A FK1IrLESS CHASE.


Hsavonox Hssnd . Uarese OF Tsa Miles n
sosfsh OF Cnseksn sd Turkey Thieves.
Considerable stsaias has been done for
TWO or three weeks past among the chicken
and turkey roosts of Bart township. On
fuesday morning, 14,h inst, Lewis Irwin
tracked . wagon through the village Of
Georgetown, by the aid of u psculiarity
in one Of the horses fOOt.marks. He had
9 turkeys stolen during the previous night.
The wagon he was tracking had been dur
ing the wee small hours" drawn up
near where his turkeys rocsted. The
track was followed to Mount
Pleasant, thence north to the
White Oak road, where it turned
eastward and was plainly seen all
the way to S. H. Rockey's, u distance of
nearly three miles. At Mr.. Rockeys the
trailers were informed that Mr.. Rockey
had some turkeys stolen and had tracked
the same wagon to Smyrna. Mr.. Twins
party went direos to Smyrna aud took the
trail again on the Christiana road, going
toward Christiana. About II miles east
OF Smyrna the wagon was turned
and came west toward Smyrna
again. This caused some surprise,
bnt sitter carefully examining tho road
The party concluded the track had been
doubled somewhere between that point anil
Smyrna and they followed the westward
trail, but found No divergence until they
reached Smyrna, where to their further
surprise they found the same tracks going
toward Georgetown, on the road on which
Mr.. Irwin lives. they continued to follow
it, and came t" the place from which
they started, having made a complete cir
cult of over ten miles to discover that
they had for portion Of tho time been
following the wagon Oh its trip out, and
no doubt passed the stolen property at
some point on the road. Mr.. Joseph Rice
had his whole brood stolen some time
previous, and c. Werntz, H. Cummins
and Others along tha same road have had
chickens and turkeys stolen. AT Mt.
Pleasant, about one mile west Of George
town, several attempts have been made to
get the poultry OF Mrs. Rogers, but she
being visiiant, has twice frightened them
off by shoot;n. at them. The presumption
is that al! this is done by tho same party
Or parties, aud by persons who are we'll
acquainted in the neighborkood.

How James e. Anderson Perishsd.

How James K. Anderson Perished.
Eureka Sentinel. November S.
Thomas Dale says that he and MIR. Reck
were standing together on the sidewalk,
with his back toward the street, and Mr..
Rack standing just in front of him. While
they stood conversing quietly Dale says
that Reck looked across the street and
said, without excitement: "There comes
Anderson" A moment after, he says,
the shooting began, the first shot being
fired from behind him. tie did not see
Anderson at the time. He was grabbed
by Reek, who held him in trout of him.
He struggled and got out Of the way as
quickly As possible.
Thomas Robinson was in the Empire
saloon, and beard number of shots.
There came an interval in the reports, and
he stepped out on tho pavement. He saw
Anderson starting out in pursuit Of man
who was running away. He did not
know who the man was. He saw Ander-
son about to level his pistol, and cried
out: Don't Jimmy you'll kill innocent
people," ThereupOn Anderson let his
weapon fall by his side and was picked up
by several who who ran to his assistance.
Dr. Stnwell says hc saw good deal of
tho fight from his drug store. The two
combatants fought around aud shot
around Thomas Dale. Reek was not hit
at all. Anderson was taken into Dr..
Sohneider's drug store. A great crowd
followed, against whom the door had to
be locked, that the few who entered might
not be embarrassed in their attentions to
the wounded man. The wounded man
suffered dreadful pain. The doctor gave
him dose Of morphine and also used
ch!oroform to quiet tho pain. but tho pain
was so great that tho anns:hetics had but
partial effect.
Mrs. Anderson, the highly esteemed
wife OF the unfortunate man, was admitted
through the back door. Her distress we
refrain from describing. 1t can readily
enough be imagined. Shortly after her
arrival he was placed upon bed and a
stretcher and carried home on the stall
wart shoulders of sympathetic men who
we're present.

