THE WESTERN RAILROAD SITUATION. TOanagersi Look fer a Steady and Healthy Improvement. Chicago, 111., December 27. With or without a president's agrooment a steady and healthy improvement in tho western railroad situation iB confidently exnected by managers from this time forward. In fact, some of them attach littlo or no importance to tho proposed scheme of the presidents arid aro inclinod to think that to put it in operation at tVis time would be useless.

Said a general manager this afternoon "What we nood is not a now association, but a supDlementary agreement to the one now in effect. Our present agreement iB good enough aB far as it goes, and all we need is an additional contract of a character that will diminish or entiroly remove the temptation to cut rates. Wo have a plan in operation for a division of traffic at southwestern Missouri river points and it is working satisfactorily. If it wero put in forco at all Missouri river points and at St. Paul and Minneapolis I believe we would have no more trouble from cut throat competition.

Let tho Wostern freight association adopt a supplementary agreement to that end. and thero will bo no need of a new association such as the Eastern bankers and railway magnates propose to givo us." After January 1 all rates between Chicago and tbo Southwest, West and Northwest will be established on a paying basis. Tho rato clerks havo been in session for two weeks revisiug tariffs, and one good indication is that nearly all the articles that have heretofore taken commodity rates are being merged into the class schedules. Tho advance in grain and flour rates between St. Paul and Chicago from 7 to 12Hi cents per 100 pounds is regarded by railroad men as one of the most important achievements of the season.

The milling in transit business of tho Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul road has kept theso rates down to a Doint that prevented the non transit lines from getting any profit out of tho traffic. That road has now consented to put the rates up and divide tho business with its competitors. The committeo appointed to report a plan for a division of tho grain and flour traffic has not yet met, but it was giyen until February to make ita report. Tho advanco rates, however, will become effective January 1, and iu the meantime the St.

Paul road will make ita transit order good over tho lines, paying them the difference between the old and tbo new rate. President V. T. Malott, of the Chicago and Western Indiana road, has callod a meoting of the stockholders to bo held here February 24 for the purpose of taking action on a number of pro posod improvements. The stockholders are the Beveral railway companies which use tho Wostern Indiana tracks and terminal facilities within tho city.

Owing to the rapid growth of the business of this road it has boen found necessary to provide additional facilities for handling the traffic. It is intended to put in additional switches and side tracks and to double track the road to the mills, shipping yards aud blast furnaces that aro steadily increasing in number in tho vicinity of the Calumet. Tho expense of making theso improvements is to be met, if the proposition is adopted, by issuing additional bonds to the amount of $1,000,000, to bo secured by the mortgage of December 1, 1882. A meeting of the stockholders of the Belt railway, of Chicago, will also be hold on tho same date for the purpose of making anew leaso with the Chicago and Western Indiana, by which tho latter will be given the use of additional property and facilities. Tho date of the next meeting of Western railroad presidents has not yet been fixed.

PreBident Miller has communicated with the other members of the advisory board for tho purpose of ascertaining what date will bo most convenient for ill, but further than this no arrangement has been made for the conference. It iB generally believed that the meoting will bo held in Chicago and not in New York, as a larger representation can bo secured here than in the east Tho Chicago and Alton will participate iu a meeting here, but will pay no attention to it if it is held iu Now York. The power and influence of tho Alton are recognized by the other companies, aud thoy are inclined to make concessions if by so doing they cau cecuro Preaideut Blaekstono's riguaturo to tho new cgreement. Nevertheless, it is said that tho eastern bankers are Btrongly in favor of having the meeting in New York. to reside.

It is said that whenever tho subject was broached he would suddenlv find it neoes oarv to leave the comDany on one pretext or an other. Ascoro of persons say they heard him confess the murder of a man and laugh at the stupidity of tho "Dutch detectives" who never auapeoted him. Two of the German members of Pinkerton's squad wero at worK on ino dcujou. weiler case for several weeks. Krulis will not talk, except through an inter preter, and is not then inclined to bo communicative.

I don't care what they do with me," he said. "I killed him and that's all there is about it." "Ask him," said the Eagle reporter to tho interpreter, "to state why he killed Croupa." "It was this way." he renlied. "We wero go ing along all right near the woods when Croupa turned on me and Bald You have got to kiu mo or I'll kill Croupa lay down in tho snow and I took out my knife and butchered him." aB there a quarrel about a womau, or about the reason for your leaving Itiverhead "No. We did not quarrel at all. He would have killed mo if 1 had not killed him." "A man lying down in tho snow could not very well kill one standing on hiu feet," suggested tho interpreter after the reporter.

