Queer Case of Mental Weakness. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Chawfordsville, Jan. 23. Miss Minnie JJradley, daughter of Mrs. Mary A. Bradley, who lives five miles northeast of this city, is suffering from a strange malady of the mind. The attending physician reports that there is absolutely nothing physically the matter with her, and that she is rapidly losing her mind. This young lady was dn perfect health two weeks ago. but as soon as a lunacy commission sent Miss Augusta Swisher to the asylum, Miss Bradley became denpondent, and has lain for the past three days in a stupor, with her eyes fixed upon the wall, and when aroused she will call the name of Miss Swisher, ana then again sink back into, unconsciousness. Miss Bradley and Miss Swisher were bosom friends, and. as the insanity of Miss Swisher was caused by electricy. it may be possible that the companionship has had something to do with this case.

DEATH OF A BELGIAN PRINCE

Baudouin, Heir to the Throne, Dies Sud denly of a Complication of Diseases. Brussels Filled wiTh Rumors as to the Cause of His Demise His Own Imprudence Responsible ScanJ&l and Romance. Brussels, Jan. 23. Prince Baudouin, nephew of King Leopold, and heir to the Belgian throne, is dead. He died in this city at 3 o'clock this morning. The cause of his death is alleged to have been an at tack of bronchitis. The death of the Prince has caused a tremendous sensation, and creates consternation in all classes in Brussels. Crowds of people re parading the streets or standing in knots at street-corners, eagerly discussing tne situation. On all sides the warmest expressions of sympathy with the royal family in this, their fresh trial, are heard. Prince Baudouin'a popularity and brilliant talent?, and the bright hopes centered by the Belgians in his future career, make them feel the Prince's lost in the keenest manner possible. The news of the Prince's death was withheld from his sister, the Princess Henriette, a beautiful girl about twenty years of age, who is dangerously ill with Inflammation of the lungs. The pal ace of the Counl of Flanders, where tho PrinceHs resides, is surround by a strong force of police, who are doing their utmost to prevent the unusual noise in the streets froui arousing the suspicions of the suftermg Princess. The sudden death of Prince Baudouin has caused the most alarming rumors to be circulated on all sides, and these rumors grew in import as the day progressed. It was openly asserted that the death of the popular Belgian princo was a repetition of the sad circumstances surrounding the death of the Archduke Rudolph, the heir to the Austrian throne, who met his death in such a mysterious manner on Jan. SO, l&bU It was added that a beautiful Ger man governess, who had been recently banished from the Belgian court by order of King LeoDold. had been in some way con nected with the death of Prince Bauduoin.. Rumor also had it that there had been an intrigue lasting a long time between the governess and the Frince, and the result ot their liaison is said to have been the birth of a child. In any case the death of, Prince Baudouin is associated with many stories and speculation. The court physicians in the death certificate announce that the Prince Haudouin's death was caused by hemorrhage following a severe attack of bronchitis. The nhvsicians also assert that the Prince caught a chill while watching at tne ueaa . . 1 IT siae oi nis Bisier, tne rnncess xienriciio, who Las been ill for some time past. But those statements are far from convincing the people that the real cause of the death of Prince Baudouin has been given to the nnblic. and the startling rumors already referred to are popularly believed to be founded on a solid basis of fact of some de scription. died a natural death. During the course of the afternoon fur-. ther details concerning the death of the young Prince were furnished from official circles. According to the details Priuce Baudouin had for some time past been suf fering from influenza, but in spite of the remonstrances of his physicians he insisted upon passing his nights recently at the bed side of his sister. Princess Henrietta. On Monday last, according to the story, the Prince insisted upon going for a drive, some accounts say for a ride on horseback. In any case it would seem that the Prince's foolhardiness caused him to catch a fresh cold, and on Wednesday he was forced to take to his bed. Yesterday the condition of the Prince had become more serious, but at the same time does not seem to have been such as to cause any alarm, for his in disposition was not known to the general public. During the aiternoon ot l nnrsaay an unfavorable change was noticed in the Prince, and as the evening drew near his condition caused his attendants grave ap prehensions. At 6 p. m. the physicians in attendance compiled a bulletin saying the case was one of dangerous nleuro-pneumonia, which had reached its fourth day, and that there had been a complicated hemorrhage. The bulletin was not issued, however. The members of the royal family were summoned. The King and ijueen were overcome with gnei and wept together, the Queen being finally obliged to retire in consequence of the violence of her grief. The Prince tried to reassure those at his bedside, saying. "I shall be better to-morrow." The physicians were still hopeful until 10 P. m.. when the pa tient was cupped. At midnight the Prince moiionea ur. iieiis to approacn uis ueuside and thanked him for his kindness. His voice was then almost inaudible. At 1 o'clock he motioned his parents closer to ft v - t - i ai M I a L J 1 VI nis neasiue. ne raisea mmseix wuu aimcultv and embraced them in farewell. Both were weeping. The brother and sis ter of the dvmg man tnen knelt at bis bedside. The 'Prince recognized them, and reached out his hand and touched their foreheads. Soon after he had a fresh hem orrhage and died at 1:45 