TRUSTING HUSBANDS
PERIL.
Almost Murdered by the Lover of His
Faithess Wife.

Almost Murdered by the Lover of Hi
Faishless Wife.
Brandonyille, small farming vii
lage in tie Catawissa Valley, wa
thrown into great excitement to-da,
over a desperate attempt to TAX,
the life of William Brobst, highl,
respectable and wealthy young far
mer residing four miles from Bran.
donyille Eighteen months age
Brobst married a beautiful and ac.
compilshed young lady, the daughter
OF one of the wealthiest farmers in
that neighbcrhood. The couple
showed the greatest devotion for
each other. The brides father pre-
sented her with beautiful residence
and farm, where they lived. A
short distance from the Brobst fami
ly lived Daniel Mensinger,a promi-
nent young farmer, with whom Mrs.
Brobst fell in love. Whenever the
opportunity offered the false and
tickle young wife was with Mensin-
ger, and neither of them made any
apparent effort to conceal their affec-
ton for each other. Matters went
on smoothly until last wednesday,
when Brobst became aware Of the
condition of offairs, and forthwith
had Mensinger arrested, but on ac-
count of the high social standing of
the parties the case was settled upon
Mensinger giving bond not to dis
turb the Brobst family thereafter.
A watch. however, was kept on the
truant wife and her lover. They met
clandestiuely, and Mensinger resolv-
ed, if possible, to gut the husband
out of the way, and, with that pur-
pose IN view, called on the forgivine
husband last evening and induced
him to go with him to a neighboring
town. They walked to the nearest
railroad station, boarded a passing
freight train, and seated themselves
on a gondola car. AS the train APP
preached a deep cut Mensinger walk
ed to the other end of the car, picked
up a long iron coupling-pi and dealt
Brobst a terrible blow on the head.
Bro6st fell to the track below, and
as Mensinger supposed, was run over
and killed. Although Brobst receiv-
ed a terrible cash on the head, he
m anaged to catch or the branches
ofan old tree, and firmly held him
self there until the train had passed,
when he fell to the track exhausted.
After lying several hours he was
found by a stranger, picked up and
brought to Ringtown this morning,
where he received medical atten.
dance, and, after recovering sufficient
ly to speak, told the above story.
His friends were Immediately notified,
and the unfortunate man was remoy-
ed to shis home. The matter was
placed in the hands of The authori.
ties, and warrant was issued for
the arrest of Mensinger, who cannot
be found. Mensinger is % years
old and unarmed, and is supposed to
be concealed somew here in the neigh
borhood of his home, where he fed
after makiug the desperate assault.
The people are very indignant, and
no effort will be spared on the part
of Brobst's friends to secure his ap
prehension."

Boston Gazette.

Mary Anderson and the Prince
Boston Gazette
A gentleman who returned from
London last week says Mary Ander,
son had more cordial reception
there than has been given to an
American actress for many years.
He also tells story which, if correct,
cannot fail to increase the respect OF
the American public for Miss Ander
son. II seems that upon her arrival
she was invited to some of the best
houses in London, and stories were
told OF her beauty and wit that made
the Prince of Wales very anxious to
meet her. Miss Anderson was in +.
formed Of this fattering expression
OF his ROYAL Highness, but most un-
accountably, as it, seemed to her Eng
lsh friends. she showed no desire for
the presentation. Finally gentle
man who knew her very well was ask
ed by the Prince to say to Miss An
derson that he would be pleased if
she would indicate time when it
would be agreeable to her to receive
an introduction to his Royal High
ness. She replied that while she
wished to show no disrespect TO the
future ruler of England, she must
decline to receive him. Such a re-
quest for an Introduction bya Prince
OF the blood, she was asked to eY-
plain. "An introduction to the
Prince Of Wales" she pluckily an
swered, can do me no good profes
sionally, and know very well how
he regards actors generally. Per-
sonally, [ have always maintained my
own dignity and self respect, and
do not mean to put myself in any po-
sition voluntarily where may be
compelled to forget them. Therefore
must decline to be presented to
him. I have gone thus far in life
without breath of scandal attaching
to me, and do not mean now to do
anything that might change that
condition. This settled the matter.
The story got out in London and
was widely repeated, and it was no
ticeable after that the Princes OF
Wales invited Miss Anderson to hel
garden party, an honor she has never
before conferred on any actress oI
the English stage. 1t is a pity some
OF the Amerisan girls who are getting
themselves very much talked about
in connection with the Prince ol
Wales couldn't follow Miss Auder.

The Effort Of Lowndes County
Girl to Achieve Notoriety.
VALDOSTA TIMES.


