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

P0ttsDilLe (Pa.) SDeciGttO Mem York Times, gSth
aH.
Brandonville, a small farming village
i'm the Catawissa Valley, was thrown into
great excitement to-day over desperate
ATTEMPT to take the life Of William BrObst.
a highly respectable and wealthy young
farmer residing four miles from Brandon
Vile. Eighteen months ago Brobst mar
ried beautiful and accomplished young
lady. the daughter of one of the wealth.
est farmers in that neighberhOOd. The
couple showed the greatest devotion
for each other. The brides father pre-
sented her with a beautiful residence
and a farm. where they lived. A short
distance from the BrObst family lived
Daniel Mensinger, a prominent young
farmer. with whom Mrs. BrObst fell in
love. Whenever the opportunity offered
the false and tickle young wife was with
Mensinger, and neither of them made any
apparent effort to conceal their affection
for each other. Matters went on smoothly
until last Wednesday, when Brobst
became aware of the condition of affairs,
and forthwith had Mensinger arrested,
but on account of the high social standing
of the parties the case was settled upon
Mensinger giving bonds not to disturb
the BrObst family thereafter. 4 watch,
however, was kept on the truant wife and
her new lover. They met clandestinely,
and Mensinger resolved, if possible, to
put the husband out Of the way, and, with
that purpose in view, called on the for
giving husband last evening and induced
him to 90 with him to a neighbOring town.
They walked to the nearest railroad sta
ton. boarded passing freight train, and
seated themselves on a gOndola car. As
the train approached "A deep cut Mensinger
walked to the other end of the car, picked
up a long iron cOupling-pin, and dealt
BrObst a terrible blow on the head.
BrObst fell to the track below, and as
Mensinger supposed, was run over and
killed. Although BrObst received a terri
bic cash on the head, he managed to catch
onto the branches of an old tree, and
firmly held himself there until the train
had passed. when he fell 10 the track eX-
hausted. After living several hours he
was found by , stranger, picked up and
brought to RingtOWn this morning,
where he received medical attendance,
and, after recovering sufficiently to speak,
told the above story. His friends were
Immediately notified, and the unfortunate
ter was placed in the hands Of the author
tiles, and a warrant was issued for the
arrest of Mensinger, VINO cannot be found.
Mensinger is . years old and unmarried,
and is supposed to be concealed some
where in the neighbOrhQOd of his. home,
where he fed after making the desperate
assault. The people are very indignant,
and no effort will be spared on the part OF
BrObst's friends to secure his apprehen-
sion"

Di-cDs cries are frequently made in
queer and unexpected ways. \ late
special 10 the New York World from
Eric, Pennsylvania, says that three wears
ago an Associated Press dispatch from
Louisville. Ky, stated that an agent OF
the British Government was negotiating
with a lawyer Of that city for the delivery
Of a book, for every copy Of which fl,o0O
reward was offered 10y the Crown. The
book was the memoirs Of George w."
containing startling relations OF the life
Of that licentious monarch, and contain
ing alleged proofs that an obscure person
ought TO he wearingthe crown of England.
The memoirs were printed in 1882, and a
war Of determination was waged against
it by the royal family. The Louisville
lawyers copy was presumed to be the last
eXtant, but a lew days ago George Watts,
a naturalized citizen living near Erie,
while searching for legal advertisements
in an old newspaper, came across the As
sociated Press dispatch. He remembered
tnat he had purchased the memoirs in
1881 and brought them to this country.
He ransacked an old chest and found the
book. Mr.. Gladstone, il is said, has been
notified Of the find.

