morrow and might then be inclined to
talk about the tragedy. Counsel for the
murderess called at the prison early to-
day and talked with his client for a long
time. When questioned as to the line OF
defense, if any, which had been
determined upon, he replied that
the defense undoubtedly would be
insanity, There was no doubt,
the counsel said, that Mrs. Southworth was
insane. His client was incoherent in her
statements. the result of the great shock
her nervous system had sustained, but in
a day or two she would be more rational.
As matters stand, Mrs. Southworth' state
ment of her many wrongs is quite clear
enough to enable counsel to grapple with
the case. Mr. w r. Martin, the woman's
brother, was among her early callers. 1t
was with this brother that Mrs. South
worth lived. The scene between brother
and sister is described as of the most
affecting character. She seemed to forget
her position, as almost all her inquiries
were made concerning her mother.
Numbers of curious persons visited the
TOmbs court this morning, thinking Mrs.
Southworth would be taken there. They
were disappointed. Next Thursday she
will be at the inquest.

WOOD ARRESTED.
The Fact. in ths Ballot Box Contract For.

gerry Likely Tome out
CINCINNATI, Nov. pa startling arrest
was made here to-night-no less than that
of r. g. Wood, who recently obtained
national notoriety by his alleged connec-
ton with the famous ballot-box contract
forgery, in which the names of ten promi-
nent statesmen, including those of James
+. Campbell, democratic governor-elect of
Ohio, Senator Sherman and Congressman
Ben Butterworth, are mentioned. 1t is
believed here that Gov.-elect Campbell,
Senator Sherman and Congressman
Butterworth are pushing this prosecution
OF Wood. Atty Harry r. Probasco,
a relative by marriage OF Senator Sher-
man, swore out the warrant before Judge
Ermston OF the police court. Wood disap-
peared from the city about the time OF the
exposure of the forgery and returned only
two or three days ago. The affidavit Of
Mr.. Probasco charges r. c. Wood with
perpetrating a libel on or about Sept. z,
1889, against William Mckinley, James E.
Campbell, Ben Butterworth, John Sher-
man, 5. s. Cox, w. B. s. Breckenridge,
Charles McAdoo, J. r. Mcpherson, j. r.
Whiting and +. B., Stocl1bridge-all MEM
bers or eX-members of the house or senate
of the United States-in that he counter
feited their names to a forged contract-a
wholly fictitious document-and which
forgery Wood committed with ma
licious intent to disgrace these
men and damage them in the
eyes of the nation by leading the people
to believe they were in a corrupt scheme
to make money by violating the laws OF
the United States by being pecuniarv in
terested in the passage OF the ballot-box
bill pending before congress. The affidavit
furthermore alleges that Wood caused this
forgery to be published by delivering it,
directly or indirectly, to Gov. J. B. Fora
ker and to others unknown to affiant.
Mr.. Woods bail bond was fixed at
$1,000. He tried for two hours while un-
der arrest to obtain bail, but failed. He
protested his innocence. There is great
interest in the matter here, not only in
and OF itself, but in view of possible devel-
opments during the trial.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 23.-The case of r.
G.. Wood, charged with executing and
causing the publication of the celebrated
ballot-box contract forgery. was called in

MURDERED HIS BABES.
A Dying Father and Deserted Husband
Commits awful Crime.

Commits an awful Crime.
New YoRK, Nov. 22.-Driven desperate
by disease and the cruel treatment of his
wife, James Smith, a letter-carrier attached
20 station D., this afternoon tired to kill
himself and two pretty babies in the Law
renee flats. He almost made complete
success of his work One child is dead
and the other dying. A button on his
trousers was the only thing that prevented
Smith from taking his own life. woman
is at the bottom of it, as is usually the case.
Two weeks ago Smiths wife left him for
the second time, without any warning or
cause. He is suffering with consumption,
contracted during the blizzard. The doctor
told him he could not live later than next
spring. With his wife gone and his own
death in view, Smith decided that his chill
dren would be better off dead than alive.
His life was wrapped up in the two little
ones and life would be empty without
them He decided to take his own life at
the same time, and thus end all the mis-
cry at once. He left the children with a
Mrs. Bauer, a dressmaker in the house,
asking her to care for them until he re-
turned. They are girls, one two years and
the other eleven months old. He went
out and bought an old-fashioned 3S-caliber
revolver and box of cartridges
Returning he said nothing of his des-
perate resolve, but at once took the child
rem back into his own rooms. There he
placed the pretty blue-eyed babe in its
little chair and took the elder one on his
knee. There was one shot and the infant
screamed. Blood began to trickle from
its left breast, just above the heart A
second shot and the larger girl, Elizabeth,
cried out, "Oh, papa, putting her hand to
her stomach, where the bullet had entered.
Smith next placed the glistening barrel
against his own stomach and pulled the
trigger. He felt the shock OF the bullet
and thought he would die in a few mo-
ments. The bullet had struck button on
his trousers, glanced off and inflicted a
flesh wound only. Neighbors heard the
shooting and ran for the police. They
found Smith in his rear room frantically
kissing the oldest child and calling il by
endearing names. II was dead. Blood
trickled down its breast. Mary, the baby,
was feebly crying.
An ambulance was at once summoned
and the baby taken to Bellevue hospital.
The fathers wound was dressed and he
was locked up. The other child lies in a
baby carriage now, awaiting the coroner.
When asked why he committed the terri
BILE deed, Smith told the police that he
thought they would all be far better off il
they were dead "What could ! do?" he
asked. "My wife left me, and could not
take care OF NV children. Let me die
here" he pleaded Life has no charms
for me-" Smith was married three years
ago, and was sober, reliable man. His
wife was twenty-three years old, pretty
and fond OF male companions The two
children were remarkably pretty.

