The Wharton Murder.
A Washington dispatch says ::

A Washington dispatch says:
The physicians appointed to analyze the
stomach of Henry Wharton, supposed to
have been poisoned by his mother, have re-
ported and exonerated the latter lady. So
far as their examination goes there were
discovered no traces of poison, nor was
there any substance which would furnish
evidence to criminate any one in this CON
nection The Baltimore american says the
result of the ANALYSIS of the remains OF her
son will have a telling effect upon the senti-
ment of the community, although. as mat
ter of evidence, it is only negative in its
character. All traces of vegetable poisons
would long since have disappeared and a
chemical analysis at this late date can only
show that no appreciate amount OF me-
talic poison remains in the body.
Mrs. Wharton has steadily improved
since her removal to the tower. She is still
weak. however. and seldom leaves her bed.
Her daughter is unremitting in her devo-
ton to her mother, and furnishes an exam
pie of filial affection as rare as it is beauti-

BRUTAL MURDER OF AHOUNG LADY

ing IN His SIeep-He' Confesses His
Crime When Charged With It-Both

Crime When Charged With It-Both
Arrested.
= From the Lafayette, Indiana Journal T. !
The brutal murder of Miss Pardonner, of
Attica. has been the absorbing topic of con-
versation for the last two DAYS in this city,
since the perpetrators of the act have been
ascertained and their arrest secured.s The
principal actor in the bloody affair is a
young man named Oliver Hart, we'll known
in this city as .Dully Hart" said to be a
son of Isaac W. Hart, of Attica, a young
man named Alfred Browning, and the pro
prietor of a lung-testlng machine, whose
name our informant was unable TO learn.
1t appears that.on Thursday night late, the
night after the murder. Hart went to bed
very much under the influence of liquor.
and in his drunken stupor talked IN his
sleep" in the presence OF his wife and
mother-in-law, in such manner as led them
to believe that be was one OF the guilty
parties. The next morning his wife accused
him of the crime, and he confessed it, but
charged her not to say anything about IT.,
threatening heralife if She did, -4AA Z
The dread secret was, however, too much
for her to keep, and in the AFTERNOON she
diyulged it, and Hart was arrested, upon
which he confessed everything. He says
that on the night of the murder he was
watching tile girl while sue was engaged in
milking the COW He threw a clOd of dirt
into her pail, upon seeing which she emptied
il. and went into the house and washed nc
out During her absence he drove the COW
through the alley and to the rear of Rogers
soap factory, the girl following. Arriving
there, Hart approached and struck her on
the head with pair of brass knuckles,
which felled her TO the earth. browning
and the other man tiIen came up, one OF
whom stuffed handkerchief into her
mouth and eholied her. The two latter
then proceeded to violate her person At
the conclusion of their hellish work, they
discovered that their victim was dead.
They took up the body and hid it in a
chicken coop near by, where it remained
until two o'clock in the morning, when
they removed it and deposited it in the
canal, where it was found. Hart was
locked up on Friday night and the others
Saturday morning.
After the facts became known. the town OF
Attica was fearfuliy excited, and there was
strong talk of taking the criminals ont of
the calaboose and hanging them. When
our informant left, the, calaboose was sur
rounded by three or four hundred persons,
who seemed intent on swift and sure pun
-ishment, but it is to be hoped that better
counsel prevailed, and that the law will be
allowed to take its course. Young Hart is
represented as hard boy, and has been so
for several years past. At least be has had
that reputation here, where he is well kncwn
among a certain class. 1t is also said that
he is married to woman whose reputation
was at the time none of the best The other
two parties are not so well known.

Sparkling Kate Stant0n-HOw She Fixed

A good story is told of the sparkling Miss
Kate Stanton, of Providence, Rhode Island
the young lady who is announced to lecture
the coming season on the interesting
subject, Whom to Marry" to this effect:
Some two or three years ago, while residing
in New York, she was importuned by one
of her numerous suitors "a wealthy and
somewhat naughty New Yorker who
thought it honor enough for a queen to
receive his offer( to marry him: and getting
slightly out of patience with his pressing
suit for the twentieth time, she said to him.
John, have declined to accept your offer
for score of times, as delicately as could
but it is of no use. You know like you as
a dear, good friend, and your perseverance
is worthy of reward, gratefully acknow-
ledge. Well, there are at last forty good
men and true on the same plane in my
affections with you. To be perfectly just, /
suppose must accept the first proposer in
point of time, first; when he dies, the next
and so on. You are about the twenty fifth
say, on the list. If you will be patient, and
make me love you, too flor, 1 will marry for
love only) III take You in your turn. Could
you propose more equitable plan!' John
was forced to bow to the justice of Miss
Stanton's proposition, and is said to be
