CHARLESTON Nov. 10, 1879.
Tho particulars Of . shocking tragedy which was
enacted last Saturday night in Lancaster county.
8. c., reached this city this afternoon. The news,
which is from entirely trustworthy sources 10 to the
effect that the night mentioned Mrs. James
Adams. the wife Of farmer living about ten miles
from Lancaster Court House, cut the jugular veins
Of her five children then set her own clothing on
fire, and was fatally burned.
The first intelligence Of the occurrence con-
veyed through Mrs. Adams herself, who, about mid
night. appeared at the door Of near neghbor
tirey nude and suffering excruciating pain from
her burns. and begged to be killed with an
axe. When asked whore was her baby
she replied, 'sIn Heaven" The nsighbor, a man
named Crenshaw judging from the woman's con-
diton that her house had been burned and perhaps
her children with it, FASTENED thither; but seeing
only little fire on the hearth returned home. and.
assisted by neighbors. carried Mrs. Adams in sheet
to her house. In an hour and half she died with
out word further than those quoted above. to in
dictate that anything was wrong with the children.
BUrcHERED INNoCENTs.
After her death some of the neighbors, having oc-
cason to go into bedroom connected with the
dwelling discovered the ve children. the eldest of
whom was eleven years age weltering in their own
blood The bodies were yet warm butin eac of them
life was entirely extinct With knife or other
sharp instrument the mother had cut the juguar
vein Of each child. There were two stabs the
eldest child and three upon tue body Of the infant,
but wounds had been inflicted upon the
other children beyond those in the neck
They lay in perfectly natural positions. the
heads of three being at end of the bed those
OF two ut the other, and there suggestion
any struggle whatsoever. The work complete
and the distraught mother had inflicted no wanton
pain upon any one save herself.
JEALOUSY ALLEGED CAUSE.
The husband and father was absent rom home at
the time. having gone to spend the night at the
house of o brother. whence he had proposed going
to church on Sunday. The fact that he had been
urged to go away for the evening is evidence
that the woman had matured her plan de-
hberately, and that she did not upon
q chance impulse. The only theory entertained
is that she insane. and the cause assigned for
her insanity is jealousy. for which, it is alleged
there good ground. Mrs. Adams had been heard
to say that she would rather the children dead
than living as they were. and the exact meaning of
this language remains unexplained III the absence of
any proof OF extreme poverty. The Coroner sum
moned a jury on sunday afternoon and proceeded to
hold inquest.

THE MOVES INSURANCE CASE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.
TRENTON, Nov. 10, 1879.
Chief Justice Bcaslcy to-day ilod the opinion Of
the Supreme Court in the of benjamin Noyes,
affirming the judgment OF the Essex Oyer and Ter
miner and overruling the exceptions by his counsel.
Noyes was convicted in the Essex county courts in
the summer OF 1873 Of conspiracy to defraud the
policy holders of the Now Jersey Mutual Life
Insurance of $4,000 In cash and $4,000
in bonds and was sentenced to eighteen months in
the State Prison. He was discharged on the Goth Of
last September after serving about fifteen months,
the rest OF his term having been remittcd for good
behavior. Immediately after his conviction A. q.
keasbey and Courtandt Parker, his counsel, drew =
bill of exceptions tho ground that the indictment
WAS insufficient and too general, did not show the
particular means by which the alleged wrong was
committed and incorrect in construction by
son of attempting to show cause by two sets of
means. The argument heard on July % last,
when Keasbey asserted that Noyes had received
tho money. and II any crime was committed 1t was
by the president aud directors of the company to
which Noyes belonged. Attorney General stockton.
on part of the State. contended that the indict
ment was sufficient. Noyes now may take his
to the Court Errors and Appeals IL he desires.
