The Murphy Tragedy.

There appears to be a good deal of SYM
patty in the little town of Murphy, N. c.,
for Lillian S. Gould, who killed her bus
band, Clarence Gould, there the other day
with toy dagger, which she habitually
carried in her belt. 1t is not yet clear
whether or not she deserves all the sym
pathy she is receiving. There is no doubt
that her husband was a brute, and that he
treated her with the greatest cruelty. The
story of the tragedy and also Mrs. Gould's
story of her life have already been told in
the MORNING NEWS. The story of her
first appearance in New York. is told in
Mondays WOrld.
1t appears that her passage to this country
was paid by the overseers OF the poor of
London. She was an inmate of London
poorhouse, the authorities of which were
anxious to get rid of her. She and Gould
were married in India and he took her
to his relatives in England. These relatives
do not appear to have treated her kindly
and her husband finally deserted her aud
came to this country. The English relatives
got rid of her somehow and she finally
found herself in a London poorhouse.
When she reached this country her good
looks and pretty manners attracted the
attention of the Castle Garden authorities.
who undertook to help her find her hus-
band. They discovered him at Marietta.
Ga, and notified him to send money to paw
the expenses of his wife to that place. He
promised to do so, but did not. In the
meantime, Mrs. Gould drank so much alco-
holic beverages Of one kind and another
that she had an attack of delirium tremeus,
and was sent to an lnebriate asylum. The
Castle Garden authorities, to get rid of her,
paid her expenses to Marietta. Her story
after arriving there until she killed her
husband is pretty well known.
1t is probable that her plea of self-defense
to the charge of numbering her husband
was good one, but the story of her life in
New Y ork, as told in the World, shows
that she is not a saint by any means. She
has knocked about the world a great deal
and has seen much of the worst side of it.
The thing she seems the most concerned
about now is her chance of getting share
of her husbands estate. He appears to
have belonged to good family and, it is
said, left considerable property. There are
many queer characters wandering about
the world, some of whom are brought
conspicuously into public notice by such
tragedies as that at Murphy.

singing controversy now going on between
those two great opponents of physical cult
ure, the Hon. William Muldoon and the

Tillman recently denounced the Hon. W.

cause. The latter denied this charge ill a
letter which the Charleston NeUS and
Courier published under the caption: HE

crum has nothing to do with him. He has
caught Tillman in so many willful, deliber-

the great bamboozer as e moral leper. u

Mark Twain's Story in New Dress

Mark Twain's Story in a New Dress
Some time ago General Manager Plough of
the Duluth road H. C. Wilson, the commercial
agent and Messrs Williams and Cooper went
out to White Bear lake on a little fishing excur
sion, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press Arrived
there they divided into two parties of two and
secured a boat and oarsmau for each, Plough
aud Wilson being in one boat and Messrs. Will
Jams and Cooper in the other. There was a
bottle in which the fishermen were deeply inter
ested, and il WAS arranged, after the boats were
anchored near each other and the lines thrown
out, that whenever one of the sportsman caught
fish he should have an interview with
the bottle. Mr.. Williams caught croppie and
quickly extracted the cork and SOME of
the contents Then the fish played shy
and the deferred hopes of the, fishermen
made their hearts sick, until the fertile brain of
the railroad manager, inspired by visions which
promised to come from that bottle, as the spirit
escaped from the jar in the Arabian Nights -
conceived a beautiful plan. Williams and
Cooper were watching the hobs with painful
care, and had their backs turned Mr.. Plough
deity tiirted his hand over to the bov who
rowed their boat and gave him G. wink which
would have thrown old maid into commissions
The boy was equal to the emergency, and hook
ing the one poor little croppie, the only trophy
of an hour S exciting sport on the hook lowered
it into the water Il think I've got a bite
cautiously propounded the railroad man. He
played it (ani the crowd beautifully and in a
moment the croppie was swung into the boat
III trouble you Tor that bottle, casually re-
marked the manager as he reached toward Mr.
Williams and robbed him of the flask as he had
robbed him of the fish.
Then Mr.. Wilson caught the fish and then Mr.
Plough caught the fish, in fact they caught that
fish so frequently it was almost simultaneous
until the bottle was empty, during which while
the other party wondered why all the fish pre-
ferred the other boat and its occupants
After they reached the shore and had par
taken OF a dinner, Mr.. Williams sent boy after
the fish. He returned with one croppie whose
mouth resembled a sieve, it had 50 many holes
in it.
Where's that big string of fish the other
boat caught was his prompt interrogatory.
This is all there was mister" was the an
swer.
Mr.. Williams carefully inspected the single
speclmeo, and from that day to this he eschews
the subject of croppies in his conversation.

The republicans may yet discover that
they counted their chickens before the eggs
were Matched when they figured on North
Dakota as sure to go republican next fall.
The democratic national committee has
decided to take charge of the campaign in
that state, with the intention to placs it,
together with Montana, in the democratic
column. There is an irreconcilable split
among the republicans regarding the state
nominations and on the liquor question.
Prohibition is to be the main issue, and the
democracy will declare unequivocally for
license. With a reasonably good ticket and
platform that will meet with the approval
of the party at large, the democrats stand a
good chance to carry the state.

