KILLED ADJOURNED
Lincoln County, Tenn, Wild with Ex-

an Aged Woman
BY Her Husband-Seducti0 aud Death
Desperate ARRAY Between Italians
Crime and Criminals.

FAYETTEVILLE Tenn, March 19.-Lin.
coin county is wild with excitement over the
brutal murder OF Mrs. Nancy Dolan, sged
si1ty-three years. Her husband, aged sew
enty-two, was arreaiel on suspicion, and
safely lodged in Jail. Dolan, ihs prisoner
and husband of The murdered woman, says he
and his wife retired az usual Friday night.
About IL o'clock he WAS awakened by sui
locating smoke. Being very dark, he got up
10 ascertain its meaning, and had only ad-
vanced few feet from the bed, in the direc-
ton of the fireplace, when he came upon the
nude and lifeless body of his wife, with her
skull crushed 10 and every particle Of cloth
ing burned from her body. Blows on the
head were inflicted by a huge hickory club
three feet ia length aud of sufi-
cient diameter 10 have killed an
OK at one blow. After the discovery he
dragged her body through the front door and
out into the yard, and returning to the
house extinguished the flames that had
burnt away part OF the flooring in the room.
The supposed murderer then flies to a neigh
boris house. They return together and fad
the victim stark, charred and lifelesa, and
horribly mutilated, not thread OF linen re-
naming.
The fatal room is next visited. The walls
are found bespattered with blood, pools
stand on the floor, while the fatal club stands
against the fireplace, and two large holes are
burnt in the floor. Nothing is known OF the
guilt OF the husband further than strong cir
cumstantial evidence, which goes 10 show he
inflicted the fatal blows, and, in order to con-
csal the crime, fired the bui ding; but find
ing it did not burn her, and under the ex-
element of the moment, he dragged the
body out in the yard aud ran to the nearest
neig hbors and informed them Of the murder.
Dolan denies the crime, but the proof ia
strong. Due precautions are being taken, as
it would be no surprise if some attempt to
lynch him ia made. Dolsn is a well-to-do
farmer, and he and his aged wife had lived
together for twenty years.

A COWARDLY DEED.
Attempted Assassination OF Lady Flor
ence Dixie by Two Men Disguised
in WOmen's Clothes.
Increased Activity Among the French So.
clalists, Bat no Serious Disturb
ances-FOreign Notes.

LONDON, March 19-Lady Florence Dixie
was attacked at Windsor Saturday, by two
men disguised in women's clothes. Her
dress was cut with dapgers in several placer,
but she received no injury. Lsdy Florence
was walking in a secluded spot near the
place, when a man asked her what time it
was, she replying that she had no watch. She
afterward noticed that though they wore
women's clothes, their faces had been shaved
Much alarmed, she started TO walk away,
and was followed by the men, one of whom
seized her. she struggled 10 escape, but, gee
ing their dsggers, fell IN a svoon. This
occurred at o'clock in the afternoon. She
did not recover her senses until AS o'clock.
Lady Florence was Frustrated all yesterday.
The story OF the affair was ELECTED from her
only at intervals. The saving Of her life is
attributed to her ST. Bernard dog, which, it is
supposed, protected her while she lay in the
swoon. Lady Florence had no reason 10
suspect immediate danger, although she had
been somewhat fearful since the receipt Of
letters about the Land League. The last
thing she remembers is one OF the men push
ing quantity of mud in her mouth. On her
recovery che found both palms cut across,
and her gloves severed. There were two
dagger holes two inches apart in the
right breast OF her dress. A broad
steel corset rib had been broken by
the weapon, which had penetrated to the
inner lining of her dress at the first stroke,
and to her corset at the second stroke. Lady
Florence supposed che unconsciously srug-
gled with the men, assisted by her dog, until
the scouudrels were disturbed by cart pass
ing the woods. She received threatening let.
tiers while in Ireland, recently. One of the
men wore green dre.s and large hat with
veil. The yelled man attempted the as
sassination. No arrests have been made.
The police have slight clew to the assas.ins.
1t is believed the men were bitten in the strug-
gle. Lady Florence says the men spoke no
brogue. She remembers seeing her st. Ber-
nsrd dog drag one of them backward.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
MARCH 90. 1883
THE SOUTH TIE CONQUEROR.

