Shot and Hanged, but Still Alive.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan A.-Three years ago Joe Reed (colore0 was beating his wife when Officer Frazier undertook to arrest him. Reed shot and killed the officer. That same night mob took Reed from the jail, fired a bullet into his head, and swung him from a rope over the suspension bridge. The rope either broke or was cut, and Reed fell into the river. Duncan R. Doris, a journalist, has now put together ample evidence to show that Reed survived both the bullet wound, the hanging and the fall, swan ashore, was at tended by local physician, and was subse quently smuggled away.

WASHED UP BY THE SEA /!
THE PlTIFUL STORY OF MRS.
 FRANK MAUGER.
Drink. Degradation and Suicide-A Lady of Education and Good Connection, in Fit of Desperation, Ends a Life That Was Full of Romance.

Was Full of Romance.
 SEATTLE, W. T., Jan 24-A few days ago, near the coal wharf, was discovered the body of woman lying face down on the beach by the side of drifting log. She had evidently been washed in there by the wind and waves. The chief of police was notified and steps taken at once to identify the woman. Among the first to recognize her was a runner for a hotel, who said her name was Mrs F. Mau- ger. She arrived here from Tacoma on Dec. 9 and went up to the house, where she took a room and remained all night. She was under the influence of liquor and asked him to go out and find her husband, who, she said, was employed at one of the restaurants.
 She soon left the hotel, and was not again seen When her husband was found and in- formed of the discovery he seemed deeply af- fected, and said he had been looking for her for some weeks. He last saw her in Tacoma where they were both working in the Willard house, she chambermaid and he as cook She went on spree, and he left her and came to Seattle, expecting her to follow as soon as she sobered up. It is gesarally supposed that in a drunken sth,f desperation and disap- pointment ao not meeting her husband on her arrival here she walked down on the wharf and jumped overheard.
 The deceased was rather a good looking brunette about 40 years of age, and had had a most remarkable career. She belonged to a highly respectable family, and when quite young became the wife of Chauncey P. Van schaack, at one time among the most pron1i- nent and best known merchants of San Fran cisco She bore him two daughters, who are now accomplished young ladies' While living with her first husband she contracted the habit of drinking, and the habit finally led to a separation. From that time on she went from bad to worse, and in 1879 married gambler in San Francisco, named George Chapman. For some time they lived together and finally drifted to the sound. She first met Frank Mauger in 1885. She was tired of Chapman, and finally agreed to run away with Mauger, which she did soon after ward. Mauger, who seemed to think great deal of her, stood the disgrace as long as he could, and finally, in October ran away from her at Los Angeles, writing her an affection ate letter and leaving $2OO for her in the bank They met again at Tacoma, but she again took to drink, and another separation ensued She followed him, and the result is given above.
 MT. Mauger says his wife was highly edu- cated, and was the daughter of M Adams, of New York, and that she claimed to be a sister-in-law of Judge A. J. Vanderpool, of No 1 West Sixteenth street, New York, and also of W. H. Evart, a prosperous hardware merchant, of Chicago. When sober she was one of the most amiable women, but when drinking there was no living with her. Her maiden name was Kate Theresa Adams

When he pronounced sentence upon Mir. Blunt, he says, he confidently expected, as he had a right to expect, that the prisoner would be treated as first class misdemean- ant and not as felon. Having in view the intent of the sentence, the recorder declares that he will personally do everything in his power to obtain for MT. Blunt change of treatment, to the end of making his punish ment commensurate to the character and grade of his offense.

THE ELASTIC CRIMES ACT.
STRETCHING ITS PROVISIONS FROM
 IRELAND TO ENGLAND.

Commoner Cox Arrested in London by a
 Scotland Yard Detective and Taken to
 Dublir-No Safety for IrisI, Agitators
 in England.
 LONDON, Jan. 24-While Mir. Joseph R. Cox, member for East Clare, was in the act of entering the Golden Gross hotel, in West Strand, yesterday afternoon, in company with Mr. John Deasy, member for West Mayo, he was approached by Scotland Yard detective and taken into custody. He was at once conveyed to Scotland Yard and was taken to Dublin last night. At Scotland Yard Mir. Cox said he had had no intention of eluding arrest, but, on the contrary, was intending to return to Ireland and submitting to arrest, first concluding the business that was keeping him in London.
 This startling departure from the lines of the coercion act, which it was supposed applied only to Ireland, has created consider able excitement generally, and much con- sternation among the few Home Rulers who have really left Ireland in order to avoid arrest. The only clause in the original draft of the coercion bill providing for the opera tion or jurisdiction of tie act in England was killed i'll committee, and it is asserted, even by Conservatives, that the arrest of MT. Cox in London is an enormous stretch of the powers authorized by the law Precisely on what ground the government will defend it's action in this matter is beyond conjecture, but the obvious illegality of MT. Cox's arrest can afford Mir. Dillon and others who have sought safety in England little or no consola- jon, seeing that the government has estab- lished for itself a precedent for arresting offenders against its construction of the coercion act, wherever they may be found, and unless MT. Dillon should succeed in escap- ing to foreign country, it is altogether likely that he will be arrested before the end of the week.

