ST. LOUIS, Fob. 9th,

ST. LOUIS, Feb 9Th, 1883.
En-. FREE Press "A terrible and tragic
oGair occurred at "Four Courts" building,
ON last Friday. John @. Parker's trial for
the murder OF one Peyton was about to pro-
coed and the Sheriff was engaged in calling
the witnesses. Parker desired an interview
with his wife and counsel, and for that pur-
pose stepped into small jury room adjoin-
ing thecourt. The report of pistol star
tied the crowd present and amidst the Wild
est confusion it was discovered that Parker
had shot and instantly killed his wife. A
desperate effort was made to disarm the MUIR
derer, who quickly placed the smoking wea-
pom to his own head and fred, falling in the
throes of death upon the lifeless form OF his
wife. The scene was awful and was wit
messed by your correspondent with the most
sickening and indescribable feeling. The
infant child of this Inflated couple, was
snatched from the dying grasp of the moth
er, and It's playful attempts to seize the hats
and handkerchiefs of those present caused
tears to flow from many eyes. 1t WAS car
ried away by kind hands. A life insurance
by the poor mother will be promptly paid
for its benefit. The double murder was
coolly planed by the couple the faithful wife
furnishing the weapon at the command OF
her brutal husband. Letters left by Parker,
prove this. The murderer was once pros
porous and respected, but liquor and bad
associations brought him and his innocent
wife to this fearful end.
Samuel Erskine, the lately elected crimi-
nal prosecutor of our criminal courts, died
suddenly this week. A strange fatality seems
to follow our State and city attorneys.
Louis Beach, shortly after his election to the
above position, died principally from in
iuries received ut the hands of an acquain-
lance. Nicholas Mortell, whose death is yet
recent, died young, from reckless habits.
He possessed talents, and was prosecutor
for several years Col. Joe p. Colcord,
whose terrible suicide created intense excite
in the city, occupied the Inflated post of
prosecuting attorney for five years; one day
ina fit of jealousy and drink, he shot his
wife and then himself. The deaths of Chas.
G.. Morrow, and Seymour Voulaire are still
fresh in the memory of many. They once
occupied the position of prosecuting attor-
ney for st. Louis, and their exit from the
world was sudden, strange and unhappy.
l could say more, but forbear. The sleet
storm which has just swept over us, is the
severest experienced for many years. 1t is
to describe the suffering and de-
struction which this protracted storm has
cccasioned. The wires are nearly oil down.
The roads are simply impossible and the
streets of the city in fearful condition.
Reliable reports from the north and west
show that the destruction of human life and
that of stock is unparalleled in the history of
the country. CARL SMYTHE.

Conditional Charity.


A few years after the clese Of the war an
emisary Of Freedman's church came
North on a begging expedition. He talked
about, lectured and begged until he came
to a certain church with but one want un-
satisfied. His chapel lacked baptismal
font, and for this he argued, preached and
prayed, vehemently and long, until at last
somewhere down in the. audience q small,
squeaky, ialsetto voice inquired:
GLOW much will It COST"
"Why, a very beautiful one could be got
for $3.50"
am give it."
"Wh0t," said the surprised missionary,
who evidently was unused 10 such cheerful
giyers, ''the whole amount?"
Eyes, the whole amount, two hundred
and fifty dollars"
"Let us return thanks"
Thanks were returned, and the meeting,
which had been held for this purpose alone,
was about to be dismissed when the same
squeaky voice piped out:
There's one condition attached to that
gift-one condition.
"0h, certainly, siIi, anything you please!'
"You agree TO it,"
"0h, certainlee; as you say, my dear Sir.
What Is 1t you wish 2"

To ne Editor Of he IaeiligneI.
sIE-I have been reading great deal
about the so-called Red Men, and the re-
cent trials OF Hoffman, Ki,tle and Price at
Clarksburg, and have also read the opln-
ions Of various newspapers in the State in
relation to the order. Il may be interest
ing 10 the public to know where aud how
tho order had Its beginning. The Red Men
of Barbour county first organized in the
Odd Fellows hall at Beiington. Nearly
every member of the band was an Odd
Fellow in good standing, and for this reas-
on think the name Of the order should be
Red Odd Fellows instead Of Red Men.
Among the membership Of the order are
some Of the best citizens OF this country,
and in theIdrst years Of its existence Il claim,
ed to have done some good in diRcipliniDg
some Of the worthless characters Of the
neighborhood. But the band soon degen.
Grated and was used as means OF infiict-
ing the vengeance OF the individual mem.
bers on innocent persons, Butthe band is
thing OF the past, and l hope this county
will coon be the best in the State.
