A MARRIED WOMAN'S TRIALS.
Stockton Journal

[Stockton journal.
A lady living in the southern
part of the city was sitting up
about IL o'clock a few evenings
ago waiting for her husband to
come home. The lamp was in
her bed room and she was in the
parlor. Hearing a noise outside
of the door-yard fence, as if a
man who was drunk was trying
to find the gate, she went out,
and sure enough a drunken man
was there: She helped him into
the parlor, as she had been used
10 doing, and placed him care
fully on the lounge. After a hard
struggle she got his coat and
vest off, and then came to bis
feet. She pulled at least five
| minutes at the boots (as she
thought they were) to get them
of, but they would not come,
At length she felt up about the
ankles and found that the man
had shoes on-something that
her husband never wore. Strik'
ing a light she discovered that
she had tramp on the lounge
who was drunk through and
and through. What followed
can easily be imagined.

selves down on either side of the

trudging down the center of the

excited the liveliest emotions

COOKED !AL1yE.-One of the
most sickening affairs, if indeed
it is not the most horrible, which
it has been our duty to chronicle,
says the Huntsville (Ala.) Inde-
pendent, happened recently on
the premises Of Mr.. Solon Kelly
about s miles from Huntsville.
There was a hog-killing in pro-
gress, and two colored men,
Robert and Dennis Patrick,
brothers got into dispute about
each others share in the years
crop. A long kettle filed with
water was near by: The water
in the kettle had been heated to
such a degree that they were
waiting for it to cool a little in
order to scald the hogs in it. The
water was so hot that they We're
| afraid it would "set" the hair of
the hogs: This was the high
temperature of the water when
the brothers began to quarrel:
Dennis, who was the Oldest, told
Robert that he would put him in
the kettle if he didn't shut up,
and Robert, the preacher BROTH
er, told Dennis that if he put him,
Robert, in the water, he, Dennis,
would have to 60 with him. Den
mis- caught Robert and pressed
him backward in the direction OF
the kettle. depressed him, beth
having their arms locked mean
while, until they both went head
long into the kettle of seething
water. Their piteous, awful
screams and means soon attrac-
ted others to the place, who fin
ally extricated them from the
white hot cauldron. They re.
tanned their senses when first
taken out, and their intense,
agonies we're simply beyond de- y
cription. They at once cona-
planned OF their hot clothes, and
when these were taken from
their limbs great fakes of boiled
flesh went with them, leaving
their bones exposed. Their
boards fell out and their hair
dropped from their heads. They
had literally boon cooked alive!
The sight was such that those
who witnessed it we're we'll nigh
paralyzed with horror. All pos
sible measures, of relief were
tried during the night, but Rob
ert died next day and Dennis
died on Monday.
