MISCELLANEOUS CABLES.
Needless fear of death killed a prisoner at the Berlin Aseiaes. Hoppe, a business man, was charged with murdering a woman. The jury gave a verdict in prisoner’s absence, as is customary in Germany, but Hoppe, listening at the cell wall, thought he heard the foreman say “Guilty of murder.” When Hoppe was brought into court he was pale and trembling. The Judge said “ You have been found guilty.’ 4 Hoppo murmured : ”1 know,” and fell dead. As a fact the jury had only found him guilty of manslaughter. Di O’Donnell, Bishop of Rophoe, has teen promoted Archbishop of Atalia and coadjutor to Cardinal Logue. M. Fedocesco, former Russian Minister to the Netherlands, who fled to Cannes after the revolution;, committed suicide in poverty.
