An Insane's Mans Deed.
NUMBERING HIS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN AND
THEN COMMITTING SUICIDE.


A Joliet, H., special says: Andrew
White, a wealthy and well-known farmer
living near Dwight, small village about
thirty miles from here, has butchered his
wife and two children and then blown out
his own brains. A number OF years ago
White was one of the most prominent
prOperty-holders and real-estate men OF
Chicago, and made for himself an immense
fortune, with which he retired to a stock
farm near Dwight, where he has lived most
of the time since.
His steady attention to business and the
consequent mental strain is said TO have
affected his mind to such an extent that he
had 10 be carefully watched by his family,
and, not resorting 10 medical aid, he grew
worse and worse, until his strange freaks
were so unbeatable that he had to be sent
TO private asylum, where he grew to think
that his Imprisonment was due to the fact
that his wife and children wanted to get
control OF his fortune and spend 1t. This
impression grew upon him 10 such an eX-
tent that he was continually trying to in
vent means OF escape. and swearing VEN
geance on his family II he should get out.
Not until about a week ago did he succeed
In making his escape from his confinement,
and at once he made his way to his former
home on his mission Of vengeance.
On his way he purchased large Smith
* Wesson revolver, and, leaving the train,
made his way i'm the middle OF the night TO
his residence, which he watched until
morning, when he advanced to the front
stoOp and called out to his wife to come
and welcome him. The family, consisting
of the wife and two children, aged ten and
eighteen years, rushed al once towards the
porch, rejoiced 10 hear the familiar voice,
and supposing that the husband and father
had been released from the asylum in the
possession Of his faculties. The in
sane man allowed every member OF the
family to caress him, and moment
after, without the least agitation, drew
from his pocket the revolver, and looking
his wife in the face said: " You want my
my fortune, do you? Take that !"
and he sent bullet crashing through her
brain and she fell dead on the porch.
Not satisfied with this, the demon turned
and buried bullets In the brains OF his boy
and girl, and then, raising the weapon TO
his own head, pulled the trigger once more
and fell dead over the bodies Of bis slain
wife and children. -

American Girls Marry ing Titles.

London correspondence Detroit rost.l
II felt free to mention names | could
tell tales to wiring the heart about Ameri-
can girls who have married English noble
men. In almost every instance it proves
fatal to the brides happiness. 1t isn't
long since Lord Flyfinger married the
hciress OF an American Crgsus. There
was tremendous time about it. She was
enyied by all her manageable cronieS, and
old CrGsus was congratulated on the fine
alliance. He grinned with Sei-cOmpla-
cency and handed over S1,50O,000 10 his
Lordship Flytinger on the spot. Flyfingcl
took the wife and the money and brought
them to England, where he introduced her
to few acquaintance and then left her
TO shift for herself while he travels with
relays of fast horses and mistrcsses, races
and hunts, CANDLES and lives wild life on
the million and half OF money for which
he sold the shelter Of his title 10 a bright,
hopeful, ambitious American girl.
Five or six years ago an American girl
whose name was on all lips married rich
Englishman who had the cntree Of high
society in England. She was ieasted, toast
ed, envied. But she has slept in So
cial cocoon ever since, heartily wishing
herself home. not seeing for months, some
times. the husband, who loves to follow the
hounds.
An American gentleman living here,
whose name would he recognized by the
reader if were ut liberty to mention il,
told me Yesterday: 81 have been approach
ed within II month by an English lord,
who may be a duke some day, but whose
fortune has become greatly impaired by
his dissipation. lie has fixed his eye on
IN American girl whom he has never seen.
She is comparatively uneducated, and not
very bright, and fcarfully plain. Her nose
is snub. Her mouth is large. Her eyes
are small and watery. Her father is an
Irishman. But he is worth at least $40, 000,-
600. This lord wants me to bring about Il
match between himself and this girl. I'd
see him hanged first, for | know what a
sacrifice OF her it would be-"
One other case: There is young lady
now in high society in America. her native
land, whose husband is IN English lord
and whose fatbcr-in-law is duke. She j.
beautiful, accomplished, interesting, and
she might have made a good match in New
York. But she wanted lord, and she
got him. lie inherited gambling from his
mother, the duchess, and he CANDLES away
all he can get. He Is dissolutc and I'M
scrupulous; she is neglected and wretched.
So she pays very long visits TO her rcla-
tiyes in America where she can plunge
into society and forget her pitiful Euro
pean experiment.

HAS BRUTALITY AND BUTCHERY BECOME ONE
OF THE ORDINARY OPERATIONS OF WAR?
On the same day that the English Gov
eminent called the attention OF President
Grevy to the d" unwarrantable interference"
Of French commanders with British sub
jects i'm Madagascar the London papers
brought TO this country more startling ac-
counts Of British barbarities in Sierra Le-
one. The English force, consisting Of
100 officers and men Of the Second West
India regiment and 200 cOnstabulary,
had, 1t appears, attacked the strong
holds OF Chow and some other chiefs
on the Small Boom river. The English
forces were also accompanied by several
native chiefs, with about 500 of their
"war-boys." At a town called Kwatama-
hoo the enemy made stand, and was
driven into st0ckade, but rocket bat
terry being brought into play, in the Sc
cond round il set the town on fire, the
flames spreading rapidly, and soon the
whole mass OF closely. packed houses was
In one continuous blaze. sit is be-
lieved," says the London Standard, "that
most II not all OF the inhabitants must
have persisted in the conflagration.o
The enemy soon retreated into the stock

Tended with desperate courage. But "no
enemy with inferior weapons, and crowded
| into such space as We're Gbew's people,
| could stand against the shells that with
such precision were falling in their midst |;
and at length a footing inside is gained, the
fence is forced Outwards i'm many places.
and the English allies pour in. There is
no occasion now for any more firing; the
enemy are routed, fiylng for their lives.
but the work OF death still goes on. The
fierce kossus, inf)amed with the passions
OF revenge, pursue the enemy from stock
