A TERRIBLE DEED.
The Unproyoked and Fatal Shooting of
Police Seargent Peletiah Nj. jerks of St.
Louis by Bad Negress.


ST. Louis, Mo-, Oct. s.
A terrible tragedy occurred this after
noon in which Seargent P. M. jerks, one of
the oldest and best officers on the st. Louis
police force was shot and mortally wound
ed by disreputable negress named Sadie
Hill. The Seargent was making the rounds
of his precinct when his attention was di-
rected to the woman Hill who, surrounded
by crowd of onlool1ers was indulging in
violent language toward someone not then
in sight, and on going up to her and seizing
her by the left arm she Immediately turned
and before a word had been spoken sent
bullet crashing through his brain, inficting
a wound from which the unfortunate man
died at :15 D. M. After shooting jerks,
and while he lay unconscious supported by
young colored woman who had caught him
as he fell the virago, not content with
her bloody work, struck the pros
trate man a savage blow in the face with
the butt OF her pistol. Subsequently the
murderess was arrested, but not before she
had drawn her pistol and threatened to use
it on officer Condor, who went in search of
her, but that officer got the drop on her and
compelled her to surrender.
The murdered officer was appointed
patrolman April 10, 1868. In little over a
years service his jealous and efficient ser
vices caused him to be appointed Ser
geant, his commission dating November 2S,
1869. He wore shield No. 3, attesting his
long and faithful connection with the de-
partment. He was just in the prime Of
life, forty-two years Of age. He was a
model of physical development, courageous
as lion in the discharge Of his duty, and
as tender-hearted and conscientious as a
lady, of fine affections and strict religious
scruples. To all he was attentive and ac-
commodating. On several occasions he
was mentioned as a probable Captain, and
his untimely death is about the only cause
that could prevent his ultimate accession
to that dignity. He was member Of Polar
Star Lodge, Masonic; George Washington
Council of the United States Benevolent
Fraternity and Columbia Association of the
National American Association. His NOR.
tuary benefits amount to $1,000.

QUINCY, ILL.,, Oct. 8.
One of the most sickening tragedies even
enacted here took place just before noon to-
day on Twelfth street, north of Vermont.
For several years a full-blooded Indian,
who called himself DR.. 10. Rodgers, and
professed to cure diseases by Indian meth
DDS, has been living in this city with a
white woman as his wife. They came here
from Galesburg, and the Doctor rented
rooms and lived mostly among the colored
people, ekeing out a precarious existence
by his incantations and sale Of roots. His
wife is said to have been from Iowa, and is
respectfully connected, having on several
occasions lately stated that she intended to
visit her parents soon. The Indian seemed
very Jealous of her, and numerous quarrels
resulted. Altogether the woman had a
hard time of it, and some months ago tried
to drown herself in the Mississippi, but was
rescued by the engineer of the W works
Company. To-day DR.. 10 settled every
thing by going behind his wife at the time
mentioned while she was before the kettle
and putting bullet through her head, and
then with the same revolver putting one
through his own head. Death was instan-

A BIG BLAZE.
Greenlaw Opera-HOuse Block and Other
Buildings in Memphis Burned, Involving
a Loss of About $3.50. 600.

MEMPHIS Tenn, Oct s.
Memphis was visited tonight by another
destructive fire, which originated in Cole
q Co.'s oil, paint, door, sash and window
blind store, Nos. 81 and 80 Union street,
between Main and Second. The inflamma-
bic material kept in stock burned with such
fierceness that the firemen were unable to
confine the fire to the building where it
originated, and Greenlaw's Opera-house, to
the east, and only separated from the
burning building by a small alleyway, was
lGnited, and together with Cole g. Compa-
ny's store was completely destroyed. At
one time all the stores on Union street west
OF the fire were threatened with destruc-
tion, together with the block fronting on
Main street south of Union, but the fire wall
to the west of Cole & Company's store,
which extended about ten feet above
the next building, saved the others. As
it was, the fire consumed an area of about
fifty feet fronting on Union street and 130
feet fronting on Second. 1t is impossible
to ascertain the exact amount of the losses
or insurance tonight, but the following is a
fair estimate: Cole & Co.'s loss on stock,
$4,000; insured for about $4,000, equally
divided between home and foreign COM
panies Building No. SO Union street,
owned jointly by the Peoples Insurance
Company and the estate of j. o. Greenlaw,
valued at 81, 600; insured for $4,000. Build
ing No. 39, owned by Mrs. S. E. Greenlaw,
same value; amount Of insurance unknown;
Greenlaw Opera-house was owned by G..
B. Peters and the Peoples Insurance Com
pany. George B. Peters also owned the
two stores in the north portion of the
massive structure. The two south stores
were owned by Campbell Wallace, Of At
lanta, Ga. Loss to the Opera-house building
about SIG, 900: insurance not known, but
is light The Mozart Society occupied the
second and third stories of the north
ern portion of the building, and lost
two fine pianos and other articles of value,
but are fully insured. Cole & Co. used one
of their stores for lumber room, where
they stored large lot of blinds and sashes,
which were destroyed. Jack Walsh, un-
all his stock was removed. The two stores

citement, and drew nearly the entire popu-

The firemen worked heroically, and had

around an up grade corner, in Boston.
The horses are SO placed in line as to
be taken each in its due turn. Just
now the writer observed that the in
stant the driver detailed for tho pur-
pose was out of sight around the cor
ner, q horse whose turn would come
next deliberately walked down the line
and placed himself as the last in the
line; the last, thus, to be used AS he
watched closely, he noticed that it was
but one horse that did this, did it SO
invariably, and net until the driver
was out OF sight around the corner, as
to make it impossible but that it was
done to escape work. Could horse
be that intelligent anywhere outside of
New England? As to the morality of
the act, alas, alas

Slaves of Fashion.


The actual drudgery of fashionable
life falls upon women. To toll for a
place in society, TO give precious after
moons to the labor of paying calls, and
to allow Indifferent acquaintances, as
Emerson said, to devaState the day, to
give constant thought to the revision
of ones toilette and the improy,m mt
of ones visiting list, this is to be a
slave to things. And if the slave do
not feel her fetterS, SO much the worse
for her. Many women have not time
for the unhurried delight Of their
children's presence, for reading any
thing beyond the last new novel, for
arg occupation higher than the mar
rowing round they call their domestic
and social duties
