Ei.u , Nob. , July 10.- ( Special Telegram
to Tin : HKK. I Some time during last night
the most horrible tragedy over enacted in
Gage county or this section of Nebraska oc
curred. About I o'clock this afternoon Mrs.
Dr. Allen of Beatrice came to Ellis on n visit
to her brother , John H. Putertntigh , who
lived n mlle and n half south of town. She
was driven to the farm by Louis Perllng and
knocked at the door , but receiving no response -
sponso entered , the door not being locked.
As she entered she saw her brother lying
on the lloor near the door and supposed ho
was asleep. She spoke to him , but there
being no response looked more closely and
saw blood and her brother's ghastly face.
Mrs. Allen called Perllng in , who made an
Investigation nnd found a horrible state of
affairs.
Whole Family Dead.
In ii bed In n room in which the husband
nnd father lay , was the mother wltb a bullet
through her hcud. In bed with her wus n
two-yeur-old baby , also shot through the
bead. On a lounge In the room lay n lad often
ton years , dead , shot through the head.
In the room above was another bed , oc
cupied by two young girls , ono thirteen nnd
ono fifteen , both do.ul , with bullet holes In
their bends.
The dead were John Puterbaugh , his wlfo
nnd four children.
How they met their torrlblo fate is ns yet
known only by surmise. The general belief
is that the torrlblo deed was the work of the
husband nad father. The motive Is not
known , as Puterbaugh was n peaecablo man ,
in comfortublo circumstances and It Is bo-
llcvcd that no trouble existed In the family.
Coroner Wells of Bcatrica arrived on the
scene shorty after 0 o'clock , nnd at n late ,
hour tonight an Inquest Is in progress.
Work ot the Father
it seems certain that a terrible crime was
committed by Putorbaiigh. By his side under
Ills arm lay a thirty-two calibre six chamber
revolver with all the chamber empty.
The scone In the house was u horrible ono ,
i made the strongest hearted turn away.
3 faces of the dead , though covered with
blood , were as calm as though sloopmg. No
signs of fear worn portrayed on any of them ,
nnd thoio were no evidences of struggle any
where. All seemed to have boon killed while
sleeping , nnd all were shot directly through
the skull. In every case the pistol was
placed close to the head , us the powder stulns
were visible upon pillows or bed clothing.
Piltorbnueh was not n drinking man , and
had the reputation of being an honest man

Loxnov , July 10. The emperor after
dining with the duke nt Gloucester house
finished the day at the state lull at Bucking
ham palace. Thodulte of Cainluldgo's din
ner was largely a military nnd naval affair.
Everybody was In the uniform of some
biMiich of the government service excepting
Lord Salisbury , Mr. W. H. Smith and other
ministers , who were In court dross. The
emperor , In n short speech , made n frank
reference to the hopes of the alliance In
England arising from his cordial public wel
come In this city , nnd probably Lard Sallt-
bury liked to hear It. Only an echo of the
imperial words have reached outsldo the of
ficial circle at present , yet the words In some
form will soon llnd an outlet. There are In
creasing fours that the emperor intends that
the political results of his visit shall bo of
momcntuous consequence.
After the conclusion of the public function
tomorrow at Wimbledon , the emperor will
proceed to Lord Salisbury's ' scat , Hatllold
house , attended by Ministers Von Biober-
stein and Lucanus , Gunoral Von Hahnko and
Sir E. Malot , the British ambasiudor to Ger
many. At Huttlcld house the prolonged ill-
most dally conferences between tno EnglUh
premier and the emperor's foreign secretary
will close with a conference , ut which the
emperor will be present. It will be impossi
ble to porsundo the Fioach and Russian gov
ernments that all this means anything but
the absorption of England into the central
European alliance.
Radical members of tbo house of commons
repeated their attempt tonluht to try to llnd
out how far the English government is
committed. Sir John Ferguson was asked
whether the arbitration with Franco
with reference to Newfoundland was pro
gressing nnd Sir James was obliged to
deprecate discussion on thosubjcct and to decline -
cline information. Philip Stanhope de
manded definite declarations In regard to the
attitude of the government toward the drio-
bund , but got none. Other sound radicals
denounced the open afllllution of the govern
ment with tbo emperor's policy as giving
Franco n Just csuso for offense. The minis-
tonal responses were purnosoly void of all
meaning. Mr. Stanhope's suggestion that
the government invite President Cnrnot to
England obtained the bold reply from Mr.
