Saturday morning about II o'clock there
occurred in the rear portion of Gretna another
one of those horrible murders which has been
so frequent in our midst of late TIE diff
Guilty took pl4ce in an old shanty between a
man named V. Wingarter, and his wife, which
lasted for fully an hour, when Wingart sr, who
was under the influence of liquor grasped a
large sized carving knife that was lying on
the table, and without any warning, struck
his wife a blow, telling her to the ground,
and while she was in that position, cut her
throat from ear to ear, infiicting CHASTITY
wound.
The unfortunate woman lived for three
hours, suffering the most excrucia:ing pain.
Her cries attracted the attention of the police
who bolted into the house and arrested the
assassin. He was taken to the Eighth SUBJ
station, 'Gretna, where he was. locked up. VIM
garter acknowledges having killed his wife.
but refused to give any reason whatsoever for
his barbarous conduct The Coroner was

CHRISTMAS DAY.

Yesterday was Christmas day-Brown and
Jones and Smith and a multitude OF other
men, names unknown, were made aware OF
the fact that it was Christmas day, and that
they had severe headaches at very early
hour this morning. Smith and Jones and
Brown, and the other men got home rather
late the night before, ard had some difficulty
in the first place in opening the door, and
considerable difficulty in the secoud place to
properly dispose of the bundles they carried,
and great deal of difficulty in convincing
"the madame" that they had taken but one
glass of egg-nog.
1t was the little ones who reused Smith and
Jones and Brown so early in the morning
the little ones who wanted to see what "Santa
Claus" had brought, and who seeing, were
rather boisterous- almost as boisterous as
Smith and the rest had been before they
started home-in their expressions of graft
fcation that Santa Claus had come and ex-
pressions of their gratitude for what he had
brought.
Smith and Jones and Brown, and those
whose names are unknown, got up, :" made
believe" that they joined in the joy of the
little ones pretended to eat breakfast, and
started down town for cocktail.
Smith and the balance of the crowd took
their cocktail, and roamed around town
and took several more cocktails, and during
their wanderings they found that the theaters
were full, the churches were full, and wher
they got home again they were informed tina
they were full.
OTHER PEOPLE,
however, enjoyed Christmas Day IN another
way. The attendance at the churches wa
very large, and the services at all OF then

A SAD SUICIDE.
A Victim of Unrequited Love
Takes Poison.
A Letter to a Friend.

Yesterday morning young man named "A.
r. Stephauser, one of the boarders at Mrs.
S7lyesters house in Algiers did not put in
an appearance at the breakfast table. The
LADY of the house, thinking that he had over
slept himself, sent a servant to his room 10
wake him up. Repeated knocks at his door
failed to elicit response from the occupant
The door was forced open by the inmates OF
the house, when it was discovered that STEM
hauser was lying dead in his bed.
An examination of the room by the horrl-
fed spectators developed the fact that he had
committed suicide by taking poison. A bot
lie WAS found on table near his bedside,
which had contained the fatal dose. La an
o,ber part of the room was found package
addressed to young lady acquaintance, re-
siding in Algiers, and the following open let

THE LITTLE WOMAN IN A RED
CLOAK.
The Mystery Of the Parish Prison.

The Parish Prison, or rather the building once
entirely occupied by the criminals of our city, is
now divided in two, and the northern side has
been given up to the officers of the Fourth Me
tropoitan Precinct, for station-house, in which
to lodge prisoners before their arraignment.
Wby it is that such a dread should hang about
this latter portion we cannot say; but so we'll
known is this dread of criminals against being
locked up the they frequently go beyond the
limits of the precinct before transgressing the
law.
II appears, a number of years ago, an OLD
woman. clad in a ragged calico dress, was locked
M there charged with being drunk and disturb
ing the peace. During the night, she, with the
strips from her dress, managed to suspend heI>
self TO the iron bars OF the window until life was
extinct. Since that time, pail seems to hang
over the place. and it was but short time after
wards. when in the same cell, another prisoner
attempted to take his own life.
After he had been cut down and brought back
to life this would-be suicide stated that there had
appeared to him this same old woman with the
red cloak, and it was due to her persuasion that
he attempted suicide. This report spread, and
superstitlous people began to wink AMI nod, as
much as SAYING: 81 told you So" The turkeys
knew of the dread existing about these cells, and
40. to put the matter to crucial test, when two
Engl. h sailors were brought In drunk they put
them in the haunted cell in order to thoroughly
put the ghost matter at rest.
singular to say the two sailors hung them
selves that night, and the turkeys who were
watching cut them down in time to save then
lives. Since that time fully twelve persons have
taken their lives in this pace. In fact, 80 strong
has the belief become, it was deemed necessary
to nail up the door of No. II, so that no more
prisoners might follow the unfortunates who hao
seemingly followed the beckonings OF the mys
| terious cold woman in a red cloak"
But few nights since patrolman passing
| into the yard thought he saw figure moving
along the gallery, on which the cells open. H'
at once went up stairs, and although he saw
feeting shadow, nothing was found With iii
other mysterious stories about this place, 1t i
related that some three weeks ago prisoner
who had been locked up for fighting, suddenl
made his appearance down stairs in the office
and when questioned az to how he had broke
ont. said that an old woman, in red cloak, ha
looked through the bars, unlocked the door, an
told him to go home
How much of all this is true we have no mean
of knowing, but one thing is evident, that a
the officers are satisfied that any prisoner locke
ND in No. II will before day attempt suicide.

A CENTENNIAL SESSION or CONGRESS.
Philadel phia people have struck new idea
in their centennial fever, and are now quletiy
suggesting to members of Congress the pro-
prlety of holding session OF that BODY In
the old stateHouse in Philadelphia t on the
Fourth of July, 1876. There seems mighty
little prospect of Congress adjournlng before
that date, and there would not be any OBJ
stacle to that body lending itself for one day
as sort Of side show to the centennial aoVer,
Using exhibition, if its members are disposed
to hu nor this concelt.
the provision requiring the meetings of
Congress to be in the City OF Washington Is
not q constitutional, but statutory enact
ment and it would be possible by special law
10 make session in Philadelphia perfectly
legal and formal. If, however, that is not re-
earded as proper, the Philadelphians plead
for an informal session with due display of
patriotic pyrotechnics and Columbian oratory.
| They are hard at work, and no doubt will
carry their point, if the hot weather don't
send Congressman home betor the Fourth

Let fierce and bitter hatred be
The burden Of my song.

Let all the fiends of earth and hell
Assist my ranking ire.

With adherence fierce and mad;
Let all the ills of life be thine,
Then I'll be glad-how glad
hate thee, oh l hate thee
With my soul and mind and heart;

When we forever part

Let every joy thy soul forsake
As you forsook me here.
I curse thee, now curse thee
In this the parting hour,
Let malediction's fiercest stroke
Thy happiest thoughts o'e.power.
I curse thee, still I curse thee
With stern relentless tongue;
Let thy children rue their natal hour
And the womb from whence they re spruni
I curse thee, aye, curse thee,
Remember it henceforth
Let my image ever present be
To scourge thee with remorse.
Ten thousand times curse thee,
With all the rage Of hell,
Let memory keep this curse Of mine,
