SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. OCTOBER 70, 1885,

young couple lived in elegant style. But
Clarence began 10 drink, and neglected
his business. Annie followed in her hus-
bands footsteps, and having acquired the
habit of eating opium she lost all control
OF herself. The friends OF the couple de-
serted them and they took what remained
OF their fortune and went to Bellefonte,
where for years they were known as ter
rible drunkards. They lived in an old
shanty until their money was exhausted.
The husband, driven to despair, blew his
brains out, and his wife buried him by
selling diamond ring which she had
kept during all Der troubles. 1t has been
a mystery how she lived, but it is thought
that relatives sent her money. After her
husbands death she drank worse, and
this afternoon she was found dead in her
bed with vial of opium in her hand. BY
her side was a note which read: Il have
wasted my life and don't want to live any
longer" She comes from one of the old
est families in Northern Pennsylvania.

home in this city this morning from New
Brunswick, N. j., whittier he Was carried
by schooner, the crew OF which found
him chnging unconscious to log off
Bridgeport harbor, Tuesday, at daybreak
he had marvellous escape from drown
ing, and the story of his adventure, as
told by himself to-day, is wonderful. He
says that he went fishing in a sharpe,
near the mouth OF the New Haven Har-
Dor, Monday evening, but suddenly dis
covered that the heavy wind and tide were
driving out into the sound. He saw log
hOating near him, and tried TO make for it.
In doing so the boat got into the trough Of
the sea and strong puff of wind caused
il 10 lurch and throw him out. When he
came to the surface the sharpe had drift
ed away from him and he chung TO the log
for his life. After that he knew no more
until he recovered consciousness " ed
nesday afternoon in the house of Der mis-
sullivan, on Summer street, New Bruins
wick. Sullivan told him that he was left
in his charge by the crew of the schooner,
the name of which he did not know. They
picked him out nearly u miles from the
place where the boat capsiZed, and had
been tossing about on the sound in very
rough weather for seven hours. His
friends in this city had given him up for
dead, and when he reached here this
morning there was great rejoicing among
them. He is still suffering severely from
the effects of his experience.

BAEELED BY a WOMAN,
An Audacfous Burglar Put to Flight by
Brave Woman.

An Audacfous Burglar Put to Flight by q
Brave Woman.
CLEVELAND, O., July s.-William
Crawford, a wealthy young man of 1877
Dodge street, was awakened at one
O'Clock yesterday morning by pull at
the sleeve of his night-shirt and the glare
of bull's-eye light. The burglar Or
dered MI. Crawford to get up and show
him the valuables about the house. Mrs.
Crawford was sleeping with her babe in
the next room, and her husband fearing
the effect upon her nerves, offered the
burglar $50 to go Off and not awaken
her. The burglar took the $50 and then
violated his contract by ordering Craw-
ford to precede him to her room. Craw-
ford quietly awOke his wife. The lady
denied having any jewelry, watch or dia-
monds.
While the burglar was arguing with
Mr.. Crawford about the matter, Mrs.
Crawl ord slipped into the next room and
secured her husbands revolver, but on
returning was confronted by the burglar
and disarmed. The latter then started
to take the baby, intending probably to
compel the mother to surrender her
jewel case. She threw open the window
and shrieked for help, and the neighbors
responding the burglar decamped. The
burglar cut the telephone wire and pulled
down all the blinds before arousing the
famili.

POISON IN THE BOTTLE.

A Dinner Party Poisoned, Some Fatally:
By Drinking Wine From q Bottle Which
Had Previously Contained Jimson Weed.
BURLINGTON, IA, July 8.-A fatal
poisoning case is reported from Scott
County. A family named Baker enter
tanned dinner party last evening, at
which dozen persons were present,
nearly all being relatives. At dinner
wine was served from bottle in which
it had been placed few days ago. The
bottle had recently contained liniment
made from roots of the Jimson weed.
Nearly all at the table drank the liquid.
In few moments all were seized with a
terrible illness. Their eye-balls swelled
to an abnormal degree, great drops of
froth issued from their mouths.
and the sick persons hit at
themselves and nearly tore off their cloth
ing. In their agony they screamed and
rolled on the floor. DR.. Bell was called,
who summoned another physician. The
patients had to be held, sometimes by
five persons, before the stomach pump
could be used. Mrs. Hardesty, who was
seemingly the least I'LL, died in an hour.
Under heroic treatment the five other
persons were eased of their pain, but all
lie in a comatose condition, and it Is
feared that Samuel Baker may die.

BOLD THIEVES.

A Pair Of Chicago Crooks Gain Entrance
Into q Chi cago Residence In the Guise Of
Plumbers, Knock Down and Rob the Mis-
tress of Over q Thousand Dollars and Es'
cape With Their Booty.
CHICAGO, ILL, July AT noon yes.
terday two men dressed like mechanics
went to the house of Thomas Smith, a
draughtsman at so Eldridge Court. Mrs.
Smith was home alone. One of the men
had bag of tools. They said they were
plumbers sent by the landlord,
and she unsuspectingly showed
them into the kitchen. There
they felled her to the floor
by blow with a fist. Before she had
time to cry out she was choked in
sensible. A towel was then utilized as a
gag, both ends being tied together back
of her head. The robbers then tore open
the bosom of Mrs. Smiths dress and got
hold of wallet containing $1,000. Be-
fore the men had lett there was ring at
the bell, One of the robbers went to the
door and told the gentleman and his wife
who called that Mrs. Smith was too i'll to
see them. Then the men discussed the
propriety of killing Mrs. Smith by setting
the house on fire or by drowning her in
the bath-tub. They finally left her lying
on the floor and made their escape. In
half an hour she had released herself and
raised an alarm. The police have made
no arrests.

