MOST HORRIBLE MURDER
A BRIDE OF TWO MONTHS SHOT
WHILE ASLEEP
BY Unknown Parties-A Terrible
Scene-Cther Crimes and
Casualties.

Houston, Mo-, October l9.-The
NEST mysterious end disbolicsl crime
ever perpstrsied in Southern N ssouri
was committed ON Big Creek Six miles
east of this city last Friday morning.
On that morning at o'clock Mrs.
Ella Williams, the bride of Role Will
lisms, was yiug asleep by the eide of
her husband when some unknown
person entered the bedroom, place d a
pistol against her forehead and sent
bullet through her brain. The rtpors
OF The revolver awakened Williams
but he had been i'll for SON time and
wss unable to pursue the murderer
Two men sleeping in an adjoining
room were ALTO awakened end they
imme diately went 10 the room after
procuring a light. AS they entered
the room most revolving sight met
their eyes. The young bride lay nc
tionltsi on the bed, hood stream
ing from her forehead and her
brains p'otruding fom the wound.
The bullet had entered just above the
right eye, and that organ had been
forced from its &c cket and wss hang
irg by chord upon her cheek. The
men Immediately msde search for the
mu'derer, but could find no trace of
him, and he is still at large. No posi-
BILE motive can be assigned for TIE
deed, except that some disappointed
former lover of the bride took this
means Of revenge. Mrs. Williams, be-
fore her marriage, was the belle OF the
county end bore an irreproschable
character. The couple, who were

Reiterated and Brutal AspersiOns
of the Blind Preacher.

To Rev. Dr.. W. IL. Milburn:
SlR-During visit to New York
from which / have on'y recently re-
turned, read with grief and indigua-
tion The report given by the Nashville
american, of September 17th, of your
address ON the life and character Of
my husband-an address the con-
GLIDING portion of which l consider
the very worst OF all the calumDie s
ever circulated against him, for it is
expires; ed in terms 30 guarded aud so
veiled as to admit Of any construction,
however vile, and Is rendered doubly
effective by your position as a min
ister Of tbe gospel and man of great
intellectual gifts.
Ita1 hardly hope to induce you to
make any rep arstion for the injury
done 10 my husband, of whose private
life you evidently know nothing, and
wieh to know nothing, since you have
been 80 little il huenced by the repre-
sentations of his brother, the Rev.
Geo. L Prentiss, of New York, and
his brothe,-in-law, the Raw. Jonathan
S. StearDs, of New jersey, who called
you to account many years sgo for
your denunciations of him. You
have learned to be more prudent, to
avoid direct accusations, and that is
all
II, therefore, now address you, it
is because feel that l have not long
to live, and l wish before die to bear
witness to the character of my hus-
band, which | 10 not hesitate to pro.
nounce the noblest and pufest l have
ever known. Permit ma to ststs to
you that he was utterly devoid of self
ambition, living only t. serve his
country and his fellowmep, and desir-
ing to be remembered only by thoss
he loved; thai his fortune was lost by
the decision OF the Supreme Court of
the United States involving his title
to the Vicksburg COMMONS; that he
died of a disesse inherited from his
father, and that his death was hast.
tened by the fatigue and exposure OF
the Presidential canvass of 1S4S, aud
by overwo1k in his efforts tn extticate
himself from his financial difficulties.
You have yourself represented me
as one whose word should be consid
cred worthy OF belief, and l now call
upon you to retrsct your calumnies
against my hu band, or at least never
to repeal Them without also repeat ng
this testimony in his favor.

AN ANCIENT BALLAD.
Ew ORLEANS. October 6, 1886.

John TomlinsoL, of Kansas,
By all the stars he swore
That man should roam or wander
About his farm no more.
By all the stars he sought,
For long upon his farm
The hunting men had rambled
And wrought him mighty harm.
And then sign he posted,
Which people all did warn,
That he would send to prison
Such men as tramped his corn;
Now, by Osiris" said he,
And by the beard of Cain,
Well see If all these huntsmen
Shall roam my farm again."
One day he found hunter
Asleep upon the ground,
His gun and ammunition
Were lying all around;
An d Tomlinson. of Kansas,
Grabbed up the hunters gun;
He found it primed anu loaded,
Then woke the sleeping one.
And when the hunter wakeued
And scrambled to his feet,
The farmer aimed and cried, "Now KnaVe,
Thy power thou shalt eatl"
In vain his tears and pleadings,
For Tomlinson was frD,
And 10 ! the hunter chewed away
With many gronn and squirm.
ana Wnlle ne mOaneu ana muLJereu
The farmer did but laugh,
And when pound was gone cried,
Nov, have eaten half;
If eat more I'll surely die.
Now let me say it's done,
Ard will stay clear ofthy farm,
And thou give me the gun"
John Tomlinson, of Kansas,
A mighty laugh laughed he,
snow, here's thy gum" he smiling cried
slow does Thy food agree"
The hunter took the weapon
and to his shoulder pressed.
"NOw, farmer" quoted he, "by the rood
Thou 1t have to eat the rest.
John Tomlinson, of Kansas,
A doughty man was he.
Yet sore his heart, as he knelt down
Upon his warlike knee,
And ate the huntsman's powder,
A half pound or more.
And thus he Kept bis knightly word
And kept the oath he swore.
