Fulton street, Mrs. Hannah Southworth
palled large Smith & Wesson revolver
from beneath her dress and fired tive shots
at Stephen l. Pettus, Secretary and Treasu-
rer Of the Brooklyn Union Elevated Rail
road Company. Although he fell at the
first shot the woman continued firing until
every chamber OF the revolver was empty.
As the victim writhed and tossed in agony
upon the sidewalk, the woman looked calm
and selfpossessed. and actually smiled with
apparent satisfaction.
Mr.. Peitus died almost Immediately. The
woman was placed under arrest, and, while
being conveyed to prison, she exclaimed :
He ruined me; he dishonored me- She
was well dressed, and wore a long sealskin
cloak trimmed with fur.
Mrs. Southworth assaulted Mr. Pettus
with an umbrella, last May, on Sands streets
was fined $50 and placed under bonds to
keep the peace Mr.. Peiiuss brother, from
Tennessee, came to the siStion house at IL
O'Clock He broke completely down when
told of the tragedy, tore his hair and begged
that his wife should not be told that his
brother had been killed by woman. The
dead man left no children.
Mrs. SouthwOrih was committed without
bail, and the case will come up before Coro.
ner Levy st II a. m., Tuesday. She is a ma
tive Of Kentucky. Her fathers name was
Martin. At the time the family left Louis
+, vile Mrs. Souihworth was a little girl, and

! Southworth while on a visit to her uncle the
late Judge Torrey, at his residence in Gene
va, n Y, and was married TO him some two
years after. Mr. South worth died within a
year. Mrs. Southworth then returned to

father died a few years ago. She then. with
her mother and brothers, came to Brooklyn
TO live.

are marked Southworth vs. Pettus. One is

THE empire was peace. and the repuo-
lie Is peace in Brazil Never was an en-
pire administered by more democratic
ruler than Dom Pedro never was re-
public more conservative OF ancient
rights than thai which hassucceeded this
empire. That The revolution has been
bloodless is due in part to the education
in practical democracy which Brazil has
undergone during the long and prosper
ous reign Of the now deposed monarch.
Itisa reign to whose memory not Bra
zilians alone but all friends Of progress
will turn lovingly in centuries TO come.
1t is q reign in which slavery has been
abolished, commerce developed, science
made popular. schools encouraged, and
religion cherished, while the isolation OF
the church from the state has been made
complete.
II would have been more fit II the
aesthetic relation Of things that the GOOD
Dom Pedro should have died an ernpe-
ror. and the republic have been his nat
ural heir, as it were But "time and tide
for no man wait, and the time and TIDE
of republicanism had come 70 Brazil. 1t
Is probable that had it been certain that
the legitimate successor 10 Dom Pedro
would have been as liberal as himself
the revolution might have been delayed !;
but it seemed to those who had the best
chance Of seeing that the legitimate sue
cessor would be reactionary ruler In
such case II would have required arms
and blood to achieve that which has now
been accomplished peacefully. Besides
which. the testimony Of ex-Presi1 dent
HAYES indicates that the Emperor was
republican at heart man quite as ready
to resign as his subjects were TO accept
his resignation. Be that as it may, the
empire dies with dignity. the Emperor
becomes even more illustrious as citi-
zen than as a ruler and the republic be-
comes an accepted fact more easily than
any other political fact Of equal import
ever has been accepted.

A woIf in sheep.s Clothing.


SAN FRANcIsoo, Nov. 2i.-Charles Mont
gomery. the owner of the American Ex-
change Hotel in this city, has made state
ment showing that be has been the victim
OF a confidence operator who has succeeded
in swindling him out Of about $4,000 and
forcing him 10 make an assignment.
Over two years ago he met a young man
giving the name of f Glencross Grant, who
had identified himself with the Young Mems
Christian Association. Montgomery formed
a partnership with him in the agricultural
implement business. The company was
known as the Bull & Grant Farm Employ
ment Company, with stores in this city and
Los Angeles. Grant was placed in charge of
the Los Angeles store.
Montgomery, who furnished the capital,
recently discovered that Grant had contract
ed debts and appropriated the proceeds from
the sale Of the machinery, amounting 10
about $40 000 II has been discovered that
Grants real name is GlencrOss, and that he
committed similar oflenses in London and
fed to this country under the name of E1-
ward Glencross.

Held IN e Mob at Bay.


