Both Murdered.

KANSAS CITY, Aprils.-Adeplorable domes
tic tragedy occurred in this city today, which
will result in the death of q young married
couple. About 10 O'Clock this morning Ellis
worth selscr, a tcamstcr, who has been hav-
ing trouble with his wife, Mollie, met her in
the hall of the building in which their rooms
are located, and, kissing her affectienatcly,
asked to speak to her in her room. They
went into the room, and u few minutes later
the %ncighbors were startled by q pistol ehot,
followed by a woman's scream, and a moment
later by two mere shots. When the door was
forced open, the wife was found on the floor
with n bullet wound In her abdomen and the
husband was leaning against the bed with
two bullets in his abdomen. Both wounds
are necessarily fatal. Mrs. Sclser, who is
only IL years old, married Frank Tucker last
May. He died in August, and Sclser, a for
mer sutton, persuaded her to marry him,
which she did last December. Since fuckers
death his brother, Robert Tucker, a racc-horse
owner now In New Orleans, has been sending
Mrs. selscr money for the support Of his dead
brothers. child, born only two weeks ago.
sclscr had been demanding this money from
his wife, and her refusal to give 1t to him
caused the tragedy.

Headspath, who wanted to fight. Hcadspath
drew q knife and sprang towards King. AT
this King drew q 3S-caliber revolver and fired
two shots at Young, who dropped dead, with

through the heart. King then turned on
Headspath and shot him in the right groin,

at once started to run up the river bank, pur-
sued by a constantly increasing mob Of nc

King, now pressed by his wrathful pursucrs,
turned and sought refuge in the pump house

Has wife a right to take letters from
the possession Of her husband without
his knowledge or consent-that is, let
ters written to him by another person!
That is a legal conundrum which Geor.
gia Judge has just had to answer.
A woman suspected that her husband
was secretly corresponding with another
woman. She quietly undertook to get
hold Of some of the ardent missives and
succeeded. Thereupon she brought a
suit for divorce and proposed to use them
TO establish her case. The husband. how
ever. applied to the Court for an order
restoring the documents to his posses
sion.
In opposition to this il was argued that
husband and wife are one, and hence
that wife connot legally steal from her
husband. The weakness of this argu-
ment was that while husband and wife
were one by the old common law, that
one was invariably the husband. But
this legal fiction of their being one has
vanished since the enactment OF statutes
enlarging and increasing the rights of q
married woman and making her in many
respects an independent legal identity
While her rights have been extended
her liabilities have been correspondingly
increased.
The Judge held thatthe wife in this cas'
had no right to take her husbands letter.
and ordered them to be returned to him

A Campaign LIE.

Campaign editorial in an East Ten
nessee paper: The enemies of Cap
tain George Hicks, our most promi-
nent candidate for Sheriff, maliciously
assert that he is Prohibitionist. This
is the blackest and most unealled for
slander of the campaign. We have
known the Captain for several years,
and have proof that he is not Prohi-
bitionist, and in proof OF this asser-
tion-which we do not make without
mature deliberation-we submit the
following facts: On the night OF May
10 the Captain got so drunk over at
Frazer's Point that he had to be taken
home in wagon. The next day, in
the presence OF some of our most
prominent citizens, he was seen to
drink a cocktail. Four days later he
got drunk at Miller's Landing and fell
into the river. This cannot be
successfully disputed, for the feat was
witnessed by the county Judge and a
number of our most prominent citi-
zens. Since then the Captain has
been a liberal drinker, and We dare
any black-hearted scoundrel in this
county to come forward and attempt q
refutation of these facts. We do not
object to open and manly opposition
but we despise the sneaking and un'
derhanded way employed by certain
disreputable politicians of this com
munity.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS.
The Deed for which Howard o.
Spencer Was Arrested.

Howard o. Spencers arrest on q
charge Of murder committed thirty years
ago has given rise to great deal Of sur.
prise and comment. The circumstances
which attended the alleged crime we're
related to reporter recently and
read like a wild Western episode Of
earlier days. Spencer when scarcely 10
years old was at Rush Vale, west Of
salt Lake City, when troop Of cavalry
belonging to Albert Sidney Johnson's re-
giment came into the valley, and the
horses were turned loose to feed on the
hay. Sergeant Pike commanded the de.
tachment, and was met by young Spen.
Ger, who objected to this foraging ON his
premises. 10 the alteration which fol.
lowed Pike beat Spencer over the head
with the butt end OF q musket, and left
him for dead on the ground. Spencer
was cared for by his friends, but mar.
rowly escaped with his life after lying in
bed for nearly year. As soon as the
young man was ableto get about Pike was
arrested, tried and acquitted. Shortly
after the trial Spencer met him on the
street and said, :" Is this Sergeant Pike!"
Pike recognized him and made an at.
tempt to draw his pistol, but Spencer
was quicker than he and got the drop
and shot him in the stomach. Pike died,
but the case was considered one OF justi.
liable homicide. and no indictment was
found against him. His arrest recently

The dramatic instinct OF the French

so perfectly natural in being wholly

what belle reyerencea a child OF four

the Chesterfieldism out of the boys,
but the girls will retain maniere grace

them. French children do not seem
to take kindly to lawn tennis and to
the open-air sports which are doing a
world OF good to the just
risen and rising generations OF
English girlhood. How much
better English girls walk and

how much more finely grown and
