% Sidney G. Burton died penniIess. 1t is
to be hoped that the Insurance Companies in
whose service he wore out his life, will con
tribute literally, as they Justly should, to the
support and comfort of those he '1eaves behind
him. The Clevelander says that at the time
of his death, he was debating an autobiography
for which New York publishing house had
engaged to pay him $15. 900, and that it would
have surprised the world, damned many who
occupy high position, and shown an unparal-
leled record of crime. Mr., Burton died ere
one fifth of the. work was completed, and it is
yalueless The Cleveland Herald says that
Kssane received his pardon through Burton's
exertionsy and believes that, f'as far as can be,
Kissane will make amends fof his n,isdeeds,
and had Burton been spared, most important
results would have attended the restoration Of
Kissane to his iberty.'3 ~ ..isE9i55eF;flefi

CHILD BEATEN TO DEATH BY AN OLD MAID
The New York papers contain accounts o.
the death of boy between four and five years
OF age, who had been beaten to death by an
old maid named Miss Packhurst. She would
sometimes beat him for two or three hours at .
time with strap or whalebone. The child
was in delicate health, and his mother having
died he was placed under the guardianship o
this spinster. She was committed to prison
to await an examination for murder

OTThe Evansville Journal in recent able
editorial article, says the Locomotive, notices
the fact that Willard Carpenter & Co., the
contractors on the Evansville, Indianapolis
and Cleveland Straight Line Railroad, met
their late estimate, as heretofore, promptly
with the cash. We see that the company have
given notice in the New York Tribune, that
the semi-annual interest Coupons on their out
standing bonds, falling due on the first Of Jan
uary, will be paid at the office of Field, Merritt
s. Co. No. AZ Dye Street, This should be
highly gratifying to the stockholders and
friends of that important work, and should in
spire entire confidence in the good faith and
perseverance ofthe contractors, and the prti-
dent and economical arrangements of the af-
fairs of the Company in these stringent times
that have prostr tied so many other works.
Evansville, and the White River Valley and
our own City; all have a deep interest in the
completion of this important work, and
should give to it the aid necessary to its com
pletion at an early day State Sentinel.

on the night Of the goth of November, man
named Bovard residing near the town of Ben
ton, in that county turned his wife out of the
house, but that during the night supposing
her monstrous husband to be asleep she crept
into the dwelling and laid down on a sheep
skin before the fire. Boyard was awake, how
ever, and procuring a club beat his poor wife's
brains out. Nothing but the hideous demon
of strong drink could cause man to commit
such deed of horror The murderer was
lodged in prison.

the State Sentinel says: "a

OF We have already made allnsioh to the
following, but did not give details:
R. G. Watson, one of the oldest and most
substantial citizens of New Madrid county,
was shot on the 18th inst He died immedi-
ately after receiving the wound. 1t is said
that fifty-four shot entered his face. Judge
Watson was about rs years of age. The per-
sons charged with this murder are Pressly
Phillips, his son, and DIR. John Ross, and re-
ward of $4,000 is offered for their apprehen-
sion. They are thus described in the st. Louis
Republican of the Goth inst:
Pressly Philips is about five feet seven or
eight inches in height, rather heavy set aged
about fifty years; dark sandy complexion, dark
sandy hair, but turning gray; thick lips; quick
and rather low spoken; when using tobacco
he chews it quickly and leaves stain on his
lips; has been shot with rifle in the back, the
scar Of which is yet probably visible. i
Sullivan Phillips is son of Pressly Phil
