A PROBABLE MURDER.
Ed. jenkins Carves His Mistress ant
Then Jumps in the Ohio River.

A little over year ago Ed. Jenkins at
tempted to take the life of his mistress,
Nellie Harris, alias Hattie Lee, by laying
her skull open with hatchet. She went
to the Hospital at the time, and after re-
covering refused to prosecute Jenkins
They then lived together again, occupying
small frame house in the rear Of No. $40
West Fifth street.
The neighbors say that continuous
quarrel was kept up between them, and
many were the rows and fights they had.
Last night about 10 o'clock wrangle oc-
CURED, and Jenkins, after knocking the
woman down with poker, commenced
slashing her with knife across the neck
and face. She managed to free herself from
him, and, running out on the sidewalk, she
fell exhausted. The would-be murderer
dashed out of the house at the same time,
and running west on Fifth street to Smith
turned down the latter street until he got
to Davis & Co. s foundry, where he was lost
in an alley.
The officers of the Third-street Station
searched for him high and low, and a little
after midnight discovered him on Front
street, west of Central avenue. AS the off
GERS approached him Jenkins started for
Central avenue, down which he went to-
ward the river like deer. He rushed on
the ferry-foat with the officers at his heels.
One plunge into the water and the man was
seen no more. 1t is thought he is drowned.
The woman was taken to the Hospital in
an ambulance, and it is not thought proba-
BILE that she can recover.
Colonel Wappenstein has engaged sub
marine diver to hunt for the body Of the
man who jumped off the ferry float when
chased by the officers. The Colonel is al
most sure that it is Jenkins, but then he
wants to lose no time in the matter if it
does not turn out to be him.

Dill's Death.

The Coroner held an inquest this morn
ing on the body of A. G. Dill, a married
man living in Carthage, o., and who was
run over by stock engine on the NJ. & c.
R.R. Line on last Wednesday night near
Thomas street. The railroad employees tes-
titled that he was sitting on the outside
track, about forty feet in front of the en-
gine, when seen, and that he was holding
his head in his hands
His wife testified that Dill would often
get drunk, and that ON Wednesday he went
to the city and promised to be back at

was to take the home train from there.
The Coroner rendered the following ver-
dict: Death from injuries received by
being struck by car of the stock train on
Thursday morning, about twenty minutes
after 3 O'clock"
No blame can be attached to the rail-
road employees, as said Dill must have
either been asleep or stupefied from drink
at the time the accident occurred, and the
darkness prevailing at the time prevented
the men on the train from seciug him until
it was too late to avoid the accident

PANAMA, June AT 7:15 on the morn

peared off Iquique and Immediately opened
fire on the Chilian vessels which was
briskly returned. The Covadonga and
Lamar were signaled to go south with all
speed. The Esmeralda, an old wooden cor
vette,. remained to engage her formidable
antagonist the Huascar, while the Inde-
pendencia steamed after the retiring Chilian
vessels.
The unequal fight between the Huascar
and Esmeralda, the Chilian vessel, lasted
but short time, for the latter, having
suffered damage to her machinery and
refusing to surrender, was rammed by the
Huascar and sank almost Immediately. Of
her crew of two hundred men not more
than forty were saved. In the pursuit OF
flying Chilian ships the Independence was
unfortunate The Captain of the Covadonga,
who knew every yard of the coast, bugged
the land very closely, passing known reefs

low him, when, as he was rounding Point

bottom, and becoming total wreck. The
Huascar took off her crew and few of her
guns and left them at Pisaqua and Iquique.