WASHINGTON. Nov. Attorney General
Miller has received from Mr. Eugene Mar.
shall, United States Attorney for the North
ern District Of Texas, most extraordinary
statement which is characterized By promi.
nent Southern Democrats here as a sheer
fabrication, intended wholly to induce the
President TO interfere. According to the
statement Of Mr. Miller, as four brothers
named Marlowe, who were held as Govern
ment witnesses in pending suits, we're being
conveyed from the Jail at Graham to a place
Of greater security they were attacked en-
route by mob and fierce fight ensued.
Two Of the Marlowes were killed at the
first onslaught. The other two wres:ed
weapons from their assailants, with which
they amputaied the feet of their dead broth.
ers TO whom they were nanacleSi, and then
fled to a neighboring farmhouse. where they
held the mob at bay until assistance arrived.
Three Of the mob were killed and number
were wounded. Among those who have
since been indicted for completely in this a.
tack on government prisoners, the District
Attorney says, are two constables, the sher-
i'll, deputy sheriff, the county attorney and
a son of the county judge.

How the census is Taken.


The machinery for taking the census is
comparatively simple. The Superintendent
has divided the whole country into l75 dis
iriess. There are ten Of these districts in
Pennsylvania. For each District Super
visor viii be appointed next January. The
duties Of Supervisor are many and varied.
He subdivides his district into enumerstors'
| divisions. He recommends lists of persons
for appointment as Eaumerators; he scIu-
tinizes their work and furnishes them their
schedules, and forwards the completed re-
turns to Superintendent Porter An emu
merator, as q rule, comes into contact with
only about one in seven of the population.
He carries with him schedules of population
Of agriculture, manufacturers, OF morality
and vital statistics, aud schedules relating
10 deaf blind and insane, as well as of crim-
inals. At the close Of every day of labor he
must, as has been stated, report by postal
card to his Supervisor and to Saperintend-
ent Porter. The Enumerator must perform
his work in fifteen days in the city and tAir-
~ days in the country. Every citizen is
Obliged TO answer his questions, or suffer a
fine of 500. Next year several million fam.
lily schedules will be distributed in advance
Of the Enumerators visits and at many
houses they will find these blal.ks already
filed out, thus greatly facilitating the work
In special cases, where money is needed for
horse-hire and other expenses, aa Eaumera.
tor may be paid by the day, not to exceed So.
The great body Of enumeraiors will be paid:
For every living person, two cents iof
every death, two cents for every firm, if-
teen cents (; for every factory, twenty cents /;
for each veteran or veterans widow. FIVE
cents.

IE concluding his address at the Prison
Congress in Nashville, ex-President
HAYES referred 10 the recent fatal encoun-
ter between Colonel Goodloe and Colonel
Swope, at Lexington, Kentucky, and as
serted that change Of public sentiment
was necessary to eradicate such evils.
Every good man and every good wom-
an would sustain the man who refused 10
violate the law by using deadly weapons
10 remedy a wrong inflicted by mere
words written or spoken. Men in public
places should speak out on this subject.
Where is the indecent craven that will
insult nan Of whom il is known that
he will not, TO avenge personal wrongs,
resort to the use Of deadly weapons? From
the moment that man makes known
his intention 10 be thus free from the vi
olatisn Of the law he is safe from any
man having character enough to insult
anybody"
These words are as well timed as they
are true. The time has passed IN TINS
country when man like Aaron Burr can
slay msn like Alexander Hamilt,n un-
der the mere pretense Of wiping out an
imagined insult. The killing Of Hanil-
ton made dueling hateful and mean in
the eyes Of the people in the North The
killing Of Senator Broderick in CAlifor-
mia, even in the pioneer days, made
Judge Terry 3 murderer in the eyes Of
the hardy pioneers il is only in the
South that the code dselIo has had any
recognition Cor 8 generation past, and
the horrible affair as Lexington ought 70
give suslling iss death blow in kentneky
and throughout the Southern States.

ers Grault and Schinze, of the Algerian Mis-
sien. Stanley left Mpwapwa on the 18th,
travelling toward the coast by way Of kem5a
and Mwemi. Stanley made an unexpected
discovery Of real valne in finding an exten-
sion OF the Victoria Nyanza toward the
southwest. The utmost southerly reach OF
the extension is south latitude two degrees
fony-eight minutes. This brings the Yicio-
ria Nyanza within 155 miles Of Lake Tan
ganyika. The area Of the extension is 26s-
600 square miles"
According to further adyioes received by
the Foreign Office, Stanley has with him
$50 persons, of whom 29o are Emin's fol-
lowers. There are also sixty children in the
party. Stanley lost only eighteen men dur
ing the march from the Victoria Nyanza- He
had four days fighting near Usncama- The
expedition is expected to arrives al Bagamoyo
/ in a fortnight.

