A LONESOME FCNERAL PROCESSION JAILED BY A
POLICEMAN ,
NEW YORK , May 20. At three this morn
ing a .Frenchman , Louli Francis , of No. 307
Tenth street , was arrested while on hia way
to the Ncrth river boating on his back n bag
containing the coroso of n murdoroJ woman ,
Ths policeman was attracted by Francis"
mysterious manner , who was stopped nnd
naked what the bag contained. The French
man refused to give any Information nnd at
tempted to move on , but the officer Insisted
upon knowlnrr the contents of the tack and
took Francis Into custody Upon
opening the sack It was found to
cautiiu tha mutilated corpse of n wo
man. ' .The body wn doubled up nud In
almost A nude condition , The policeman ,
upon making n close examination found that
the woman had been murdered. There were
ghastly wounds about the head and trunk ,
Francis was naked for an explanation and
nftor recovering from his confusion declared
that the corpse waa that of his wife who had
died n natural death and ho being without
the necessary means to defray the expanses
of a funeral , had cancnlvod this plan for dis
posing of the body. This not being accepted
ns a satisfactory explanation , Francis was
placed under arrest and stops taken to investigate
tigato the affair.
In explaining tlis story to-day Francis tolls
the following story : Yesterday I found a val
uable dog , which my wife afterwards lost. I
reproached her and she swore nt me. At
half-past seven last night she sent mo but for
her. When I cimo back I found _ a man
named William Welsh In the room with her ,
Welsh works In the same shop with mo. She
sat on tny lap and kissed me ; thui she throw
a pi IBS a : me and then a can. She then went
out. Then Welsh and I walked out ,
half n block , then I loft him to
coma home. When I came back she was
l > ing on the floor doad. I waltod _ an hour ,
thinking she would revive. She did not. I
do not know the cause of her death. She
told mo before she died she did not care for
mo , but fho liked the man who put up the
wino for her. Ho is Leopold Laconvllle , and
lives with Mrs. Lynch on Broadway. After
I found my wife dead I took sixteen cents
and went out and got n drink. In half an
hour I came back nnd put her into a bag to
throw her into the river.
The woman was not Francis' wife. Sin
was Sellna Fobo38 years old , with a son 18
years of age , who lives in Boston , FrancU
was ono year younger than bis paramour , nnd
worked for some time in the French
polishing marble yard. Time _ monthi

Francis lived on the ground floor in the reai
of the structure. Botl- wore accustomed ti
drink freely of boer and quarrelled frequently
Two'weeks ago , while under tbo influence o
drink , ho beat and kicked her while she was
on the floor. "Upon picking he * up , he wai
heard to say : "I guess 1'vo fixed you thi :

WASHINGTON , D. 0. , May 20. The Illinois
democracy is catchinc It to. day. The whole
democratic press of the oa't gives it a kick as
It paseos along the line from Now York to
thin city. Hero are samples :
lrt > i2 J.yjflIBSNKW voitK.
The World It was in the power of the
democrats ti defeat Logan , but bad manaRO-
montpotty jealomloi andfgoneral demoraliza
tion prevented the consummation , devoutly
wished for by the whole country.
The Sun The democrats of Illinois might
have elected Trumhull if they had tried him ,
but were out-generaled by the republicans.
The Herald Morrison's obstinacy defeated
the party , which now has had onoueh of
him. Wo hope that ho will not be appointed on
the way and means committee again.
BALTIMORE ,
The Sun The Illinois democrats have
shown themselves to bo miserably Inefficient
in management nil the way through the protracted -
tractod senatorial fight which had its ending
to-day.
The Times After the exhibition of democratic
cratic stupidity in filling the vacancy in the
home , wLereby the republicans were allowed
to got away with one of the strongest demo
cratic districts , the democrats were out of
fight by their own tomfoolery.
The Chicago Tribuno's Washington cor
respondent has talked with some of tlio
party leaders and writes :
"Well. I am glad of it , since it had to bo a
republican. I nilmiro pluck , and courage , and
dash , and Gen. Logan lias made n bravo fight
and Is a manly follow. I like him. " And Gov.
Curtlu , of Pennsylvania , brought his hand
down on the tabla oa ho said this with n vigor
which indicated ho was in earnest. li'o add
ed : "And you can put that in the papers if
you want to. I don't cato who knows it.
say that if a republican had to come from 111 !
nols I am glad to know that Logan has had
the good luck to be returned. "
Senator Pugh , of Alabama sat next. He
said : "I want to say that , since a republican
had to bo elected , 1 am glad than Logon won.
I waa with him in tha thirty-sixth congress.
