t\ory \ 1ms como to llgbt hero. A man giving
Id- name us John Sxwidd , and who says ho
has n ranch near Suttcrvillo , made a confess-
| ji ton Justice of the pence , saying bo had
murdered two wives. Ho said ho lived in
Ohio with his wife Catherine nnd four chll
dren. Because of his wife's love of liquor ho
took the children nnd Ik'd to Anokn. Allnn.
A few months later tils wife followed him
and their unhappy life was resumed. Final
ly Szwald says , ho concluded to put an end
i , to it. Ho purchased poison nnd put it In
wl.isity. . Ills wife died In two days nnd ho
buried her without causing suspicion.
Thrco years Inter ho moved with his fim-
llv to Wayne , Neb. , and after living thcro
s < mo time married npnln. His second matrimonial
menial venture , according to tils story , was
worse than the first. AH he succeeded sn well
In L'cttlni ; rid of hU other
wife , ho tried It auafn. This time he smolh-
cied bis wife witn bed clothes.
Tbo coroner of Wayne county Investigated
the case , but could got no evidence , and
h/.wald escaped. Ho came to California and
took up his residence ne.ir hero.
The sheriff took Szwald into custody at
the bitter's own request until the matter
could be investigated.
How No. 2 Died.
WA SI : , Nob. , Alny TO.-iSpecial Tele-
pram to Tin : BKK.J Alatllda Szwald , the
Wife of John S/.wald , who 1ms recently con
fessed to the crime of murder in California ,
came to her death in this city on the night of
the itth or early on the morning of Septem
ber 25 , ISM.
At tbo coroner's inquest the husband of tbo
deceased woman testified that they had been
married about three months , she having
been married twice before that. Their mar
ried life had been an almost continued quar
rel , the woman being a person of almost tin-
( . ovurnaulo temper. Tbat she bad been moro
than usually quarrelsome for n few days pre
vious to her death , and or. tbo evening before -
fore bad driven him out of the house ,
nnd ho was compelled to stop In a
barn across the way. When ho returned
In tbo morning he found the door locked nnd
i.roceeded . to cook his breakfast in a shod
Kitchen , which was built on the shanty in
vhlcb they lived. That tie then called the
children who got up and opened the door ,
when bo discovered the body of the deceased
ublcli was hanging by n rope within a few
feet of tbo door.
The story of Szwald was received without
suspicion by tbo coroner's jury , who returned
a verdict of suicide while deceased was lab
oring under a lit ot temporary insanity.
Airs. Szwald was a very lurcu fleshy
woman , and when the neighbors rushed In
the body was still bunging near the doorway
with both feet firmly planted on the floor.
Stilt tno theory of foul ploy was not advanced
by nuy one , and Szwald was allowed to de
part and tno alTair was soon forcotton. The
children were Airs. S/wald's ' by a former
husband mid were quite small.

