Some men are so anxious to delive,
their impromptu remarks at public din,
ners that they commence talking before
the eating begins. 1t is q mistake. A
table speech should not be made until
the hearers are in 4 condition to. think
everything said is both. witty and wise.

Jacob Melting, the Murderer OF Ada Atlzin-
son in Indiana, Placed Beyond the Pos
sible Effect of an Insanity Plea.
FOWLER, IND, Nov. 49,
Finally Jacob Melting, the murderer of
Ada Atkinson, has paid the penalty of his
crime. He was taken from Jail last night
and lynched The affair was well planned
and carefully and coolly executed. About
half-past ten O'Clock "a lone horseman
might have been seen" riding into town.
He rode completely around the Courthouse
and Jail. and seemed to be taking survey
of things, after which he rode away again.
Two or three people who happened to be on
the street saw it was rather q curious &C.
ton, but the idea that he was scout for a
party of lynchers never seems to have sug-
gested itself until, in about an hour after,
three hundred masked men rode into town.
They hitched their horses, posted guards to
warn away citizens, went to the east door
of the Jail where they soon forced an en-
trance by breaking down the door with
sledges. They then quietly, but with great
determination, proceeded to break the iron
some time, perhaps half an hour. Soon,
however, the doors gave. way under the
sturdy strokes. Old man Melting met them
at the door of his cell, already dressed and
ready to go to his doom. He was quickly
walked to the carriage, in, which was. a
rope. The old fellow took the matter coolly
so far as can be learned. He made no re-
sistance nor outcry. The only remark that
he made was - Go a little slow, gentlemen,
am older than some of YOU" The party
having secured their man rode out of town
toward Oxford. Later news was received
from Oxford that Melting had been hanged
there at half past one o'clock

Destruction by Fire of the ssP'' Line Steam-
ar Parisot Near Natchez, Miss. Together
with 8, Large and Valuable Cargo Some
Loss of Life Feared.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. IS.
The steamer S. q. Parisot of the ''P" line,
engaged in the yiclxsburg and New Orleans
trade, was burned this morning about day
light near Bullets Bayou, few miles above
Natchez. The Parisot left Vicksburg yes
terday morning at ten o'clock with the
largest cargo ever carried by her, and with
a good passenger list. At afew minutes
before five o'clock, just below Goodhope
landing, the cottonsstored amidships was
discovered on fire. Engineer Clarity be-
gan working the pumps without sounding
the alarm, but the fire spreading, an alarm
was sounded. Pilot Voltz at once headed the
steamer for the Louisiana shore. The boat
struck the bank and lines were put out.
Nearly all the passengers rushed to the
bank in night clothing, carrying other gar
ments, and abandoned all other baggage,
tiewelry and money. Before the crew got
safely off the lines burned and the vessel
drifted into the stream. Yelr Boring,
second engineer, stood at his post until sur
rounded by fire. Finding he could do no
more, he jumped into the river and SWAN
ashore. A portion of the crew was taken
off in a yawl. There was great excitement
among them. Two jumped into the river,
and one, Phil Burdbarg, drowned. w hen
the news of the disaster reached Natchez
the steam tug D'Brien started for the scene,
and showed the steamer on sand bar.
Soon after, the powder in the Parlsots
magazine exploded, The steamer City OF
,Yazoo, of the same line, en- route to Vicks-
burg, took the Parisot's passengers out of
1.-THE canebrake and brought them to Natchez.
IOrigin of the fire unknown. The boat had
t6ftv- ioht deck messengers. many of whom
insisted on smoking, and it is Believed the
fire resulted from their carelessness. 1t is
feared that two or three deck passengers
persisted in the flames. The boats papers
were lost The boat had on leaving Vicks-
burg 300 bales cotton, ], 1856 sacks of oil.
cake and $50 barrels oil. She took on after
leaving Vicksburg AGA bales cotton, bring
ing the total up to 1854 bales.

A DOUBLE MURDER.

