Rum and Wife Murder.

Thomas Lowndes murdered his wife,
Margaret, on the afternoon of the Sth
instant, in their tenement rooms in
the rear Of 245 North Fifth street, Will
liamsburgh, New York. Both were in
liquor and were quarrelsome. Lowndes
is blacksmith by trade. He received
his wages on the previous day, went
home, and he and his wife were both
drunk in the evening.
On the morning of the fatal occur
renee at breakfast they quareled and
he went to a saloon near by and drank.
He returned to his rooms about |
o'clock, and meeting his wife in the
narrow front room, caught hold of her
and threw her to the floor. They
struggled, and she fought him. He
reached worn sheathknife from the
table and stabbed her three times;
once on the head, once in the breast,
and once in the abdomen. He sat
down on low sofa i'm the room and
watched his wife as she died. His
sons, Tommy and John, aged nine and
six years, were with him. He gave
Tommy money to get liquor: and after
drinking it he went to sleep in the
windowless little bedroom, and lay in
q drunken stupor for an hour or more.
The boys did not leave the room
while their father was asleep. AS he
aroused he asked Tommy where his
mother was. The son said she was on
the floor. He asked the son if she was
dead, and shook the dead body as
though to wake it. He called a Mrs.
Armstrong, who lives on the second
floor of the same building. AS she
entered the room and saw the dead
body on the floor, she tainted. The
husband then ran out of the house,
took a drink of whisky in q saloon
near by, and wandered off, The po-
lice were informed, and an officer took
charge of the body and guarded the
rooms. The entire force turned out,
and on the slight description that the
sons could give of their father began
to scour the neighboring streets.
Lowndes strolled back to the street of
the murder, and stood at the entrance
of the narrow, dark alley that leads to
the tenement. Some boys ran to
Officer Kelley and told him, but Lown-
DIES was gone when the officer reach
ed the alley. He started to fol-
low HlHu up, anu, alIei IOHS search,
arrested him at 8 o'clock at North
Sixth and Seventeenth streets. He
struggled to free himself at first, but
soon quietly submitted, and, followed
by large troop of men and boys, he
was taken to the Police Station. He
stood boldly up at the rail of the Ser
geant's desk and spelled out his name
slowly as the Sergeant wrote it down.
He said his birth is English, and that
he is thirty-three years of age. He
was locked up in the dark cell. He
refused to see anyone or say anything
about his crime. He Rugged one cor
ner of his cell and seemed utterly UNI
conscious of what he had done.
At midnight the same evening, in
the two-story frame house where the
wife was murdered, nine aged women
and three men sat in silence in the
little room. A black-eyed man held a
tallow candle above his head, lowered
the sheet, and pointed out the fatal
black mark on the abdomen to the
friends of the family. ''They always
quarreled and fought when they got
drunk" was his only explanation.

Tree Planting.

The necessity of planting trees can
not be kept too constantly before the
farmers of the country, and especially
those of California. In our State the
forests are rapidly disappearing before
the lumberman, and it behooves us to
take time by the forelock and make
provision for those that are to come
after.
The rapidity with which the forests
arc going down is startling. In Min
nesota and Wisconsin, during the past
year for instance, in the neighborhood
of $4,000 acres of pine were cut for
building purposes alone. In Michigan
during the same period the produc-
ton of lumber was about $500, 900
feet which involved a stripping of
100000 acres of land.
California has especial need of pru-
dence. Her main supply of lumber
lies in her redwoods, and the rate at
which they are going down is very
rapid. There is only thin strip of
timber upon the coast-seldom extend
ing as far as twenty miles inlard and
frequently not more than five-run-
ming from the Bay of Monterey to the
Oregon line. 1T has been calculated
that at the present rate of destruction
two generations will see the last of the
redwoods. 1t is true that the stumps
send up shoots that grow very rapidly,
but this cannot supply the waste.
Within the lifetime of the present
generation the scarcity and high price
Of lumber will surely be felt.
1t is gratifying sign that the far
mers are beginning to realize in a
measure the Importance of this sub
iect, and from various parts of the
Coast we hear of enterprise moving in
the right direction. The rapid growth
and sanitary qualities of the eucalyp-
tus are strong recommendation in it's
favor. The wood is tough and hard,
being suitable for the ordinary build
ing purposes and firewood. A notable
experiment made near Hayward, Ala
media county, by Surveyor-General
Stratton will go a great way towards
bringing about general introduction
of the eucalyptus. Four years ago he
set out about $50 acres with these trees.
Already many of them are from forty
to fifty feet high and foot in dame
ter. The sale of young trees from the
nursery has more than paid the ex-
penses already. A few years hence
the value of these groves will be enor-
nous. The daily growth is now cal
culated to net $40 to the owner. Facts
like these are better than all the theo-
ries in the world and will not be lost
upon our farmers. 1t is a matter the
Changers should interest themselves
in.-[Rea Estate Reporter.

