The Crazy Freak Of q Cook.

r DE1 HUDSON. MASS, July 6.
When her brother Patrick was found
guilty Of drunkenness and fined in court
to-day, the wrath of Mary Driscoli, the fat
cook at the Mansion House, knew no
hounds. She hurled invectives and yitu-
peration at the Judge until, out of patience,
he ordered her arrest. Mary is fifty
wears old, and would tip the scales
at 200 pounds. When the officers
started to arrest her she few out OF
the room down the stairs and up to the
Mansion House at rate OF speed which
would have caused Paul Revere to turn
pale with envy. Rushing to her room she
disrobed with the exception OF her short
clothes, and then suspended herself from
the third story window, remaining in that
position until three men reached the win
dow and pulled her in by main force. with
out any aid from the mammoth female
gymnast She was persuaded to accom-

BarbarOus Treatment Of a Boy.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 9.
An unparalleled case Of inhuman treat
ment was developed before Squire J. NJ.
Coleman. The monster in human form Is
one Wright NJ. Albritton, employed as
machinist on the Memphis a. Charleston
Railroad. The victim Of his cruelty is his
stepson, youth of ten years, named Jose
Maynard. Itwas proven by witnesses before
the examing magistrate that about Christ
mas time he numerically whipped the boy
with rawhide until he was bleeding
mass, and then held him before the fire and
literally toasted him. The boys body is
covered with dark-red scars, showing the
fiendish treatment he had been subjected
to. The wife of Albritton, and mother or
the boy, during the barbarous crime men
toned above was in the room, but hid her
head in the pillow of the bed to shut out the
agonizing cries of her child. The case is in
the hands of The Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children and Animals, and
is being vigorously prosecuted.

to n Eree---Howard's Crime. rrf
I .--.s--aas-- CAIRO, ILL.,, July 6.
Mound City was the scene Of much ex.
element this morning over the lynching of
/ Nelson Howard, coiored, for the murder
of John Kane on the 4th inst. About two
O'Clock a squad of twenty-five or thirty
masked men came up from the direction of
Cairo on three hand-cars, and unloaded at
a point just below Mound City. They broke
open the Toulouse Of the Wabash Road
and took large spike hammer therefrom.
They then proceeded to the Jail. Arriving
there, they awoke the jai!er and demanded
the keys of the cells. Being informed the
Sheriff had the keys, they ordered the
jailer to stand aside, and told him they
wanted no trifng; they came there to
lynch the negro. While some took care Of
the jailer, others broke down the jail door
with the spike hammer. After gain
ing admission, they found their vic
tim in an iron cell. the lock OF
which they broke off. The negro
evidently understood the meaning of the
noise outside the Jail, for he Immediately
set up piteous howl. He fought desper-
ately when they attempted to remove him,
and was shot several times by the lynchers.
de was dragged about fifty yards from the
Jail and swung to a limb of a tree by
fore he was lynched. A negro who was on
the lookout for trouble rang the schoolhouse
bell for few minutes, but failed TO call out
many people, for they had some spprehen-
sion of the trouble and did not care to take
part in it. The lynchers departed as si-
lently as they came and left no tclew as to
who they might be. Tho negro was
cut down by the Sheriff, who arrived short
ly after the lynching.
HOwARD'S CRIME
Howard killed John Kane, white man,
and, of course, general belief is that the
lynching party was composed of Kane's
friends. Kane was a bridge builder and
had been building an incline at Cairo
| Howard was railroad section hand, whose
| home was at Grand Chain. II the men
| bad any previous acquaintance nobody
seems to be aware of the fact. They both
celebrated the Fourth in Cairo, and in the
evening Of that day both got on the train
| that left here at seven O'Clock ON the
Wabash road for Mound City. They got
into an argument on the cars, and it grew
into drunken quarrel. There was a
number of people in the car and con-
siderable talking and confusion, and it
seems nobody noticed these two were quar-
reling until Kane whipped out pistol. IL
appears, however, he was too drunk to use
it. The negro sprang on him and wrenched
the weapon from his grasp, fred two shots
in quick succession, then sprang from the
train and escaped. The first bullet struck
Kane in the forehead, making flesh
wound; the second entered his chest, pro-
ducing death in about an hour. After he
was shot it was discovered Kane had been
cut, the negro having evidently used the
knife before Kane drew his pistol. This
happened just as the train was entering
the depot at Mound City. Howard was
captured next morning and jailed at Mound
City until taken out this morning.
