ssThen take that"
A hand-to-hand struggle ensued
between the young men, who were
thus quarrelling at the Old Domin-
ion saloon i'm Richmond, Virginia,
shortly after noon, on the 2d of Feb
rnary, 1890.
The bartender jumped over the
counter, and tried to seperate the
two combatants. But this interven-
ton was unavailing. They fought
for over five minutes, when one OF
them sank to the floor, exclaiming
81 am stabbed!'
His assailant staggered in intense
excitement to the wall.
The bar tender she uted; "'Police |!

A few moments later the Old Do
minion saloon was thronged with agi-
tated people.
They gathered around the young
man, who was lying PROSTATE or the
floor, vainly trying to staunch the
blood that was fast ebbing from a
fearful wound in his left breast.
"What have you to say, John Sey-
: mour?' said an old man to the groan-
lug sufferer.
81 am DYING" replied the poor
Young man. II did not provoke
this QUARREL only-only defended
my honor.
A shudder passed through his
frame and he was dead.
The murderer, in the mean time,
had leaned with apparent listlessness
against the bar of the saloon until al
officer came in and sad to him:
stYou are my prisoner.
ssYour prisoner?' he shrieked.

the works. With Beecher preaching
Universalism in Brooklyn, and DIR.
Porter acquiescing at New Haven,
while young ministers are finding out
that they can secure the stamp of
theological soundness, though they
argue hell away, the outlook is gloomy
indeed for the church founded by the
Puritants. 1t is no longer denomi-
nation with definite creed and pur-
pose, but one which changes its belief
to suit varying circumstances.
1t is becoming evident that the
Congregrationalists must formally ac-
cept Beecherism or reject it; or else
they must take the honester course
and go over to the Universalists, in

was now in the neighborhood of
Richmond to hire few desperadoes,
who were to help the prisoner that
very night from the county jail.
s'Why, this is holrible!" exclaimed
the District Attorney. ''But where
is the ccrroboration, my friend?''
The jailor then told him about the
ten dollar bill and the letter which
Miss Waters was to send to her
brother.
The District Attorney remeinsd at
the Jail until the letter arrived.
1t fully corroborated the jailor's
statement, and gave the glance where
Loutrelle could be found.
Half an hour later Augusta Waters
was arrested, and later in the day
Loutrells, the Frcnchman.
When old Mr.. Waters returned
next day to the city the terrible news
affected him so profoundly that he
became laving maniac, and had to
be removed the lnnatic asylum.
The three prisoners were tried for
conspiracy and murderin in the following
month of April.
The jury found LoutreEe guilty,
and he was sentenced to be hung.
Waters was sent to the penitenti-
ary for ten years, and his sister got
off with only one year in the house of
correction, there being reason to be-
lieve that she was of unsound mind.
Such, indeed, proved to be the case,
and she had to be removed few days
later to the lunatic asylum.
LoutreIle was hung on the 10Th of
June, 1899.

she attacked me-" he said, and
defended myself
"That may be-" said the police
man, ''but look at poor John Sey-
mour. He is dying"
''Dying?'
Waters cast wild glance at his
dying adversary.
When he saw that Seymour was
breathing his last, he turned deathly
pale.
Then he said: 81 repeart that
am Innocent"
A few minutes later he was lodged
in the Richmond county jail.
This murderous affray created a
profound sensation in the Capital of
Virginia, for the murdered man,
young Seymour, was the son of the
Treasurer oftheState, while his assail-
ant, Joseph Waters, was the son of a
tobacco planter, reputed to be in easy
circumstances.
In Richmond every body knew
how this terrible affair had originated.
Waters had very pretty sister, and
Seymour had been introduced to her
at picnic in the Manchester Woods.
He had fallen in love with the fasci-
mating creature, and she had recipro-
Gated his affections. After exchang-
ing VOWS of eternal fidelity, the two
lovers, it had been generally believed,
had lived for nearly year in very in
innate relations, which were the cause
of universal remark, but singularly
enough were atterly unknown to the
father of the young lady, who was ex-
tremely punctilious about matters of
honor.
Augusta Waters, his only daugh-
ter, who, at the time of the incident
we are now relating, was sixteen years
of age, was, perhaps, the most beau
tiful girl the STATE which is so
proud OF e personal attractions of
her young daughters.

cali.. upon the prisoner at the }.
Strangely enough, notwithstan'
the fearful predicament in which
brother found himself, she did no
seem to be very deeply affected. The
jaior who admitted her to the prison
at once noticed the girls singular in
difference. She said to him:
II want to have private interview
with my brother. -
The jailor refused to comply will
this request, in accordance with the
rules of the prison. Now Miss Waters
became intensely excited.
~ must see my brother alone'
she said, with flashing eyes, angrily
stamping her small foot.
The jailor's suspicious now became
fully aroused, He pretended to
Weld and said to her:
"WelI, l will let you see him,
Miss"
''But all alone!"
"No one shall be present"
He conducted her to the cells, in
the darkest and strongegt of which
her brother, whose hands and feet
were heavily ironed, vas confined.
The jailor walked rspidly back to
the Office of the prison, but entered
Immediately dark and narrow cor
lidor, along which he walked on tip
toe until he was close to Joseph Wa
ters' cell. There he listened atten
lively to the conversation which the
sister was holding with her brother.
The first words he heard the girl ut
ter produced a startling effect upon
him. The conversation between Au-
gusta and her brother lasted about
fifteen minutes, when the jailor heard
her say to the prisoner!
"Good bye; 1 will write to you in
few hours"
The TAILOR hurried back to the Of
flee, which the young girl likewise
entered a few moments afterward.
''lIere. jailor, is ten-dollar bill, y
she said to him. Il shall soon send
YOU aIetter to my brother, about
which YOU must not breathe a word
to anybody
He nodded his head and she left
the prison. The jailor remained at
the office of the Jail, evidently {. prey
to profound agitation. He was pac-
ing the room excitedly when the Dis
trict Attorney entered.
''This is very sad case, said the
latter to him, alluding to the homi-
eide of young Seymour. ''There is
an infamous plot at the bottom of this
foul murder, Mr.. District Attorney,
replied the jailor.
"What do you mean, sir?'' asked
the District Attorney.
The jailor then told him that he ha'
heard Augusta Waters say to he
brother that she was glad that he hae
killed Seymour; that she was not en-
ceinte at all by the latter; that sh
mad in her possession forty thousan'
dollars belonging to Seymour that he
