HEART AT THE WINDOW.

RICHMOND, Va, June 30.-Jesse
Quartes, q young man who has been
working some time in q tobacco manu-
factory in the town of Goodson, in this

self, He had been IN love with Belle
Sayer5, 3 girl of sixteen years, for
some time, who boarded at the same
house he did. She did not encourage
his attentions. About 7 o'clock last
evening he borrowed an axe and went
directly to where the young girl sat by
a window of her room and walking up
to her struck her with the blade of the
weopOn upon the head, making cash
three inches long aud cleaving the
skull. The girl cannot live. Qlartes

officers and jailed. There are serious
threats of lynching, and the guards
who took him to prison had great diff

snatcning the prisoner away from them
although they were heavily armed and
ready to repel. On the death Of the
girl, which is expected, 3 further effort
at lynching is apprehended.

Washburn'S Grave.
NO TOMBSTONE MARKS TIA MILLION
AIRES MEMORY.

MILWAUKEE,, June 30.-COl. Florian
Refs this morning said to reporter:
When was in La Crosse lately, the
folks took pride ia showing me their
beautiful cemetery. 1t was but natural
for me to inquire where the remains of
our great ana good Gov. G. c. Washburn
are inferred. But establishment hardly
describes the feelings [ had when the
grave was shown me, and noticed that
while his heirs are wrangling in the
courts over the fortune he left them,
yet none of them ever thought of pro-
viding his sepulchre with tombstone.

PERJURY TOO PLENTY AT THE CAPITcL.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-In the GRIM
inal court, in a closing address in the
Greek murder case, United States Dis
trict Attorney Corkhlll made the fol-
lowing remarks: [ cannot allow thio
occasion to pass without calling atten-
to the remarkable exhibition of want
of character Of the witnesses both for
the government and defense. Ia this
case and IN one tried few weeks ago
Of q similar character, at least one
hundred witnesses have been examined
and SO much perjury and
utter disregard of the OBJ
legation of an oath | never
saw In court. 1t suggests to nae that
those worthy and benevolent gentle
men and ladies VINO are soliciting
money and devoting their time to re
form and christianlzing the heather
from Greenland to Africa, can find
work closer at home here at their own
capital. If these one hundred people
represent the nejghborhood in which
they live under the very dome of this
temple of justice and within the sound
of the church bells, there's fields ripe
for harvest and as worthy of the labor,
as fully demanding their attention as
can be found on the sands af Africa or
the shores of Abyssinta."

An Enjoyable Occasion.

On Monday evening the annual banquet
of the Royal Arcanum come off, in the
lodge rooms of the order, and the adjoin-
ing rooms of VIM. Vischer. There were
some sixty guests in attendance. Two
long tables extended through the hall,
filled with a most bountiful supply of pro-
visions. The Wellington Orchestra dis
coursed excellent music, interspersed with
Duets and solos by Mr.. and Mrs. Metcalf
in their happiest style.
At Z O'Clock, the assemblage sat down to
the supper, each brother accompanied by
his lady, and invited guests and ladies all
seemed to be in their happy mood.
The ceremonies of the occasion were
presided over by Hon. R. A. Horr. Toasts
were drank, and responses given. The
first Toast was "Our guests" responded TO
by Hon. j. ii. Dickson. Rev. w. G. Ward
responded to the Toast, "Our Order" in a
happy manner; while Rev. F. S. Moore
spoke to the inspiring theme, Home"
Rev. j. \. Daily spoke to the last Toast in
Il very entertaining and facetious speech.
The Toast was "a glimpse of the Goth GEN.
tury. The speech was enlivened with wit,
anecdote and prophecy. 1t convulsed the
assemblage with laughter. Prof Kinni-
sons response to the Toast "Women," was
happy indeed. He tried to steer his ora
torical craft clear of breakers, and sue
ceeded admirably. His description of the
abstract woman" was happy.
| These annual banouets of the order are
really highly enjoyable occasions, and not
without profit. They serve to promote
good fellowship and geniality, and arc TO
be looked forward to as rare occasions.
Much praise is due the committee for the
excellence of the whole affair, gotten up in
two days time. The order, before ad-
journing, voted thanks to VIM. Vischer for
the use of his rooms and pianos. At the
next annual may we all be there.

she dispensed hope, and gladness, and
sunshine. Her christian faith was intelli-

every earthly or physical discouragement.
The floral offerings accompanying the last
offices to her memory were numerous and
lovely, pillow of smilax and white flow
ers, with the word REST" wrought in pur-
pie immortelles, being among them. A

Obituary.

Mrs. ELISHA SHELDON, whose maiden
name was Sallie Peters, was born Oct. %,
1914, in Harpersfeld, Delaware Co., NY,
and died of Pneumonia, Feb. 4th, 1888, at
her home in Penfield, Ohio. Mr.. and Mrs
Sheldon were married, and came TO Ohio
in the spring of 1885, and settled on the
farm which they have transformed from
modious and pleasant of country homes.
Five of their seven children are living.
In 1888, Mrs. Sheldon united with the
Baptist Church, at LaGrange, and when
there were enough to form a society in
Penfield, she was one of those who took
letters and became member of the
church Organized there. OF serious and
devout mind, she was strictly. conscien
tious in her ideas of religious duty, and
firmly devoted to the principles of the
Bible, of which she was a dilligent reader,
and to the church, of which she was a
most loyal and consistent member.
Industrious, and frugal in habit, shecon-
tributed her share to the material prosper
ity with which her husband was blessed,
and. as wife and mother was devoted
and selfsacrificing.
Though suffering from symptoms of a
general cold since early in the week it was
not until Friday that her condition became
alarming. and then the progress of the di-
sease was rapid. She had long been suf-
ferer from general debility and heart diff
Guilty, and had little power of resistance to
acute disease. She had lived too long in
anticipation of the change that comes to
all to be found unprepared, and the chill
dren, the aged husband, and all who knew
the genuineness of her christian faith, rest
assured that il is well with her. Her fun
eral occurred at the family residence, Tues
day, at IL o'clock.
''Needs there the praise of love-written record,
The name and the epitaph graved on the stone ?
The things we have lived for-let them be story,
We ourselves but remembered by what we have
done.
Gladly away from this toll would hasten,
Up to the crown that for me has been won,
Unthought Of by man in rewards or in praises,
Only remembered by what have done"
