BRUTAL MURDER.
A Man Kicks lis Wife to Death

About balfpast 6 o'clock yesterday
afternoon a difficulty occurred in a
house on Constance street, between
Frank Lapine and his wife, Catherine
Lapine, in which the lady was assault
ted and kicked in the left side by her
husband, who was considerably under
the influence Of liquor.
In about fifteen minutes after the
lady expired without uttering a word.
1t seems that Frank Lapine, who was
a carpenter by trade, came to his
house very much under the influence
of liquor. On entering the door his
wife approached him aad inquired
whether he had been paid off for the
two weeks that were due him for
work performed in the new st. Pat
rick's hall.
He answered yes, and pulling out
the money, remarked that Mr.. Fowler
had paid him off, but he needed the
money and could not let her have any;
whereupon Mis-. Lapine knocked him
down, pulled it out Of his hand, and
walked away from him counting the
money, to see how much he had,
when Lapine, who was very angry,
jumped up off the floor and kicked
her in the side.
She walked to the sofa on the oppO-
site side Of the room, where she ex-
pired in a few minutes after. The
only witness to the murder was q
young girl, about fourteen years Of
age, named Katie Maxwell, a daugh.
ter of the lady by her FIRST marriage,
who gave the above account of the
horrible affair -
The deceased is a native of ireland
and about 40 years of age, and was
known as hard working, good wo.
man, by the citizens of the neighbor.

number of yearsSaad leaves family

The accused, Frank Lapine, was
arrested and locked up in the Sixth
Precint Station, where he was inter.
viewed, but refused to talk about the
sad occurrence that had taken place
being at the time still under the infu'
ence of liquor. He is a man about
thirty-fve years Of age, and native
of Canada. About seven years ago

REASONS WHY you should order your Teas

an undeniablc truth when it said that
the subcommittee on Louisiana did
not do what it was sent to New Or
leans to do, if it had stopped right
there and said no more; for it is plain
to every one. That the Object of its
mission was 10 enact mere farce of
investigation, and submit report ia
vorable to the Kellogg concern and
confirming the ISLANDERS of the enc
mics of the people Of Louisiana, re-
gardleSs of facts. But the committee
happened to be composed Of gentle
men who had some sense of honor and
justice, and did what it was pretended
they were sent here to do. Hence
their report was not satisfactory, and
they are insulted and traduced for not

4 Plea for Sheridan.

Although Gen. Sheridan is not en-
TREY bamel-sS, for suffering himself
to be used so plainly, for the sake of
gratifying his personal revenge, to-
ward the people of New Orleans, yet
we are satisfied he is not responsible
for the outrageous and unlawful pro-
position to declare the best citizens of
Louisiana robbers and proceed 10
shoot them like dogs. The very time,
the circumstances under which he was
sent and the secrecy Of the move
ments prove to Us that the whole plan,
proposition and all, was concocted in
Washington City before he left, with
out the additional proof of the tele-
gram of appreciation from the Secreta-
~ of War and the Presidents defense
of his proposition to trample under
foot the laws of the country and butch
or peaceful citizens of the country, be-
cause they belong to or lead certain
political faction. The trouble is at
the fountain head, although the
responsibility may be shifted on to
poor Sheridan's shoulders eventually