DKTIIOIT , .Mich. , .May 110. In tbo Presby
terian general assembly this morning some
debate nroso as to the proposition to drop
from the regular roll and keep sepor.ito the
list of ministers who do not report annually
to their prosbytqrles , but it was adopted.
Another proposition was to forbid the rotlre-
; pnt of secretaries of boards on a salary
wTTon too old to servo further. This was op
posed ns making an unfair distinction be
tween them and other disabled ministers
who have only ? . ' ! HO from the board cf minis
terial relief. It was recommitted to the com
mittee.
A telegram was read reciprocating the
preotini ; of this assembly to that of the
United 'Presbyterian assembly.
The report of the committee on unitv
with other denominations was road. Thospo-
1'ial object is to prevent the organization of
rival churches in small communities. It was
road by Dr. Ely of Iowa. It reported that
such committee had done much good in ru-
cent yo.irs and recommended further effort
in the same direction. It was recommended
tliM the proposition ot tbo lat national coun
cil of Congregational churches bo acceded to
In n fraternal spirit , which Ims produced so
much bonollt during recent years ; also that
the committee bo continued. Accepted and
referred to the special commttteo on church
unity. Tbo vacancy ou that committee
caused by the death of Judge Brockinridgo
was tilled by the appointment of Dr. Ely.
Invitations for the next assembly were
received form San Francisco , tlmt pros-
byterx guaranteeing ? 1. " > , ( J < HJ , and from Port-
Imiil , Ore. , with a guarantee for the enter
tainment of SOO delegates and S i.ixiO for ex
penses. KeprescnlHtlyes of California nnd
Oregon were hoard for llfleen minutes.
Dr. Hayes of Kansas gave notice tbat if the
assembly did not go to the Pacitlo coast
Kansas City wished to enter tlio competition
us against Sanilnmi Springs , u wns voted
viva vueo to meet on the Pacific coast and by
n rising vote Portland won by an overwhelmIng -
Ing majority , which wa-s tnen m.tdo uimni-
n.nu.s. It was voted that If the railroads do
not at least three months uefuro the next as
sembly make proper concessions the perma
nent ofllc irs of the assembly have a right , to
nrranpo for Kansas City.
The report ot ttio committee en the board
of publications was rend. A large advance
-raw made In the amount of work done by II. )
rermnnont and siudunt missionaries.
Dr. Hayes read the report of the special
committee apixnntod to accompany the re
mains of Judge Drcckmridgo to St.
Louis , which closed with resolu
tions emphait/.lng the high charac
ter nnd great services of the judge
nnd thanking liovornor Alger for the special
tr.iln. Those were adopted and ordered
printed In the minutes. Adjourned.
In nlaco of the banquet to bo given by the
pivsbytcry general assembly at the rink ,
which was omitted on account i > f the death
of Judge Hreculnrulge , the coimmsilonors
and representatives of the press \ \ ith their
wives took an excursion on the line steamer
liroyhonml up thoSt.Clalr rlvnrand through
the canal. All references to the Briggs nllnir
were In n very peaceful anil kindly tone.
Dr. Pariihurst. of Now Yoru , compared the
meetings of his presbytery which bo
said were often a regular hour garden
with thu decorous and kindly
temper and utterances of this
assembly oven In the hottest part of thepreat
contest which closed yesterday. Old } one
ugly thing was said , and this aroused siieh
unanimous disapproval that it was instantly
withdrawn and apologies offered. "There U

The Morm last nlirht which threatened

broke In great fury between Alissouri Valley ,

Hashes of forked lightning , fallowed by deaf

great wind nroso and a dark , low
luuiifluir cloud swept oanw.ird with Jgroat
rapidity. The storm clouds hunt ? very close