"No, but ho could get up' and do it," replied Krulis. Ho would say nothing when asked' why ho cut off ihe man's ear and linger. Tho statement will not be believed. If it were true it furnished no motive for taking tho man's life. It has been ascertained that when the men left the saloon Cronpa had accepted Krulis's invitation to sleep with him at Mr.

Blasha'b house, wlirro Krulis boarded. Tho knife with which tho butchery was done is an ordinary one with two blades, the larger blade being very sharp. Krulis worked at ono timo for CharleB Foranda, who kept a saloon in Bohemiaville. Thero was a rival saloon kept by William Wekle. Ono night Krnhn walked in thero I said: "Weldo, I have come to kill you." He drew a knife from his pocket and walked toward the proprietor.

Welde leaped over the bar, armed himself with a bungstarter and knocked Krulis down the moment ho came within reach. Vaulting across the bar again ho continued to belabor the would be murderer until he became sensoloss and thon threw him out into the Btreet, where a wagon ran over him and broke one of his ribs. Thero was but one topic of conversation along tho whole South bay and that is the story of the atrocious murder narrated above. It remained for the Eagle to givo tho only correct statement of tho crime yesterday. Mingled with the serious view of the affair.the residents of Sayville are finding a laughaolo episode in the ro ports of certain evening papers which, taking Winnie for a girl's na.re and having no authen ticaccount of tho murder, mado a "Jack the Ripper" story out of whole cloth.

The name "Winnie" in the English tormis William, ana hence tho mistake. The beautiful Bohemian girl of the sensational accounts yesterday waB a young man and far from beautiful at that. 11IJILDING C0H31ITTEE BANQUET. A Pleasant Affair at the Manhattan Athletic Club. The members of the Manhattan athletic club, New York, last night, gave to G.

The recent heavy fall of snowwaa utilized this afternoon for an impromptu carnival on Pennsylvania avenue, between tho capitol and tho treasury department, participated in by nearly two hundrod sleighs of all descriptions from the elegant cutter of Senator Stanford to the dry goods box on runners drivon by a colored bootblack.

The south side of the avenuo was set apart for the sport and the city ordinances against fast driving were suspended for tho time being.

Fitzsimmons, however, appears to bo the favorite with the majority of tho bookmakers, many of whom believe Dempsey is overmatched. WANT THE POLICE FORCE TO UESIUH. MEJirnis, December 27.

SHALL FIRE IK NEW YORK. A fire last night on tho second floor of the three story tenement house 42,2 West Thirty first street, New York, occupied by Joseph Stadon, did damage of $200 to furniture, S200 to building, and $300 in hills which Mr. Stadon had stowed away were bnrned up. First Lieutenant Ogden Rafferty, assistant sur geon, has beon reliovod from duty at Fort Sam Houston. and ordered to roport to the commanding oflicer, Camp Eagle Pass, for duty at that station.

They Open Their New Club Hne With a Capital Entertainment. The new olnb house of tho Varnna boat club was formally opened last ovening and ovor five hundred members of the club and their friends gathered to witness the entertainment which had been prepared for their amusement. The large gymnasium on the upper floor of the build, ing was comfortably filled and the bouts could be witnessed from every part of the hall. The house has been occupied for aomo time, but last evening tho roomB were thrown open for the first time to tho friends of the members. The sparring included a special bont botwoen Jim Carey, of the Waverly A.

and M. Leonard, of tho Varuna boatclub. The men wero matched for a four round contest, throe minuteB each round. Tho preliminary bouts of the evening prepared tho spectators for tho contest, and one of tho best encounters ever witnessed in the amateur ring was put up by the contestants. Leonard showed evident superiority in skill, and hia many hard left liaud jabs, upper cuts and swings landed with telling effect on Carey.

In the first part of the contest Leonard rushed his mau and it soomed as if the bout would be brought to an abrupt termination. Carey was, however, game, and stood the terrific punishment for tho four rouuds, managing iu the third round to even things up a little by landing Fomo telling blows on Leonard's face and neck. Leonard, however, landed two blows to hiB opponent's ono and was given the decision by the judges, Henry Hackott, of professional sporting fame, and Sam D. See, of tho Acorn A. A.

The referee of tho contests was Al Camacho, of the Dauntless boat club. The first bout of the evening was in the 105 pound class, in which thero was three competitors, John Moore, Varuna boat club: J. O'Toole, Downtown A. C. of Now York, and J.

Walsh, of the Oriental A. C. Moore and O'Toole were the first to don the mittens. The little bantarrs started right in to put up a game fight as soon as timo was called for tho contest. Both men sparred very strong and up to tho third ronnd the points wero nearly even, Moore having a little the better of the go.

