Terrible Tragedy iF tho Twelfth ward-A
Man Sixty Years of Ace Butchers his
wife.
The northwestern portion Of our city was
startled from Its slumbers early yesterday
morning by the report that man, nearly
sixty years of age, named Peter Glenn, re-
siding on John-street, between Dayton and
York, had killed his wife by stabbing her
in the right groin with butcher-knife. Cor
oner Carey was Immediately apprised of the
iact, and repaired TO the scene Of the tragedy
for the purpose Of holding an inquest, upon
which the following facts were developed:
About half-past six o'clock yesterday
morning son of the deceased was aroused
by noise which was caused by a quarrel be-
tween his father and mother. II appears
from his statement that he could witness the
parties while he lay in bed, and saw his
father with large butcher-knife in his hand,
and heard him threaten to kill his mother.
He saw her break from his father and run to
another part of the room, when she threw a
mug or pitcher which struck him on the
forehead.
Incensed now more than ever, the husband
seized his wife, and struck her with knife
he held in his hand, inhicting wound in the
right groin, which passed upward and back
ward into the cavity of the abdomen, sever
ing in its course several of the intestines and
a couple of large blood-vessels. The woman
fell, and the homicide passed out of the room,
when the son arose and went to his mother.
He supposed she had tainted from the blow,
but the neighbors who were aroused by the
circumstance, now entered the room, and
upon raising her from the floor it was dis
covered that she was dead.
The homicide has been, oflate, exceedingly
Incorporate in his habits, and the evening
previous had been drinking quite freely. He
has also treated his wife, who seems to have
been as patient and forbearing as she could

cruelty, and beaten and abused her outrage

and was not discovered until about three
o'clock in the afternoon, when he was ar.

and Erbe, and committed to the Bremen

The deceased was the mother of several
children, all of whom are fully grown, and
was nearly as old as her husband. Accord.

was exceedingly amiable in her disposition
and sober and industrious in her habits, suf.

WALKERS Challenge to Blaok-A pusna.

Walkers Challenge 20 Black-A Pugna.
cious "Reminiscences of the Little Ex.Gov.
ernor Of Kan5a5.
The New Orleans Delta, in speaking of the
challenge sent by Robert J. Walker to Attor-
ney-General Black, and the latter's verbal
answer that Robert ]. wanted to butcher
him, has the following comment; ..
Little Bobby Walker, just five stone in
bulk, Ave feet one inch in altitude, proposes
deliberately to decoy q stout-built Conestoga
out Of the District of Columbia with the
intent of reducing him to steaks, chops and
sausage meat, .-,..,t.-s ,..Ir .G - .....
Attorney General Black is a wise man,
and properly appreciated the old scripturai
maxim that 'the battle is not always to the
strong" He fully eomprehends the leveling
effects of modern inventions in warfare, and
sees frighttul and formidable foe in the lilli-
putian Ex-Governor of Kansas, and declines
the combat. LitU t,f,.7 ei,t u
Bowie knives would have been "into his
(the Governor's) hand" as in his early days
Of land specializing he was an intimate friend
and companion of Jim and Rein Bowie,
who gave Immortality to that weapon. he
has seen the weapon flashing in many con-
fiict in the early days of Mississippi, and
doubtless has worn 1t in his travels on the
frontier. .fi t,g .pl.....- ~ .f.ii rH
On one occasion, we remember he did wear
and had good cause to wear ID. II was in
1927, when he was making the canvass for
jackson in the northeastern part of his
State, where he happened in the neighbor-
hood of that redoubtable frontier fighter,
Jesse Benton, brother of Thomas H., Benton,
who shot Gen. jackson in famous street
fight in the streets of Nashville, in 1911 or IL.
Jesse had sworn in his wrath that no one
should come in his neighborhood TO preach
Jacksonism, which he considered little botter
| than treason; and when it was advertised
| that Robert j. Walker would, on a certain
| day, speak almost within hearing of his
residence, there were fearful rumors of the
bloody purposes of the savage Jesse. p
! These did not alarm the intrepid Young
| Jacksonian, who duly appeared at the time
and place appointed. A great crowd, chiefly
Of the anti Jacksonians, were present, ready
| to sustain Benton in any conduct he might
| adopt on the occasion. UndismAyed by the
| formidable aspect of alfairs-ueven by the
| frownihg visage Of the grim enemy of Jack
! son--Walker took the stand and made one of
his most powerful speeches in favor of the
| Old Hero. Whether it was from regard for
4 his diminptiyeness, respect for his courage,
! or the effect OF, his eloquence, we are unable
TO say but the fact is historical, that he was
not only, listened TO, but was loudly ap-
plauded, and even Jesse Benton agreed 10
liquor with him. Attorney-G Black

dents in Walkers life when he 90 prudently
