shoulder lick. - The affair created a good
deal of excitement- about the depart
ment. .; Mr. . Wilson and . Mr. Meredith
are good friends, and it is for that' rea
son the former says he regrets the occur
rence. He holds Mr. Meredith entirely
blameless for the unfortunate episode.
The affair will, of course, revive the
story of the trouble Wilson and Beck
witb, of New Jersey, bad on the floor of
the' house -about two' years ago. The
Washington . representative generally
stands up for his rights, and the fact
that be weighs only about 120 pounds
does not interfere with his courage. He
will have to take a great deal of chaffing
on- account of this affair from his -colleagues
iiLthe house, and will again be
styled "Fighting Wilson of Washington.'

LIVELY SCENES IN EMPIRE STATE.
When. Young Cliiccory's Winter Con
ventlon Tried to 'Disfranchise,.:
. . ; " Democracy.
New Yoek, April 18. A prominent
publishing house of this -city have just
taken the copy for a new book which it
is calculated will cause a sensation in
political circles: - It is well written up,
and is devoted chiefly to describing Sen
ator Hill, posing as a democrat; and is
made up from actual facts and speeches
of leading democrats of the state of New
York. Its opening chapters pictures
.Daniel, in- the., executive- mansion' at
Albany, plotting, and "describes the con
dition of the mansion as the wife of his
successor found it His February con
vention is described as being necessarily
held in the winter, as Frank M. Thome
said : "Because he knew what sort of a
gang his convention would contain, and
he naturally wished to bold the conven
tion before th"e.weatber.got warm enough
tojencourage its tendency to putrefaction.
He knew that such a convention as that
coulden't endure its Own society in
warm weather, long enough to hatch
anything.", He is then takento Wash
ington, where adecent democrat couldn't
be found to introduce him, and be fell
back upon the sympathies of an old
school mate from. Oregon, a republican
(Dolph) who, in . the kindness of his
heart, did the act as graciously as he
could.. A large part of the book is faken
np witu quotations jrom dimocratic
speeches, , of a most, withering "kind.
One of which is'like this, from a speech
at the T5ig meeting in Buffalo April 5th:
The speaker said : "Within the last
three months he has been for . tariff re
form, and against tariff reform, by a re
vival of 'the republican abomination
.of 1883; against a nibbling tariff reform,
for a nibbling tariff reform; and again
against the nibble. He has been for and
against free coinage and has mysteriously
straddled due south by north upon it.
And so this burlesque political skirt
dancer cavorts and kicks and twists
and turns and bows and smirks and
throws kisses at the political baldheads,
and tries to palm himself off as an in
nocent young thing of beauty and a joy
, j t i i .a r
,urecr auua clattI -ca" ",caul "Kr".J
when all the while he is simply making
an indecent exposure of himself, as a
political Btreet-walker. offering himself
body and soul at the low price of a vote
or a delegate. Applause. J "Hill is
very eloquent on a type writer, it he
dosen't happen to forget his extempor
aneous carpet-bag. Laughter. Having
named the delegates and the "alternates,
(in his Ftbruary convention) and re
lieved" the democratic party of the
trouble of nominating electors at.- the
usual fall convention ; having, it is eaid,
even prescribed the soubriquet of Young
Hickory by which he was introduced,
which the satirists have nappily eon
verted into Young (Jhiccory, to indicate
his quality ; having usurped all the usual
functions of the delegates, nothing was
left for the convention but to cough
when Young Chiccory sneezed..! It was
as absolutely void of opinion or volition
as a cartload of spoilt clams in a compost
heap in .August. And. so by Young
Chiccory's command, in not a speeh,
resolution, or other proceeding, was the
name of Cleveland permitted to appear."
Pumping vs. Gravity.
Spokane, April 18. A visitor to this
city who has observed the controversy
upon the water question which is at
present agitating the public, says to a
reporter:- "It would seem like carrying
coals to Newcastle to build a dam for
the purpose of making power to pump
water for your beautiful city when it is
so simple a matter to siphon pure water
from up- the river, beyond contamina
ting' influences", to your reservoir. It
seems to me that this could be done for
the amount that is asked for the eite in
question, and would do away with the
danger that would accrue from dam
ming the rivef at the point proposed."
" Cleveland In J-'ow York.
New Yobi, April . 18. Ex-Mayor
Grace, in a conversation yesterday said :
"If Cleveland cannot carry New York
who can? There is no democratic leader
who commands the enthusiastic support
of the rank and file of the party in this
state that Grover Cleveland does. His
popularity rests not on . patronage, nor
upon the activity of politicians working
in his behalf. The Cleveland sentiment
is the spontaneous expression of prefer
ence for a leader who is known to be
trustworthy." - - .