Wanamaker & Brown
State and AdamS-Sts,

the singing of ''The Golden Gates per-
sons sobbed audibly in all parts of the
congregation. The class meetings were
very interesting, and the Sabbath school
especially so. The evening services
were largely attended the seats being
filed to the door. The evening was de-
voted to a historical review of St.
James church. Mrs. Addie Henry read
the first paper which beginning with
the passionate of Mr.. Wise in 1872 re-
counted interesting items of history
down to the advent of Rev. Knight in
1882. Mr.. Wallace King then rendered
a solo, "Come unto Me and I will give
you rest" the words and music of which
we will never forget. Mr.. King is too
well known as tenor singer to need
comment, and if visibly affected audi
ence is tribute to a singers power, Mr..
Hinge an rest assured he did not sing in
vain. The next paper, "Recollections
concerning by-gone days." by Mrs.
James Banister, was excellently read
by her daughter, Miss Ella Smith, and
among other matters referred to an
occasion when Mrs. William Liggins is
said to have made six dollars from a
single can of oysters during a festival
given years ago for the church.
The next paper, Remembrance
since 1882" by Mrs. G. B. Lazzenbery,
was most excellently read and full Of
interest, after this, Mr. T, H. Lyles and
Mr.. D. Hardin entertained the con-
gregation with short addresses concern
ing those early days. The choir
rendered excellent music at intervals
between the papers.
The presence of Mr.. King. seemed to
have aroused all the youthful fires in
Prof. J. w. Lucca whose deep tones
rang out full and clear as we imagine
they used to in the days when the
''Lucca Family" swayed America with
their matchless power of song.
Miss Bertha Heathcock rendered ex-
cellent assistance, the choir will COM
pare very favorably with any of those
in Chicago and other large cities, and in
some. respects is undoubtedly in the
lead.
Tomorrow, it is said, will be day Of
unusual interest.

The Concert and Ball,

The immense crowd that attended the
concert and May ball given by chemical
engine company No. at Market hall on
the 18th testified the esteem in which
the company is held by the people. 1t
was certainly the largest crowd:that any
organization has ever drawn in the city.
The programme which consisted of sew
enteen numbers was carried out almost
to the letter and was one of the finest
entertaining programmes ever present
ed here. The performers all did their
parts to..perfection and their efforts were
we'll received by the large audience,
The performers were Mesdames Katie
Mason Smith, Booker Smith and Miss
Bertha Heathcock, soloists; Messrs. J..
w. Luca and G. A. Mason, vocalists;
Prof. Sherry, Libby, johnson. Peters
Morton, Feller and Master Ralph Smith,
banjoists; William Nichols, guitarist;
the Star Caliope Quartette, Farrell, Ter
rell, Singleton and Brown; the Fire
mans Quartette, Finley, Huck, Holmes
and Chur; 'Saenger, harp; Siewert,
either; Prof. R. T. Brown and Miss Luz
lu Griswold, pianists: J. J. Chur and
Billie Farrell, specialties. The success
of the affair is due in a large measure to
the indefatigible efforts Of Capt. W. G..
Hawkins. A pleasant feature Of the ev-
ening was the drill by the company I'M
der the command of J. j. Chur at the
end ofWhich Mr.. j. @. Adams with a
short speech on behalf of Messrs. Cum
ningham and Jefferson presented a
beautiful silver pitcher and goblet to
the company. He was followed by
Rev. ] Henderson in a longer speech
who presented a large and elegant bible
as gift from the ladies committee who
had charge of the work of procuring it..
The ladies had an excellent supper
spread in the immense banquet hall
and there was refreshment table in
the dancing hall. The ice cream and
the dishes used were kindly donated by
the famous caterer Mr.. Z. S. Watkins.
After the floor was cleared every
body who chose to do SO danced to the
sweet strains of music furnished by Prof.
III. f. Plates orchestra until early morn.
Every one was well pleased with the
entertainment which was a grand sue
cess in every way.