A Mothers Awful Deed.

MosHERvILLE, MICK November Ca
CHASTITY affair occurred here tonight. During
the absence Of her husband Mrs. Nathan
Strang flied two tumblers with a solution
of paris green, and handing one 10 her
daughter Maud, handsome girl Of eighteen
and taking the other herself, she drank her
own dose and forced the girl at the muzzle
Of a revolver to swallow the fatal dranght.
On her husbands return she told him what
she had done. A doctor was summoned.
but his Efforts were Of no avail. Mrs. strang
died at midnight in horrible sgony, and
Maud an hour later Maud insisted TO the
last that her mother forced her to drink the
poison. and said she did not want 10 die.
The insanity which lei to the awful act has
been clearly marked for about two weeks.

ing in the night Of senili,y- 1t is painful to
hear that she was followed by a rabble Of
rude boys when she recently wandered from

brother, was happier far in his fate Death
surprised him with al his harness on. This

siderations which make calamity Of 50 long

U. S. DISTRICT ATToRSEY LYoN, OF Pitts
burgh, has completed his arrangements
for bringing suit against the Jeannetie
glass blowers for violating the contract
labor law. It is to be hoped this report
is true. And If it is, let the yiolators OF
this law be prosecuted to conviction and
punishment. Much Of the trouble with
labor in this country grows out Of these
contract imporations, and the parties
guilty ought TO be punished so severely
that the practice would be stopped

land Confederate Regiment on Gettysburg
battlefield. in proximity to monument
erected bT q loyal Maryland regiment and
Governor Beavers Endorsement ofthe Posts
action.
General Bradley T. Johnson, who COM
maaded the Maryland line in the Confeder-
ate army. has written United States Senator
Butter declaring that the war was urged by
the North for profit, and that the agitation
since has been kept up with view OF pro-
noting the pension business. To this Seua'
tor Butler has replied in q style which may
be judged from this extract of speech
made by him upon the same topic at re-
uni5n Of survivors Of the Tenth South Caro-
lima Regiment which has just closed at
Georgetown
The only questions that we're at issue and
settled, as lar As the gage OF Datte eau seale
anything, were, first, that the primary ale
glance Of the citizen is due TO the Federal
rather than the State Government second,
that secession was not the practicable and
proper remedy for evils complained Of and,
third that slavery was at an end, the latter
resulting as measure and means of war,
and not ss & matter OF constitutional right
or law. We accept in good faith all three as
final and binding upon US for all time, but
We concede nothing more, and no patriotic
fair-minded man would demand more"
Afler referring to Abe Patterson Post as
illustrating the cowardiee and ferociiy ofthe
hyena and saying that Governor Beaver is
not far behind them, the Senator added
But let US dismiss the subject with the
hope that no other Confederate organization
will accept an invitation to erect another
monument outside the Southern borders.

lence and insult. They have inscribed their

The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1889-11-27

A PIERCE faction fight is being waged
ny the Democracy of Pennsylvania over
the coming Gubernatorial election. Hon.
William l. Scott, who ladled cut the
patronage among the faithful in this
State during the Cleveland sdniinistra-
tion. has whetted his knife and is after
the scalp Of Hon. William A. Wallace,
who has the presumption to aspire TO the
nomination for Governor next year.
Scott is noted more for his money than
for his brains, and will probably make il
quite lively for the ex-senator. The fun
OF the thing is that these gentlemen and
their followers should fight, just about
nothing. With eighty thousand of a
majority against them, it is most amusing
to see them squabble over who shall take
a licking. However, it is not our funeral,
and like the woman watching the fight
between her husband and bear, We
don't care darn which whips.

swim ashore, but the ilow was too strong,
and he was compelled 10 cling TO the boat.
With the two men seated in the trembling
craft and the third hanging on The stern the
boat was carried over the breast of the dam
and dashed sixteen feet into the water be-
low. Schweitzer and Hart struck out for
the shore, which they gained with difficulty
aud the other was carried with the craft
down the river. lie was rescued several
miles below. All the men were thoroughly
frightened, but not hurt.
