SUDDEN DEATH.
Charles E. Fox Called to the Great
Unknown Without
Warning.

The sad work of death has been fire.
quently chronicled by the city press of late
and il now becomes the painful duty of the
BAzoo TO report the sudden death OF an
other well-known gentleman, Mr.. Charles
+ Fox, Of ST. Louis.
Mr.. Fox was 4 commercial man, travel
ing for the wholesale quSensware house oil
III iWrstermaun & CO., Uf st. Louis. He
arrived in the city Sunday morning on the
esrly train and registered at the Garrison
house.
Alter eating a hearty dinner he an
nounced his intention of going t. sleep
and requested Mr.. Fisher to wake him
in time for the train going
south at o'clock in the even
ing. AT $50 O'Clock porter was sent to
the room occupied by MIR. Fox to arouse
him. The porter knocked on the door but
received no answer.
He then turned the knob and finding the
door unlocked attempted to open it, when
he made the discovery that Mr. Fox was
not in bed as supposed, but lying on the
floor with his head against the door. The
porter went down stairs and informed Mr..
Fisher of this fact.
That gentleman's worst fears were al
once aroused and he FASTENED te the room
Finding he could not gain an entrance by
the door he went out on TO the awning and
broke open the window shutters, gaining
an entrance by this means. His fears were
only too well founded. Mr.. Fox was dead
and from the appearance of the body had
been dead for some time.
The surroundings showed that he had
changed his clothes, and was preparing to
60 to bed when the grim monster overlook
him, and when il departed il left only the
earthly remains.
Coroner Overstreet was notified and yes
terdsy morning held an inquest over The
body. The jury returned a verdict Of
death caused by heart disease.
Mr.. Newt. Spreecher telegraphed the sad
tidiDgs to Mr.. Fox's brother in st. Louis,
and received an answer, saying he would be
here ON the first train, but up to time OF
going to press he had not put in an appear.
ance. Mr.. Fox has a wife and two child
rem in Dayton, Ohio, and it is thought the
remains will be taken there for inter
ment.
Mr. Fox was by no means a stranger In
this city, as he has sold many a bill OF
goods to the queensEsre dealers of the
Queen City, and at one time made his
headquarters here, boarding with Mr.. Sam
uel Spreecher, on west Third street.
He was a man loved and respected by all
who knew him; a man on whose name
there was no blemish, as upright in his
dealings as the day is long and as true to
his friends and patrons as steel. His IN
timely demise is deepl, deplored, and his
family have the heartfelt sympathy of in

PRESERVING THE PEACE
An E musing Episode in Justice
Rifles Court Yesterday
Afternoon.

Several days ago the BAZoo mentioned q
slight family disturbance in the residence
of one The mas Meahan, at HOustonis,
at which time Thomas was accused of Civ
ing his wife an uEmerciful humping draw
ing q revolver upon her and Offering her
other indigniiies. The Csc was called in
Justicr j. A. Halstesd'; court yester-
dav afternoon, when the d feRdaot
through his attorney, w. A. Fsstfield, a
motion tor charge Of venue, which upon
the necessary affidavit being filed, was of
course granted, and the case sent 10 Justice
Rifle. Justice Halstead, with his usual
hospitality, offered The u,e of his Office for
the trial of the case, and the attorneys and
witnes es ali being assemblies there. Justice
Rifle took of his hat. rolled up his sleeves
sbd proceeded 10 business.
The evidence in the case went to show
that there had been a row of huge dmen-
sions in the Meah.n household,
on Sunday morning last, which was, if
common rmmor be true far from being the
first of their little domestic episodes. The
husband deprived the wife of her usual
weapon, the brocmstick, and converting
II into shilalah, lambasted the wife of his
bosom and dc molished lamps and other
small articles, winding up By drawing or
attempting to draw a revolver on his wife.
The evidence also showed that the wife was
not sltoeether idle while this interesting
performance was going on, and protected
herself as best size could.
The Judge. after listening to very elab-
crate arguments by the attorneys on both
sides of the case, assessed fine of 50 and
oostsIaggregating about SIS againsi the pris-
oner.
His Honor, said that in the interest of
domestic harmony he would remit the fine
of So, providing the obstreperous couple
would kiss and make friends. To these
conditions Mr.. and Mrs Meahan readily
consented and the osculatory process was
about to be commenced, when the husband
of Mr. Meahan's sister, who was her cham
pion in her warfare upon her husband,
demurred to any such proceedings. Al
this iuncture Justice Halstead, who had
been an interested spectator of the pro-
eeedings, came TO the relief of bis brother
Justice, and declared that he would not
have an order of the court inIerfered with
in any such manner. After some words
the irate brother-in-law cooled down, the
kissing compact was signed, sealed and
delivered, and the court adjourned.

A BRUTE.
Thomas Meehan, of Houstonia,
Beats His Wife in a Shameful
Manner.

Probably one of the meanest men in the
world, If not the meanest, is he Who NAL
treats the one he swore TO love, honor and
protect-his wife, and il once more becomes
the duty of the BAzos TO show to the world
the misdoings of one of these brutes in the
guise OF man.
The man wins has been guilty of the low,
cursed work this time, is one Sho has been
shown up in the BAzoo before and who
richly deserves all the hard things that
have been said about him.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Thomas Nee
han, of Housionia. appeared before Justice
Halstead and stated that she wished to
have a warrant issued for the arrest OF her
husband, on the charge of assault and bat
terry. The warrant was issued and placed
in the hands of the constable and will
probably be served to-day. The facts in
the case, as told 10 a BAZooITE are as fol-
lows:
Meehan formerly lived in this city and
abused his wife continually. He kept this
practice up until the papers made 1t too
warm for him and he moved his family to
Houstonia where he probably thought he
could abuse his wife whenever he chose
and no one would be the wiser.
This last episode took place last Sunday.
He went home out of humor and at once
proceeded 10 vent his spite on his wife,
who is frail little woman and unable 10
stand his abuse. Gathering up a broom
stick he struck her two blows, leaving
marks which she will carry for many
days to come. The lady had a coal oil
lamp in her hand at the time. This he
broke and threw the oil all over her face
and neck, and the blistering effects are yet
plainly visible. After this cowardly at.
tack he went and got his revolver and
threatened to shoot her.
AS soon as the unfortunate
woman could get away from him
she left the house and came TO this city,
and is now stopping with one OF her
friends.
If captured, Meehan should be made to
pay the full penalty of the law. A barrel
of tar and lot of feathers is very suggest
i've. A man who would wilfully mistreat
his wife would murder a man in cold
blood, and it is we'll known what is done
with an individual of this kind.
