s" MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE

i" MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE"
Under this heading the Press and
Herald recently copied from an At
lanta (Ga.) paper a sensationally Jen-
kinsized notice of the marriage of
Mr.. V. H. Sturm to an accomplished
and noted Georgia belle. This mar
riage has been the subject of much
gossip and astonishment. Sturm is
we'll known in this section of East
Tennessee, having at one time had
a dozen stores running in Clai-
borne county. He failed, however,
in his business in Claiborne, and re-
moved to Knoxville, where he open
ed an extensive Tea Hong and fam
lily grocery store, and soon built up
large trade. His wife and little
daughter constituted his family and
it was understood the capital he had
invested in the store belonged to his
wife. From some cause, his venture
in Knoxville was brought to a close,
and within the last two months he
visited this town as drummer for q
Louisville liquor house. The report
of his marriage in Georgia astonish-
ed those acquainted with him, as no
information of the death or divorce
of his first wife had been given. 1t
turns out that the first Mrs. ". II.
Sturm is still resident of Knoxville,
and yet claims to be the lawful wife
of the distinguished hero. She pub
fishes the following card in the Press
and Herald. There is a cucumber

THE BEECHER SCANDAL.

During the past few days the excite
ment in regard to this disagreeable mat
ter has reached a height heretofore un-
known. Tilton came out with a
statement, which he presented to the in
vestigating committee now setting for
the purpose of aseertaining the truth in
regard to the scandal, and accused Beech
er of criminal intimacy with his wife.
He gives the times and places when and
where the wrong was done, and produces
letters and statements, which taken to-
gether, constitute pretty good proof
against Beecher. But Mr.. Beecher came
out in a day or two with statement de-
nying the whole charge, and declaring
1T to be false in every particular. In the
meantime the committee, which MIR.
Beecher asked to be formed to inyesti-
gate the whole matter, are at work get

Would it not be well for the Farmer
or some Of the other papers that are suf-
fering so severely from the effects of
''Poland's press-gag-law." to give their
readers the text of the law, and such ex-
plantations as will enable them to under
stand fully the scope of the law, and its
effects on the press and the county. If
Judge Poland has been instrumental in
muzzling the press, by introducing bill
into congress that makes libel, by a
Washington newspaper correspondent,
an offence that may be punishable at
Washington, the learned Judge must be
looked after. Those press fellows must
write sensational letters, and if they find
or make dearth of truth, they must
fill their letters with such gossip and
scandal as they can invent, and the pres
ident congressman and other functiona-
ries must grin and bear it, when the
blows fall on them, without redress by
law. Strange that Representative Poland
could perpetrate such thing upon the
press and upon the county, just at this
time when we are suffering from the ef-
fects of a great rebellion and severe
financial collapse Let the voters Of
the second district arise in their might,
and rebuke their member of congress.

ROWING AND ROWING.

Week before last, several of the crack
college crews in the country participated
in rowing match at Saratoga. The
whole sporting fraternity. the friends
of the several colleges, and thousands
of others assembled to witness the boat
ing races. The weather was unpropi-
tious, and the University race was post
poned from day to day until the patience
of the visitors, as well as their friends
were well nigh exhausted. Some re-
manned. The race finally came off on
Saturday and the two crews Yale and
Harvard which have had many spirited
contests, each to be beaten in turn by
the other, got up row that was not
pleasant. They ran their boats into
each other, broke oars and rudders, swore
and raved, and Yale left the field refus-
ing to finish the race. The other crews
kept on and the Columbia crew of New
York won. The excitement about this
fight on the water is great among the
boatmen, and the friends of the two col
leges feel a chagrin at the unfortunate
affair. If it shall be the means of break
ing up these college rowing contests it
will be we'll There are chances enough
to develope muscle, and to get good phys
ical training by our college students,
without being to the expense of getting
up college pull fights, or what are about
the same, from year to year. This style
of trying muscle ministers to a bad taste
and has already been the cause of much
trouble. Let college students strive to
make intellectual progress and superior

eys, pugilists and oarsmen, not connect
ed with colleges, get up the rowing and

races, or rows in order to be happy.

THE BOY FIEND.

