MURDERED By A MANIAC.
A PROMINENT REPUBLICAN POL.
ITICIAN AND EDITOR
or 1t. Joseph, No., Shot and Instantly
Killed Without a Word Of
Warning.

ST. JOSEPH, No, June lS.-At
IL o'clock this morning, as Col.
]. A. S.roug, manager of the
Herald, was sitting in the count
irg-room with his back 10 the door,
DR.. S. A. Richmond entered, and,
drawing a revolver, fred one shot,
which struck his victim in the left
side of the neck. Col. Strong Jumped
up and staggered toward the back of
the office. Richmond fired two more
shots aud Strong fell. Richmond then
turned outside, and, going some tive H.
/ ty feet from the door, placed the re-
vOlver to his temple and fred, and
dropp d instantly TO the sideSalk At
the time of thu shooting Col. Strong
was engaged 10 conversation with
some uDknown man and YVES totally
unconscious OF the approach OF an en-
envy until be wa struck by the bullet.
Richmond drove up to the front OF the
Office in his carriage. He is said 10
have alighted coolly and walked to
the Herald Office door without exhibit
ing any signs of excitement. When
he came back, after shooting Col
| Strong, he found The carriage had
been driven away, and it was then
that
HE SHOT HIMSELF.
Col. Strong fell, struck by two bull
lfts, one Of when, ss stated, struck
him in the neck, ranging upward into
the brain. The other struck in his
back, and is believed to have pene-
trated mis- heart. He died five min
utes after the first shot was fir; d.
Richmond's bullet took tflec. in the
left temple, and rs yet Il is impC So BILE
to tell whether il will Prove fatal or
not. 1t is believed, however, that he
will not recover. The trouble which
has esulted so fatally is solely OF
Richmond's own making. He has
long been known to the newspaper
fraternity rs the di coverer and man
ufacturer Of Samaritan Neryine, and
has been an extensive advertiser aud
has had an enormous business in
his nostIum. Some five months
ago he disappeared from this
community and left lot Of
papers, evidently the work of either
AKNAvE OR HOPELESS LUNATIC.
He charged Col. Strong and other |
prominent attorneys of this city with
having ruined him, and indicated that !
he had ended his career in the river.
At that time opinions differed ss to his
condition, some regarding him insane !
and others believing him simply work.
ing ruse to obtain $500 insurance
on his life. Since then he had become |
hopelessly insane, the deed of to-day |
proving his lunacy beyond doubt. |
Col. S rong leaves large family, con-
sistiDg of wife, three sons, the eldest |
of whom is John p. Strong, editor-in-
chief of the Herald. The Colonel was
sixty-one years old, lawyer by pro-
fession, and man who has been very
prominent in the Republican party Of |
North west NJ ssouri for nearly thirty |
years. His home was originally in |
Jacksonville, III where he has large |
number of friends and relstive'.

Special to the Globe.
VNcENSEs. Ind, Feb. 27.-Elijah r.
Hedges. gay and festive Lothario, and
his alleged wife, who recently came to this
section of country from Kentucky. are now
playing checkers with their noses behind
the bars of the Pike county Jail. In the
latter part of November, 1855, Elijah X.
Hedges left his home in Franklin county,
Kentucky. To visit relatives in Indiana.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Hedges,
wife OF James Hedges and cousin of Elijah,
so it is said. whom he introduced to
relatives in Vincennes, where he first
visited, as his wife. He also told his reIa-
tives here that he was James Hedges. Ger
tain persons, however, knew him and also
his wife, and when they saw the woman
they asked in astOnishment if he did not
marry Miss He replied that he
did. but that she had died, and he remar-
ried two years later. He evaded the
inquiry very adrOitly. but when his Tela-
tiveS wrote to Kentucky stating that
James Hedges and wife had visited them,
and their sOjOuTn here was very much en-
jOyed. the OdOr of a very large sized rat
was peTceptible to Elijah's real wife, whom
he had deserted. Information was subse-
quently received here that twas not JGmes.

eXerted themselves To entertain, and inquiry
was made of his movements On Nov. 2S
Elijah Il. Hedges and his pretended wife
went TO Pike county to visit relatives. His

was informed of the fact and was led to
write concerning her absent husband She
learned that he was enjoying the hOspi-
tality of relatives there, and that the wO-
man with him was receiving the greatest
attention as his wife. HedRs' relatives i'm
Pike county had never seen his wife, and of
course the peOple were treated with proper
respect. Their stay had been prolonged
from day TO day, and they were fairly in
the midst of unspeakable joy and happi-
ness. until the appearance on last Thursday
of Mrs. Elijah r. Hedges the aDandonedwife
She was accompanied by her son, little
boy. who is said to be the living image of
his father. Mrs. Hedges Immediately filed
a complaint against the happy couple,
charging them with adultery. The recreant
husband and fOrSaken wife having thus
been brought face TO face, Hedges con-
fesSed his guilt, and was afterwards taken
10 the county Jail. in company with his
paTamOur, who remained close by his side.
His wife and child having accom-
plished the object of their mis-
sion, returned the following day
10 relatives in Dubois county. Hedges
is stoutly-built. gOOd-lOOking fellow,
about so years of age, and is said to be the
owner Of considerable property in Ken
lucky. He always bore good reputation
until he became involved in his present
difficulty. The woman in the tolls is said
to be Carrie Hedges. prepOssessing blonde.
several years younger than her amOrOus
lover. 1t is reported that she has deserted
a husband and child. while Elijah Hedges
abandoned wife and five children. The
imprisoned couple are patiently awaiting
their release or their conviction.

RevivIng the Dixie Affair.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The statement hav-
ing been made recently by a friend of Sir
Charles Dixie that the latter had been dis
suaded by Chamberlain from entering as a
witness in the Crawford divorce case,
Stead. in the Pail Mall Gazette. demanded
of Chamberlain whether the statement was
true. Chamberlain in reply referred to the
violent attacks upon himself in the Pail
Mall Gazette and the attempt of Stead. as
he alleged, to blaeken the character OF Sir
Charles Dixie, and declined to add to the
sensation already created by that paper.
Stead retorts that he attacked Chamberlain
because the latter subOrdinated public to
personal interests and sacrificed Sir Charles
Dixie to personal feeling, adding: Cham
berlain has viewed his (Steads) motives
through the distorting medium of inordinate
egOtism
