Terrible Confession la Followed by Ih« Chicago Tribune Snyi the Charges Against Voorhees Are True. Riadiwp, Fa., May 4.—August Ziegel, a Herman, aged 80, came from New York to Lynn port last year, where he began living alone. Ziegel waa always morose and melancholy. Last week he visited New York, and when he returned he waa more downhearted than ever. Before he went to New York be called on his nearest neighbors, Daniel Sohroer and #ife, and to Mrs. Bcbroer be oonfeaaed that three years ago he had watched a man in New York on pay day, followed him, knocked him down, cut hia throat, robbed hia pockets of $50, and threw Us body in the river and escaped. Since then he could not rest. Something seemed to draw him to the spot where the murder was committed. He said he oould live no longer in peace. As yet the name of the murdered man has not been given. Late Wednesday Mrs. Schroer went into her hay mow to hunt eggs, and she there discovered the dead body of Ziegel, with his hat on, hanging to the rafters. The confession and suicide have created a great sensation. Self Destruction.

Loads the Opposition. Trknton, N. J., May 3.—New Jersey Democrats spoke yesterday for Cleveland and reduction of the tariff. Thp contest of United States Senator Blcdgett for a place among the delegates to St. Louis failed to develop into the important atruggle expecte l. Ex- Assemblyman Pintard, of Monmouth, who was Senator Blodgett's spokesman on the floor, spoke for a burying of past issues between the two present factions of the New Jersey Democracy. During Mr. Pintard's speech occurred the only real disorder of the day. New York, May 4.—Discussion of the committee report debarring the women who have been accredited as delegates to the Methodist general conference from taking their seats formed the gist of yesterday morning's session of the conference at the Metropolitan opera house. The conference report on the joint resolution accepting the invitation of the French government to participate in the Paris Exposition was adopted. The house then went Into committee of the rhole on the tariff bill, and Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, took the floor in advocacy of the bill He started out with the assertion that tho bill was an effort of the people to recover the right to tax themselves. Twentyfive years of protection have so entrenched private interests in the tariff that thpy regard it as their exclusive domain, and resent the intrusions of the people as those of trespassers. He said that while our tariff rates were running up from 18 to 48 per cent during the war, and immediately thereafter, every interest that wished to becAne a parasite upon the people was permitted to dictate its own terms, and those terms still remained. Tba so-called revision of 1883 soon turned into a struggle between the captains of industry for an increase of their bounties, and was Anally thrown into a secret conference where higher rates were given than either house had dared to vote in public, and was then hurried through congress without being sifted or read. Bishop Andrews presided. Elder Dearborn, of Topeka, Kan., conducted the opening devotional exercises, after which the arrival of Bishop Ninde, of Kansas, who had" not come at the opening of the conference, was announced. Dr. Trimble, of Ohio; Dr. Lusk, secretary of the Freeman's Aid society, and Dr. Hunt, secretary of the Bible society, were, upon motion, invited to take seats upon the platform. Another Prodigious Sham. A Tramp Peddler Who Was Rich. For "stoeet charity's sake" cover* another prodigious sham. If a woman desires to become a shining light in society charity is made the ladder for ■uch an ambition. Bhe finds the poor orphans and the nameless women and children very interesting and pitiful, aad offers her services and her dollars for their relief. The patrons of the institution find her assistance useful. By and by, through such companionship, madam's name is added to their visiting list. It was a woman of this kind—aa arrogant, unconventional, and tastelas* person, who, after earning her own bread, became the wife of a millionaire and edged herself into society through various charities—that snubbed a young author in her own house, who had gone there by invitation to read or recite. The occasion was for a charity. The poor fellow's shoes were dusty and "his clothing of an unfashionable Cut, so madam, not being acquainted with literary folk, eyed the young man with distrust and asked him to take a back seat. Ah! who of us can forget how his eyes fairly flamed and his cheeks burned when he was called farward to recite "Misunderstood," a genu* Ine touching little poem of his own.— Brooklyn Eagle. Aixentown, Pa., May 4.