MEDINA, n. Y, June 25.-Cora Grimes

but Is years old, and on numerous occasions
has purchased trinkets for her and shown
many little attentions to her. As the girl
grew older these attentions grew dlstasteful
to her, and Emery's regard ripened into a
wild love for the maiden.
Last night he came to see her while or
father and mother were away. A quarrel
enSued between them, and the girl started
to run into the mouse. Emery tried to
detain her, but she succeeded in avoiding
him. In few minutes she returned, and
bitter words passed between them. Emery
became wildly enraged, and picking up a
piece of plank, struck her on the head,
knocking her senseless.
The girls younger brother and an uncle
were present and attempted to interfere,
but were threatened with death by the man.
and they ran away. Z merry beat the girls
head into shapeless mass with a piece of
the end of a fence rail. When help arrived
the girl was dead.
Emery fed, and, as the story of the muir

ragged men with ropes and weapons w emit in
search of him. For protection he went to

up, replied that it was better AN living

He stated that he had not been feeling well
for three or four weeks, and had been
troubled with pains in his head and heart
and had often dropped unconscious upon

MARVIN CHURCH GROWING.
What Rev. 7. z. Davenport Is Doing
for II

for Il.
A pleasant entertainment was given al
Trinity Church Sunday-school rooms last
night for the benefit Of Marvin church. The
following interesting programme was car
ried out in a most satisfactory manner:
Quartette, by choir: my soul doth live In
thee
Duet. by Messrs. swanston: "Reaping.'
Recitation by Herman Parsons.
Duet. by Mr.. and Mrs W. Swanston-
'Life's Dream is Der. "-solo-Mss Lyons.
Nearer my God to Thee" by the choir
Recitation by Mr.. Parsons.
Duet-"Holy Mother Guide Him." by Misses
Lyon.
Quintette: "Oh! Lovely Zion"
The entertainment wis uader the super
vision Of Rev. T. E. Davenport, assistant
pastor of Trinity and pastor of Marvin
church. He was assisted by members of his
Sunday school and church, and also by
members of Trinity church. After the
exercises refreshments were served. A
large number Of people was in attendance,
and handsome sum was collected for the
little church.
Mr.. Davenport has had charge Of
Marvin church only a short while
but be has built it up remarkably since he
became its pastor. His earnest work for its
Improvement and advancement has brought
friends to his assistance aud his jealous eff
forts are bearing fruit. A new organ has
recently been purchased for the church,
and the greater portion of the building has
been painted. A new pulpit has been put
in and it will be carpeted in a short while.
The pastor said that it is his intention to
put additional lights in the house also.
The little church is down in Robertsville,
at the corner of Roberts and Cemetery
streets. For a good many years it was in
cold state, and little interest was ma IL
faStad nv the nnhlic living in tho raiOhhor-
hood. 1t has taken a new life, however,
since Mr.. Davenport has been pl ced over
it and its future is promising. Its success
is already attracting attention, and more is
heard of little Marvin church than was
ever before.

MUST DOWN tn 9 FENCE.
Suit over Street Closing in the King
Tract.


An interesting case was tried before JUS
tices Reynolds and Endres and jury Of
free holders yesterday which occupied the
entire forenoon and partial of the after
noon.
Maj. D. c. Bacon brought suit to compel
Ferdinand j. CRY to remove fences wnich
encroaches upon a public street between
lots and in the King tract south of the
city along the White Bluff and Middle
Ground road. The street is INSTRUCTED for
1,26S feet. 1t was sought to have the fenc.
ing removed as priva Q nuisance.
The plaintiff testified in his own behalf,
and County Engineer E. j. Thomas, DR..
Falligant and Isaac Beckett, ESQ.,, were
also witnesses for the plaintiff The de-
PENDANT made rather lengthy statement,
but had no witnesses. Maj. Bacon was
represented by A. H. MacDonell and Isaac
Beckett, aud Giry by P. j. O'Connor. The
latter claimed that the court had
no jurisdiction, as if the fence
encroachment were ''private
nuisance" as alleged in the declaration, the
city was the proper party to aba 9 it if the
defendant refused. The case went on, how
ever, and after argument by counsel, the
jury brought in a verdict to the effect that
the fence described in the petition of plain
titf is a nuisance, and that it must be
abated. The defendant was required to paw
the costs of the proceeding, but the
jury recommended that he be given
until Nov. next in which
to remove his crops al5 the Objectionable
fence, and Justices Reynolds and Endres
gave judgment for the plaintiff, in which
the time recommended was granted to get
the crop off the encroached ground and
move the fence.
Giry claims that the fence has been where
it is now for the past fourteen years. and
was there when he bought the tract three
years ago.

DIR. Mueller, an Australian physician,
has, according to the London hospital,
SUCCESSFULLY treated a number Of cases of
snakebite with strychnia- This he has done
on the hypothesis that the poison affects the
nerves, weakening and paralyzing them; in
fact, that the venom, is not, after all, poison
IN the common sense, and does MT d.
rectiy cause any change of tissue. Its effect
Is simply produced by the operation OF
dynamic force-that is, it suspends the
action OF the nerve cells for longer or
shorter period. Hitherto all antidotes have
been administered to the theory that the
virus affected the blood, and the most sue
cessful results have come from the admins
tration Of alcohol. which seemed to main
tain the strength of the Sufferer until the
poison was eliminated by natural means.
Dr. Mueller'S theory at first sight Is at
variance with the fact that the blood in case
OF snakebite does actually change, but his
explanation of the change is that the pull
monary capillaries. through which the blood
corpuscleS pass when going to the ludgs to
exchange the carbonic acid of effete blood
Tor fresh and life-gIvi q oxygen, have lost
toelr power. They owe the tension-thelr
healtny contracting power-to the influence
OF the Vaso-motor nerves, and when the
latter are paralyzed the corpuscles lose their
power, SO to speak, squeezing out by tho su-
pei huous carboaic acii, and leaving the cor
puscleS free to take up oxygen. Thus
the corpuscles pass through the lungs I'M
changed, carrying back to the heart blood
as full of car ionic ac.d as they brought
from 1t, and they themselves absolutely die,
bursting in consequence of this load of car
bonlc acid. DIR. Mueller's re nedy is the in
lection of strychnia by means of the hvpo-
dermic syringe, the application of artificial
heat, and the interference with the tenden-
cy of the patient to sleep. He thus sets uD
rival dynamic force which fights it out
with the original poison, and if the anti
dote is applied in time, generally with
