Letters Winch Indicate That She In
tcinM to Murder Her Husband.
Erom Baltimore comes this item
of news:
A divorce suit in which letters
will be produced showing the alleg- j
ed plot of a wife to kill her hus
band a:i l marry the defendant in
the case, will be tried shortly.
Mary Gray asks for divorce from
her husband Harry M. Gray. Ihe
couple were married in New York
in 18S1, and resided in that city i
until two years ago. The wife al-1
leges that she found three letters in I
her husband’s pocket, the contents
of which is proof sufficient to war
rant the granting of her petition.
The letters 'are full of endearing
expressions, and in one of them this
startling information is given: “My
secret is this. lam trying to put
the old fool out of the way, and it
gives me a great lot of trouble to
do it. I am not doing it myself;
there is sonic one that does that :
busine.- s, and 1 will tell you all
about it, but it must be kept a sc- !
cret vet a while. It will be done by
charms, and he will go off very sud
denly, and no one will know what
killed him. I have to pay her $l5O
and need not pay her until he i:
gone. So, now you see what I
would do to get you, and, dear,
please keep this to yourself forever.
If I did not love you I would not
tell you, and I know that you love
me. Dear, tell me what you think
of this, and if you will be willing to ■
marry mo ; that would lie my joy. ■
and w-iien I get his insurance mon
ey, then we can live nicely the rest I
of our lives. You wanted me to
kill by gas, but that would not be
safe. But if my plan does not do,
then you can come and do what you
| want with gas.”

Hi HEE ANIHOWi
Rev. Joseph Jones Eolyes Willi a
Young Lady in Soulii Carolina.
Grkenvillf, S. June 11.—
News has reached here that great
excitement prevails in Laurens, S.
C., caused by the recent elopement
of Rev. Joe Jones, brother of Sam
Jones, and Miss Bassie Earrow, of
Cross Anchor, S. C.
Mr. Jones met the lady last sum
mer while conducting a series of
religious meetings at Laurens. The
mother of the young lady was very
much opposed to the match, but on
the other hand it was favored by
her father. On one occasion, it is
said, Mr. Jones went to see his affi
anced, and was met by her mother
who “shut the door in his face,”
and refused to admit him.
It seems that Mr. Jones became
tired of such obstacles, and with
the aid of a. friend secured the girl
and ran away and married her. The
happy couple were expected to leave
on last night’s’train but unfortun
ately the bride had left home in
such haste that , she neglected to
carry her baggage, and therefore,
they were detained.
The mother declines to give it up
and threatens to shoot the “first
man who puts hig foot inside the
door.” Mr. Jones is about thirty
years of age and has for sometime
past been preaching at Liurens.
Political.
New Y’ork, June 14.—The talk
among local politicians, and espec
iallv those Democrats who were at
the St. Louis convention, is on the
question whether President Cleve
land favors a light between the dem
ocratic factions here over the coun
ty and city oflices. It has been as
serted and denied that Mr. ('leve
land, through Secretary Whitney
and two or three other New Yorkers,
has sent word that lie will not in
fluence New York city politics in
any matinor. This message is con
strued to mean that lie will with- i
hold iris soothing hand in the mut
ter of an alliance between Tamma
ny and the county democracy, and
that such non-action will leave
these halves of the party indisposed
to a fusion. The oliices of mayor
sheriff and county clerk are to be
filled at the November election, be- i
sides a lot of minor places, and if
Mr. ('leveland desires that Tamma
ny and the counties shall each nom
inate a ticket, it is because he be
lieves that such a campaigh will
bring out a larger vote than would
otherwise be the case.
Letter From Lee.
Butler, Ga., June 13.—C01. Ed.
Willis received the following letter 1
from Gen. Lee to whom the twelfth I
Ga. regiment had sent a box of pro- '
visions. The letter is now in the
possession of M ij. Carson, of But- .
ler, who prizes it above price:
Headquarters, Apr. Sth, 1864. —
'Colonel: I return my grateful thanks

‘ for the box of provisions is has so
1 kindly sent mo, With the express
ions of my gratitude I beg leave to
add that I should have greatly pre
ferred the regiment t > have retained

tial to i s comfort than mine. V i:l:

Tha Rich Man.
Chattanooga, June 13.—Jay
Gould is in Chattanooga today. lie
do--s not look like a rich man. His
lit of el'-lhc.- could be duplicated
for S3O. Ext ept a plain gold chain
from which is suspended a gold
pencil he wears no ornaments. He
is very quiet, talks little and in
subdued tones, seeming to take lit
tle inter,>st in anything. He ap
pears like a man who has restless
nights and poor digestion. To see
the man no one in good health
' would exchange positions with him.
He says the south, offers superior
I advantages to the west to emigrants
as the west is over crowded.
It Ims been recently decided by
