4 Woman who Furnished II Town with u
Week of Sensations.
MoDlLE, ALA, August 3.-There is II
colorcd woman, Susan Williams, here
who in weeks time has combined al
most every sensational effort possible.
She is evidently crazy, Thursday last
she threw her two weeks old baby out
Of window OF her home on Govern
ment street, and when her mother went
TO rescue the infant she locked her out,
forcing the aged woman to sleep all night
in the yard. On Saturday she apparent
ly died and was laid out for burial. On
Sunday she awoke with suddepness
that scared all the watchers out OF the
house. Monday she set fire TO the house
and Tuesday she was arrested for dis
orderly conduct, the neighbors being
afraid she would burn up the neighbor-
hood. Yesterday she was sent to the
hospital and had not been there ten
minutes when she jumped out Of the
second story window, thirty feet, in
juring gherseffsevcrely, though not fatally.

of II Desperate.
VALDosrA, Ga, August 3.-Valdosta
has Just passed through one OF the most
sensational events of years in the arrest
OF man answering the description OF
John Williams, the desperate and lugi'
tive murderer. The crime for which
JoluI Williams is wanted was the luur-
der OF an old man named Jim Allen,
night Waterman at the station, in OctO.
Der, 1883. Waterman Allen attempted
to arrest mullato for disOrdGrly con-
duct. The negro drew pistol and shot
the officer through the heart. The 10
O'Clock train had Just come up, and be-
fore any one knew what bad happened
the negro boarded the train and was
rapidly carried away in the darkness. 1t
subsequently was learned that the mur-
derer was one John Williams, Il negro
who had only been in the neighbor-
hood a short time and was but little
known. The murder caused intense eX-
citement. Mr.. Allen was popular and
was faithful officer. Six hundred dol
lars reward was offered and the second
chapter begun: MulattO negroes all
over the country who bore any rescm'
blance to the description given Of VIII
liams were arrested. 1t is stated that
nearly fifteen men have been arrested

MEADvILLE, Pa, August 3.-Thc peace
Of the city was seriously disturbed this
afternoon by two toughs calling them
selves Dan Crayton and Charles Mullen,
who entered the butcher shop OF BEuner
Brothers on Dock street, and in true
cowboy style presented their revolvers
and demanded the contents OF the
butchers till. The butcher managed to
escape, but Mr.. Charles Leary, who was
passing the shop, noticing the commo-
ton therein, was violently assailed by
one OF the scoundrcls, but quickly re-
covering, he ran into harness shop and
seizing hammer ieiled one Of his assaii,
ants to the pavement. Leary then ran
for his life, followed up Dock street by
the companion ofthe wounded highway
man, who blazed away at the retreating
citizen, but fortunately doing no greater
damage than to send ball crushing
through a plate glass window in the
store Of Refer 4 Co. The firing col.
lected an excited crowd, which gave
chase to the now fleeing robber and he
was quickly made prisoner, not with.
ont vigorous resistance, as he fired at his
pursuers until his revolver was empty
Both OF the would.be murderers are nov
in the city prison awaiting hearing.

LONDON, August 3.-Thc extraordi-
nary letter from Captain 0'Shea, pub
lished in yesterdays Times, concerning
the interview between Mr.. Parnell and
MIR. Chamberlain, has attracted much at
tention by reason OF the Sindictive tone
which it displays towards the Irish
leader. The intense bitterness which
marks the Captains missiyo lends some
color to the generally accepted rumor
that the s0-called ParnelI letters now in
the possession OF the Times were handed
TO the latter by Mrs. 0'Shea, until nine
months ago the Irish leaders Egeria,
but now his worst enemy. For years,
in fact ever since the famous kilmain,
ham treaty, Mr.. Parnell has been the
most intimate friend OF the OShea fam
lily, at whose villa at Ellham, near Lon
don, he resided permanently, even
keeping his horses and carriages there.
A year ago quarrel occurred, the init
macy came to an end, and at the pres
ent moment Mr.. Parnell has no bitterer
enemies than Captain 0Shea and his
wife, who is sister-in-law Of the we'll
known General Sir Evelyn Wood.

Queer sort of s.tHIIntion Wanted,

CHICAGO, August 2.-There is consid-
cradle comment in leading Irish circles
in this city this morning, concerning the
announcement that the British Govern
ment has appealed for clemency III be-
half OF Maxwell. The contcmptuous
treatment which was accorded President
Arthur in behalf OF O'Donnell is re.
called, as well us the relentless severity
with which Irish Americans are invari-
ably treated in the English courts. Tel
egraphic communication will be had to-
day with prominent Missouri Irishmen
requesting them to see that the record
Of the English Government in similar
cases is placed before the Governor.

MANSFIELD, o., August 3.-Thc Wheel

field in to.day's game, yet failed TO earn
any OF the four runs OH which they won,
the tallies in both innings being the re-
suit OF the fielding errors OF the home
team and questionable decision OF
Umpire AIcDermott's, which gave
Wheeling life and two runs, after the
side should have been retired. Green
made the finest catch ever seen on these
grounds. Yak tripped Aicott on one Of
the base lines when running and the
crowd claiming that it was done on pur-
pose, hissed him when be came to bat.
Yak says it was an accident.
The score is as follows:

he plays with that team it will be be-

A number OF the ladies OF Lima, real

games. A meeting is to be held and an
organization effected, the purpose Of
which will be to raise such sum Of
money us will carry the club safely
through the season, and thus obviate tho
necessity for Sunday ball playing. The
ladies understand that the receipts Of
the Sunday games are sufficient to keep
the financial condition OF the club in
good shape, and taking pride in the
clubs success, will aid them by every
means in their power to go through the
season creditably, without the necessity
OF sabbath games.

REST AWHILE.

1t is not always the amount. but the
quality of work. that produces the best re-
snlts. illustrate by the performance of a
musician. Quantity often wearies, quail
ity entrances 1t is even so iii handling
the delicate chords OF the human heart.
Not the amount Of parental discipline, but
the character OF it, is that which shall pro-
dnee the best results. In order to do this
the nerves of the parent must be keptin
happy tune Rasped and overstrained nerves
cannot do the best work in the family cir
Gle. How, then, can they be kept in tune?
A very happy experience was given us, the
other day, by one of the most successful OF
mothers. She said that it was her rule
every day to 90 to her room at a particular
hour and close the door For that one
hour it was understood that she must not
be disturbed, except for the most cogent
reason That hour refreshed her to such
an extent that the remainder of her day
was espec tally useful to her family. ln-
stead of being the losers by the retirement
of this hour, her children were the gamers.
For the sweetness of her tone, in the re-
manning eleven hours, made them far more
profitable than otherwise the whole twelve
hours could have been. Her experience
is so happy, that we send the hint abroad,
in the hope that many weary mother
who feels that there is fretfulness, at least
sometimes, in her tones, may try the plan
and feel the benefit Do not condemn
it if the first day it fails to accomplish all
that one would ish 1t may take a
month of restful hours to overcome the
deep-seatcd weariness of months previous.
Persevere and feel sure that the benefit
will surely follow Christian Observer.
