PARTICULARS of the recent tragedy
near Richardson, Texas, have just been re-
ceived. Mrs. Brown Pearce, in the absence
of her husband, strangled her two small
children to death and then took large dose
of morphine and hung herself to one of the
joists of the house. Her husband came
home in time to cut her down before life
was extinct. He summoned physician,
who declared he could do nothing for her,
and she died in a short time. Mrs. Pearce
was subject to fits of temporary insanity,
and it is supposed that it was during one of
these that she played the unnatural part in
this shocking tragedy. She was very esti
mable lady, the wife of a well-to-do and
highly respected farmer, and the terrible
affair has cast gloom over the entire COM
munity.
THE steamer Little Eagle, raft boat,
struck the bridge pier at Hannibal, Mo-, on
the 23d, and Jerome Vallam, Silas Cooper,
and Henry Hauseman were drowned.
Captain Dawson, realizing the impending
danger, gave orders for all on board to jump
to raft in tow, but remained in the
pilot-house himself until the crash
came, expecting to jump from the
hurricane deck to the bridge. A second
later the boat struck the pier and parted
near the pilot house, and he fell head-long
down the break and into the water, but
came up some distance below the bridge
and was rescued by men in a skiff. John
w. Young, the cook, jumped headforemost
into the river and dived as deep as
possible, with the intention of going
under the boat and coming out be-
low. While down he felt the hot
boilers and endured a few terrible moments
of suspense. His head struck the pier and
he came to the surface a few feet away and
swan to the raft. His escape is miracle.
The Little Eagle is a total loss. She was
of the wreck still lies against the pier, just
where it struck, part of the debris having
floated down the river. This is the second
accident of the kind at this bridge. Six
years ago the steamer Dictator struck under
similar circumstances and seven
lives were lost.

rudely jostled by a drunken man named
Thomas Kelly, on Randolph street, Chicago,

head, killing him instantly. Many persons
were on the street at the time, and the ocho
of the shot had scarcely died away before a
throng collected around the dying man and
his slayer, and threats of 1ynching were
freely made, but the farmer, pistol in hand,
warned the mob not to touch him and
marched off. He was subsequently arrested,
but not until he had been well dubbed.