Iu tho last round Mooro started left hand jabbing and noarly had his man knocked out. Tho judges gave him tho bout amid the cheers of the audience. Matt Rice, the ex champion bantam weight of the United States, and George BurnB, of tho Peerless athletic club, of New York, were tho next to meet in tho arena. "There was only ono man in the contest," said Happy Jack Mc Masters as timo was callod for the finish of the first round. Rice was by far the cleverer and landed whenever and wherever he pleased.

BurnB mado a game fight against skill, and in tho third 'round managed to land a few blows which caused the ex champion to loso his temper. Rice was hissed for the advautago ho took of his apparently helpless opponent and once when ho rushed Burns to the ropea the audience plainly showed their opinion of this style of sparring. Rico received tho decision. An exhibition bout between Patsy Doody, of the Downtown A. and his pupil, R.

O'Toole, caused a great deal of merriment. Doody sparred in hiB old timo burlesque stylo and danced around tho ring, landing many light blows on his pupil's faco and performing tatoos on his neck and shoulders. O'Toole stood up mantu Uy for a little fellow and managed to land a few heavy blows. A special four round contest between J. Alliens, of the Nonpareil A.

C. of New York, and J. Dow dell, of tire Eagle A. C. was the next on tho list.

The go was four rounds of three min utes duration. As both men stepped to the center of the ring it was apparent that Aikens was the heavier, but what hiB opponent lacked in weight he made up in length of reach. The first part of the first round was marked by light sparring, Aikena leading and falling short. Ho made another attempt and landed a heavy rieht band jab on hia opponent's face, following it up with another very strong blow on the neck. Dowdell mado many ineffectual attempts to land on Aikens in the first round, but failed.

In tho socond round Aikens kept Jabbing out his left baud, landing every time. Dowdell, however, managed to land two heavy right hand blows on Aiken, but failed to follow up tho slight advantage ho had gained. The round ended decidedly in favor of Aikens. When time was called for the third round Dowdell was pretty weak and hia face and neck showed the effects of the blows which hia opponent had showered upon him. Aikens continued the tactics adopted the two previous rounds and by straight left hand blows kept gaining as far as points counted and managing to materially weaken hia opponent.

Dowdell lauded a few good right hand blows in this round, and although it did not change tho aspect of the contest he gained many admirers for his plucky battle. In the fourth round he was very weak and kept clinching to avoid punishment. Aikens had him all but out in tho middle of this round, but Dowdell continued the contest to the call of timo. The judges agreed on Aikens as the winner. The next bout was a four round speoial go between Joo Burke, of the Varuna boat club, and Joo Wall, of the Eagle A C.

Wall had the longer reach aud in the first round looked like a winner. Burke stuck right to hia man and landed many heavy blows. In theBOCond round he scored a clean knock down by a well directed right hand swing. Tho third round both meu continued the same stylo of lighting, with Wall showing up to better advantage. every minute.

He landed a swinging right hand blow which seemed to dazo Burke a little. Burke rallied iu a very few seconds and tried to administer a knock out blow, rushing his opponent and landing heavily on his Jaw. Burke wound up tho round by getting in a left hand blow on his opponent's face. The judges gave tho decision to Burke. The final bout of the 105 pound class was be.

tween R. O'Toole, of the Dowu Town A. and J. Moore, of the Varuna boat club. Mooro had tho advantage of hiB opponent in reach aud he used it to good advantage throughout.

He landed frequently on hiB opponent's faco aud neck and got away without receiving a return. O'Toole depended on meeting Moore with a straight left handed blow, and following it up with a swinging right arm blow. In the first round he rushed Moore aud gave him a pretty hard drubbing, but the Varuna mau, by clever work, managed to evade punishment. In the second round Moore rushed O'Toole four times, each time landing with his left full in hiB opponents faco, who countered very heavily once or twics. Tho last round of tho contest was rather tame as compared with the previous sparring that had been done by the competitors.

The judges failed to agree on a winner and the referee awarded tho bout to Moore amid a mingled storm of cheers and hisses. Tho final bout of the evening was betweeu.Jim Carey, of the Waverly A. and M. Leonard, of theVaruua boatcluj). Both men weighed in at 125 poundB, and the agreement was for a four round goof three minutes each.

The contestants had been training for tho contest, and when Leonard Jumped into ring followed by happy Jack McMasters, he was received with a good round of applause. Carey followed soon after, and was cheered by many of his admirers and clubmates. The excitement was intense as both men Btepped to the center of tho ring and shook hands. Leonard appeared to be a little heavier, but his Opponent wasstocky and apnoared game every inch of him. As soon as time was called Leonard started to.ruah and succeeded iu lauding a few ineffectual blows in the first part of the round.

