A German named Jacob Hummel, in
Cincinnati, exercising his personal liber-
ty, unvexed by sumptuary laws, had a
little transaction with his wife, which is
thus reported in the Gazette:
The badly wounded and suffering
woman told our reporter the following
story last evening. about two hours after
her horrid butchery, as she lay on her
hospital bed, racked with pain and the
fear Of death. She spoke German
through an interpreter:
After her husband had left the house,
about one o'clock, she was fearful he
would come back and do her some bodily
harm. For that reason she kept her
door locked, but on opening it to go out
for some purpose, about FIVE o'clock, the
husband stepped in, locked the door on
the inside, and put the key in his pocket.
Then he asked her whether she would
take him back She said she would not
Then he asked her for money. This also
she refused. At this time Hummell was
very drunk. He commenced throwing
the furniture around the room, and
finally, with two knives, one IN each
hand, attacked the defenseless woman.
The one he held in his right hand was
an ordinary butcher-knife. with blade six
inches in length. The other was a horn
handled clasp knife, with blade three
inches long, ground down by use until it
was narrow, and the point keen. At the
first stab he gave her she screamed, but
there were no men in the house, and
help was not at hand, the door was
locked and she could not escape. The
window was closed, and the room being
in the second story, she could hardly
have escaped that way without killing
herself. Thus, entirely at his mercy, the
poor weak woman received from the gi-
gantic brute at least fifty stabs and cuts,
until, in her great misery, she escaped
under the bed, and was left there to
bleed to death. In her frantic efforts to
defend herself, she several times caught
the blades of the terrible knives. and as
they were drawn through her poor fin
gers, the flesh and tendons were severed
and the bones laid bare. She received
fifteen stabs and cuts in the right arm
alone. One of them is fully three inches
in length, on the outer part of the arm
near the shoulder, down to the bone
This arm is literally mangled until there
is scarcely place two inches in extent
that is intact. She had terrible cash
windpipe, three inches in extent. There
is also horrible wound on the inner as
pect of the left thigh, made by the butch.
er knife, which looked as though the
knife might have been turned in it.
There are a number of stabs made by the
keen-pointed clasp-knife under the chin
and pointing up to the mouth. 1t is i'm
possible to give all the sickening details
of these half a hundred wounds. But
out of them all it is a singular mercy that
none of them reached vital part or sew
cred an important blood-vessel.
This lovely and respected fellow citi-
zen, after thus disposing of his wife, un-
dertook to kill himself, but unfortunate
ly failed He made several terrible stabs
into the place where his heart ought to
have been, but as there was perhaps
nothing inside of him but great big
paunch filed with beer, he was not
killed.

resentatives, another cousin; nor yet was
it the Alesnire. OF Jackson county, whom
he placed on the committee to examine
competitors for the cadetship-but an
other man Of the same family. Well, I'll
tell you how Vance reformed Joseph Ale
shire who is a book keeper in -four
mill in Gallipolis. The latter got no
tion in his head that he would like to
spend few weeks in Washington with
his cousin. the distinguished NJ c. The
expense of such trip would, of course,
be a matter OF some consideration. This
was obvated by Vance giving him a Job

lipolis bank. drawn in favor of Joseph
Aleshire, Expert Printer" Vance, be-
ing Chairman of the Printing Committee,
employed him, it is supposed to walk
through the Printing Department, as an
expert detective, at Government expense.
His skill as a printer had not been known
in his native town until this trip to
Washington. 1t was not known that he
could tell "Nonpariel Jobber" from a
cider mill, or a "shootingstick' from a
jack-plane. This transaction has got out
among the farmers of Gallia and Law
renee counties, and will be used to prove
that Col. Vance is n capital reiOrmer, OF

800.

One Joseph p. Aleshire, miller in
Gallipolis, was at Washington City last
winter, visiting J. L. Vance, who is his
cousin. After Aleshire came home he
got a check on the United States cashed
at one of the Gallipolis banks, payable
to himself as an expert printer" As
10. Aleshire does not know which is the
larger type. plea or minion, it created
some surprise, and Mr.. Vance had to
come to the front, and explain by what
kind of a swindle he paid his cousin, a
miller, 500 Now Vance explains that
his cousin was called to Washington as
an expert book-keeper. 1t does seem
strange that among all the clerks at
Washington. no man could be found as
an expert book-keeper, without sending
to Gallipolis for a miller.
The rebel papers in the district are a
good deal worried over the discovery of
this petty trick. And no wonder. 1t
renders the conduct of that old salary
grabber Wilson almost decent, by way OF
comparison.

CARL SCHURZ.

Carl Schurz made a speech in Cincin-
natl last week, in favor of the election of
Gov. Hayes. we believe such speeches
will do Hayes far more injury than they
will do him good. The speaker goes at
length into abuse of the Republican ad-
ministration. We believe this man ran
off from his native land to save his life,
and it certainly does look cheeky for this
refugee to slander the American people,
and lie about them. For instance, he
says:
But, while this circumstance is ever so
honorable to those concerned, we must
not forget that since the day when the
principle ito the victors belong the
spoils' was proclaimed. the number OF
rascals in the service, as well as the ex-
tent of their rascalities have grown con-
stantly and in most promising progres-
sion.
And again:
But my respect for historical truth
compels me also to say that the terrible
legacy which in such a development of
the spoils system the last Democratic ad-
ministration left behind it, has, under
Republican rule, borne abundant fruit.
have deemed it my duty, on every prop
er occasion, unsparingly to denounce the
abuses which have grown and spread un.
der the last two administrations. That
duty remains the same. OF what l have

There was a general drunken fight.
A drunk woman in Cincinnati, named

then tried to cut her throat with strip

A young lawyer in Cincinnati named
Charles Fosdick, graduate of Kenyon
College, got drunk last Saturday and
took buggy ride with young woman.
They stopped at several saloons and
drank beer and were both drunk. At
last Fosdick remained at a beer saloon,
drinking and gambling, and the girl

In Cincinnati, on Saturday night,
about midnight, a drunken German had
pipe in his mouth, and some young
men were knocking the pipe out Of his
mouth, when Morris C. Newman inter
fered, and one Of the roughs stabbed him
in the stomach.
We close this record Of one day with
the following. from the Cincinnati Ga
zette:
On Saturday evening two young men
named James German and John Sparks
got into an alteration about a shirt
which German was wearing, and which
Sparks claimed belonged to him. Yes
= terday morning they came to blows about
the dirty shirt, and neither seemed Il
have the advantage. Both men got very
drunk during the day, and last nigh
about I o'clock they met in a saloon or

: Carr Sparks struck German on the head
with n chair, cutting a cash in the scalI

quarrel. This time Sparks stabbed Cor
man with a pen-knife in the wrist. Cor

successful in this, but being very drunk
!, he went to sleep. The police were una
BILE to arouse him from his drunken stu

sent for an ambulance, and had him sen

man, and we predict that If he is not le

morning, he will lick all the nurses anS
guards who endeavor to restrain him.
