President Cleveland is having a hard time just
now with some of the extreme elements of his
party. Next after the declaration of Missis-
sippi newspaper that hisdemand for the resigna-

comes the following from DIR. Garnett of this

Why Thomas Mcdowell Was Given Twenty
One Years in the Penitentiary.
Special to the Indianapolis Journai.
'VINoENNEs. June 18-Thomas Mcdowell was
on trial for his life in the Wabash Circuit Court
at Mount Carmel, south of this city, this week,
for the murder of his young wife by his brutal
ty. The history Of the case is as follows: Nc
Dowell and his wife lived in an old cabin in the
defunct town of Logan, some eight nine miles
south of Mount Carmel. He was day laborer
and they We're in very INDECENT circumstances
She was small, delicate girl, but seventeen
years DID, weighing less than one
hundred pounds. He was brawny
young, broad -shouldered Irshman, at times
gentle and kind but demon when drunk
They did not live happily, at least all the time.
A family jar took place on the 18th of November
last, and in retreating from her frenzied hus-
band Mrs. Mcdowell ran and took refuge in a
deep ditch or drain that ran in front of the
house. The husband followed her, and at least
one witness saw him kicking and beating her
while in the ditch, while others heard her
screaming. Soon after this the girl-wife was
taken seriously i'll. A physical was
not called for some two weeks When
he was called, and saw the patient, she was
apparently suffering from the effects of violent
treatment She was bruised and manned, and
doscess had formed in the right hip. Not
withstanding skllful medical treatment, she died
on the 10Th of January. Mcdowell was then ar
rested for the murder and tried, and to-day the
jury sentenced him to twenty one years in the
penitentiary.

PROFESSOR LYoN's ScHooL.-The
Editor of the Freeman was in

this to say concerning Broaddus
College: Although hardly in accord
with strict Seminary rules, yet a
pressing invitation from Professor
and Mrs. Lyon, and accompanied by
such a proper and staid Reverend
as Bro. L. E. Peters, we felt safe in
calling at Broaddus College, even at
so late an hour and it certainly
proved a most happy place to await
midnight train. We wish all the
Freeman readers who have daugh-
tiers or sisters longing for an educa-
ton, could have enjoyed that even
ing with us, and caught the inspira-
ton of Homes refined surroundings
such as Broaddus College breathes
under its present regime Profess
sors, teachers and pupils, all go to
make up one happy, model family,
going to school with itself. 1t is
not strange that the well arranged
and thoroughly furnished building
is now more than crowded with West
Virginia's girls, good and true, who
ought to be in just such an excellent
school.

but conld do nothing. The little
fellow was knocked down and tram
Piled upon, fracturing his skull and
penetrating the brain. Drs. Brock

dangerous and the indications are
that he cannot possibly recover.