Mrs. Matthews of Princeton Charges Her
Husband with An Outrageous Crime.
VINcENNEs, Nov. 23.-[Special. Mrs.
Elsie Anna Matthews created sensation
to-day by going before Mayor Murphy and
swearing out warrant against her hus-
band, John Calvin Matthews, charging
him with incest The victim is alleged to
be his twenty-year-olds tep-daughter, Lille
May Morris, and the fruit of his illicit re-
lations-a bright-eyed boy of eighteen
months-was brought before the court. On
being arraigned Matthews pleaded guilty
to the crime, but the girl protested her in
nocence. Both, however, were sent to
Jail, in default OF bail, to await the action
of the circuit court. The family hereto
fore was considered highly respectable.

HARRIET BEEcHeR STOWE MAD.
Her Dementia Is Harmless, But None the
Less Pitiable.

Lees Pitiable.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe is mildly demented. The fires
of genius are dead, and the once brilliant mind
is choked with their ashes. The heart, once
filed with bright dreams and sunshine. is now
haunted by ghosts and shadows. She has be-
come again a child, and day by day she wan
ders around under the bare boughs of the
autumn trees, gathering their dead leaves. She
is quite harmless, and, in fact, so insjdious has
been the approach of the disease that not over
two hundred people in Hartford are aware Of
her condition. Two generations ago she wrung
tears from the eyes of the civilized world with
the magic OF her pen. Only last week she
wandered out into the street alone, an old,
white-haired woman, bent with the weight of
years, but simple and harmless as child. A
shawl which hung from her shoulders dragged
on the ground and her gray hair was in disor-
der She smiled, and talked 10 herself as she
tottered weakly along, and finally crowd of
rough street boys were following her. They
laughed and jeered at the pitiful sight, not
knowing who she was.
"Only little way" she said, as she reached
the corner. irresolute as 10 which way to turn.
At this moment gentleman came along who
had known her in happier years. Tears sprapg
into his eyes at the sight. He dispersed the
boys, and with some difficulty induced the
aged woman to return home. The foregoing
was related by an eyewitness Mrs. Stowe is
provided with a nurse, but is allowed freely to
60 about the house. She is perfectly quiet and
has no violent fancies. Her trouble seems TO
be gradual wearing away of all the faculties.

The Investigations

SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 23.-The inves-
tigation in regard to the endowment house
oaths and teachings of the mormon church
was resumed in the district court this
morning. Further evidence was adduced
in regard to the ovation rendered by the
mormon people to D. H. Wells in 1873
upon his release from the penitentiary.
James +. Talmage, principal of the NOR
mon college in this city, was then called
by the defense. He testified that the
pupils OF the schools were taught that the
revelation in regard to plural marriage
was from God; that the constitution when
properly administered did not interfere
with any revelations of God The witness
said he believed polygamy was right and
the law against it unconstitutional, not
withstanding the decision of the supreme
court of the United States. All pupils
were taught to obey the revelation of
celestial marriage. The witness thought
that about one in thirty of his friends
were polygamists. He believed the presi-
dent of the church was divinely called
and would obey him.

absurd. The elections are conducted under
strictly secret ballot system, so that no man
knows how his neighbor votes. All the man.
agement of elections down 10 the smallest de-
tails is in the hands Of the officers of the L. :.
government and their appointees. True, the
mormons ere, to a considerable degree, united
in their political affairs. This is largely due to
their being constantly and vindictively assailed
by small minority In Utah who have sought
TO wrest the control of public affairs from the
hands OF the majority. They. have thus been
driven together by common interest and COM
PEELED to distinguish their friends from their
enemies.
A good deal is being made of form of
prayer based upon two verses OF the sixth
chapter of the Revelations of st. John as con-
tanned in the new testament. 1t relates to pray
ing that God might avenge the blood of the
prophets. An attempt has, | see, been made
to connect this with avenging the death of
Joseph and Hiram Smith and TO have reference
TO this nation. 1t can have no such appllca-
ton, as the endowments were given long before
the death of Joseph and Hiram Smith, and
have not been changed. This nation or govern
ment has never been charged by the mormon
people with the assassination OF Joseph and
Hiram Smith, as it is well known the murder
was the act of a local mob disguised.
Concerning the cry about blood atonement
there is this: The foundation of our religious
faith is belief in the atoning blood of Christ
through which the resurrection will be brought
about. We believe in the scripture doctrine,
whose shedeth mans blood by man shall his
blood be she'd" but we also believe that all
executions for murder should be under the
law of the land and by its officers only. State
ments made by two three apostate mormon
witnesses, to the effect that the endowment GER
monies involved the death penalty upon those
who leave the church and disobey the priest
hood, are simply untrue.
The cause of the present agitation is purely
political. There are two local parties. The
peoples party is composed largely of our peo-
pie, although a number of non-mormons SYM
pathlze with it. The self.styled liberal party
is composed almost entirely of autonomous
and they are but a small minority il the terri
tory. There will be a municipal election next
February. The present proceedings have been
instituted by the anti-mormons as a means TO
enable them to carry the election. Doubtless
the agitators have also in view the approaching
