The SteInhauser Murder.

The trial of the supposed Steinhauser
murdererers-M Mrs Steinhauser and Henry
Rohmeister will come up before the
present Jefferson county Circuit court,
which opened at Jefferson Monday The
parties to the defense have engaged coun-
sci, and will make all efforts to prove
their innocence Mrs Steinhauser is
said to stoutly disclaim any criminal
knowledge of the deed, while Rohmeister
says nothing.
1t will be rememb mbered that Martin
SteiDhauser, German farmer living near
Palmyra, was found murdered at his resi-
dence early one morning last April under
circumstances that pointed strongly to his
wife and his hired man as the perpetrators.
Steinhauser and his wife had always quar-
relied, and the latter had come to lcok
with more favorable eye on the man
than on the master. Further, Steinhauser
carried an insurance on his life which
would be sufficient to pay up the mort
gage on the farm, and it had been agreed
that as soon as the farm was free Rob
meister should have 40 acres decided to
him as recompense for his Iabors These
are the circumstances indicating that
Steinhauser's death would not be disa-
greeable either to Mrs. s. or to Rohmeis-
ter, and when it occurred and neither of
the above parties could tell straight
story or indeed any probable story, sus-
picion naturally fastened to them. In
their own vicinity they are generally re-
garded as sguilty A correspondent writing
from the neighborhood soon after the
tragedy says: The majority incline to
the first generally prevailing sentiment,
expressed in few words, Sick husband,
jealousy, hired man. murdered by his
wife during family quarrel, with the
knowledge if not cooperation of the hired
man."

A gross blunder was made here On Sun
day morning by the postal clerk of tie
fast mail in throwing off at this station
the Fall River pouch, containing large
frst-class mail. Being no train until
Monday, the mail was delayed here over
Sunday. On Monday Postmaster Solon,
to make sure of having the mail CO. sent
it east on the morning train, expecting it
would be taken through here at ] :l5 P.
M, not caring to hang so large an amount
of mail on the mail crane for the train to
catch at 1:l5. What was his surprise to
6pd all the mail, but in different pouch,
and plainly marked Fall River, thrown
off here with the mail from the train it
should have gone on through to its des-
tination. Why this last piece of child's
play is beyond the postmaster's knowl-
edge. Here is delay of two and one
half days given 6rst-class mail that is in
excusable, and the party at fault should
be made to answer for it. The first blum
der can explain itself, but the last is too
much of an open-faced bullheadedness
somewhere.

OBITUARY.

Herbert o. Perry, son OF John Fl. Perry,
of Pipersyille, died at the family home
Sunday afternoon, August 26, 1888, at 5
o'clock, of consumption, aged II years.
His sickness proceeded from cold caught
about three months ago, pneumonia final
ly setting in. He was bright, pleasant
lad, greatly beloved by all who bore his
acquaintance, and his death causes great
grief to his fond father. Herbert belong
ed to the last graduating class of the Va
tertown High school. Sickness, however,
prevented him from being present at the
graduating exercises. but he was awarded
and received diploma, as he was known
to stand one OF the highest in his class.
His death is sincerely regretted by his
young associates here, who held him a
the highest esteem

IN MEMORY OF HERBERT PERRY.
An angc! was sent from the gates of heaven
To gather fresh buds and flowers,
And he stopped one eve, at the close of day,
At the happy home of ours.
He stopped und gently touched the brow
Of Herbert, our pride and JOY.
Though at the sight we wept and prayed
That his hand might be turned aside;
But the angel said, "He was only lent,
Now the Master claims His own
The purest flowers He only meaht
Should blossom before His throne
Then quickly back to the gates of heaven
The angel sped away,
Leaving us lonely, but bearing his soul
Unto realms of endless day.
Since he this world of trouble knew
But seventeen passing years have fed;
He came with innocence, pure and true,
And thus to heaven he has been led.
How sad to think of Herbe-gone,
How it fills our hearts with pain.
But Oh! he's gone to heaven above,
And we hope we shall meet ag in.

The Woman Takes Refuge in a
Gentleman's Bedchamber and
the Man Follows.
An l. & G. N. locomotive engineer, a
short time ago, got himself into a pretty
mess by allowing his wife to 60 to q
church society meeting, while he, tired
out by q long SO hours run, staid at
home and slept. His wife had intended
to lock him up and take the key along,
not that she was AFRAID OF losing him, or
that some one would steal him. but
because he usually slept so soundly that
anybody might enter the house even
noisily and he would not hear them.
The sequel will show how correct her
diagnosis of the case WAS.
She forgot TO lock the door,
and carried the key with her.
The meeting kept in late and
when she returned by the street
car, her husband was wide awake and
his eyes had that wide open expression
which denotes either fear or great as
tonishment, and he related a horrible
tale. He was awakened by negro wO-
man In his bed room who was bowling
blue murder with all her lungs, and
scratching and kicking like wild cat.
Tangled up with her crinOline and skirts
was something black, which proved to
be a man, and he YVES reaching for her
with both fists, and WAS using his feet
also. to good purpose. He was the
oolored porter of Pullman coach, and
lived In hut to the rear Of the gentle
mans house. When MIR. Engineer awoke
the negro desisted, and the loving pair,
who proved to be master and mis-
tress, departed. But the poor mans
nerves had received such a shock
that he could not sleep, so he arose and
tried TO clean up the m uss, but there
was 80 much mud, wool, hsirpins, rags
and finger nails on the carpet that he
gave 1t up, until his wife arrived to
help him. sHe is now being greatly
leased by his comrades of the road, who
pretend not to believe his version of the
affair. Anyhow. the negro woman has
not yet fully recovered from her beat
