tha: England has no animosity toward Amer

is justitlably indignant at the delay in paus

danger of an interruption of the amicable
relations of the two • cuntries, and that th©

very gratifying to the English jK'opla
“America must not imagine,” said he,
‘That it will be exempt from the operations

COLUMBUS. GEORGIA, TH RSBAY MORNING. JANUARY 29. 1885.
CRAZED BY RELIGION,
A FRENZIED MOTHER ENACTS A HOR
RIBLE TRAGEDY.
Choking Her Boy to Death and Cutting
Her Own Throat —Her Daughter’s Es
cape -The Child Recovers and fella
the Story of the Awful Crime.
Newport, Ky., Jan. 97.—A terrible and
shocking tragedy took place here Sunday
noon. Mrs. Carrie Winslow, wife of Mr.
George Winslow, of Buffalo, N. Y., in a fit of
craziness killed her eigbt-year-old son Walter,
and attempted the life of her ten-year-old
daughter Daisy, and then cut her own throat.
Thu terrible event occurred at a quar
ter to 19 o'clock at th© woman’s residence.
Within a year past she began showing symp
toms of insanity, and these became so de
cided last spring that she had to bo
sent to the sanitarium at College Hill,
near Cincinnati. November she was
•ent home, seemingly cured. At a quarter to
12 o’clock the two children were with her in the
middle room up-stairs. She bode the little girl
to go down stall’s for a paper, its the
child passed out she carefull}’ locked the
door, and snau’hing up a piece of twine,
placed it almut her son’s neck ami strangled
him to death before be could make a strug
gle. The little girl returned in a moment,
and as she entered her mother closed the
door and locking it remarked: “Daisy, we
must all die together.” She drew a razor
from her pocket and was making for her
daughter yvhen the child, ecreamiug with all
her might, ran to the door, endeavoring to
get out. The frantic mother then matched
up a has© ball bat and struck her c f«r the
head, felling her to the ground insensible.
The woman then cut the child’s throat, in
flicting three gashes, but not severing
the jugular. She then cut her own throat,
inflicting a frightful wound, stretching from
the ear to the chin.
The rqoin wjxere the tragedy occurred pre
sented a frightful and sickening appearance*.
The tragedy created the wildest excitement
In Newport, and in no time the house was
crowded with sight-seer*.
The reason for the mother’s awful deed
will be understood when it is known that she
had fits of insanity, superinduced by religious
excitement.
Upon searching the woman’s pocket the
coroner found a lot of twine string and the
following note:
“Deah Moi her—l have l>een a sufferer for
years I see that my suffering ar© incurable..
Cqarley and sister, look after mother. I have,
prayed and suffered and there is no hope for me
an<l 1 don’t want <ny children to suffer after me
and leave them behind. Garris.” |
A few other notes were found, the purport
of which was that her action was not inspired
by the want of money, but that death would
be’her only solace. The little girl is seem-’
ingly improving, and will probably recover.
She is a child of remarkable intelligoirce,
and .vividly understands everything tiiht- oc
curred. She told the story of the awful
deed in the clearest possible manner. She
stated to those around her that her mother
refused to let herself or her little brother go
to Sunday school, and also that her mother
insisted on making the beds, and refused to
allow tl e servants in the room.
All were startled and almost dumbfounded
when the J’ttle sufferer stated that she had
sufficiently recovered from the blows and
cuts she received to actually witness her
mother taking her own life with the razor
She says her mother kissed her three times
after she thought xbe had killed her, and she
wan afraid to move, thinking her mother
would again attack her.
She explained how her mother knelt b fore
the looking glass, and after cutting her
throat, dropped her head to the floor, in
which position she wa» found dead.
The doctors «ay that the blows on the hend
did not fracture the inner bone of the scull,
ami the probability is she will recover. Cor
oner Dameron summoned a jury, which, after
taking t stimony, returned a verdict in ac
cordance with the facts.
Base Ball Differences Ended.
Rt Louis, Jan. 27.—The base ball war has
corn© to an abrupt end. The rival presidents
of the Union and American dubs have settled
their differences, and Mr. Von der Ahe has
promised to no longer oppose Mr. Lucas, but
do all in his power toward making a league
club here successful. The gentlemen even
went so far as to talk over a series of games
which their respective nines shall take part
in, >n the early springtime. Mr. Von der
Abe’s course is generally commended by the
base ball public here. It is stated that Dun
lap, Shafer, Sweeney and Rowe, of the Lucas
nine will be reinstated by the league, and
continue with his team.
A C hain of Fatalities.
Bellaire, 0., Jan. 27.—W. H. Berry and
bin son Lewis, glassblowers working at
Barnesville, received a telegram Saturday,
stating that a daughter living in Pittsburg
had suddenly died. In hurrying to make the
train the old gentleman overexerted himself
and dropped dead in the depot from heart
disease The body was coffined and accotn
panied his son and wife from here. They tel
egraphed the sad intelligence to Mrs. Berry
at Pittsburg, who, already prostrated by the
loss of her daughter, died Sunday. The
•on and wife, therefore, will attend three
funerals in lead of one.
Stamping Out Home Disease.
Taylorville, 111., Jan. 27.—State Veteri