a. M. The physi cians who were in attendance were homeonathists. The royal family have full confidence in tLm. The latest and most probable version of the cause of Prince Baudomn's death Is that it was due to a complication of small pox, bronchitis and bematmnria. The pop ulace are enraged at what they term the blundering of unsuspecting doctors. It now transpires that Prince Baudouin was upon the point of being betrothed to his cousin. Princess Clementina, the third and youngest daughter of his uncle, King Leo DOld. Telegrams and messages of oondolence with the royal family of Belgium in this their great sorrow are already reaching Brussels from all parts of Europe, among the dispatches received being words ox sympathy from Queen Victoria and the Prince and Princess of Wales. Prince Baudouin Leopold Phillippe Marie Charles Antoine Joseph Louis was the son of the Count of Flanders, brother of King Leopold. Princo Baudouin was born in Brussels, on June 3, lwJ. lie was a captain of Belcrian carbiners and a captain of Prus sian cavalry, being attached to the Second Regiment of Hanoverian Dragoons. The brother of Prince Baudouin, Prince Albert Leopold Clent Marie Meinrad, who was born April 8, 1875, is now heir to the throne of Belgium. Prince Albert is study ing under the direction of a number of tu tors, in preparation for passing his examin ations previous to entering upon a military career. "What the Gossips in London Say. Special to the Indian spoils jeoxnaL London, Jan. 2a The death of Prince Baudouin, an heir to the throne of Bel gium, has taken the place of the Duke of Bedford's suicide as the reigning sensation. Everybody is talking about the strange coincidence of fatality that pursues all who were connected with the attempted conquest of Mexico. Maximilian, brother of the Austrian Emperor, and Napoleon's puppet on the Mexican throne, was exe cuted by the Mexicans, and Prince Ru dolph, his nephew, and heir to the throne of Austria, committed sui cide on account of an intrigue. Maximilian's widow, Carlotta. is hopelessly insane: and hr neDhew. Prince liondouin, heir to the throne of Belgium, is believed to have taken his own lite. LeoDold is said to be plunged into the deepest grief oy ice unnappy occurrence, coming at the time when a grave crisis exists in the state on accouut of the universal suffrage agitation.. The next heir to the throne. Prince Albert of Flanders, is but fifteen venrs of age, and is in lar from good health. As the salic law provails in Belgium.excluding females from the throne, the kingdom would be in serious danger of civil war should young Albert dla and King Leopold also. Leopold, however, is not yet an old man. and is in fairly vigorous health. Owing to the near relationship of King Leopold to Queen Victoria, aristocratic gossip is rather reserved on the subject of uauuouin s aeatn, but in quarters not so mucn auected by court influence the opinion is freely nttered that it is a repetition of Prince Rudolph's case, and auotber instance of the growing disposition among

the younger members of royal houses to break through the trammels of pomp and formjind fall in love with whom they

please. King Leopold, it is said, although generally indulgent to his children and relatives, undertook personally to break up an attachment which rnnce liaudouin had formed for a lovely plebeian employed iu training the young Princess Josephine. The attachment was discovered only recently, although an in trigue had been going on for over a year and a prince is said to have been bom who will jiever figure in the list of the royl family. Prince Baudouin, it is said, actually shocked the royal house by proposing to marry the woman he loved, even at the cost of forfeiting his princely position, thus following the example of Prince Oscar of Sweden, who threw up his princely titles to marry Miss Monk. But King Leopold would not have it. He drove the nnhapDv mistress, with her child, out of Belgium, with a provision for their support. provided she would never see Baudouin again, and the Prince either committed suicide, or. as some believe, died of a broken heart. Such is the popular story current in every capital of Europe, and there isreason to believe it to be true in substance. FALL OF A TITLED GIRL. Missing Countess Szirmoh Found in the Slums of New York Known as "Hungry Jennie." - New York, Jan. 2S. The wholo of the sad story of "Hungry Jennie," as she is called in the Thompson-street dives Virginia, the Countess tizirmoh, in her right home and by her right title has not been told. It turns out that she has a husband, a legal, honest husband, and there is yet hope that her case may not prove to be as desperately, hopelessly bad as it has been painted. There seems to be no doubt of it. Joseph Monderer. a journeyman barber of Jersey City, is her lawful husband. He says they lived together four months, dur ing which time Jennie was his loyal wire. Suddenly one day she was missing. Her old habits and companions had overmas tered her resolve to live a decent life. She had eloped, so her husband found, or says he found. with a young American or Englishman whose acquaintance she had made on tho street, lie sought her high and low, but up to night had not come across her. United States Deputy Marshal Bernhardt is not altogether pleased that the story of the Count's search for his daughter has been made public. He knows were the girl is now but won't tell. "At to whether her father will take her back," lie said, "I am not altogether certain, though I believe he wilL At one time he says'he will take her back, and at other times he has told me she could never return to him. 1 hope. however, to bring them together. 1 think the greatest difficulty will be found with the girl." Marshal Bernhardt said he had seen the Countess'within the last few days. He thought the publicity given the matter bad frightened her away from where he had last seen her.

