before her Then she sank into her chair
with scarcely audible sigh She is GO years
old. Some of the ladies present broke out into
sobs, and two of them tainted. District At
torney Wilson then, with tears rolling down
his cheeks, moved for the immediate sentence
Of the prisoner. The judge postponed sem

Dyer wept like a child, as the decrepit
woman was led away.
Mrs. Haights trial for the murder of her
husband, George w. Haight, Feb q, 1888,
was concluded and given to the jury at
MolT,isville, Madison county, after two
weeks Of work. The only material evidence
that the prosecution had was Haights ante
mortem statement. Mr. and Mrs Haight had
been married about ten years. During that
time the wife had secured about SIS 900 insur-
ance on her husbands life. When he
could not make the payments, she did.
The motive for the crime is alleged t. have
been to secure the insurance. Feb. %, 1888,
at 3 a. m. the servant was awakened by a
pistol-Shot. She went to Haights room and
found his wife standing by the bedside and a
bullet-hole in his brain. Mrs. Haight could
make no satisfactory explanation, and added
to the suspicion resting on her by immedi-
ately making preparations to notify the III
surance companies. Haight lived several days
and made statement that about 8 a. m he
was awakened by his wife getting out of bed
He saw her go toward a stand where loaded
revolver was kept She returned toward the
bed with cloth in her hand. Removing
this quietly from the revolver, she fred a
ball into his brain. 1t is alleged that by her
own hand Mrs. Haight took the life of her
two former husbands and also of her father
She has little or no sympathy, and viii prob

The E.oss.Buhear Row.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The all-absorbing topic
of the sporting circles is the coming Wallac.
Ross-Bubear boat race The practice of both
men is narrowly watched, and largo amounts
OF money are being freely laid on both.
Bubear, however. seems to have the call.
Men Well posted express the belief that the
lead given him by Ross-1O seconds-is too
much for the latter to overcome. Bubear,
they say, is slayer, rows as strongly at
the finish as at the start, and Is certain
to give the Canadian lively race. The
scullers practice daily, taking a spin in the
morning and another after dinner In prac.
tice Ross has shown terrific speed in spurts.
Both men are in good condition, AMI if nc
hitch occurs the race bids fair to be one Of
the closest ever contested on the Thames.

Governor Hamilton.

NEW YORK, Feb Ex-Governor Hamil.
ton, Of Illinois, was asked what the political
outlook in his state was, and said: "The ma
jority Of Illinois Republicans are in favor of
Logan He has, however, some opposi
ion. The Chicago districts are I'm.
friendly The question is how far the
opposition will extend and how mucL
it will handicap him outside of the state. If
the opposition should amount to third of the
delegation, it would be apoor Endorsement to
have the votes of the other two-thirds 1t is
not possible to predict just what proportion
Of the delegates Logan will have. He I'M
questionably has a majority, and a
large majority of the party in Illinois is
favorable to him. Kansas and Nebraska are
for him. Iowa and Minnesota are divided
and debatable Wisconsin and Michigan
are neutral. Next to Logan the talk is most
about Arthur and then Gresham. If
Gresham should be nominated he would
make a very strong candidate for the west
He is popular at home, and could carry In
diana beyond a doubt. Illinois Democrats
are all for the old ticket. Mcdonald has lit,

A Little Story with Large Moral, One
Man who Knew his own Business.

"No, my dear" said the venerable keeper of a
country store to a timid little girl whose head
scarcely came up to the counter, NO, my dear,
haven't any red flannel but we have some first
rate New Orleans molasses - Softly limiting that
she didn't think that would answer the purpose
quite as WELL the child went away in search of the
article she wanted.
"Have You BEFSoN,S CAPCINE PLAsTERS,' "
asked gentleman of certain drcggist whose
name could be given were it desired. Il am trou-
bled just now with touch of my old friend, the
lumbago and the Benson's Plaster seems to go
the spot almost as soon as il touches the skin.'
Not at present." replied the druggist genially,
but we have lots of plasters just good, There
is Alcock's. the Capsieum and others-won't one
of them do just as wellf''
MY dear SIR retorted the gentleman, with q
slight show of temper. II say nothing against
those articles, but am business man, and al
ways ask for precisely what want, and for moth
ing else. l may enlighten you, however, when l
say that sometime ago, for another disease,
which the Capcine has since cured me, tried all
those you mention, with no appreciate benefit.
They are inefficient, every one of them, the mean
est act of the proprietor. of some of them being
this: that they make plasters with similar sound
ing names to deceive the unwary into believing
they are the same thing. Experience taught me
the difference. I'll go to the next man in your line
Good day

uine has the word CAPCINE cat cleanly in the

ConklIng on the Next President.

