OUT HER THROAT.
A HELLISHXhlME PERPETRATED ON
A HELPLESS WOMAN.
TheVIlll.n Persuaded HI. Wile to Taka

Her Throat From Ear to Ear—Tbo Body
Identified—A Four In Search.
Memphis, Not;. 13.—An atrocious
murder lias been committed near
Mason's depot, thirty miles out on the
Louisville and Nashville road, and the
murderer sought to conceal his crime
by placing the body of his victim on the
railroad track just before train time.
The murdered woman was the wife of
Donglas Smith, a farmer. She had left
her husband oil account of his had
treatment and went back to her
mother's. During the night Smith
called at the house and persuaded her
to take a walk with him. The two
were last seen walking together along
the railroad truck. Soon afterward, as
a freight train came through a lonely
cut, the engineer saw a body lying be
tween the rails immediately in front of
him. He reversed his engine, but. too
late to prevent the locomotive from
passing over the body and mangling it
out of all human shape. But the
wheels did not do their work os the
murderer expected. The head and
neck of the corpse escaped injury, and
the train men, on examination, found
that the throat had been cut from ear
to ear. The body was identified as that
of Mrs. Smith, and a coroner’s jury re
turned a verdict charging her husband
with the murder. A posse is out hunt
ing for him.
BRAVE WOMEN.
Fetnnlo Convicts Itescue Drowning Sbn
Otr Andaman Islands.
Calcutta, Nov. 13.—Amid the stories
of death which have been received here
there is one which redounds highly to
the heroism of women, and one which
should be strongly put before the au
thorities so that tlie participants in the
noble deed may he rewarded as they
deserve. As lias been announced the
steamer Enterprise, used by the govern
ment to convey convicts to the Anda
man Islands, which is the penal settle
ment of the East Indies, was lost dur
ing the cyclone. Later intelligence
shows that when the storm
burst the steamer was caught
unprepared, and that she was blown
with terrific speed onto the shore. She
dashed upon the rocks lying opposite
the female convict prison, and lying
there a wreck the gigantic seas swept
clean over her.
The wreck of the vessel was seen by a
number of the female convicts, who
were seeking shelter from the fury of
the gale, and they, with a heroism
seldom equaled by women, started for
the shore. Slowly and painfully they
forced themselves against the storm,
grasping the rocks and other things to
prevent themselves from being literally
blown away. At last they reached the
shore. Here, nothing daunted by the
thundering in rush of the waters, which
at times swept high above their heads,
they formed a human life-line, each
woman grasping the other’s hand. Then
the bravest of the party at the head of
the line, rushed into the sea and grasped
a form seen twirling and twisting in
the water, and, aided by her compan
ions, drugged ashore one of the men
who lmd been swept from the wreck of
the Enterprise. Again and again the
women entered the wnter, and each
time they returned with a man who,
had it not been for their heroic atd,
would surely have been drowned. Of
the eighty-three men comprising the
officers uud crew of the Enterprise only
six were drugged from the water bv the
noble-hearted women — noble-hearted
and self-sacrificing even though they
have been branded ss criminals.
Every English officer and evei
liah member of the crew of the
prise were lost.

Arsenical Poison.
Orangeville, Cal., Nov. 13.—3. E.
Brandon and wife have died of arsenical
poisoning. A grown son and daughter
were also poisoned, and the former la
expected to die while the latter may re
cover. The arsenic was used by the
family, who were amateur taxidermists,
and was placed lu biscuits in mistake
for baking powder.
CROOKEDNESS.
Charms That nn Indian Apmt Has Used
False Returns.
Huron, S. D., Nov. 18.—Parties here
from the Cheyenne Indian agency bring
sensational reports affecting affairs
there. Inspector Sessney has been look-
ing into the business management at
the agency, and, it is said, discovered a
number of irregularities, among them
evidences that P. P. Palmer, the agent
bis clerk, George B. Shoonfelt, who is a
son-in-law of Palmer, and Interpreter
Benway, have received several thou
sand dollars by false returns to the
government in the purchase of cattle
from the Indians.
It is alleged that they paid only abont
one-half the amount permitted by the
government, hut that their vouchers
called for the full amount. Hay was
purchased, it is charged, at from 33 to
$5 per ton, the returns being made to
the department at $10 per ton. It is
said that Shoenfelt has admitted that
he received in this way between $S,000
and $10,0(10, and those associated with
him have hod like amounts. Other
items of irregularity have been dis
covered, it is said, and as the investiga
tion progresses more are likely to come
to light. Inspector Sessney will make
a thorough investigation. There are
numerous rumors afloat concerning the
affair, some of them very sensational.
KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Lee Heflin and George Dye were ar
rested at Calverton, Fauquier county,
Va., charged with complicity in the
murder of Mrs. Hines and three children
near there. Heflin ia the man who saw
the house burning and went some dis
tance to the neighbors to give the
alarm instead of rendering assistance to
Mrs. Hines.
Mr. William T. Price, a Justice of the
Peace, at Richland, Nebraska, wa* con
fined to his bed last winter with a se
vere attack of lumbago; but a thorough
application of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
enabled him to get up and go to work.
Mr. Price says: “The Remedy cannot
be recommended too highly." Let any
one troublod with rheumatism, neural
gia or lame back give It a trial and they
will be of the aame opinion. 00 cent