—Two weeks ago Charles Weideman, a tramp and peddler about 70 years of age, came to the Lehigh county poor house suffering from fever caused by a wound in his leg. The fever proved fatal and Weideman was buried at Cedarville. His pack was searched and certificates were found denoting that Weideman has deposited a $500 Iowa barb mill bond and ItiOO in Adelaide silk mill in the Second National bank of this city, $2,300 in Adelaide Silk mill bonds, an Iowa barb wire mill bond of the value of $500, a Judgment note for $1,500, given by Weinscheiiner & Newhard, leading merchants of this city, who failed a month ago, and $13,000 of Reading and Columbia bonds, were also found. Weideman was a native of Germany and is not known to h'Mi any relatives in America or in the old twntry. His estate will probably revert to the state. The convention defeated Senator lilodgett by a large majority in his candidacy for delegate at large. The successful candidates were ex-Governor .Leon Abbett, Governor Robert 8. Green, Moses Bigo.ow and Senator Philip P. Baker. In tbe last (lays of our Lord's earthly life, less than three days before his crucifixion, he parts the veil which separates from the great future, and by a wonderfully interesting pioture of the final judgment unfolds to us Lis kingly and judicial character and glory, and how he will exercise judgment upon all the nations of the earth and upon all the generations of men. He shows that men will be judged by the view they take of him and the conduct of men toward his followers because they are his followers. His sentence introduces a separation which must bring the earth itself, in its form, to an end The good are received into the kingdom of his father and the wicked are cast into hell. This presupposes the general resurrection and forms the conclusion of the Lord's coming and paroasia in this present state of things. V. 8L Within less than two days of* his crucifixion he fitly sets forth the glory of his triumph. He looked beyond the cross. He had never said so much until be was about to suffer. His foresight was more than human; it was divineL It was stated that one of the woman delegates had attempted to take her seat, but had been denied admission to the floor. While a standing vote upon Dr. Read's motion for the order of the day was being counted, Mrs. Mary C. Mind, of Minnesota, endeavored to ose the right she claims, but her vote was not counted. The addresses of the speakers were listened to with profound attention and evoked frequent applause. The district delegates are George Pfelffer, Jobs Summerill, G. D. W. Vroom, Isaac H. Adams, Millard F. Ross, Thomas N. McCorinaok, Nelson Pidcock, Johnson Cornish, William B. Gonrley, Samuel B. Taylor, William Harrlgau, George A. Hartford, Edward F. C. Young, Peter Hauck. "The correspondence of J. J. Bingham, who aska you 'if you think the south has resources enough to keep the Union forces at bay,' and says that you 'must havo sources of information which he has not,1 was in the office where these papers were found. And yet I cheerfully accept your denial aud so respond, as you request, 'that the people may know the truth.' "Henry B. Carrinqton." The letter concludes as follows: i'Lu Rev. Dr. j. H.* Ports, editor of The Michigan Advocate, spoke first and in favor of the admission of the women delegates. Two-thirds of the church members are women, and they should have a voice in its government, he maintained. "I am deaf," he concluded, after a glowing tribute to the fair sex, "but I would be stricken dumb rather than this tongue of mine should utter one /ord against the admission of women." The applause which greeted the remarks of dr. Potts was long and vehement, and Rev. William Bush, of Dakota, and Rev. Theodore F. Flood, editor of The Cbautauquan, who followed with earnest arguments on the same side of the question, elicited similar evidences of approval. READ OUT OF THE PARTY. Provldonoe Journal no Longer a ltepnb- llean Organ—Kltode Island Convention. Providing!, May 3.—The Republican state and the two district conventions for the cboio* of delegates to the national convention in Chicago, in June, were held in the Providence Opera house. The names of the four delegates at large were acted upon separately, «nd two of the nominations wera contested, but all were elected, as follows: Mr. Wilson claimed that all the reductions that had been made were those affecting property, and had thrown the burdens on those least able to bear them. Protection acted on the rule of the Ohio politician—to claim everything. He declared that protection had no more to do with the present prosperity of the country than it had to do with the planets or tides. But those things for which it is responsible it studiously ignoVee. It says nothing of the growing antagonism of capital and labor, of the twenty thousand strikes and the twenty hundred lockouts in the past nix years; the long industrial depressions; the building up of great wealth by favoritism, which in order to retain ite privileges was ever ready to corrupt the ballot box and intimidate voters, the rapid centralization of manufactures in a few great corporations, and their recent fusing into formidable trusts. Whirled to Death In a Fly Wheel. Columbus, O., May 4.