The Rice Hamilton Tragedy,

4 private letter to the Virginia Chroni-
Gle received from Phoebe gives the cor
rect particuiarsot the stabbing of Earl
/ Hamilton by John Rice The social
Circles in that town have been in cou-
tinnons terment for many years. Various
feminine c!iques had been formed, from
which many ladies' had been excluded
by the Jealousy or envy of certain of the
members. At one time the town pos
sessed three rival clubs, all of which
gave dancing parties once a week. The
heightened club Of the place was called
the b. B.. and it was controlled entirely
by the ladies'. Every week witnessed ey-
hibitions of eIclusiveness and subsequent
jealous chickering's. This club finally fell
TO pieces and a new one was formed, Of
which Hamilton was committeeman
and the floor manager. Rice had applied
for admission to the club as member,
but had been twice black balled. The
presumed cause of the black balling was
the fact that Rice had gone to one of the
club parties with a lady who, though
quite respectable. was still outside the
circle OF the heightened club. Rice went
into Hamilton's saloon on Saturday, the |
9Th of this month. and some bitter words |
eusued between them. Hamilton drew !
dreman's spanner from behind his bar
and struck Rice over the head with il, |
when the latter quickly pniled bowie
knife and stabbed Hamilton lust above |
the heart, cutting one of his ribs CON-
pletely in two. Hamilton fingered in
great suffering until Sunday evening,
when he died Much sorrow is felt in
Phoebe over the lamentable occurrence,
both men being greatly liked and re-
spected.

New BuILDISGs.-In the Spring &
young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts OF love-so we are told by the
laureate-and it may with quite as much
truth if not az much poetry be observed
that in the Spring the fancy CT men and
women to build new houses and repair
old ones manifests itself. We notice
that Mrs. WIN. Wilson is building a coz
modious one-story structure adjoining
her dwelling. This is 10 be her own
place of residence, we believe-she re-
serring the old homestead for rent aTr.
Sredoy's new sGuare-roofed house be-
tween Mr. Tobriner's residence and the

magical rapidity. With the further ad-
vance of the season many new buildings
will be erected in various parts OF our
little city. II may as veil be stated tina:
the new sidewalk from David's stable to
che depot is in process Of construction.
Now let the Capitol Commissioners put
handsome sidewalk ON the four sides
Of the square.

The frog. albeit he croaks, is far from

A Narrow Escape OF William Nv.

One can not but wonder whether Will
liam the Fourth of England ever learned
that plot was laid for his abduction
during his visit TO New York in the
spring of 1882. The Prince was a
young and reckless midshipman, given
to ilirtation, and TO the inebriation
which found vent in wrenching of door
knobs; and it probably never occurred
To him that in his person the "rcbelsn
would find a hostage worth having
The project originated with Colonel
Matthias Ogden Of the Jersey line, and
the intention was to surprise the Prince
and his commissioned guardian, Adj
miral Eigby, at their quarters in the
city mansion of Gcrardus Beekman on
Hanover Square. Two officers and
thirty-nine men were TO aid Colonel Og-
den in his enterprise. Embarking on a
rainy night in whale-boats, they were TO
land in New York near the Beekman
mansion, force the doors of the house,
capture the Admiral and Prince, and
convey them to their boats. The plan
was approved by Washington, but il
does not appear that any decided at
tempt was made To carry it out. In
some manner, the apprehensions Of the
British leaders were excited for the
safety of the Prince, and every precau-
tion was taken against a surprise. Had
IT not been for this warning, the bold
ness of the plan appears likely to have
insured its success. John Il. Mines, ia
Scribner for F'cbrUary.
