Peart, Tut tlie Oi-her Ma Kecover.

GALVESTON, Dec. 5.—Hie sensation ot the hoar here is the poisoning of five of her children, by Mrs. Louis Alberti. Willie, aged 4 years Dora, aged 8 years Lizzie, aged 8 years, and Delia, aged 10 years, are dead, but Emma, aged 16 years, is still alive and hopes are entertained for her recovery.

The scene at the once happy home was agonizingly sorrowful. Louis Alberti, the father, and his 14-year-old daughter, Wilhelmina, the only ones who escaped the poisoned wine given by the demented mother, were overcome with grief when the house was visited.

While this scene was being enacted at the house, Mrs. Alberti was placidly sitting in her cell. When told that some of the children were dead, she said: "I wanted to kill them, I have been ill for the last eight months and know that I could not All my obligations

BERLIN, Dec. 6.—Emperor William, wearing a British uniform, visited the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York Wednesday morning, and the two latter afterward returned his majesty's visit an hour later. They then started for England.

William donned a Prussian uniform and prepared to open the reichstag. Tlio Radicals are l'uri.'-n iu-it the monarch does not come to the parliament, but, that instead, his majesty must go to the castle for the ceremony. This course of his majesty, says T.. Fr"" iiiiiig Zcxcung, shows liow luoii^i a part parliamentarism holds in Germany.

The session of the reichstag was opened at noon in the Rittersaal of the castle instead of in the usual White Hall, which is being renovated.

Emperor William, in person, read his I speech from the throne.

An Elegant l'rogram.

The programme issued from this office for the "Gloriana" company last night is pronounced by our business men as the neatest thing ever issued in the city as far as workmanship is concerned.

Ben Strickland, "the hustler," solicited and wrote up the ads, and the mechanical work was done by Mr. Frank Pitts, of this office, who ranks high as a job printer.
