A Young Lady Shot ON her
Wedding Day.

A terrible and distressing ira.
Igedy occurred in Eddingtor
Township, Rock Island county
ILL.,, recently, a brother planting
% bullet in a beloved sisters
temple and then falling dead by
her side from another bullet sent
by his own hand. The parties to
the tragedy were Lee and Mel
india J. Robbins, the eldest son
and daughter of a wealthy farm
er named W. W. Robbins. A few
weeks ago the young woman
formed the acquaintance of a
young man named Thomas Rich
ards, to- whom she soon became
engaged, contrary to the wishes
OF her family, who, however,
finally gave their unwilling con,
sent to the marriage, which was
appointed for to-day. The BROTH
or, Lee. who was deeply attach
ied to his sister, was not advised
OF the intended marriage till this
morning, and when he heard of
1T he swore it should not take
place. He procured a revolver
and went ont to hunt for Rich
ards, but failed to find him. Dis
appointed in this, he returned
home and went up to the room
ID which his sister was dressingl
for the wedding. What passed.
between them is not known. butl
soon the family down stairs
heard. the report of a pistol.
quickly followed by another shot.
and, running upstairs, Mr.. Rob-
bins found his two children lyingj
n a pool of blood, the young
'ady dead, and the son uncon.
'clous and dying. Both were
'hot IN the forehead. In the case
# the girl the bullet passed
trough the head. Lee died in
hirty minutes, without speaking
word, and, as no papers were
cit, this is probably oil that will
ser be known of the tragedy.

MR.. EDITOR: A few dottings from
this place will, hope, find space in
YOUR columns. There is good Sum
school in progress at Rocky Dale
Church, with Mr.. Russell Rutherford
as Superintendent. The prospects are
fair for a good school during the sum-
mer and fall.
The spacious building of the Acade-
nv was filled last Friday night to its
utmost to hear the mock
trial of Mr.. John Sands for
the murder of Jacob Schultz,
which is said tohave taken place
near Harbison's Cross Roads, in Knox
county, Tennessee, on the 22d OF Feb
ruarv. 1879, The court opened at 1880
with ESQ. r. w. Kearns in the chair.
Eight men were impanelled to try the
case, as it was growing late, time Yves
not taken to impanel the required
number. The State was ably repre-"
sented by Mr.. q. 81. GaIyon and Mr..
II. L. w. Mynatt, while the defense
was conducted by Mr.. Gordon Mynatt
and Mr.. Lea Hall. After rigid ex-
animation and cross examination OF
the witnesses, Mr.. Galyon opened for
the State in his usual hurricane style,
and occupied the floor for ten or fifteen
minutes. He was followed by counst,
for the defense, while the argument
was closed by Mr.. II. l.. w. Mynatt
for the State. After brief charge by
His Honor, the jury retired for few
minutes, and a verdict of not guilty
was returned.
The affair, seemingly, ives enj

The Mendelssohn Cruo concert.


Next Friday will be a great event in
musical circles in Knoxville. On that
occasion the Mendelssohn Quintette
Club of Boston, assisted by the favor
ite soprano singer, Mrs. H. f. Knowles,
will begin two nights engagement,
and Saturday afternoon matinee, at
Staub's Opera House, the announce
ment of which appears elsewhere.
They come by engagement with ana
play for the benefit of the Knoxville
Public Library, which fact alone, bar
ring the desire to hear some
thing extraordinary in music,
should induce large attendance.
1t will, however, be rare Opportu-
nifty, such as has never before been en-
ioyed, for our citizens to hear some
thing really excellent and refined in
vocal IS well as instrumental music.
The club has reputation that is ma
tional and widespread, and they elicit
nothing but high encomiums and pro-
fuse compliments wherever their tal-
ents are displayed.
OF recent appearance at Norfolk,
Va, Nofolk paper says:
Norfolk and Portsmouth turned
out in force to hear the famous Boston
Quintette Club, and the performance
fully justified all that has been said
about them. Each performer seemed
to be a perfect master Of his instru-
ment. Mrs. KnoWlC2 has a splendid
voice, and soon won the hearts of her
audience. She was encOred twice, and
in response to one of them sang Annie
Laurie. The performance was a rich
musical treat, and the audience appre-

pouch, or at least the fastening thereof,
which was devised by him, and on
which he has spent much time and

provement on the old pouch in the
way of the fastening. 1t is simpler,
much easier to work, more secure, ana
possesses other redeeming qualities.
Mr.. Ambrose has applied for patent
and has forwarded the model to the

We hope ne may be successful in Sc
curing the patent.
