Dead for Two Weeks-A Woman Who
Drank Herself to Death in the Soil.
tude of Her Room.
sgeeiaL Dispateh % the cineinnati Ga.ette.


New YORK, April 24.-Catharine
Lutz, woman of middle age, hired
lodgings on the third floor of the ten
ement house No. 115 Stanton street
nine months ago. She was given to
drinking, and man whom she called
her husband deserted her some time
ago. Mrs. Lutz continued to live
there alone and drank harder than
ever. Early in April the other ten
ants missed her. The landlord
knocked on the door in vain when he
came to collect the rent. 1t was
always locked.
Yesterday he decided to find out the
canse, and with the aid Of two police
men broke the door open. Mrs. Lutz
lay on the floor dead. She had been
dead for over three weeks. The fur
niture was in disorder, and more than
a dozen empty whisky and rum bot
ties scattered about indicated the man
ner of her death. There was no evi-
dence of suicide. The detached pages
of letter, which she had written with
a pencil, were found in the room.

The Deadly Scattering of the Shotgun.

CHICAGO, April 16.-A New Or
leans special says Sunday evening a
terrible tragedy occurred At Bayou
Sorrel, Iberville, 100 miles from here,
two men were killed instantly, and
four badly wounded. An eye witness
says a number Of negroes had been
employed there cutting timber for j.
0. Terry & Sons, and Saturday night,
while gambling, Cube Austin and
Elijah Wall quarreled. Next day
eight of the men, among them Austin
and Wall, went in a boat to supply
store, three miles away, where whisky
was. freely drank. The quarrel was
renewed, and Austin drawing knife,
drove Wall from the camp, threaten
ing death if he came back. Wall went
to negro cabin, forcibly secured a
shotgun, double loaded it, and in am
bush waited the appearance of the
boat. When about 125 yards from
the starting point, Wall hailed them,
and with the gun pointed at them,
ordered them to land. While yet
begging him not to shoot, he fired,
killing Charles Williams and Marshal
Boroman and wounding four others,
two, seriously. Austin himself escaped
unhurt Wall is still at large. The
Governor offers a large reward.

THAN love most this floures white and rede,
Such as men callen daysyes in her toun.'
Sweet singer of the dawn,
Throbbed opal tinged with hues of coming day,
Upon our English lawn
Didst honor chief the flower that lies bestrewn
On the green vestured meadows, when the May
Goes forth with silver shoon,-
Pace with me- master mine
Unrifed yet, ere wake the merry maids,
Their comely locks to twine
Linger, blest dawn; full the freshness fades,
Full short the blossoming.
Thou, who, when all was still,
And from the daysprings altar dimly curled
Faint wrath like mists and tn eastern gates
With rose and daffodil,
Didst blow note so clear, SO joyous free,
Mute thickets woke 10 song, and the blithe world
Rang with thy jolity.
Teqch me whose lot doth lie
Amid the whfrring of fierce wheels, the din
OF clashing words and eddying thoughts, to win
Thy grave simplicity
Thy loyal tenderness, thy courteous grace
Crystal revealings of the heart within,
Read on thy gentle face.
Teach me thy humor fine
To fout mems follfes with loving smile,
That yet they vince, bethink them, pause awhile,
Win glfmpses half-divine;
But with keen arrows of thy barbed wit,
Piercing his close-set panoply of guile,
To slay the hypocrite.
Teach me this one best lore
To dover pure womanhood with worship due,
Maiden, wife. mother, ordered fair and true
Bloom, flower, and fruitful core,
w hite, innocent leaves, with rosy bushes tipt,
Great many-seeded heart of golden hue,
In the strong sunbeams dipt.

DARLING KATEi


o Kate, thou sweet darling, thy spirit
Is light as the zephyrs of eve;
Thy countenance bright as the sunshine,
And naught in life can thy heart grieve.
I'm weary, I'm sad and forsaken,
Foul tempters have led me astray;
o! come to we smilingly, darling,
And kiss all my troubles away.
1 was born to ill-luck and misfortunes,
To fight all life's battles alone,
To bear heavy burdens and suffer
Oppression that maketh me groan;
I'm homeless, impoverish'd d and friendless,
My sorrows increasing each day
o! come to me smilingly, darling,
And kiss all my sorrows away.
To love thee live, my sweet darling,
For thou art my hope and my life,
If thou shouldst desert me I'd quickly
Abandon the world and its strife;
And lowest thou me, my sweet darling?
'Tis doubtful to me; must say,
.! come to me smilingly, darling,
And kiss all my doubts far away.
In slumber dream of thy beauty, t
While awake am thinking of thee,
For my heart as prophet foretelleth
That thou art refuge for me;
And when this cold world thou art leaving
In holiness beauteous array,
o! come to me smilingly, darling,
And kiss me to heaven away.

We find the above in the Pomeroy telegraph: The
ect and the Portsmouth BiGde Commenting upon the
Tribnne article, indorses it. The Btade then take:
be ana
Well, will brother Mackley tell us
how it should be met? Will the
Blade present its plan? Drunken
ness has been a blot upon humanity
for several thousand years, and there
have been a great many wise people
in all that time who have deplored
the evil; but we are not aware of any
phifanthropist who devised any feas-
ible plan to abolish it. There is no
more prospect to-day of this evil being
eradicated than when Noah got drunk
on wine of his own manufacture, nor
so much, for in those days they did
not crush twelve hundred bushels of
corn in one distillery and make from
three thousand to four thousand gal
Ions of whisky every twenty-four
hours by steam.
There IS no more prospect to-day OF
the liquor traffic being wiped out
than there is of wiping out the starry
armament. Meantime government
authorizes and protects traffic that
robs the family of its head, turns
home into hell, and in neglecting to
take care of the scottish father, Grip
pies the family from helping them
selves; for woman loaded down
with a drunken husband might as
well try to support herself with his
corpse tied to her.
1t is as much the duty Of the State
to protect the family from an imte-
cile or dangerous husband and father
as to protect society from maniacs and
criminals. There is no question
about this. Men who are slaves to
liquor should be taken charge of by
the State and placed where they could
get no liquor and be made to work.
Every impulse of Christianity and
humanity demands this.
Meantime if temperance reformers
can devise any plan to eradicate the
liquor traffic, so much the better.
The foregoing is from the Ports
mouth Tribune. We have repeatedly
said that We have no hope, only as the
evil may become so awful that it may
work its own cure. When every fam
lily in the land shall have its skeleton
in the house; when every father and
mother shall have a beloved son utterly

A young man engaged a horse and
light wagon from Russell Thorp yester-
day morning for the purpose of going
out to Cheyenne depot. Shortly after
noon the horse rushed into the stable
yard in an exhausted condition and
dragging the demolished wagon after
him. The vehicle was upside down and
badly damaged, while the horse was
somewhat injured by striking the single
tree at every bound. The horse will
probably recover fully in a weeks time
and the wagon can be fixed, but it will
cost $40 to do so.
Upon making inquiry, Mr.. ThorI
learned that the young man arrived
safely at the depot or camp, and de.
parted right side up with care: But
where and how the accident happened,
and where the young man hid himself
Mr.. Thorp hadn't learned up to a late
hour last evening.