But ho, soon got down to right hard work, and tho way in which he landed straight loft baud blows, right upper cuts and half arm jabs was a caution. Carey did not seem to be able to meet Leonard at this part of the contest aud the Varuna man landed about where he pleased. Leonard's hurrieano stylo of sparring surprised everyone aud his rushes seemed to be irresistible, The third round wa3 marked by as hard sparring as ever was witnessed in the amateur ring. Leonard landed an upper cut ou his opponent's eye which caused a decided swelling, and before tho round was finished his face was completely covered with blood. Ho came up at the call for the fourth round very strong, whilo Carey appeared a littlo weak.

He fouBhtsamely.however, throughout the contest and were it not for the evident physical superiority of Leonard he might have won tho contest. He landed a number of straight arm blows in the last round aud evened matters up a little bit. Leonard 'kept landing heavy blows on Carey's damaged optic, and before timo was called had it entirely closed. His face aud neck wero badly bruised, and at tho close of iho fourth round ho appeared very weak from tho effects of the sledgo hammer blows which had been rained upon him. The judges very justly gave the decision and the prize to Leonard.

The officials of the evoning wero Howard Hackott and Sam See, of the Acorn A'. C. The referee was Al Camaoho and the timekeeper Bob Stoll, of the New York A. C. The annouueer was Fred Burns, of the National A.

C. The First Batch Received by a Brooklyn Physician. Dr. George U. Hopkins Has It in His 0ft1ce on Washington Avenue He Will Inoculate His First Patient To morrow Brought From Berlin by a Patient Who Was Cured by Dr.

Koch. Dr. Georgo G. Hopkins, of Washington avenue, has received one gramme of Dr. Koch's lymph.

Ho is the first Brooklyn phyaioian to procure any of the precious stuff. The quantity now in his possession is sufficient for 300 inoonlationB. It was pent to him by a friend in Berlin, a prominent practicing physician who ia on intimate terms with Dr. Koch. The man who delivered tho lymph to Dr.

Hopkins was a patient under Dr. Kooh in Berlin. He lives in a Western state and is now on his. way homo. He went to Germany suffering with a riBro oase of tubeculoaia.

He returned enred. In tradition to the gramme of lymph, thia patient broueH him one of the syringes used by Dr. self. It ia now in Dr. HonkinB' office.

An Eaole reporter called on Dr. Hoplffm evening and asked him how he intended to I ceed in tho use of the lymph. "I begin operations to morrow," said the doctor. "I have taken a deep interest in Dr. loeh'g discovery from, tho first and have etadioa tho development of at least forty cases which have resulted favoiably since it waB introduced in this country.

I have faith in the lymph. Ono ease of lupus which I saw, whero the sore was 4x8 inches inextont.was cured with ton and I have soen several other equally wonderful curei cannot give my first pationt'a name. He asked that! should not. The first injection will be administered to morrow at hia house. I will continne with one injection a day, unless the patient's temperature goes up too far.

The temperature and pulio will bo taken every two hours. If the temperature does riio too high the inlocX tious will be omitted for a day or so until thv reaction sets in. This reactiou is really tlie desired canditiou. There are several other patients waiting, whom I will use the injections on as soon aa I cau get time. I will, of courae, have to practice economy with the lymph, as ono gramme will go a comparatively short way.

I think, however, will get more beforo very long. It is vory hard to get now, as bo many physicians are after it, but I am confidant that if thero is any to be had my friend in Berlin can procure it. If he gets moro he will send mo another package and I havo good reason to behove ho will succeed in doing this." "But how about tho story to tho effect that tho. lymph is to be used hospitals only?" as 1 got it irom a private Kjurca, ana from Dr. Koch, thero are no rtostriotipns tol me.

1 got tbo lymph to use it as" think best. I intend to givo the injections at tho houses of my patlthts. They will remain in bed until tho nnjectionB are stopped. As yet I havo told Jvefcr fow persona about having tho lymph, vr rtf My prospeot of ettiug it. Now that it haa leawetTout, I will un aouotcuiy nave more applicanua tnn JL can possl bly attend to.

I will do the bW lean, howovel and am confident that much good oan bo don with oven thia small amonnt." XOT AFUUD OF SUITS.

jfcwith Kochmim )rlm 4 Louis Heberlein Burned to Death Last Night. An Aeed Paralytic Meets a Terrtblo Fate Which He Was Powerless to Avert A Lamp Exploded in His Room. Louis Hoberlain, an aged German, met with a horrible death last evening. Heborlein lived with his wife and 14 yoar old daughter in apartments on tho second floor of the houso at 647 Hicks street. Several years ago he was stricken with paralysis, and sinco then he has boen confined to hia bed most of hia time.