the shapu of n cyclone cloud.
Tbo cyclone tore througa the vi

siderable damage. Sovor.il barns were un

demolished. Telegraph wires were broken

The storm passed vapidly to the northeast ,

Archbishop Ireland on the Iteccnt
. Memorial to tlio Pope.
Sr. Pu [ . . Alitin. , Alay 30. The recent me
morial of Catnolic emigration societies to the
pope , requesting the following of distinct
national lines in the work among emigrants
In America , has attracted great attention
Probably the only man in the northwest who
Is capable of giving nn insulo view of the re
cent Catholic movement in Europe Is Arch
bishop IielamJ. A reporter called
upon the archbishop today nnd asked
for n statement regarding the mat
ter. After endorsing the truth of tbc
Asssoclntod Press dispatches frcm Home the
archbishop said : "So far as Air. Cathcnsly ,
the bearer of the Lucerne petitions to the
Vatican , nnd his friends nnd co-laborers are
concerned , they have a wcll-detined object In
view and they mean to work for It with
might and main.
It Is to harness the church in America
into the service of recently arrived immi
grants from ( iurmnny , the Catholic interests
in the country being apparently looked upon
us quite secondary. Some nf their demands
nro quite ndinissutilo in themselves , although
It Is no business of people in Lucerne to
make them such , as ( iennan parishes
ami Cicrman schools nro German speak
ing Catholics. In addition , however ,
to these this decree of German priests foralt
parishes In which tlmro are1 German Catholics
miiiKlcd with others , Gorman bishops charged
with the exclusive care of Germans or ex
clusive ( iennan jurisdictions canno bo tol-
ertatcd. Their demands are based on the
supposition that tbo bishops nnd priests of
America nro Irish and neglect the Germans.
Mr. Cathcnsly calls for a reversal of what no
imagines to bo the case nnd by clear Implica
tion asks tnat the Irish bo put in charge of
Gorman bishops nnd priests. Wo have to
note hero the actual or assumed ignorance
of Air. Cnhcnsly us to the condition of
German speaking Catholics In America. In
asserting that they are neglected ho docs
most , positive Injustice to the bishops of the
country , whoso constant effort 1ms b'ecn and
is to provide for all Catholics of foreign
tongues priests of their own nationality.
There is singular malice , too , In his attempt
to represent the Catholic church in America
ns Irish. It were easier for him to succeed
in n dispute between Irish and Germans
than in ono between Americans and Germans.
As n matter of fact the bishops
born In Ireland are few In the
American hierarchy nnd these fe\v have
spent nearly nil their lives In America and
nre thoroughly identified with the country
nnd all its institutions. If bishops of Amer
ica are heart and soul Americans they have
no morn idea of making the church Iri-.li than
they have of allowing It to be made German.
The mass of our Catholics today have been
born in America , nnd , whether their fathers
were Irish or German , they are Americans
nnd thoj resent with Indignation any effort
' "
to class'them into Irish or Germans "or for
eigners of any stripe. What is the most
strantre feature in this whole Lucerne move
ment is thu impudence of the men in under
taking to meddle under any pretext In the
Catholic affairs of America.

