A ST. LOUIS MYSTERY.
SO PERISH ALL TRAITORS TO THE
GREAT C*U8E.”
EIGHT BUILDINGS FALL,
Burring Workmen In the* Ruins—Nobody
Killed Outright.
New York, April 13.—Bight five story
homes in Sixty-second street, near Tenth
avenue, fell in this afternoon, burying the
men employed thereon. Up to 4:30 p. m.
ten persons had been taken from the
ruins. They were seriously but not fatally
injured and were removed to
a hospital. Gangs of men are at work
on the debris, «a it is feared that many
others of tbe workmen are still buried.
The buildings were erected last winter, and
were reported by the building depsrtuient
as unsafe. Workmen were engaged in re
pairing defects in the houses at the time
the accident occurred. No mortar w*« used
in tho construction of the walls, the bricks
being held in place by sand.
Nearly fifty men were employed in and
about the buildings. Thirteen of these
were injured—one fatally. Rumors are
afloat that a number are still buried in the
rains. The most superficial examination
ot the debris showed the cause of
tbe disaster to be wretched
workmanship and poor materials.
The mortar contained little or no sand, but
loam or mud instead, and was wholly un
fit for use. This aud the fact »hat the
building had been erected during cold
weather of wet and frozen bricks
were directly ths cause of
the collapse. Tho builder, Charles
A. Baddensick, who was respon
sible, left the neighborhood in a carriage
immediately after tbe disaster and drove
to his residence in East Seventy-seventh
t treet. Where he went from there nobody
could learn. The police, who arresteil
tbe master bricklayer, Cbas. Frank, could
not find the bailder. Buddensick has been
for years in trouble with the authorities
on account of “akin” buildings he has put
up. The evidence given by Frank aud
Cbas. 8wsz*r, another bricklayer, is very
damaging to Buddensick.
BUDDENSICK’4 BUILDINGS.
Eight More of Them Gondemned—The

New York, April 15.-Charles A. Bud-
densicc, the builder of the eight buildings
that fell down on Sixty-second street on
Monday, accompanied by his counsel, ex-
Judge Fullerton, appeared In the York-
ville Police Court this afternoon. A cer
tificate from W. O. Le Boutie'.ler, house
surgeon of the Roosevelt hospital, was
produced. This stated that Lewis Wal
ters, the framer who died
from Injuries received in the disaster,
met his death at the hospital from
the shock and internal injuries. Assistant
District Attorney Purdy argued that the
buildings were dangerously constructed,
and that the offense might be proven to be
murder in tbe first degree. After argu
ment for and against bail, Justice Murray
placed th eamount of Buddensick’a Pond
at $30,009, which was furnished.

The building examiners who yesterday
inspected a row of eight bouses on Elev
enth avenue, extending from Sixty-first to
Sixty-second street, which were bnilt by
Buddensick, reported to the building de-
pa rtment to-day that the structures were
unsafe in many respects and In an ex
tremely dangerous condition. They were
ordered to be taken down at once.

Tbe railway station and streets In tbe

wau greeted with hearty oheera. An ad-
dress ot welcome was delivered and much
enthnsiasm prevails.

in Cork. Everything within the power ot
the loyalists to do was done to make tbe
reception of the royal visitors a success,
and the managers ot the demonstration
remained up most of the night to make
euro of the arrangements. When
the Prince and Princess emerged
from tbe railway station at-
ter their arrival In the city
they were greeted with cheer alter cheer.
Daring tneir progress in tbe parade work
men and buys ran alongside ibeir carriage
and kept up cheering to drown the hisses

entire reu.e and made a continual
hostile demonstration, Tbe circuit
of leaguers aroused tbe loyaista
>o a bigb pitch of enthusiasm, and they
mode tn-- streets echo with sbojits of wel-
come. The wonder is tbat there was no
violent breach of the peace during the
royal progress, for it proceeded amid a
continued warfare of words and taunts
between loyalists and Nationalist!, whose
numbers were shout equally divided.
It is thought that tne presence of the
Princess and her ladylike gracionsneas to
the people along tbe streets was the ele
ment tbat conqnered Irish »allantry.
John O’Connor, Nationalist, ii. P. for
Tipperary, marched at the bead of the
procession ot leagues, - who closely
followed Ihe royal procession, and
esng, "God sava Ireland,” every
time the loyalists or tlielr bind
started up ' God Save the Queen," or "God
Save tbe Prince ot Wales.” Tbe Prince
ot Wales betrayed some feeling when he
replied to the address of welcome pre
sented by the magistrates of Cork. He
said he was glad to hear tbe expres
sion of loyality to the British con-
stitntion and to tbe Queen
which the address contained, and hoped
that every person possessing iDllneocein
Ireland would exert it to avoid dissensions,
which would Interfere with the object and
progress of bis present tour through tbe
country, and unite to promote tbe real
welfare of the Irish people. Tbe Prince
and Princess, soon aiier the conclusion of
tbe procession, departed for Queenstown.

