Tragedy at Marshalltown.


The Marshall Times contains the
following account of tragedy
which was enacted in that town on
Tuesday of last week:
AT about 81 o'clock on Tuesday
evening last, our citizens were
startled by the report that a man
had been shot by his wife. The
particulars as far as we are able to
ascertain, are as follows:
About two weeks since one Geo.
Hanson and wife, hailing from
Minneapolis, Mimi, came to this
city, and were visiting with their
brother-in-law, Mr.. Edwards. On
the evening in question, Hanson
went home under the influence of
liquor, and engaged in quarrel
with his wife about some diamonds
and solver ware, that she had in her
trunk, and which he demanded. Up
on her refusing to give them up, he
became very much enragcd and
knocked her down twice with his
fist. On recovering somewhat from
the blows received, she staggered
to lounge and laid down on it. At
,his juncture his rage increased,
and he sprang toward her with a
knife in his hand and swore that he
would kill her. Seeing that her
life was thus jepardized, she drew
a small revolver which she had
secrcted about her person, and shot
him twice through the head and
once in the body, killing him almost
instantly. Thus terminated one Of
the most fearful tragedies that has
ever occurred in our city.
Geo. Hanson, the victim in the
above tragedy, was thorough vii
in, gambler, drunkard, brute.
The world will suffer no loss by his
leaving it. But in the history of
the wite-if she was a wife-there
is much to condemn, more to pity.
We have known her and her family
almost from her childhood, and
have been cognizant of her career
from bright, innocent and happy
school girl, down through the
gradations of vice and sin, until
now we hear of her as a murderess
with scarce a feeling of surprise.
About the breaking out of the war,
Elizabeth Hart, then a young and
attractive woman, left her fathers
house near Usage, Mitchell county,
Iowa, and entered life of prosti-
tuition with no avowed or apparent
cause or incentive save her own
caprice. No apparent cause, we
say, but she afterward made to her
sister, who demonstrated with her
on her way OF life, revelation so
revolving in itself, and showing
such depth of depravity in the
parent who should have shielded
her from wrong and temptation, rs
to be almost past belief. She ayow-
ed that her father was her seducer,
and that she had fled to escape his
unnatural embraces. 1t is proper
to say that this monstrous revela-
ton is invested with an air of pro-
liability by the character Of her
father, who is notorious as a libcr-
tine and a man of gross SEXUAL
tastes and habits. 1t is accepted as
true by the community in which he
lives. This is the initial chapter
in the record Of her downward
course. Is it strange that her deg
| radiation was swift and sure. And
now that her career has eliminated
in blood, it is proper that this terri
bic accusation against the father,
the remote cause Of her crime and
| its vet unrevcaled consequences,
should be investigated, and dealt
with as it deserves.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES AT Dies
MoINEs.-Thcrc have been pretty
lively movements in newspaper
stock at the capital during the week.
The sale of the .Cfat> Register by
Mills & Co. is announced. The pur-
chasers are c. F., Il. F., and J. S.
Clarkson, the first two of Grundy
county, and the last the present edi-
Tor of the paper. The price paid is
$4,000. The new proprietors take
possession Dec. 9th.
The Statesman has suspended,

Dubuque Xeroid, Evans of the OF

Stcwar; & Co., and the other by Or
Wig & Co, 10 be named the State

The reasons for the sale of the
Rr9ister by Mills & Co. are not Civ
en-, but we think they may be found
Ill the fact that under the present
management the paper is not pay
ing institution. 1t is worthy Of note
that policy which subordinatcd
principle, consistency, and often de-
cencv, to the mere money interest of
the concern. should have failed Of
success even in that direction. We
hope and expect TO see the Rngisier,
relieved from the dictation Of mon
ey getters, assume the high and hon
orabIe position appropriate to it. If
the elder Clarkson. who we suppose
will assume the responsible position
in the concern, will half live up to
the precepts of his admirable adj
dress, before the Sixth District
Press Association, the paper will be
a pride and power in the State. We
wish the new proprietors much sue

Hon. WIN. LARRABEE, of Fayette
county, has been appointed, by the
Secretary of War, as one Of three
commissioners, authorized by act
ofCongress to appraise the value ct
improvements made by the Green
Bay and Mississippi Canal Compa-
ny, which canal forms a part of the
contemplated water communication
between the Lakes and the Missis-
sinpi, known as the Wisconsin
River improvement This appraise
ment and its acceptance by the
Canal Company, are made by the
act, conditional and preliminary, to
any app, opriation by the govern
ment, for the general purpose OF
opening the route.
Mr.. Larabce's selection for this
important trust, is eminentlv appro-
pirate and iudicious. He is clear
headed sagacious business man,
whose practical acquaintance with
the subjects involved in this investi-
cation, will give especial value to
his judgement, while his integrity is
above suspicion.