nEiu.ix , Alay : klimperor ) William , before
dccidlngoi : a reduction or a temporary sus
pension of the duties on grain , nslcod Dr.
Von Hoottichor , secretary of the ImpurUI
homo ofllco , to submit to him a report of the
crop prospects and upon the general economic
position bjarintr upon the question. The
ministerial council will meet tomorrow to
take uonnito action touching the matter. The
ministers maintain thj utrnoit reserve , but It
Is the ofllcial conviction tonight that there
will bo neither n reduction nor a suspension
of the duties before the commercial treaty
between Germany and Austria-Hungary
comes In force.
The Cologne ( ! a/.otto states that the gov
ernment will declare Its decision on Monday.
Lobby gossip has It that the landtag will
fix the opening of a special session of the
releasing for Juno 11 , but this report is in
direct variance with the belicl in ministerial
circles.
The commission appointed by tbo govern
ment to consider the matter of grain supulles
has not yet comnletcd its inquio' ,
though a preliminary report has been
supplied by the ministers in order to assist
them In their deliberations. Only the m.ist
urgent necessity will cause the couvenimr of
the reiobstnir. A discussion of tbo grain
taritls question would open the wbolo ques
tion , pending the negotiations for a treaty of
commerce with Austria , and would force the
government to awkward disclosures which
miirlit assist Princu Uisinarck In forming the
opposition coalition which he is now actively
at work conhtructinsr.
llurr lilocheroder , the well Known banker ,
visited Friedrichsruo on Thursday to consult
with 1'rii'co HismarcK regarding tbo ex
pected action of the government.
The progcssist press announces that Prince
ni.smarck will appear In tbo roichstng mid"
oppose a reduction of tbo crain larills and
predicts that the prince will certainly meet
with n humiliating defeat , as hardly n score
of the membjrs will support him. In tbo
absence of accurate Information as to how
tbo prince would deal with a possible grain
famine tbc prediction Is futile.
The conservatives n'lmit ' that n temporary
reduction of the taritls may bo advisable.
The German ( cctitiist ) concludes nn
aniclic protest against a permanent diminu
tion of the duties by a similar admission.
The organs of the ngragruin party generally
deny that there Is anj present necessity for
dealing with the tariff , but admit reluctantly
that there is a possibility tb.it the govern
ment will * be compelled to intervene.
The position may be sumed up as follows :
If the ministers declare that a .somi-famlno Is
Impending no party will dnro to oppose
measures of relief.
The 1'ost scml-ollicially announces tbat the
Aliirquis di Uudlni , tbo Italian premier , has
formally communicated to the ( .Serman nnd
Austrian governments tito determination of
Italy to adhere to tlm drclbund.
Public indignation against Hussla because
of that government's treatment ot the Jews
is becoming more intense. Residents of this
city have ocular evidence of the condition of
the Hebrews who are being driven from
Uusslii In the hundreds or more of exiles who
arrive daily nt tbo Clmrlotteburg stntton in
absolute destitution. Those exiles are met at
tbo station by co-roligiousites , who supply
thorn with food nnd clothing nnd a little
money and procure for thorn passes to Lon
don or New York.
A letter from Mr. Gladstone , reprinted
hero , aftlrmlng that the czar docs not know
of the horrors Inflicted upon bis Jewish sub
jects , differs utterly from the facts. It ought
to bo universally understood that the repre
sentatives of the Moiulolssohas , BleichuroJ-
ers and Frankfort Kothschilus were sent
through n sure channel and were placed in
the hands of the czar and obtained rending a
month ago.
A statement was presented to M. DePoboo-
donostzoff , chief of the holy synod of liussln ,
simply asking that measures bo adopted for
the mitigation of tbo lot of the expelled
Hebrews , and n similar memorial was
presented to AI. DeGiors , the Kusslan
minister of foreign affairs , but it was un
availing. The truth is that the czar is him
self thn chief Instigator of the increasing
severity practiced upon the Jews. His
majesty's brother , Grand DuUo Sergius , who
is now governor of AIoscow , is a willing In
strument for the carrying out of the brutal
treatment of the Jews. Jewish advices from
St. Petersburg nnd Moscow concur in the
statement that the most powerful Influences
have been brought to bear upon the czar , but
that the condition of the Jews is hopeless.
The meeting of national liberals to bo hold
tomorrow , for tbo purpose of attempting to
prepare a new programme , threatens to re
sult in a split.
The party organs In discussing the politi
cal situation , differ widely as to the platform
to bo adopted. The National /Celtnng de
clares that the party cannot follow Prince
Dismarck unless ho renounces bis opposition
to the government.
The Liberal Correspondence , the mouth
piece of the leading members of the party ,
admits that the mooting tomorrow will prob
ably not result In anything beyond an ex-
changa of Ideas , nnd that no common plat
form Is meantime probable.
The Snalo Xeitung states that Count Von
Aloltko , just prior to his death , concluded nn
exhaustive study of European armaments ,
ending with the assertion that Iranco was
ready for war and Uussla nearly so and that
a great conflict could not bo delayed beyond