At 0 o'clock last evening he got up out of bed and took a seat in an armchair. His daughter brought him a pipo of tobacco and the old man sat down and enjoyed a quiet smoke. The girl left the room and ten minutes later heard her father cry for help. She ran into his Bleeping room and found the place on fire. Thoroughly scared and without waiting to helD her aged parent, she ran from tho houso to tho barber shop next door, where her brother, Louis Heberlein, is employed and told him what had happened.

The young man dropped the razor he was using and rnshed upstairs to hia father's apartments. He fonght hia way through the smoke to his father's side and raised, or rather dragged, him into the hallway. He was too late, however. Heberlein had been suffocated by the smoke, and tho only thing that the young man could do was to drag his father's corpse iuto tho open air and savo it from being bnrned up. An alarm of fire was hnr riedly sent out, and the department responded and soon pat an end to any dangor of a conflagration.

An Eagle reporter called at Heberlein's residence and learned that while tbo old man was smoking his pipe a kerosene lamp was burning on tho mantel in his room. Whon the son reached tho room there was no light burning and tho theory is that the lamp exploded and set fire to tho apartments. CONSUL 1R FRAUDS IN CANADA. An Extensive Syn(nu of Cheating ttao Revenue Suspected. Washinoton, D.

December 27. Acting on information from the treasury department to the effect that irregularities wero suspected in the consular authentication of Canadian goods imported into tho United StatoB during the past twelve months, the secretary of state recently determined upon a thorough investigation of the United States consular sorvlco in tho Dominion of Canada. He selected Dr. Sinclair, chief of the consular bureau of the Btate department, for the purpose, and at his suggestion Special Agent Whitehead, of tho treasury department, was detailed to assist him. These two gentlemen have just completed their investigation, and are now engaged in tho preparation of their reports to the respective departments.

While it is lmpoisiblo to obtain an official acknowledgment to that effect, it is understood that extensive frauda were discovered in the shape of systematic undervaluation by consignors and in the wholesale collection of illegal fees by the consular officers. The amount of money involved in the transactions is said to be very large, but the exact sum cannot now be ascertained. Secretary Windom and Assistant Secretary Spaulding, of tho treasury department, and Assistant Socretary Wharton, of the state department, were questioned on the subjoot to night, but each declined to commit himself in advance of tho official reports. It waB admitted that irregularities were supposed to exist and that the eonsnlar system had been investigated.

Colonel Pope, United States consul hero, said to day in reference to a Washington dispatch al ledging that American consuls iu Ontario had defrauded the United States out of a million dollars: "I think it is nothing moro than a mare'B nest. Tho accounts of all tho consulates aro inspected by tho treasury department and I do not see how fraud could go on without being disoovered. There may be such a thing as petty dishonesty by some of the smaller agencies, but I think that $1,000,000 could be figured down to about $100.

I know of ono instance only where a fraud has been committed, and the Bum was only about $100. Some of tho principal consulates havo fivo or six agencies in their district. I have only one in mine, which is at Whitby. I do not for a moment think that the agent thero is dishonest, in fact I believe him thoroughly honorable." TRAGEDY IV MISSISSIPPI.

A Great Tarn Oat on All the Driveways and on the Ocean Boulevard Fast Horses Speed Over the Snow Scenes and Incidents Some of the Drivers. Through tho various drives of Prospeot park and along the Ocean parkway to Coney Island morry sleigh bells Jingled and merry laughter resounded throughout yesterday afternoon and last night. Sleighing was good, and because it has been a rare thing in recent years to have more than a few days' good sleighing, a great many people took advantage of the snow, determined that, should thero be no more sleighing this season, they would have had at least ono day's sport on runners. Michael F. Diuninger, who had his bay mare Bella spinning along at a 2:50 gait, said to an Eaole reporter: "My sleigh bad beon hung up in a loft for two years until this morning.

I came ont early to day and I am not going to leave the road until late to night. Sleighing is somewhat of a novelty of late years and I intend to get all I can of it to day." Mr. Dinniugor had many to follow his example, for tho great throng on the boulevard increased with each hour. Now arrivals wero constantly appearing, and thoso who had como earlier seemed determined to stay. Tho result was a great parado of all grades of horses and all styles of sleighs.