bestowed upon mo by these friends I am
ccpt their kind offers, for :hc reason am

profound conviction that simple and
officers was most in accord with the spirit
OF republican institutions. There is no
reason that can see why the mere taking
of an oath by tho citizon called by the
people to execute public trust should be
made the occasion for scenes of pageantry
and demonstration. To my mind the
trusion Of such needless and inOpportune
display. The sooner We return to simpli-
city and democratic good sense in these
matters the better-better for the people
and better for the officers. Besides, am
resolutely determined that so far as can
control the matter. my Inauguration as
sylvania one dollar. Why should itp
and the money spent thereon is wasted.
These are my reasons for declining your
kind offer. I trust they may meet your
approval. OF course, the Inauguration is
public act and takes place in the eye Of
the public. Therefore it is the right of
such citizens as desire to do so voluntarily
and at their own expense to be present at
and witness the ceremony. All such I
will be glad to sec and meet on that oc.
casion. More than that l do not wish to

HORRIBLE cRl NJ r. or A NEGRO WOMAN
PlaclDg Her Little Child on q Red Hcs
stove to Get Rid of iI-l-ikely to Die
From its Dresdfui BurDs.

Placing Her Little Child on Ked-Hc,
stove to Get Rid Of II-IiEeiy to D:e
From its Dreadful iSurDs.
Martha Robinson, who tried to kill her
two year-old child a day or two ago, Is
locked up in Jail at Louisville, Ky. Her
crime was of the most brutal nature. She
is colored woman and lives in hcvel of
the lowest description. Her only COM
panion has been her little boy. She con-
sidered him a burden and became tired of
having him around. Her plan to get rid
Of him was that of a fend. She frst
heated a crazy old stove in her hovel until
it was red hot. and then stripping the
little boy until he was nearly naked,
placed him upon it. The child was ter
ribly burned. His screams of agony
seemed to frighten the woman, for before
the hot stove could finish its work she
snatched him off, wrapped him up in a
piece Of blanket and left the house.
By this time the child was insensible.
Perhaps the woman thought him dead,
She started off in the direction OF the liver.
but if she had any intention of tn; 1wing
the body into the water she changed her
mind. She wandered up town and finally
took the little bundle OF suffering Wretch
edness into hallway in the shoe factory
of Il. l.. Stevens s. Co., at No. 24S Seventh
street. At this point the child recovered
its voice and began to cry, though quite
family. After placing the child in tue
hallway the brutal mother sped down
Market street, but Officers Harlan and
Harlow, who were coming up Seventh
street, caught sight Of her, not thinking
for moment that she had any reason for
her flight. When opposite the hallway
they chanced to hear the groars of the suf-
fering child and soon discovered it lying
on the floor in the hallway. The officers
quickly connected the flying woman with
tue child aud they started after her, over.
taking her near Tenth Street. They took
the child with them, though they had no
idea Of its burned condition. When con-
fronted with her boy the woman acknowl-
edged she was the mother of it and de-
clared her purpose to have been to get rid
of it. The officers arrested her and took
her to the Twelfth street station house.
There an examination of the child disclosed
the frightful barbacitiss that had been
practiced upon it.
why did you do this? o. asked Officer
Harlan of tho woman.
Il wanted to get shut OF it, she replied,
care!essly, II put it on the stovs and am
sorry the thing wasn't roasted"
She was placed in eel! aud medica, aid
summoned for the child The terrible
burns are considered fatal.

good sense, declines q military escort to
the Inauguration and emphatically pro.
tests against any tawdry display or :.t-

insists that there shall not be any expen-

MURDERED AT A CHURCH FESTIVAL
An Aff:sy Between Rival Lovers That Re.
suited In the Death Of One of Them.


An AE:Ay Between Rival Lovers That Re
suited In the Death Of one of Them.
A terrible affray occurred at a church
festival, in CASTOR county, n. c., Saturday
night. Thomas Garibaldi and Rufus Ma
gill. were rival claimants for the hand OF
pretty Blanche Brant, tho belle Of the
county. At the festiva! Blanche smiled
on Garibaldi and snubbed Magill. Mapes,
a friend taunted Magill, when he became
enraged, jumped over and knocked down
an ice cream table. Mapes drew revolver
and shot at him, missing him. Maeill
shot Mapes in tho face breaking both
jaws. The girl shrieked and swooned. A
fearful panic ensued. Mon and women
tramped upon each other. Garibaldi be-
ing unsrmed, attempted to flee. Maeill
rushed at him, but lost his pistol in the
crowd. He then seized heavy iron shovel
and beat out the brains of Garibaldi in the
presence of the girl and fifteen others.
Mapes will die. Magill fled.