When Dr. Sbrady led General Grant's
house after ihe consultation today, he
said, in answer to a question put to him,
that the general condition o! the patient
was improved.
“How do you account for this steady
improvement?” was aektd.
“The General’s bad attacks have been
earned by complications associated with
tbe usual progress of tbe disease,” was the
answer. “They have been qyercjme for
the present. Of coarse he is better tempo
rarily. The irritation in tbe throat lias
been relieved, and the result is what the
bulletins have stated.”
“And do tho bulletins state everything?”
was asked.
“The bulletins deal with the plain fact*
of the case and with facta only,” responded
Dr. Sbrady.
THE GENERAL MAKES A COMPARISON.
During the consultation this afternoon,
Gen. Grant remarked to hfs physicians In
these words: “The doctorsontalde, I am
informed, are writtog about my case, and

upon his improved condition, that he
thought he would get well.

Coax, April 15.—Early in tbe evening,

where ioflammatory speeches were maue
and the latest London newspapers con.
talnlng accounts ot the royal progress
were burned in a bonfire. After the mats
meeting the Nationalists scattered through
th. city in parlies numbering from 60 to
5C3 men. Doors and winduws were smash
ed, flags and dec' rations were torn down
and heaped upon blazing bonfires, and
many gun stores were broken into
tor the purpose ot arming tbe mob. Po
licemen when encountered singly or tn
small sqnada, were attacked and beaten
nnmerctmUy with their own truncheons.
In many caeca the police rallied and
charged desperately upon the mob, but
they were invariably surrounded and re-
poised. The police then resorted to a tree
nee of their revolvere and bayonets.
It was hand to band fighting ot
the most desperate sort, the
police standing back and receiving and in-
Dieting terrible injuries. At midnight the
streets were iiractirally in the pome salon

Up to this evening there was a (eating ot

the visit ot the Prince of Wales to tbat

evoked an unexpected amount ot
enthnsiasm. £srlv in the evening
the government officials declared that
the attempts of the NatlonalUts

St. Louis, April 14.—A sensation wss
caused at the South Hotel between 11 and
12 o’clock to-day by the discovery ol tbe
mutilated body of a man packed in a
trunk which was taken ont of a room.
The stench from the trunk caused the dls-
covery. The hotel register shove tbat on
March 30 a gentleman registered as Walter
H. Lennox Maxwell, M D„ from London,
and waa assigned to that room. Oo open-
ing tbe trunk it was fonnd lint the bead
of the man was evered fromhis body, and
written on a paper inside the trank were
the words: "So perish all traitors to the
great cause." The trunk snd contents
were taken to the roorgne.
Maxwell is described as a very
OIRLIBH-LOOKING BLONDE
yonng man, wearing a dark, woolly cuta
way salt ol English stuff. His face was
clean-shaven and he wore bis hair
bang-fashion, not parting It at
all. He was seen iu company
frequently with a dark-looking gentleman
about five leet ten inches in height This
gentleman registered at C Arthur Preller,
London, Eng. A telegram had previonsiy
been received from Preller neklng whether
Maxwell was a gnest at the house. He
answored in tbe affirmative, and he soon
came od. Both men occupied the same
room. Maxwell left the hotel a week a.o
Sunday night, but he had paid bis
full week's board promptly, and it waa sup*
posed that ho wonld return any day. No
suspicion was attached to hia absence litl
the horrible smell called attention to bis
room and led to the open.ngot the trank.
When tbe trank containing the body
wss opened In the hotel corridor to-day,
it XV found to contain
‘‘^THE BODY or A MIDDLE AGED MAN,
(ace and breast up, and so doubled
•boat the hips and knees that it
filled the receptscie. On the side ol tbe
trank over tbe bead ol tho corpse was
priuted in large letters the words: ' So
perish all traitors to the "great cause.”
The trank and its ghastly contents were
immediately harried to the Fjur Coarts
In another trunk,was found Maxwell's
London address, as 14 Paper Building
Temple, London, and an envelope
addressed in his handwriting to
"Rev. D. G. A. Lewis, B. A.,
Carafes of St. Paul’s. Moriey, Leeds,

tbe steamer Cephaionia from England.
Preller baa a Russian uns>port riud by the
Russian ambassador iu London in 1878,
and a passport in 1883 lor Spain and Mex-
ico vised by the Spanish minister and
signed “Grenville.”
Seven trunks, (oar valises and a hat-box
were left behind at tbe hotel, and tho con-
tenia, clothing, etc., are valned at hun
dreds ot dollars. This is believed to make
the theory ol a hoax untenable, nnd the
belief is that the corpse is either that ol
Maxwell or Preller.

