sdaay aiie Of IN. @ driver .ssuc powser She IS The

H0r' q yesterday to the mayor NE s.asemen, % Of
- husband. Il is q very singular one, and
lhe more so that the man disclaims all knowl-
edge Of any one entertaining enmity toward
ham. About FIVE years ago the husband says
. stranger called at his house and presented a
pSte 70 his wife. IL purported 10 be from her
nusbapd ID, who was then a driver on the 5ih and
eth streets railroad, and requested her to give
the bearer $40 for a man named Larkins. "a
tavern keeper near the depot,) TO be returned
At the end Of the week Mrs. Adams was about
to decline, as her husband sould pot write; but
hIe mark at The side of his name was shown to
her, and she gave The money. The note proved
10 be forgery. About three months after
wards the same man came to her door. She
recognized him, and said, " You are the rascal
who got my money He Immediately seized
mrs Adams by the THROAT and threw her upon
tne noor. severe struggle took place, and
head and face. Some tine afterwards, little
after Rightfall, the same man knocked at the
door, and Mrs. Adams refused 10 open il. The
next morning note, as thus, folded, but not
superscrIbed was found in the entry
Excuse this paper Toby, for your money is
most gone, thought 1 would write you lew
lines before D lett tnese parts TO leave you

wife again will run dagger TO her heart or
poison her Internal eyes from the sockets that
for Larkins the first thing he knows he will
be laying in ashes am of to- might on the iron
horse but may call on you again find me if
you can have as many friends as you"
Nothing further was heard OF the tormenter
until July 90, 1854, when Lieut.. Summers re-
eeiyed letter in which the police were called
smart for not being able 70 discover the visitor.
The writer remarked that ''revenge is sweet"
and "renewed the threat to put Mrs Adams
out oftne way" The police who had before
endeavored TO discover the perpetrators of the
outrage, renewed their efforts, but without
avail On the 23d of September, 1864. while
Hrs. Adams was engaged in putting chickens
into the coop. her prosecutor again turned up.
He struck her on the back of the head and
Knocked her down As she arose he threw
a bag over her head, tied a rope around her
neck and dragged her out to pile of coal. He
then left, supposlng that he had checked her,
md az he went away he was heard TO say live
finished the Job now" Mrs. Adams was
missed from the house, a search was made and
she was found on the coal heap, nearly Insen-
sible from strangulation. The throwing the
caustic powder in the face of the woman is
supposed 70 have bebn done by the same per-
son The detectives have taken the matter in
hand and hope TO discover the guilty party :,
The story is a singular one, but Lieutenant
Street entsrtains no doubt that in every parti.
eular IT is strictly true.-Phild. North American.
