New Orleans Special: Tho details Of tie
murder by Ricalh of Fackler yesterday, a brief
mention of which was sent by the associated
press, show it to have been one of the most re-
markable crimes on record. Fackler was,
according to the evidence in the hands of the
detectives, superior master mechanic, whose
services were proftably employed at planta-
ton work. He was sixty-fve years old, but
had young and attractive wife. He was en-
ployed by McCluen, planter. and finally be-
came his intimate associate. McCluen sue
ceeded in debaucking his wife, and
finally induced her to run away from
HIM. Fackler was indefatigable in
his search for her, McCluen apparently
doing all in his power to assist him. Mean
time McCluen breathed to Fackler his sus-
picion. that young creole named RcaIf, whom
he had incidentally met Oh the plantation, was
the seducer of his wife,. Fackler, crazed by
jealousy, met Rcalf and assaulted him.
McCluen then told Ricalfi to be on his guard
as Facker had armed himself and would xiii
him on sight Ricalf was greatly exercised
In fear of deadly attack, aud armed himself
with double barrellsd shotgun, which he car
ried with him and determined to take the first
chance and kill Fackler. McCuen informing
him that a certain hour FacIler would be in q
saloon at the corner of the Exchange alley
and CUSTOM House street Ricalfi was
on rand with his shotgun. McCluen
meantime had agreed to accompany the unsus-
pecting Fackler in the search for his fugitive
wife, and invited him into the saloon to take a
drink AS Feckler reached the bar Ricalfi shot
him, and he fell STOPPING over him Ricalfi
discharged the other barrel, and Fackler
rolled over and expired. The post norton

In the social circles in which the portly figure

to be fact Last winter Judge Davis, imme-
diately after his recovery from an attack of ILL
ness, doomed up as figure in society aud was
for time the gayest of the gay At the pres
idential receptions he appeared buoyant and
active. Indeed he seemed so youthful that it
was commented on by the newspapers. He
never appeared without bout0niere in the
lapel of his spiketail, aud was always seen with
bl ushing maiden hanging on his arm. At prir
vate receptions he WAS the center of attraction.
1t can be said that ladies in society who melted
receptions looked upon him as a
great card, and, despite his proportions.
Judge Davis managed to get around
with as much agility as youugster, to
the delight OF numerous hostesses. During
his firtations the great national heavy weight
met, wooed and won Miss Annie Green at the
residence Of lady friend in this city. This
occurred just prior to the adjournment of con-
gress and was made known to a select circle
of friends at the famous dinner that Davis gave
at Wormley's After that among his most in
innate friends, Judge Davis was the butt of
many jokes, but he braved the current and con-
tinued his devotions. Miss Green is said to
come from one of tine oldest families in North
Carolina She Is not pretty, but very fascin-
ating, and consequently attractive. Her peo-
pie are rich and the match is regarded by their
friends as an excellent one. Jokes are out,
concerning the heavy responsibility that the
lady has taken upon herself, but it is believed
by those who are intimate with both that the
acting vice president will make good hus-

Wharton Green, the present Democratic nom

our domestic human machines in good

Do we try to tighten them by little of that

sewing.
She did not like the needle and thread be-
fore; now she did And Kitty undertook to

perfectly within the compass of a small child

ROMANCE OF THE JURY BOX.
Bright Eyes and Tender Chances Influencing
Young Juror.


A motion for new trial in a will case in
Baltimore was argued few days ago, and
testimony of an unusually entertaining
character was brought out The principal
ground on which the new trial is asked for
was that one Of the Jurors, Bareda Turner, q
Young gentleman in his 25th year and a
member of the Corn ard Flour Exchange,
who testified that he "speculates little

The other grounds, on which great stress

Mr. Turner, the juror, in his testimony
said that all good-looking ladies impressed