Over 931,000 Unaccounted tor by the
Books of Kx-Treasurer Turner
Toledo, O., Nov. 18.—The sensation
of the Knights of Labor convention
here was the report of the committee
appointed at the last session at the re
quest of General Secretary Hays to in
vestigate tlie treasurer's hooks, which
he found in an unsatisfactory shape.
The committee reports that ex-Treasurer
Turner refused to apfieur before them
or give up the bank deposit books, can
celed checks and other documents in his
possession. They made the best inves
tigation possible in the absence of the
documents and find there is over thirty-
one thousand dollars unaccounted for,
even crediting Turner with $17,000
which his statements show to have been
expended, bnt which the books of the
order do not show, leaving a balance of
over fourteen thousand dollars entirely
unaccounted fur. The report was or
dered printed.
Trade Greatly Depressed.
London, Nov. 13.—The tin-plate in
dustry in Swansea has become so de
pressed and the demand for steel has
been so seriously lessened that it is re
ported that the masters in that pluce
have decided to close their works when
the existing contracts have been exe
cuted.
The outward trade from the London
pocks to New York at the present time
is in great contrast to the trade which
was being carried on ' between the two
ports at the same period last year.
Whereas the vessels formerly sailed
from here with full cargoes, they now
leave this port for New York with their
bolds half empty. This decrease in the
carrying trade is attributed to the effect
which the new American tariff exerts
in this country. As a consequence of
the decrease it is announced that at the
end of the present seasou’s service be
tween England and Montreal, the
steamers controlled by the Allan line,
instead of being placed on the route
from London to New York, will be
transferred to a new route, which will
include London. New Orleans and ports
in the Mediterranean.
Affroted by the Allen L»bnr Law.
Montreal, Que., Nov. ,18.—Steve
dores and wharf laborers who have
been in the habit of going to the United
States for work every winter are won
dering bow the alien labor law is going
to affect them this winter. From pres
ent appearances most of thenl will be
compelled to stay in Canada. A num
ber of stevedores from Quebec who
went to Pensacola and other southern
ports hsd to return to Canada, as the
American authorities would not allow
them to obtain work there.
A gentleman who wdnt from Mon
treal to Boston to see what arrange
ments be could make for filling np cat
tle boats there has decided that, owing
to the alien labor law he had better re
main in Canada. This looks as if
Canadian wharf laborers were going to
be barred out in the United States this
winter.
Conspiracy Discovered In Greece.
Paris, Nov. 13.—The Eclair, of this
city, publishes a dispatch from Athens,
which cont ana information of startling
importance, In anbstance the corre
spondent of The Eclair states that a
conspiracy has been discovered in
Athens, with ramifications in other
portions of the kingdom, having for ita
object the overthrow of the present
ruling dynasty of Greece. The dis
patch adds that it has been learned that
a number of persons high in political
circles are implicated in the plot.
Among the prominent men who are
said to be desirons of throwing aside
the government of King George is M.
Spirdon Tricoupts, the well-known
Greek statesman, who, at one time,
held the position of prime minister of
the kingdom.
Comments on Salisbury's Speech.
Paris, Nov. 13.—The papers of this
city contain comments on the speech
which Lord Salisbury delivered at the
inauguration of the now lord mayor of
London. Le Jonr says that Lord Salis
bury's remarks in regard to Egypt were
made with the express purpose of shock
ing the susceptibilities of France. La
Temps refuses to take seriously Eng
land's arguments that the blood and
treasure which have already been
lavished in %ypt justify the prolonged
occupation of that country by England.
Le Thmpe says during the English gov
ernment's ten years' possession of Egypt
its mission to restore order them has
been falUUed, then the time to evacuate
the country bad arrived. On the other