Thinks Illalne Is Friendly to Canada, Kingston. Ont. Jan. 23. Hon. Mr. Chapleau. Secretary of State for Canada, in an address delivered here last night referred to the extended powers of Mr. Blaine, and said he believed Mr. IHaine was. in his in most heart, a friend of Canada. He said that those who argued that Canada must surrender her r(vf lag industries to the United States are opposing tho wishes of the people of the Dominion. It is impossible, he declared, to have free trade with the United States, and at the same time to discriminate against England. Canada was. however, prepared for free-trade rela tions with the United States. He was in favor of full reciprocity with the United States in natural products. If at any timo there was an expression of ill feeling between the two countries it never went from this side of the line. Canada wants to deal with the United State as nation with na tion. Avalanche of Snow at Quebec Quebec. Jan. 23. An immense avalanche of snow fell last night from the cliff's of the Plains of Abraham into Chainplain street. half a mile from the scene of the disastrous landslide of 1889, which caused the death of fifty-two people. The avalanche occurred at the very spot where a similar slide fifteen winters ago demolished two houses and killed seven people. The houses were never rebuilt on the cliff side of the street, or the fatal disaster of 1870 would have been repeated, for the snow last night filled the street to the depth of twenty feet and smashed in the fronts of four houses on the opposite side of the street, partially demolishing them. Fortunately, the inmates all escaped injury. though some of the houses have bad to be evacuated, and others can only be ocenpied in the rear portion of the upper stories. The damage will be considerable. Death from a Dog Bite. New York. Jan. 23. George Kendall, the voung English farm-hand of Arlington. N. J., who was bitten in the lip by a pet Skye terrier belonging to his employer, Mr. Schuyler, two months ago. died here, to day, in the Chambers-street Hospital, a vic tim of hydrophobia in its most horrible form. A coroner held an autopsy, this afternoon, on the body of Kendall. The verdict of the coroner was that Kendall died from the effects of the dog bite, and the pathological reasons were found to be the congested condition of the gray matter of the spinal cord and the congested state of the brain covering. The vital organs of the body were found to be in a state of con gestion generally. 1 he lungs, heart, kidneys and liver were found to be, of normal size, but slightly congested. A microscopical examination of some of the parts will be made later. Wants of .Nebraska Farmers. CniCAbo, Jan. 23.

