lover, and the couple became engaged. The

future happiness. After a short stay in New

some weeks he has exhibited himself in mu-
scum. No sooner had he arrived here than
Miss Coleman appeared upon tho scene and

the couple and requested to unite them in
matrimony. Inquiries disclosed the fact that
while the lady is Catholic Che Nah is
Bhuddist and the priest dismissed them, re-
GREETING his inability to comply with their re-
guest. The couple then left, the eyes of both
being filed with tears.

authorities for performance of the marriage
ceremony, and until she changes her mind the
marriage has been postponed.

Brutal Murder of Little Girl by Her
Father.
GoLCoNDA, ILL.,, Nov. 14.-William Phelps,
residing at Dixon Springs, found fault with
with his six-year-old daughter yesterday for
some trifing offence, and the child began cry
ing. This incensed the father, and he COM
menced yelling at her, which added to her
fears and caused her to cry the more loudly.
This was too much for Phelps, and he paced
the floor of his apartments, swinging his arms
violently and filing the air with shreks and
curses. By this time the little girl had nestled
in corner almost lifeless with fear, her sohs
being less frequent. Suddenly the infuriated
man turned around, as if struck by some un-
seen power, and riveted his eyes on the almost
unconscious body of the child. Then, with
bound he sprang upon her, struck her upon the
head, and stamped upon her until life was ex-
tinct The brute then left the house, and
mounted horse, made rapidly for the woods.
AS soon as the news became known party OF
citizens held a council and decided TO capture
the murderer aud lynch him without ceremony.
They are now searching the country in every
direction, and are hopeful of securing the
wretch before many hours.
