 Cruelty Butchers Her.


 Cruelty Butchers Her.
 JACKSON, Mich, Aug. 22.-A horrible butchery was committed about o'clock this morning by Thomas Murphy, an employe of the Smith Purifier company. Murphy has been addicted to attacks of insanity. and last night he imagined burglars were trying to get into the house He arose, armed him self with small pair of scissors and went to the door and began talking loudly. His wife approached and touched him gently on the shoulder, thinking that would restore him to his senses, but he turned furiously upon her and stabbed her five times in the breast and once in the throat, severing one of the arter- ies. The poor wife bled to death in ten minutes. The woman's screams awakened her three sons who rushed in and dragged the maddeued father from his bloody work. When Murphy realized what he haddone he became frantic with grief and rushed almost naked to the police station and gave himself up. When interviewed by 8 reporter in jail this morning he had apparently forgotten that his wife was the victim and talks Of ferce encounter with burglars.

The Arsenal That the French Soldiers
 Will BOmbard.
 PARIS, Aug. 22.-China has notified France that attempt to repeat the Kee Lung incident in which Admiral Lespes at tackled and destroyed the forts of Kee Lung will be considered declaration of war; and that China will then call on the treaty powers to fulfill their duties to the neutrals in the Islands of Formosa, those powers hay ing assumed protectorate over Kee Lung in the above mentioned treaty. It is an nouneed to-day that Admiral Courbet was instructed last evening to lombard the Foo Chow arsenal; but it is expected that very little resistance will be offered and that the arsenal will be easily captured. It is not exactly an arsenal-it manufactures neither powder, rifles nor can non; it is more particularly collection of workshops, factories and yards for naval construction and for the development of metallurgical wealth of the country. In ordinary times it employs about two thousand workmen, un- der the superintendence of sixty-six Euro peans. The port of Foo Chow is not on the sea coast, but about twenty miles inland on thesriver Mier. The city or settlement lies about eleven miles up the river and is not accessible to steamers drawing more than seventy-two feet of water The arsenal lies about midway between the mouth of the river and the city. It is the only place where ship can be built by Chinamen in European style.
