NEWS AND MISCELLANY.
Woman POIs0ns Her Husband - The
Murderess Escapes after Committing
the Crime.

tue srtmes
Another terrible chapter has been
added to the annals of crime in this
city. In this instance a woman delib-
erately kills her husband by mixing
with his drink dose of deadly poison.
1t will be remembered that mention
was made In the Journal few days
since of the marriage of q woman NAM
ed Milan to a fellow named Martin
Whelan, the alliance having been con-
tracted while the formers husband was
undergoing a short incarceration in the
CITY Bridswell for commission of a
breach of the peace. Mrs. Milan's
daughter, a young woman sixteen
years of age, Disguised at her mothers
conduct, swore ont warrant for big
amy against her parent and caused her
arrest, but upon the case being called
at the Police Court, the daughter fail
ing to appear, the prisoner was dis
charged from custody.
Now comes the horrible sequel. The
woman returned to the shanty where
she and her husband had been living
for many years, and where her husband
who had been liberated from the Bride
well, was residing with his daughter.
The bigamlst, not satisfied with the
crime of which she had already been
guilty, and finding that having two
husbands, one of whom she hated. was
most unhappy state for woman to
live in, determined to rid herself OF one
of them by fair means or by foul. As
there seemed no prospect of the former
means coming TO hand, the desperate
creature made up her mind to murder
the object of her aversion. and thus
free herself of him in this world for
ever. For some days past Milan has
been drinking very hard and has con-
stantly been in half,inebriated con-
dition. On Monday evening, it seems,
about half past s o'clock, the unhappy
family of father, mother and daughter
were assembled in their abode near the
Armory, Milan engaged in slipping llq-
nor. The daughter saw her mother
put teaspoonful of morphine into her
fathers glass and then mix it well by
stirring. o. her asking her mother
what she was about, the latter replied
to the effect that she wanted to make
Milan sleep soundly. The deadly pol-
son did it's work faithfully. for Milan,
after having unsuspectingly swallowed
the death-dealing compound, never
rallied, and at four o'clock yesterday
afternoon breathed his last.
The guilty woman did not stay at the
side OF her murdered husband until he
had closed his eyes forever, but while
the death-rattle was sounding In his
throat prepared a small package of
clothing. left the house and fied.-Chi-

Terrible Accident Nan and BOy Instant
Nv Killed

We clip the following from the Chi
caeo Republican of the 10th:
A friphtful accident, purely the re-
suit of carelessness, occurred about six
o'clock last evening, a man and boy
being instantly killed by being thrown
from a wagon and run over by a loco
motive. The particulars learned in re-
gard to this heartrending casualty are
meagre, no report having been made
to either the police authorities or to
the Coroner, but the information given
below is substantially correct.
1t appears that during the afternoon
German who resides In the West Di-
vision, started from his r. sidence in
wagon, and with him took in little
boy and girl, the children of neigh
Dor. After transactiug some business
in the outskirts of the southern portion
of the city, the man prepared TO re
turn home. When on Throop street,
near the crossing of the Chicago, Bur
liDgton and Quincy railroad track,
south of Rebecca street, aud at the
intersection of Blue Island avenue, the
driver noticed an engine approaching
from the west, and, being DESTROYS of
crossing the track without interruption,
he whipped his horse into a gallop.
The locomotive was close npOn the We
hicle as it neared the track, and very
rashly the driver of the horses made an
attempt to gain the other side. In al
instant the locomotive, which was run
ming at about the rate of twenty miles
au hour, it is said, had struck the frag-
lie wagon In the middle, dashing it
into infnitesimal atoms, and precipi-
tating the occupants to the track. The
man was struck upon the head by the
pilot of the engine, the driving wheels
afterward grazing his body and fright
fully mangling him. The boy was
thrown a distance of several yards
ahead of the engine. and was almost
cut in twain, the locomotive passing
over his breast. The little girl had
become frightened by the approach of
the engine, and before il struck the
wagon had run toward the front seat.
She was thrown violently to the ground,
but fortunately sustained only slight
Injuries.

An INGENIOUS LITTLE MACHINE for re-
moving the stones from cherries has re-
Gently been brought out In Germany.
It consists of a wheel revolv-
ing on a horizontal axis, in the
periphery of which are depressions
large enough to hold one cherry. Each
cherry is brought by the revolution of
the wheel under a vertical rod, which
being suddenly depressed forces out the
stone through hole in the bottom of
the cavity. The rod returns to its
original position by means of spiral
spring, and at the same time the wheel
is rotated through a portion of reYo-
luton so as to bring the next cherry
under the pricker. 1t is stated that the
machine is capable of stoning one hun
dred cherries per minute, and that the
fruit is not torn in the operation. The
cherries are fed on to the wheel by q
shoot.
