Mass, has identified the man confined In Worcester jail under the name of John Reed as one of two who buncoed him out of $2,000 cash at his place in Gardiner about Nov. 1. They played the 31d three-card game, and let Brown Win $1,000. He drew $2,000 out oftthebank to add to his capital for a later session at the cards, and placed all in a box provided by one of the bunco sharps.‘ He took the box home with him to din-V ner, intending to return _ and play further in the afternoon. At the din- hour he became curious to see the ney he had Win, and moms open the l box. It contained the usual stone: wrapped in a newspaper and a letter advising him to quit gambling. Reed and an associate who escaped tried tol work the same dodge '111 Ha1vard two weeks ago, and the town constable got after them. Reed drew a revolver and[ escaped, but was arrested in Clinton an hour later. He was fined for gam- bling, and is held in heavy bonds to, await the action of the Giand Jury for assault with a pistol on Constable Will-‘ lam Hanna, of Harvard. ' l Warrants are at the jail for the ar-l rest of Reed in case he should get bail. He 'is wanted in connection with a $5,- 000 bunco game at Stafford Springs, Conn.; 221 $4,500 job at Framin‘gham, Mass; one of $3,500 at Chelmsford; one of $4,500 at Franklin, N. H., and one of $3,000 at Bridgewater, Mass, in addi- tion to the Gardiner job. The six jobs were alike, and the total proceeds of the pair in three months, so far as is known, is $22,500. The officers are un-l able to identify Reed, except that they; know he has lived in Nmthern New. York. _ COUNT BADENI RESIGNS. l The Emperor Also Declares the Leichsrnth Adjourned. (Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.) Vienna, Nov. 29.—The return to this city of Emperor Francis Joseph from ‘Walsee, where he was visiting his daughter, has been immediately fol- lowed by two steps which have in view the ending of the Parliamentary pande- rnonium and the solving of the govern- ment deadlock. The first step was the publishing of an imperial letter to Count Badeni, the Prime Minister, de- claring the Reichsrath adjourned. The second step was an announcement made at 3 o’clock yesterday morning from the steps of the Parliament build- lng, by Dr. Lueger, the well—known Anti- Semite leader in the Reichsrath, and Burgomaster of Vienna, whol shouted to the crowd in front of the1 building: “Badeni has just given his resignation. The people's will is ful— filled.” ’ The people were jubilant-when they heard of the retirement of the Prime Minister, and they gave vent to their feelings by waving" their hats and shouting “Hoch!” Dr. Lueger had an audience with the Emperor, who told him of Count Badeni’ lS resignation and of his acceptance of it. . Dr. Baron De Gautsch vonFranken— thu'rn, at present Minister of Public In? struction and Ecclesiastical Affairs, will succeed Count Badeni. The news of the resignation of the Prime Minister kept the Ring-stiassc crowded until late last evening, the So- cialist workmen and German students "ejoicing, boasting and arguing, instead of taking part in violently demonstra? live processions, with which the day began. When the resignation became known in Gratz, the capital of Styria, this evening, the city was immediately Illuminated. _ ____.___.__,—— 'LOCKED IN THE ARCTIC ICE.

Nye, of Williams street, whose husband I was lost while whaling in the Aictic, ls fearful that those of the iéiief ex- pedition who sailed on the Bear last Saturday will fare worse than the sail— ors of the ice-locked ships. Mock Hanging Became Real. Reading, Nov. 29. —Harry Hendricks, aged 15 years with a number of other boys, were playing about a stable at Downington Saturday engaged in the game of “."banter One boy proposed a hanging match. Young Hendricks. agreed, and dared his companions to follow his example. A halter was pro-i cured, and Harry, by means of a stool, mounted to the crossbeams, around one end of which he fastened the piece'of harness, tying the other end around his throat. He smiled at the group below,- and they shouted in glee. Suddenly Harry’s feet slipped, and he fell. with a shriek, which was strangled in his" throat by the band that tightened: about his neck and cut into the'flesh. The other boys in horror fled for help; A man quickly responded and cut the boy down. Drs. Tyndell and Kerr, after an examination, said that the boy’s neck was broken. He was carried home in a, dying condition. 'Emot Dnnforth to,Wea Again. Riverhead, L. 1., Nov. 29.——The en- . gagement of Miss Mary B.

