AN OLD MAID POISONED.
Curious Facts In Connection with the Death
of Woman.

Curious Facts in Connection with the Death
OF a Woman.
A Milwaukee (Wis.) special says:
Dodge county, in Wisconsin, runs high
with excitement at present. A few
years ago Miss Ann Freedom, who had
kept q boarding-school at Morrisania,
n. Y, sold her property there and
came West, settling down at Fox Lake,
Wis. She had about s25, 900, which
she deposited in a bank, and she willed
her property, amounting to about $780,
900, to near blood relatives. She brought
with her West a young girl whose pa
rentage is shrouded in mystery. Some
twenty years ago distinguished-look-
ing gentleman came to Miss Freeborn's
residence and left child with her, for
whose maintenance he paid some money
in advance. Later on payments ceased,
and Miss Freedom began inquiries,
and discovered the man who had
brought the child in the person of }.
T. johnson, a wealthy vessel-owner
in Buffalo. He had married, and
was mortified at being found
out. For Miss Freeborn's silence
he had to pay dearly, and then
Miss Freeborn took the walf away.
This girl in later years turned into
a very handsome woman, gifted with
high mental faculties. A few years ago
she was married to F. A. Killops, a
prominent lawyer in Dodge county, aud
soon afterward persuaded Miss Free
born to change her will and disinherit
her relatives. This created ill-feellng,
and Mrs. Mary True, wealthy widow
and Ouakeress, of Baltimore, came
West to fight her claims. She aud the
other dissatisfied members of the family
claimed that Miss Freedom had been
unduly influenced by the waif, now
Mrs. Killops, anu that at the time OF
changing the will the old spinster had
been of unsound mind.
Last Thursday Miss Freehorn died
under very peculiar circumstances
which caused the authorities to order
post-mortem examination. 1t revealed
the fact that Miss Freedom had died
from congestion of the brain and kid
neys, caused by poisoning. A SECOND
investigation was ordered, and foul
physicians conducted it and found th'
same symptoms, but discovered als'
that during the two intervening days
the corpse had been opened again, tn
stomach taken out, and by means of
sponge cleansed thoroughly. The ply
sicians who conducted the first ex
animation disclaim any knowledge o
how the stomach was cleaned and how
its contents were removed. This iea
, ture will be made the subject Of spe
, cial investigation. After these fact
, became known the relatives of tn
: spinster by force removed the corps
from Mrs. Killops's house, where 1t ha
p remained. In the mean time suspiclo
f rests on Mrs. Killops, who was the onl
n one who could gain through the deaf
E of Miss Freedom. She is being guard
e ed now at her house, while the stomac
e has been sent to Chicago for analysis

rne Jnmcs.Riyer Free Bridge,

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
What is the matter with the work on
the Free bridge? When the contractor
first ripped up the floor, he commenced
with fifteen or twenty men. That
number has now dwindled to, say, half
a dozen men. We were also promised
a passage over it in forty days. More
than that time has elapsed, and certain
" not more than one third Of the work
has been done. II the remainder of the
work progresses in the same ratio, travel
will be resumed over it about the lstoi
March.
1t is in order for somebody to rise and
explain why this long delay in compile
ting the repairs Of the bridge. Why this
delay? Why is it that the bridge has
to be closed at all? It's said that none
Of the railroad bridges have ever been
closed single day for simple repairs.
The so-called James-Riyer Free bridge
has from the very date Of its charter
been delusion and a snare to those
who counted upon rapid and free trans
portation between Richmond and the
south side, and to many it has proven
a veritable " bridge of sighs." 80

A Boston special says Asa wealthy
lady was driving in Milton recently her
coachman discovered q tramp by the
road side with blood-fecked lips, who
declared that he was dying from hem
orrhage. To her offer to give him shell
ter and medical treatment he replied
that he was walking TO his home in
Lewiston, Me-. to see his wife and chill
dren before he died. She gave him
several dollars, and on conversing after
ward with friends, found that they had
met the same man under the same cir
cumstances and filed his pockets fol
him.
It is explained that this is the latest
trick Of impostors. q" Hemorrhag'

Female Bouquet-Thrower - kebuked by
the Actor She Favored.
The San francisco ArgOnam gives
the following description of an original
event as occurring recentlyat the Casino
in that city Mr.. Carlton was singing
in 'Nanon,' with the success that has
thus far done much to enhance his repu-
tation, when lady who sat in the
right-hand proscenium box began to
attract the attention of the audience.
1t is said that she has been very steady
in her attendance at the theatre while
Mr.. Carlton has been singing there, and
her rapt admiration for the baritone at
tracted attention. Carlton is less a
masher than any one oil SINH
lar position / ever knew. lie
is vigorous, thrifty, domestic, and
has good business ability. On the
street he usually louI ges about, or, ra-
theirs, hurries about-ior he is appa-
rently always in haste-in business
clothes, and on the stage one misses the
sheep's-eye and grimaces which tenors
and baritones usually cast at the pretty
women in the audience. The woman
in the box at the Casino the other
night was not particularly beautiful,
nor was she dangerously young, but
there was no question about her admi-
ration for the baritone. Every time he
came on the stage she leaned forward
from the box and stared at him soulfully.
When he left the stage she sank back IN
chair listlessly, and did not exhibit the
slightest interest in any one else's per-
Torrance. When Carlton sang the
waltz song in the second act, the feel
ings of his admirer in the box became
manageable, and she arose and threw
him a huge bouquet. AS she did so a
large, square envelope fell from the
mass of roses. The baritone tossed
the flowers carelessly on the floor be-
hind the scenes, picket up the note
stepped forward, burned it to a crisT
over the footlights, and resumed his
song without ever changing a muscle o
his face. Anything more painful thar
the appearance of the woman in th'
box would be impossible to imagine
The very wrinkles in her face spelled
modification as she hurried from thu
theatre.

"what is the true history Of your
famous prize-riDg rulesS"
swell, John Chambers and ! wrote
them while was attending school at
Cambridge. When there held for two
years the lightweight championship IN
the ring. The amateur cups at the an
nual sparring matches were prizes that
many boxers sought. We then had no
definite rules Of boxing. Chambers and
| were delegated to draft set of rules.
We did so, and afterward revised them.
Hitherto it was difficult to decide, when
two men fought, which got the better
in scientific points. The rules were
written to cover not only scientific
points. but any questions that might
arise as to which was the best boxer.
Well, | rather think the rules were sui
fcient for all ring purposes. My father
was a good boxer. think prize fight
ing rather a brutal exhibition. or
course am fond of all manly sports,
but my time is not given up to them.
In England the prize-ring has almost
been given up. Sports Of that kind
have been on the decline for some time
there. The reason do not attend many
boxing matches is because find it dit
ficult to keep myself from joining IN
and knocking some one out. All the
Measure Of the exhibition is lost by my
wishing to be a participation instead OF
q spectator.
America has much to be proud OF
in fine boxers. 1t is carried on to a
greater extent, and the people patronize
and encourage the art. In San Fran

Even the amateurs did remarkably

makes a rush at his opponent and beats
down his barriers of defence. Then
if his opponent could knock hin
back while he is thus exposed, giving
him terrible blows, and at times leav
ing himself unguarded, no doubt thu
tide would change. Reverse the metho'
of fighting now, and attack Sullivan To-
all that can be gained. The onslaught
which he has never been used to aston
ishes him, and puts him in an attitud
of defence, something he never contem
Mated. The rusher is met by rushel
and the tug Of war is more uncertai
than ever. But as | have not VII

any analytical discourse about II
1t was the old tactics TO stan
