Hanging Too Good for Him.

Thomas Demound, dissolute colored man
living in Philadelphia. ill treated his wife, who
is an industrious and worthy woman, in a most
horrible manner last week. 1t appears that
Demound desired some information which his
wife for some reason declined to impart, and
he resorted to torture to wiring the secret from
her. On Thursday night he tied her hand and
foot and left her in that condition until morn
ing, when he released her and left her unmo-
Tested until the following night, when he again
tried to get the information from her, and being
met with a refusal repeated the torment of the
preceding night. In the morning, being still
unsubdued, the brute forced wooden gag into
her mouth and. after securely tying her, heated
an iron and threatened to burn her to death.
Seeing that she was not afraid Of his threat, he
heated the iron to a white heat and then ap-
piled it to the woman's body, burning her in a
terrible manner on the face, arms, limbs and
back. Reused to the utmost fury by his wife's
stubbornness to reveal her secret. the husband
then poured vitriol over her, causing the most
excruciating agony. The woman tainted from
pain and exhaustion, and in this condition was
found by her cousin, when Mrs. Demound
was unable to speak. DIR. Donges was sum-
moned and did all he could to relieve her suffer
ings. She finally recovered sufficiently to tell
the story of her cruel treatment and how her
injuries had been inflicted. No trace of the
monster can be found.

A Sanguinary Ball.

A sanguinary conflict occurred near Fort
Stockton, Tex, last week, in which James Fra
zier, a rich cattleman, was stabbed to death,
and Crispine Sosa and Pedro Basillo, Mexicans.
were shot and killed. Frazier and party of
friends were on the way to his ranch on the
night of June % and stopped at the residence
of Pedro Casa, wealthy Mexican, who had
given dancing party in honor of st. Peters
Day, which was being largely attended by Mex
lean families.
The party of Americans iItruded themselves
in the festivities, presuming largely upon the
wealth and influence of the Fraziers, and took
more liberties than the proprieties would JUS
tify. In one of the quadrilles James Frazier
undertook what is commonly termed "to run
the dance" The Mexicans protested and he
hit Pubic Sosa over the head with pistol. A
general shooting and stabbing affray followed,
with the fatalities mentioned. The Fraziers
and their friends are swearing desperate things
and the Mexicans are prepared to protect them
selves. All disinterested reports tend to excul-
pate the Mexicans from responsibility for the
afray.

A Naval Reminiscence.

To THE EDITOR: On board the cutter Har-
riet Lane at Galveston. after she had been
boarded by the rebels among the first men
struck down were the gallant Capt. Wainwright
and First Lieutenant Lee, who both fought
with a desperation and valor that no mortal
could surpass until they were laid bleeding
and PROSTATE on the deck. young son of
Capt. Wainwright, only 10 years old, stood at
the cabin door, revolver in each hand. and
never ceased firing until he exhausted every
shot. One of his hands was disabled by ball
shattering four fingers, and then he burst into
tears and cried, "DO you want to kill me. ("
He was taken prisoner. So you see we had

A Smart SwindIe.

Mrs. C. Schreimer, of Philadelphia, was the
victim last week of a very adroit piece of
swindling. A sailor went into her bakery
and inquired of her if she knew where so and
SO lived (giving fictitious name), as he had
purchased for that person valuable set of
diamonds and would be ruined if he could not
find him and get the money which he had ad-
vanced returned. He then proceeded to ex-
hibit the alleged gems and just as he was doing
so a man who represented himself as jeweler
entered, examined the stones, pronounced them
very fine, and set value of at least 5000 upon
them. He then offered to loan the sailor $3.50
on the jewels, and persuaded the woman to put
up 500 and he would add $50 to the sum on
the following day-the diamonds to be left
with Mrs. Schreimer until the money was re-
turned. The unsuspecting woman advanced
$S0-all she could raise-and retained the jew
elry. which next day was discovered to be
nothing but tin and glass
