Andre. Monument Destroyed.

A second time has the Andre monu-
meut erected by Mr.. Cyrus Field come to
grief at the hands of dynamiters. is-r
crime, of course, that admits of no justi-
fication. and should its author or authors
be discovered they would merit the pen
atty affixed by the law to such offences.
Yet, Mr.. Cyrus Field hardly has a
right to outrage the patriotic sentiments
of the American people by erecting
monument to man who was identified
with the darkest chapter in American

Arnold. 1t may be true that Andre was

was disguised and was, in the strictest
military sense, q spy. He was the gobe
tween of Arnold and the British for the
betrayal Of West Point. He was caught,
tried, convicted and sentenced to death.
George Washington approved Of the SEN
tence, and he was accordingly hanged.
A hundred years later Cyrus Field, a man
who admires England not wisely but too
well, puts an indirect censure on Wash
ington by erecting monument to Andre
on the place where he was executed. 1t

Horse phxsIarnnnx.

A horses head indicates his character
very much as a man does. Vice is shown
in the eye and mouth; intelligence in the
eye and in the breadth between the ears
and between the eyes; spirit in the eye
and in the pose, in the mobile nostril, and
active ear. The size Of the eye, the thin
ness Of the skin, making the. face bony,
the large, open, thin-edged nostril, the
fine ear, and the thin, fine name and fore
top are indications of fine breeding and
accompany high.strung, nervous organic

cular power. insures considerable de-

lazy horse that drivers call "lunk head

A MURDER CONFESSED.
A HUSBANDS AWFUL CRIME.
After Hacking on His wife's Finger and
Cutting Her Throat With Razor
He Gets Drunk.

BUFFALO, November 5.-The murder
Of the young German woman, Eva Her
man, by her husband is regarded as one of
the most sensational crimes ever commit
ted in Buffalo. When Charles Herman was
arrested in bar-room last night, he was
half drunk and denied all knowledge of
the affair. To-day, however, he made
the following confession to the. superin-
tendent of police:
Last Sunday evening my wife and
were sitting in the parlor of our house in
Blossom ST. Isuppose was somewhat
under the influence Of liquor, but was
by no means drunk. About Z o'clock
Eva said that she was going out to spend
the evening. wanted to know where
she was going, but she refused TO tell me
and said it was none of my business
was jealous of her. though | had no
evidence against her, and had resolved in
the morning to kill her.
II told her she should not go out alone,
but she paid no attention, and went into
the bedroom, as supposed, to dress.
followed her and we had some further
words, which ended by my knocking her
down on the floor and taking out of my
pocket razor which had placed there
in the morning for the purpose of killing
| her.
"She struggled hard and could at
first do nothing but hack at her. One
hack cut off the end of finger on her
right hand, and another gashed her neck
under the right ear. At last got her
where could hold her and cut her throat
from ear to car. After she stopped
breathing Ipicked her up and laid her on
the bed, in doing which both my shirt
sleeves were covered with blood |
wiped up the blood on the carpet and
bed with her apron and threw it with the
razor under the bed.
"After washing the blood Off my hands
and clothes | went out to bar-room and
had several drinks. Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday nights | returned to the house
and slept on the bed upon which my
wife's body lay, but was half drunk all
the time and didn't seem to mind il any.
| remember that | slept beside her body
and that ii was cold, but thought she
was simply mad and wouldn't speak to
me. believe Eva was unfaithful to me,
but never had any proof of It, have
been bad husband to her and couldn't
blame her much il she did,"
!, Herman, though q young man, is
thoroughly hardened, and seems to care
little what happens to him or what pun
ishment is inflicted upon him for his
crime.

L. G. w. Butler, Of New Orleans, uses
the Times Democrat of that town to tell
the true story of General Andrew Jack
sons marriage. The vine that climed
about and embraced the cold Hickory"
was not of the poison-ivy sort, as Phila-
delphia paper recently asserted, but as
fine plant as ever crept heavenward.
Rachel Donelson (of pure white and gen.
tie blood, the daughter of Captain John
Donelson) was her name. Her father was
once a member of the Virginia House of
Burgesses but when Rachel was tiny
girl he migrated from the banks Of the
Banister, where she was born, to French
Lick, now Nashville. There she married
one Robards. She heard that the Vir-
ginia Legislature had granted her a di-
vorce from that drunken, worthless per-
son, and thereupon married Andrew Jack
son. But in the midst of the honeymoon
word came that the divorce had not yet
been granted, and the wife, lamenting
the harm scandal would do the cause
of her husband, then striding on toward
fames great goal. sank in spirit and so
died gricving.

Saving a Life.

One day last winter, 1894, when the
mercury was down somewhere in the
forties below, an open slcigh-stagc was
making its way along a mountain road
between two Montana towns. The only
passengers were a woman and her young
child. They were scantily clad for the
rigorous weather, and the woman remov-
ed one of her wraps to protect the child.
The driver disoerned that she was grow
ing drowsy, and warned her of the dead
ly peril Of falling asleep. 1t was of no
use, nor did the vigorous shaking he gave
her serve to keep her awake. Finally
the driver seized her, threw her out into
the road, and drove Off with the child at
rapid pace. This last expedient was
successful. Awakened by the shock of
the fall, the woman saw the stage disap.
pearing with her child. Her maternal
instincts were aroused She ran after
the stage as fast as she could; the driver
slackencd up little, but did not stop till
he saw that the aroused mother was
thoroughly warmed by the exercise. Hei
life was saved. An hour later the stage
reached station, where buffalo robe
were obtained to protect her against tn

Juan Vicente Palavicini was travelling
with his wife and child to his hacienda.
On the way bandit, Manuel Padron,

off the wife of Palavicini. A fight took
place between the two men, and Padron
was killed. After the farmer had left
his family at the hacienda he returned
towards the town of Tcapa to advise the
authorities Of what he had done. On
his return he was captured by brother

A LEAP FOR LIFE.

A Depot Agents Thrilling Adventure on

Mr.. Wallace Truslow, the young depot
agent and telegraph operator at Cranberry
had q thrilling adventure and narr ow
escape from death, last Friday morning,
between Elk Park and Cranberry, on the
Z. T. &W. N. G. r. r. Mr.. Truslow
spends the night at Elk Park, coming
from Cranberry in the evening and re-
turning the next morning on railroad
velocipede. On the morning in question,
for some reason, he was not expecting n
train, and mounting his velocipede start
ed to Cranberry. He had gone perhaps
200 yards, and had gotten in the middle
of trestle 40 feet high, when suddenly
and unexpectedly the down train thun-
dercd around sharp curve seventy
yards In front of him. The speed with
which the train and the velocipede were
approaching each other made It impossi-
BILE to prevent collision. and TO leap to
the ground below would probably be
death. Taking in the situations at q glance
and without moments hesitation, he
put forth every energy of mind and mus.
Gle to speed the velocipede faster toward
the oncoming train. BY the time the
pilot of the engine was within few feet
of him he was nearly across the trestle,
and then just as the locomotive and the
velocipede rushed together, he made a
gallant leap, cleared the track, and went
down to the ground twenty feet below,
saving himself almost miracuously. No
bones were broken and with the exception
Of the terrible jar he received, he is not
otherwise injured. johnson CITY Comet,
