SUDDEN DEATH.-At q late hour last
night there occurred at the residence of
Judge Cross the death of an estimable
and highly esteemed lady, Mrs. j.. B.
ridden. The deceased had been
troubled much during the past two
years by pains In her limbs, which she
and her friends attributed to rheumatic
affection, but which it Is now claimed
were caused by neuralgia. This insid-
iouS and terrible aifiction apparently
suddenly pervaded her whole system,
and finally and without warning set
tied in her chest. On retiring ut her
usual hour last night her condition
gave no indication of the fatal effects
Of her ailment so soon afterward to
ensue. Feeling unusually unwell after
retiring she summoned assistance, and
after suffering intense pain for three
quarters of ali hour, death terminated
all. phis lady maintained the Man.
sion House In this city from 1855 till
about 1862, and afterward the st.
George until 1866. She was q model
housekeeper, and required that all I'M
der her roof should always comport
themselves with propriety and deco
rum, and they all complied while un-
der her supervision. She spent the
last six weeks of her life in this city,
and intended to remain during the
Summer, but death has Frustrated all
plans for her physical comfort.-Sdc

MCGOWAN. the Fighter from hell"
as he styles himself, was liberated, or
rather b%anished, from Eureka, and
went to White Pine. The Nelps, just

against life and property: This wild

he always does return. For two years
he has a~lternated between the jails of

A Rev.ldag Case In C.n.eesieus.

HARTFORD, April pa trial, most
sickening In Its details, began In the
Superior Court Of Litchfield county
yesterday, being that Of Joel w. Per-
kins, of Cornwall, for incest and muir
der. The man was arrested two months
ago, since which time the most shock
ing developments have come to light.
During ten years Perkins has been
guilty of incest with six daughters,
using compulsion In each case. me
eldest daughter Is now twenty-eight
years old, and has given birth to five
children, the result Of her fathers I'M
natural crime. Two of these children
are living, one having been born since
Perkins arrest. The other three, 1t Is
believed, were murdered Immediately
after birth. The girl testifies that she
never saw them, but heard cries before
her father took them from the room.
In the case of another daughter, n
child was born and did not survive. A
third daughter Is now enceinte. The
wife of accused died two or three
weeks ago, Of paralysis. Perkins Is
tifty-four years old, has always lived
In Litchfeld county, and worked rs q
wheelwright and blacksmith. Though
apparently intelligent, and capable Of
holding a good position in the commu-
nifty, lie has kept his family aloof from
society, and denied them the priyl-
leges Of schools and church, and lived
In abject sQualor and poverty.
A reporter of the COwdnt interviewed
Perkins to-day, and he confessed his
criminal intimacy with his daughters,
but denied having taken the life Of his
offspring. and said that with two Of his
daughters he has had no intimacy. lie
asserts that his wife had knowledge Of
his crimes, and encouraged them, and
that his daughters invited them. He
has read the Scriptures since he has
been In jail, but says he never read
the Bible before, mol much Of anything
else. He says he did not know there
wa any law against such practices as
his, moi that there was anything In the
Scriptures condemning them. The
daughters say that their father has
compelled them to accede to his
wishes, under threats that he would
kill them If they refused or divulged.
He began his practices when they were
thirteen years of age. All tho daugll-
tiers will testify on tho trial.