—A horrible accident occurred at the Ohio state prison yesterday afternoon, which caused Frederick Beidel, a three-year prisoner, his life. Seidel was employed as engineer, and had charge of the ponderous engine which furnishes power for Patton's foundry. At the time of the accideut he was alone in the eugine room. The foreman of the machine rooms noticed something jerky in the running of the machinery, and went to the engine room, where he found part of Seidel's body in the great fly wheel pit, and other parts scattered about the room. The fly wheel revolved very cloee to a brick wall Between them there was ample-room for a man to stand, but to do so was very dangerous when the engine was running. Seidel would frequently stand in this perilous position, although often cautioned not to do so. It is supposed he was caught in the wheel and dashed to pieces. Result of the Jackson Tragedy. Jackson, Miss., May 4.—Since the tragedy of last Tuesday much excitement has prevailed here. Business has been almost entirely suspended and the streets deserted. The funeral services over Editor Martin were largely attended. The body was taken to Brookhaven, bis birthplace, for interment. Gen. West Adams' funeral was the largest seen here for years. Governor Lowrey, Col. Jones, and S. Hamilton, who killed Gambrell a year ago, were among the pall bearers. Messages of condolence have been sent to the families of both men, and the friends of each are making sundry threats of violence, but no trouble has resulted as yet. The following resolution was adopted The word "when" points to a definite occasion, namely, in connection with his second coming. When now speaking he was in a state of humiliation, a man, poor, despised, unknown, rejected and to be crucified. But, looking forward, be spoke of coming "in his glory," in his own true nature, divine, honored and worshiped as King of kings. Now he was about being elevated on a cross, then be would ascend "the throne of his glory," sharing the glory with "the ancient of days." Instead of a few humble followers as now, he then would have anlmmens»Tetinueof "holy angels with him." Seated on his throne implies his complete victory. The contrasts are striking. Now in the position of a prisoner before earthly judges, then he would be a king and judge; now the cross, than the crown; now in shame, then in glory; now the conflict, then the triumph; now the judged, then the judge of all. "We deem it expedient at this time to put on reoord the fact that the newspapers published by The Providence Journal company have long ceased to represent the Republican party of this state. They have factiously opposed wise and well considered acts CJ legislation which were devised in the councils of -the party, and have been approved by the consent of the people; they have wantonly misrepresented the acts and the motives of honorable gentlemen by whom those laws have been conscientiously and laboriously framed; they have, without either justification or excuse, charged upon the party a selfish and corrupt use of the elective franchise; they have falsely and malioioualy traduced the good name of the state; they have betrayed the paAy which they professed to support, and they have forfeited all claim to public confidence." The opposition was led yesterday by Dr. J. H. Buckley, editor of The Christian Advocate. He gave as his text, "The enemy cometh in like a flood, but I will lift up a standard against him," and maintained that the question was one of principle. Dr. Buckley's strong point was a quotation from a letter of Senator Edmunds, which stated that no officer of an executive body can decide a question relating to the admission of delegates who were cballeged, but that the body must decide itself as to the admission of such delegates. His own position, he said, was one of opposition to the admission of women as delegates until the members of their sex had an opportunity to express their opinion on the subject. The question was a grave one in the history of the Methodist church, and the doctor closed with an earnest appeal in favor of the adoption of the committee's report. Reformed Churoh Elections, Tiffin, O., May 8.—At a special sessioa of the Ohio synod of the Reformed church In the United States, held in this city, Rev. Br. Van Horne, of the First Reformed church, Philadelphia, was elected to the chair of dugma tic theology in Heidelberg seminary, ami a new professorship, Hebrew and Old Testament theology, created and endowed, to which Professor A. S. Serbe, Ph. D., of thia city, was chosen. Editor Dllley Is in Salt Lake City. Continuing, Mr. Wilson stated that the tariff did not regulate the price of labor, and having contrasted the prices paid in the same line of employment, he said that the contrast showed that a man in Maine was worth only two-thirds a man in Connecticut. Wilkesbakbk. Pa., May 4. —Anotherletter has been'received from Editor B. Fred Dilley, of the Wyoming Valley Times, who recently disappeared so mysteriously. This letter is dated from Salt Lake city, hundreds of miles from the place where he last wrote. His family refuse to show the letter or state its contents, except to say his health is good and that he intends coming home. His many friends are more surprised than ever on account of this, and have now come to the conclusion that the man is insane. It may be found necessary to send some one west to bring him home. — Four Jurors to Try Kerr. The Edgar Thomson Strike Off. New York, May 4.