BROKEN AT TH.72 WHEEL.

A Mediaeval Torture Inflicted In 1878--What a Party of Drunken Students Discovered in the Torture Chamber of Castle Eberfels. The Frozen Corpses of a Hetber aad Child The Ha til a ted Body Bound to the Wheel A Reducer's Horrible Fate. The village of Eberwald, in lower Saxony, was, np to a few months ago, only remarkable for the noble oak forests whicii surround it on every band, from the number of boars in which the bamlet obtains its name, and for its castle, a massive and well preserved mediaeval heap, perched npon the summit of a pinnacled crag behind the village and looking down, like an eag'e from its eyrie, over the billowy eea of verdure which fills the basin like valley of the Eichenthal. It is to-day horribly famous as the theater of of one of the ghastliest crimes of modern times, whose examination by the Dresden Assizes has cent an electric shudder through all phlegmatic Teutoma. THE CASTLE OF EBERFELS, or Boar's Crag, is an appanage of the Von Schilling family, one of toe most aristocratic houses of southern Germany. It was built by tbe first of tbe race, a hard-riding, deepdrinkiog, predatory old baron of the fourteenth century. At that time the Von Schilling rule extended over miles of surrounding country, and the baron dispensed all the jtibtice, or injustice, that was dispensed in the district. People believed in ruling with a rod of iron in those days, and as a consequence the most important factor in the machinery of the feudal government of Icbloss Eberfels was its torture chamber. This mnseum of Inventive cruelty has heen carefully conserved by the descendants of its founder, and offers to-day the moat perfect collection of instruments of torture in Europe, that of the famous Nuremberg folterkammer (torture chamber) alone excepted. Thousands of tourists visit the place annually to inspect this magazine of bloody memories, and eat the baked boar's hsms for which the district is famous, on the terrace behind the tower. The guardian of the castle wa, up the end of last January, an old servant of the Von Schillings named Mehrback, who lived in the tower with his son and daughter, the latter A LOVELY BLONDE OF HISLTEEN. I On the 23d of January a party of drunken students, returning to Dresden from a Christmas spree at their country homes, were compelled by a broken down carriage to remain 1 over night in Kberwald. In the course of a carou.al it was suggested that they visit the castle. A severe snow storm was raging at the time, and night was drawing in, but tbey held to their purpose, and securing tbe services of a village boy as guide, they climed the crags only, however, to find the tower dark and apparently deserted. They finally effected an entrance by breaking down a postern door. The living rooms of the Mchrbachs were untenable and in considerable confusion, and many articles of clothing were missing, as were a couple of valises which tbe boy, who was familiar with the place, remembered always to have teen there. While remarking these facts a noise in a cupboard attracted the visitors' attention, and tbey forced the door. The author of tne disturbance was a dog, which, from its emaciated condition, must have s pent several days in famishing confinement. Further exploration revealed, in a niche in the wall of a dark passage, a bundle of blood stained linen, which was found to contain THE BODY OF A KEW-BORK CHILD. In the room to which this passage led, wrapped in an old blanket, was the naked corpse of Bertha Mebrbacb. There were no signs of violence on the body. Both it and that of tbe child were frozen bard, as if they bed been exposed to tbe cold for some time. Tbe boy was sent back to the village with the news of these horrible discoveries, while the students, after searching every hole and corner of the place, turned their attention to tbe torture chamber. This is an apartment hewn In the solid rock on which . the castle is founded, and comprehends nearly the entire extent included within the circumference of the tower itself. The place is utterly lightness, and the only ventilation it possesses is obtained by a species of drain cut through the rock into tbe terrace. In spite of the intense cold which reigned above, the explorers found the vault opfrrssively warm, while a