wife , Emily Williams , lying dead upon the
floor of the kitchen one day last week. It
was probably a case of Tieart disease.
It has been developed that the body
found in the river near Bellevue a few days
ago is that of a young Bohemian , Matthias
Free , -whose friends missed and advertised
for him after his sudden disappearance in
January. He was last seen going to Coun
cil Bluffs with several women , and there is
a suspicion that the shooting and strang

body , were done on that side of the river.
A stranger was found dsad and
standing on his head in an old cellar in

death was caused by accident or other
wise.

wreck a train on the B. & M. , In the fall

The charge alleged consisted in placing an
obstruction on the track near Arapahoe.
The intention was to wreck the night pas
senger , which , passed the point at 0:30
o'clock. The obstruction was placed upon
the bridge overa creek , and if it had not
been detected by the engineer , the destruc
tion to life andrproporty would have been
severe. The dastardly deed , however , was
discovered in time to avert the catastrophe.
The case has been continued until another
term of court.

the house ways and means committee ask
ing for Secretary Folger's opinion of the
administrative portion of Hewitt's tariff

' A VAGABOND'S CHIME.
The City of Kearney Startled by the Deed
of a Villainous Father.
A Kearney special of the 27th says :
Between 10 and 11 o'clock last night this
city was startled and thunderstruck by
another terrible tragedy that is not fre
quently equalled in enormity in criminal
annals. For some time there has been a
German family residing here named Koe-
beck. The husband was a worthless vaga
bond , occasionally doing odd jobs around
town , but wasted the major part of his time
in idleness. He was possessed of a most
brutal disposition , especially toward his
family , and.on . many occasions' displayed
his brutality by beating his wife and chil
dren wittout any apparent cause. About
three months ago she was obliged to leave
him on account of his dissolute habits and
extreme cruelty. Last night , at the
time stated above , he made his ap
pearance at her home. Becoming
alarmed at his peculiar actions she
took one of her sons and started to
leave the house. She had walked but a
short distance when cries of her other son
caused her to return. He was beatinc- the
boy when she appeared. As soon as he
saw her he drew a. revolver and emptied
four chambers into her body , one ball pass
ing through her head. Koebeck then
rushed into the house and cut his own
throat , and will undoubtedly die , thereby
saving his infernal neck from the halter.
That the act was premeditated there is not
the slightest doubt , as he entered the
house fully prepared for the devilish deed.
LATER. Mrs. Koebeck is lying in a crit
ical condition. The ball passed through
her head in front of the lower part of the
ear and came out on the other side. Koe-
beck's attempt at suicide will prove inef
fectual. He partially severed the wind
pipe. He was arrested and lodged in jail.

Echoes in London.
1 London dispatch of June 1st : A
sharp report heard late last night outside

servants ut work were seriously injured.
The club house was crowped with members
at the time of the explosion. Several lights
were extinguished throughout the entire
building. The lights in the army and navy
clubs , opposite , were extinguished and
the windows blown in" . Sixteen packets of
dynamite , with fuse attached , was found
to-night under the Nelson monument on
Trafalgar square.
Daylight showed the damage by exposure
fully equal to the worst anticipation. A
crowd of excited people are visiting the
scenes. Policemen are drawn in line across
the streets in the vicinity , to prevent ac
cess of the multitude. Orders were given
to leave the wreckage untouched until ex
amined byMajendie. At St. James theatre ,
1.000 yards distant , the explosion sounded
like two claps of thunder.
The audience was alarmed , and nearly
stampeded. Several ladies fainted , men
started to stampede , but were reassured by
shouts bidding every one sit still as no
harm was done. The second bomb on St.
James' square , which exploded against the
residence of Sir Walter Mynn , produced a
huge wide fracture four feet high , and
three in breadth. The windows were
smashed and furniture damaged.
