The Negro Murderer of Mrs. Hull Ar
riyes In New York.

New York, June ga great
crowd was gathered at the Boston pier
this morning to see Chastine Cox, the
murderer of Mrs. Hull. A carriage,
with the horse covered with foam, was
driven rapidly Gu the pier and drew up
in front of the gang-way. Three po-
licemen jumped out, and, as they saw
men and boys running to the end of
the dock, they followed suit, The
cause of the running was that the
steamer Newport was approaching the
pier, but Cox was not on board that
boat; he was prisoner on the Bristol.
That boat was not far behind the New
port, and when she was made fast to
the pier, detachment of policemen
from the Twenty seventh Precine sur
rounded the gangway and cleared an
open space. The crowd by this time
was so densely packed in the small
space at the end of the bulkhead that
no one could find even standing room,
and several had narrow escapes from
being pushed into the river. Cox was
then landed with policeman on either
side. Despite his efforts to appear
composed, it was evident that he was
greatly frightened when he saw the
surg,ng crowd before him, and he
clung close to the officers. When they
bounded up the gang plank, he kept
step with them, aud second later he
was in the carriage. The whip was
Immediately applied to the horses, and
Cox and the policemen were hurled
rapidly away from the dock, leaving
the struggling crowd behind.
Captain Williams had secured the
bridal chamber of the Bristol for the
trip, and as soon as the passengers
learned of the murder of Mrs. Hull
was on board, efforts were made to get
a glimpse Of him, aud the state-ronm
door and window overlooking the guards
were besiesed by men and women who,
however, saw little. After supper
and smoke, Cox reclined on the bri-
dal couch and chatted good humoredly
when the subject was broached. to the
murder. He was firm and positive in
his denial that he was assisted by any
one, and adhered to the statement that
he did not intend to murder her, but
that his object was robbery.

The GRAND CANON Row,-ST

patch says: Justice::Miller, of the su-
preme court of the United States, this
morning, on motion of the Rio Grande
counsel to execute the mandate of the
supreme court 10 Grand Cauon, went
into general review of the mandate
and stated in plain terms that the pri-
ority Of rig ht of the Rio Grande Co.
in Grand Canon covered only that part
which was too narrow for two tracks.
that before the Rio Grand Co. could
be granted prior right under the man
date they must first pay the Santa Fe
Co. the cost of construction of the road
through that part Of the canon known
as the Royal Gorge, aud they could not
accupy it until they had paid for it
Then the right of the Santa Fe Co. to
occupy the track jointly With the Rio
Grande Co. must afterward be settled
by the court. He would not turn the
Santa Fe Go. out of the canon, but
there must be speedy settlement OF
these difficulties and by both parties
coming together and settling on an
equitable basis.

Suicide Of Miss Martha Peet, Of Be-
lott.

The death of Miss Martha Peet, by
her own hands, occurred at Beloit, on
Tuesday morning, June 24th. The
suicide was committed at about nine
o'clock in the morning of that day, by
hanging Miss Peet has been labor
ing from temporary insanity for sever
al weeks, and in her lucid intervals,
she frequently spoke of her inclination
to take her own life. The deceased
was about fifty years of age, in lucra-
tive circumstances and until recently
was in the enjoyment of good health.
Size was the daughter of Rev. Stephen
Peet. who established many of the ear.
Iy churches of Wisconsin, but better
known as the founder of Beloit college.
Miss Peet was herself well-known
throughout the state as an active and
abe temperance worker, woman of
fine culture and large benevolence.
She was the sister of Joseph Peet; of
Beloit, and Of Mrs, II. H. Gray, of
Darlington.
TIE Beloit Free Press under date of
June Oath contains the following par
ticulars of this most distressing affair:
DEATH OF Miss MARTHA PEET.--
This painful news spread through the
community early this morning and
caused profound grief to the many
friends of Miss Peet and her esteemed
family. For several weeks Miss Peet
has been in i'll health, and consequent
depression of spirits. This morning,
DR.. Peck, the family physician, was
called soon after o'clock and Miss
Peet consulted him in regard to pro-
posed journey to Brodhead with her
brother, Mr.. Joseph Peet The ad-
vice of the Doctor was she remain
quietly at home. In the conversation
Miss Peet said that the constant appre-
hension of possible insanity caused her
sometimes to think that death was bet
ter than life. She, however, seemed to
acquiesce cheerfully in the physicians s
judgment aud appeared as quiet as
usual. Alter DR.. Peck had gone
away. the servant girl went up stairs
to attend to various duties, and Miss
Peet remained in the library. ln the
course of fifteen minutes the girl re-
'urned to the library, and going to a
closet of Miss Peet's room to hang up
a coat there, was startled to find her
mistress hanging by strap passed over
a shelf in the closet She at once
gave the alarm to neighbors, and Mr..
Pratt coming in removed the body
from the closet. In few moments
DR.. Brenton arrived, and soon after
Drs. Peck, johnson and Strong Every
effort to restore life was made, with no
encouragement or success. The cir
cumstances afford no evidence of pre-.
meditation or deliberation in the deed.
A momentary and irresistible impulse
to take her own life, and the sudden
execution of the thought when not In
her right mind, are the only and un-
doubted explanations Of the sad close
of her life.

Two BULLETS IN HER BRAIN.

Two BULLETS IN HER BRAIN
A dispatch from Cincinnati says the
case of Mrs. Won Loew, the Austrian
woman who attempted to commit sui
eide at the ST. Nicholas hotel on Sat.
urday, is singular one. To night she
is still alive and with all her faculties
unimpaired, with two bullets in her
brain. She eats, sleeps and rests east
ly, and apparently suffers no pain.
She talks cheerfully with those around
her, and to-day made her will. Ply
sicians pronounce the case of the most
remarkable that has come under their
observation. They say that the bullets
are lodged in the upper anterior por-
ton Of the brain, and that until in
fammation sets in, or the natural grav-
ity of the bullets causes them to press
downward on the base the brain, the
woman may live in full possession of
her faculties. She is woman of fne
physical development. She gives no
explanation Of the cause of the deed,
but regrets that death is so long delay
ed. It is evident from her conversa-
tion and personal affects that she is a
woman of good social RI nix in Austia.
Her husband. who returned to Austria
several weeks ago, took with him
$1,000 Nothing can be learned of
him.

tice that the mothers are training up

cause. 1t is plain that the only way
to stop all this nonsense. to check the
flow of these bitter waters from the
Southern beart, to squelch out once for
all this "vindicaton" Of the rebellion
and to establish beyond cavil or ques-
ton the national authority over every
inch of the national domain is to re-
buke the Democracy thoroughly and
soundly throughout the North. The
past few years have shown that the old
virus of secession testers and inhames

BAYARO BOOMING. -Ci arlcston
Is. CO., News and Courier, Senator
Bayard has won the admiration of those
who agree with him, and the respect
even Of his oponents. by his unflinch-
ing adherence to his convictions, and
his manful refusal to consent to COM
promise on the silver bill. The events
of the past fortnight have lifted him
into greater prominence than ever as
the man for 1880. The silver men,
however, out of revenge, may toma-
hawk him in the Democratic Conven-
ton. But Bayard is one of the men
that would rather be right than be
President. We wish there were more
statesmen in Washington of that
stamp.
