DO HAUNT HIS MIND STILL.

One bright morning last week
Tom Williams arose;
Bitter tears did he weep
After his nights repose.
He said to his wife
While his head it hung down,
"This day will plow
Along side ueighbor Brown"
Said his wife, "Dearest Thomas,
You look very bad,
As if trouble did haunt you
Or some disappointment you had"
"I've had no disappointment
My fortune to blight;
But those direful visions
That appeared in the night.
He sharpened his plow;
He reined up his steed,
And away to the plow field
He hastily did speed.
To dispel fears from those visions
He began tor to sing;
Though doleful it sounded,
The valley did ring.
He plowed but an acre
And 3 couple of rod
When he piOwed up corpse
From beneath the green sod.
He tainted and swoOned of
As he lay by the plOw,
Saying. "the visions Of last night
Are coming out nOw."
When he recovered his senses
He halloed for Brown
To come look at the sight
And report it in town.
Sir Browns best opinion
Was it must be foreigner
s'I'll dispatch to Columbus
And bring out the coroner"
Tom said it was q girl
Young, blooming and fair;
He could tell by her cheek bone,
And bright auburn hair.
Or it might be some traveller
That was robbed for his gold,
BY some srrant rascal
And laid here in the cold.
Brown went for Doc. Powell
To come witness the scene,
That Tom Williams had plowed up
From under the green.
While the Doctor and Brown
Went to the blood scattered field,
Tom went to town
To consult with Squire Field
To ask his advice
What steps to pursue,
As to the perpetratOr
Did they find clue.
Tom related his story
In q very sorrOwful way;
Every word he would speak
He would stop for to pray.
When the story was told
Squire Field he sat down;
Began William to scold
With a terrible frown;
He looked at Tom Williams
With a dOgmatical sigh,
Saying, "you rooted and plowed up
My dear old dog Fry.
"I had buried him there
Over one year ago
And covered him with care,
Beneath the deep snow.
"Where his bones they might rest
From many long race
Ger the hard beaten prairie
The wild Jack he did chase"
Tom Williams sleeps get
In . terrible trance
II he ever recOvers
It's only q chance.
The thoughts Of the corpse field
Do make his blood chill
And the ghosts Of the cur dog
Do haunt his mind still.

was promptly taken before the Board
of Insanity, who after due investiga-
ton found be belonged to this county,
and the deputy sheriff was according
ly dispatched with him. Rash imag-
ines himself to be the "Savior of Sim

spends a good deal of his time in
singing aud pounding an accompani-

for that purpose. Tuesday morning

Triple Tragedy i'm Hoozierdom.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 2S.-A horri-
bic triple tragedy occurred here at noon
to-day. on Court street, within half a block
of the court house. Jacob Bush, rental
agent and attorney in small way, some
time ago procured a divorce for Samuel
Aldenberg, and there was a general quar-
rel over the fee. Finally Bush sued Al
denburg for SANDER. To-day the latter
met the former on the sidewalk, and after
some words drew a pistol, and at dis
tanee of three feet shot him in the back,
the ball going clear through the body and
causing death. Aldenberg then shot down
to the ground. The bullet glanced, and,
making a slight flesh wound on the arm of
a livery stable employe, struck Sam Camp
bell, well known book binder, who pass
ing thirty feet away, entering the abdo-
men and making q dangerous and probably
fatal wound. Aldenberg then raised the
pistol to his own head and snapped it,
when the bystanders yelled and rushed at
him. He ran into the rear yard Of store,
and placing the pistol to his head, pulled
the trigger, scattering his brains and caus-
ing instant death. The whole tragedy did
not occupy four minutes, and occurred
within a diameter of thirty feet in the
narrow street. Aldenberg was about &C
years old; Bush and Campbell middle
aged, the latter unmarried.

FREDDIE'S FUN.
What 1t Cost to Follow After the
Lily.

Philadelphia Press New York Letter.
Freddie paid dear for his debasement.
In one great ieWelry store he spent $40 nnn
in presents for her, one item being a $780,
0O0 necklace. A day Or two before she
sailed he bought in the same establish
ment $4,000 present. She made quite
number of purchases at the same time, one
item being $3.50 gold chain for herself.
AS Mrs. Langtry publicly announced she
was going home to her husband and other
friends, what position does this silly youth
imagine he occupies? He cannot we'll be
her suitor. He probably wouldn't care to
be considered her valet, and she had 4 lit
tie black and tan pup before she came here.
She has done more to bring the stage in
to disrepute during her brief tarry here
than any dozen professionals have done in
a lifetime. She says she cleared $125,OOO
by her playing-a good term, for she GER
tainly did no Work-and she bagged at
least $45, 900 we know of in the guise of
imperishable jewels from her admirers.
Discounting a little for bounce, let us say
she carries with her-to her husband-a
net $1,000
What is the suggestion made at once to
five hundred younger, prettier women now
on the stage? Who is Mrs. Langtry: A
married English woman. What is she?
A woman made notorious by the public at
teDtions of the Prince of Wales. What in
duced her to go on the stage? The fact
that managers, believing her notoriety to
be a merchantable commodity, offered
money to exhibit her alleged charms. How
has she kept herself before the public?
Ask Freddie. In other words, she has
made more money as the fruit of her dis
repute than any two hundred first-class
actresses could make by their combined
attractions in a year. Notoriety supple
mented by cast-iron gall and u brace of
Freddies-this did the business. Thank
| heaven she is gone.
