Killed Her Betrayer.
Hastings, Neb.,Jan. 20 Mrs. Amanda
Mason, a young woman, was arrainged
yesterday on suspicion of assassinating
Judge David S. Cole last July. She
pleaded gnilty and was sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary. Cole, a prom
inent and wealthy man of this city, was
found dead in his park on tbe night of
July 31. He bad been shot tbrongb tbe
brain. It was supposed t that he had
committed suicide, bat last week Mrs.
Mason confessed to tbe sheriff that she
murdered Cole because be betraved her.
With tears streaming down her handsome
face, tbe woman told this story m court:
''Two years ago I was happily married;
then ray home was broken np by sick
ness, and my husband and I separated.
We were to'live together as soon as he
was able to make a living. I began by
learning music, praticing at the bouse of
Mr. Cole's daughter. Mr. Cole asked me
if I would not like to do something to
pay for tbe lessons I was taking, and
then he wanted me to do writing for him
at bis office. I would not do it at first,
but finally went and was betrayed. My
husband found it out some way, and I
confessed ail to him . He said 'That man
has got to die, and if yon won't kill him
I will.' I discouraged it but be kept
urging me, and finally I said that if be
thought it my duty I would do it.
About three weeks before Mr. Cole was
shot my husband gave me a revolver and
showed me bow to use it. My courage
failed me once, and then I made arrange
ments for a meeting with Mr. Cole at tbe
park south of bis place. Late at night I
met him. He was in a bad humor, and
taunted me with what be bad made me,
and I fired blindly and be fell dead.
They will make an exhaustive report,
witb tbe recommendation tnat a similar
institution on a larger scale be established
in connection with tbe Oregon penitenti
ary.

Arrest of Ir. IIcrz.
London, Jan. 20 Dr. Cornelius Herz
was arrested at midnight, on demand of
the French government, on tbe charge of
having been fraudulently implicated in
tbe Panama swindling and corruption.
Tbe detectives assigned to make the ar
rest went about tbe work very cautiously,
as, although it was reported Herz was
sick, tbey thought from bis previous re
cord, both' in America and France, that
be might be shamming illness, and
would take an opportunity to escape. It
was known that Herz was at tbe Tanker-
vi lie hotel, Bournemouth. Arriving
there, tbe detectives were informed that
Herz was too ill to be seen, but tbey in
sisted, and followed the porter to the
door. Mis. Herz responded to tbe knock,
and, after some parley, tbe detectives an
nounced their official .character, and in
sisted on being admitted to the outer
room. Mrs. Herz retired to her busbad's
sleeping apartments. She came out in a
lew moments. Her face showed signs of
grief and agitation She could hardly
restrain her tears as she said : "Gentlemen,
Dr. Herz ia loo ill to get up; you are
welcome io go in and see for yourselves."
The detectives entered .tS sleeping
room and fdund Herz' in bed.' He bad
just been piopped up with pillows by bis
wife., ills lace looked pale and wasted,
bis eyes sunken, and be bore every sign
of being a very sick man.

more Cabinet Talk.
Washington, Jan. SO A great many
romois have been floating about regard
ing tbe cabinet, one ot tbem being that
Gresham bas been invited to a teat at
Cleveland's council board. : In case a
number of the supreme judges should
die, and there- would be enough vacan
cies to insure a Democratic supreme
court, Cleveland might offer Gresham
a place on tbe supreme bench, other
wise he is not liable to receive aDVthing
from the next administration. Cabinet
speculations, which leave Morrison ont
of the slate, are not apt to be very good.
In case the pension bureau is transferred
from tbe interior department to the war
department, Morrison may be made sec
retary ot war. If tbe bill fails to pass, it
is possible Morrison will be secretary of
tbe interior. Carlisle is sure to be sec
retary of tbe treasury. Dickinson is
probably slated for secretary of state, and
Lamont will probably have a place in
tbe cabinet. Two men from tbe south
and one from tbe Pacific coast will be
selected, ; , . .
The Panama Canal.
Paris, Jan. 21 M. Andrieux told tbe
parlicaeotary commission today that
some years ago be received from Brazil a
letter signed "Amal" in which Baron de
Reinach was accused of having hired the
writer to poison Cornelius Herz. When
the letter was fhowD to Reinach, be pre
tended that be wished merely to frighten
Herz into leaving Paris. There are three
counts in tbe indictment against Corne
lius Herz. The first concerns tbe 600,000
trancs received by him from Charles de
Ltssepa, tbe second 2,000,000 francs re
ceived by him from Baron de Reinaca
The third, tbe menacing , letter written
by bim witb the intention of black
mailing Baron de Reiuach. Tbe total
number of Arton checks is now known to
be 1010. Of this number probably the
majority are excluded from legal cODsid
eration by the statute of limitations. The
parlimentary commission may examine
the stubs of these checks, but tbe judges
are bound to ignore them. -The -most
important checks in question, however.
were drawn in 1887 and 1888 for the
benefit of deputies, . theatrical beauties
and other professional persons, mostly
women and newspaper men. The whole
sum involved by the stubs is some 6,000,
000 francs. V
Additional Deaths.
St Louis, llo Jan. 22 Eleven addi
tional deaths up to 6 o'clock is the
record of the catastro p he at Alton
Junction since midnight.
. Ail of these died at the hospital
at Alton except two, whose dead bodies
were found near tbe scene of the wreck
this morning. There are 14 injured
whom tbe hospital physicians say can
not recover. . Besides, there are more
than a score wbo sustained injuries of
a more or less serious nature, whose
names could not be learned. Of the
latally injured, all were more or less
seriously burned about the limbs and
body, but tbe worse injuries sustained
were fearfully burned beads and faces,
also those injured internally from inhal
ing tbe flames, which scorched their
throats. Their escape from instant death
was miraculous. Tbe others injured suffer
onms on various parts of tbe bead,
limbs and body. The wreck and its con
sequences are the topic of conversation
in Alton today. -..

