CAME TO HER DEATH.

a
CAME TO HER DEATH.
James Treglown, on trial Mt Morristown,
n. Y, for the murder OF Minnie Clugwin,
testified in his own behalf on Wednesday.
He said he was twenty-four years OF age,
and was engaged to be married to Minnie,
to whom he used to give his monthly pay
after settling with her father for his board.
She had made out list OF the ar
ticles needed 10 go to housekeeping.
On the evening Of the murder the
witness said he started out for walk.
II happened that he went down the towpath
Of the canal. Suddenly, to his surprise, he
came upon Harry James and Minnie, and
was made certain from what he saw that
she was untrue TO him, and was not iii to
be his wife. lie walked on along the canal
TO the Plane House, then turned back, and
again found them near the place where he
first saw them. He was then eXasperated
beyond control. Harry James used insult
ing words TO him. He replied in the same
manner, adding that he would shoot HIM.
lie then drew his revolver, pointed il at
Harry James, and fired. But il
only snapped. James ran away as
fast a. possible. The witness then
cooked the revolver again, and pointed
IL at his fleeing rival, when Minnie Jumped
toward him and threw her arms around his
neck, causing her to receive the shot in her
face. Immediately afterward, he said, they
pitched forward into the canal together,
going in head first, with the girPs arms still
clasped around his neck. He freed himself
as soon as possible, got on his feet, and
than fired the revolver at his own head, ill.,
flicting the slight wound which had been
found on him.
In his cross-examination. he admitted
that he unclasped the girls hands from
about hIs neck while In the water, but
seemed unable to tell anything else that
happened in the canal. He could not re-
member how she looked when he last saw
her, or whether any part OF her body was
out OF the water. The girl screamed, but
she never spoke word to him after she
had been shot. lie admitted losing bis
shoes in the canal, and said he begged

Procrastination is the Thief Of Time.
To the Editor of the Dispatch.

TO the Editor OF the DtSpdtch:
When the committee having charge OF
the late Trades Parade held their final
meeting proposition, which had been IA
vorably entertained, to organize a perma-
nent society for the purpose OF arranging
for similar annual demonstration was
passed by, owing to statement made that
the "Mcrchants' and Manufacturers Asso-
citation " had determined to take the mat
ter i'm hand, and would proceed vigorously
to accomplish the end the above PROPOSE
tion aimed TO accomplish. So far nothing
has been done, although two months have
elapsed.
In New Orleans and other cities am in
formed that as soon as one demonstration
il over, whilst the results are fresh in the
minds OF the public, arrangements are per-
fected for the succeeding one, and as they
have always proved successful we should
take the lesson TO heart. Our parades have
been hastily gotten up and crude affairs.
More attention has been given to quantity
than to quality, and whilst we congratu-
lated ourselves on the success attained. all
admitted great improvements could be
made and glaring defects etfaced by care
fully-arrmged plans perfected by time
and study. Why, then, delay laying
the foundationsI Time passes swift
ly by, and almost before we are
aware of it we will be confronted
by the same difficulties a. before-viz.,
want OF time and accurate knowledge OF
the amount Of means at the disposal OF th5
committee for the object.
The people will not be satisfied with the
same programme rs IN former years. They
are creatures OF change, and unless the
plan for 1883 announces an "entire change
ot programme, embracing new and novel
features" (as the theatre bills often say
we may perhaps fail TO draw the great pub
lie, and your columns instead OF chron-
icing q grand success bemoan the failure
OF the country people to take an interest in
the attractions OF the State metropolis, and
hence the necessity OF going to work
promptly and energetically.
In conclusion, ! suggest that the presi-
dents Of the Board OF Public Interests, the
Chamber Of Commerce, and the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association call mass
meeting OF mercants and others Interested,
and thus take the initial step. i.

Mr.. WARDE AS VIRGINIUs; OR, The ROMAN

an actor OF ability and rapidly going to the
front rank in the profession, appeared at
the Theatre last night in the title-r0le OF

numerous other parts were fairly filed,
and the play altogether was rendered ac-
ceptably, but it has never been popular

At the matinee this afternoon the Lady
Of Lyons will be played, and the old yet
ever new story OF love will no doubt be
told with wondrous sweetness to the young
people OF the audience. Tonight Richard

was commenced by Mr.. A. ii. Sands on be-
half OF the will and for the Virginia rela-
tives. Mr.. John Lyon followed in adyo-
cacy OF his claim that the will should be set
aside on the ground that by reason OF age
and injuries received in fall from vehi-
Gle Mrs. Allan did not enjoy her natural
strength OF mind when she signed 1t,
and for the further reason that the instrtl-
ment was drawn by Mr.. George w. Mayo,

indebtedness to her for exceedingly yalua-
BILE aid in preparing the case for trial.
Once yesterday. when Mr.. Lyon said that
he was entirely alone in the case, MIR.
Sands said that, on the contrary, Mr.. Lyon
had very skilful counsel at his Side-mean-
ing Mrs. Allan.
There are two other grandchildren OF the
testatrix. but theyw satisfied with the diS-
tribution of the property as made in her
will, and would not Join in the effort to
have il set aside.

CANDLEMAs-DAY.-Yestcrday was Can.
dlemas-day. From very early, indeed
unknown, date in the Christian history, the
I'd OF February has been held as the Festi-
val Of the Purifcation OF the Virgin, and
it is still holiday of the Church OF Eng.
land. The popular name Candlemas is de-
rived from the ceremony which the Catho-
lie Church observes on this day OF the
blessing OF candles by the clergy and .
distribution OF them amongst the people.
There are still number OF curious GUS
toms of old standing in Scotland and Eng
land in connection with Candlemas-day,
and there il universal superstition
throughout Christendom that good weather
on this day indicates a long continuance OF
winter and a bad crop. and that its being
foul j., on the contrary, good 'omer.
This idea is sustained by the popular Scot
tish rhyme:
"If Candlcmas-day be dry and fair,
The half a. winters TO come and mair.
