a Remar kabIe story In Court
How he Came to I'LL His Wife.

1t is not often that more remark
able story is heard in a courtroom
than was told last week by Lawyer G.
j. Lansing, of Eureka, New, on trial
for the killing of his wife. When he
took the witness stand the grief in his
face hushed the bar and the spectators
into plying silence. He began by
declaring that he had consented to say
what he would have to say about the
dead only upon the urgent requirement.
of his counsel, and tor the sake of his
daughter. Then he gave the jury the
history of his married life. Ever since
1864 it had been, he said, wretched in
all ways. His wife took to liquor.
She was a powerful woman, fully his
equal in strength. When drunk she
was violent, ferocirus. She repeatedly
attacked him, threatening to kill him,
and, as he believed at the time, mean
ing to carry out her threat. She threw
stones at his head, poured boiling water
on him, tried on several occasions to
stab him with the carving knife, once,
at least, drawing blood. SIZE followed
him into court, making such disturb
ance that the police had to remove her
by force. She burst into his office and
beat him over The head with rawhide
till the blood streamed down his face.
She beat his little daughter with an iron
poker. 81 felt like letting loose all holds

Once or twice be decided to leave her;
once he bought poison, and was on the
roint of swallowing it when he thought
of his laughter and threw it away.
Last year matters grew worse, until a
night cam3 when he did not dare to
sleep under the same roof with her, and
called in a neighbor. They tied her
wrists and ankles with silk handker-
chiefs. "I'll kill you for this, sure, -

he supposed, to get whiskey; "she Of

One of the most valuable of recent in.
ventions connected with the manufac.
ture of iron tubes and columns is that
described in United States Letters
Patent granted some days since to
Albert L. Murphy, of Norristown, re-.
Gently largely engaged in the manufac.
ture Of tubes, SC. The invention re-
lates to the manufacture OF seamless
tubing, shafting Columns, axles and
kindred hollow articles, and it consists
in making the tube directly from the
unreiined puddled iron known As
"muck iron" by arranging and securing
pieces of unrefined iron around a CEN
trail core of refined iron, and then roll.
ing or reducing the pile SO formed over
an internal mandrel or ball into tube
or column by suitable mechanism.
| BY this process q merchantable refined
iron tube column or like article of su.
perior strength, quality and cheapness,
can be made almost wholly from unre.
fined puddled or muck iron, thereby
saving the cost Of and dispensing who'll
ly with tho heretofore essential inter
mediate steps of finishing or converting
unretined puddled iron into sheets or
skelps prior to its manufacture intotub.
ing. One ofthe leading tube manutac-
turers of Philadelphia, is interested in it
and 1t is intended to commence
the manufacture of tube, columns
by this process at an early date
The saving effected in manufac curing
tube columns is at least 90 per cent
over the present method and as there are
upwards of Jour hundred tens of tubing
made and sold in this country every
day it may be imagined what a marked
influence the invention will have upon
this branch o. the iron trade. Mr.. Muir
ply ola inns that the making of tubes by
this process will enable manufacturers
to export the same all over the world,
a thing never contemplated heretofore.