A Mother and Daughter Fou1ly Murdered
and the Blind and Crippled Father Cru
ely AssauIted-An for Plumber. cps
NEW YORK, Nov. Is.
On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Lydia May
bee, the wife of Gerritt Maybee, an
aged Long Island farmer, who has been
blind and paralyzed in his lower limbs for
fourteen years, and her daughter Mary
Ann, were brutally murdered in their barn
at the hamlet of Brookville, near Oyster
Bay. At sunset the mother and daughter
went to the barn to milk, leaving the in
valid alone. Miss Weeks, living opposite,
heard the cry of murder and summoned
neighbors. When they reached May
bees house the old man was suffering from
wounds on the face and head, inflicted by
a club in the hands of the thief, who Sc
cured the valuables of the family. May
bee said that he feared his wife and daugh-
ter had been murdered. The barn was
searched and the bodies of both foundin a
COW stall, covered with leaves. The body
had been choked to death. No trace of the
murderer has yet been obtained.
The murderer is believed to be a tramp
who has haunted that partt Of the country
for year, and who, two or three hours at
ter the murder, took a train for Brooklyn
from Westbury station, about six miles
from Brookville. He was last seen leaving
the train in Brooklyn. Detectives are look
ing for him, and the town Board of Oyster
Bay have offered five hundred dollars re-
ward for the conviction of the murderer.
= A strange thing in connection with the
murder is the fact that exactly one year
ago on Saturday, when the younger OF the
victims entered a shed near the house, she
found man behind the door, who at
tempted to choke her, and who was only
prevented from doing so by the appearance
Of Mrs. Maybee, who dragged him off.
There are no means of discovering now
whether the murderer was the assailant of
a year ago.

Two Great Conductors.

So many people fancy, and many
unfortunately have given way to their
fancy, that to & conduct wants only to-
take stick and beat time. Certainly
in very easy instances, this may be sui
ficient, but in such cases without any
conducting at all the band would go on
as the German street bands go on with
out any conductor Thus / have seen
Mime. Trebelli conduct chorus in st.
James' Haff,~and, certainly this amia-
BILE artist stands too high in her. profess
sion to try and aspire to what is not her
business, So sthe syiseountess Folke-
stone certainly accom- pfished "a :aiffiaalt
task in training number of young la
dies, and forming ssringed orchestra,
which under her able guidance perform
not very difficult, but very pleasing
pieces with wonderful dash. l do
not think that one member of the whole
orchestra is as old as twenty five years
and a remarkable ensemble. But if it
came to PLAYING great and difficult
scores, the reading OF which is already
a great. difficulty, the judging of the
right movement, the entry of 3instru-
ments that have sonnet mes fifty, sixty
bars to count, and the look at the con-
ductor's eye to guide them at the pre-
! else moment of entry-when it comes
! to making the orchestra understand and
| execute the intentions OF the composer,
then it is when the great conductor
| shows the stuff he is made of. How Of

upon the clarinets and eXclaimlng:

Then. each of them gave his A. when
with unfailng certainty not only did he
perceive an infinitesimal difference, but

how to remedy'it. 1t happened in our
days to one of the greatest conductors
living, Hans Richter, that the orchestra,
when he first led it, meant to play him
some pranks, for, belt known, that is
| just what. orchestras in general are
] mostly inclined to do. The moment a
new conductor comes before them, they
try any sort of tricks to see how he. will
get out of it. Thestfrst thing that hap.
pened was that the hornist played q
passage badly, and when Richter re-
monstrated, he Very obligingly said:
Perhaps you would not mind showing
me what 1 am to dop'' B with pleas.
ure,n said Richter, took the horn out OF
his hands, and showed him. After he
had done so to several other instru.
ments, they were satisfied as to what
they wanted to know, and now it is suf
ficient for him to lift up his hand, ano
they understand, and instantly endeav.
or to carry out his instructions. -Tena

Over a Twenty-FOot Embankment--At.
Least One Person Fatally and a Large
Icumber Seriously Injured
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Nov. IS.
A bad wreck occurred on the Rock Is
land Railway at Jamesport, asmall station
sixteen miles south of Trenton, Grundy
County, at eight o'clock this morning. A
special coach filled with st. Paul 6 Mime
sapolis excursionists, en- route to Los -Ange-
les, Cal, attached to the rear of the regu-
lar express train from Chicago, left the
track, and, breaking loose from the re-
,mainder of the train, rolled down a twenty
foot embankment, totally demolishing the
coach and injuring twelve passengers, one
fatally, four seriously and seven slightly.
when the wrecked coach landed at the bot
tom of the embankment the stoves set the
splintered woodwork on fire, but the fire
was put out before it gained much head
way. The coach rolled over twice and it is
remarkable that so few were injured. The
train officials went promptly to the rescue
OF the wounded and conveyed them to
Trenton, the headquarters of the division.
The following is list of the injured
Adam Gotham, terribly crushed; died
three hours afterwards.
Mrs. Adam Gotzian, two-year-old child,
and grand niece, all badly cut on head and
injured internally.

bruised.
Fully twenty others sustained slight
bruises. The wounded were left at Tren-
ton in charge of railway surgeons. The
train proceeded on to the city, arriving
eight hours late. The wrecked coach be-
longed to the Minneapolis & st. Louis Road
and the accident was caused by the break
ing of a wheel in the rear truck.
