Mantac's Fury-Bruta1 Murder of B
 Wealthy .Woman-Butehered by Her
 Insane Son-in-Law.
 BOSTON, April 2O.-A most brutal murder in high life by an insane wretch occurred at Il o'clock to-day in West Somerville on Rus sell street near the corner of Orchard, the author of the crime being Edward Rufus Prescott, an old man of 67 years, and the victim his aged mother-in-law, Mrs. Philemon Russell aged 80. Prescott with his wife and three children lived with his mother in law in one of the finest residences in the place, Mrs. Russell being very wealthy, the street being named for her. Prescott was formerly a partner in dry goods house in Arlington and was afterwards in the same business in Cam bridge. He was at one time worth $50, 900, but lost all by failure. The latter brought on insanity, he being gradually breaking up mentally for five years. Of late he has re- alized his mental condition and asked to be confined in the Danvers asylum. Papers for his committal there were partly made out. To finish the preliminaries Mrs. Prescott visited Boston this morning, leaving home at 10 o'clock. Later Prescott arose, went down stairs and according to his own story, which is in the main rational found the doors open and the fire going out. He asked his mother-in law what she was doing that for. She replied that she was going to consult the spirits. She asked for small rake. He told her it was in the wood she'd Sue went out, but could not find it, and accused him of breaking it. This en- ragged him and as she stood on the second step and he on the top step of the stairway leading to the shed she showed him. He threw her down, seized brick and struck and struck her. She jumped up, grabbed him, got him down and struck at h1m with chamber vessel, but missed her aim, the ves- sel being smashed. He got on top of her and hit her again with the brick She said, Don't hurt me; I've got something for you." He grabbs shovel and struck her again h. sensible. He kept pounding her with the brick till she stopped breathing. Then want ing to see the blood flow he cut her neck three times with case knife, almost sever- ing the head from the body. The murderer then covered the corpse with old clothes, locked the doors and lad down on a lounge. His two youngest boys returned from school at noon, but he refused to let them in and they returned to school. At D. m. his wife returned and tried the doors. He refused her admittance, saying ''Your mother is dead and I killed her." She gave the alarm. Off, cers were summoned and the man was arrest ed and lodged in North Cambridge jail. The medical examiner found the woman's skull fractured, her nose broken and throat cut. There is great excitement in the community owing to the wealth and standing of the par ties. An autopsy will be made tomorrow. The murderer realizes his deed and says he has wanted to die long time. He wants to be hung in a month.

Two Moral Lessons.


 There are couple of moral lessons run ming at large over the country. One grows out of the fact as alleged, that Jesse James never used tobacco or whlskey. Had he done so he would most probably have been un- fitted for life of great exploit such as his was The lesson is for murderers and out laws, at whom, by the way, most moral les sons are aimed, not to impair their natural powers by excesses if they wish to achieve his success. Temperance advocates will see to it that this lesson does not fail of being i'm pressed upon the sensitive minds of ambitious youth. Moreover Jesse was converted in 1S66," and at his funeral his fellow church members sang "What friend we have in Jesus" and the officiating clergyman was very careful not to hurt the feelings of the family by any hint of possible baekslidIng. On the whole, Mir. James appears to have been a moral temperate and religious man, much esteemed in death. Another lesson Is that taught by the experience of Sergeant Ballen- tine, now one of the leaders of the English bar. He made but S23 in his first six months practice His second year brought him only $153 and his third but $3S3. This was some thing more than $4 a week for two years and half He was getting disgusted, not to say desperate But luck will turn when lowest His did An unusually liberal client hired him to do S7.5O worth of work and paid him. Ballentine pad $15O for a square meal, and then staked the rest on game of chance in gambling house. When he left he had $190 in his pocket, the height of his fortune up to that time It is believed that he never had less than that sum since. So great now is his reputation as a lawyer that it costs several hundred pounds to ask him a question: and he is worth large fortune. The moral is too obvious, altogether too ob- vious Let us drop it.

 The Opposition to Collector WOrthington NEW YORK, April 20.-A special to the Commercial Ad0ertiser from Washington says that at the instance of Senator Hoar the Sen ate Commerce committee to-day postponed action upon the nomination of Colonel Wor thington as collector at Boston for another week. The reason for the postponement is to enable certain persons to be heard in op position to the nomination being confirmed Exactly of what character the opposition is has not been developed, but it loses much by being carried on secretly and not in ar open manner.
