Suspicious OF Foul Play in the Case of Mrs.

Special to the Pioneer Press

Suspicious OF Foul Play in the Case of Mrs
Cran,lall, of NIilbanIs.
Special to the Pioneer Press,
Morris, March S.-The remains of Mrs.
w. .. Crandall, whose body with that of
her infant child was found frozen, some
weeks since, near Milbank Junction,
Oak, We're Brought to Morris last Thurs
day for interment by her father, S. p.
Schofield of this place. Last evening
one OF the resident physicians began a
post mortem examination with view to
ascertain if there were any marks of
violence that would Indicate foul play,
An autopsy OF the body revealed what ut
first sight appeared as a deep incision in
the abdomen, caused by some sharp
instrument, and in an incredible short
space OF time, it became noiscd about
the village that there was murderons
woman had been foully dealt with
Large and indignant crowds began to
congregatc along the main street, and
the Impression being formed that Gran
dali was in town, = crowd of about fifty,
with the vague mutterings that usually
precede lynching, went to tho house OF
the mother of the supposed murderer,
with the evident intention of handling
him roughly if he should be found. AZ
ter futile search, however, of the prem
lses, the excited crowd disbanded and re-
tired to their homes. AS 1T was known
that Crandall had left Ortonville for Nor
rls. the sheriff OF Stevens county, in COM
pany with one of our leading citizens. set
out on the Graceville road early this
morning to arrest Crandall and keep him
from the people; but shortly after they
had left the corner declared that the body
did not show any such marks rs reported,
and the excitement was allayed to such
an extent that when Crandall arrived on
the train from Herman this forenoon, he
was not molested. The feeling here,
though somewhat subdued, is intense,
and it is thought that he will be notified
to leave the town, the general opinion
among the people here being that the
death OF the woman and child was the re-
suit either of their forcible expulsion
from the house, or of such inhuman
treatment as to render her temporarily
irresponsible for her actions.
THE NEWS AT M1LBANK.
Milbank, d. T., March S.-The report
concerning marks upon the body of Mrs.
Crandall upon being thawcd have evi.
IDENTIFY come to you from Morris. Have
wired you the particulars of the unfor.
tunate turn which the affair took here
before our justice of the peace, who be.
came badly confused, and was induced to
dismiss the case. s. p. Schofield, father
OF Mrs. Crandall, took the remains back
to Morris February 27. The community
here firmly believe Crandall guilty, and
are indignant Mt the Judicial blunder
Crandall left here March 5, saying he was
going to Morris, but it is thought this
was u blind and that he does not dare to
show himself there, IN view of the fact
that there IS reason for belief that he
may yet be apprehended.

o'clock this morning fire broke out in

Shady Hill.

Even in these later times, gli,ipses
OF old Cambridge when it kept its
pyilaitive traits ara not wholly waiting.
On the northeastern verge Of the city,
in an ample stretch Of natural oods,
stands Shady Hill, tho home Of Chas
Eliot Norton. where, under the suave
hospitality of the scholarly host, amid
tho treasures OF the library, and with
original Tintorettos anu Titians looking
| down from the walls, ono seems trans
! ported to corner of the fifteenth
century Italy. Within that congenial
demesne. in an avenue of tall, rusty
coated pines, a party of four young
people (of whom the writer was one)
were strolling and sitting one day, a
few years since, when Mr. Lowell came
down the path, aud halted to speak to
them. He had in his hand Canyons
Early Years and Late Reflections, "
which was oddly appropriate to his
mood; for he dwelt on the fact of thus
encountering group of the younger
generation, saying that it was like com
ing upon his own vanished youth
there in the wood. From this he went
on to chat for an hour, telling about
the A3irondac expedition recorded in
verse by Emerson, and shared in by
himself, Judge Hoar, and Mr.. w. j.
slayer with the rifle. He also spoke of
poetry; of Browning, Donne, Tenny-
son, and Morris; quoting from " Pippa
Passes Ottima's lines in the scene with
Sebald, where she tells how
lever and anon some bright white shaft
Blrnt thro' the pine-tree roof-here burnt
and there,
As if Gods messenger through the close
wood screen
Plunged and replunged his weapon at ven-
ture,
Feeling for guilty thee and me-"
"When read that for the first time, :"
said Mr.. Lowell, 1 cried out to my
self, Hero is new poet!'" Yet,
somewhat contradictorily, he next
branched out into theory that mod
ern life offered no such intensity of pas
sion for the potts uses as the world of
the Elizabethan age still retained. It
would be impossible to reproduce the
eloquent glow of his monologue at this
distance CT time; but the incident is
mentioned here to suggest how casually
on TIE Cambridge thoroughfares, or in
& little patch OF unhistcyic woodland
like the one referred TO, any day or
hour may bring the pleasure OF mex

Screaming Women.