sickeing stench oadedtbeair. So fetid was tbe atmosphere indeed that it was only by making frequent breathing excursions into the pure outer air that the student were enaDled to prosecute their search to the end. AX ARMY Or BATS scurried into their holes when the explor ers lanterns glimmered in the darkness, and swarms of bats, disturbed from their winter's sleep, fluttered stupidly about. At first the lantern light glinted only on the various hideous instruments to whose inhuman use the place had been originally devoted, dimly revealing the uncouth and cruel shapes of rust eaten iron, dangling chains and clumsy bulka of metal, wood and stone ranged in rude order around the walls and labeled with descriptions for the benefit of curious visitors. Finally one of the party, whose olfactory organs were less eensitive than those of his comrades, penetrated to a distant corner, when a cry of horror summoned his companions to bis side. Before them, bound to a horizontal wheel, or rather, drum, such as is used to ieel off lengths of cable, was the' mutilated carcass of man. The unfortunate wretch was fastened lo the mechanism by a network of stout cords. His tody was stretched to its fullest extent, and was simply a mass of mingled and putrilying flesh and bone, which THE BATS HAD PARTIALLY DEVOURED. From head to foot the skeleton was broken, not a single bone remaining entire. The skull was beaten In, and tbe lower jaw smashed, but the face, which had in a measure escaped the voracity of tbe famishing rodents, was tolerably well preserved. Many of the rhattered bones were scattered about jnhere the rata had dragged them. On the stone floor close by were two bars or rather broad flat bars of iron, each about four feet long and weighing over twenty pound. Tbey were befould with blood, and scraps of flesh adhered totbenu The fioar around the wbeel was smeared with a thick crust of dried gore. Gouts and splashes of blood were visible, too, on the walls and ceiling, where they had spurted under tbe blows. In a corner was a bundle of clothing. By this clothing and what remained of the face, tbe corpse was identified as that of Gottfried Keller, a young forester, whose father held the position of chief warden of the Eichenthal boar preserves. Keller had been a handsome, wild young blade, a deep drinker and a notorious debauchee. His popularity among tbe girls of the district was very great, in tpite of bis known licentiousness; and, if tbe report was to be credited. Bertha Mehrbach had been no exception to the rule. Some gossips went so far even as to assert that she had 6CRRESDEBED HER HONOR TO HIM. Steps were at once taken to ferret out and arrest the Mehrbacha, and on the tenth day after the revelation of the crime they were, apprehended in an obscure public house in Dresden. Tbe young man offered a determined resistance, but his father submitted quietly. At the preliminary examination he admitted his guilt, and voluntarily gave the following account of the murder: Youog Keller had for mora than a ytar

before bis death been in the habit of supplying Mehrbach with game for his aTuomer visitors. This he hai no right to do. as all the game of the forest was strictly preserved; but Keller's tastes were too extravagant to be gratified by his simple salary as forester, and he added the proceeds of his depredations of the very property he was employed to guard to the sura. Of course the discovery of this would have led to his dismissal, as well as that of Mehrbach, who by offering a market for tbe sroil abetted him. Consequently the ties of selfish Interest drew the poacher-forester and the warden closer together until aclose intimacy existed between them. THE FATAL FAS8I05 OF BEBTHA MEHRBACH for the handsome Keller dated back from her first acquaintance with him, and the licentious lover soon made himself master of her honor. The result was that the girl became enciente. The amour had been kept so profoundly secret that when his child's altered figure revealed the truth to him, the revelation descended on old Mehrbach like a thunderbolt. Bertha, wbf n taken to task, acknowledged he culpability, and divulged the name of her seducer. She had appealed to him, she said, over and over again, to repair her W rones bv marrvlnir hor. hnt hw Inv.rUl.l.

