Fed on Pounded Glass.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 5.-Mr. Michael T.
vereen, a widower % years old, with five
children, ole OF the richest and respected
citizens OF Little River, Horny county, mar
rled two months ago Miss Winnie Lancaster
a handsome and stylish looking woman, IA
member of one Of the best families In the
country, and about 81 years Of age. Notwith-
standing the disparity in their ages, the mar
riage for the first two or three weeks seemed
to be a sery happy. Soon, however, the wife
confded to her intimate friends that she did
not love her husband, and was very much
dissatisfied with her lot. On Tuesday Mrs.
Vcreen arose, and as usual prepared some
whisky for her husband to drink. Mr.. Vereen
gave two OF his little boys some Of the toddy,
drinking what was left herself. In . very
short time the Two boys became very sick
and soon afterward Mr.. vereen was
| Frustrated. A doctor was summoned and
found Er. Vereen apparently dead, but finally
succeeded In restoring him to Consciousness.
Mr.. Nereen, suspecting something WAS wrong,
asked the doctor TO examine the bottle In
which his Wife had prepared the toddy. The
doctor did 70 and found that 1t contained
whisky mixed with chloroform. Mrs. Nereen,
on being closely questioned, admitted that
she gave the cnoloroform intentionally and
that her purpose was 10 kill her husband.
| She then seized a penknife and attempted
suicide by cutting her throat, but was pre-
vented. Subsequently she drank laudanum
but was saved, although she came very near
dying. Notwithstanding the fact that her
husband generously fergave her for attempt
to kill him and his children, Mrs. Vereen
subsequently made two additional attempts
upon his life by administering pounded glass
10 him in the medicine which he was taking
TO counteract the effects OF poisoned whisky,
Mr.. Nereen is now In a critical condition as a
consequence OF having swallowed a quantity
of the pounded glass, and Notwithstanding
his disapproval his wife has at last been ar
rested at the instance OF his relatives.

FavOripg a Worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The report Of
Chairman Belmont, of the house foreign
affairs committee, on the bill to provide
for a worlds exposition at the national
capital in 1892, has just been issued from
the government printing office. The re-
port proper is very brief, but the appen-
dix embodies the remarks Of Alexander
ID. Anderson, secretary of the board of
promotion, and others, made before the
committee in support Of the exposition
also resolutions of national and inter
national conventions, boards of trades,
and letters from governors Of states and
ministers Of South and Central American
governments, all indorsing in the strong
est terms the proposed exposition and for
a permanent exposition Of the three
Americas at Washington.
The committee in its report notes the
desire of various alton of the American
continent to suitably commemorate the
coming four hundredth anniversary OF
the discovery of AmericB by Columbus,
and thinks the United States should take
the initiative in this matter. The com
mittee adds:
OF the total forty-six state and terri
torlal legislatures OF the United States
thirty-three meet during the coming seven
months, and nearly all Of these in bien-
NAL session. Hence, it is important that
no time be lost in extending the invita-
ton provided for in the bill reported.
The United States has repeatedly during
the past thirty-tfve years accepted invita-
tons to participate in international expo
%sitions at the capital and leading cities of
European and other foreign nations.
During the present session congress has
by legislation accepted invitations to
Paris, Brussels, Melbourne and BARGE
Iona. At our own national capital there
has never been a gathering of nations at
an exposition. The committee unani-
mously reports and recommends the pas
sage of the bin, which was reported to
the house about two weeks ago.

wild II, an, devoid of covering, is roaming
abont III, woods armed. The first intima-
ton that III { people had of the strange
and unwelco, re visitor was Friday, when
a little girl in g. ing to the town center
was startled b. a man, scantily
clothed, springiDg cut at her from
behind a wall, as she was passing
through a lonely piece o. woods. She es-
capped his clutches, ran for town and told
her story. The village was soon aroused
and men armed with clubs and other
weapons started in search OF the man,
taking the girl with them, whN,' when
when the place was reached wher,e the
man sprang out at her, was sent al>9ng
alone to see if she would receive furth.t
attention from him. She did, but
she screamed her tormentor quickly
darted back through the underbrush anG
disappeared. In the meantime the little
girl tainted several times. She was taken
to u %neighbor's and the scouts returned to
town. Church bells were rung and the
people turned out to search again. Several
days later a Nj. Priest, in running through
the woods, found the hiding place and
bed OF the inhabitant of the forest. Ii
was located under a huge pine tree, the
branches OF which in their sweep touched
the ground, thus forming a safe and close
retreat. 1t was also discovered that he
had a bed close TO the wall next the road,
which he could watch in both directions
for quite a distance, and it was here he
lay in wait when the unsupported girl
passed. 1t is supposed that he is a luna
tic escaped from some hospital.

CHICAGO, july 5.-An elopement, TO which
the theatrical profession furnished one of the
parties and a well known business house an
other, was placed to the credit OF Chicago to-
night. The party Of the first part is none
other than May Yohe, a footlight ~favorite who
Is noted for her remarkably fine contralto
voice and a fair face, both of which made her
quite a ~favorite with the susceptible young
men of Chicago. 1t seems that the young
men we're not the enIy ones caught by her
manifold charms. According TO the story re-
ferred to Miss Yohe, accompanied by Edward
b. Shaw, visited the races Monday. Mr.. Shaw
is the cashier of the Dake bakery, and ia also
a son OF the proprietors. He is 30 years of
age, good looking and married to the daugh-
ter Of q leading insurance man OF this city.
1t is said that Mr.. Shaw on the day men
toned had a business engagement In Clevc-
land aud that after the races he concluded to
take a Lake shore train for that point. Miss
Yohe accompanied him to the train, and here
her friends take up the thread Of the story,
and say that while she was bidding him fare
well the horrid train moved off. At any rate,
the next word which was heard from the fair
contralto was from Cleveland. From this on
it Is not an easy matter to trace the couple.
Miss Yohe's mother assured Manager Hen
derson Of the theater that her daughter would
positively appear at the matinee tomorrow.
Not only that, but Miss Yohe is now In the
city. When questioned a little more closely
as TO the exact residence of Miss Yohe at pres
ent, she said that she was living with friends
at No. 500 Division street. Investigations
made by reporters soon demonstrated that no
such number existed.
