The Knife and Gun-Fiendish Work of
 An Infuriated Farmer-Ffnishing a
 Murder While on the Brink Of Eternity. RICHMOND, Nov. 7.-London county in this State was the scene, Friday last, of terrible tragedy. A small farmer named Merritt Matt had quarrel on that day with his wife's sister It is thougM he had previously quarreled with his wife and his sister-in-law took her part, and as he was of strong temper he hurried from his sister-in-law and went into the yard, and getting large knife used for cutting corn, came back and assault ed her with it. She ran into the yard and he pursued her and stabbed her until he thought she was dead He then returned to the house, and, taking his gun, discharged it into the air and coolly reloaded it. With the loaded gun he proceeded to the spot where the woman lay, and placing the muzzle under his chin, discharged it, the contents passing through his mouth, tearing out his tongue and lodging in his head. He fell to the ground, but while in the throes of death he saw some signs of returning life in the wo- man, and dragging himself to where she lay, he reached forward and seized large stone

Rowe1l,s Biz score and Victory.


 ROsvell's Big Score and Victory.
 LONDON, Nov. 7.-The contest for the Astley belt ended at 1o:30 o'clock last night, Powell being the victor by the biggest score that has yet been attained by any man in a six days walking match. Dobler, whom many looked upon as one who would push Powell to his very best, gave out early in the week, and from that time the race was virtu- ally in the possession of Rowell. The latter, however, was not content with the simple victory over the American walker, but plod- ded on with the determination of wiping out what had been heretofore considered the best score on record, that of Hart in the last contest for the O'Leary belt, when he made the unprecedented score of 565 miles in six days. This he succeeded in doing, and his running on the last day was wonderful, he reeling of lap after lap in quick time. At the finish the score stood: Rowell 566 miles, Lttlewood 47O miles, Dobler 450 miles,

CHICAGO, Nov "A special from San Francisco says 600 Chinese sailed on Friday for China, and more are going intending to remain in China. This gives much satisfac- tion, but whether caused by the unfriendi- ness of the American people or by tempting offers of employment to those who have be- come skilled in American manufactures can only be conjectured.

CHICAGO, Nov. "A New York special to the Tunes says it is stated on the most relia- ble authority that General Hancock addressed letter to Chairman Barnum, in which he said that he had been consulted by several committees with reference to proposed re- vision of the vote cast last Tuesday, with the
 view to contesting the election in New York State in his interest He had also seen the same course commended in certain of the Democratic newspapers. He wished to
 say that the movement did not meet his
 approval, as it appeared to be based upon unproveable assertions and inadequate grounds, and, further, because the move ment, so far as 1t concerned him personally,
 was open to the insuperable objection that
 under no circumstances would he consent to be technical President MT. Barnum left l town for Connecticut early in the afternoon, and the letter could not be obtained, but a l gentleman who has just returned from Gov 1 ernsr's Island says it no doubt is in his pos 1 session and that the above summary gives l its purport correctly.

Rescued From a Living Grave-Buried
 Three Days in Caved-in Well. SMITHTowN, L. l., Nov. 7.-Joseph N. Howell, of this town, offered $5 to any one who would clean an old well belonging to him. George Abner Brown and William Helms undertook the task last Wednesday. A pole was placed across the mouth of the well, and from this rope was suspended. Brown started down with hands grasping the rope and his feet placed against the side of the we'll When he had descended sixteen feet the well suddenly caved in, burying Brown beneath tons of earth and rock. Almost miraculously an arch formed by the stones and debris over Browns head, so that he was not crushed, and he had narrow breathing space He communicated with the people on the surface from o'clock on Wednesday afternoon until o'clock yester- day morning, when he was taken out. The people of Smithtown turned out in force to help rescue the buried man. Some of them risked their lives in the attempt. James Me Dermott was conspicuous among the rescu- CTS. When brought to the surface Brown was nearly exhausted, but he was not seri- ously injured.

The Silver Dollar-An Increased Demand

The Silver Dollar-An Increased Demand
 for the Coin.
 WASHINGTON. Nov. 7.-Secretary Sherman anticipating the still increasing importance of the silver question, will give this subject much prominence in his forthcoming report The withdrawal of immense sums of the one and two dollar notes from circulation through the redemption of mutilated notes has ere ated demand for the silver dollar which has of late far exceeded his expectations, and it is understood that he will recommend the per- manent retirement of the notes of these de- nominations and the coinage of an equal amount of silver dollars, probably not less than hundred millions. During the past few months the demand for silver has been exceptionally large, growing out of the gov ernment furnishing transportation free of cost. The legislation which he will ask will reopen the whole question and will materially change the status of the silver dollar by pop ularizing it for current small transactions.

4 Sisters PeriI-Hunted Down and Shot
 by Rum Maniac.

Sisters PeriI-Iunted Down and Shot bya Rum Maniac.
 NEW YORK, Nov. "A dastardly attempt to murder a Sister of Mercy occurred in this city today. Shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon, as Sister Gertrude Verena, who is attached to St. John the Baptist's Home, a charitable institution of the Episcopal church in East Seventeenth street, was turning from teaching Sunday school and when about to enter the Home, she was sud denly approached by strange man, who, without uttering word, drew large sized revolver from his pocket and commenced firing at her. The first shot struck the Sister in the leg little above the knee, and as she
 fled from the assassin with her hands up to her face, second shot took effect in her left nate Sisters cries for help and the report of the firing attracted the attention of number of citizens, but before they could interfere the villain succeeded in firing three more shots. One took effect in her thigh. The villain was then seized by two men and held until the arrival of an officer. In the man. time Sister Verena had fallen from exhaus- tion and fright on the steps of the Home, where she lay bleeding until the would-be murderer was confronted with her. She i'm mediately pointed him out as the man who shot her. Assistance was promptly on hand from the Home, and the wounded Sister was conveyed to her apartments, where she was attended by physician, who extracted the bullets and dressed the wounds. Her injur- ies although very severe, are not considered dangerous The would-be murderer was conveyed to the police station, where he said his name was Thomas Horton, native of Ireland 35 years old, laborer by occupa- ton. He seemed little concerned upon be- ing told of the crime with which he was charged, and when asked why he had done it he said ''that the Sister had been following him around and he couldn't help it that he had been bewitched by some one, and he thought the woman whom he shot had be- witched him. He did not know her, how ever" He had apparently been drinking, and it is supposed he is of unsound mind. Sister Verena said that the man who shot her total stranger to her.