DEATH OF TOM FIELDS.
BILL TWEED’S OLD FRIEND AND THE
COUNSEL OF HIS RING.
A Fugitive From Justice, Unknown and
Forgotten-—Looked Upon by Canadians
as More Unfortunate than Criminal
His Career in New York.
St. Andrews. Quebec, Jan. 27 -—Thomas
Craig Field*, ex corporation attorney of New
York, and one of the most notorious and con
spicuous figures in the great Tweed ring
which p:un lore 1 the tax payers of the city
out of untold millions of dollars, died here
Sunday morning of pneumonia. It will be
itK’olieuted that after the startling exposures
growing out of the discovery of she 1 gigantic
st dings of Tweed and his rascally associates,
Ifi-‘ids w-as arrested, but gave bail, which he
forfeited and fie Ito Canada, where he has
since resided. He brought with him a large
share of his plunder, and up to the time of
his death lived in such strict seclusion that
he was almost forgotten by the friends who
had 11 < ked around him in his palmy days of
Boss Tweed’s reign.
Ou February 4 1872, Fields xvas indicted
by rhe grand jury of New York for bribery,
w hile a member of the legislature. He was
a member of both houses, serving first in the
assembly and subsequently in the senate dur
ing th© session of 1804. On the day follow
in (he indictment he was arrosb-d and gave
bail in the sum ol $25,000. The testimony
b i.ir? the grand jury was to the effect that
Fields had been largely instrumental in se
curing th© passage of ft bill March 6, 1808,
appropriating $50,000 in aid of certain volun
teer lire companies; that afterward he en«
t> red into a corrupt agreement w-ith certain
persons, under which he received .‘#i per cent,
of all moneys that he received for the al
leged use of the fire companies, and that he
presented fratidulent claims to the comp
troller for $471,952.81 and received a warrant
for that amount. It was also shown that he
agreed with the firemen for 50 per eent. of
all adijitiunal amounts he could obtain under
iimilar fraudulent schemes. Witnesses also
tes itied that Fields stated to them that he
had been compelled to pay one of the txvo
persons who signed the warrant under which
he obi;fined the money, the sum of $71,000,
an I it vxos shoxvn that the amount actually
re cive.l by the fire companies was only $19,-
740.08.
: Subsequent investigation showed that
Fields secured from the city money, over
$510,000, out of which hisshare of his spoils
was not less than $200,000. In October, 1872,
b’:; Ids finding that his conviction was assured
through the efforts of the committee of
leventy, which had accumulated a com| let©
network of evidence around him, establish
ing his guilt, il * I from the city. His wife
guarded his s ret so sacredly that- not until
na bad reach . Canada did he make known
the fact that he had shaken the dust of New
York from bis feet in exchange for that par
adise of thieves, where he now finds a grave.
His ofiynse not being an extraditable one no
Effort was made to secure his return. Tweed
|iad already fled. Harry Genet has skipped
away. Sweeney had also flown, and A.
Da key Hal), only one remained, stood trial,
was acquitted. Two yuan* ago Genet re
turned and served out his term on Blackwell’s
Island, b it the lawyer thief continued to en
joy his freedom to the end of his earthly
career.
During the Tweed regime in the metropolis
all middle aged and in ny young New York
ers will remmnber Tom Fields’ magnificence.
He xvas loo: ©d on as one of the world’s favor
ites. His flatterers trooped after him in bat
talions, until the crash came. It is said here
that he brought $2,0X1,000 into this country
with him Th© people here say the Canadi
ans treati 1 him like a man who was more
unfortunate than criminal. He was, they
say, “rolling in riches.” Ho was magnificent
even in a >ster. He speculated in real estate
and lost l eavily. Some people thought he
xvas ruine 1. Then he disappeared suddenly.
Many of his most intimate friends did not
know where he had gone.
lb had purchase 1 a farm from John C.
Abuott, now the attorney for the Canadian
I‘uciflc Railway. For years Field lived a lite
of strict retirement, lie spent his time in
improving land and raising cattle. He was
f<. ;jotted by the world. His friends and an
souiates were the simple habitants around
him.
There are very few English people where
he made his home, and be woh not bothered
by news gatherers. But lately he was a new
man. He came into the active xvorld again,
and recently talked of going back to New
York. Since the death of his old enemy,
Charles O’Conor, Fields was trying to sell his
property. As soon as ho succeeded he said He
would return to the United Stutos, but he
failed to secure a purchaser. He visited Mon
i real but seldom, and when he did was not
known, except to a few.
