Premeditated Murder Without
Extenuation.

hALouudblUut
From the Chicago Tribune.
The many friends of Mr.. A. D.
Richardson in this part of the couu-
try,will be shocked to hear of the de-
liberate and cold blooded attempt of
one Mcfarland to murder him yester-
day in New York. 1t was subse>
queut to the formal separation, in
which Mcfarland acquiesced, that
Mrs. Mcfarland and Richardson be-
came intimate with and attached to
each other, aud an understanding ex-
listed that, in the the event of her d.
vorce, they should be married. To
secure this di, orce, she has resided
for year past in Indiana, where the
decree was recently obtained in
open court, her father acting as
her principal witness in the case
During those twelve months, Mr..
Richardson and Mrs. Mcfarland have
not once met, so careful were they
not to give the slightest ground for
scandal
Mrs. Mcfarland is a woman of ir-
reproachable and unblemished char
acter, who supported her children and
her worthless, vagabond husband for
years without complaint. and insisted
upon a separation from him only at
last when his outrages could be borne
no longer. His attempt to assassi-
nate Mr.. Richardson, whose footsteps
he has dogged for year and a half,
is utterly without palliation, and was
prompted by no other motive than
blind rage toward the woman to
whom he had forfeited all moral and
legal right, and hatred of the man
whom she had chosen to be her fu-
ture husband. Should Mr.. Richard
son die, a trial will show that the
deed was one Of premeditated mur-
der, without extenuating circumstan-
ces.

The Rochester Chronicle says that
the Erie Canal is now in navigable or

east conveying unprecedented cargoes
at rates that are quite profitable to
the boa:men. 1t is the intention of
the canal authorities to keep the ca
nal open as long as possible, employ
ing ice beats to break the first ice.

Trouble is being had in theWsshing-
ton schools. Much objection is in
terposed to allowing cOlOred children
to attend. In one school little girl
(eOlored) appeared among the schOl-
ars for several days, but the teacher
paid no attention to her, and several
parents removed their children on
her account.
How long will such foolish preiu-
dice survive?