reply to her supplications and tears, as well as her threats to inform her father, had been a Jeering "No." This revelation was made on the 15th of January. On the 17th Keller came to the castle with a message from the agent of the Von Schillings, who was stopping at bis father's house on his quarterly visit to the estate. Mehrbach invited the forester to drink, and then repeated the demand his daughter had so often and ineffectually made that Keller should wed her. Although drunk, and taken by surprise, the forester was no more compliant with the f atlier than he had been with the child. In fact, the only answer old Mehrbach received was A BURST OF JEERIItO LAUGHTER. This was too much for the already bt rained patience of the savage old man. lie attacked Keller, while his son, who had been watching at the door, fell upon him also. The wretch struggled fiercely, and it was not until they stunned him with a billet of wood from tbe fire place that he succumbed. What followed is best told in the old, man's own words. "At first," he t jya in his deposition, 'we merely intended to kill him, or, rather, that idea suggested Itself to us when we found him bound at our feet. Then the question arose, 'How was he to die?' "Jofeph (the son) proposed to lo:k him in one of the dungeons, and abandon him to peri.h ot- famine and frost. But I opposed this, as it would have taken too long, and he might be sought for and rescued. Then we thought of shooting, of hanging, of stabbing bim, but such deaths were all too easy. If we could have combined them in one they iu'gbt have served. Finally Joseph said, 'Since we can think of nothing else, why not throw him Into the fire and give bim A TASTE OF TUB HELL HE WILL GO TO?' "While we were talking Bertha came in. She was very weak, for her time was close st hand, and since the day I spoke to her she had eaten little and wept much. When she saw bim the became frantic. She divined our intentions and besought us to spare him. While this was going on the scoundrel recovered, and. discovering that he was bound, began to curse ber who was at that very moment pleading for his worthless life, with frightful oaths. Joseph hicked him in the face and broke bis jaw, when he became silent. '.This made Bertha ilL She fainted and was carried to her bed, where, with frightful convulsions, she gave birth to a dead child. She was so utterly exhausted that we thought it safe to leave her. An hour later she leaped from the bed and fell dead on the floor. "Now all reason abandoned us. We were like two mad acd ferocious beasts. We beat and kicked him till he became senseless, and were about to throw bim in the fire when I thought of tbe torture. We carried him to tbe vault. Tbe screws of the rack on which we intended to stretch him wete rusted, and it would not wcrk. We had no oil in the castle or I would have started a fire under the great caldron and BOILED HIM ALIVE, as many a less atrocious criminal had been boiled lefore him. Finally we found that the wheel turned easily, and we tore his clothing from bim and bound him to it. He came to again while we were doing this, and wept ana begged us to spare him. He might as well have spoken to the walls themselves. -We only laughed. He promised even to marry Bertha. We brought her body and tbe child's, and laid them on the ground where we could see them. "Then he knew that all hoi e for him was ended. He became mad in his despair, and howled and cursed, sang scraps of. songs and laughed, and stemed as merry, in fact, as if it had been his wedding eve instead of his last day on earth. "For an hour we allowed him to go on. Then we grew tired even of his feasting on his punishment We took two of the bars tbat belonged to the wheel and set it revolving. We stood on each side ot the wheel, as I bad read of its being done when tbey executed criminals on it in the past. As he whirled by us we struck him with the bars. His screams were deafening. We drowned them with shouts of triumph. His blood spurted on us like rain. We laughed as the hot drops struck our faces. WE HEARD HIS BONES BREAK under our blows, and roarfd with glee. As I have already said, we were no longer buman beings but beasts. But even beasts become weay of blood, and we dropped our bars at last, not, however, until tbey had done their work and left him dead. "Although his cries had long since perished, they still seemed to ring in our ears. A strange horror came over us, and we fled, takiDgafew articles of clotniDg and some money. We hid put Bertha's and the child's bodies where they were found. No one visited the castle in winter, save people who came to see ts on business, and they were very few and far between indeed. So we hoped that many days might pass before we were discovered to be absent. It was ordained other ise, and here we are." After a weeVs trial, wbich was witnessed by thouf aods of morbidly curious peop'e of all degrees, the murderers were sentenced to death. A petition was at once put in circulation by General Franz von Schilling, under whom Mehrbach had served during the Schleswig, Austrian and Franco-Prussian campaigns, fur a commutation of the judgment. Awful as tbe crime was, the motive actuating the criminal seems 1o have recommended them to popular sympathy. The paper obtained a long list of more or less aristocratic signatures, and was pressed so diligently tint its purpose was effected. The sentenoe was commuted to one- tf imprisonment for life.

PROVIDING FOR THE INSANE.

