HOUSTON COUNTY.


CROCKETT, Tex, Aug. l2.-Probably the most
interesting election that ever occurred in Hous-
ton county was that held by the Democrats OF
this county last Saturday. 1t was their second
primary for the selection OF their nominees, and
upon its result depended who would serve the
people in the various county and precinct offices
for the next two years, for the nomination here
by the Democrats means an almost undisputed
claim in November. Notwithstanding the great
interest manifested, which in some instances
bordered close upon bitterness, the election
passed without unfortunate mishap. Some OF
the boxes are remote from the county seat con-
sequently the result has just been ascertained.
II is as follows: For representative, w. +.
Murcheson received majority in the first pri-
mary. For county judge, ]. NJ. Madden defeats
W. 4. Davis, majority "a. For county attorney,
John l. Moore defeats o. D. East, maj ority l66.

lector, Charles Long defeats j. &. Sheridan,

duchesses have no compassion. no tears, foI
the scores of Candles that l.nguish In the
city hospitals"
Turning next to the officials, be said:
Look st the men that have been elected to
cur council and civic chair. This city has
elected men from whose homes virtue has
fed men who have sought to Introduce the
Ottoman seraglio into our country, men
whose lives were perpetual defiance OF the
seventh canon of the decalogue These men,
whose immortality was flared La the very face
of heaven, have come forward again and
again. and have been elected and re elected
until it would seem as If vice Itself In this
city Of Montreal were one Of the credentials
for high office.
'And lool at the men that our city council
have aps-ointco 70 official positions -conpar
ions of the fast. toe dubiouS. the agshy
poker players SGT TO catch gamblers; men III
whose Office is the underground telegraph To
signalize the bagnio when rails are TO De
made"
He then impeaclled the voters of ''abDega-
ton of moral discrimination" a phrase to re-
mind an American of some recent high OH
cial remarks in his own happy land; told
them they had elected members of parlia-
ment and supported ministers in Office whose
foreheads bore the apocalyptic mark OF the
beast, and, coming IS near to naming one
man as he could without actually doing SO,
said:
''Tell me of the buccaneers of the Spanish
main; tell me Of the very men that ganbed
for the seamless coat of the crucihe6 Son of
God; would sooner trust innocence in the
hands Of any or all of these than with your
sleek, oleaginous and polished scoundrels that
float about in society, one of whom, on Bea-
yer Hall Hill, under Gods sunlight, in re-
spouse to the inquiry for a registry Office,
conducted poor country girl to portals in
fernal, where she was only saved by the
warning and compassion of the keeper, who
had more mercy than the gilded fend."
Detailing peculiarly atrocious case he
gave the congregation clear idea of the man
aimed at by these words:
"And where is the villain who has wrought
this ruinations Wherel Welcomed into the
salons of St Denis and Sherbrooke streets,
whisking around the daughters Of wealth in
the revolving proximities and the semi-nude
indelicacies of the waltz and polka, fascinat-
ing the feminine heart like as the insect is
fascinated by the devouring flame. Fascinat-
inga Yes; all the more because of the dark
romance that is whispered about that Charlie
is little fast, you know"
And these extracts present only the nildest
part of the address. It was scarcely neces-
sary for the reporter to add that there is
sensation in Montreal" But no one has
ventured to bring suit, and DR.. Douglass is

All the romance of the inspectors career,
however, pales into the commonplace com
pared with that Of the Clafin sisters. Their
history may be said to begin with sad mis-
take OF their mother, an extremely bright
and lively lady, who died last June at the
age Of 90 at Lady Cooks residence, near
London. She brought about a marriage for
Victoria which proved an unhappy one, and
the daughter formed an alliance for herself
with Col Blood, Of Missouri Tennie was
meanwhile developing rare powers fasci-
nator, and in 1869 the New York career of
the two sisters began. They sUrmounted
prejudice SO rapidly that the most eminent ar
fists, writer's and lecturers Of the country be-
came their associates, including Beecher, Til.
ton, Whitelaw Reed, MeSdames Stanton and
Hooker and Misses Dickinson and Anthony
Mrs. Woodruff appeared before congres .onal
committees and won great applause as an ad-
vocate of woman suffrage. This was the ze-
NTH of their success

date for president, and ner life was wen
ulated." She lost her temper and attacked
unfortunately many prominent people.

