BRUTAL TREATMENT

OF a Horse by Young Man, Which 2e'
suits In Its Death.
Sunday stlernoon young man named
Dick Freese went to James Rine's livery
stable and hired horse and Buggy for the
afternoon, and took young lady out the
pike. His cruelty to the horse caused the
girl to remonstFsss with him, but he did not
heed her sdmonitions and treated the horse
in q shameful manner, driving it in wild
gsllop. When the horse had reached the
stable after four hours of such treatment,
it gas almost exhausted and shortly after
wards blood spurted from its nosrils and
it became unable to stand. Everything
Was done to save it bet without avail, and
the poor beast expired Sunday night.
Yesterday Mr. Rine entered complaint
against Freese before Justice Ankle, but
he had not been arrested last night, on sc.
count of the officers being unsble to find
him.

BY THE ARSENIC ROUTE.
A Martins Ferry Woman Tires Of
Life,
And Attempts to End Her Earthly Career
With Poison--The Cause
of the Crime.

George schrimpf, Of Martins Ferry, has
been abusing his wife again, and this
time, according to her statement and &C
lions, she concluded that she would
rather be dead than longer abide with the
man who makes her life so miserable.
Yesterday the woman went to q drug
store in Martins Ferry and purchased o
very large dose Of arsenic and signed q
paper certifying that it was to be used to
exterminate rats and other vermin. About
four o'clock terrible excitement was
raised in the neighborhood Of her dwelling
in seabright's addition, by the report that
Mrs. Schrimpt had poisoned herself. In
few minutes the house and
streets near BY were filled with
an excited crowd of neighbors. A few
minutes later her husband arrived, aud
Constable Welch, attracted by the excite
ment, repaired to the house. Here the
woman was found lying on the bed, with
the EeuAluutE Ol LUG dfscuiS Oh O Saoh hSeA
BY. An old lady who was in the house ct
the time, said Mrs Schrimpf had taken
about half the arsenic in the palm OF her
hand and putting it in her mouth swsl'
lowed it. The old lady snstched the re-
msinder from her and laid it on the chair,
where it remained. The constable asked the
poisoned woman what she had taken, and
she answered arsenic. In answer to an in
auiry as to the reason why she had done
the foolish act she replied that Schrimpt
had been abusing her. The constable
asked if she wanted Scrimpt taken away
and she answered that if he would attend
to his own business he would have enough
to do.
DR.. W. C. Hervey was called and upon
examining the patient concluded that
death need not necessarily result from the
dose taken, although quite large amount
had been svallo we'd. Schrimpt ia the man
who was arrested and fined $50 few
months ago for abusing his wife. Later,
George Mentz had him up for making q
a murderous assault upon him while work.

settled although Schrimpf was discharged
from feelings employ.
At last accounts Mrs Schrimpf was do
ing as well as could be expected.

1.sr NIGHTS CONCERT.
The Affair a Musical and Financis
SucceaH,

The Affair a Musical and Financial
II would have been q difficult matter
last evening to have found genuine lover
of music outside the walls of the Opera
House. Down stairs every chair was
taken, and quite number of gentlemen
we're compelled to stand, while in the gal.
lery about hail the seats we're occupied.
The gathering was q cultured one, and
from the beginning to the end Of the long
programme it gave the musicians On the
stage undivided attention, bestoWing
also from time to time hearty applause.
OF The seven orchestral numbers render
ed: the ore meritipg the most praise was
Kings fantasia, "Fete Day in the Csthe.
dral." The Interpretation of this delightful
work SURPASSED the usual efforts OF small
orchestrss, and in the nicely of phrasing
and delicacY of expression approached per-
lection. Prof. Vsas and the musicians
who were guided by his baton are to be
congratulated on the magnificent result
attained in il, when,it is remembered that
but one or two rehearsals by the Pittsburgh
snd.Wheehng men together were possible.
The gem Of the evening, as tar as in
enumeration is concerned, however, was
the string qusrtette by Nehl. This com
position embraces many poetic ideas, del
| icateIy and beautifully wrought out, and
toll Justice was done it by the musicians
to whose lot it fell. The cello part was
especially effective, and the whole rendi'
ton satiI factory in the extreme.
Prof. Arben's piano solo, "Capriccic
Brilliant" by Mendelssohn, with orches-
tral accompaniment, WAS listened to with
delight, aud at the end OF the number tht
soloist was the recipient of some besuti
ful flowers by an admiriug friend
Miss Flora Williams never appeared tt
better advantage than in the two solos
falling to her lot on the programme. Hel
appearance on the stage preparatory L
singing Donizetti's 20 luce di quest ami
ms" was the signal for round Of applause
and when the number was concluded and
the prima donna of the evening had beer
presented with magnificent boquet o
roses, the hall fairly shook with the plsud
it's of those present. Twice was sh'
recalled before the audience would 80 fal
subside as to allow the programme to b,
proceeded with. The scsne before AND
after her second solo, AEditi's we'll kr owl
"Kiss" waltz, was but q repetition Of the
reception accorded her in the first part o.
the concert, and when she had retired tn
audience kept up the applause for severa
moments. Miss Williams is to be congrat
ulated upon this latest addition to TIT
laurels heretofore won BIZ her.
Mr.. II. B. Grimm's clarinet solo, "a
Dream, BY Basrmann, was enthusiastic
ally received. a
