SLOW PoIsoN.-The story of woman's
awful crime was briefly told in divorce
petition lodged for record Wednesday in
the Louisville, KY, Court of Chancery.
Solomon Froman, an old and wealthy prop.
erty owner, is the plaintiff in the suit, and
his wife, Minnie Mees Froman, is the de-
PENDANT. The plaintiff prays divorce upon
the grounds of cruelty and conspring to
murder. The parties were married in 1879,
the bride being young and pretty woman
and widow. In the latter part Of last
October Mr.. Froman was taken i'll, and
several physicians Who were called to at
tend him failed to discover the nature OF
his aiment. He was weak and cross, and
in about two weeks became, instead of q
very vigorous old man, a physical and al
most a mental wreck. During his illness
his wife lowered constantly about his pill
low, with woman named Louisa Stewart
az companion and assistant. One day old
man Froman saw this woman looking sor-
rowfully at him, and he asked her what was
the matter. She said Something awful,
al weeks after this the Stewart woman dis.
appeared, and with her gold watch. Mr..
Froman succeeded last Friday in causing
her arrest, and Tuesday she stated that the
watch and sum of money had been given
! her by Mrs. Froman to leave the place and
keep her mouth shut. She also swore be-
fore magistrate that Mrs. Froman had
been poisoning her husband by degrees. The
| drug she administered was a slow poi
son furnished by some one who was in the
conspiracy to murder Mr. Froman. The
case was brought to the attention of the
pOljPa and an pt1ort was made tn arrest
Mrs. Froman, but it was found that she had
fed when she discovered his intention to
sue for divorce. Louisa Stewart is in Jail.

LOCKED ALONE IN A Room FOR SIXTY
YEARs.-Daniel Hawn, an insane man, who
has been kept in solitary confinement by
his brothers since 1923, died in Juniata
township, Pa, yesterday. He was 81 years
old. The maniac was one Of FIVE or six
brothers, who, when young men, work ed
together on their fathers farm. His malady
is said to have been caused by drinking
while overheated from stream in the har-
vest field He was Immediately confined
by his brothers, and was ever afterwards
totally excluded from the world. But once
in the subsequent sixty years did he regain
his freedom, and that was about fifty years
ago. The room in which ne was kept was
of small dimensions, and with but one win
dow, and to prevent him from reaching the
latter he was chained in an opposite corner.
A stove was placed in small opening in a
partition wall, with the front facing into a
hall, so that fires could be made without
entering the room. Four of the brothers
besides Daniel remained unmarried and
lived together accommodating money and
property, which they held in common. Two
OF them survive, and are the owners of 900
acres in the township.

TRIcHINosIs.-The dreaded malsdy is
not necessarily fatal, though not thing to
be cured, but it is possible for patient to
get WELL The suffering of the disease is
caused by the action of trchine working
their way into the muscles 1t causes the
most acute agony. The fatal effects are usu-
ally caused by exhaustion. After the ami.
malcule have made their way into the mus
Giles, occupying them at the rate of about
100 to the square inch, or 5000, 900 to the
pound, they become encrysted, each being
surrounded by little sac. Though dor
mant they are still alive, but do no further
injury 1t is impossible for man ever
to eradicate them from the system, so far
as has been ascertained, but the only posi-
BILE way that they could be communicated to
another would be by cannibalistic methods.
1t is thought that the disease is much more
common than is generally supposed, but
that from unprotected diagnosis the disease
is frequently supposed to be typhoid fever,
and is treated as such.

IT Is now reported that the republican
opponents of the Morrison tariff bill and
their democratic allies will oppose the con-
sderation Of that bill when its author shall
call il up in the United States House Of
Representatives next week. IF this be true,
it shows that they are afraid of the effect Of
q discussion of the bill by those who thor
oughly understand the unequal, unjust and
oppressive character of the present tariff,
and that they, too, know that all the voters
Of the country need to induce them to send
free traders to Congress is that they shall
be well informed upon the subject Of the
tariff; that they shall know that though by
the tariff the poor man is compelled to pay
rs much toward the support of the Govern
ment as his rich neighbor, it does not in
crease his wages to the extent of silver.

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL II.
Mr.. w. II. YOUNG, president of the Eagle
and Phoenix Manufacturing Company, at

Mr.. w. II. YOUNG, president of the Eagle
and Phoenix Manufacturing Company, at
Columbus, Ca, says
"a reduction of 20 per cent. on the tariff
would not enable England to compete Wild
this country, North or South, IN heavy
weight goods, but if the tariff on all articles
entering into the cost of manufacture III
this country were also reduced ~ per cent,
then the manufacturers, North and South,
would be benefited, and if the duties on all
such goods entering into the cost OF manu-
featuring were made free, then the North
and South could compete with England IN
all the markets of the world. If the tariff
were removed altogether, the only effect
would BIZ that the Southern mills could then
compete as successfully with Old England
as they now do with New England. he
Iieye if all our custom houses were abolish,
ed that this country would find IN England
u large market for our manufactures. l
have visited England three times and nave
Investigated the cost of labor compared with
the South, and found il more, or higher than
here"
Mr. Young ouly corroborates what most
every other thinking man in tie country
has reason to believe, which ls, that with
free trade, so that the South could get its
machinery and analiue dyes cheap, it would
SOON be the great cotton manufacturing cen
tire of the world.