April 18. Recently the
heirs of a family named Howland, dis
covered an Obligation held against this
4
state, bearing date of .1770, which, sto
gether with principal and interest, ag
gregated $500,000. The law under which
the debt was originally incurred pro
vided that it should be paid - in Spanish
milled dollars. A subsequent act pro
vided that the issue of 1770 notes could
be paid in new notes, "equivalent to the
silver," issued in 1736. These old "notes
of 1786 had been preserved, and- when
the claimants under the notes of 1770
called foe their $500,000 last week Slate
Treasurer Clarke took the attorney of
the claimant to the" treasury vault -and
.told him to help ' himself to as many
-millions as he wanted, from sonie 20 old
haircloth trunks, stuffed with notes' of
the 1786 issue, -each one bearing on its
face the legend:' "This is equivalent to
silver,' and thus the state was saved,
by paying him in strict conformity to
the ancient and unrepealed law, which
says the notes of 1770-must be redeemed
by the notes of 1786. When Mr. Rider,
the claimant, arrives he will be intro
duced to his treasure, and express wag
ons will be at his service for the removal
of the compound interest. If he declines
to accept and cart away his money there
is the old and also unrepealed law ' pro
viding line, imprisonment, and stripes,
"well. laid on," for any one who refuses
these notes in payment of that particular
debt. .- . - . ,
Deeming in Los Angeles. -
Los Angeles, April" 17. Deeming the
Demon married a Mrs. Catching in this
city, in January 188S, under the name
of Williams." :She was too confiding for
her own good. Her -speculative spouse
was allowed the freedom of her bank
savings, and one day Mrs. Williams
found both her money and husband
gone. This was in the spring of. 1888,
and nothing has ever been seen or heard
of him since. He took about $2,000, all
ehe had saved in long years. It -was
never known where he went, but it was
that be came from Australia. Mrs.
Catching, however,' whom he married,
robbed and deserted, is not inclined to
believe the identity of thV two men.
She professes to see no striking similarity
in the photographs, but it is a sore sub
ject with her,, naturally, and slie could
hardly be expected to confess that she
had once been allied with a wretch, like
Deeming. . " . .

' The old Idea of 40 years ago was that facial
eruptions were due to a "blood, humor," or
which they gave potash.- Tims all the old Sarsa
parillas contain potash, a moat objectionable and
drastic mineral, that instead of decreasing,
actually creates more eruptions. Tou have no
ticed this when taking other Earsaparlllas than
Joy's. It Is however now known that the stom
ach, the blood creating power. Is the seat of all
vitiating or cleansing operations. A stomach
clogged by indigestion or constipation, vitiates
the blood, result pimples. A clean stomach and
heolUiful digestion purines it and they disappear.
Thus Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla is compounded
after the modern idea to regulate the bowels and
stimulate the digestion. The effect is immediate
and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to
contrast the action of the potash SarsaparUlas
and Joy's modern vegetable preparation. - Mrs,
C. D. .Btuart, of 400 Hayes 8L, 6. F., writes: " I
have for years had Indigestion, I tried a popular
Sarsaparilla but it actually caused more pimples
to break out on my face. Bearing that Joy's was
a later preparation and acted differently, I tried
it and the pimples immediately disappeared." -
