ST. LOUIS, February 23.-A telegram
to the Post Dispatch from Jefferson City
says: The convicts in the penitentiary
had just returned to their chops from
dinner to-day when preconcerted mu.
tiny broke out in the harness shop of
Jacob Strauss & Go. Four convicts
seized Van Horn, the foreman of the
collar shop, and told him to remain quiet.
-Four other convicts seized Snider, the
foreman of the harness shop, and stripped
him Of his clothes. John Il. Johnson,
tho -inglesder, highway robbar serving
sentence for twelve years, ran into the
department where horse collars are
stuffed and set q lot Of loose straw on
fire. In moment the building, with its
three shops for harness, collars aud
whips, was on fire. Great confusion
ensued. The guards ran in with hose
and were met by convicts who cut the
hose. The ringleader, johnson, then
made an effort to escape over the walls,
but despite the fact that he had knife
and club he was captured and put in a
dungeon. His seven companions were
also confined in dark cells. The fire
was got under control, but not until the
following shops were completely de-
stroyed: Strauss & Co.'s harness shop,
collar shop and whip factory, loss $780,
900; Gienck's boot and shoe shop, $780,
600; Mysenburg's shoe shop, $50, 1000
state weaving and slate machinery shops,
10000; Excelsior loom factory, 800, 900
The total loss, with damage to minor
State buildings, will reach 100000.

A Brutal Mother

The little town Of Davidson College

bed with excitement over u message
brought from the country in great haste
announcing TINT woman named Brown,
living near the place, had been killed by
her little son. Not until DR.. Holt, a
physician in the place, whose services
were called for in great haste, had
returned to tho viiinge from the woman 3
bedside, did the feeling at all subside.
1t appears that Mrs. Brown, the wife
of James Brown, living on the farm of
Mr.. ]. G. Hood, near Davidson College,
allowed herself TO be seized with tit of
passion, growing out Of domestic matters,
by the instigntion of the devil or some
other evil spirit, resolved to give vent
to her rage on the person of her little
daughter, aged about IA years. She tied
strip of cloth around the little girls
neck and swore she was going to s,rangle
to death her own offspring The inhu.
maa mother had by persistent work well
nigh accomplished her most wicked under.
taking when her little son who was sick
and in bed on the second floor of the
house, hearing his sister gasping for life,
went down and pleaded with his mother

deed she had sworn to perpetrate. The
hell Of rage within the woman could not
hear the voice of he. son, and the boy
saw it. Between the inhumanity of his
mother and the innocence of his sister,
the boy could not hesitate end seeing
his sister almost in death struggle, he
took up a chair and, with one heavy
blow, sent her would.be murderer to the
floor, deprived of consciousness. She
remained breathless for while, and
unconscious for some time, but when DR..
Holt left the house she was conscious,
yet suffering from serious but not dan

tleman who visited Colonel Marsh Il.
Polk yesterday in the Nashville Jail says
that be can scarcely speak above whis.

last Tuesday, and that if confined in Jail
he would not live more than a mouth.
1t is thought that he can not live more
than six months even if taken out OF
jail and afforded all the necessary com

depleted. It was also stated that the
stencil arising from the river into his
cell wss insuffe.able. and that this alone
was enough to keep one sick. Congress.

that Colonel Polk's bondsmon have
