Waddy Krommer, the young man found
by Mr.. Charles II. Wood in his house
after midnight Thursday night, was in
the dock at the Police Court this morning.
He was charged with houscbrcaking by
Wood. The court promptly nolle pro-
sequied the case, because the defendant
was on the premises with full knowledge
of Mrs. Wood, the compliments wife.
Wood is night Waterman, and returned
TO his home at an unusual hour, to see if
things were as he found them. Mrs,
Wood appeared at court this morning and
demanded warrant for her husband, for
threats of personal violence. She denied
the charge of infidelity and said her hus-
band accused her wrongfully. She swore
that the threats occurred this morning in
front of the court. She called her chill
dren-three boys-and asked them if they
wanted to live with her or their father.
He then threatened to kill her if she came
after the children. The warrant was
granted.

Washington Sea Lion nIotherless.

The sea lioness which gave birth to q
little sea lioness in this city has, with her
young one, been great attraction lately
at COLCHESTER, Md. They were confined in
pen. Friday while the mother was at
play, or, as some say, was endeavoring to
catch the fish that came into the pen, She
made lively dive toward the stockade
that surrounds the pen. The piles are
wider apart at the bottom than at the top,
and she ran her head between two of them
when she Owed Rising to the surface
her neck became caught fast. She strug-
gled frantically to get loose but could not,
and before assistance could reach her she
had died of strangulation.
The poor little baby sea lion is therefore
deprived of its mothers care. AS it is too
young to be fed on the food of well-grown
sea lions, it is probable that it will starve
to death, although the company will make
every possible effort to save its life.

case of poisoning is attracting public atten-
ton in San Francisco. Mrs. Celia Bow
ers, wife of DIR. j. Milton Bowers, of that
city, died on the night of November l..
Her life was insured in several beneficiary
organizations for Sl7, 900 in favor of her hus-
band. 1t was given out that she died from
an abscess of the liver. Hurried arrange
ments were made for her burial, but before
the interment took place an unknown per-
son called at the coroner's office and stated
that there were reasons to suspect that the
woman had been poisoned by persons inter
ested in obtaining the insurance on her
life. On the strength of further develop
ments her husband was arrested, and the
stomach and intestines of Mrs. Bowers were
placed in the hands Of DR.. w. d. johnson
for analysis. In his report at the Coroner's
inquest he stated that he had no hesitation
in asserting that the cause of Mrs. Bowers

been prospecting around the North Carroll

Vile county and appointed a time to preach
at CLASSY Mountain church. A number OF
the good citizens Of that section heard OF the
contemplated visit and quietly arranged to
be there A report Of this gathering was
conveyed to the missionaries together with
intimations which seem to have convinced
them that their health required a change
of air and scenery. They failed to hold the
meeting and when last heard of were care
fully keeping their carcasses on yonder side
