Prank Fr.yne bischarged.

] CIscINsATI, December Frank Frayne
was before the Police Court this morning, on
the charge of granddaughter, Tor shooting
Annie Won Behren at the Coliseum Thester
during the performance OF ST Slocum at the
Thanksgiving matinee. He appeared quite
calm at the beginning, but as the testimony
proceeded he was restless and at times deeply
affected. The prosecution offered the testi-
mony of Sergt. Benniger, who saw the shoot
ing and who arrested Frsyne, and of Mr..
Beane, member of the company, who ex-
planned the cause of the accident. He said
the thread of the screw that holds the
spring catch was worn or torn of, and the
screw was blown out of the gun, loosDg its
hold, permitting the gun barrel to drop, and
that sent the bullezbelow It's aim. Mr..
Frayne's breast and neck were burned and
blackened By the powder escaping at the
rested, and said the charge of granddaughter
should be sustained by the statute, which
forbids any one TO point a loaded gun at or
toward another person. Counsel for Frayre
claimed that the statute did not apply, as
the gun was not pointed at the deceased but
at an apple Elk inches above her head He
alec that Frsyne had already suf-
Tered the worst that could happen to any
0ne, and tina. no pHnishment by the Law
could give greater weight 10 the lesson of
his accident. Judge Higley leaned to the
opinion that the statute was not disobeyed
N this case, because the gun was aimed at
IN object and not a person. He said the |
estimony clearly showed that there was not |
he slightest criminal inten', and that the |
prisoner should be discharged. The an |
louncement was greeted with emphatic |
applause. |

vehement selfaccusaiion, and vehement in
quirv. With such an example DR.. Tai
mage can well afford TO scorn the criticisms
OF his sssailsnts. Indeed this eminent divine
has suffered nothing from the tax OF censure
which is levied upon men OF talent in all
ages and in all countries. The privilege OF
Lowing tnis odious impost on ministers Of
the gospel has become vested right, and no
clergyman's name Ia entitled to repose or
safety until his character has been duly
cudgeled and the last particle OF earthly
dross extracted in order to qualify it, by this
purgatorisl process, for future happiness and
exemption from calumny. The Rev. 7. De-
Witt Talmage has passed through the cruci-
bic and has come out refined gold, for after
nosing into his life, it has been discovered
that he is guilty OF only two crimes-the
crime of presching against iu6-
deity and the atrocious crime of preaching
with fervor, earuestness and enthusiasm.

A JEALOUS SPOUSE,

Yesterday a colored man named John
Conner was brought to the stationhouse,

her. SO he called at her home, which is sit
1ated just north Of the brick church, in

and she called out to know who it was.

her. She said Matilda Foster, and told him
10 go away. he was convinced that she was
not telling the truth and that she ad a man
with her, 30 he broke in the door by kicking
II in. The bed was just inside. When Con-
ner got inside he saw on the further side OF
the bed form which he mistook for that of
man, and In frenzy Of jealousy he drew
from his person slender butcher knife and
drove it into the body of Matilda Foster.
Conner plunged his knife several times into
her side, and finally, perceiviug that
he was striking woman, he fed
lew minutes bsfore the woman
died. Word was sent to Capt. O'Haver who.
IN company with sergt; Kunholz, started out
IN search OF the murderer. They did NOT
get started on their horses before midnight.
Alter going 10 number OF places they pro-
eeeded 10 the house of a negro named Gil.
bert, who lives some FIVE miles out in the
country on the new Raleigh road. The on
GERS approached the house cautiously. and
looking through the slightly opened door
they beheld Conner sitting in a chair
before bright FIRE, sound asleep.
OHaver and Kunholz quietly entered and
aroused the sleeper. He made considerable
resistance, but was speedily overpoWered.
He was securely bound and led back 10 The
city and deposited in the stationhouse early
yesterday morning. He at FIRST denied the
deed, but finally admitted having killed the
woman under the supposition that she was a
man.

unquestionably be closed, because men can

The Third Accident in the
NeighborhOOd.

The Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern
railroad IL having a series OF mishsps,
which, If not hereafter guarded against, will
materially impair public confidence in The
road. 1ss,erdsy's APPEAL contained Rn
account OF an accident at Riplev, which
may yet result seriously to o1e CT two per

occurred, which will in all probability
TERMINATE IN THE DEATH
Of the injured party. The Chesapeake and
Ohio road has been running what il calls the
"Coyington Accommodation" The accom-
mediation consists usually in coupling on q
car or two to the regular freight train. The
people along the road do not generally re-
gard il as much of benefit, as the time
made between Memphis and Coyington is
sometimes five or six hours. When The train,
yesterday afternoon about 4 O'Clock, came 10
the rear OF Williams's mill, which is Just

THREE ACCIDENTS
have occurred in the neighborhood of Will
liams's mill. The cause of these accidents
is very apparent. The trestlework on which
the track is suilt is filed in with dirt, which
is constantly giving away on account Of the
action of he river. The west bank
lie very steep and needs piling in order 10
keep it firm and intact. Unless piling is put
on the river side a solid foundation will
never be secured and there will be
CONSTANT DANGER
from the spreading of the rails. A little
work in this direction would put a
stop 10 further accidents in this neighbor-
hood. The Chesapeake, Ohio and South
western cannot afford to take such risks with
the lives and property of he travelling and
public. IL w0ald be vastly more
to tx the track permanently and
securely. Unless this is done no one will
feel safe in travelling over the road.
