Au ust 22.7-A wife murder'with details of a most s':ocking nature is reported from Harris County, which is gaining an unenviable notoriety for deeds of violence. In Apple Va*ley, in that - Cointy. lives a colored man named Sydney Hall and his wife, a woman considerably his junior. He has been jealous of her for some time, and so embittered her life that there was no love lost between them. On several occasions Hall claims that his wife had-put poison in his tea and that he lived in con constant - stant constant dread of his life. When, yesterday evening, Hall went to his employer. Judge Anderson, and told him that "de ole woman would hodder him no more now," the Judge had no conception of the terrible dead which had been com committed. - mitted. committed. He went with iall to his cabin, and there on the bed lay the body of the dead woman, her head having rolled off on the floor, which was covered with blood. ."I done it, boss," said Hall, without a quiver. "She won t bodder us no more now." The fiend then gave a circumstantial account of how he killed her. Two weeks before, he said, his wife had made her last attempt to poison him. He then made her di ink some of the tea, which sick sickL - L sickL ened her considerably. Yesterday afternoon he chided her with some new evidences of infidelity, to which her-only response was that he would get a good dose of tea V when he was not thinking about it. She then went to bed for her even ing nap. Hall said he sat there e until he saw she was fast asleep, and in thinking over his misfortune he felt almost like killing himself. e Then came the suggestion, "Why y not kill her?" Ile tried to fight the thought down, but could not. t The idea took possession of his mind and held him spellbound. At s last, with a desperate effort, he re ren - n ren solved to go out to his work and escape the temptation. He took up his axe and went as far as the door. - e He turned for a moment and looked . - at his sleeping wife. Then the desire to kill her became over-pow-. erinr, and before he was conscious of what he was do-ng he was beside - s the bed, had raised his axe and struck for her neck, cutting it con cont - t cont siderably. At the first blow the woman raised her hand and grasped f the axe handle convulsively and Y attempted to raise herself, with her r head half cut off, as it was. With a terrible wrench he shook off her Y hold and she fell back on the bed. e Another blow completed the work. a and her head tolled off at his feet. He then put the axe away, and at attter - tter attter ruminating over what he had done concluded that the best that - he could do was to tell his mnaster Lall about it, and he did so.

Near Jones's to lived one Sylvester Grey who re of joiced in a most amiale and ex- a I te'llent wife and three very beauti- a ful cl,ihlrcu, but it is evident now ki that .Ir. Sylvester forgot that he ras was married and for m.:tter of that Ian so did Mi s. -Jones. but Jones did so, not. If Mrs. Jones forgot the re- sot sl)ect an-l fidelity that was due to ing Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones had a most gra lively sen,e of what was due to dis himself. and he made up his mind life that it would be a remarkably cold ofi day when he, the aforesaid Jones, ass got left. On Sunday last Mrs. mu Jones made up her mind that she exi would levant with Mr. Sylvester our Grey, and M r. Sylvester Grey made an3 up his mind that he would fly with ent Mrs. Jones. Everything was ready, act the pair stood in the depot ready to has fly; the conductor had halloed "all f aboard" and they were just in the is I act of stepping on the train when who should suddenly appear on the scene but Jones-the injured Jones. Fly and save yo. rself darling, said TIl Mrs. Jones, and darling flew and left Mrs. Jones to take care of her- c self. Did Jones tear his hair, up- c, braid his wife and try and commit mi. suicide by stabbing hiimself with a of I bar of soap? Not a bit of it. and cl1 right here is where Jones show- t ed his good horse sense. IlIe is never said a word to Mrs Jones. boo but he took hold of her and began 11 to strip her of her jewelry. IIe our lightened her of her watch and li chain, he took off her bangles, a aj nice pair of $7() bracelets he slipped lar in his coat-tail pocket, a necklace wa made of gold dollars was the next ed thing that came to hand, finally he in went for her diamond earrings; this we was the last ounce on the back of Ire the dromedary, and Mrs. Jones 'I fought like a tiger, but it was no l" us,. Jones evidently meant busi- 1ll ness, and as ha had the law on his stit side resistance was useless, so rath- its er than part with her ears Mrs. .j Jones let the rings go. Jones evi- in dently considered that he had all that was valuable about Mrs. Jones. of They were love souvenirs that he the h:tdrpaid for in hard cash in brighter ry and happier days, and he had io pre idea that Mr. Sylvester Grey should rea carry off all that valuable plunder ;ur with the oth. r movable property. reg There was no word of reproach, no l threats. Jones turned on his heel , and went quietly back to his work cha just as if nothing had happened, die leaving Mrs. Jones to go to Jericho dril or any other foreign capital which ter, she found most congenial to her health. It may be considered fine ate writing acco ding to the Concord or "rhE Chautauqua standards, but I say. us Bully for Jo Ies. I admire Jones. tac He is my statndard of the esthetic 4of man of the future. ie has shown i. himself a man of taste and feeling n -taste in the articles lie selected ~. ~.from - from ~.from Mrs. Jones' adornments and siel feeling in the manner in which lie pe went after them. Again I say,sn "Bully for Jones." He did just orf what he ought ' .have done. for a th woman of that ko.d was not worth bet fighting for. c We have the promise of another ~ Lunatic Asylum scandal.Mrs.Wylie C the millionaire widow of Trarry Trarrytown, - town, Trarrytown, who disappeared so suddenly 1 two years ago, it appears has been J incarcerated in a Private Asylum 3 by her loving relatives all that time. pot She had an income of 825,000 a tb year, and her relations wanted to car spend it for her. They had her de- WE clared a drunkard, her servants* were suborned to do it.