There wero trotters of fame and grocers' nags, fat family sorrels and Blook sportsmen's speeders, sleighs of most exquisite design, hid in buffalo robes, from which gorgeously attired belles of fashion poepod, and pine boxes on runners, in which wero crowded merry partios of boys aud girls, who had as much fuu aa, if not mure than, their wealthier companions in winter sport. It was a fitting ending to Christmas week and a joyful closing of the old year. Everyone from the Lincoln monument, at the entrance to Prospect nark, to the Coney Island shoro seemed to have set aside ali sorrow and to have devoted themselves to sport. But thero was one shade of sorrow on that great avenue ot pleasure. Pete" Kavenhall'a old road house was oloKod and a bunch of crape hung on tho door.

John H. Phillips, the popular landlord, had diod tho night before, and many a aloigh load of laughing men and women which was to have been emptiod at that door waB driven slowly away, the laughter having suddenly ceaBed when the emblem of doith was discovered. One of the handsomest rigs on tho boulevard was that of Max Cook. Ho drove Jerry and Dan, a spinkiug team, and sat in tho sleigh which took tho first prize at tho American institute fair two years ago and was until recently owned by Theodore Stewart. George Colter and Gone Hauck, behind Van Cloth and Mohican, a teard that has a 2:30 record, gave Cook a good brush from the park to Brettoll's.

James Shcvlin was just behind them, driving a pair of bays, and next in tho procession was Henry Hamilton and a pair of grays. Con. Lay ton jogged along at an caBy gait, drawn by a black horse. Jimmy McLaughlin, the jockey, drove up and down tho road behind a bay horse.

Ho has spent most of hiB timo on the boulevard and ho said ho gets more pleasure out of driving than following tho races. Jockey George Taylor, who had a good gray paeer, gave McLaughlin a brush and John Biog gave his bay horse, George, free rain, following tho jockeys. John Webber, with a team of blacks, and Jule Dressel, with a pair of bays, spun along together. Dr. Bryant's brown horse, Onward.was said to be ono of the best on the road.

Low Smith's black horse, Music, made things lively for Onward, and John Valentine's cheBtnut mara, Novelty, mado MuBic play a lively tune with her hoofs.

Smith, Charles Peed, proprietor of the Pierrepout house: John FieldB, George Lawrence, Sim Hoagland, Warren and John Silsbee, and Dick Barry. The snow was soft during the afternoon but it was well packed at night, and then some neat speeding was done. Hotelkeepers were happy.

There was a dinner at Shaughuessy's Park hotel in tho evening. G. H. JoDpert entertained a great many people at his unique cottage where Harry Spier, the well known pianist and singer of this city, was the principal attraction. Judge McMahon's house was as usual one of the chief points of attraction for lie owners of fast horses.

There was a large party thero throughout the day and night. Hiram Howe's house is still very popular. His widow Beems to tako naturally to the conducting of the house mado famous by her late husband. She is ably assisted by Albert Pease, a nephew of tho late landlord. Peaso is not four feet tall and weighs but forty pounds, but he has a great head and he is away up on horse talk.

His big diamond stud sets well on his little shirt front, and his big double gold watch chain gives him the air of a veteran landlord. He spent eighteen years under Hiram Howe and he thoroughly understands his business. Brettell's is still the same quiet, old fashioned place it waB last snow, aud thither the old timers hied them for a good hot mixture and a chat over old times. At Brown's, next door, tho more fashionable riga stopped. Within was a lively scene.

Dancing was the feature of the oveuing in the parlor, while tho Binokingroom held many men until long after the moon had disappeared. With night there appeared on the road big stage sleighs loaded with young people who were packed in straw and who were very jolly and in. clined to Bing. Tho night was mild and the snow clouds that had appeared in tho early evening were blown away. The moon lighted up the Hat country through which the boulevard runs showing distinctly the hundreds of sleighs that were constantly spinning along.

It was a fairy scene. Thu road was lined with all sorts of rigs on runners. A more perfect sleighing night could scarcely be hoped for. Tho snow that had been soft in the afternoon had become well packed and a light frost hardened it. The carnival was still continued at midnight and tho first nicht's snow of this season had many features which will definitely fix it in tho minds of those who participated in tho big parade of last night IDENTIFIED THE DEAD 1116 II WAY SI AX.

Young Winnie Croupa Butchered by Frank Krulls A Crime of Unparalleled Atrocity in Lontr. Island Annals He Carried the Boy's Fingers in His Pockets. The arcadian littlo settlement of Bohemia, Which lies three tailea north of Sayvillo, on the road to Lake Ronkonkoma, was thrown into a palpitation of horror Friday night last by a murder in its midst which equals in all its details the masterpieces of Jesse Pomeroy.

