A FiendislR Crime.

AT very early hour one morning
last week, a crime was attempted by
incendiaries in Cleveland, Tenn. Lit
appears that Mrs. Harvey and her
three daughters, who resided at that
place, we're generally disliked by
their neighbors, and in order to get
rid of them plot was formed to set
the house on fire while they were
sleeping.
At the time set for the execution
of the foul crime, all the lower doors
and windows of the house were Sc
cured from the outside and the house
was fired in several places. The
flames spread rapidly and soon af-
terward the terror stricken inmates
appeared at the upper windows of
the premises, uttering the most sad
and agoniZing cries for help. They
were rescued a moment before the
burning roof of the building fell in.
The hair was burned from the heads
of the unfortunate women and their
faces and hands badly blistered. No
arrests have yet been made.

Charles Hunt, said to have been a
natural son of Daniel Webster, and
a man of fine culture, but who has
recently led wandering life, ex-
pired in a saloon on Blocker street,
New York, May 26. He had been
in the habit of going there to do odd
jobs. Between eleven and twelve
O'Clock it was noticed that he was
shivering, like one suffering from
ague, and hot drink was made for
him, which he swallowed eagerly.
Suddenly he was seen to lift up his
hands and clutch wildly at the air,
and then he dropped on the floor
dead. Charles Hunt was a man
formerly well known, having held
positions in the Treasury Depart
ment, at Washington and other
public trusts.

Those who have time of making
garden in early spring, and doing
up the sowing all at once, do not get
the greatest good from their gar
dens. There are many vegetables of
which the season can be greatly
prolonged by making successive
sowings. A striking example of this
is sweet corn, which, by judicious
servings, may be had every day until
frost stops its growth. In many
localities the most thoroughly trop-
ical plants, such as Lima beans, okra
and the melons, do better if put in
now than if sown earlier. For sue
cession, after the first sowing, put in
bush beans, beets, cucumbers and
other pickle plants. Carrots, kohl
rabi and satisfy are among those that
may still be sown and make crop
before frost arrives.

Whom he has Been Married
Thirty nine Years.

From travelling man, who came in on
the X. & L train this morning, BAzOu
reporter learned the particulars OF mos
sensational elopement, which has recently
been agitating the usually quiet little town
of Marionsville, Lawrence county, Mis-
souri. The parties dramatis persOEa in
the sensation are Dir J. u. Wharton, a
prominent member of the Methodist
church of Marionsville, and man who
has hitherto borne an irreproachabis
character, and Mrs. Maggie McGill, the
leader of the choir i'm the Methodist church
and the mother OF an Interesting family OF
three children. During TIE period that
they were thrown INTO constant intimacy,
whilst serving the Lord in the
same vineyard. Mr.. Wharton
and Mrs. Mculll formed An unhOiy affec-
ton for each other. This illicit love grew
stronger and deeper Until finally
AN ELOPEMENr WAS PLANNED.
Mrs. McGill, whs is rather PROPOSES

pair met at the Ringo house, at Mexico,
Mo-, Oh the evening OF the 18th of Scptem-
Der, where they registered as j. w. Hill
and wife. Parties who were at the Ringo
house at the time repeat an interesting
conversation which occurred between Mr..
and Mrs. Hill (?) in the parlor. Wharton
had told the clerk that he might be sur
prised at an old fellow like him having
such young wife, ''but you bet she is dead
gone ON me-" remarked the ancient
Lothario, "and damn me If she Amt a
daisy" Mrs. Wharton, by brevet, incident
ally learned this conversation, and while
she was gratiied at the compliment Der
gray haired lover had paid her, she was
riled at his indiscretion
Accordingly, on his return TO the pa Tor,
she thus affrctionately addressed him !:
"You Id fool, YOU, do you want to give
the whole business away?' "well We are
far enough away TO be safe" replied the
amorous Wharton. Mrs. Wharton, alias
Hill, alias McGee, did Not seem TO be So
certain about that, and she gave orders
that the utmost discretion should be OBJ
