Powers Conferred Upon Clerks of
Courts of Ordinary.
Among the acts passed by the last
legislature was one authorizing a mar
ried woman to be appointed an admins

: speciaI Appeal for Charity

SAVANNAH, Nov. 6.-EditOr Morning
Ne1cs: Truly our citizens have been very
liberal in their subscriptions to those who
suffered by the recent fire. Adam Rogers,
one of the victims Of the fire, was good
and worthy man, hard worker; and
last season planted a crop of cotton and
was unfortunate enough to lose 1t all by
the caterpillar. He was working only
temporarily in the warehouse of Messrs.
Garnet. Stubs Il Co.. and lost his life.
He leaves a wife and two young children
very poor. Would it not be appropriate
for the Relief Committee to look into the
condition Of his family and to help them
if possible? The writer knows his family
and believes them to be worthy of any
charity that the committee see fit to give
them. ID. l.. r.

A special to the Oregonian from Cheney,
W. T., Jan. 7, says: Saturday morning
about 10 o'clock Chinese prostitute named
Chung Sow was found lying on her bed
literally chopped to pieces. She was still
alive, but soon breathed hef last. The
weapon with which the murder was com
mitted, an ordinary axe, was found in the
room. It~was supposed that Lee Chow,
who until few days since was pantry
man at one of the hotels here, was the mur-
derer, and as he had left..on the west bound
train Saturday morning, a telegram was
sent to Conductor Finn, who arrested him
at Ritzville. The woman's jewelry was
found on his person, and bloody garments
and other incidents point to his guilt. He
was brought to Cheney on the afternoon
train and lodged in Jail.
At 10 o'clock Saturday night mob of
eighty citizens went to the Jail, broke the
lock, and in ten minutes Lee Chow was
swinging from the limb of a neighboring
bull pine. A guard who had been placed
in the JAIL made no resistance, and there
was but little noise or excitement. The
murderer and the victim now lie side by
side. and an inquest will be held to-morrow
over both.

Suicide at the Asylum.

Of the sudden death OF that unfortunate
one with whom many readers of the GAZETTE
We're we'll acquainted the Daily Standard
of the 9th says;
S. H. Thompson, who has been an inmate
of the insane asylum at East Portland for
several years suicided last Saturday. He
had been persistant, during his confinement
in the asylum, in a determination to take
his own life, and had made repeated attempts
in this direction. So frequent, indeed, had
been these attempts, that the attendants had
received strict orders to watch him carefully
an l it had been customary to give him his
meals in a room by himself, in which there
was nothing with which he could do him
self injury. As a further precaution the
window IF his, room was covered with a
wire screen, which was fastened at the mid :
die, about four feet from the floor, with a
small paddock. While in this room Satur-
day afternoon Mr.. Thompson took his pock-
ct handkerchief and tying in around his
neck, hung it on the paddock and then, by
bending his knees, with his feet resting on
the floor, strangled himself to death. The
body was sent to Corvallis last Monday
to his wife who iives there, and was inferred
in the Masonic cemetery