The Emancipation Proclamation

Since the great proclamation, slavery
is not supposed to exist in the United
States. Yet it does exist everywhere. We
are all slaves, more or less, to our passions,
habits and notions. Worst of all, we are
slaves to disease, and a tyrannical mas
ter il is. You want TO be free. You
ought to be free, if you are going to get
any enjoyment OutOf the summer months.
You can be free from summer complaints
if YOU issue an emancipation prOclama-
ton in the name and by the authority of
Perry Davis Pain Killer. These diseases

The Spaniards are highly excited over
the reports of the treatmhnt which King
Alfonso received from the populace of
Paris, and they talk as if they would like
10 20 right away to Paris and give the
ill-behayed Frenchmen a good thrashing.
In a day or two, however, when they
get better control Of their
feelings. their warlike ardor
will not be 40 marked.
They will see that their King was cour-
teOusly received, and kindly and politely
entertained by the representatives Of
France. They will see, also, that the ac-
ton Of the Paris populace was very nat
ural, thinking, as they did, that King
Alfonso sympathized with the Germans
because he had accepted from the En-
peror Of Germany the ColOnelcy of "A Ger
man regiment. King Alfonso did not
leave Paris with any feeling Of bitterness.
lie bore himself well and bravely while
there. and his conduct, it seems, has in
creased his popularity at home. The
trouble between France and Spain, if any
is found to exist, will, in all probability,
be- settled without delay or difficulty.

The Fine Residence of Florida Ex-
Governor.


! Ex-GOv. David :. Walker, according to
/ the F10rjdidn and Economist, Is building
\ on one Of the most central, commanding
! and convenient lots in Tallahassee, a two
! story brick building which, when finish
| ed. will be cone Of the handsOmest build
/ ings in the CITY" and the Ex-Governor
/ offers the entire upper story Of said build
ing free Of rent to the people of Tallahas-
see for a public library and reading
rooms.
.'This," saws the Pensacola Commercial,
is in keeping with Judge Walkers history
4 and character. Had he been more selfish
and greedy, and less honest and upright,
( il might have Jared differently with him
politically i'm an evil and perverse genera
/ ton. OF such is the kingdom Of heaven,
but they don't get elected to any office in
! Florida"
We cannot agree with our esteemed
brother of the Pensacola Commercial in
his last remark. We think the people OF
Florida delight to honor ''the honest and
upright" the patriotic and public-spirited.
Certainly this would appear to be so from
the career of Governor Walker himself,
for he has at different times been elected
to many offices. We remember that
/ when we were boy and lived in the
same town with him, he was elected Al
/ derman and then Mayor Of Tai
lahassee, and Representative from
Leon county in the Legislature
and afterward Senator. And since we
! left Tallahassee we know that he has
/ been elected Register Of Public Lands and
/ Superintendent of Schools, Judge of the
! Supreme Court of Florida, and finally, by
the unanimous voice Of every voter in the
4 State he was elected Governor of Florida.
He is now, by appointment Of Governor
Drew, Circuit Judge. Surely the Pen
saeola Commercial ought not to say that
/ such men don't often get elected to any
office in Florida"
But Governor Walker will never be Il
| candidate for any Office again. When he
was in our city some months ago we asked
/ him if he would not again consent to be a
4 candidate for Governor. We well remem-
/ Der his answer, 1t was this: "No, my
friend, will MAYER again be a candidate
/ for any office oIi earth. / am a candidate
only for a seat in the Kingdom of Heaven,
| and | am not electiOneering for that half
so hard as | ought to do when pointing
/ to his grey hairs) these prOclamations re-
mind me that the day Of election is so
near at hand"

Ex-Postmaster General James is OF the
opinion that he knows what ought 10 be
the policy Of the Post Office Department
better than any man in the country. He
is just now giving all the time he can
spare 10 advocating daily mail service
between this country and Europe, and
also lower registry and none, order rates.
He wants ocean letter postage reduced 10
two cents. 1t doesn't cost any more, he
says, to carry letter from Ncw York to
London or Paris than il does from New
York TO san Francisco, or even to Chi
cagO and New Orleans. The intimate
business relations between this country
and Europe demand cheaper postage and
more frequent mails. AS reduction of
postage seems to be the order of the day.
il is not improbable that Mr.. James will
see his ideas adopted before long.