ST LOUIS, Feb ga correspondent of The
Globe Democrat telegraphs an interview with
Roscoe Conkling, in which the ex-senator
after denouncing the action of the Hayes ad.
ministration in the Louisiana conflict, declar.
ing that Gen Grant elected Garfield, was
asked:
What do you think of the future prospects
of the party, Mr. Conkling77
Il am SO entirely out of politics myself, and
so ignorant Of party movements, that | am
the last person in the world to come to with
such question"
81 am not a very enthusiastic Republican
myself" | said, but believe heartily that
the Democratic party will not go into power
next year no matter what candidate they
may select
Well, sir, am BY no means as sanguine
and fail to see an intelligent basis for your
expectation. But pretend to no knowledge
IN the matter. But mark this, sir; of one
thing u certain in my own mind. The
Democratic party will elect the next president
Remember, l do not say he will be Demo
crat, but do say that that party will be the
determining factor in the result"
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-With reference to
the interview summarized above, Mr. Conk-
ling has sent a telegram to a gentleman il
st Louis in which he denies the correctness
OF the statements made therein, declaring
many of them stupidity untrue He saws
also that the conversation was private one

the confusion which followed Cash rode off.
Cash was concerned recently in a fatal due
fought by his father. A shelifs posse fol
lowed the murderer to his fathers house
tweaty-eight miles distant, but the elder
Cash defied them and said his son should not
be surrendered just now, public opinion being

King John and the = oudan.

LONDON, Feb. &c MIR. Rossam, the man
of many languages, and well able to speak
concerning Abyssinia, in an interview in re
gard to the published report that the govern
ment had ordered Admiral Hewitt to send
Commander Wolfe to King..J of Abys
sinia, to negotiate with that monarch for aid
in liberating the garrisons in southern
Soudan, said England might as well
ask the ruler of Ashantee to give
his aid as to apply TO Abyssinia;;
King John may desire to see the Souda1
tribes subjected, but his power against the
tribes is small If it were large, obtaining
help now would mean the Inauguration of a
course of carnage between Abyssinian and
Moslem tribes. Rossam suggests that Soudar
be conquered and then parceled out to chief:

The German Press on Minister Sar-

LONDON, Feb, ga Berlin correspondent
in q communication to The Standard says:
"The Independent papers here are bitterly
complaining of the dishonorable semi official
attacks upon Minister Sargent, who has never
been popular in official circles here Tho
inspired press pretends that he is unpopular
because merely politician and
not a scholar, like his predecessors The real
reason, however, is that Sargent does not re-
gard his position as a sinecure, but energeti,
cally fulfllls his political duties, which fact
often occasions difficulties"
The Vassische Gazette declares that it is
unwiSe to reprint the comments of the Ameri-
can press on the Lasker incident for fear the
editor would be imprisoned. Minister Sar-
gents dignifed course in ignoring the at
tacks of the German press is much approved.

TOLEDO, O., Feb. ga peculiar case has
been decided in the common plea court here
involving the validity of slave marriages
A colored man married here in 1889 but was
arrested for bgamy, it being charged that he
was married while slave to a slave woman
in Bedford county, Virginia, in 1851 The
judge instructed the jury that slaves, being
property, could not make legal contracts,
but that the courts have decided that
slave marriage became valid by Capitalization
as man and wife after the emancipation pro
clamation went into effect in 1861 The
case thus turned on the question of fact
whether the pair had so cohabited or not, a.
shown by evidence. The jury rendered
verdict of not guilty
