A EE.CORNERED TRAGEDY.

A Supposed Murdered Husband Turns Up
in Kentucky Only to See his Wife Killed,
to Xiii her Second Spouse and to Him.
self Receive a Death Wound.
MADISON, IND, Feb. 10.
About nine years ago young man
named Stephens married beautiful young
lady in Chicago and shortly removed to
TrimbIe County, KY, buying a farm and
settling down. Some years ago Stephens
left home for the East to purchase some
land, since which time nothing has been
heard from him until yesterday. His wife
supposed him dead, robbed and murdered.
She lived alone until last summer, when
she formed an attachment for a young
farm hand who had been in her employ for
four years, and they were married in
Louisville last July. Stephens stopped
at the house yesterday, not intending
to let himself be known, but his wife inn
mediateIy recognized him, throwing her
arms about his neck, and screaming "Bfy
long lost husband" and kissing him. This
aroused the jealousy of the new husband,
whereupon he struck her across the neck
with a drawing knife he had in his hand,
cutting her in afrightful manner and sever
ing the jugular vein. She fell to the floor
and expired almost Instantly. stephens
drew a revolver and shot the murderer
who in return gave Stephens a cut across
the back of the neck with the drawing
knife. Both men are said to be fatally in
iured.

A disastrous wreck occurred this morn
ing at Trenton, few miles from here, on
the Panhandle, whereby three tramps
were killed outright and one so seriously
injured that it is thought he will die. The
engineer, conductor and two brakemen
were badly injured, while two engines and
twenty-one freight cars were almost de-
molished. The scene Of the mishap is at
the foot of long grade, down which the
first section of q freight train was running
at a high rate Of speed. At the foot of the
hill is a little station and side tracks.
Some miscreants had moved a switch rail
without disturbing the signal light, which
caused the wreck.

Along the Submerged River Front of
Metropolis, IIIiuois-About Fifty Build
ings Destroyed.
METROPOLIS, ILL, Feb. 10.
The river front of this town may be said
to be well nigh in ruins. Such another
catastrophe never visited the place since
its existence. About three O'Clock p. m.
black cloud came up, charged with rain,
thunder and lightning and a hurricane OF
wind. That part of the city lying. on the
low grounds bordering on the river is flood
ed to depth of from one to seven feet of
water. In this district, with three excep-
tions, lay every prominent industry of the
city. 1t began with Lands lumber yards,
which were swept from the face of the wa
ters as with the bosom of destruction. The
storm king took his course of ruin up the
river bank, striking the large stave works
of William Shelton & Co., scattering them
to the four winds of heaven. The destruc-
tion of these institutions will throw out of
employment near fifty families, placing
the larger portion of them on the mercy of
the world. Keeping up the river, Captain
JOhnson's and William Shelton'5 new
frame buildings are a total wreck. The
Greens hotel, a new building, was also
wrecked. Then followed the McBane build
ing on Lower Ferry street. The next build
front part of the McCauley House, the best
hotel building in the city. The fine brick
Touring mills of Quante Bros. are yet
weathering the gale. Powle & Co. and
Yost, Bigelow & Co. will suffer great loss.
The flooded streets are literally filed
with the debris of wrecked buildings,
household furniture and merchandise,
making such a scene of destruction as the
human eye seldom witnesses in a lifetime.
1t can not yet be told positively whether
any lives are lost or not, Sheriff Karr and
two other men saw two men without oars
in q skiff out in the river and tried man.
fully to rescue them but could not reach
them. They, perhaps, found watery graves,
as the waves rolled and pitched like the
old ocean. The wind came almost directly
up the stream in a straight stretch of nearly
twenty miles, coming in the very worst di-
rection possible. In all perhaps fifty build
ings are destroyed, and at this writing the
damage can not be estimated. Captain !.
G. Willis has a leg broken, and later re-
ports state that the foundry of Shelton q
Bolcourt is well nigh destroyed.
The old National Hotel, famous as the
stopping place of Charles Dickens, has just
gone down, and later reports are to the ef-
feet that one of the large warehouses of
Yost, Bigelow & Co., together with its con-
tents, has met the same fate as the other
building, and the end is not yet.
