Bomb, Not. 9.—This city was startled
yesterday by the announcement that
tome scoundrel or scoundrels had dese
crated tho tomb of the Countess Mlrafi
aria, the morganatic wife of the late
King Victor Emanuel. Following
close on the Pantheon incident, which
occurred on October 3 last, the present
outrage has created another burst of
popular indignation and again danger
ously strained the relations existing
between the government and the Vat
ican. The rascals implicated in out
raging the tomb of the Countess Ml
rafloria forced it open and set fire to
the coffin, evidently with the object of
burning the corpse. The ghouls, how
ever, were unable to carry out their
designs owing to the solidity of the
zinc cell which formed the inner por
tion of the casket. They succeeded, it
is true, i» slightly burning the face
and feet of the countess, and entirely
destroyed the outer casket.
The police have not as yet made any
arrests in tint case; but luey are lollow
ing up several cues which may lead to
the luuutitiuation ana punishment of
the miscreants engaged in this work.
A aark lantern, a wooden mallet,
a piece of candle and cloth
cap, such as those worn by men
belonging to the working class, are in
possession of the police, and are being
used to hunt down the perpetrators of
■this latest outrage. Opinions are di
vided as to the cause of this sacrilege.
The supporters of the government, jwho
are in a very large majority, claim it is
the work either of paid agents of the
Vatican or fanatics who are incensed
at the fact that there is a possibility of
the pope being compelled to leave
Home. On the other hand the friends
of the Vatican say that they can see
in the Mirafioria incident further evi
dence of the desire of the Italian gov
ernment, through secret agents, to in
crease the bitter, dangerous feeling al
ready expressed against the Vatican.
A Grave situation.
Viena, Nov. 9.—The Austrian
budget for the year 1893 was made
pnUic today. The gravity of the situ
ation of affairs in Europe can be
judged from the fact that the esti
mated amount of money asked for the
expense of the war department is
131.700.000 florins, or an increase of
4.500.000 florins over the estimates for
1891. With this additional
money Austria proposes to
raise forty-two reserve batteries of
artillery to effective or war strength
and she also proposes to tpend 1,000,000
florins unon strengthening the Aus
trian fortress upon the Ualican frontier
and standing in the way of a Russian
army which might be advancing from
Russian Poland. Finally 235 lieuten
ants are to be added to the infantry
regiment. For marine or admiralty
expenses the sum of 11,600,000 florins i.
estimated to bo the amount of money
required.

mayor, David Evans, Esq., a Welsh
man who represented the Castle Bay
nardward in the boat of alderman,
managed to enjoy himself considerably
in spite of the weather. The Welsh
nationality of the lord mayor re
ceived due attentiop in the fact
that three out of five of the
rain soaked triumphal cars were illus
trative of the history of her industriet
ot Wales. “Beef eaters”foresters, fire
men, keepers of Epping life boat men
etc., were there in all their glory, bu
the rain spoiled everything, dampened
the most vigorous enthusiasm and may
be said to have completely broken U|
the great annual show in which the
cockney so much delights.

Sicgmuni Sommerfleld died today
from the wound he inflicted upon him
self on Saturday last at the same time
that his son Felix took his own
life. The Sommerflelds as
already stated in ■ addition to
shooting, themselves had opened
reins in their arms, and when found
were literally bathed in blood. Sieg

builet in his brains, but Felix,
who, by the way, was a well

from the Sommerfleld bank ea*> on
Saturday morning last Berlin, irom
one end to other, and Germany, from
frontier to frontier, are talking of
nothing else but the earthquakes which
have shaken the entire fabric of
the private banking system of the
Putbus
Counts Szafsky,
selode, Nordeak
Empire. No such day as this has ever
been known in the history of German
financiers and it is feared that the end
of it is far from being in sight. A
number of the banks here this
morning are lieseiged by client desper
ately anxious to withdraw their ac
counts and some of these institutions
may find it difficult to Btand the run.
These clients, on foot and in carriges.
are pressing for the banks from all
sides, evidently being under the im
pression that in these times of terrible
financial crashes it is safest to lock up
their money at home.

uunng xne long illness oi lung
George III, many valuable books,
prints and manuscripts were lost or
stolen out of the royal library at Wind
sor castle, and the royal collections
were in hopeless confusion until Prince
Albert took the matter in hand and
re-arranged them under his own super
vision. During the past two years
three detectives from Scotland Yard
have been engaged under the direction
of Hon. John Holmes, the librarian of
the castle, in tracing many of the miss
ing treasures and it is said that over
fifty volumes of great value have been
recovered. Some of these were in pos
session of people of wealth and high
position, and in some instances the vol
umes had been in possession of the
families iu which they were found for
over a quarter of a century. The latest
recovery is a copy of Speucer’s “Faerie
Qneene,” which belonged to Queen
Elizabeth.

them in a meeting by the Irish parlia

the public declaration of the liberal

that the secretary was enjoined is an

AN ODD CONSUMPTION CURE.
An Indiana Young Lady Making Novel Die
of a Newfoundland Pap.
Shelbyville, lnd., Nov. 7.— Miss
Maggie Doniger, a winsome young
lady, 18 years of age, began today a
most unique treatment for consump
tion, which may yet rival the famous
Dr. Koch’s lymph as a remedy for
tuberculosis. For some time Maggie
has been suffering from pulmonary
affection. Finally, under the direction
of her medical adviser, she has con
cluded to take a course of dietetic
treatment, which is to consist exclu
sively of young dog flesh. For this
purpose, a fat, healthy Newfoundland
pup was killed and nicely dressed, and
she began eating it. Today it if
claimed that dog flesh in the course ol
assimilation is converted into a lymph
of more than ordinary vitality, which,
being absorbed by the blood corpuscles,
supplants the decayed tissue and add*
new strength and vigor to the patient
Whether this be true or not, Maggie
proposes to test its efficiency.