TRYING TO END THE STBIKE

Conference Committees of the Chicago Erie Road and Its Men Agree. Employes in Session at Midnight Considering the Compromise Scott Ignored in the Proposition of the Officials. Special to the Imllanspolls JoarnaL Huntington, Ind., Jan. 23. The city has been very quiet for the past twenty-four hours. The departure of the committee of conductors for Chicago yesterday evening to hold a conference with the officials, established a truce which was scrupulously observed by both the- officials and the men. Not a wheel moved on the main track between Chicago and Marion, 0 except the special which returned from Chicago at 8 o'clock this evening. But few of the employes were to be seen In the vicinity of the shops or offices,, but a large number congregated at the halls of the various brotherhoods to discuss the situation. .Complete plans of federation of the different departments were perfected and a united front will be presented to the company, not only on this division, but probably throughout the Erie system. The greatest interest centered all day on the conference at Chicago, bnt not a word as to the result reached here until the return of the committee at 8 o'clock P. M. At 10 o'clock the various orders are in session to hear the committee's report. But little is known outside, except that General Manager Tuoker refuses to reinstate Train-dispatcher Scott for even one hour, although Agreeing, if the men will resume work to reinstate all other employes now in the strike without prejudice. Whether the strike will be continued or not rests upon the decision of the joint session. The result cannot be predicted, as everything is done in greatest privacy, and with closed doors. A probable incident of the strike will be & suit for slander, instituted by Train-dispatcher Scott against General Manager Tucker. In a letter of Mr. Tucker's, giveu to the city press for publication, Scott is severely assailed on his past reputation, and has already consulted a leading attorney with a view to redress in court for damages by defamation. A dispatch from Chicago says that Chief Clark, of the Order of Railway Conductors, and the committee of strikers who went up late last night, had a conference, this morning, with Vice-president Thomas, General Manager Tucker and other officials of the road. It appears that there has been a misunderstanding between the officials aud men from the first. Chief Clark, who is a man of more than ordinary intelligence, said to a reporter at noon: "The men have understood that when Scott was suspended there was a direct promise on the part of the company that he would he reinstated. I have convinced Mr. Tucker that they were justified in believing this from the information that came to them. They were told that all the old Chicago $z Atlantic man were to be discharged, and that Scott's dismissal was simply the beginning. They did not doubt that the company had broken faith with them m Scott's case, and that they were being tricked. I cannot tell who made these representations to the men, but we have proved them, to the entire satisfaction of the officers of the road. We learn from them that no such promise was made to Scott, and they have no intention of getting rid of the old employes, as alleged. This, l am confident, will bring about an amicable understanding. This committee has no authority to accept any terms of settlement unconditionally, but we will go back to Huntington and make our report, and there is no doubt that our recommendations will be acted upon." Up to nar midnight to-night General Manager Tucker, at Chicago, was still anxiously awaiting developments regarding the action of the central committee of the Order of Railway Couductors in session at Huntington. Mr. Tucker said the committee that waited on him during the day agreed to waive their demand for the reinstatement of the discharged man Scott, but insisted that the company recognize the 'right of all employes to belong to any labor organization they saw fit to join. Mr. Tucker remarked that he thought it a benefit to their men to belong to some recognized organization of labor, that the benefits to be derived from such membership made the condition of the laboring men better in every way and that the company, would pledge themselves never to discharge any of its employes simply because they were members of any such brotherhood or organization. When Chief Clark departed he stated that he would use his best endeavors to persuade the central committee at Huntington to declare the strike off. Charge of Bulldozing Against the St. PauL Des Moines, la., Jan. 23. The Iowa State Railroad Commissioners to-day received the following dispatch from Ana1 mosa: "The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Company have sent out messages to their agents on their lines to notify the citizens of the towns in sympathy with the telegraph operators who have resigned, and are fighting for their rights, that nnless they relinquish their sympathy for such men the stations at such places will be permanently closed. The company is also hiring incompetent telegraphers, men who can hardly read a station call, thereby endangering the life of every person who travels on the road." The commissioners at onee took steps to investi gate the truth of the charges. The commissioners also received a petition from Brown, la., saying that the station is closed and asking for an investigation. Strike Averted. Clearfield, Pa., Jan. 23. The conference of operators and miners advertised for the 16th inst, has been held in this city, convening at 1p. M. yesterday, and adjourning at 1 this afternoon. The attendance of miners) was large and intelligent The attendance of operators was small in numbers but large in interest or ownership. They agreed to exert their best offices in behalf of a joint convention of operators and miners to be held not later than the third week in March next. Thus happily ends, for a time at least, what threatened to be a disastrous struggle for an increase of wages. - LOST HIS NERVE. Why a Locomotive Engineer Left m Sarfaoe Road for an Aerial Track. New York Tribune. "I left my engine on a great railroad.1' said an elevated engineer, "because 1 lost my nerve. I ran for years one of the fastest trains on the road. From the time we pulled out from Jesey City until my run was ended we went like a streak of llame. I did not mind it at first, but one night when we were outracing the wind to make nptime, I had just time seethe blinding Hash of a headlight before I was smashed through my cab. That was one of the worst wrecks that ever occurred on the road. Both the engineer and brakeman of the other engine were killed instantly and my own fireman was so badly cut to pieces that he did not live to reach the hospital. 