The coroner msde an aat >psy ot the re-
mams this afternoon, which disclosed tbe

The following is a description of the ob
servatory: Tbe building is situated on
Observatory Mountain, upwards of 300
feet above the surrounding low lands, and
about three miles arm nd by roads from
the University of Virginia. Upon this
same ra< untafn a small observAtorv was
built by Thomas Jefferson in 1825. but it
decayed aud was removed in 1850. The
site is well situated for an observatory, and
the surroundings ere quite picturesque.
Looking toward the south is a broad val-
lny, extending as far at the eye can reach,
and t » t • west th- S uitliwest moun
tains, upon which is the historic home of
Thomas Jefferson. To the north and west
lie the Blue Ridge and other mountains,
and to the northeast one gazes upon an-
othir ! V-' V valley, beautiful honu^tead*,
villages, etc. Tne observatory coniists
of a cylindrical buddintr surmounted by a
hemispherical dome 215 feet in diameter,
and of a rectangular building on tbe north,
uaei as a computing office, library, etc.
The walls of the building are brick, tne cir
cular portion keavily>buttre«9ed, and bear
ing at tbe top a coping of Ohio stone. Oa

the dome revolve?. The dome weighs
23,000 pounds. The telescope is a fellow
to that of tbe United 8tntes naval observa*
tory at W’.idii: g'nn its fucil length being
32j£ feet, and tbe clear aperturo of the ob
ject glass 20 inches. The graduated circles

latnDS. The te!e«cope cost $ 10,000 and the
building about $30 000.
Both are the gift of Lesnder J. McCor
mick, of Chicago. The directorship of tbe
observatory is endowed with the sum of
$50,000, of which 127.000 was given by Vir
ginia and the rest by citizens of New York,
Poiladelphia, Boston and Baltimore. An
additionsl sum of $25,000 was also given by
W. H. Vanderbilt, tf New York. Prof.
Grmond Stone, the director in charge, is a
graduate of the Chtcsgo University.
Prof. H*U*ia his dedicatory address, re
ferring to Jefferson said:
“The founder of this university was a
an who h«d n better understanding of
e tendencies of bis time than any
other man on this continent
knew better than aoy
other man the meaning of
oar revolutionary war and of the French
revolution. He saw that no matter how
tbe tide of affairs might ebb and flow from
year to year, the great c-irreM of evei.t-
tended toward one end, and tbat was the
abolition of class privileges and the broad
ening of the rights of man.
He bad tbe oourage of his
conviction* and spoke wbat he thought.
He be lev* d tbat the most ample and com
plete means of education should be pro-
sided. Naturally, therefore, the crowning
work of bis life was tbe founding of a great
education *1 instituliop, a university in
which all tamlm at fasralm Bboold te
taught. The McCormick astronomical ob
servatory Is ano’her step toward the cira-
pletion of bis plans. We rightly look to
our universities for tbe rneu who are to
form and direct public opinion.”

HOLSTEIN CATTLE.
Comparative Merit, of the Meat nnd Milk
Producer*.
Na*li?lUe Amcrir&a.
Tho recent introduction of Holstein cat
tle into the State of Tenneisee has le-1 to
frequent inquiries as to their rtlativn
merits, as compared with Jerseys and
Short-horns. Fora general purposer w
the Holstein li unequalled. At a milk
producer this breed stands at the head for
quantity, though for richness snd butter-
making qualities the Jersey has ntvtr
Wn equalled. While the Hstotttomay
five a higher milk and butter record, yet
it is not the best batter cow, for the qan* i-y
of butter, as compare J with that of tho
Jersey, is inferior in beauty, flavor ai.d
richness, and tho Jersey will yield a
larger quantity in proDortioa to the
amount of food consumed. The Holstein
ill lny on fat with more rf-ulim-^, i
tore hardy and will stand rough neege
much better. This bre#4 lofes the opta
fields and cannot be confined inclosequor-
ters with s) little damage to health as tha
Th*' j'er-o y k only suitable for the pro*
Auction of milk and battsr, and will prob
ably always be preferred for tbatpnrpoee.
The Short-horns, tha product of high
culture and high feeding, exhibit A combi-
lion of rapid and Urge growth, with *n
■nittnde for fatteniLg,of which their spies-
dil square form and symmetry, good tem
per and docility are such happy accom
paniments. They are jyar ezetutnu the
beef-producing breed, an l will probably *1-
A'it\ - itaud at tin* h- i \ ' -r t! v -
As milk producers they take aninfe.’Li;
rank, though as celebrated a breeder ui
Mr. Mark Cockrell claims that selection*
may be made that will stand a very hi. Lj
test.
The Holstein cattle are not so good for
beef as the Short*born«, nor so good for
batter as the Jersey^ though for the latiir
purposes they excel the tinort-borns and
for the former the Jerseys. It is a breed
that combine all three qualities—milk but*
ter and beef-producing—in a highly rs*
•pectable degree. The quality of the tt’f
is very high, bat not equal to the Short
horns, and the milk, though more copiers
than the Jersey, Is not so rich in cream
and butter-making properties. For the
average farmer, however, we are inclined
to the belief that the Holstein cattle wilt
take a very high rank and be immense y
popular.