dispatch says : Douglas Sherly , president of
the Kentucky club , nu author and a wealthy
society man , was assaulted In his own homo
last .Monday night by James Hethof Chicago.
Air. Helh carried a cowhldo , with which ho
attempted to chastise Air. Sherly.
For several years pist Mr. Heth has been
devoted in his attentions to a prominent so
ciety young lady , and it is reported that ho
had pressed his suit so successfully that the
wedding day had been set. About n week
ago Air. Hcth came to Lonisvlllo and went
direct to Pewco Valley- whore the young
lady is visiting rolati\itf. . * While there
t-'ossip attributed to Mr..S&rly a remark that
was uncomplimentary trphuO young Jidy.
Air. Ileth at once nnnouncyi cU intention of
revenging what ho tcrmca an insult , and al
though the fnmlly used every effort to dis
suade him bo was obdurate and declared that
bo Intended to carry bis threat into execu
tion. Accordingly on Aiondny evening he
came into the city , accompanied , it Is stated ,
by Alossrs. W. l-.Tohnsoij nnd Sidney Alur-
ray , and with them repaired to Mr. Slicrly's
residence. Air. Hoth'3 card was handed to
Air. Snerly , and that gentleman , being en
tirely ignorant of the purpose of the call ,
\\ent down to the parlor unprepared for
what followed. Humor has it that Air.
Sherly had hardly crossed the threshold
when Air. Hoth produced a cowhldo nnd
without warning strncit Air. Shorly a sharp
blow across the faco. The UilU-r was of
course startled by the assault , but ho imme
diately recovered his solf-possessiou , and ,
seizing Heth by the throat , wrenched the
cowhide from his hand and throw him
violently to the floor. Instead of following
his ad vantage Air. Shorly ordered his assail
ant to leave the house , nn injunction that was
obeyed with alacrity. The two friends of Air.
Hoth remained neutral during the assault.
It is Ksserted that neither of the two sen-
tlemon who accompanied Hoth knew of the
object of his call unti that their connection
with the affair was accidental. But It Is said
that the end is not yet. Air. Shorly , it is
atatcd , immediately placed the nlTair In the
hands of a well-known doctor , an intimate
friend and a gentleman of the old Kentucky

LONDON , Alay 30. [ Mow Ycrk Herald
Cable. Special"to/I'm : HIK-Although : : | the
queen's birthday annlveis.irv is on Alay 21 ,
it was oillclally celebrated today. The cele
bration might have amounted to something
had the weather not ordered otherwise. The
list of the queen's birthday honors Is a long
one.
Captain Henry Cane , who commanded the
Calliope when ho made his famous escape
from Apia during n hurricane , has been made
a C. I ) . , whereat everybody Is pleased.
Sir Cieorgo Stephen , of Alontreal , who 1ms
been made a peer of the united kingdom , is
the llrst colonist upon whom such an honor
has been conferred. Ho was created a bare
net. Why this honor was conferred is not so
plain , except on account of his services In
the ! ast Canadian election.
Much regret is expressed In business circles
hero over the death of James AIcHenry , best
known in the United States as the antagonist
of Jay Gould and builder of the Atlantic ft
Groast Western railway. Ho died Tuesday.
His only near relative , Airs. Cox , is in Phil
adelphia , if she has not loft there to attend
the funeral which takes place at Liverpool ,
Monday. McIIcnry did inoi-o probably than
any other man to enlarge the provision trade
between tbo States nnd Great Britain.
The favorite exercise among women here
now Is fenclp.tr. The young princesses of
Wales are adopts in the art , and of course the
aristocracy have fallen m line.
The modern rage for brass mounted har
ness that broke out last yo.ir after the duke
of Fife set the example Iris died out. and
silver plating has 031110 into general fashion
again. The latest thing Is to have imitation
flowers nt the outstdo forehead band , the
moro brilliant the color the better , nnd old
rozcttes seems to bo quite surplantcd.
Fashion has also turned in favor of gaudy
colored wheels and bodies , nnd also shafts ,
and some of the vehicles are bizarre in tbo
extreme.
After much 'deliberation it has been de
cided that the infant daughter of thu duchess
of Fife is to have rank and title only as the
daughter of a duke. It is understood that
the highest legal advisers of the crown wore
of the opinion that the duchess of File's in
fant daughter should rank as a princess of
the blood , but her majesty , whoso decision is
supreme in all matters of this
kind , has decided otherwise. Tbo
queen has simply cut the Gordian
knot. There was a great hubbub when the
duchess of Fife was first brought to bed.
Extraordinary as it may seem , It was the
understanding In high -quarters tbat she
should "have no children , for Ifshohad'n'
male child , nnd the prince of Wales and his
sons , Albert Victor and George , died , snld
child would bo heir to the crown. His chance
was not considered so ban , for Prince George
is n sailor , and drowiii-ig is not impossible ,
ai.'l Albert Vlccor is 110 ghost of a man. But
now Fifo's nildrcn are out. It. however ,
perhaps is but saving them trouble.
Lord Clancarty died Friday , therefore
Bella Hilton , who became Lady Dunlo , is
now the Countess Clancarty. Hereafter she
will not bo compelled to support bar husband
by going on tin stage. How the dowager
will love her I
Heinrich Conrcld is hero making arrange
ments to secure the solo right to produce tbo