—Pour jurors were ob) tained in the Kerr boodle trial yesterduyv Bourke Cockran, for the defenso, made ■ vigorous protest against a World editorial la which Kerr's guilt is assumed and the hups expressed that he will be convicted. Mr. Cockran said if these newspaper attaokA could not be stopped he would again ask for a change of venue. Pittsburg, May 4.—Master Workman Doyle has declared the strike at the Edgar Thomson steel works at an end. A meeting of the strikers was called to take final action in the matter. Mr. Boutelle (of Maine)—What are the wages of farm laborers in West Virginia. V. 82. The assembly at the judgment seem, to include all mankind; the "nations" representing all peoples of all climes and regions. The lesson presupposes the universal nominal Christianization of the world. The delegates are practically a unit for Blaine, but will be guided by the action of any pivotal state. It is believed, however, that sooner or later Rhode Island's delegation will be found voting for Blaine. Mr. Wilson—They are not as high as they would be with protection off. Braddock, Pa., May 4—The foreman in the rail mill of the Edgar Thomson steel works reports over 400 Knights of Labor at work in his department, and that more men are applying for situations than can be accommodated. Everything in and about Braddock has assumed its former prosperous appearance. The Pinkerton guards expect to be called off in a few days. Furnace B is out of blast for repairs, but will be put into service on Monday. Father Hickey denies absolutely that he is to be transferred on account of his participation in the labor troubles. His denial is also substantiated by Bishops Tuigg and Phelan. Mr. Boutelle wanted a candid reply, or wanted the gentleman to retreat ignominlously.Pennsylvania Prohibitionists. Mr. Wilson replied, amid laughter and applause: "I cannot yield for a speech, but I accept the gentleman as a full explanation why a man in Maine is worth only two-thirds a man in Connecticut." The succeeding speakers were Rev. J. A. B. Wilson and Rev. G. W. Hoghey, of St Louis, in favor of the admission of women; Rev. Dr. A. Wheeler, of Erie, and Rev. Dr. Luke C. Queal, against such admissions, and finally Rev. J. B. Hamilton, in favor of the fair lex. That tbo vorse should teach, as some suggest, that only heathen nations and all except Christians, should be judged, does to the simple reader seem strange and perplexing. The obvious meaning seems to be that the -whole human race will appear before Christ, the King and Judge. The earthly distinctions and dividing lines will then disappear. Sheep and goats pasture together, and eastern travelers say that only the practiced eye of the shepherd can distinguish them. At night they are separated by him. Thus now good and bad are intermingled and the keenest observation often cannot discern the difference. Christ, the Great Shepherd, all the while knows his people; and there is a day coming when he will declare publicly who are, and who pretend to be, his true dis- Strnek Against a Machine. HaprimujhO, May 4.—The state Prohibition convention selected A. A. Barker, A. A Stevens, Jamas Black and Charles S. Wolfe as delegates at large to the national convention. Electors and district delegates were also chosen. Jamas Black, of Lancaster, was Dominated for supreme judge. A resolution indorsing Clinton B. Visit for president was adopted, and the convention adjourned. At a meeting of the executive committee the chairman was instructed to enter upon an active canvass of the state on or about June 1. The committee also instructed him tc procure four wagons with tent outfits, at an expense of $400 each, to be used for prohibition missionary work. The Chinese Treaty. Plymouth, Mass., May 4.—The union workmen who some weeks ago left H. M. Stewart's cigar factory because a bunching machine had been introduced, have opened a factory of their own under the firm name ol Eddy & Taylor. Stewart is running afre* shop. Washington, May 4.—The senate in secret discussed the Chinese treaty. No action was taken, but the injunction of secresy was removed, and the amendments proposed by the committee made public. They provide for the exclusion of Chinese laborers who have been in this country before, whether they hold return certificates or not, and make it necessary for any Chinese laborer who, by reason of having a lawful child, wife, or parent in the United States, is entitled to admittance, to. produce to the customs officer the return certificate. In conclusion Mr. Wilson said: "You may strike down that tribute of the people on the other end of the avenue, who, putting aside all ideas of prudence, spoke out that ringing summons that rallied the people as nothing else ever did. You may strike down the leaders of this fight as you struck them down in the last congress. Those who hold the standard may fall, but other hands will take it up and move forward. Just before the close of the session Rev. Charles H. Kelley, fraternal delegate from the British Woeeylan conference, and Rev. Wesley Guard, fraternal delegate from the Irish Wesleyan conference, were introduced to the delegates, and a motion was carried that a committee be appointed to confer with them. Preferred Death to Going to Jail.