Last spring, 1t Will be remembered,
small boy was found in a dying condi-
ton, in a marsh at Dorchester, near Bos-
ton, terribly mutilated by what appear
ed to be common Jackknife The muir
dered child's name was Millen. Suspi-
cion rested on boy of about fourteen
years of age by the name of Jesse Pome-
roy. He was arrested, and he made a
confession that he committed the deed,
but he afterwards denied that he muir
dered the boy. A short time previous
to this tragedy, little girl by the name
of Katie Curran, left her home in South
Boston, to visit store near by, to make
a purchase of some small article. She
did not return, and after being sought
after by her parents without being found,
the police and detectives took the case
and undertook to find the missing girl.
She could not be found, and it was sus-
pected that this boy, Pomeroy, might
know something about her. His mother
kept small store near by, and the boy,
Jesse, opened the store in the morning,
before he went to his work as newsboy.
An examination of the premises about
the store, elected nothing at the time
but few days since, another examina-
ton was made, and in small cellar be-
meath the building; in one corner, COW
cred entirely over with ashes and other
rubbish, the decayed remains of Katie
Curran were found. The Pomeroy boy
was visited in prison, where he awaits
trial for the murder of the Millen boy.
and finally confessed that he murdered
both of the children. He says he was
in the store in the morning alone, and
when Katie stepped in, he told her that
the article she wanted was in the cellar,
and she accompanied him there after it.
No sooner had he closed the door than
he sprang upon her, thrust his knife in
to her neck and killed her at once. He
then hid and buried the body, washed
the blood from his knife and hands, and
left the store for his work In regard
to the little boy that he murdered, he
says that he saw him on the street, and
felt desire to kill him, and SO coax
ed him off to the marsh where no ont
would see him, when, with the same
knife, he began to hack away at the lit
tie victim. He finally. after having salts
fed his fiendish desire for torture anG
blood, left him in a dying condition
This fend boy says he cannot tell why
he did the deeds, but that he could MOI

human depravity, and physicians ant
learned men are trying to discover wha

KIDNAPPING IN PHILADELPHIA.
A few DAYS ago two young boys, viii

A few days ago two young boys, while
playing on the streets in Philadelphia,
were overtaken by some men IN car
rage, who invited them to ride. The
boys were brothers, sons of Mr.. Christie
pher Ross, merchandise younger
about four years, and the other several
years older. After driving about the
streets, on reaching secluded place,
the older of the two boys was set down
from the carriage, and the men drove
off with the other Since that time
nothing has been seen of the little fellow.
and nothing has been learned as to his
whereabouts. HIS captors, however,
who have modelled their system after
the Italian banditti, claim d ransom for
his return, and threaten to take his life
if their demands are not granted. They
have carried on correspondence with
| Mr.. Ross, the father. through the per-
sonal column of the Ledger, offering to
release the boy for $4,000; and the
advertisement we have quoted, couched
in the '.rouge's English" employed by
the scoundrels, is the response from the
afflicted father acquiescing in this extor-
tionate demand. All this reads like a
| page from a romance, or a record of
crime IL the lawless regions of Italy or
| Spain but it is the narrative of an act
ual occurrence in one of our largest cit
les, the kidnapping being accomplished
in the open street in broad daylight, and
the captors actually making the news
papers the vehicle for communicating
their offers and threats. The distress
of the parents, bereaved of their child
by such bold and cruel outrage, and
left in doubt as to its condition and the
ingenuity of the scoundrels in wringing
from the parents such an enormous ran
som under the threats of numbering the
child, are notpleasant things to contem-
plate, in this land of fancied security
and vigilant police organization.

RAILROAD COM MISSIONER.

Among the officers of the state, is a
Railroad Commissioner, whose duty is
"to inquire into and report biennally to
the Legislature any neglect or infringe
ment of the laws, for the regulation of
railroads, by the officers, employees, or
agents of such roads" This officer holds
position that might, and should be, of
Importance to the state. He might, by
making proper Investigations, discover
some abuses that could be corrected, and
certain things in railroad management
that might be altered to the advantage
of railroad patrons, while the railroad
interest did not suffer. The law under
takes to prevent determinations in freight
tariff. but the law in regard to this is
entirely ignored the law would have
freight saloons so made as to protect
train hands from the danger of being
knocked off the side of cars by bridges !;
the law would have old bridges altered,
and new ones made so that they should
be so high and wide as not to be liable
to kill brakemen; but these regulations
are not very generally complied with. A
commissioner might look after these
things and make such report as would
be interesting and useful. But he is
paid five or six hundred dollars year,
takes ride or two over each road, gets
together the various statistics and fnan-
cial reports that are furnished him by
the several roads, and makes few COM
ments favorable to railroad management,
and considers his duties complete. The
law requires that the railroads of the
state pay the salary of this commission
er. This is all wrong. If the people
of the state need commissioner, they
are able to pay for one and to own one
The railroads have their superintendent
and their roadmasters, and they pay
their salaries, and ought not to be re.
quired to pay a commissioner, who is
chosen by the Legislature to look after
the interests of the people.

he boarded, and married her. They did
not live happily, and Jones deserted his
wife several times, alleging that she was
unfaithful. They became reconciled and
lived together again. About three weeks
ago they had fercer quarrel than usual.
Jones went away and did not return
again until last Saturday. He had been
in the coal regions, and told friend of
his that he had received letter while
away saying that his wife was about to
elope with another man, and he had re-
turned to stop it. On Saturday night
he went to where she was staying, pro-
ceeded to her room, and after the two
had quarrelled for some time, with a
long carving knife he cut her throat as
she lay in bed. Then he thrust the
knife into his own stomach, and ran the
handle forcibly agpinst the wall, driving
the blade entirely through his body.
