4 MAN MURDERS HIS WIFE To SATISFY EIs
DAuGHrER's LOvEg-A CONFESSION AND
ITS PROBABLE RESULTS.
A terrible murder was committed near
Tlconderuga, New York. tic other
day, the details Cf which are u tJliows
Early SIiartay morning. Oct her Ith,
man came to the village Of lIcondeTusa
from place called SuiiertOwn, about ijar
miles distant, for physicians, stating that
Mr. Asher Is Coyell had been assaulted
while in bed at her own h0u-e by sumo
person unknown, SUPPOSED To be tramp.
and seriously If not fatally Injured. Dr.
James IL. Bailey immediately proceeded u
tho house where he found Mrs COveil In
bed. Tae scene presented was OF the most
sickening character. The bed was saturated
and the
WALLS CT THE ROOM COVERED WITH BLOOD.
An examination disclosed the fact that Mrs.
Coyeli's skull had been crushed in, appar-
emily with some heavy blunt instrument.
Sae was speechess and unconscious. DR..
Bailey strove to restore her t. conscious
ness. but without avail. She remained in
this condition until SATURDAY. evening when
she died IL seems that Friday evening
Mrs COvelI, her husband, and younz
lady tho was teaching in the neIg hbOrhOcd
and boarding at Covell's, went 10 u party
at a neighbours Mrs. Covell ami the
young lady alluded to left there about ii
O'Clock and proceeded home on foot Gov
ell, the husband, shortly after went home
with his team. lie asked mis- wife to go
with him to the barn to aid him in putting
up his team. She went and while absent
the young lady retired. 1t seems that Cow
ell and his wife shortly afterwards went to
bod tus Ian ba lad
aroused by Cevell who stated tina; some one
had been In tire house and
BEATEN OR KILLED HIS WIFE.
Covell could give no coherent account of
the affair. lie stated that the first thing he
was conscious Of was finding himself stanG-
lug on the flor that he did not see nor
hear any person. Ha and his wife occupied
the same bed, and it is a singular fact that
no blood was found upon Coyell's person,
which would have been the case had he been
in bed with his vile when the blow was
struck as he claims he was. Sumo young
men passing the house ut about the hour oil
the occurrence saw person running from
the rear Of the house with nothing but
shirt on. The person they saw, after gong
short distance, turned and went back into
the house.
THE MAN THUS sKxS WAS CovELL.
That night Coveli claimed that the person
who committed the murder also stole his
clothes. Next morning his pants, vest and
hat we're found concealed at the place to
which the young men saw Covell go the
night before. Subseq quently Coyell confess
ed that he killed his wife with q stick CT
wood, at the instigation Of one Burns. who !
wished Covsil's daughter. which Mrs. Coy
ell objected to. Covsll has been arrested.

They had quarrel Sunday evening. lie
got mad and swore he d leave her. Then
She got ycxed and told him lie could do as
he pleased lie left The next night he
came around again lie asked to see her
alone She readily complied. She was all
Of tremor. Her heart went out to him IN
d gush Of sympathetic love. She stood ready
to throw both arms about his neck and cry
out her Joy. There was not much color in
hi- face and his voice was husky. lie said :
Il have been with you six months, Matilda,
and | tried in all that time 10 do what was
right" lie paused an instant to recover
the voice which was altering rapidly, while
her trembling increased. Il know that
have got considerable temper, and that | do
not control it always as ought. But have
tried to be faithful to you, tried to do every
thing that thought would tend to make
you happy. And feeling this | have called
tonight to see if you wonld be kind enough
to gi.e a sort of testimonial to this effect, 50
that could show it to any other young lady
| might want to 90 with. 1t might help
me-" lie looked at her anxiously. All the
color lett her face in flash. She made a
great effort to swallow something which
threatened to suiiocate her. Then she
spoke. "You get out of this house as quick
as vnu can. you miserable whelp, or my
father shall kick you out" lie didn't toy
with time. He left without the testimonial.

The noyeit cs in TRAININGS seen t. he
mostly in the line OF buttons and irlnges,
although the new chenille lace which l. ap-
nlot.ed in chenille on old points Is very ct
iecflvc. The revival of chenille fringe, OF
chenille and velvet leaves and flowers. both
for bonnet and dress ornamcntatl0n, are re-
ceived with enthusiasm. for all the art and
skill which Of late years has been exercised
in the discovery and blending Of cOlOrs has
been utilized in producing the exquisite
shadires aud combinations which are seen
TO such advantage in the soft beauty OF these
textures. Bat II must be remarked that
chenille frinees Opiv lend themselves happl-
IN TO rich fabrics. They d. not harmOnlze
win cloth or woollen materials. For these
there IS new wOollen fringe which is an
imnroyement on any heretofore manuisc-
turtd Usually basis OF WOOD Is PROVIDED d
far the buttons, balls and the like, which
vary the design and give 1t Importance.
There is no such base IN this new fringe; 1t
Is all wool, and prcducCd in the finest light
and dark shades. ButtoLs, both small anu
large. appear In great variety. Many are
simple mOnlds covered with plain silk, 9TH
ers are crotcheted, but the newer styles are
composed of what Is called - vegetable
ivory. shaded in dark colOrs, pearl lulald,
or smell. Smoked pearl are still much ustd,
but these are not new.
The fine mohair braidS have been ruined
by the introduction into the market OF a
spurious article, but excepting for jackets.
bralds and galloons are senslbly taking the
place Of silk, which when 1t does not wear
off altogether, wears shiny, which Gost
ladies dislike much worse.
