DEATH ON THE ALTAR.
A Beautiful Young Lady Sacri-
fees Herself and Marks Out
Her Grave.

Crissey Hooker, a religions fanatic
burned herself to death at Whites
Valley, Wayne county, Pennsylva
MIA, last week. She was young and
! accomplished woman, the daughter
Of William Hooker, wealthy farmer
OF the above place. She had for five
or six years labored at intervals un.
der the hallucination that she had
committed grevious sin against what
she termed cher Immanuel,' and
was in the habit of building altars in
her fathers fields and sacrificing
lambs as burnt offering to appease
the wrath Of her offended deity.
Mr.. Hooker went to Carbondale
after a load of coal. His daughter
having manifested signs of a recur-
renee of her insanity, he left a hired
man to look after her, her mother be-
ing dead. The man went away at
noon and did not return to the house.
Mr.. Hooker came back at about 2
o'clock in the afternoon. Entering
the kitchen of his house, he was hor-
rifed to find the body Of his daugh
ter lying on the Goals and ashes of
what had been one of her affairs, and
burned to a crisp. Her face and the
upper part of her body alone had cs-
capped. She had constructed the al
tar, or pyre. out Of a set of quilting
frames. She had torn up a portion
of the carpet, and laid it on the al
tar, and made a pillow for her head
She reclined on her right side, and
her cheek was resting on her hand.
Notwithstanding the intense ago.
ny she must have endured, her face
wore a calm and peaceful expression,
and there was a smile upon her lips.
In the family Bible, which was
found lying on the parlor table open
at the Book of Job. was the follow
ing note. addressed to her father:
Dear Father: My Emmanuel ap-
peared to me to-day. He reveals to
me that have committed the Un-
pardonable Sin which I can only OBJ
tain forgiveness for by passing
through the cleansing of fire. l will
intercede for you, my dear Father.
You will find my purified blood in
the northeast corner of the house. /
wish to have my ashes buried in my
Immanuers ground at the northwest
corner of the house. Goodbye.
Meet nae in the Eternal Ground.
CRIssEY.
Mr.. Hooker went to the corner of
the house indicated in the note as
the spot where the remains were to
be buried, and found that his daugh-
ter had staked out a space for her
grave.

A Ravisher Taken From the Jail
at Urbana and Hanged by 40
Masked Men.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 16.-Last Tues
day afternoon, while little girl nine
years old, the daughter of j. B. Nor.
gan, of Urbana, o., was returning
home from school, she was enticed
into the woods by man who out
ragged her person in most horrible
manner. The william then commenced
building a fire, with the intention, it
is believed, of killing and then burn
ing the child, when a hunter came up
and asked what he was doing there.
He made some reply which satisfied
the hunter, who went away. The
wretch then told the girl that. as a
man had seen him, he would have TO
take her home. He went part of the
distance with her. and then left.
She reached home in the evening,
in such q condition as to be unable
to give any account of the affair.
The next morning she gave the au.
thorities description of the author
Of the crime. and kilograms were
sent in all directions to arrest him,
the City Council offering reward of
$500 for his capture. Wednesdays
man answering the description was
arrested at Marysville, o., brought
to Urbana, and identified. He made
a full confession, giving his name as
G. w. Ullery, of Buchanan, Mich.
He said he was twenty-five years old.
After examination, disposition was
shown by the crowd to hang the pris-
oner at once, and the authorities had
considerable difficulty in getting him
to Jail. Thursday night an effort
made to take him FROM Jail was pre-
vented by the guards.
This morning, at an early hour. s
band of masked men, numbering
about forty, went to the Jail, captur-
ed and bound the guards, battered
down the doors, took the prisoner
out, gave him few minutes to pray,
and hung him to tree in front of
the courthouse. "A large crown gath
cred. but the lynchers had posted q
strong guard, and the feeble effort
made 10 interfere with them was rn-
successful. After al signs Of life
ceased in the suspended body, the
lynchers quietly dispersed. The
body hung an hour before the coro-
ner came and cut him down. Public
opinion is decidedly in favor of the
yigilants. The little girl is in fear
ful condition, and it is thought that
she cannot recover.

Yesterday morning early while Will
liam Heath was blasting rock at McMil-
lan's Station, in the eastern end of this
county, piece about the size of his fist
struck him in the forehead and almost
instantly killed him. He seems to have
been prudent about it, for after having
charged the blast he ran behind large
rock some distance off. 1t is supposed
that he raised his head above the rock
to watch the effect, for the piece that
struck him came in direct line from the
blast It smashed his skull, from the
effects of hich he died in about an hour.
He was unfortunate before in blasting,
as last May we chronicled loss of an
arm from a similar cause while at work
at Caswell's. The deceased was about
twenty-six years ole, and leavesa wife and
three children. He lived near CaswelPs.

