cluded today the trial of William Emory,

indicted for an outrage upon Mahalia
Pearce, an aged and respectable colored
woman, residing near Clucktown. The tes-
timony in the case showed that Emory met
the woman at q colored church in Cluck-
town In September Last and volunteered to
accompany her home, the ronts TO his own
homs leading by her door, She accepted
distant from any dwelling house he
seized her and threw her to the
ground. She struggled bravely, and finally
released herself from his grasp, but seixing
her again he threw her to the ground, q
second time, and planting his hand on her
throat frightened her into submission. AfteN
wards they proceeded on their way, he re-
peetedly asking If she intended to tell On
him. When crossing branch in secluded
place he placed his hand behind him and
again demanded TO know whether she
kill her, she answered, "No." A few yards
turther on they came to q house
and pretending to have business with the
occupant, she raped at the door and was
admitted. Turning to Emory, who had
stopped outside, she said, "Will, will send
a constable after you tomorrow" At this
he rushed to the door and insisted on being
admitted. This was refused him, and he
finally left. The next day she swore out
a writ for his arrest. At the trial Comp
troller Keating and bis brother, B.
Palmer KeatinR, appeared for the

spectacle gentlemen in the neighborhoOd

HER BRIDAL DRESS HER snRoUD.
Suicide OF a Young Girl in Pittsburg In the
Presence OF Her Father,

PITTsBURe. Nov 13.-ThIs afternoon
Mary Russell, the lS-year-old daughter OF q
well. to-do mechanic living in the Eighteenth
ward, died from the effects of a dose OF
arsenic taken a few hours before. Miss
Russell was beautiful and highly accom-
plished for girl of her station.
Two years ago her mother died, and
since then she has managed the house
hold affairs of her father and three
elder brothers. This prevented her
fIom participating In social pleasures to q
great extent. She often complained of this
to neighbors, and also said she was cruelty
treated sometimes by her father and
brothers.
She received attentions from several young
men, and some time ago 1t was suggested to
her that she would better her condition by
getting married. A proposal came soon
afterward, and 1t was accepted, the wed.
diog being set for some day next week.
Her preparations were all completed
q day or two ago, when, 1t is alleged, her
brothers, who knew all about her engage
ment long before, declared that she should
not marry the man of her choice. She pro-
tested that she would not obey, whereupon
one of the brothers, it Is said, took upon
himself the duty OF informing his prospect
I've hrother-in-law that they had decided not
to allow Mary to be married.
Whether the young man accepted this as
nnal or not, Is not known, but at all events
few days ago Mary commenced to make
threats that she would take her own life un-
less she was allowed to marry. |. Her brothers
continued obdurate, and this morning she
procured half an ounce of arsenic from a
druggist. When her father came homo TO
lunch she showed him the white powder,
and, telling hin 1t was arsenic, mixed it
with water and swallowed the fatal dose.
The father did not believe that the powder
was poisonous until the effects began to ap-
pear, when q physician was eummoned, but
before his arrival the girl was writhipg In
agony on the dnor. At O'Clock this after
noon her sufferings were ended by death.
Her bridal dress will be her shroud.

but to impress upon the public the fact that
Mr. Owens will make his re-entree before
the public as star (of the first magnitude) i,
in the play of "Cooke's Corners" is q eerti-
fed fact, and to acknowledge that In this
particular play Mr.. Owens will eclipse all
his former triumphs, and that the play
chosen 10 such as meets his peculiar and
varied talents to such an extent, the author
can only say, that, having In view Mr..
Owens, he has written the measures with
Kaleidoscope taste and fitted his play with
1 a remarkable amount OF that hnesse which
is accredited with the phrase; "Wrltten to

prises, the thrilling and powerful climaxes

| this play as dramatic construction that is
in closest sympathy with every right instinct
and every Just purpose of humanity. "The
Silver King" conveys to the listener, In
many subtle ways and In q hearty yet
unobtrusive manner, a vivid illustration oi
| the power of determined will to
reform evil habits and crush out evil appe-
tites. The influence of the play is most
benelcially exerted, and it iS pleasant to
see that it is we'll pstronized by the best

THE WOES OF A NEwBURo ELDER.
Charged With MRIioIously Annoying the
Family Ofthe Girl He Loved.


Family of the Girl he Loved.
NEwBURG, Nov. 13.-Yesterday the Grand
Jury indicted James Frazer for criminal
libel and malicious annoyance. He is &C.
cused of writing a letter of the most in
famous character to the wife of prominent
builder, who is well known In society here
Frazier is widower, 40 years old, and an
elder in the Second Reformed Church. For
some time he paid marked attention to the
daughter of the builder above mentioned,
and it was generally believed that the couple
would be married, but suddenly the match
was broken off and younger man than
Frazier began calling upon the lady.
Frazer was so exaspeTated by the change
in bis matrimonial prospects that he sent q
curt note to the lady, asking the return of
the presents he had given her. He specified
three rings which he appeared very anxious
to get back.
When informed that the shining circlets
had been stolen Frazer demanded S21 in
cash. If this amount was not forthcoming
at once he threatened to make disclosures
which would blast the lady's reputation.
This chivalrous announcement was entirely
ignored, and, when the time which he had
fixed for the payment OF the money came
the lady's mother received an anonymous
letter couched in language vulgar beyond
description. Believing Frazer to be the
culprit the father had him arrested on the
3lst ult., and the next day the prisoner was
taken before Recorder Wasing and held.
In the letter already mentioned the writer
threatens to make "hideous disclosures" to
prominent members of the church to which
Frazer and the young lady belong. The
prisoner declares that he is entirely inuo-
cent. He has borne good reputation be-
fore the present difficulty, and much sym.
pathy with him Is felt.