Georgia not only heads the south in rail-
road building this year, but the whole
United States. Georgia has built 1873 miles,
North Carolina comes next with 1914 miles
and Tennessee follows with 149 miles Con-
pared with the progress in railroad con-
sJruction in the west and northwest the
contrast is very striking. California built
only one mile, Minnesota two, South Dakota
one, Utah two, Ohio seven and Wisconsin
sixteen. The total mileage of railroads
constructed IN the country this year is !, S9S,
and Of this total the south has built l, ia
miles 1t is a solid south. indeed-solid in
progress and in industrial and business
growth.

Col Thomas G. Jones, the democratic
nominee for governor of Alabama, has
written a letter in reply to several inquiries,
in which he declares his opposition to the
sub-treasury bill In his judgment it
would prove of great evil to all southern
people, and especially hurtful to farmers.
Any legislation, however, ito protect the
people from usurious rates and overcharges
by railroad corporations" will have his CO.
operation, he says. There can be no doubt,
after such an expression of opinion, about
Col Jones position on the sub-treasury
scheme.

A Tried Remedy for silionsness.

Those who suffer from disorder or inaction of
the liver will never get the upper hand of the
unruly organ so long as they use such irrational
remedies as blue pills, calomel and podophyllin.
But from the tried and popular medicine.
Hostetter's Stomach Btters, they may expect
relief with a certainty of obtaining it. The
influence of the Bitters upon the great hillary
gland is direct, powerful and speedily felt. The
rehet afforded is not spasmodic, but complete
and permanent The saIlowness of the skin,
furred appearance of the tongue, indigestion,
costiveness, headache, nausea, pains through
the right side and shoulder, in fact every &C
compartment of the obstinate complaint are
entirely and promptly removed by course of
this inestimable medicine, in behalf of which
testimony is constantly emauatipg from every
quarter, and from all classes of society.-Adtj

Mrs. John w. Mackay and her friends
feel called upon again to deny the printed
statement concerning Mrs. Mackay's de-
scent and early life. Mrs. Mackay says she
never was a washerwonan and never sold
pies in the mining camps of Californ ia.
Mrs Mackay makes herself ridiculous by
these continual denials. While she never
took in washing for living aud never sold
pies in mining camps, her mother, it is said,
did, and very honest and highly-respectsd
woman her mother was The papers of the
Pacific coast have repeatedly printed this
story and challenged Mrs Mackay to con-
tradict it. While Others pride themselves
on having risen from poverty to affiuence
by honest efforts, Mrs. Mackay seems TO be
ashamed of her success in this respect, and
as long as she continues to deny the story
the newspapers will publish it.

Why He ReiOiced.

After Abe Busting and John MacPhean dis
agrred-chiehy owing to little disturbance In
which the latter burst open the formers head
with beer bottle MacPhelan left town, says
the PttSburg DLspd 'ch. II was in those remote
days when the Allegheny Valley railroad was
unfortunate. Collisions and derailments were
so numerous that many people maintained that
the A. V. r. r. stood for A Very Rough Rail
road. That's all changed now, of course, and
better railroad does not exist. The train which
took MacPhelan out of town was wrecked, and
that big, quarrelSome individual was taken out
from under several cars in about twenty pieces
The first man In town to hear the sad news
was the postmaster, Mr. Brown. He got it
from the telegraph operator at the station, and
started out to fulfill his duty as a dispenser of
live news. Up the street he met Abe Busting,
and he received the news strangely. A beauti-
full smile spread over his features. He took off
his hat anu rubbed the scar made by the beer
bottle before he took Mr.. Browns arm aud
said: 1T amt guy you're givin' me? Is Mac
dead?"
Sure enough he's dead" replied Mr. Brown
Then I'll set up the wine, and Abe pulled
the astonshed postmaster into the saloon out
side which they had been talking.
There were several men lounging about the
bar and Abe invited them to drink.
Bring out your champagny,n he said to the
bartender; and then, turning again to Mr..
Brown he asked: "Ar yer sure Macs dead?-
the mean, Sneakin, murdherin' varmint?"
Cut all to pieces" replied Mr. Brown; ''the
papersll have all about it tomorrow"

Abe, warming up, THE biggest blackguard

So it went on till six empty quart bottles
showed that a little wine had been drunk
With every round Abe Busting grew hotter and
wilder in his denunciation Of his dead foe. All
at once his face paled and his hand TREMENDOUSLY
reached for Postmaster Browns shoulder, and
he asked in hoarse whisper: rs Mac dead

According to our dispatches the English
government has decided to adhere to its
proposal for November sitting of parlia-
ment The November session was no doubt
decided upon by the ministry in order to
gain time for the recovery of its lost pres
tige and power. The ministerialists rely
upon mastering sufficient strength to pass
the land purchase bill at the fall session,
and will then, probably, be able to intro
duce and partially discuss the question of
Irish local government, which will enable
them to defend and explain their course in
this matter. They can do nothing at pres
ent-the obstructionists will not permit
them to pass fny measure. Whatever the
ministry has done during the last fortnight
has been done TO save itself from further
defeat or complete overthrow.

The decree of the pope in the case of DR..
Burtsell, of New York, who was removed
by Arcn bishop Corrigan to a rural pastor
ate as a punishment for expressing too
freely his opinion of the powers of the
church, is more sweeping in its effect than
was at first thought. The archbishop's
sentence is not only affirmed, but the re-
bellious pastor is condemned to make an
acknowledgment of his submission to the
archbishop and to write a complete apology.
The propaganda tfde will then decide
whether his retraction aud apology are
sufficient. The Roman Catholic church
evidently does not intend TO have any
American Savoaarolas All who owe allie
glance to tine church must submit to her
rulers. Their will is supreme