It is not often that our quiet and
progressive city furnishes any,
thing on the sensational line
Our people persue the even tenor
OF their way, and are but seldom
excited over the startling and un-
usual developments in private life,
which are SO common in some por-
tons of the country. We are,
however, in possession Of the facts
concerning very amusing Incl
dent which took place in our town
short time ago, and we are con-
strained to give it to the public
There lives in Valdosta a girl of
about thirteen or fourteen sum
mers. She is Of ordinary size,
with auburn locks and eyes with a
tendency to blue. She is not con-
sidered pretty, but will compare
favorably with the average damsel
of the day. Catherine Hewitt has
led a quiet and uneventful life
She has learned but little of the
ways of the world, and her know
ledge as to what was being acted
in the great theatre of life is but
meagre, and only such as came to
her by chance within the limited
sphere Of her humble home. At
the time referred to Catherine de-
termined all at once that she
would break the dull monotony Of
her heretofore quiet life. She re-
solved to throw off the restraints
which had bound her and 90 out
into the world and meet her fate
as became brave and daring he
roine. She confded her inten-
tons to a friend; her plans were
discussed; the sympathy of her
confident secured; and hasty prep
arations made to carry her plot IN
to execution. To be short, Cath
crime had made up her mind to ap-
pear to the world as a man-she
would don mans attire. Her
hair was closely cut and she soou
incased herself in a gentleman's
suit OF clothes provided for the
purpose. Her friend looked upon
her with admiring eyes and pro-
nounced her a fine specimen Of
youthful manhood. Catherine
babe her friend hasty adieu,
and set out with a beating heart,
upon her life's errand. After she
had got without the town limits,
the though struck her for the first:
what shall [ do and where shall I
go? She went she knew not where,
and at last came to Wallis mill,
about six miles east of Valdosta.
She told her business-she want
ed employment. Though her
physique did not present "a form
and combination where every god
did seem to set his seal to give the
world assurance of man." yet no
one doubted her sex, and she was
given position at the mill. Lit
tie did Mr.. Wall know hat he had
employed girl dressed in a man s
clothesl The young adventures
working for a day or two and the
mill hands none the wiser. In the
mean time, the father Of the girl
/ gave the news that his daughter
had ran away, and a careful search
was instituted to discover her
whereabouts. BY mere accident
he learned that a strange person
answering the description given
of his daughter, was at Walls
mill Mr.. Hewitt hastened to tht
| place mentioned and claimed hi
once lost girl. The reader car
imagine the surprice and wonder
ment Of those who witnessed the
strange proceedings. The would
be boy was taken back home anC
severely lectured on her strang,
and unnatural freak. Thus end
the tale.

Miss Margaret B. COnnell. step daugh-
ter Of George KOehler Of West Eighth
street, has just been graduated from
Wilson college, at Chambersburg, Pa.
A paper at that town says: "The next
essay was by Miss Margaret B. COnnell,
of Canton, o. Her subject was, Beyond
the Alps Lies Italy," The essayist be-
gan by describing the passage of Hanni-
bal, the Carthagenian General, across
the Alps, showing that It was beset with
many perils and difficulties; and If the
valley Of the PO had not been before him
and the capital Of Italy with It's wealth
and treasures beyond, the journey would
never have been accomplished. SO 1t Is
in the journey of life. A man of sin
cere purpose can arise above all difficult
ties, but he must have an ideal; any
thing worth doing requires enduring
patience and faithful work. Let not
man be disheartened because his way
seems difficult. This essay received
well merited applause from the audi
ence and the young lady should be
cOmplimented for the earnestness and
evident mastery Of the subject, shown
in the production.

has Just completed his twentieth year of
dental labor In our city and entered up
on a new term. Perhaps, no man In
business In Canton that length Of time
has lost less time, or with greater spirit
pushed his business. Success has fol-
lowed his dental operations, and fruit
ful practice seldom done by one man has
inspired him to produce some Of the
finest workmanship known to the pro-
fessiOn. Among the latter is recent
invention, for which a patent has been
applied, making the most useful hand
piece for dental engines in the world.
This valuable structure Is so constructed
as to run true at any angle or in any
position without the change Of any other
part Of the machinery or the body. 1t
may be truly said Of DR.. Siddall that he
Is great leader In his cause.

WAYNESBURG, o., June 8, 1888,
Mr.. EDITOR:-It is with pleasure that
we report visit made our town by two
of CantOn's most prominent and snc-
cessful lawyers, the gentlemen Baldwin
and Parker. They are welcomed here
among our business men whenever they
appear. 1t Is said they were in our
midst to day to settle few grocery and
clothing bills.
During the last few weeks q number
of our families have had visitors. As the
warm months draw nearer visitors will
no doubt become more numerous. A
temporary increase in our population is
no bad indication. 1t plainly proves that
the people of WRynesburg have many
friends and good ones, too. Our town
has become quite summer resort. The
reason for 1t Is manifest. People who
come here are always well thought or,
when known, and treated In q way that
Will compare with the magnificent re-
ceDtiOns of kings and queens in ancient
times. Therefore friends are never
lOath to repeat summer jaunt to our
romantic little village.
Decoration day passed off very pleas
antly, despite the rain. The preliminary
exercises were held in one OF the
churches and consisted of an able ad-
dress by eOmrade Jones and interesting
"reminiscences of the war, interspersed
with music rendered by the choir and
band.
We will make use of the present op-
pOrtunity to correct slight misstate
ment published in the columns of
neighbOring paper, and hailing from
the innocent pen of resident CORES
pOndent. Instead of writing "cheese
knife" "Karl" Esq, intended to say
silver plated butter knife, pawned away
but again redeemed. One can easily
overlook such a slight (O variation, see

Mrs. Grundy is suddenly silent, but
why we do not know. 1t seems that
even she sometimes grows tired Of Civ
ing others the benefit of her ObserVa-
tiOns, or may be her eyes are not keen
enough to detect the still continued
manifestation of deep seated mutual in

covert in obedience to the sage advice.
