A CoLD.BLOODED SUGGESTION.
A Possibility of a Wife Murderer Making a
CInfm for Her Estnte.


An unusual question was raised yesterday
in the matter of the settlement of the estate
of Mrs. Annie Jones, who was murdered by
her husband two years ago at New Turner
Hall. Mrs. Jones was a sister Of Joseph
Cuneo.
MIR. james Flannery was administrator of
Mrs. Jones estate and John Marion, ESQ.,,
was Flannery's counsel The question
raised was that Jones, the slayer, had an in
terest in the estate, but as Messrs. Flannery
and Marron had no desire to see him assert
his right they finished the business and got
a decree and the assets are now secured to
the children.
Mr.. Reardon, who defended Jones, said
he hadn't got anything for his services, but
he made no claim. 1t isn't likely that
Jones will ever put in one anyhow, as he
has 10 years of prison life yet before him.
The estate is not large, and by the time he
is released the money will likely be spent
in the maintenance and education of the
children.

Sol smith Russell Next Week.

Ofthe few meritorious comedians upon the
American stage there is none whose humor
combines to such degree as does Mr.. Sol
Smith Russell's, the elements of versatility,
naturalness, spontaneity and delicacy. HIS
new play, "a Poor Relation" is said to be
BY far the best he has yet appeared in. and
combining pathos with quaint humor is ex-
actly suited to this great comedian. The
sale of seats opens this morning. The
Grand Opera House should have a very
large weeks business next week with Rus
sell as the attraction.

APPETITE is generally restored to
delicate children by the use-in tonic dose
of DR.. D. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge; and not
only an appetite, but strength and vigor as
we'll. While essentially a strengthener, it
is also an excellent vermifuge; and if these
pests of childhood are present, there is no
better, safer or cheaper remedy. Sold by all
druggists.
