EGg-On Thursday morning last, woman
named Mary Conner threw a bowl, contain
ing pound Of vitriol, in the face of a man
keeping a millinery establishment on Hi
nois street, north of Washington. It ap-
pers that the man (Barger) had been living
with the woman Connor for several years
but had left her and married another,
which had so eXasperated his former mis-
trpss, that she framed and perpetrated this
fendish deed of vengeance, which has no
example in the annals of the worlds horrors.
Tie vitriol, Of course, took immediate eff
feet, peeling the skin from his face, destroy
ing whiskers, eyebrows and eye-lashes.-
One eye was instantly made sightless, and
the other, in all probability, will be eventu-
ally destroyed. The woman was arrested
last night at Bridgeport, where she had
gone to take the cars.-IndiandPolis Union

The celebrated ELS worth will case = as
finally disposed of at the last term u tho
Circuit Court held i'll White county, by the
entry Of decree, to which ali parties hay
ing an interest in Mr.. Ellsworth estate, as
heirs at law, or legatees named in the wills
OF 1851 and 1857, were parties, and con-
scented.
By the compromise, Yale College settled
with all the legatees except Wabash Col
lege and Mrs. Beard, and received a convey
ance, made by the heirs at law, to her
treasurer, of lands valued at ninety thous-
and dollars. The heirs settled with Wa
bash College in lands valued at twenty
thousand dollars, and with Mrs Beard bv
paying her the amount given her by the
terms of the will of 1851.
The decree sets asi lie both wills, and the
legal title to all the real estate becomes
therefore vested in the heirs at law. The
value of the real estate remaining to them
by the settlement, is said to exceed three
hundred thousand dollars, besides large con-
| tingent interests in lands held by other par
| ties and as the amount of personal prop
erty (inventoried at S17s,O00l is much
greater than all the debts and liabilities Of
the estate, the nett amount received by the
heirs is nearly, if not quite, equal to what
| they would have taken under the will
! of 1881.
This case furnishes one of those rare in
stances sometimes met with, of heirs re-
forming the disposition of property made
by their ancestor. The will of 1851 hav-
ing made a discrimination in favor of some
of the heirs, the preferenced parties, by
consenting to have that will set aside, al
lowed the estate to descend to all the heirs
according to their natural rights.
We also learn that the heirs have already
made an amicable and satisfactory partition
of the real estate among themselves, with
out the Intervention of Courts or arbitra-
tors.-LGfayett< Courier.

TOPEKA & EmpoR1A R. r..

We call attention to an article in another
column, from the Emporia NesOs, on this
subject. The suggestions are timely, and
should meet with the prompt consideration
of all interested. 1t is true that the coun-
try is now deeply embarrassed, and that it
would Re impossible, at present, to accom-
plish anything in the way of construction,
but if we may judge of the present strin-
gency by the history of financial revulsions
in this country, we must conclude that the
present state of things is by no means en-
during; we have every promise of abundant
crops here, as two dry seasons were never
known to occur in succession; we have ev-
cry reason TO expect prompt and uncondi-
tional admission into the Union next winter,
and these two circumstances alone, will place
us in a condition to prosecute with vigor
the various railroad and other enterprises
which have been projected, especially if
they promise TO be paying ones, ike that to
Emporia. Under this view, then, it is time
that some demonstration were made towards
putting this enterprise upon footing which
will secure for it the attention of the public
and of capitalists, wherever the condition
of the money market will permit. Let
Books be opened and stock subscribed, and
if possible, preliminary survey of the
route be made; and then. if grant of land
shall be made by the next Congress to the
State. for the benefit of Railroads, which is
more than likely. this road viii be in con-
dition to demand its quota of that assist

The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1860-06-23

The latest news from Washington con-
corning the Kansas bill is. that the Demo
cratic Senate Caucus have voted to agree to
the House bill for the admission of Kansas
with an amendment. changing the bounda-
ries and referring the Constitution back to
the people for another election. This is a
mere paltry subterfuge. Everybody knows,
and nobody better than the o. S. Senate.
that the inhabitants of the Pixies Peak re-
gion are, to man, opposed to being at
tacked to Eastern Kaneas; and large ma
iority of the people of Eastern Kansas are
as infexibly opposed to any union with the
Western portion. They know that if they
refer it back to the people. the people will
vote to retain the boundaries as prescribed
by the Wyandott Constitution. They de-
cided SO once, and they will do go again.
Nobody will be fooled by this trick of the
Senate. We all understand that the ques-
ton is not one of boundaries. The Senate
might as well reject the bill at once and be
done with it.