Smith that the government would not send
such an invitation , but that it would always
bo glad to sco the head of the French or any
ether foreign nation. It wasun insincere re
sponse , Mr. Smith knowlne that only tho.
lust necessities of the state would make the
queen willing or the court consent to tuo 10-
ceptlon of President Curnot.
An Incident connected with the sojourn of
the Duchess Aostii hero illustrates the nature
of the sentiments between the chiefs of the
drelbu ml and French personages. Tlio
duchess and Prince Victor Napoleon wcro ,
staying" the residence of ox-Empress"
Eugenie nt Furnbrougb. King Humbert
having ordered the duchess to appear at the
Imperial receptions in London , Eugenie pro
tested that the duchess could not continue to
bo her guest If .sho figured at the kaiser's
fetos. The duchess was thereupon ordered
to Install herself nt the Italian ombissy , where
she Is now a guest , and I'rlnco Victor took
Ins summary departure from England ,
Both the emperor and empress leave n most
nvorablo impression on those who have met
them beyond the general public. The report
that Minister Lincoln and ether United
States ofllclals were absent from yesterday's
garden party Is inaccurate. They have been
present at every , important function. Mrs.
AlcCormick hud a conversation with the
empress at tno garden party turning on tbo
Chicago world's fair. The omp'ross said she
was much interested In the exhibition and
bellovod Germany would bo largely repre
sented. She promised her assistance.
At the sumo party an intetostlng incident
was the queen's graceful compliment to the
parliamentary veteran , Mr. Vll'lcrs , who is
now eighty-eight years of ace and the father
of the house of commons. Singling him out
from tlio crowd the queen took the old man
by the arm and walked about wltb him for
some time , cheerily chatting.
Tlio queen's intoicst in Mrs. Grimwood in
cited the imperial visitors to hour her story
privately. The empress was specially drawn
by the story of Mrs Orimwood's ' flight from
the British camp anil afterward wrote a sym
pathetic note to Mrs. Grimwood.
Scared by the formidaolo chutactorof the

n deputation to Mr. Chuplin asking
that the bill bo pressed to its passage during
the present session. Mr. Chaplin , In explain
ing the obstacles that would not allow the
bill to pass , stated that only Id per cent of
tlio moat trade consisted of foreign Imports
mid onlv 10 per cent onme In llvo stock and
therefore that the current assertions that the
bill would seriously interfere with trade
were unfounded.

Loxnov , July 10.-Tlio Inhabitants ofjLon-
don mid vicinity turned out in foreo to wit
ness the progress In state of Emperor Will-
lam from Buckingham palnco to Guild hull
and back to the palaeo , after par
taking of the hospitality of the
lord mayor. The streets through which
the piojosslon passed were lined with Im
mense crowds of people and a largo force of
police and sold lots kept thorn clear.
At b o'clock this morning the emperor re
viewed the queen's Westminster \ oluntoors on
lawn of Buckingham pahu-o. After this re
view the Gorman ruler enjoyed n light break
fast and then visited the naval exhibi
tion. Leaving the exhibition the emperor
returned to Buckingham palace and retired
to his private apartments In order to transact
public1 business connected with the Gorman
empire.
Precisely nt noon the royal state carriage
left Buckingham palace for Guild hall. As
the procession loft the palaeo , from
all over the eltv peals of bells rang
put and announced that the Imperial pageant
had commenced. The decorations were
superb , every Inch of the way from the
Strand to Guildhall abounding In colors.
Flags weio to bo soon everywhere , and con
spicuous among thorn woio hundreds of
American Hags along with the bunting of
every nation.
The nnnc.tranco of Emporer William was
the sign for tremendous cheering The re
ception of the prince of Wales was of a mixed
character , though on the whole It was favor
able.
able.Tho
The Impciial party reached Guild hall at
1 : ! ! < ) . The lord mayor received the guests at
the entrance and the procession formed and
moved to the library , where the court of
common council was held. The recorder read
an address to his majesty declaring that the
lord mayor and the corporation extended a
sincere welcome , and declaring that his visit
to the queen was a happy augury of the con-
t'nuancuof ' Vho Irlcndly and allectlonato re
lations so long existing between the two na
tions. The addiHMs was presented inn splen
did gold casket , richly enameled mid studded
with Jewels.