HosTlLlTlEs THREATENED.

The Texas Drovers, Whose Cattle ara
stopped at the Cherokee Outlet, Threat
on to Force Their Way Through With
Arms il Necessary.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, July 9.-There is
serious trouble threatened between the
ranchmen and the Cherokee outlet and
Texas drovsrs. The trouble grows from
the stopping of numerous herds of north
ern Texas cattle by the resident ranch
men, through authority obtained from the
United States District Attorney of the
Western District OF Kansas. Near Camp
Supply, on the Fort Dodge trail, $4,000
head are now held. The drovers have
become enraged at the authorities inter-
ference, and openly declare that unless
some arrangements are speedily made to
give them an outlet they will cut their
amply able to do it, one hun
dred and sixty well-armed cowboys being
connected with the different outfits. The
situation is considered critical. The.
range at the camp will no longer furnish
sufficient grass. The cowboys are idle
under pay and many OF the herds under
contract for delivery in Wyoming at
certain time. The trail from Texas mp
is crowded and as they arrive renewal
of i'll feeling becomes general, although
no definite action has been taken.
large stock owner has declared that he
will move out on Saturday fully prepared
for any resistance that may be offered.
1t is presumed that general movement
will be made, and an armed conflict will
result. A protest of the cattle men on
the strip against Texas stock passing
over their range is the source of the
trouble.

STORMS AND CYCLONES.

Serious Ravages of the Elements in Wis
consin, Minnesota and Michigan-Houses
Unroofed, Crops Destroyed, Trains
Wrecked and Telegraph Wires Pros
trated.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, July "a speoial
dispatch received at the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railways general
Office here indicates that destructive
cyclone has visited the section OF the
State about Sparta. Thirteen freight
cars and two passenger coaches were
blown from the track aud destroyed.
Telegraph wires were torn down, and it
is as yet impossible to get particulars or
learn how great the damage has been.
ST. PAUL, MIMI, July 9.-Specials
just received say terrific wind and rain
storm visited the western and south
western sections Of this State yesterday
afternoon. In some places, the storm
took the shape of a cyclone, and de-
stroyed everything in it's path. Crops
suffered the most. Whole fields were
destroyed. So far no casualties are re-
ported, but some country districts lying
in the path of the storm have not yet
been heard from
MONTICELLO, MINI, July 10.-A cy.
clone passed north of this place yester-
day afternoon. The track of the storm
was about five miles wide, and the cloud
of greenish hue and funnel-shaped. A
house between Big Lake and B ecker was
struck aud scattered along tine prairie.
A little child playing in yard was
picked up and carried some distance,
but received only q few scratches. "A
man named Magee, who took shelter
near knoll, says that in the cloud he
could see pieces of timber and wreckage
piling about, but his account is rather
meager, as he admits that he was very
much frightened. Reports come In
slowly, but SO far mo deaths have been
reported.
DETROIT, MICH, July 10.-A special
from Allegan says: 1.-TWO miles north
of this city Wednesday night tornado
enveloped and swept over tract about
three miles long and eighty rods wide,
resulting IN great damage. Buildings
were unroofed and serious injury was
done to standing timber and orchards.

THE AMERICAN OCTOPUS.

Another Reach of the Monopolistic Ten
tacIes and Another Victim Absorbed
The Latest Move of the Western Union
The Rapid Transit Scooped In and the
Bankers and Merchants Given Its Coup
de Grace.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE entire alb
sence of ceremony with which the wires
of the American Rapid Transit Telegraph
Company were yesterday transferred to
the Western Union Telegraph Company
surprised even the people who hurry
along Broadway and are not easily aston
ished. It seems that yesterday morning
negotiations, which had been pending
between the two companies for some
time past, were completed, and the West
ern Union Company was made the agent
of the receiver of the American Rapid
Transit Company, and an order of the
Court to take possession of the latter's
property was obtained. At half-past
three o'clock General Eckert, of the West
ern Union, appeared in the Bankers
& Merchants building, where the Amer
can Rapid Transit Company's wires have
been operated for the past year, and TAX
ing formal possession, walked quickly
away. Ten minutes later dozen brawny
fellows appeared on the roof of the
Bankers & Merchants building, and In
the course of twenty minutes they had
removed every wire belonging to the
American Rapid Transit Company. By
five O'Clock the transfer of the wires
from the Bankers & Merchants building
to that of the Western Union was COM
pleted, and all inside and switch connec-
lions were made. The American Rapid
Transit system was about all there was
of the Bankers & Merchants Company,
and the latter is left with very
slim line extending between this city
and Washington with few isolated
connections here and there. The remov-
al of the American Rapid Company's
property from the combination which has
been controlled by the Bankers & Mer-
chants leaves nothing but q shell, and
the probabilities are that the remaining
property will be sold out in the course
of few days at Sheriff's sale. The
United Press, which was the largest Gus
toner OF this telegraphic combination,
was informed by the Western Union, a
few minutes before the wires were re.
moved, that the Western Union system
would be placed at the disposition of the
association, and that everything would
be done to conduct its business in a
way while it is continued ON
Western Union wires.
