A WIFE NEARLY MURDERED.-On
Thursday night about 8 O'Clock Washing.
ton Jones, who resides in the vicinity oi
Haws' shop, Hanover, eight miles from the
Courthouse, was heard by passing colored
man crying murder at his frontldoor. The
man, Sam Simpson, attracted by the
sound, approached the door and asked
Jones what was the matter. He stated
that sons one was in the house and
had murdered his wife, and said to the
man come IN. He replied, 'sT am afraid to
do So" Jones rejoined, "Coms in the
house, there is no one in the house to hurt
you" He entered, when Jones said to him,
NIwant you togo ind see ifmy wife Is dead. 4
The party thus instructed made an exami-
nation and found thewoman lying on the bed
with two cuts across her forehead which
were evidently done with an axe. Mrs.
Jones was alive and he SO reported
to the old man. Mrs. Jones
said to the man, mo negro has killed me,
but Mr.. Jones did it." On hearing this
Jones retreated to an upper room and
locked himself in. The neighbors were
summoned, and Jones was put under ar
rest at his own house.
The doctors say TINT Mrs. Jones cannot
possibly recover. The wounds, which
were inflicted by new AK recently pur-
chased by Jones, presented CHASTITY
appearance. Her age is 80 years and that
Of her husband so.
The motive for the crime is unknown.
He is drinking man, and it is supposed
be was under the influence Of liquor. The
parties are both wealthy.

we have conceded to the Democracy radi-
cal changes. Arkansas is yielded wholly
to them, for in the present condition OF
affairs rebels have full sway there: but in
Alabama. louisiana and Mississippi. unless
White League violence and assassination
SHALL drive the blacks from the polls. the
Republicans will do better than we have
estimated New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania viii De most earnestly con-
tested BY either party, and we think even
then allowance ia made in our table for all
changes likely TO be gained by the enemy.
Capital and labor in those States will have
a tair chance to state whether or not they
are ready to turn the control Of the finances
of the nation over to the party which tor
four years tried to destroy the government
itself, and afterward to undermine Its
credit. Sane men do not often commit
suicide, and that is what the capitalists and
laborers of those States would do Ii, by
their votes. they should throw the next
House of Representatives into the hands Of
the national Democracy.-Chtcago Inter