The ompcior replied to the address , ex
pressing thanks lor the welcome extended
him. Ilo said ho would always , as far as It
lay in his power , maintain the historical
friendship existing between England and
Germany. Continuing , ho said : "My aim Is ,
above all , the malntiilminco of peace , for
peace alone can give tlio confidence necessary
to help the development of science , art
and trade. Only so long as peace
remains are wo at liberty to bestow earnest
thoughts upon the great problems , the solu
tion of which in fairness and equity I con
sider tlio most prominent duty of our time.
I shall always bo found ready to unite with
you and with otnor nations In common labor
for peaceful progress , friendly intercourse
and the advancement of civili/.ation. "
Dinner in Guild hall followed the proceed
ings in the library.
When the city's guests had been somewhat
refreshed by the good things of the tables
other speeches of welcome were exchanged
' over the wuio , " but they were purely of n
formal nature. The emperor sat on the
rlghtof the lord mayor and the empress was
seated on Ins loft.
Ati0 ! : ; ! p. m. everybody felt comfortable
and strong enough to bear the fatlguo of the
journey baclt to Buckingham and ether
palaccn and so the imperial party loft the
smoke-begrimed Guild hall and returned west
ward by way of the Thames embankment.
Along that really admirable thoroughfare ,
bordering ' -Old Father" Thnmow. ns the
nvcf Is affectionately termed , the seonos of
the morning or earlier progress woio re
peated.
On the way to the "Thames embankment , "
at Ludgnto circus , where tno rougher ele
ment of the city was packed in all the nu
merous thoroughfares branching Into that
much frequented center , there were some
what exciting Incident * ) . The rowdy ele
ment hud been getting up steam on beer and
gin for many hours past and had worked it
self into a frjmo of mind well adapted to
giving the prince of Wales or any body else a
decidedly warm reception. White waiting
for the heir apparunt there were a number of
lively and decidedly interesting frco tights
and hcrimmaucs between tlieso London hood
lums and the police , In which tlio latter gen
erally managed to come out ahead and which
ended In ono or more rufllans lietng relegated
to the rear and tlieuco escorted to the
nearest police station. All this had
been tuning up the mob as It wcro ,
so that when the prince of Wales' carriage
appeared it was In a condition to do unpleas
ant things. The authorities , It Is under
stood , received an Intimation that the roughs
were preparing to give him a distinctly hos-
Illo reception. In any case when the car-
lingo containing the prince and princess of
Wales passed through Ludgato circus It was
driven at a decidedly rapid pace , o much so
that the carnage had passed the dangerous
spot bufoio the main body of the crowd was
aware that the prlnco was In their midst.
AH It was , however , In sptto of the presence
of the princess of Wales beside him the
prince was greeted with repented outbursts
of Jeering ami "booing" which were only
slightly not olT by a few faint cheers.
In the face of this hostile demonstration
the urlnco of Wales , apparently unmoved ,
leaked .straight to his front as he passed the
excited crowd ami mndo no ntlcinpt to reply
by salute to the weak cheering which broke
out In opposition to tlio "booing , " etc.
The reception accorded to the prlnco of
Wales was in strong contrast to the hearty ,
ringing cheers with which the duke of Qon-
naught , his brother , was greeted by the Lud
gate circus crowd as the duke passed over
the same ground.
While the procession was on Us way back
to Buckingham palaeo and Mnrhoroiigh house
the main body of American sightseers gath
ered at the windows of the big now "Amor-
lean" hotel along the Thames embankment
and had splendid views of the whole affair lu
id ) Its state goorgeousnosH and were accord *
Ingly moro or loss hlchly gratified by what
they haw.
This has been to nil Intents and purposes a
full day'o ' holiday In London and tomorrow
will bo a Hccond holiday In vlow of the great
rovlow of 120,000 volunteers and regulars
which Is down for Saturday , Every royal
Mibject of the queen Is naturally desirous
that the volunteers should make a good
showing before the German emperor , and If
the weather Is favorable It Is safe to predict
that tomorrow will sea as line a turnout of
populace and volunteer soldiery as the coun
try can ooslly furnish.
There were many arrests made today , as Is
usual on all largo gatherings of this da-
scrlptlon , but iho German societies and tbo
French nnarohlst element were apparently
absent or subdued Into a state of passive
( submission by tlio warnings sent out by the
police to the off eel that nnv anarchistic or
socialistic outbreak would bo most severely
dealt with and ix-mumborod agnlnsutho agt-
tatora In the future. As many of the Gor
man and French axilos have good reasons to
bo on good terms with the authorities It Is
concluded that they wlsuly determined to re
frain from giving uny nubllo exhibitions of
their feelings.
