Keformed hy ms WHO.

William Smith, at one time United States
Senator from South Carolina, wast IN his
youth, a wild fellow-as he himself expressed
it, wild reckless Incorporate, rude aud
boisterous." But he had a good wife who
never upbraided him, anu vino finally re-
formed him.
The evening before the session Of the Court
of Common Pleas client called upon him,
with fifty notes to be put in suit Mr., Smith
was not in his office; he was on what is com
monty called spree
Mrs. Smith received the notes, and sat
down to the work of issuing the writs and
processes. She spent the night at work,
while Mr.. Smith was spending it in ''riotous
living
|, At daybreak, on his way home from his
carousals, lie saw a light in his office, and
went in. To his surprise, there sat his wife,
who had Just completed what ought to have
been his work, and who had fallen asleep
with her head ON the table. His entrance
awoke her, and she showed him her nights
work-iifty writS and processes.
This was too much for the strong man. He
fell on his knees, imp ored her pardon, and
promised never t. drink another drop. He
kept his word, and from that day prosperity
attended him.-Chicuqo Herdld.

DETERMINED RASCALS.
Lawyers on the Defense in the Cronin Trial
Commit "A Nervy Act.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-There was a sensa-
tional affair at the Carlson cottage, the sup
posed scene Of the Cronin murder. tonight.
Lawyer Forrest, of the defense. with three
companions, drove up to the cottage early
this evening, and paying the usual admis
sion fee, entered. Mr. and Mrs. Lindgren,
the son-in-law and daughter of
the old Carlson couple were
the only other persons In the cottage at
time. They gave the visitors the usual
description of the suppositious incidents
of the murder, pointing out the blood
stains. These latter are enclosed by
wooden railing to keep relic hunters out.
Forrest asked Lindgren of the whereabouts
of O'Sullivan's house, and Lindgren
accommodatingly escorted him to the win
dow and described the locality, and while
engaged, Forests companion jumped over
the railing and with sharp tools proceeded
to remove from the floor and wall pieces con-
tanning blood stains Lindgren after vain
ly trying to make them deslst shouted for
assistance Old man Carlson came running
in with that cracked revolver but Forrest 5
companions seized and disarmed him.
Forrest has been endeavoring for some time
to secure possession of these specimens
from the cottage, presumably to use as an
exhibit IN the trial. but the Carlson 5 have
persistently refused to let him have them
and Judge Mcconnell declined to issue an
order compelling them to do so.

that he derived his SoubrieQuet of Sun
set Cox. From 1857 until 1865 he served
IN congress us a democrat, and during the
war by voice and by vote he did all that he
could for Its vigorous prosecution, forming
all plans to raise both men and money
though at times sharply criticising the
conduct of the administration. In 1866
he moved TO New York city and
IN 1868 was elected to congress
serving for twelve wears with
but two years intermiSSion. In 1885. he
was appointed minister to Turkey hv
President Cleveland, but resigned mt the
expiration of one year and was again
elected to congress in 1886 and reelected
last fall. Mr.. Cox has a reputation of
being an eloquent, entertaining and
humorous speaker, and has been the author
of many notable works. the most important
of which, under the title of Three Decades
of Federal Legislation" covered the time
from 1855 to 1885. During his congress
Sional career he had been one of the ahleSt
of the democratic leaders and his voice will
be much missed in the halls of legiSla-
ton.

condition was apparently unchanged. His

Attorney Forrest s raid on the Carlson
cottage in order to obtain some speci-

talked about while waiting for the opening
of court.
Judge Longeneckcr. however. would not
talk about it, neither would he assist Carl

Mr. Carlson will probably proceed against
Mr. Forrest for trespass, and the lawyer
will be defendant as well as attorney.

CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. "a brutal and
horrible murder was committed this morn
ing at Leconey's Mill, two miles beyond
Merchantville. Annie Leconey, % years
old. and niece and housekeeper of Cholk-
ley Leconey, the miller, had her throat cut
from ear to ear by brute who first at
tempted to outrage her, and after the
murder added robbery to his crime. Le-
coney and colored farm hand named
Murray ate breakfast early this morning.
and went out into the field to gather mel
ons for the market The niece remained
alone in the farmhouse. waiting for anoth-
er cOlored farmland named Frank Lingo
to come to breakfast An hour later Liz
zie O'Donnell, girl residing on neigh
boring farm. came to Leconey's house and
found Annie's corpse weltering in blood
on the floor She ran into the field
and summoned LecOney and Murray.
Lingo was arrested this afternoon while at

family. He left his home at o'clock this
morning to go to work on the Harm farm
and claims to have arrived there at 6:15 and
that he had not left it until arrested. The

guilty. He is of pheasant disposition

The BIDS for the tive new steel cruisers
were SO much above the department eSti-
mates that they were not accepted and the
bids were ordered re-opened with some
notifications in the specifications These
related mostly to lower rate of speed than
was demanded in the first distance. There
was also different arrangement for pen
altieS and premiums for excess or deficiency
in speed. This. the New York Times
thinks, will produce bids within the limits
fixed by Congress.
OF the vessels now under construction all
have been delayed and the contract time
extended owing to the unprepared condi.
tion of the country at the time to build Steel
vessels. The Petrol is still more than 4

more, the Concord and Bennington are still
unfinished. the last two not having been
launched yet, nor have the SAN Francisco

pired last October. The guns for these
vessels are still in the future.