The woman who screams at every
thing, from Il mouse to ss COW, is of
little practical use.' How will the wife
who screams at nothing depcrt herself
when her husband is brought home
with broken leg, her child has a TIT,
the family fortunes go to sudden ruin,
the house catches fire, the ceilings fall
in. the pipes burst, aud to use Shakes
peare's expression, "al is in ex.
tremity ?" The little scream, SO femi-
nine, and to some ears so appropriate in
the days of white muslin gowns, dainty
little hats and rosebud checks, always
blushing, will have very different
sound for the harassed man of business,
the long suffering husband, the anxious
father; he will look with envy On those
happy fellows who possess wives who
do not scream. Properly considered,
this question of screaming. should have
great weight in mans choice Of part
ner for life. The little scream is in
valuable as an index Of character.
No really well-bred woman would
dream of screaming at COW any
more than Of losing her temper with
careless servants before company. She
has been taught self possession under
emergencies Us duty owed to society,
and il becomes . matter OF course.
man, therefore, in choosing wife,
should ask himself whether such calm.
dignitied bearing, presence of mind, and
a reluctance to inaict discomfort on
others, are not qualities that outlive
Nero beauty. Partly therefore to
vulgarity and also partly to vanity
must the scream he attributed. There
are girls 80 Aelplessly addicted to self
adulation, women 50 morbidly anxious
for poSicc, that they viii do anything
short Of committing murder in ocder to
attract attention. What they cannot
eif4c. by good looks, spirit, or even an
attractive appearance, they contrive by
the scream. \ scream CRATES, scream
is odious, scream has 10 meaning,
but it makes the bystander stare; 1t
awakens spurious sympathy for the
moment. All VIC can say is, that, NIL
things considered, the man who marries
woman who screams deserves the
misery which is in store for him.

The Night of the Holy Fire.

y correspondent in ireland, whose
remarks arc very deserving Of atten-
ton, writes to US that at about 9 o'clock
on the last night of the old year o large
portion Of the counties of Galway and
Mayo were suddenly ablazs With
torches formed roughly OF leaves of
straw. 1t was not quarter of an hour
from that time that the first torch was
observed before the country to the
horizon was all alight. Loud shouts
were heard, horns and whistles were
blown, cans were beaten. aud the in
habitants seemed to have become de.
mented. Country houses were hastily
closed up and secured; the police pre-
pared their barracks for defense, and
everybody outside the land league
made certain that the dreaded moment
had come. The lights and noises cub
sided about II o'clock, and the night
passed over with nc. more than the usual
number Of outrages. The country peo-
| pie affect to be ignorant OF the cause of
the illumination; some said it was to
celebrate the liberatioE of Parnell, but
the facts of the trial are we'll known in
every hamlet and such @ reason could
not hold water. There is no custom of
the kind on New Years eve. The
question asked on every side in Ireland
is. We hear, was it a preconcerted prae-
tice in signaling? OF was it an expert
ment?
A few nights before the Fenian rising
something Of the same kind was oh.
served in several parts of the country,
and many we'll affected people are of
the opinion that il portends no good.
In the winter of 1882 the country vas
observed one night to be full of flashing
lights in every direction. Men were
frantically running with lighted sods of
turf in their hands. with which they
rushed from one house to another.
The origin OF the phenomenon was
never very clearly traced, but it is
supposed to have been man appearing
ut house and leaving a lighted sol of
turf, at the same time giving directions
that the house owner should rub it to
seven other sods which he was to leave at
seven houses that had not before re.
ceived them. This was to be done on
pain of eternal perdition. That night
almost every Catholic house in Ireland
was visited, and many died from the
cxe,tion of getting rid Of their seven
so1s Of turf. 1t is supposed that it was
eXpedient to see in how short time
communication might be effected on an
emergency, from centers of activity,
acting simultaneously. II was called
" the night of holy fire" In Ireland
no sign ought 10 10 neglected. In
1867 the police were still in their
country barracks when the day OF the
rising came, although orders had been
issued for their concentration in the
event of the near prospect of what
Was known m0st come. From the st.
