WAS SHE PuIsOMEDa
A Judicial Investigation to Rnsue
Relative to the Death Of Mrs.
VIM. Richardson.
Domestic Troubles and . Feud
Between Relatives By Law.

Deputy Sheriff Hancock last Saturday
evening arrested William Richardson, an
engineer Of tug plying in this port, on
q charge Of poisoning his wife, the war
rant being issued at the instance Of Mrs.
Frank, half sister Of the woman alleged
TO have been poisoned. According 10
statements made, Richardson and his wife
did not live happily and separated in the
neighbOrhOod Of year ago, at which
time Richardson removed all the firni-
ture from the house where himself and
wife had resided. Subsequently the house
was reflrnished by Capt. Caldwell, of
the yellow fever boat "Danna, and the
same was presented TO Mrs. Richardson.
Some four weeks ago Richardson returned
10 his wife and lived with her until about
a week prior TO her death, which occurred
two weeks ago last Thursday. The death
was so sudden that an inquest was held
under the direction Of Squire Fleming,
and the jury returned a verdict OF death
from heart disease. After Mrs Richard
sons demise Mrs. Frank removed the fur
niture in the house, and later on Richard,
son replevied the same through
Squire Fleming, The next move
was on the part Of Mrs Frank and Mrs
Rosa Dryer, who swore out warrants for
Richardson and Belle Ivy, charging them
with poisoning Mrs. Richardson. The
girl in the case, Belle Ivy, was arrested
this morning. She attended Mrs r dur
ing portion OF her illness. Mrs. Rich.
ardson is described as having been at one
time very pretty and attractive, and at
the time Of her death was about q or y
years Of age, From the present outlook,
the complexion Of affairs seems to par.
take Of the hue Of spite rather than any
real criminality. Be this as il may, Rs
quire Fleming win investigate the case
this afternoon, and if circumstances will
warrant, he will have the body of deceased
exhumed.

DRINK AND MURDER.

DUBUQUE, To-, Oct. Ii.
A fatal affray occurred in this city last
evening, a young man named Johnny
Apern entered Luther's saloon, on Seventh
Street, about eight o'clock, being at the
time under the influence of liquor. Step.
ping to the bar he called for a drink, and
after obtaining it got into quarrel with
the bar-keeper, small man, named Geo.
Ruchte. Offensive words passed between
them, when Apern picked up an empty beer
glass and hurled it at Ruchte, striking the
latter OF the temple. Ruchte sank to the
floor and Apern ran from the house. The
wounded man was picked up and carried
to his room, and after having his head
dressed, in which was a deep cash just
above the ear, the doctor left him feeling
quite comfortable, and he so continued up
to midnight, when he sank into stupor
and died in half an hour The young mur-
derer was promptly arrested. He is only
twenty-one or twenty-five years old, and
worth considerable property, to which he
has lately fallen heir. When sober he is
quiet and inoffensive. The dead man was
about the same age, and leaves a widowed
mother and sister dependent on him. Sew

people out of their rooms for quite dis

enter the room. The white cloud rolled
into the street and nearly prostrated the

The stables were directly adjoining the
building containing the condenser, and all
the fine horses in the stalls-twenty-thre

could be reached and liberated, it being

at seven O'Clock tomorrow morning, when
800 miners in the employ of the Rochester
& Pittsburgh Road will attempt to resume
work. The strikers, who are heavily armed,
are encamped near the mines. The railroad
authorities anticipate a bloody time, and
will use every precaution to protect their
men. Said an official "The mines will be
opened at all hazards tomorrow, and we
expect the strikers will resort to violence,
but we are prepared for them in every way.
Our mines are guarded by 100 of Pinker-
toms detectives, all armed with Winchester
repeating rifles and 3S-caliber revolvers.
If the rioters attempt to interfere or use
force to prevent our men from working
there will certainly be bloodshed. The de-
tectives are accustomed to deal with roughs
and, as majority are good shots, they can
create terrible havoc with the strikers.
force of fifty Of Pinkerton's police passed
through Pittsburgh last night, and twelve
more in command of Foley arrived from
twelve repeating rifles, twelve revolvers
and 300 rounds of ammunition. The car
contained twenty mattresses for the use of
the men. The entire force viii be there at
one o'clock Monday morning, and will re-

force of the strikers.
