TORTURED BY HIS CRIME.
Martin Battles Kills His Rival and
Suffers A"Onies from Sen,orse

Suffers AgOnies from Eset,0rse.
CHARLOTTE, N. Y, Dec. 60 MARTIN G.
Battles who has for years lived life of tor
ture in the insane asylum, is dead. He was
about ~ years of age, and twenty years ago
livel Oh his fathers farm in this town. A
Young Irishman named Cornelius Lynch
worked on the farm, and there was in the
family girl named Sarah Lyon. Both men
fell in love with her, and after q quarre.
Battles lay IN wait for his rival and shot
and killed him. He was convicted of
the crime, and sentenced to one years
Imprisonment in Auburn prison and then to
death. His case was carried to the court of
appeals, was decided in his favor, and he was
set at liberty. He enlisted in the army,
and at the e. of the war returned to his
home His condition was pitiabie, for he
was constantly haunted by his crime. and
talked of nothing else He said that he had
enlisted with the hope that he might be
killed, as he had not the courage to kill him
self He regretted that the court had inter-
fared with the execution of his sentence,
and tried to have the case reopened that
he micht be placed on trial again and
ressntenced He brooied over the memury
of his crime until he became a maniac, and
was placed in the asylum. He imagined
that his victim was constantly in his cell
mocking and torturing him in many ways,
and that he could never die hut was sentenced
to be eternally punished by this presence of
the murdered man. His hair turned white
before he was IS, and when he died he had
the appearance of man of 70 years

The Cincinnati S:,oemaker..

CINCINNATI, Dec. 20-The arbitration
committee of the boot and shoe trade met of
the rooms of the boari of trade for the pur-
pose of reorganizing and the election
of officers for the ensuing year. Two
weeks ago, after long siege, the
then arbitrators agreed upon a
schedule of wages for the ensuing year which,
with few unimportant changes, assimilates
to the current scale. This settlement was ac-
cepted by the representatives of the working
men and by majority of the manufacturers.
Six of the largest firms, however, refused to
accept the scale, asked for reduction, re-
signed from the board, and were given until
the Goth of December to "come in" Since
then one of the majority, Mr.. P. Sullivan,
has made an assignment. The presumption
is that these firms will, after all, adopt the
views of the majority. Should they not, ii
is very evident that "lock-out" or a strike,
as far as they are Individually concerned
will be the order of the day after January l,

HE HAD A GRUDGE,
And It Caused Him to Commit /.
Terrible Crime.
The chastity Sight the Boaracrs
at a Joliet, ILL.,, Hotel Wero
Treated tO---The Per-
petratOr Arrested.

JOLIET, Ill, Dec 90 About o'clock a.
m. the cries of "Help!' "Murder!" were heard
on the second floor of the Auburn house, in
this city. The boarders were aroused, and
the night clerk rushed upstairs just 10 time
to see the head cook, Mrs. Jane Haycock, fall
to the floor with blood streaming down ovel
the front of her night-dress.
Investigation developed the fact that
George Freestune, who was one of the board
ers, had entered Mrs. Haycocks room and
bound her head to prevent her screams, and
then outraged her person When he had
finished his fiendish work he started
to leave the room, when Mrs. Haycock, re-
covering her senses, gave vent to terrible
screams Then, to conceal what he had done
and prevent exposure, Freestune rushed back,
drew large knife, and deliberately cut the
outraged woman's throat and fed, supposing
he had killed her.
Officers were summoned and in few min
utes the culprit was under arrest. His hands
were covered with the blood of his victim, yet
he still protested his innocence He was
given a preliminary examination and held
to answer to the January term of the circuit
court
His victim is now lowering between life
and death, but every effort is being male to
save her life. The affair has aroused the
most intense excitement, and talk of lynch
ing the fiend is freely expressed.
Later on Freestune confessed his crime. He
was visited in his cell, and asked what was
his object in cutting Mrs. Haycock's throat.
II was drinking and did not know what l
was doing" he replied. There was cause,
but won't tell it,"
Re tbath M n at re
cocks wound"
"No; it is from my nose. The officers
knocked me down"
"What time did you enter the woman's
room"
about midnight. I had been with her
about three hours. did not know what l
was doing, but the old grudge 1 had against
her must have come up in my mind and
cause me to do what did"
"What grudge had you against herw
II will never tell that"
"Was there any one with your
"No. If had been sober l would have
washed the blood off my hands and knife,
and would have done it more secretly"
The prisoner is not bad-looking man, and
is young, apparently about % years old, of
light complexion and light hair His face
was scratched badly, indicating that the
victim had struggled with all her strength to
prevent him from carrying out his fendish
purposes.
Mrs. Haycock was found in her room
propped up on pillows, looking CHASTITY AM
scarcely breathing. she could not talk aal
your correspondent was requested to retire,
as his presence might excite her.
The cash across the throat is an
ugly one about five inches long,
but not sufficiently deep to entirely
sever the wind-pipe. It is thought she may
recover She is about so years I'D, tail, and
good looking. If she gets we'll the true story
of the deed may be told. Her wouId-be mGr-
derer is safe in Jail under S2O, 900 bonds, and
should his victim die, chances that he will be
lynched are good.

IN BOTH CHAMBERS.
Congress Goes to Work in Both
Branches.
The Holiday Recess---Speaker Car
li~le's Wealth---The Senate
Chairmanship---G Gossip
at the Capital.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 20.-lr the senate
Rev. Huntley, the new chaplain of the senate,
in his first prayer asked blessing on Our
brother AMI colaborer, the worthy servant OF
this senate, in this position during recent
years, who by words seasoned with grace and
by his walk and conversation, his coming In
and going out before these men, pointed
them to the Lamb Of God who taketh away
the sins of this world"
In the house, the credentials Of Scales, OF
North Carolina, we're called up by Skinner,
of North Carolina Keifer, of Ohio, offered
a resolution referring them to the committee
on credentials. This cas-. contains complica-
tions resulting from the death of w. +.
Poole of North Carolina, and the subsequent
redistricting Of the state.
After long discussion, Mr.. keifer with
drew his motion, and Mr.. Skinner was
sworn in.
The leaders Of the house have decided to
adjourn Dec. "a until Jan. 8. 1t is highly
probable that Carlisle will not announce the
house committees before Monday.
The nominations sent the senate comprise
an unimportant list Of postmasters. An
evening paper says the wearing effect of
the last several weeks plainly shows itself
upon Speaker Carlisle. He is paler than
usual, and his friends admit that he is phys
icaliy unfit for the laborous task he imposes
upon himself One of them said: "Unles
Carlisle takes better care of himself, he will
not live through the session."
The Critic quotes Republican senator as
saying: "If Senator Anthony should be
chosen presi lent pro tempore, in his enfeebled
condition, it might lead to Speaker Carlisle's
ascendency to the presidency in case of acci-
dent to President Arthur, and we don't want
to run even that slight risk"
Walter P. Brownlow, of Tennessee, door
keeper of the house Of representatives, has
been appointed postmaster of the souate.
Senator Cullom has introduced a bill for
the acceptance of the Illinois 6 Michigan
canal by the general government, on condi-
ton that it be made a free waterway be-
tween the lakes and the Mississippi river.