New Yoak Tribune

For the time, Mrs Tilton was the
central figure of attraction. She was very
pale, and her manner was that of timid,
shy woman, who felt i'll at ease under
hundreds of staring eyes. The crowd
instinctiyely instituted a comparison
between her and Mrs. Beecher, and the
result was not favorable to Mrs. Tilton.
Tt was apparent that they were opposite
in character On one side was q weak,
timid, sentimental woman; on the other,
a positive, determined, and, even in her
old age, a Handsome woman. Mrs Beech
er was cool and self-possessed Throughout

bitter attacks npon her husbands honor.
embarrassed. Mrs Beecher has a classical
face, full of force and expression; Mrs
TiIton's face is of commonplace type.

70 1t is becoming a noticeable
feature that indignation is being uni
versalIy felt and expressed by the
good law-abiding people over the en-
tire land against the usurpation of
the Grant Sheridan-Kellogg Admin
istration. Grant urges the military
reign in Louisiana, Notwithstanding
an opposition to the same by a re-
spectacle majority of both Demo
Gratis and Republicans. The milder
Radicals are becoming fast disgust
ed and are asking for a speedy re-
turn to republican form of govern
ment. Grant has, doubtless, fixed
in his mind a strong determination
TO remain in the White House q
third term, and to make q sure point
il is manifest that the now pending
crisis in that State is but a fOrerun-
ner to feel the minds of the people
and to see to what extent they will
submit themselves. To the present
time, Grant is as stern and unchang-
able as he can be, with little hope
for a change, and it is evident that
he has point in view. There must
be a change made in the program
me, for the people positively will
not submit to such base imposition.
Grant may dictate iR some things,
but he dare not turn a deaf ear to
the voice of the nation; he can go
just so far and no farther-and when
he attempts otherwise he will find
himself as powerless as q child.

MESSAGE FROM TILDEN ABOUT LOUISIANA
AFFAIRS.

MESSAGE FROM TILDEN ABOUT LOUISIANA
AFFAIRS.
ALBANY, Jan. 12.-Governor Tilden
sent message to the Legislature to-day
on the Louisiana matter, concluding as
follows: New York, the first of the Com
monwealths of the American Union in
population and resources, and in military
power, should declare her sentiments on
this occasion with distinctness, dignity
and solemn emphasis which will com
mand the thoughtful attention of Con
gress, of her sister States and of the peO-
Die of our whole country. With the same
unanimity with which she upheld the
arms of the Union in the past conflict
she should now address herself to the
great and most sacred duty of re-estab
fishing the civil liberty and personal
rights of individuals of restoring the
ideas and habits of freedom and of re-
asserting the supremacy of the civil au-
thorities over military power throughout
the Republic.
ALBANY, Jan. 12.-The resolutions in
troduced in the State Senate to-day, con-
demning the military interference in
Louisiana, was laid on the table to await
the report of the Congressional Commit
tee.

VIcKsBURG, Jan. 18.-Maior Geo.
E. Head. with squad Of Federal
troops with fixed bayonets, acting,
it is stated, under orders from Gen
eral Emery, to-day entered the sher-
if s Office here and forcibly elected
Sheriff A j. Flanagan, who was in
possession by virtue of the recent
election about the validity of which
there is constitutional question. His
right to the Office had not however
been questioned by any legal pro-
ceedings. The military appear to
have acted upon army orders alone.
Maj. Head reported his action to
Chancellor Hilb who was holding
court in an adjacent room, by whom
the action of the military was coun-
tenanced apd seemingly approved.
Sheriff Flanagan also reported the
facts to Chancellor Hill, and appeal
ed to the court to protect him in the
discharge of his duties, but was re-
fused. The Chancellor appointed
w. H. McGhee Sheriff pro tenn, and
he was placed in possession of the
Office by the military. McGhee is a
white Republican. and was deputy
under Sheriff Crosby. Chancellor
Hill, upon opening the court two
weeks ago, adjourned it until to.day,
in order to determine what course
he would take in reference to the
sherifalty. The members of the bar
present protested against the courts
allowing and apparently approving
military interference with its officers,
as a violation of all law and the de-
struction of civil government.