I have known him more or less over since , I
admire him for his good qualities , his integri
ty , and courage , and I shall be glad to BOO him
back tn the senate , "
Singleton of Illinois waa also in the group.
Ho said : " Well , I suppose it had to bo. The
election of a republican in the thirty-fourth
district seemed to settle It , and I am pleased
to know Gen. Logan was successful. I have
a high regard for him , and ho seems to have
conducted his canvass in a manly and honorable -
orablo way. Ho will never do any
thing to the discredit of the state of Illinois !
I think our people , however , made some extraordinary
traordinary mistakes. They ouflht not to
have lost the senator.
Congressman Uick Townshend came up ,
He eaid : "Of course I am sorry that the
democrats have been successful. Wo have
fooled away a senator , but I have nothing tc
say apainst Logan. If any republican was to
come I prefer Loran to any of the rest . I am
glad , in any event that the senatorial mat
ter is out of tha way. The people of the
state were heartily tired and disgusted with
the legislature , and now they can RO to work ,
transact necessary business and adjourn. "
Mr. Townehond said , also , ho was satisfied
that the Illinois home and foreign appoint
ments would bo made at once. He saw no
reason for delay. Excuses which have been
made have no longer validity. Ho for one
intended from to-morrow to present the can
very strongly to the administration.
Isaac It. JDiller , one of the old democrats ,
who Is hero and Is confident- will bo ap
pointed consul-general to Paris , thought thi
democrats had lust the senator by their own
inexcusable blunders.
The Illinois democrats were not in a hurry
to carry news of their senatorial defeat to thi
white house. It was late in the afternoon be
fore the president wai informed of the olec
tlcnof Logan. The republicans , on the con
trary , distributed the newj rapidly. Thi
first priyato dispatch announcing the resul' '
was crrriod quickly to lur. Blatrio , He received
ceived the news of the success of his compan
ion on the intlonal ticket with enthusiasm
and evident delight. "I am heartily and ( in
ceroly glad to hear it , " he Broplicd to tin
bearer of the news. "Jlapubllcans through
out the country and nil who know of Gen
Login's bravo and eo -sacrificing devotion ti
his party's interests will rejoice to learn hi
has secured n seat in the senate for auothc
term. 'I'o-dav'o election ia a source of th
greatest gratification to me nud all who kno\
and admire Gen , Logan , "
At the white house no information of Lo
gan's election reached the library for sevora
hours after it waa bulletined about the citj
No private dispatches or prest bulletii
brought the tidings to the president. _ IS
callers came to communicate it. The cabim
meeting broke up and m'cmbcrs dispersed i
ignorance of the result , Secretary Lamar wa
mot after tlio cabinet meeting , and when tel
that Logan had been re-elected immediate !
became silent nnd walked on. The news
evidently iv subject for thought to nil tl
cabinet. They are all disposed to be silen
and to walk on , nnd to wonder what sort
political prophets Morrison and Ober
are. Tha drift of democratic opinion
about us here indicated : The dem
ocratio political leaders admire Logan , bu
they greatly regret , on party grounds , hissu
cess. They know that it means a stony ron
for many of them In tbo senate , When tl
report came in the evening papers and wa
announced to Cleveland'ho expressed no tu
price. The president had never believed tl
representations that the election of a demo
, crat could he accomplished by his interfer
ence , and since the election of Weaver he has
so reminded _ Illinois men who appealed to
him that their efforts to secure Interference
from Washington lad them to neglect
important matters in Illinois and to sac
rifice a senator. Many of the best-in
formed Illinois democrats believe that from
the first the president's ono doalro has been to
avoid any action which could place tbo re
sponsibility for defeat on his shoulders , and
to escape the accusation of interference in a
struggle in which the propriety of bis par
. ticipation might ba ioquested on , nnd which
he never regarded aa likely to result In vic
. tory. Tha president bos shown a lack of con
fidence In the democratic leaders of Illinois ,
and when taken to task for this has pointed
: to their blunder ? . He has postponed ap
pointments when Morrison represented it
: might be injurious to him , but ho has re
trained from taking steps which wore urged
merely on account of their supposed effect on
t e senatorial contoit.

AMBITION'S DEADLY M3A1' .
ODLUM LKAI'S FUOM BROOKLYN 11RIDOG
INTO ETEnNITY.
