The StfyIweH Mystery.

Hannibal, Mo-, January 17.-Geo. Glib
SON, a colored man, was arrested last even
ing al Frankfort and brought to this city
during the night. He had been sus-
picioned of being implicated in the MUIR
der of A. J. Stillwell, and the Frankfort
oficers made the arrest on the supposition
that he was wanted for that terrible crime,
but in this they over-stepped the mark.
When they arrived and announced that
Gibson was the murderer, the people who
had not retired for the night went wild
with excitement But this morning when
the matter was investigated and it was
found that Giblon's arrest was contrary
to the plan of the detectives,
who simply telegraphed to Frankfort to
have Gibson detained until a detective
could go there and secure his statement as
to his whereabouts On the night of the
murder. The only evidence which the de-
tectiyes have that duplicates Gibson is that
he was on the streets on the night of the
murler for several hours, and that he told
conflicting stories as to his whereabouts.
He received an intimation that the de-
tectives desired to see him, and fed from
the city. He is still held on a trivial
charge and the detectives are investigating
mis- statements, but the impression prevails
that he had nothing to do with the Still
well murder, which is as much of a mys-
terry as ever.

her alone she would have killed him.

the bed where Lou cursed him again, and
told him to "get of her clothes and 60 on,
of doors and die" The injured man was
attended by physician, but yeste rday he
died. A Coroner's jury was empanelled,
and after careful investigation, held her
for willful murder.

A HUSBANDS Wealth.
The Residents of Lincolnville
Scandalized by a Lively
Domestic Episode.

The loud report of pis tol, the
crash of breaking glass and a woman's
shrill screams attracted the attention
of few pedestrians this morning in
the suburbs OF Lincolnville bat as
disturbances of the kind are not in
frequent little attention was paid to
the matter, until the facts
leaked out, few hours later.
1t appears that Jake Jarvis, a
brakeman on the Missouri Pacific,
married woman of the town in Kan
City, a short time ago and rented a
cottage in Lincolnville, where the two
commenced housekeeping. All went
well for time and the woman seemed
to have thoroughly reformed, when a
former lover, also a railroad man, ap-
peared on the scene. Owing to Jarvis
freqent absences from home, the intru,
der was often enabled to visit Mrs.
Jarvis, and the latter soon forgot her
allegiance to her husband and yielded
to the destinations of her old lover.
Yesterday morning about 5 o'clock
Jarvis returned home Unexpectedly,
his suspicious having been previously
aroused, and found his wife in a COM
promising position with her visitor.
Hastily drawing a revolver, Jarvis
fired several shots at the destroyer of
his peace, one of which lodged in his
shoulder. Mrs. Jarvis at this june.
ture threw her arms around
her husband and thus
prevented a probably fatal termi-
nation to the affair. The wounded
man escaped through window, after
having broken the glass in his hasty
exit
Jarvis and his wife have separated,
but the latter has made up with her
old lover and the twain in company
left the city on one of the morning
traias,
Jarvis vii: remain in Sedalia and
seek relief, through the mer.
cies of the divorce court, from his un-
fortunate matrimonial venture.

DESPERADOES
Come Near Causing q Terrible

Yesterday.

Raleigh, N. c., January 17.-Sunday

pending riot at Scuffietown, In Robson
county, near the South Carolina line, and
of the desperate work of a mob of armed
Croatan Indians there. Last night de-
tailed news of the affair was brought here
by deputy sheriff. For some time past
in that section justices of the peace have
been besieged with complaints of threats.

bloodshed. 1t now appears that
an imitator of the famous

in the person of Steve Jacobs. 1t

years ago and tried to kill Hecton Lock-
lear, who be thought was trying to betray
him. He was shot down and captured by
Hector, and afterwards served term In
the penitentiary for the offense. Since
that time he as operated in South Carolins,
where he has become an oatlsw, and q
reward is offered for his capture. He
again decided that Hector Lockleas
wanted to capture him. Last Friday
night he took with him his nephew,
Purdie Jacobs, and one Mitchell, and
went to Prospect school house, where
a debate was IN progress, and endeav-
ored to induce Hector to come out. Fail
ing in their object, the three desperadoes

TELEPHONE REGULATION.
The Indiana Law on the Subject
Commented on by Its
Author.

ots LOUIS ISstDASpdtCuJ
Fielding Mansfield, president of
the Telephone Subscribers association,
wrote to Indiana recently for informa-
ton regarding the working of the
telephone regulation law there. The
following reply was received by him
from s. w. Williams of Vincennes,
the author of the law:
DEAR SIR Il introduced in the legisla-
ture of this state (Indiansl in 1885 a bill
for an act to regulate the tolls and charges
of telephone companies in this state. 1t
passed and has been the law eyer since.
The Indiana supreme court has repeatedly
held it to be constitutional. / take the
liberty of handing you copy of
it, hoping that you will frame
a bill of like character ard
secure its passage in your state: you
certainly need it. The law has worked
well here and we have better telephone
service now than before. The telephone
company tried hard and spent much
money to have it repealed, but failed In
the effort fyou will investigate the sub
ject and business you will find that SO per
month will pay them handsome dividends
on their actual investm Mt. The strongest
argument is that the America Bell 1ele-
phone company, of Boston, exacts a fixed
royalty rom them of SIC per annum for
each telephone used. This statement is
III bosh. The only royalty they pay is a
CERTAIN percentage of their gross receipts.
i will gladly furnish you any information
I We on this subject. Yours,
s. w. WILLIAMS.

DeTOtiOn to Athletics.

Ten hundred and twelve Harvard
students have given answers relative
to the time-eXpense of intercollegiate
contests outside of Cambridge.
Assuming that students have fourteen
exercises per week, or two and d half
exercises per day, the 1,012 students
have missed 1,054 exercises, or, ON the
average, each student has missed
slightly more than one exercise, $50
have missed less than the work of one
day, 70 less than two days, 63 less
than three days, IL less than four
days, 6 less than a week, more than
Il week. Five hundred and sixty stu
dents have attended no such contests,
254 have attended but one, 122 have
attended but two, 81 have attended
but three, eighteen have attended but
four, 6 have attended but five, | has
attended but six.
This will be a revelation to the Az
erage man, who thinks Harvard boys
are devoted exclusively to athletics.
Of the 9S4 students reporting rela-
tive to their attendance upon athletic
contests not intercollegiate, in Cam
bridge, 80 have attended no contests,
Is but l, 81 but 2, SO but 3. Six
hundred and twenty-six have attended
less than IL; 53S more than IL; 1877
attended all the contests; more than
60 attended between 90 and 80 con-
tests. Of 1,O33 reporting in regard to
their attendance upon intercollegiate
contests in Cambridge, 70 attended no
such contests; 2l5 attended all; 67S
attended less than 10; 354 more
than 10.
College athletes testify that album
dant systematic training for work on
the team, crew, etc, is beneficial phys
ically, mentally and morally; that
they enjoy better health, gain in
weight and strength, accomplish more
in their studies, enjoy intellectual eff
fort more, and take a higher stand
because of it.