Washington, May 4.—M. Leesburg, a dealer in electrotype and stereotype materials, of New York, was before the house commitee investigating the management of the government printing office, to answer the charge that he had bought brass, copper and other dross of Public Printer Rounds, at the figures for which common stereotyping dross was sold. He produced transcripts of ledger ac counts and bills, showing that he paid for the droeB and old material at the government printing office the current market prices. He stated further that he was never favored by Mr. Hounds as a bidder, and that he was a bidder a year ago under Public Printer Benedict, and that although he was the best responsible bidder, he was not awarded the contract; that when he asked Benedict to explain, the latter said he was going to stand by his friends. * "The spirit of liberty is behind us; all we can hope for the destiny and greatness of this country urges us forward." The afternoon session was held at the Washington Square M. E. church, and was presided over by Bishop Warren. Dr. Hunter, of Central Isle, conducted the services. The following committees were appointed: On itinercy, J. M. Buckley, New York, chairman, L. W. Joyce, secretary; on Book Concern, Gen. C. B. Fisk, New Jersey, chairman, A. W. McKenny, secretary. Committees were also appointed on reception of fraternal delegates, Episoopacy, rules;of order, boundaries, missions, revivals, church extension, temporal economy, Sunday school and tracts, state of the church and freedmen's aid work in the south.

Outside of this the firms liabilities amount to about $120,000, of which about $80,000 is due to firms in the old country. A meeting of the creditors will be called soon, when a statement will be submitted, and it is understood an offer of 00 per cent will be made. V. 33. The gentleness, inoffensiveness, peacefulness and tractability of sheep symbolizes the character of Christ's true people. Goats combine uncleanness and stubbornness, and thus typify the evil character of the ungodly. In the Hebrew there is one word which means both a goat and a demon. The "right hand" was the place of honor. Indianapolis, May 4.—The Republican state convention met yesterday to select four delegates and alternates to the Chicago convention. The state ticket will be named later in the season. The convention favored Benjamin H. Harrison for nomination for the presidency.  Mr. Dingley, of Maine, in opposing the bill, discussed the president's and Mr. Mills' assumption that duties on imported articles which can be produced here to the extent of our wants were a tax which increased the burdens of the consumer to the extent, or nearly to the extent of the duty, and he argued that on the contrary such duties benefited the consumer by encouraging home industries and securing products for less labor or service. Referring to the charge that protection had destroyed our foreign carrying trade, Mr, Dingley said it was true that this has declined, but no more rapidly since the war than in the six years before the war.

Washington, May 4.—At the oil trust investigation yesterday, George Rice, of Marietta, O., testified that the Cleveland and Marietta railroad charged him thirty-five cents per barrel freight on oil, charging the Standard but ten cents, and paying the difference to the Standard. He said his business was reduced over one-half in five months by this and other injustices. The Oil Trust Investigation, St. Paul, May 4.—A special from Ashland, Wis., to The Despatch says: The rains of the past day or two have caused the Bad rivir to rise again, and there is much danger now of a loss to the loggers, who are driving down the swollen stream. The river is now running all over the woods, and, of course, so are the logs. But the danger which is most apprehended is that the boom at the mouth of the river will be broken by the action of the current It is feared that then the 35,000,000 logs therein will be lost in Lake Superior. '  The "Bad" River Justifies Its Name. An 980,000 Fire In Columbus. ! THE WORLD OF SPORT. Columbus, O., broke out late yesterday afternoon in the asbestos works of J. G. Pulling & Co., on Sciota street, by the ujisetting of a vat of boiling tar. A strong wind blowing caused the flames to spread to surrounding buildings, in spite of the efforts of the fire department, and for a time it seemed a whole block of buildings must go. The buildings destroyed were Eaton's machine shop, Talmage's warehouse, Polling's asbestos works, a dwelling house owned by John L. Gill, Pulling's machine shop and the Cadwalader house, the property of Congressman James Campbell. The Dennison hotel was also badly scorched. The buildings were not very costly, but with contents the loss will amount to $80,000; small insurance. Mr. McKinney, of New Hampshire, said that he believed that the best means of collecting the funds necessary for the support of the government was by a tax on imports, and that that tax should be levied, as far as might be, on luxuries, and that, as far as might be, the necessaries of life should be placed on the free list. oension.

Canton, O., May 4.—While the wife of Farmer Henry Rinsko, living five miles south of here, was milking, her two children, aged 5 and 7, were left alone in the kitchen.