NKW YonK , May 19. This afternoon a cab
loft the New York ontrauco of Brooklyn
bridge nnd waa driven to the middle of the
great span. Hero the driver pulled up and
two men got cut and began to climb the mil
Ing , Before they had reached the top a po
liceman came towards them brandishing his
club and ordsring them to "gat down out of
that , " While ho was talking with the young
men a covered wagon containing Prof , Odium
nud a companion stopped about ono hundred
feet behind the cab. Quickly divesting him
self of a blue flannel in which ho was dressed ,
Odium , clad in n red shirt and trunks jumped
from the carriage nnd sprang lightly to the
ratlin ? . Ho quickly reached tlio top and pos
ing himself for a moment stood erect and
glanced hurriedly at the surface of the East
river far below him. People on the bridge
sent up a cry of horror when they saw the
professor prepare to plunge off the
bridge into the river 135 feet beneath
his feet. The policeman now rushed toward
the professor , but before he had gone a dozen
feet Odium , without a moment's hesitation
had leaped from tha railing out into the air
Ho held ono hand above his head as a rudder
to guide him in his descent. The river below
was at the moment clear of shipping. A tug
and schooner floated lazily in the stream
several hundred yards below tbe bridge. The
tug was filled with club men and reporters.
Capt. Boynton stood near the prow nnd
clotely watched the bridge. Tbo moment
Odium's body was seen to leave the railing
Harry E. Dixey , the actor , started a stop
watch which he held in his hand in order to
time the descent for nearly 100 feet the pro
fessor came down all right , feet foremost.
Ho shot downward with tho.spped of a meteor ,
his red suit making him easily discsrnablo
for a long distance. When within thirty
feet of the water his body began to turn. As
if realizing his danger , Odium brought down
his hand with a quick motion to aid him In
recovering his balance. The movement.how-
over , was too late , the body bad turned BO far
it was now Impossible to change' its course.
Half a second later , with a migntyeplash that
threw up water on all sides as If torn by a
shell , Prof. Odium's body struck the water on
ono side and sank out of sight. A tug hur
riedly Dushed itself forward to the place
where the body fell , and Capt. Boynton , after
seeing that life preservers had been thrown
Into tha water , sprang over the side of the
boat and waited for tha body to como to the
surface. Soon he saw the white face of the
professor rising from the water and in a mo
ment was by his side. Seizing a life preserver
near by he placed it beneath the body of. tbo
insensible professor. Blood mingled with
froth came from the mouth of the daring man.
A row boat soon came to tbo rescue and
Odium was tikou from the water ,
A few moments later he was
tranbfered to the tug nnd rest.ratlves
administered. After considerable rubbing ,
the eyes of the professor opened. "What
kind of a jump did I make , " he whispered.
"First-class , my boy , " responded Boynton ;
you'll be all right in n llttlo whilo. " But ho
was insensible again before the { words had
hardly left his lips. The tug 'steamed hastily
to her slip , and just as the pier w/is reached
a shudder passed through the frame of the
professor , and then after breathing heavily
once or tw.'ca his heart stopped beating and
ho was pronounced dead. The body was
taken ashore and taken to the undertaker's.
Prof. Kobt. E. Odium waa formerly a professor
ser of a swimming bath in Washington , but
lately bad been clerk in Willnrd's hotel. It
had been his ambition to jump from the
Brooklyn bridgo. Ho mada an attempt once
before the bridge was completed , but was pre
vented by the police. Ho was 3.J secjnds in
the air before striking the water. Odium
was unmarried , nnd was 33 years df age , and
a man of good habits.
Prof. Odium , who jumped from the Brooklyn
bridge yesterday , was born In thii city , and his
mother and sister reside here. His sister ia a
Charlotte Smith , well known in Chica
go , from her connection with thn work of
opening new fields for woman's industry. Ho
has several times jumped from great heights
into water. In 1880 , during tha Uanlan
Courtney race 1m jumped from the aquedact
bridge into the Potomac , and later from the
top of the smoke stack of the Lady of the
Lake , a distance of more than 100 feet.
Odium's mother and slater did all in their
power to prevent him from making this last

ship Alert will etart for Hudson bay next
week to bring home the men who spent last
year at the stations along the shores of Hud-
' strait , cstab'ishod by the Dominion
government f Jr the purpose of taking motoor-
ologicai and other scientific observations , and
to replace them with men who will remain
there another year.
The American and the Canadian north
west are vitally interested in the opening of n
long talked of route to Kuropo by the way
of Hudson' * bay , and Captain Adams has
had a third of a century's experience in Arc
tic waters.
He will go nn the Alert as the representa

road nnd navigation company to repi
the feasibility and practibllity of the route.
