A MURDERED MANS ESTATE.
The Proof Upon Which Two Cincinnati
Women Claim j. LyOns's Property.
Affidavits by Two Persons Tending to Show
that He Deserted Wife and Child
Many Years Ago.

The particulars of the killing of John A. Lyons
by Samuel Marley. on Washington street, just
west of the river bridge last May are still fresh
in the minds of the people. Lyons was com
mission merchant who had been doing business
in Indianapolis several years, and had accumu-
lated fortune Of nearly $4,000 Here he had
always passed as bachelor, and there was great
surprise when, shortly after his death, lady
with grown daughter came from Cincinnati,
and claimed Lyons as her husband and to be the
rightful heir to the estate. Her claim
was pronounced fraudulent by the rela-
tives of Lyons, and she entered suit
for the possession of the estate, and employed
?. w. Bartholomew as her attorney Mr. Bar
tholomew at once set about gathering evidence
to substantiate her claim to the estate, and has
at last secured dispositions showing that she was
his lawful wife, the young lady his child and
that they entitled to the whole estate.
Philas Bender, of Cincinnati, says in his deposit
ton that in 1866 he was priest in Cincinnati
and that John A. Lyons and Ellen Quinn were
members of his parish They became engaged
to be married, and in March. 1866. he &C
companied them to ST. Louis, where the
mony was performed in a cathedral in that city,
March 6, 1876, and was recorded in the proper
records. Mr.. and Mrs. Lyons to his knowledge,
lived in st. Louis several months, where he
worked at his trade as timer
From st. Louis he went to SheIblna, Mo, In
September, and Mrs P. Eskridge, of Excelsior,
Mo-. makes affidavit that she was at that time
keeping boarding house in Shelbina and that
Mr.. and Mrs. Lyons came TO her house and en-
gagged board Mr. Lyons secured work in tin
shop, and they seemed to be living happily.
In November, while they were still
at her house. female child was
born, and named Anna May.
When the child was two weeks old, Lyons left
his wife without telling her where he going.
He left her enough money to pay two weeks
board. After an absence of three weeks his
Young wife received letter from him at st.
Louis. saying that he intended to never return.
and that she must look out for herself. When
she received the news. Mrs. Lyons broke down,
and was severely Ill for couple of weeks.
When she was able TO travel, Mrs. Eskrdge re-
funded her board money and sent her aud the
child to Cincinnati, and had letter from
them in few days announcing their
safe arrival. Both Mr.. Bender and
Mrs. Eskridge. in their dispositions,
testify as to the worth of Mrs. Lyons She has
resided in Cincinnati ever since the desertion,
and the then baby has grown into lovely
woman. She heard nothing of her husband I'M
til after he had been killed by Marley, but his
history led her to believe that he was her hus-
band.

A Reporters Last SCOOP"

From the 50. Paul Pioneer Press.
It is not many years ago that Tony B., the
attache OF Central Iowa paper, now de-
fnnct. rode out from a Southern Iowa city
one fine morning, perched darIngly on the
brake of fiat car that was attached to q
wild freight and loaded with iron rails.
he was, ike other reporters, made up of vice
and virtues-only the first seen by the world ,
the latter best known to his intimate friends
he had been In newspaper work for about six
years. was thoroughly capable, and scored
against him. This, in tho eyes of the city
editor, insured his entrance into paradise.
To make the story short, forty miles out
from its starting point the "wild" freight
with leap OF madness and a terrible crash,
went through bridge, down sixty feet, and
Tony sitting on the break beam. It was over
IN an instant. Such things don't wait for
time to catch up with them. When the con-
ductor OF the train the only one uninjured)
crawled out OF the wreck hts eyes fell first on
Tony, lying across the side of dismantled
box car. on his chest heavy rail, his legs
crushed, and dying, Beyond him lay dead
brakeman; the engineer was buried under
his machine, and by large boulder was the
fireman with broken back. Tony was con-
scious, and when the conductor reached him
asked for paper and pencil. They were found
IN his pockets. Unable to write himself, he
dictated this. angriIy ordering the men who
had come up TO let HIM alone:
&c E, Managing Editor Star, -,
Iowa: Train through bridge at -. was on
board and am hurt. Will send full particu-
lars at once. T. 3D."
A farmer was secured. who carried it TO
the nearest station. Then this boy, true t.
his duty. and not fiinching before death, suf-
fering frightful agony. and while willing
hands sought in vain to release him from his
position. dictated a especial" of 1900 words to
his paper. What he suffered no one can ever
know. 1t was with difficulty that he could
breathe, and every gasp cost him wrench OF
agony. But he held death back down TO the
last few lines, THE killed were -, ;" and so
on. ending with the name of 'Tony b. re-
porter" AS he ended that his ewes filed with
tears, and he looked up wistfully to the con-
ductor, who had written the telegraph for
him, and who himself could not keep his tears
back. Tell my mother" said Tony, "that
did my duty; and, boys, rush that over the
wires for me. It's q coop" 1t went over
the wires all right. and 1t was ''scoop;" but,
before it was printed. Tony was dead.

Georgia,s Splendid Credit.

The journals of the country not under
the influence of the schemers who are
trying to injure the credit OF our State
are pretty unanimous in their condemna-
ton of the boycotting tactics. They are
also unanimous in the belief that the con-
spirators Will fail OF accomplishing their
Interior objects, whatever they are.
While on this subject, the st. Louis Re-
publican saws: 1.-THE gravest OF all Of
lenses in the eyes of the New York Stock
Exchange Is refusal to pay an alleged
dept. even though it be fraudulent debt.
The SS,0o0.000 bonds which the people
of Georgia repudiated, or rather dis
owned, were not a debt OF their making.
They had nothing to do with them. They
were bonds conceived and issued in fraud
by the carpet-bagger State government
violently imposed on the people by the
administration at Washington. They
were called railroad aid bonds, but no
railroad was built with them; the greater
number OF them were simply divided
round between the parties who issued
them and their friends, with nothing
in the State to show for them.
When the carpet-baggers were over
thrown, and the people came into con-
troll of their State, they disowned the
transaction and declared themselves not
responsible for the fraudulent bonds.
This Is the whole case in brief, and it has
not impaired the general confidence in
the honesty OF the people OF Georgia in
any degree. Even the money lenders OF
New York are giving los for Az per cent.
Georgia bonds-a fact which shows that
the State will be able TO borrow all the
money it NAV iced at a low rate OF in
terest In spite of the New York Stock
Exchange"
