ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER IN MOBILE.
We find in the Evening News, of Mon
day, the full particulars of the attempt
Of Jacob Sloughdecker, a q. S. Inter
nal Revenue officer of Mobile, to muir
der his wife. They had been separa-
ted for some time, but at his request
she granted him an interview, and at
his suggestion they took long walk.
At late hour they got to the Railroad
depot, where his wife suggested that
they return.
But the husband prevailed. upon
her to go little further, until she again
insisted on returning, but the husband
persuaded her to keep on until they
come to some place where they could
get something to drink The wife
kept on, and made several efforts to
get her husband to return, but fearing
no danger with him., she walked out, to
a bridge, between the depot and the
Magnolia Yard, which is quite seclu-
ded and lonely. Here the husband
suddenly turned on his helpless wife,
and made the horrible announcement
that she had taken her last step on this
side of the grave He accused her of
adultery, and told her that he would
dispatch her instantly if she gave any
alarm The horror stricken wife went
on her knees, and in the terriblesilence
Of that lonely spot declared before her
God that it was false, and begged him
to name his authority. He drew pis-
toll and commanded her to confess it
before he killed her The wife i'm
plored him to spare her life, and in her
desperation grasped his arm, when he
dropped the pistol and drew large
knife. He attempted to stab her with
it, but again her arm was strengthened
by Providence, and the well directed
efforts of the would-be murderer were
thwarted. ~ - ~.
Finding that both knife and pistol
had failed him, he caught his young
wife by the hair of the head and tried
to choke her to death, at the same time
running his thumb into her right. eye
and gougingit ina. shockingx manner
The unfortunate Gwomano tonight with
desperation fofa her life, and her
screams alarmed the fiehdish hus band.
Uponlooking up from lIisssvietiln, he
beheld stump, or some spectre which
confronted him in his minds magma
ton, and ran off, leaving the PROSTATE
form of his halfsstrangled wife on the
bridge. Shortly after Mrs. Slough
decker recovered = her strength, she
made her way to a neighborings house
and eventually to the Police stations
and told her story, the officers at once
went to the husbands room and found
him in bed, pretending to be asleep.
He said that he had been in bed Two
hours, butthe lady of the house says
he had not been in bed over ten min
'utes. And upon examination his
boots were found covered with q black
mud peculiar, to the locality, of the
spot whereitlfe murder was attempted:
This same black mud was on the wife $
shoes when, found at, the bridge, and
the officers got their boots. covered

Evans, R. W. Grand D. Warden; also
present due representation from the
subordinate Encampment5. The bust
ness of the session was mainly the
restoration of the dormant subordi
nate Encampments, nearly all Of which
were necessarily suspended during the
period of the late war. The ravages
of civil war had seriously disturbed
the regular and continued working of
the subordinate Encampments for a
period of four years since the return
of peace, as yet, but few Of them have
been placed in working condition
The order has lost fearfully in mem
bership and heavily in Lodge property.
Great zeal was manifested by the
several Representatives present and
in attendance on the sessions of
both the Grand Bodies of the Order
at their present meeting, the labors of
which were closed on last evening.
The members return to their homes
stimulated to exertion by appeals on
behalf of the distressed that come up
from our whole land, many of whom
are widows and orphans,a charge upon
the Order.
At the close of the session the fol
lowing Grand Officers were elected fol

punishment much Fighter than under
different circumstances your crime de-
serves. The sentence OF the. Court is
that YOU be fined in the sum of, FIVE
hundred dollars and be imprisoned in
the county Jail for the term of six
months - When this sentence was
pronounced Miss McGowen burst into
tears. She asked her counsel if it was

the county jail, and when Informed
that the verdict of the jury was full
and complete vindication of her char
aeter she desired the Court to remit
the punishment. She said she had no
yindictive feelings against her crimi-
nal accuser; that having no other pro
tector she had appealed to this Court
for protection, and that now by its
Judgment she was fully protected from
all further calumny, she prayed the
Court through her counsel to have
mercy upon the unfortunate being who
had Just been sentenced. When Miss
McGowen's request was made known
to the Court, there was stiffness, a
solemnity, a depth Of feeling, seldom,
if ever witnessed in a court of justice
before. There sat the young, innocent
and injured girl, pleading for mercy
for that old woman who had sought
by her slanderous tongue at home, and
the course of her defence in Court, to
blacken and forever ruin her reputa-
ton, the only patrimony left her by
her dead father and mother. Such
magnanimity is almost beyond human
| conception The Court, the bar, the
audience were moved to silence and
not few to tears-for some moments
the stiffness of death pervaded the as
sembly The Judges were moved by
the petition of the young lady, and the