The murderer had the abnormal lore of crime which characterized this fiend among criminals and lacked only his intellectuality in the atrocity of the deed committed. Frank Krulis, a short statnred though powerfully built yonnjj man of 24, a Bohemian by birth, went walking Friday evening with his friend, Winnie Cronna, alHo a young Bohemian, three years his junior. Their walk in crossing from one main street to another, lay over a byway through the wood on what was called tho corduroy road; On the loveliest part of this byway Krulis deliberately killed his companion and then horribly mutilated his body. Bohemia ii a unique collection of some thirty five or forty frame houses ot the poorer sort all clustered together alomr the main road. The grounds about the houses aro neat.

There is not the 'slizhtcst indication of Bhiftiessness anywhere. The occupants of these honses are all from Bohemia, and love the name. Tug men work at cigar making and upon the estates in the vicinity and the women work the small farms. 'The Battlement is noted for its quietness and good order. The murder was committed with a fiendishness unparalleled in the criminal history of Loin: Island.

The younir man's abdomen was ripped open, and the intestines pulled out and laid over his face. One of the fingers, the third, was cut off and also one of the ears, and the severed memberB Krulm carried around in his vest pocket. Winnie Croupa, the murdered nun, was 21 years old. His parents reside in Bohomiaville. where he wa6 born.

Ho worked as a farm laborer for W. Bayard Cuttinff, at Oakdale, and had been home at Bohemiaville to Bpend Christmas with hiB parents. Krulis and Cronpa, from what can be learned, met early in the day on Christ masand Btartedoff together for a sociable timo. On Friday they met again in Nohowee's saloon and had several drink. They seemed to bo on the best of terms.

Thoy left the saloon together at 8 o'clock to walk home and the crime must have been committed within fifteen minutes afterward. Croupa was kind to his parents and oave them his wages, which supported them. Krnlis disappeared from Bohemiaville some three months ago and the residents were glad of it. On the least provocation ho would pull a knife and threaten death to whoever crossed his path. Five weeks aso ho returned to the settle ment and said he had been working at his trade that of a cigarmaker at.Itiverhead.

At about tho same time the statoment appeared in a Suf folk county paper that Krulis bad left Riverhead suddenly to escape arrest for threatening to take the life of the womau in whose house he lodged. Croupa had read this statement and he taunted Krulis with it in a jesting way on Christmas day, adding that an oflicer was coming to arrest him some day. Krulis, when Croupa was not there, said to those in the barroom that the barge was false and he would be revenged on Croupa. ThiB is regarded by the authorities as furnishing a motive for tho crime. Krulis, tho murderer, is a powerfully built fellow and weighs about 100 pouuda.

He is about three years older than Croupa, but tho latter was a little the larger man, and when sober is said to liavo been more than a match for the man who so brutally and with such premeditation took his life. It has been said by the Bohemians (who heard Krulis talk that there wa3 a girl iu tho case. She came to Islip soon after Krulis' arrival in Bohemia and Croupa is supposed to have got acquainted with her there. No one knows anything about Krulis' antecedents. The young men met af tor work on Friday mailt and went into one or two of tho drinking places, of which there aro several in Bohemia.

Then Krulis led his victim to the lonely piece of wood. Tho rays of the moon scarcely penetrated through the gathering clouds. The white snow made figures fairly distinct in the distance, A few lights woro visible, shining from tho windows tbe humble cottages here and there discernible through tho baro branches of tho trees. Krulis made an excuse to step behind his companion, who walked on unconscious of the deed of which he waB to bo the victim. Kruliaook a heavy black handled pooket knife from his pocket and opened the blade, which was fully two inches and a half long.

Ho then stepped quickly forward in front of Croupa, faced him, and plunged the knife into his nock. Tho blood spurted in a stream coloring the weapon and the snow. Crouna fell without a word to the ground. His body trembled and then was still. The murderer knelt beside the dying man and watched the blood flowing from the wound.

Croupa was gasping in his death agony. Krulis got up and walked away a few paces and hesitated. Supposing Croupa should not be dead, he might cry out. and that would be horrible for his murderer. Krulis retraced his Bteps to make a final end to the miserable wretch.

The sight of his victim was too much. Krulis became fired with a horrible thirst for blood. He raised tho knife and plunged it time after timo into the entrails of Croupa. Then he took tho flesh and strewed it on the dead man's face and body. Not satiffied with that, he cut off his left ear and put it in his own pocket.

He then cnt off the index linger of Croupa's right hand. Ho cut his throat from ear to ear and flashed the face. Thoroughly satisfied with the atrocity of his deed Krnlis sat for a time by tho side of the mutilated corpse. Then hs gathered himself together and walked a half mile into the the settlement. Krulis came to the wayside tavern and drinking place kept by Wild, and known on the country Bide as Wildses.