1 was little more than alive myself, but I pulled around after awhile and went back to a throttle. 1 was shaky for some weeks, but gradually got back my nerve so that I could drive afast express without trembling. Well, I got into another wreck in the course of time. That shook my nerves again. Once 1 was arrested charged with causing the death of a lot of people. God knows I had no more to do with it than you. I was running a wrecking train at lightning speed. The division superintendent stood close at my side and kept encouraging me to let her out. We dashed aronud a curve clear through a freight train. The superintendent himself had cleared the track, but forgotten this train. He was killed and ray fireman was cut in two. When I got out of the hospital I was put on triaL Of course 1 was acquitted. I was simply running on orders. But I left the road after that I tried another one, but I could not trnst orders, signals or switches. I was always uneasy. It takes a good deal of nerve to go jumping past a switch in the dead of night when you know if some one has made a mistake you are sure to be in a terrible wreck. You have got to have absolute confidence La

A Toklo Editor Tells or Xlarsh Customs and of Dishonest Natives. Chicago Herald. J. Maynard Saunders, editor of the Hy ogo Kobe News, was at the Palmer House yesterday. "It is the women, God bless them, that redeem Japan," exclaimed he. "The men are mean and have no commercial integrity whatever, and a foreigner in Japan has hard work to hold his own. He has no recourse to the native courts of justice, and yet the Japanese have a chance to go before the consular justices. These globe-trotters and peoplo who go over for two or three months, and then write their impressions, which abound in high-flown terms and rosy pictures of the natives, the climato and the customs, do resident merchants a great injury and foster the feeling throughout the world that everything is as It should be in Japan. Let a man live there a few years and he will find that there are a great many drawbacks. .The. young stuents who have been educated in England and the United States are always making a great deal of trouble. They look on all foreigners as interlopers, and think if they could get rid of them that, with their education and limited knowledge of the world, they could till all our places. There is a strong effort being made by these young fellows to have all foreigners made amenable to the laws of the country. This is manifestly unjust because the country is not sufficiently advanced in civilization. The laws are imperfect, and made for the rich and not the poor. For instance, although it is not generally known, there is no question but that criminals, and, in fact suspects and all prisoners, are tortured by the authorities to compel confessions. If this country or England consents to allow its subjects to be governed by the native laws, it will be doin a great wrong. "Just look at it" continued Mr. Saun ders. "Japan has only been open to foreign influence for the past thirty years, and although the inhabitants have made vast strides they are still a long way from being civilized. This is particularly the case in the laws of the . land. The government fosters all foreign ideas and all government officials are compelled to wear European clothes. The Japanese are naturally great travelers, and almost all of them that have the means have visited every part of the world. "Native wages have advanced during the past few years with the European innovations until all kinds of labor are now about five times as costly as they were five years ago. They have begun to eat meat and other European articles of diet, and as this costs money living expenses have increased almost as much as the wages. We employ native printers, and it is wonderful how quickly they learn the trade. It is because of their marvelous powers of imitation, for, ot course, they do not know more than the mere characters themselves. The Hyogo Kobe News has a large circulation. It is a daily, sells for 23 cents a copy, and the advertising rates are very high, so that newspapers in Japan are good properties. "The ladies of Japan are charming," said the editor, reverting to his original theme, "and although a few years ago they were wedded to French gowns there has, during the nast few vears. been a reaction, and at the last two balls in Tokio, the capital, the ladies all wore their native costumes. They are petite in statnre and have the taste to see that the French fashions are anything but becoming. They are braver than their sisters in more civilized lands, I think, in that they dare to bid defiance to the decrees of Dame Fashion." An Indiana Artist. Smith Pend Tribune. Mr. D. Kotz, the artist, will go to New York city next week to remain pemanently. Heretofore he has spent hi winters in New York city and bis summers here or at St. Joseph, for several seasons, sketching. No artist in this country is so painstaking with his work as Mr. Kotz. His pictures must pass his critical inspection before he signs them. Too many artists are content to slight their work, for mercenary reasons. They paint for money, if their pictures sell they have attained their end. There is 10 mercenary blood in Mr. Kotz's veins. He is an artist who paints for posterity. His pietures are never "potboilers." If he had to make his choice between starving and painting a poor picture he would starve. Elkins. whom the London Art Journal pro nounced the greatest landscape artist in America, once told the writer that Kotz would be his successor in landscape paintirtrr flaid V.llrina "flan haa l m n.fi.n nm of a generation of Germans. No picture leaves his easel until sky. water, farm. -foliage and atmosphere are up to his ideal. and his ideal is high. St. Joseph county ought to be proud of producing such an artist. He discovered the beauties of your St Joseph river and made them a great resort for artists who want good landscape e fleets. After Vice-president Colfax made me famous, when I was about to succumb to starvation, by purchasing one of my itocky mountain pictures, I painted mount ains and piled up money until I was tired of seeing pictures with mountains in them. Dan coaxed me to come to South Bend and do some sketching along the river. - Would youbelieve it! Dan was as familiar with every nook, clump of trees, swale, meadow. and outre effect as if he had seen them every day on his father's farm out beyond Notre Dame. It was a revelation to me, to study and sketch those quiet, peaceful landscapes along the river, aud 1 abandoned a trip to Nova Scotia to do It." Praise from such aa artist as Elkins was, is praise indeed.