' _,/ GERMANY’S’PLANS IN CHINA. Eight Cruisers and 3,500 Len Will Be in Kiao Chou Buy. Berlin, Nov. 29. —The presence of Em.- peror William at Kiel upon the occa- sion of sWeari-ng in the naval recruits has had the expected effect of clearing _the situation so far as Germany's atti- tude towards China and Hayti is con— cerned. Within two months a squadron of eight fine cruisers, having on board 8,500 men, will be assembled in Chinese waters, and the fact that Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of His Majesty, is. to command half this force leads probably to :the reports, current in government circles, that hot work is expected, as Prince Henry’s great ambition for years has been to win naval laurels. Furthermore, the correspondent here of the Associated Press has been told by gentlemen who Were at Kiel upon the occasion referred to that Empero1 William, in conversation with Admiral Von Knorr, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy, and with Prince Hem y, made use of the expression: “We must forestall England.” This remark was made while the Em- peror was enlarging On the situation in .China and dwelling on the fact that the advantage gained by the quick ac- tion of the German naval forces in Kiao Chou Bay must be followed by an adequate strengthening of the squadron by the forces available. >The German newspapers are almost unanimous in demanding that Germany seize the present opportunity to obtain adequate and tangible compensation for her support of China. in the peace negotiations with Japan in 1896. The Deutche-Zeitung is the mouthpiece of this feeling when it says: “We rejoice to say that we thus have a guarantee that the German Empire sends out a fleet with the firm purpose of obtaining tangible results on the coasts of the Yellow Sea, for it is the second time that a Hohenzollern Prince has hoisted his flag against exotic piracy, and we are certain he will only return crowned with laurel.” AIR-SHIP THAT SAILED. Flontd in Different Directions at Will of the Inventor. Topeka, Kan, Nov. 29.~—-Charles Haas, of Topeka, on Saturday manipulated an airship successfully in the presence of a large crowd. The ship is twelve feet squale, and is equipped with numerous wings, or sails, and propellers. The machine is constructed so as to sail in a high wind without the aid of the equipment, that being necessary only when the wind is low. . The wind was very high, and Haas did not need the propellers, nor did he venture on a trip, but he put 200 pounds of rock in the ship's hull to test its car- rying powers. The ship sailed rapidly and smoothly into the ail for 500 feet, when it was stopped by a 10pe to which it was attached The ship was sent up several times in different directions, Haas being able to guide it with two ropes fastened to the sails. Haas proposes to use an electric mo- tor for his propellers. Several Topeka men, after seeing the exhibition, volun- teered to put up money forHaas to make further experiments. OKLAHOMA WANTS TO COME IN. , Meetings All Over the Territory in Favor -of Statehood. Perry, Oklahoma, Nov. 29.—The peo-_ ple of Oklahoma are now much inter- ' ested in Statehood, and the next Con- . gress will be asked to make the Terri— tory a State. In nearly every county in the Territory meetings are being held, at which resolutions favoring immedi- _ ate Statehood a1e passed. Two weeks ago the Territorial Press Association met at Hennessey and passed strong- resolutions on this line, and since then nearly every city has followed. Oklahoma. has over 300,000 population, and her top assessment amounts to nearly $30, 000, 000. The advocates of Statehood argue that nearly one- half of the States were admitted with a less population and less wealth. It is the desire to get immediate Statehood and thus be able to have the Indian Terri- tory attached to the new State as the different reservations are thrown open to white settlement. Both Territories would make a State of more than 500,- 000 inhabitants. Postmaster-General in New York. Washington, Nov. 29.—Postmaster— General Gary, accompanied by his pri- vate secretary, Mr. Dawson, left last night for a visit to New York City.

A Disease that is Numbering. sits Vic- tierby Hundreds of ThouSands. ’ _ Constipation is a disease that stops the machinery Of the body. It puts every organ out of cOndition.
