Charles Audzgah was the most influential
citizen in the Polish district of Jersey City,
until he got into a fight with another Pole,
and the two hnd a duel OF the street, result
ing in the shooting Of a little girl, who vas
standing in a hallway near by. He was
convicted of atrocious assault ana battery,
and was sentenced to one year in the peni-
Tertiary. During his trial his wife a very
pretty young woman, insisted on sitting by
his side, and showed her affection for him in
many ways. She believed that her husband
was defending herself when the shooting &C.
cured. When he was convicted, she thought
he would be fined and released. When Judge
Lippincott pronounced sentence on him,
tears came to her eyes and she broke down
completely. She was taken home in a car
rage. and was SO sick that it was thought
best to send her to St. Francis Hospital.
She died there, the physicians say, of a
broken heart.
A man supposed to be Tascott, the muir

has been captured in the northern part Of
Amherst county. Virginia. Thomas A. Watts,
a trustworthy citizen who lives in Amherst,
visited Lexington for the purpose of notify
ing the Chicago authorities that a man an
swering the description of Tascott had been
arrested o twenty-five miles from Lex
ington in the wild and sparsely settled por-
ton ofthe county. Watts has q full descrip-
ton of Tascott and q tintype ofthe prisoner,
and they agree exactly. The man under
arrest has been living around the neighbour
hood some time, working ut anything he
could get, and looks like a tramp. When,
by accident, Watts obtained a description Of
Tascott he got several mountain men to-
gether, and after a conference decided to
arrest the man, and he is now well guarded
at Atwood, an out of way postofice in the
county, Watts has sent q full description
and q tintype to Chicago. He is very conf

be produced when wanted.