In an interview Capt , Adams expressed the
opinion that the Hudson bay aud straits were
feasible andjprastlcablo for navigation , from
tlio middle of Juno to the end of October , to
ship ! uroperly equipped with two and a half
inch iron plates lor an outside shell with suit
able ica stem inside fortifications , and the
opening up of tills route would brine the
heart of the preat northwest as near to Liver
pool as New York was to-day.
The Alert expicts to reach the Hudson
straits by Juno 10'h. Provisions for the
ensuing year and eighteen tons of hard coal
will be left at each station ,
A largo quantity of evaporated
vegetables prepared in this province will
be taken to the stations , Between thirty and
forty applications have been made for posi
tions as observatory icon. Much valuable
information Is expected to bo obtained from
cbiervatlons made during the past year aa to
the formation and breaking up of ica and in
regard to its movements ; also , relative to the
navigation of the straits. After leaving Foit
Churchill a running survey will be made on
BUh portions of the eastern ihure of the bay

the kidnapping story mentioned in those ilia- , . ,
patclics yesterday morning n reporter interviewed - < |
viewed Kichard Hogist , n young mnn nnd
brother of George M. Hogist , a well known
dentist ou Noith Clark street , who gave the
following story of his being kidnapped nt
Now Orleans by emissaries of Buscano , which
substantiates the story told by Santa Kota.
Mr. Hogist , who is an intelligent looking lad , i > 1
still bears n bad scar on his face } \
from the effects of n 'nil
when weak from fever and obllced to
work. Ho says that ho was approached nt
Now Orleans by the puncr of the steamer
EllaKnlaht , who told him and eovoral of his
friends that they would take thorn down to
certain parts of Florida , at which they were
loading bananas , By this story ho led them
to bollevo that that was the work they were
wanted for. About onohundrodand fourteen
went on the steamer , aud at the first port tl
they touched in Florida the captain put n ' '
guard on the steamer nnd refused to allow
any of the lads to land. Hero they shipped
several Jamaica niggers for banana work.
From this point they went to Puerto Barrloe ,
stopping only at Livingstone fora short timo.
At Barrios the party was landed In small
boats and counted and searched by sold lore ,
who took away any valuables that any of the
party might have. The next morning they
took the gang out to the swamps nud set them
nt work cutting brush , making ties and other
work , They made them work even though
they were sick from fever , and refused to give
them food unless they did work. Hogist waa
taken ill , after working some eighteen or
twenty days , nnd had to take shelter In a
rigged hut or "shack , " merely covered by
palm leaves , and in which he had to lay ; in
water with lizards and other animals crawling'
about him. He managed to comrnunlcnto
with his brother in Chicago , nnd after some
three weeks ho get n letter containing S-'o. '
The soldiers brought the letter to him.
After a ilmetho United Statesnaval [ author ! ]
ties made tha railway people remove the sick
back to the states , nud during the removal of
the partyinost of whom were halfdeadllo&st !
had his money token from him by a big Iven-
tuckian , whoso name ho does not recollect.
He had tried previous y to got away on the
steamer City of Dallas , but was not allowed
to go.
Ho says when a person once gets to Puerto
Barrios , ho is virtually a prisoner , and for
any small offense is liable to ba placed In the
stocks and whipped.
Hogist reached New Orleans on January
22 , and his brother in Chicipo want to him on
the 30th of the month When tbo sick were
landedatNowOrleanithey were thrown out en
a docknnd told todothobestthoycould.lt was
raining in torrents and they were all too
weak to walk. They crept on all fours into a
hot car for shelter and then into aa empty
warehouse. During the voyage from Puerto
Barrios they were huddled together among
bananas and experienced terrible discomfort.
One of the party of sixty-three died and was
buried at sea , and the only food they got was
hardtack and bad ealt pork with bad coffee.
After remaining in the warehouse several
hours ] some charitable people notified tlio
hospital 1 authorities , and the sufferers were
eventually taken to that institution.
Destructive Firee.
CHICAGO , May 20. Early this morning n
dangerous looking fire broke out in the midst
of the wholesale district on State street , in
the basement of the candy oitablishment ot
John Kranz. Owing to the Immense loss
which would mcessarily result from thospread
of the flames in this neighborhood , the fire
department and Insurance patrol bent every
effort toward a quick subjection of the fire
so that inside of half an hour the bin/a- was
out. Adjoining ia a largo crockery establish
ment , and near by are a number of largo re
tail dry goods nnd notion stores.
Nona of these were damaged.
The entire stock of John
Krauz' candy establishment is ruined by fire ,
smoke and water , also some valuable machin
ery on the upper floor * . Apparently the
moat reasonable estimate of the loss Is SIB 000
to $20,000 on stock and machinery and perhaps
as much more on building. The upper stories
nro badly gutted.
