cowhided ~ a rluoky woman.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 22.--Mrs.
French, a highly respectable widow lady
who resides in the western suburbs Of
the city, created quite a sensation by
publicly cowhiding a young man named
Oates, who runs a grocery store. About
a month ago Mrs. French went to Oates
store and forbade his selling liquor to her
son, a fast young man, and it seems that
he gave no heed to her Instructions. She
went to the store and found her son and
Oates gambling. She covered Oates with
a cooked pistol in n hand, and welded
a cowhide with the other, and gave him
a evere %drubbing. She also scooped in
all the money i'll the pot and put it in her
pocket, saying that it was hers, anyhow.
The scene was witnessed by several

that II will result in open doors for the
consideration of all executive business
upon which the injunction is mot specially
voted. There has been SO much lying
about what really took place in secret
sessions on the British %extradition treaty,
that nearly all Of the senators are heartily
sick of the whole secret session business,
and are about ready to- open the doors by
practically unanimous consent. Closed
doors and the injunction of secrecy give
too much latitude to men who want to

Severely Injured.
DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 22.-Wednesday
morning at 7:15 an explosion of dynam-
lite occurred in a rock cut on Fourth
street. Eighteen men are injured, eight
are now in the hospital. One died upon
reaching the hospital and others cannot
live through the day. Men and rocks
were hurled many feet and the shock
caused by the explosion was terrific.
The III of the explosion was that some
cartridges fused last Saturday had not
been exploded, and remained in the drill
hole. Work wes resumed and the men
had struck but a few blows on the drill
when the dynamite exploded with awful
force. About thirty men were In the
cut. The blame attaches to the foreman
of the gang, who, it is claimed, knowing
the danger, ordered the men back to
work. The coroner's jury will develop
the facts IN the matter. 1t is probable
that at least four fatalities will result.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22-"Ede Smith has,
been arrested and Identified by Ms. Ella
S.. Wick, of No. Ala West Madison
street, as the mysterious I'D, who ac-
companied Tascott to his lodgings in her
third-story fiat q fey hours after the
Smell murder was committed, early on
the morning of Feb. 8. Smith has agreed
to testify against Tascott, and tell ali
he knows about the latter,s connection
with the Shell burglary and murder. And
that, 1T is claimed, is enough, taken in
conjunction with the evidence OF Mrs
Wick and Jennie Frances, alias Clifford,
to prove young Tascott guilty Of the
tragedy. .tEd'' Smith is known to the
police as a crook and a pool-roGm' shark. y
For some time he made his Headquarters
at the Garden City pool room, on West
Madison street, and, being an expert, his
scheme was to play the part Of a
greeahorn ana ''rope inn young me- of
less experience and more money. 1t was
over a game OF pool In the place mon
toned that ED formed the acquaint-
ance of Will Tascott about three weeks
prior to the Smell affair. Tho ~acquaint-
ance soon ripened into warm friendship,
and Tascott proposed that Smith join him
In his midnight burglaries. He said
there was big money in it. Smith agreed
TO become his confederate and partner,
and they worked together In numerous
small jobs prior to the SMELL tragedy.
Their plan was to t'spot,' the house they
intended to rob during the daytime, and
meet about midnight at some designated
place and commit the burglary. Smith
was less reckless, it seems, than.
Tascott, and generally did the outside
watching while his companion went
through the house. The Smell mansion
was spotted in this manner, and Tas-
colt did the planning. He told s'Ed'e to
meet him about midnight at the corner
of Ada street and Washington boulevard.
ED claims he oversight that night, and
did not reach the appointed corner Hhtil
about 3 a. m He stood there and waited
o Tascott to appear, and presently the
latter came out OF SMELLS house, pale ex-
cited, and trembling, crept up stealthily
and grabbed him by the arm and said
ED, we must get out ct here. I've gone
through the house and shot the old mani,
Then they sneaked away to Tascott's
room, where he immediately began
preparations for his flight, as has already
been related in detail.