The announcement: was made this
week that the President had in
structed Secretary Fish to issue a
peremptory order for the return of
Minister Motley, and designating
the Secretary of Legation, Mr.. Mo
ran, to conduct the business of en-
hassy until successor to Mr.. Mot
ley is appointed. Thereupon the
political quidnuncs fell to predict
ing that the minister would not va
cate, but try titles with the Presi-
dent under the Civil Tenure Act.
This mere surmise without tonnda-
ton was suffiaient to cast into cxta-
cies Of delight the small bore Dem
ocratic journals like the Dubuque
Herald, and the .squibs got off on
the occasion were a shade less silly
than usual, because Of the sugges-
ton of a point to them. But Secre-
tary Fish denies that such order for
Mr.. Motley's recall has been issued
and the question Of title IS not pre-
cipitated, no doubt much to the dis
appointment OF The journals afore-
said. But The threatening aspect
of European affairs render it essen
tial that our Government shall have
at the British court, representa-
tive assured Of his own position and
of his relations with the administra-
ton, and it is therefore not unlikely
that Mr.. Motley may be speedily re-
placed by regular appointment.

General War in Europe.

The news from Europe are of
startling Importance. The faint
CLEAN of peace which few days
ago shed its feeble light across the
bloody panorama, is now obscurcd
by blacker and more porteptous
clouds than before. 1t seems hard
ly possible that a general war can
be avoided in which all the princi-
pal powers Of Europe shall be en-
gagged, and from which it is not
probable that all can emerge with
national integrity intact. Russia,
which has apparently been biding
her time, now makes formal de-
mand for the modification of the
treaty of 1856. This treaty was
signed at the close of the Crimean
war by Russia, France, England,
Prussia, Austria, Sardinia, and
Turkey. The Objectionable fea-
lures, which stand in the way of
Russia's opportunity to gobble up
Turkey, and are therefore sought to
be ahrog; ted, are those Which PRO-
vide for the neutrality Of the Bla K
Sea, its waters interiictcd to YES
sells of war of all nations, and by
which Russia and Turkey agree to
neither construct or maintain any
naval or military arsenals upon its
coast. Although this demand by
Russia was not unlocked for, it
created intense excitement and in
dignation in England, and other
states of Europe, parties to the
.ri.inal compact. 1t is charged

Austria, Italy, and Turkey to resist

upon the decision of England,
which would like to preserve the
peace but yet may be compelled to
fight. Her response to the note Of
tie Russian premier is awaited
with great interest. Meanwhile
war preparations are going on on
the most formidable scale.

The following is the Governors
proclamation of Thanksgiving:
AS the year draws to a close we
are reminded of the praiscworthy
custom of our fathers, Of setting
apart Il day of special thanksgiving
and praise to Almighty God, the
great and bountiful Giver Of every
good and perfect gift. Honoring
that venerable custom, and in pur-
suance Of the recommendation of the
nations Chief Magistrate, | desig-
nate
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24TH,
as Thanksgiving Day, and l exhort
the people of Iowa to abstain on
that day from all secular toll, and
with grateful hearts and holy rev
erence, assemble themselves togeth-
err at their several places Of worship,
to recount Gods dealings with them
during the years gone by, and with
the voice of melody praise his holy
name.
The citizens of the growing and
progressive State of Iowa have
special occasion for gratitude to
God that their lines have fallen to
them in such goodly and pleasant
places. With an extent Of territory
sufficient of itself to be the abode OF
a mighty nation, an invigorating
and hcalthfml climate, soil of I'M
surpassed fertility, and every natur-
al advantage that can contribute to
the material comfort and prosperity
of a commonwealth, it is but be-
coming acknowledgment to our
Heavenly Father for all the people
to say, 'The earth is the Lords and
the fullncss thereof. The silver is
his, and the gold is his, and the
cattle on a thousand hills
In reviewing the year we shall
find occasion for gratitude in the
plentiful harvests with which our
fields have been laden; in the fact
that our channels Of trade and com
merce have been greatly multiplied
and enlarged; for the awakcd enter
est which pervades all portions of
the State on the subject of educa-
ton; and for the growth and in
creasing facilities of all our higher
institutions Of learning.
Above all, let us rejoice and give
thanks on that day for the unspeak-
able gift of an open Bible, and a
free Gospel, wherein as a people we
find at last, the adequate source and
reason for all our material greatness
and prosperity, and wherein more
especially we may find eternal life.
Praise is comely, but acts of bene-
ficcncc are more fitting oblations Of
grateful heart. Let "us then,
while thanking God for our many
blessings and comforts, cherish a
tender thought for the poor and un-
fortunate. and attest our gratitude