Food Becoming; Scarce.
New Brunswick, Mass., Jan. 20
For tbe last three days tbe steamer wbicb
carries supplies to tbe 15,000 people liv
ing on tbe island of Nantucket has been
enable to make the island, owing to tbe
difficulty of breaking tbe vast ice floes
which sre between tbe mainland and tbe
island. Wben tbe steamer last touched
at Nantucket, the people there had scanty
supplies of provisions, and fears are enter
tained that there may be much suffering
before communication with tbe island
can be resumed. An effort was - msde
last night to get a tug across from
Wood's Hill, but it was unsuccessful.
Tbe tog returned at 11 o'clock and re
ported that it was impossible to get
through the ice, and that it would prob
ably take four days to effect a passage.
In the meantime tbe people ot tbe island
will be brought to an extremity. Mid ¬
way between tne isiana and tbe main
land is a channel filled with floating ice.
On each side tbe ice is insecure, so that
passage over the ice is impossible.

Seattle, Jan. 20 T. B. Elder, a
hardware- dealer, and member of the ter
ritorial legislature of 1887, hanged him
self in tbe basement of his store on Front
street this morning. The cause was des
pondency over business troubles and
shock at tbe death of bis son in a railroad
accident. Of late his creditors have
pressed him, especially one hardware
bouse in Portland. This morning be
sent a clerk from tbe store to get a load
of coal, and in bis absence 'banged him

Egyptian Sltoatlon.
London, Jan. 23 The Egyptian situ
ation is assuming a gravity which, for
the time, puts all other issues in the back
ground. The foreign office has received
a telegram from Lord Cromer saying that
the khedive intimated bis intention to
refer to Turkey and the treaty powers tbe
action of England in causing tbe dis
missal of tbe Fakbn cabinet. The Da
tives ere more excited than at any time
since the outbreak under Arabi Pasha,
Tbe cabinet held a consultation on tbe
Egypian crisis, duriotr which a stream
of telegrams was received from Cairo.
Tbe prolonged session is said to be due
to tbe difference of opinion as to tbe ne
cessity of reinforcing tbe army in Egypt
for tbe purpose of looking after matters
at Cairo and. protecting the frontier
against dervishes, who become threat
ening. Wben tbe cabinet adjourned it
was to meet at 4 p. u. France bas given
notice to Great Britain that, while re
fraining from objecting to Biaz Pasha as
premier, she would maintain the right ot
tbe khedive to choose bis ministers. Tbe
British force in Egypt numbers about
3400, and there, are 19,000 native troops
nnder command of British officers. Tbey
bave reached a high degree of efficiency
under tbe British drillmasters. .
. Cairo, Jan . 23 A correspondent bad
an interview today witb Lord Cromer,
British representative in Egypt. Cromer
said: "There is no cause to apprehend
a disturbance, but you are at liberty to Impounded by him
say tbat it a disturbance sboald occur 1
guarantee it will be of short duration."
Paris, Jan. 23 A dispatch from Cairo
says the sultan bas telegraphed tbe khe
dive congratulations on bis attitude to
