Then, with his penknife, did he cut
the mortar from the bricks and pulled
the coffin, which was not covered, as the
inmate had forced it open.
SO, says Anna, that she became so IN
fatuared with her deliverer that she be-
came in love with him at first sight, ana
he with her, and but few days elapsed
when they became man and wife.
They lived happily together for few
wears, but her husband became weary
of matrimony and longed to be
widower, and as Anna had every pros,
pect of seeing good old age. ne trled
to beat her to death.
Suddenly he disappeared and the
shock worked Anna to insanity, and
she is now an inmate OF the city mad
house.

OFFERS OF COMPROMISE
from J. Madison Wells. The last Of
which was within two weeks proposing
to put her in possession Of her property,
on condition that she would pay $4,000 to
J. Matt Wells, Jr., for his services and
expenses in his capacity of public adj
ministrator" in the matter. Mrs. Evans
peremptorily refused to enter into any
such arrangements. More recently she
was surprised to learn from a friend,
that the property had been seized for
taxes and was about being sold Upon
| investigation, she ascertained that Rob-
inson had failed, during five years, to
pay the taxes on the property. from
which he has gathered three crops. The
matter,
AS 1T NOW STANDS,
| is under stay OF proceedings, which
Mrs. Evans has obtained from Assistant
| Attorney General Dibble, until the
| United States Courts shall meet in No
vember, when the motion for contempt
against the authorities of Rapides pa
IRISH will be fled
| Referring to the prescription OF the
debt on the plantation and cotton, Mrs.
Evans says that she has recognized the
amount due, and is willing to pay every
cent of it when the case is finally settled
by the United States Supreme Court.
This is in brief the result of long in
terview with Mrs. Evans, which we give
AS nearly as possible as she related the
circumstances, and purposely refrain
| from any comment in the matter until
the case comes up on the motion fol
contempt, when the facts will be laid
before our readers.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-10-28

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, one
of the ablest and fairest Republican papers
in the country, has this to say about the re-
suit in OHIO and Indiana, in its issue of Thurs
day:
This indecislve October result means such
a last month OF the canvass as this country
has not seen but once or twice during It's
whole political existence. Ii is the home
stretch that is to decide this year. The cleo
ton will not be over until the men are actu-
ally elected The cllnch and tug will now
ccme over the states of New York, New Jer.
sew and Connecticut, with the advantages OF
position and present chances appreciably IN
favor of the Democrats. All three OF these
states have Democratic governors; one oil
these governors is the party candidate Tor the
presidency, and withal as experienced ana as
tule an organizer of victory as modern Amer
Ican politics has seen. With every week now
the probability of solid south approximate
more closely TO certainty. Add to the south
ern electoral votes those of these three states
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
with those OF the ex-slave and border states
which are conceded TO the Democracy, and
the total is lSS-three more than are needed
TO elect. This without Indiana, without Cal
ifurnia, Nevada or Oregon, all three states
conceded 10 Tilden in the estimate put tortl
some time ago by the Republican national
executive committee, and without Wisconsin
which can hardly as yet be pronounced salt
Republican state.

Rugged close to the mans breast who w0uldn I