THE SOUTH TEE CONQUEROR.
How many columns has the APPEAL, in
common with other Southern journals, had
10 write in order TO prove to their readers
having capital 10 invest, that cotton mills,
run where the cotton grove, we're bound 10
be proftablei How many more columns
had 10 be written to disprove allegations
mad by Eastern journals, in proof that cot
ton mills in the South could never be other
than losing yconcernsl Now all this is
changed. The splendid dividends yielded
by Southern mills have justified all the
APPEAL and other papers have said as 10
the proftableness of cotton manufacturing
in the South. The New England cotton
manufactures have just acknowledged, in
the strongest terms, the error Of all their
former attempts to prove that the South
could not manufacture cotton without loss.
They have appealed to the railroads to
change their classification go as to transport
"domestics" TO market at lower rates of
freight. The reason they give fsr this re-
quest is that, at present rates, they cannot
compete in Cincinnati, st. Louis, Louisville
and other markets 10 the West, with the
Southern manufacturers. The latter, they
say, have the raw material at their factory
doors; they save in commissions, their own
agents selling directly to the merchants;
while they have the advantage of saving
of 81 80 to 81 a bale on the freight of their
raw NJ aterial; wages are lower; the cost of
driving spindles and looms is less; and COM
petition against them in coarse and heavy
Roods, unless the railroads will come to their
relief, is impossible. The event will prove
ihat, with that relief, as without it, compe-
1ition is impossible, for Southern railroads
that business from them in that way;
they will reduce 10 a parity with their
rivals. The New York Times sees
how futile the proposed reduction of
Eastern railroad charges are to meet the
competition that is too much for the Eastern
mills, and it says: at would be wiser for
them to acknowledge defeat on the coarser
GRADES of goodp, in which the Southern man
lfacturer finds his chief profit, instead Of at
tempting, by scarcely legitimate means, a
hopeless resistance, and 10 turn their aiten-
lion to branches OF manufacture, in which
climate a more skilful class OF operatives
and far reader market give them an I'M
questioned superiority" But what the South
is doing in the coarser it will also do In the
finer manufactures. 1t was much greater
task 10 start the manufactures at all than it
will be to improve it. The energy that,
under heavy difficulties, accomplished this
one task will not tail in the other. As this
fact becomes clear to the East, the manufsc-
turers there will seek to establish their sons
south where money n 70 be made, and
with them will come the improved m achinery
and the skillful labor

IRATE WIFE

CINCINNATI, March 19.-Alfred Cornelius,
a Frenohmsn, and his wife HAYS apar ments
on the second aO9r of No. 1403 Elm street.
He is considerably under forty years Of age,
and che is a little past thirty. He is en-
ployed as a draughtsman at Eckstein &
Hills white lead works. Yesterday morning,
about 10 O'Clock, his wife assaulted him with
a cane on Losgworih street, near Plum, and
before he could get out of the way he had re-
ceiyed several pretty severe blows across the
head ard shoulders. The cause of the little
matinee, az planned to an Enquirer reporter
by Mrs Cornelius, is as follows: For some
time past che suspected her husband of
being usfsithful 10 her. Besides az she
alleges, he has been treating her badly.
Night before last she followed him and saw
him meet woman and 60 up stairs into one
OF the assignatiou houses near the corner of
Plum and Lopgworth streets. she continued
her investigation no further, but returned
home and made up her mind 10 lie in wait
for him when he should come out of the
house in the morning. Accordingly yester.
day morning she was on hand bright and
early and waited until 10 o'clock, when Cor
relius emerged from the house, and then she
gave it to him. Last night Alfred bad not
showed up at the family domicile and his
wife had received no word from aim.
