A Tragedy After an Elepement.

Something Of q sensation has been
produced in Baltimore by numor that
the,mutilated corpse of the giul recently
murdered at Jefferson, Texas, had been
identified as that of Mrs. Kirby, of Bal
timOre, who eloped with her buother-in-
law, John Ferguson, a few weeks ago.
The face was horribly disfgured to pre-
vent recognition, the eyes gouged from
their sockets, the flesh torn away from
the mouth, exposing set of glittering
teeth.
Mrs. Kirby's sister, Mrs. Ferguson,
Mr.. Kirby, husband of the runaway,
and also her father carefully examined
the picture and accompanying desctdp-
ton. Her father thought it answered
her description, particularly the teeth
Mr.. Kirby said the description cores
ponded with that of his wife as to her
physique, dEess, hair, etc., and notably
the scar on her left breast. All of them
unite in the opinion that the description
of the murderer corresponds precisely
with that of Eerguson as to features,
clothing and general appearance. Mrs
Kirby was bride of only few months
when she eloped with her sisters hus-
hand.

Late Mexican News.

City of Mexico advices to February
18th state that General Diaz arrived
there that day amid great rejoicing
He Will probably reOrganize the min
istry. Benitez, 'OgazoE and Tagle, three
of the naost prominent members of the
Cabinet, have resigned, but acting Pres
ident Meldez has refused to accept their
designations. Outrageous frauds were
committed at an electoral college organ
lied for Congressional elections. The
Tuztepeoplan partisaDs, now in power,
formed themselves into sort of Re
turning Board and counted more votes
foe their candidate than there were cleo
tors. The chairman refused to allow
discussion, and the opposition sent for
the Governor. Fraud was proven by
the Governor Calling the roll, where
upon he Immediately dissolved the col
lege. A pistol was fired, and the police
took possession of the building. Vice
President Mendez ordered the reassem-
bling of the College when the opposi-
toms charge of fraud was established,
although Espernon, prominent gov
ernment leader, was defeated. The
Church party is looming up. Moderate
men refrain from action, and the result
will be that either the Church. or the
lower strata will come into power
Liberals accuse Diaz of leaning toward
the Church party. A counter revolution
is certain. 1t is possible that Diaz may
prevent disintegration and the ruin OF
his party by remaining in the capital. -
The Vor dc Aertoo, the organ Of the
Catholic party, denounces strongly the
outrages recently committed on Protes-

The, tEaine Law irHensitied.

The 'tMaiRe law" has long been EEse
syaonyme OF extreme sunptuary legis-
Iatien, but tie recent session of tte
Legislature in that State proved that
there could besa still deeper depth or q
more dizzy height, aecOuding as people
look,at it. The "intensified liquor law" ="
as ittis called. ill soon go into effect
The,penalties feT sellinga0y Intoxicating
liqnors, except cider, ma&e.by the seller
in 6he State, are two months in the coun-
ty jail end fine of 81 900, &he offender
to stand committed until tire same is
paid. 'The law treats cidervwending by
the glass just as it treats the sale of rum
and w2siskey so dealers expect to sell it
by the4gsllon for 6ome consumption in
stead.

Five Thousand Dollars for a Wife.

William Smith, aged 20, who lived
near Liberty, Ind, became widowed
some years ago, and had since lived in
entire seclusion, was deaf demented. A
few weeks ago he offered $4,000 to any
one who would furnish him a wife. The
announcement created merriment at the
time, but no thing further was thought
of it till it was announced that the old
man was married to Miss Phoebe Johns,
a highly-respected young lady, aged II.
The old man s offer had been taken in
hand by Powell Slade, with whose fami-
ly the young woman lived, and Slade
received the $1,000, $4,000 of which was
paid to the girls father, the girl herself
receiving as an inducement deed from
the old man for his farm of 200 acres of
very valuable land.

Death Of Rear Admiral GOIdsbCrouuh.

Louis NJ. Goldsborough, who died in
Washington on the 18th inst, quickly
follows his old eomrades-Smith, Alden,
Wilkes, Bailey, and Davis. The young
MILDLY who reported for duty to Capt.
Bainbridge in 1874, lived through three
wars, i'm which he did his whole duty to
die at last i'm his bed, at the age of ~, a
retired Rear-Admiral. A gallant fight
with Greek. pirates i'm 1897, gave him as
fine a send-off as young officer could
wish. In 1910 he was at Washington,
breaking ground for the National OBJ
servatory. A few years later, we find
him fighting the Seminoles. He helped
lombard Vera Cruz and explore Cali
fornia. In 1855 he was commissioned
Captain. In 1861 he was appointed to
the North Atlantic squadron. For his
services in the Roanoke (Burnsidel eX-
pedition, he was thanked by Congress
and promoted the following year to the
be Rear Admiral. His last active ser
vice was as commandant of the Wash
ington Navy Yard.

The Northampton, Mass, Bank Treasure

The securities are not recovered, nor
is their hiding place known. 1t is be-
lleved that only 100000 in government
bonds has been divided among the
cracksmen with the money, so that the
bulk of the 500, 900 taken is still intact
The three prisoners undoubtedly have
had control of the treasure, and can
easily produce it. Unless they do, sem
tence amounting to life imprisonment
hangs over them, and it is confidently
believed that the hope of the promise of
a shortened term, say 10 or 10 years will
secure its return.

Texas CoIonlsts Doing Well.

The party that recently left Williams
port for the State of Texas seem to have
got into good locality, as the following
extract of letter from Mr.. Bostian ap-
pears to indicate:
A word about our party and / shall
close for this time. They are all good
men; one is plasterer, and got work at
Houston at 50 per day; the others all
came down to this (Eagle) station, and
they had so many offers since we arrived
that they don't know which to accept.
Offers like the following are abundant:
1st. The land owners offer land at very
low figure and agree to furnish them with
horses, farming implements, seed and
provisions End, land at any price and
on any kind of terms 3rd, $50 a month
gold, and board. At this writing nearly
all are settled one way or another

Mrs. ROLAND.

The following is pen picture of Mrs.
Ralph ROLAND, wife of the Chambers
burg Bark robber, who is again in Jail
at Chambersburg To the casual OBJ
server she makes favorable impress
sion. She is of good size and figure,
light auburn hair, eyes light hazel, al
most yellow, (felinely), melting intelli-
gent with a slight cast in one of them,
well-formed face, clear complexion, low
ing mouth, nese slightly sharpened and
slightly turned up. In all she looks as
one who is likely to be true under all
circumstances and possessed of strong
womanly instincts.

A Grave Yard Mistake.

There were rumors at Rising Sun,
Ind, of an attempted " resurrection" by
body snatchers of a child's body recent
ly buried, and the mayor of the town
detailed party of men to watch the
graveyard the other night. A relation
of the child also detailed two men for
the same purpose, without knowledge of
the mayors movements. The two parties
met at the cemetery and began shooting
at each other with shotguns and revol-
vers, wounding one of each party.

a. At Minneapolis on February 18th,
about half past O'Clock, William III.
Sidle assistant cashier in the First Ma
tional bank of that city, was shot in
the head and mortally wounded by a
young woman named Kate Noonan.-
Sidle was a young man highly con-
nected, and the affair has caused a great
deal of excitement. Miss Noonan claims
that Sidle had seduced and then deserted
her. The shooting occurred on the
street, in front OF the Nicollet hotel, and
was witnessed by several persons. The
woman was Immediately arrested. She
betrays no remorse for the deed. Sidle
died soon after IL o'clock that morning.
Mr. Sidle was formerly from Dills-
burg, York county, where number of
his relations are still residing.