The Tragedy at Liberty Which Has Kicked
Tn 9unh n Row,

The Tragedy at Liberty Which Has Kicked
Up Such n Row.
Clay and Jackson counties, Mo-, and all
the region roundabout Liberty, are excited
about a murder at it be proper to 50 call it,
of which there were no Witnesses. The man
killed was John Lewton, the man who killed
him is James L. Sheetz, a leading lawyer and
lately prosecuting attorney, and the cause
of the killing was the pretty 15-year-old wife
OF Lewton; but only the two were present at
the fatal ARRAY, of whom the one cannot tes-
tify and the other need not.
The testimony presents some curious fea-
lures On the evening of Jan. parties in
the store below the Office of SheetZ heard five
shots, and the next minute the lawyer ap-
peared, going in a full run to the office af
Sheriff Oscar Thompson. The sheriff says
that the lawyer bounded in, fell on his knees
and clasped those of the sheriff and cried
bitterly. In vain did the officer ask him
what was the matter; he only cried harder
and implored the sheriff to come to his Office.
They went, no one else being allowed to enter
with them, and on the floor lay the corpse Of
John Lewton, the top of his head laid open
by one bullet, his heart pierced by another.
The most expert marksman, firing with per-
feet elaboration, could not have placed either
shot more fatally Indeed, such instant
death must have resulted from either that
some experts insist that one or the other
must have been fired after the man fell.

Still more curious is the fact that all the
gossips of the place knew the cause, knew be-
forehand that Levton intended to whip
Sheetz and that SheetZ had seduced Lewton's
wife, and the girl herself never denied it.
She is so very frank about 1t that the sister
and other relatives of the murdered man
readily forgepe her, wanted to effect recon
ciliation and are now befriending her. To
add to the oddly of the situation the sud-
denly made young widow gave the details
freely to correspondent of The Kansas City
Times, and at his request went to a gallery
and had her photograph taken for him to get
a picture for publication. Peculiar sort of
young widow, that.
She is but fifteen years old and married
Lewton last summer ct her home in Barry,
His In September be took her to Liberty
and left her with his sister while he went on
to California to seek situation. According
to her story. she got lonesome" became in
innate with another woman, was by her per-
suaded to go about good deal, met Sheetz at
Kansas City and yielded 10 MIN, then repented
and confessed all to her uncle and sister-in-
law Her husband returned, heard the story
as told by his relatives, did a great deal of
unnecessary threatening as to how he would
swhale Sheetz," went to the latters Office I'M
armed and was killed.
The slayer was taken before Justice L. P
Gray and released on ST 500 bail, which raised
a storm OF popular Indignation. The lawyer
was afraid to leave town lest he should be
followed and lynched, though, as he says, he
went twice to the depot to leave, but saw too
many enemies watching him. After lengthy
inquest he was again arrested on the evil
dence there presented and consigned to Jail,
all bail being denied. The wife had written
her husband a frantic appeal for forgiveness,
which he failed to get, and it fell into q
reporters hands. The character of the childs
intellect may perhaps be judged from the
concluding lines, viz:
John, viii stay with you the rest Of my
days and be faithful and true if you only
take me back. will do right if it kills me-
love you; love- You say do not appear
to regret having done what have, but do,
and you would know if you only knew my
heart. Write to me and come one day this
week. Good-by. Your loving wife to my
dear husband, John P. Lewton. Good-by.
won't write to my folks at home if you don't
say you will live with me. My folks may go
to the devall Again good-by.

rescue of her treasure. She sprang
from her bed and crossed the room at a
bound, and, throwing open her door,
stood face to face with a man holding a
dark lantern in his hand. In surprise
at her sudden appearance he made
backward step, lost his footing and
caught at the nearest support. 1t was
the tombstone 1t shook-it tottered-
it fell, and man and marble crashed
down the stairs together with sound to
wake the dead A moments stiffness
succeeded the uproar, followed by the
sound of voices and footsteps, and a
group of frightened faces appeared in
the doorway.
The stairs were strewn with fragments
of the broken stone, and at the bottom
Law the motionles5 body of man. He
crasped in one hand Farmer Barclays
well filed wallet. and Susie Dales we'd
ding spoons protruded from his pocket
There was blood everywhere. The
stairs, the walls and pieces of marble
were sprinkled with it, and where the
mans head lay was pool that every in
slant increased in size. He was quite
dead, and they saw by a CHASTITY wound
upon his head that sharp corner of the
stone had cloven his sculi.
When Samuel Dale turned the dead
mans face. to the light, he uttered an
exclamation of horror, for Thomas Ty-
ler's black eyes stared blindly in his
own, and his lips, parting, showed the
white teeth grinning in CHASTITY smile.
They bore away the body, and left a
woman on the bloodstained stair cropping
with feeble, moaning cries for the frag-
ments of Thomas Tyler's tombstone.