Gossip of the Past U'cHc in London
'I honti'Iual Cirolus.
LONDON , Alay 30. There has been no Im
provement this week In the prevailing dull
ness of the London season , inllumu.i still
placing many families In mourning and in
sickness , and this naturally served to further
dampen the spirits of habitual theater-goers
and others. Tbo rival attractions the naval
exhibition and tbo Gorman exhibition unt
il rail have a restraining effect upon the at
tendance at the theaters , so astonishing that
the majority of the managers are not in u
jubilant state of mind.
The event of the week has been the one
hundredth performance of Sullivan &
Sturgls' "Ivanhoo" nt the lioynl English
opera house. This porformaneo took place
on Monday last. Sir Arthur Sullivan con
ducted the music. The house was crowded
with notables.
Uobcrt Buchanan's satire upon Ibsen and
his "Social Drama , " entitled "Heredity , "
replaces "The Henrietta" tonight at the Av
enue theater. "
"Heddu Gobter" will bo withdrawn from
the Vuudvlllo theater after about forty moro
performances. Aliss Alarion Lea and Miss
Elizabeth Robins , the American actresses ,
are still winning laurels In the cast of this
pi ecu of lusenism.
A new play which Is exciting considerable
Interest has been accepted by George Alex
ander , manager of thu St. James theater.
The new play will follow Huddon Clumbers'
"Tbo Idler. " which has Just celebrated Its
one hundroth performance and which Is like
ly to run for a long time to romo. The now
piece is from Prof. Walter Frith , son of the
celebrated artist , William Powell Frith. U.

Augustus Harris 1ms accepted bis oratorio
or cantata , on the subject of Sir Ed
ward Arnold's "Ltcht of Asia" for
a performance at the Drnary Lone
theater in the manner of an ancient oratorio ,
with appropriate dresses and scenery mid
with Aliss Kmma Earns and AI. Aliurcl in the
principal rules. AI. Alaurel Immediately
commenced to master the dllllculties of Eug-
) Uh pronotinciation with a view to this Im
personation. It was then found that the Im
mense Enirllsh chorus which was required
to sing behind the scenes would leave no
room In the theater for the naving nuditnce.
Air. Hnrils thereupon decided to change the
character of the work by having It tr.inslatod
Into Italian and to plav it In the ordinary
manner at the Royal Italian OJVJM hou P In
Coven t garden. S'lgnfir Ala /escato , author
of tlio Italian version of "Lohencrin" and of
"The Alelhtering , " is now omr.ucd In the
trnnslntion , and the warn , which may now be
called an oper.i , will bo produced early
In July. From selections already heard , with
accompaniments of piano or very small or
chestra , the highest opinions have been
formed of the dramatic and musical qualities
of this work , and no doubt is entertained
tlmt it will prove a success. The princess of
Wales , who has heard selections from it nt a
private concert given by the duchess of
.Manchester , takes deep interest In the event
nnd has promised to attend the tlrst perform
ance. It should also bo mentioned that Air.
Harris has been largely Inlluonccd by AI.
Aluurel in this llattering tribute to Air. De
Lara's genius.
On Juno .1 the prince and princess of \ \ ales
and other royalties will pntronl/.c n perform
ance at the Opera Comiquo In aid of the dis
tressed Irish ladies' fund , A new comedi
etta , "Tho Highwayman , " by Air. Justin
lluntloy McCarthy , AI. P. , will then bo
given. Air. Harris'will lend the services of
some of liis operatic artists for the ocy.islon.
The gaily dancers will also bo among the
contributors to this entertainment.
