Shoots His I Father-in-Law and _Brothcr-in-Law and Himself.’ Philadelphia, Nov. 10.—Frederick Fritz and his son Joseph, beer bottlers, of 2020 North Fourth street, were shot yesterday afternoon and mortally in- jured by Charles Garbach, the son- -in- law of the elder Fritz, who afterwa rd sent a bullet through his own brain. He died last evening. Garbach is a cigar manufacturer,I whose home is on Norris street, near - by. A dispute growing out of business relations is said to have caused the crime. Frederick Fritz was the senior partner of the firm of Frederick Fritz & Sons. The business is at Fourth and ,Leithgow streets. The establishment is large, and. thefather and sons are well to do. The crime'occurred in the residence part of the building, which fronts on Fourth street. Garbach visited the Fritz residence this morning. He was in the place some time. Finally the neighbors heard angry words and other sounds of an altercation. These “ere followed by cries. Neighbors rushed into the building, but before they reached the scene Gar- bach was seen to hurriedly leave the place. He ran directly to his own home, about a mile away, (and there shot himself. Fritz and his son were hurriedly removed 'to the Episcopal Hospital, where it was found that both had been shot through the right tem- ple. Garbach was also removed to the same 11151111111011.1111 had shot himself through the right temple. CHAOS IN AUSTRIA. The Political Situation Is So Strain- ed That Bloodshed May Result. London, Nov. 10.—-A letter received here from Vienna says that the pub- lished reports of the political situation in the Austrian Empire convey no ade- quate idea of the chaos prevailing. “Badeni must go,” is the general war cry now, and his downfall is consid- ered inevitable. regardless of the out- come .of the present fight between the Germans and the Czechs. The letter adds: . “No one can foresee how it will end. If the Germans win there may be bloodshed in Bohemia, and if the B0- hemians are persistent the Germans will have to fight with their sharpest weapons to assert their prerogative nd save the Austro—Hungarian dual- 1ty. The. danger, however, lies in the active party in the Reichsrath, which openly declares for Prussia, and wants to see the former German provinces, as Bohemia, handed to the Hohenzol- ~lerns.” Killed Himself with Gus. New York, Nov. 10.-After writing :1 letter to his wife, Ernest Slim-land, 23 years old, of New Orleans, La... com— mitted suicide yesterday by turning on the ‘gas in his rooms at the Vanton - apartment house. 509 Fifth avenue.

Yesterday afternoon Miss Cis- neros and Karl Decker, the newspaper correspondent, gave a private recep- tion at the Arlington to the law stu- dents of the Georgetown University. Ben Butterworth Dying. Washington, Nov. 10.4—The extreme illness of Commissioner of Patents Butterworth is regretted by his many friends in Washington. The Commis- sioner has resided in Washington for many years and has gained the re- spect and admiration of men of all parties. The reports received to- day from the bedside of the sick man are not reassuring to his friends, and they feel considerable alarm as to the resuit of his illness.

Willard, well known as a millionaire and banker, has made-an assignment. Mr. Willard estimates his direct lia- bilities at about four hundred and eighty thousand dollars.

His as- sets are largely real estate, which was. worth a few years ago considerably over two million dollars. No Hope for Dreyfus.

Low “'nter Mark of Rfllvr‘ay Build- ing Reached Last Year. Washington. Nov. 10.——Be'fo‘re Gen. Wade Hampton retired from the office of Commissioner of Railroads he filed with Secretary Bliss his annual report for the year ended on Sept. 30 which has just been made public. He notes that the long period of depression in. railroad businé’Ssreached its lowest point in 1896, when the falling off in passenger trafiic and demoralization in freight rates, together with the de- crease in volume of business, most se- riously affected the earnings. “The low water mark," the Commis- sioner continues, "was reached in rail- way construction, and during the year thirty-four roads, with 5,441 miles of road, passed into the hands of the courts, and fifty-eight others. which had been previously placed in receiv- ers' hands, were sold at foreclosure." Regarding the settlement of the Union Pacifig debt. Gen. Hampton says: "I have, in each one of my previous reports, recommended the adjustment of the indebtedness of the Pacific rail- roads to the Government through the medium of a commission to be ap- pointed by the President, and it has al- ‘ways seemed to me that a settlement more advantageous to the Government could be obtained if all the compan— ies, particularly the Union and Cen- tral Pacific, could be negotiated with at the same time, and possibly in the same way, than could be accomplished by settling with them at different times and on a different basis. I am not disposed, however, to question the wisdom of the course pursued by the Department of Justice in the case of the Union Pacific Railway, and viewed 510111 a financial Standpoint, it would see .1 to be about the best thing for the Goveinment to do under the circum— stances. The-‘main objections which have been urged against this method of settlement have come from strong advocates of Government ownership: or of operation under Government su- peryfvision. I have always regarded this as not only a doubtful, but a dan- gerous experiment, which would in- volve the Government in enormous ex- pense and would in all probability re- sult disastrously.” IN LEAGUE WITH SATAN. A Murderer Make- This Astonishing Plea for Defense. Dove, N. H., Nov. 10.-—His compact with Satan was witnessed by a clergy- man, Joseph E. Kelly said yesterday, when his trial for the murder of Cash— ier Joseph A. Stickney, of the Great Falls National Bank, in Somersworth, began before the Supreme Court. This astonishing statement, upon which the defense5will base a plea of insanity, was made to the prisoner’s counsel, James Ryan, J r., of this place. “Ever since I was 11 years old,” he has said, “Satan has been my constant companion. And the agreement with him will not run out until January 15, 1899. I will be 25 years old then. My first act under the agreement was to steal a watch, and I was impelled to deeds worse and worse until I killed the old man in the doorway of his bank and took all the money in sight.” . Many insanity experts have been re— tained by the defense, and a doctor who treated Kelly for some injury to the head years ago has been subpoe- naed as a witness. A LAND OF SKELETONS. Famine Reduces Men to Bones in Archangel. St. Petersburg, Nov. 10.-—A terrible famine is ravaging the Province of Archangel, a Government of European Russia, in the extreme north, extend- ing from the Ural Mountains on the east to Finland on the west. Many have already died of starvation. The people wander about, reduced al- most to skeletons, their heads swollen to the size of buckets. Tea. is the only means of subsistence. The Province of Archangel has an area of nearly two hundred and ninety thousand square miles, but it is one continuous flat and almost an unvaried scene of desolation, especially in the most northern parts, where the ground remains frozen nine months in the year. Almost the only crops raised are hemp, flax, potatoes and some rye, neither the climate nor the soil admit- ting of the cultivation of oats or wheat. The timber forms the principal wealth. In spite of these unfavorable condi- tions, the province has ,a population of about three hundred thousand souls. Revealed Through Jealousy. New Orleans, Nov. 10.——Six years ago the body of Gen. Harrington, of Abbe- ville, was found floating in Bayou Ver- milion. An autopsy showed that he had been murdered, but no evidence could be found as to the murderer. Yesterday Mrs. Horace Guidry testified that her husband had murdered Har— rington. She had concealed the guilt of her husband until he had abandoned her for the widow of the man he had murdered. Jealousy prompted her ac- tion. Guidry was arrested and is now In Jail charged with murder. news 111 BRIEF. The Queen of Italy has sent a. porr- trait of herself to Cardinal Gibbons.
