A Chinese Mother-in-LaW's Crime,

A horrid murder was committed the
other day in the city. A widow woman
had an only son, young lad of II or
Is years, whom, by the advice of some
friends. she married to girl living in
the same neighborhood. AS soon as
the new wife became a member of the
household, however, the mother-in-law
treated her with extreme cruelty, perpet-
ually finding fault and never giving her
enough to eat. At last the unfortunate girl
complained to her husband, and he
Immediately espoused her cause; but as
he was still quite boy, and under the
thumb Of his mother, he was only able
to help his wife by smuggling food into
the house, purchased with his own
money, and then giving it to his wife to
eat on the sly. When the old virago
discovered this, of course she was greatly
enraged; but the boy was loyal to his
bride, and continued to protect her in
every way. At last one day things came
to crisis; and during the absence of
her son, the woman beat her daughter
in-law we'll nigh into jelly and then
killed her The next thing was of
course, to hide the body; and this she
attempted by putting it down the well.
But what was her horror to find the we'll
too narrow and that she was utterly
unable to force, press, or squeeze the
corpse down further than the shoulders!
Then there was no further concealment;
and the attention Of the neighbors was
soon attracted by the sight of the dead
girls head and bust appearing above
ora,1pd Tho ml1rd cross Hod for how
life, taking her son with her; but,
strangely enough, returned to her home
the same evening. Hitherto, no steps
have been taken in the matter, but
Chinese law deals severely with any

The Business Effect of the War Abroad

The London Economist one of the
best financial authorities in Europe re-
viewing the business influences of the
war, now in its fourth month, comes to
the conclusion that the war has increas-
ed the price Of wheat, while it has de-
pressed that Of cotton, wool and iron.
To so more into detail, it says: "We
find that wheat is now Gas Sd per quar-
ter, while six months ago the Gazette
average was only SIS 3D., and year
ago 45s I'd. This means dear bread, and
compared with those of year ago, the
conditions are pro ta1ato altered for the
worse. But the war appears to have
directly depressed business, quite apart
from the check upon the spending DOW
er OF nations, which is created by dear
bread" Thus, the Messrs. Ellison & Co.,
of Liverpool, after careful estimate OF
the cotton stocks on hand, say: "Were
cotton on it's own merits, there could be
no possible doubt as to the influence on
prices Of the strong statistical position
which we have just delineated. But
cotton is not On its own merits. Bust
ness in Manchester and other manufac-
turing markets is hampered by the war
now raging In the East-by the fear that
other countries may be drawn into the
confict-by political disquietude in
France. and by the adverse influence
which these disturbing causes have upon
trade in general all over the world
which they sustain by referring to the
reduced prices of wool iron and metal.

gers can fix it any time so as not TO

and hence, in this case, there must be
some good explanation, as undoubtedly

70 throw the door wide open. One man

cnlhery, ought to keep out 5wenty-men
sheriff Brady, of North Platte, when
ten miles out of Big Springs, struck the
robbers trail, and found two of their re-
volvers and treasure-box empty. Upon
the arrival ofthe train here at 6 o'clock
this evening interviewed passengers
and tralnmen, and found their state
ments to agree in the main with the
above account. Conductor Patterson.
while und Ter guard, was robbed ofmoney
and watch, but got his watch back, az
they dropped it and he picked it up
after they left. Andy Riley, of this city,
was on a car platform, and they ordered
him to go in, and, as he did not step
quick enough, they shot at him twice,
one ball grazed his left hand They al
SO robbed him of $50 ahd two watches.
Councilman Cummings. who was on the
platform at the same time, got inside
Just as the shots were fired. The bull
lets sank into the door frame. The
passenger coach was robbed by six men,
who, with pointed and cooked revolvers,
ordered everybody's hands up They
collected 81 800 in currency, besides
watches, jewelry, and railroad tickets.
They attempted to force-open the door
of sleeper, but failed. The passengers
say that there were thirteen men in the
party. Every effort will be made to
capture them.
