HAMPTON, Va, July 22.-Rum, women
and song is the explanation of a murder
which has just come to light here. A few
days age the body of Henry Brooks was
found floating in the river near here. There
was just the slightest bruise OH his fore
head, not enough to have killed. though it
might have stunned him. Under the
theory that he had wandered in a convivial
mood into the water and been drowned no
farther attention was paid to the matter by
the officers and he was buried. He was a
popular young man despite his dissipation.
The day after his burial, however, the fact
leaked out that Miss Lydia Creecy. cousin
of Brooks wife, had been seen coming
from the water on the very night he had
disappeared, and she was
DRENCHED FROM HEAD TO FOOT.
She told girl friend in confidence that
she had slipped from the wharf into the
water. AS Miss Creecy had been seen in
company with Brooks that morning, and as
he had, despite the fact that he was mar
ried, been paying her such devoted atten-
ton as to cause whisper of scandal. a de-
tective visited Miss Creecy. She became
frightened and confessed that Brooks
death was not accidental. She said he had
been paying her devoted attention. and on
the night of his death he proposed that they
should sit In a small boat tied near the
wharf. To this she agreed, and while
they were basking in the moonlight Mr.
George Causey suddenly came upon
them. Causey grutfly asked Brooks
what he was doing in that boat
with Miss Creecy and Brooks flushed with
drink, replied that he had as much right to
be with her as Causey had. Causey then
pulled the boat by the rope to the wharf
and jumped in. Brooks rose to his feet
Causey struck him heavy blow on the
head and Brooks fell senseless overheard
and sank. In falling he caused the boat to
capsize and Causey and Miss Creepy went
into the water, from which Causey man
aged to rescue her. The girl in her terror
and remorse. confessed that she had been
intimate with Causey, and that he was in
sanely jealous of other men. He came to
Hampton as soon as he heard she was re-

FOREBODINGS OF EVIL.

An Irish Organ Looks to the Future
with Doubt--The Dixie Scandal.
DUBLIN, July 22.-United Ireland, Mr..
Parnelrs organ, commenting on the politi-
cal situation, says:
The Marquis of Salisbury will be compelled,
ere long, to produce his manacles. During
the past year the Irish people have submitted
to the bitterest privations and extortions pa
tiently. The judicial rents are becoming
daily more impossible for the ten
antry to pay and more unbear-
able. 1t is absolutely hopeless to expect
any redress from an English parliament. 1t
is not in human nature for the Irish tenantry
to longer refrain from helping themselves.
Landlords will fight for their rents with fire,
sword or crowbar, thus obliging Lord Sails
bury to pray parliament to assist the land
lords by some new-fangled coercion act. Then
will come the tug of war; The paper also
urges the Irish people to combine and tender
the Earl of Aberdeen a grand ovation on the
occasion of his departure from the country
as lord lieutenant. The Freeman's Journal
proposes that the people of Ireland collect a
fund by shilling subscriptions to erect a
statue on College green, in the city of Dublin,
to Mr.. Gladstone.