He went up to the bar, laid the finger doivu before the barkeeper, and said: "I have killed Croupa. See, here is his finger. The man behind the bar thought the young man was drunk and raised a bottlo at him, threateningly. "Get out of here, you drunken idot." Krulis took up the finger and departed. The next place tho murderer visited was the house of Joo Sliasok, the constable of Bohemia.

Ho came in unconcernedly about 9 o'clock, laid down tho finger and said: "I have killed Winnio Croupa. If you don't believe me there is the finger." Constable Shasek repliel, "Aro you fooling The reply came, "No, I am in earnest." Shasek, though almost overcome with horror at the calm recital of such a deed, took instant measures to find out tho truth of the matter. Tho officer handcuffed Krulis and tied him to a table by his legs. Then Suasck went out and got four neighbors, Louis Koliskv, John Hocker, John Nohowec and Michael Couba. Still handcuffed, tho prisoner bxl the way to the scene of the crime, whero tho fearfully mutilated body was found JyiDg across the road.

When all had arrived and the group stood, sick at heart, looking at the ghastly spectacle.tho constable asked: "Krulis, why did you do this The prisoner had been entirely unaffected by the sight. Not a tremor stirred his stoical frame. "Croupa said I ran away from Kivnrhead and the constablo was after me. So I took my knife out and cut his throat. Croupa never spoke afterward, bo I cut his belly open and pulled his bowels out and threw them over his head." This was his only reply.

Krulis was taken back to the little brick lockup at Sayville and confined there over night. Saturday morning, when tho prisoner was searched, the left ear of Croupa, a blood stained handkerchief, the deadly Jackkuife, clotted with blood, and some pieces of tobacco, were found in Krulis' pocket. The murderer was brought before Justice O'Brien, who took the testimony of the constable. Upon this ho was ordered committed without bail to tho Suffolk county jail at Itiverhead, whence he went in the company of Constables Cook and Shasek, at last evening. Coroner Bennett, of Patchogue, impaneled a iury and visited tho sceno of the murder last evening.

The inquest will bo held to morrow. The body of the murdered mau now lies In his mother's home, and tho old mother is nearly frantic with grief. Krulis has been in this country about eight years. 116 was living in Breslau whon the Schied woilers. husband and wife, were married.

That dreadful crime, in the manner of its perpetration, was not unlike the killing of Croupa. Mrs. Kchiodweiler's ears were cut off and Mr. Scbied woiler's noso was cut off. It was after the double tragody had been writton down in tho books as a crime, becauso the perpetrator could RAFFLGB FOR A ROAD HOUSE.

William II. 'JTuaius' Place DUposcd of by Caaucc, A road house was raffled last night, and many sporta and horsemen who went down the road in sleighs stopped to see this peculiar ending of tho famous house on the Ocean boulevaid over which the popular Billy Thorns presided for several years. William H. Thorns died throe weeka ago, leaving four young children without means of support. Hia road Iioubo at Parkvillo had earned a good living for the family so loug as Billy presided over it, but when ho diod it was no longer of benefit to his orphaned children, and it was decided that it Bhould bo raffled for thoir benefit.

Arrangements to dispose of tho place were mado by a committeo composed of Captain Edgetts, Georgo Bader, William Burroughs, Joseph Palmor, William Winchester, Judge William H. Mcllahon and H. M. Crotty. Tickots wero sold at each and $1,000 worth were disposed of.

Dice wero thrown by the purchasers of tho tickets last night and Martin Sinnott, having thrown tho highest, won the place. Sinnott is a popular blacksmith of Parkville and ho proved himself to bo such a village blacksmith aB Longfellow loved to sing about He had known Billy Thoma to bo a thorough man, who was alwayB one of the first to reapond when any work of charity waa on foot. So Sinnott, tho blacksmith of Parkville, Baid he'd never shoe another horse if ho'd take Billy's place from his children for a $5 bill. He bad no uso for the place anyhow, as he would rather bo a blacksmith than anything else. He therefore sold the place at auction for the benefit of the children.

Frederick Keets bought it for $385, which money Sinnott turned ovor to Thorns' chiidrou. A sleigh, which II. M. Crotty had donated to tho childron, was alao raffled. The sleigh raffle brought $700.

So the children received nearly $2,000 to start them in life. Thorns came from Now England eighteen years ago to enter tho service of Colonel Sanford on his stock farm. He broke and trained all tho famous Peacemaker colts, ono of which General Grant purchased for $10,000. Thorns opened his road house twelve years ago. Ho entertained many prominont men there.

He died penniless, because anyone who was iu need could always get assistance from hi in. A RAILROAD CHANGES HANDS. Atlanta, December 27.