The San Diego Union of the 10Th
says: The San Diego river continues
to run high and the water Mt the cross
ing is very deep. The quicksands. at
the bottom make the attempt to cross
with teams exceedingly difficult, and
indeed, hazardous. Yesterday morn
ing the stage for Los Angeles was
caught in the quicksand while cross
ing, in the middle of the stream and
one of Seeley's horses narrowly es-
capped drowning. 1t was with, the
greatest difficulty and with the aid Of
ropes and the boats that the team was
saved. Several teams from the west
ern part of the county and from Julian
City are on the west bank of the river
unable to cross. Old residents say
that the river is likely to run through
out the year.

lard and ferule, who drove pedler's
wagon, using a mulleinstalk as an instra-
ment of coercion, TO tyrannize over his
pony shod with calks. He was Galilean
Sadducee, and he had a phthisicky catarrh,
diphtheria, and the bilious intermittent
erysipelas. A certain sibyl, with the so
briquet Of Gypsy" went into ectasies Of
cachinnation at seeing him measure out a
bushel of pease, taking up two peas at a
time, and try to separate saccharine toma-
toes from heap Of peeled potatoes, with
out dyeiug or singeiag the ignitible queue
which he wore, orbecomiug paralyzed with
hemorrhage. Lifting her eyes to the
ceiling Of the cupola of the Capitol te
conceal her unparalleled embarrassment
making an awkward courtesy and moi

WEsTMNsTER, MD sATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 2e 1s74

In few moments the young lady ap-
peared, and Don Sebastian beckoned her
to approach. Then turning towards Pa
bio, he said
"Senor, ! have little proposition to
make you, which you must not refuse. /
wish you TO marry. | have selected
good match for You. The young lady has
beauty and some property. Here she is"
Pablo's emotion and Joy may be better
imagined than expressed. He was on the
point Of throwing himself at the feet Of
the alcalde to express his gratitude, when
the magistrate sternly bid him arise.
The following day Don Sebastian gave
a grand fete, and announced to his guests
that they were assembled to witness the
marriage Of his daughter with Senior Pablo
Montez. The consternation this speech
caused sOt the table in buzz All eyes
were turned upon the young man, who sat
at the alcalde's right hand, and some looks,
not at all gracious, were directed towards
him.
The yesper bells had not ruug when the
bridal party issued from the alcalde's gate
and entered the church not square dis
tant. When the ceremony was over, Don
Sebastian embraced the couple, saying:
81 am sleepy, my children, and must go
home. Pablo, take your wife to your own
house we shall see one another often"
Pablo at first smiled aud thought this
was one Of the alcaldes jokes, but he soon
found that his father-in-law was serious.
Therefore he took his bride to his humble
lodgings, and 'he appeared perfectly con
tent, for she loved her husband. Here
she lived, never complaining, and forget
ting the past splendor other fathers house,
she bent her mind to make her lowly home
happy.
Eor two years Pablo struggled to sup
port his wife and was barely able to sue
ceed. During this period Don Sebastian
had never offered them any assistance or
even sympathy in their poverty. The
anxiety of the pair daily increased, aud
Rosa, for the first time, shed some tears.
The anniversary of the alcalde's birth
day arrived, and Pablo and his wife at.
tended the dinner. Their hearts were sad,
for they were becoming poorer each day
they lived.
At eventide, when they were about to
return TO their home, Don Sebastian called
out:
"Stop, my children have forgotten
something" and he handed Pablo pack
age. "Look at it when you get home.
Good night"
By the light Of their lamp that evening
Pablo and his wife read the deeds which
made them the pOssessors Of three Of the
finest estates in the country, the value Of
which was nearly quarter Of million of
dollars. This last joke Of the alcalde was
the most acceptable he ever played upon
Pablo MonteE.
From that day forward the young man
rose step by step, aided by the powerful
influence of his father-in-law. He never
blushed at the recollection of his poverty.
On the contrary, he took pleasure inrclat-
ing to his children the singular events to
which he owed his prosperity.