This is the the saP,ej worthy that kept Prouse e Cooper in confinement several years, who is as sane as any man in: in New York. Mrs. Wylie's rela- ~ tives got hold of all her property fy and made $i0,000 a year by kceep- tb ing her in prison.

While waiting for the engraved diagram of the above rather mixed conundrum, I wipe the dewy drops of summer moisture from my intel intellectual - lectual intellectual brow, and go on with my story.

With President Bennet I. Young and General Manager J. Dl.

So it was that I took a chair in a space that no workman wanted just then, and spent two hours in as cool a place as I have found in Louis Louisville. - ville. Louisville. The L. & N.

No definite es timate can be made from the books, even in the rare moments that a, newspaper man can get the use of them. As to talking to the railway men unloading cars, or to the work workmen - men workmen busy in erecting pavilions and exhibition cottages and stands, more costly than a poor man's home, that is a risk, because it is so easy to drop a ton of steam pipe or spare bit of lumber on the head of the in quisitive man who seems idle, in that his only tool is a pencil.

I wish some one would tell me if he could, why it is, that when a criminal commits some particular particularly - ly particularly atrocious crime an interest is awakened in him that a hundred in innocent - nocent innocent men or women could never excite. Only a few years ago a brutal negro strangled a woman ander particularly horrible circun circunstances, - stances, circunstances, and for nearly a year he poised in prison as a first class dude; uimiring friends sent him good clothes. fruit, flowers, ice cream, and all the delicacies of the season, not to mention first class cigars and other like consolations. Three (lays before his execution a respectably dressed and not had looking woman, called to see him, but was not admitted. She tried for an entire day to see him but failed; she had never seen him and did not know him, and yet when finally refused wept like a child, and going out purchas d a basket of flowers at a cost of five dollars and sent it in to the murderer, with her love. This is the very quin quintessence - tessence quintessence of madness, and yet in Brooklyn a scene was enacted last Sunday which makes me think that some of my colored brothers are daft. In that goodly city a few weeks ago they hung a negro mur murderer - derer murderer named Jefferson, one of the most heartless desperate brutes that ever paid the penalty of his crimes upon the gallows. He had been a terror from his boyhood, a thief and a drunkard; as far as could be learned he had not a soli solitary - tary solitary redeeming feature in his t har haracter. - acter. haracter. IIe murdered two innocent people and nearly killed two more, maiming them so that one will be terribly disfigured for life and the other, his own brother, will carry the marks of his injury to his grave. No sooner was his awful crime made public, than forthwith an army of philanthropic cranks be became - came became interested in Mr. Jefferson. Ladies called upon him, ministers of all denominations became fear fearful - ful fearful he might be lost and they all appeared to be afraid thlat some somebody - body somebody else might save him. Some kind-hearted-Sisters of Charity at attempted - tempted attempted to pray with and convert him, bnt the regular chaplain of the jail seemed to think that he might just as well die in his sins as have anything to do with the papists. Linda Gilbert, who is known as the prisoner's triend, a sort of crank in her way, who believes if you find a man robbing yoin- house, instead of shooting or arresting him, you should give him a ten dollar bill billshe - she billshe took up Jefferson's case. Linda has money, is a true philanthropist; she does not fool away her loose change on innocent or unfortunate people-not she, but let some no notorious - torious notorious scoundrel be guilty of some terrible crime, the worse it is the more she glories in her protege, and until the gallows claims him or States prison gets him the gentle Linda will furnish him. with every good thing that heart of man could -wish for. Miss Gilbert and many others became interested in Jeffer. son; they fought Justice up to the very last moment, but at last every' legal resouree had been exhausted ~and Mr. Jefferson departed for the happy hunting grounds. lHe mag. nanimoucly forgave all of his cne. !nies, gave Miss Gilbert his skele skeleton, - ton, skeleton, and died certain that the Gol GoldJen - dJen GoldJen Gates were opened and ready to receive him.