The Accommodations Being Built by the State for Her Unfortunates. A Thorough Inspection of tbe New Buildtogs, Witn a Bascrlptloa of tbe Work Tans Far Accom pllshed. A party consisting of the state house com missioners, Dr. Jameson, Superintendent Evarts, George W. Kyer, Architect May and several representatives of the city press inspected the new insane asylum yesterday afternoon. Peter Koutier, John Martin an G. W. Griffith, contractors of different parts of the building, were on hand and explained the work and the kind of material used in the structure. The building is tbe largest one in the state, being over 1,000 feet in length and from 75 tA 100 fet in width. It is composed of six wings, three on each side of the central build ing, and connected with each other by square tower. Each tower contains a stairway leading to its wing, made ot brick and slate, and the lowers are so arranged that in ca.e of fire or other accident the wings can be completely shut off from each other. The buildings are each four stories in height, exclusiye of the mansard roof, and each floor contains 24 wards besides a dining room and water closets. Each dining room is connected with an elevator which runs from the cellar to tbe roof, and on which the inmates' meals are to be brought from the kitchen, which is In tbe basement in the rear of the central building. Closets are also constructed, in which steam pipes are k arranged that the provisions may be kept warm while the inmates are preparing to eat them. Tbe floors are laid with ash, and tbe doors and wood work are of pine. Between tht floors "deadening" is placed, which not only kills the sound, but renders the building more fire proof. The roof is of slate, and the cornices are made of galvanized iron. The building is to be heated throughout with steam, which will also be utilized in cocking. There are in the engine room ten Immense boilers which will supply the steam, and it requires several miles of pips to convey it to the different rooms and wards in tbe building. Water will be pumped into tanks, which have been placed in the towers and roof, from the engine roony from them the building will be supplied. The ventilation of the building is in accordance with May's patents, and is as thorough as it possibly can be made. Large ventila'ing shafts are placed in the attic,throngh which a constant euoply of fresh air is continually rushing to all parts of the building. Besides this plenty of fresh air is obtained through shafts which have been constructed in the large chimney. The building on the outside presents a plain but substantial appearance, and is finished in a workmanlike manner. The brick used are the best, and have been laid with care. The walls, both on the inside and outside, present the same solid appearance, and not the slightest crack or flaw can be noticed in the whole structure. Mr. John Martin, who had the contract for this part of the work, has fulfilled it completely, and when a person considers the number of bricks that are in the building, over 20.000,- -000, they can imagine that the task of superintending the work was no easy one. Mr. Martin worked 85 brick macons most of tbe time, and with that great number of men to watch he has not allowed a soft brick to be put in the building. The plastering is being done by Griffith & Williams, aDd they are performing their work in a fine manner. No private bouse was ever finished with' better material than they have put in their portion of the work. Mr. Peter Hon tier, one of the city's oldest and best known contractors, la doing the wood work on the building, and his name used in connection with that portion of the work is a guarantee that it will be well dons. The floors in one wing of the building have most all been put down, and those who inspected the building yesterday spoke with tbe highest praise cf the excellent manner in wbich the work was being done. The pieces are joined closely together and present a smooth and beautiful surface, not the slightest warp or elevation being noticeable. The window and door casings are also being furnished in the same excellent way, and speak well of his workmanship. This portion of the work will stand as a monument to Mr. Routier's proficiency as a contractor, aud will be tbe source of many well deserved compliments. Over 400,0(K feet of flooring will be required in the building. Tbe other contractors have also done their work well, and no fault can be found with tbem. Mr. May, the architect of the building, estimated its cost at $850,000, but this estimate was afterwards reduced to $650,000 on account of the fall in the prico of materials, and the board of trustees are confident that they can complete the structure within the last estimate. They take great interest in tbe work, and Eoint to the asylum as a proof that public uildings can be built without the formation of rings. The visitors were well satisfied with their visit, and the state house board received many valuble hints as to the best manner of putting up large buildings. Dr. Everts, who has had entire.supervision ove the work. Is certainly deserving of much praise for the care and watchfulness he has exercised in its construction, and for the persistency with wbich he has protected the interests of the state. From the asylum the party went to Haugh's iron works and took a look through tbat institution. Tbey are constructing the iron work for the roof of the Iowa state capitol, and tbe commissioners bad a chance of inspecting their work in that line. INDIANA INTELLIGENCE.
