When woman has hen to drive into coop

shakes them quietly at the delinquent and says,
'Shoo, there!' The hen takes one look at the
object to assure herself that it is a woman, and
then stalks hajestically into the coop. A man
doesn't do it that way. He goes outdoors, say
ing: ats singular nobody can drive a hen bit
mew and picking up a stick of wood hurls it at
the offending biped and yells, 'Get in there,
you thiefn' The hen Immediately loses her
reason and dashes to the other end of the yard.
The man plunges after her. She comes back
with her head down, her wings out and followed
by a miscellaneous assortment of stove-wood,
fruit cans, clinkers, and very mad man in the
rear. Then she skins under the barn and over
| a fence or two and around the house. back to
the coop again, all the while talking as only an
excited hen can talk, and all the while followed
by things convenient for throwing, and by a
man whose coat is on the sawbuck, whose hat
is on the ground and whose perspiration is lin
itless. BY this time the other hens have come
out to take a hand in the debate and help
dodge missiles. The man vows that every hen
on the place shall be sold at once, puts on his
hat and coat and goes down town. The woman
comes out goes right to work and has every
one of those hens housed and counted inside Of
two minutes.

THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Excitement I'm the Neighborhood where
the Body was Found.

The mysterious murder Of young colored
woman, which is referred to at length on an
other page, has caused great excitement in the
neighborhood where the body was found.
The colored people Of Benning, Burrville
and Lincolnville are greatly excited over the
tragedy. The spot where the body was found
has been visited by hundreds OF people. This
afternoon the officers had not discovered any
clue as to the identity Of the woman or where
she lived 1t is the general opinion that
THE BODY WAS BROUGHT THERE
from some distant place. II was thought that
the fact OF her shoes having been recently
mended would assist the officers in their
investigation but there seems 20 be
a scarcity of shoemakers in that
locality. There is a shoemaker near Bennins,
but he did not repair the shoes. Some distance
above Benning there is a cobbler shop, but the
proprietor was not in when a STAR reporter
called there to-day. Saturday night a wagon
was heard on the Sheriff road. but no one sus-

HOW ONE PRESCRIPTION GREW.
As the testimony proceeded the evidence of
DR.. Chew grew in Importance in the mind of
the Commissioner. Not only was the prescription
given in the fall of 1888 spread out SO as to ex-
tend to all times and to cover both opiates and
liquor, but DIR. Chew was multiplied into
several physicians. as the following instance of
a question directed to a witness who persisted
IN saying he had seen her under the influence
of something will show:
Mr.. Wheatley: sit has been developed in evil
dence here that at times Mrs. Stoutenburg has
taken opiates or liquor of some character by
direction of the physicians?"
A. 81 no not know anything about that"
One witness even who left the employ of the
asylum before DR.. Chew gave the prescription
IN 1853, and who had seen the matron under
the influence of something" was asked did il
ever come to your knowledge that she was TAX
ing opiates or stimulants by direction of her
physician
As he did not possess the power of looking
into the future to the time when the prescrip-
ton would be given the witness had no knowl-
edge of this and answered the Commissioner in
the negative.
There seems to have been fine lines drawn by
the Commissioners in his examination between
the different states, described as drunk" ..in-
toxicated," and under the influence Oh some-
thing" One witness said the matron held her
self up by the door. The damaging effect of
this was counterbalanced by an admission
drawn from tie witness by the adroit cross
examiner that she could talk.
THE SALE OF OLD MATERIALS.
In reference to the sale of old materials, In
tendant Stoutenburgh admitted substantially
all that was alleged in THE STAB as the result
of STAR reporters inquiries, adding, however,
as an explanation, q statement to the effect
that the Commissioners had permitted him to
sell this material and use the money among
the inmates. Mr.. Stoutenburgh kept no ac-
counts and was unable to say how much these
sales amounted TO. The amounts we're treated
