Death of MIR. Ernest Jones.

Mr.. Ernest Jones of Warren county,
Youngest son of Mrs. Lucinda Jones
and brother of Col. T. L. Jones, of
Henderson, died in Raleigh about 8
O'Clock last Friday night. He was
naturally of delicate constitution and

where he had gone to accept business
engagement about two months ago.
He started to return and got as far as
West Virginia when he stopped. Col.
Jones was notified of his condition and

from nervous prostration and his men,

of DR.. Wood in Raleigh, and for a
while he appeared to be improving and
hopes were entertained of his recovery.
Friday his case suddenly assumed a
different phase when he died as above
stated. Mr.. Jones was young man OF
exemplary character and habits and was
greatly esteemed by all who knew him

Slightly JumbIed.

In giving report of the financial
condition Of the town as revealed in
settlement with the treasurer, two
mistakes were made, one a Topographic
cal error and the other clear omission
and confounding offgures by the printer.
The amount received from the ex-
Treasurer, was s396.59; from police
fines, $3.50. In print it appeared as
only $396.59 from police fines, while
nothing was said of what was received
from the ex-Treasurer. Instead of
|" on pauper" warrants under the head
of disbursements, it should have read
"proper warrants" The town authori.

casion for dealing with ''paupers.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Wife and Child Murder and suicide
at New York.

In Brooklyn, n. Y, Jan. 4th, the
discovery was made that Louis Nj.
Frankep, the anarchist, had choked
his child to death, poisoned and then
shot his wife, and when discovered
made retribution certain by killing
himself For two days and nights he
had eaten and slept alongside the de-
composing bodies OF wife and child
That morning a man went to the shanty
to get his washing, the dead woman
being his laundress, but could not get
a response to his knocks, He notified
the police and an officer raised the
front window and climbed in. As he
did so the maniac with matted hair
and beard bounded from the rear room
and pointing revolver at the officer
told him to get out The policeman
retired, but hearing pistol shot Il
moment later returned and in the
shanty made the terrible discovery
noted above. The child had been
strangled to death with rope. The
interior of the shanty gave evidence
that Mrs. Franken was neat house
keeper. Over the mantle hung a
photogl aph of the anarchists executed
in Chicago and pictures of anarchists,
painted by Franken, were about the
room. Mrs, Franken sympathized
with her husband, and when he said
the entire family would be better off
dead than alive, she agreed with him.
She suggested that he poison her, and
with this end in view Franken pur.
chased paris green, He tells this in
one OF his letters he left. In il he also
says he is insane, driven so by poverty
and the prospect of never being able to
better his condition. On that day the
wife cleaned up the house and then
drank the dose of paris green. When
She began to suffer, rolling on the
bed in intense agony, she begged
piteously for relief aud Fraukcn put
bullet in her brain. Then the child
was called into the room. Holding
the innocent in his arms. he drew a
clothes line about its neck and pulled
il taut and kept it so while watching
the poor child's feeble struggles.
Tighter and tighter was the rope
drawn until it cut into the yielding
flesh, when the father tied it and laid
the dead babe beside its mother Then
Erankcn's cowardicc manifested itself
and he did not kill himself. Since
that time he had cooked his own meals
and lived alone with the dead, only
killing himself when he was about to
fall into the hands of the law

DISGRACE TO HUMANITY,
Reports Of tho Horrible Treatment
OF Insane Women Con ilrmcd.

The reports OF the horrible treat.
ment of insane women IN the Dupure
county, H., aims house are declared
in an official statement to the governor
to be well founded. The statement is
signed by DR. T. IL. Wines and Rev.
c. &. Truesdell, both members OF the
state board of charities. The women
were covered with filth, were naked
ana ate of the reelIing floor, When
bathed at all IL was by male attend
ants. aud at night the women's cells
were eft unlocked, exposing them TO
the danger of criminal assault from the
men about the place, The two women
thus treated were iucorrigible, and to
this fact and the ignorance and care
lessness Of the keeper the report at
tributes the disgrace. Both women
have been removed 10 the state asylum
and the report recommends Legislation
to give the state board OF charities
jurisdiction over the county authorities
In such cases. One OF the women was
insane when dozen years ago she ar.
rived from Germany, A law Is recon-
mended to the legislature giving the

About 1000 people were crowded into

crowds on the opposite side OF the
building, which numbered several
thousand, became pnnic stricken and
fell and trampled on one another IN
their attempts to reach the outside.
The trampling Of the hclaless and the
agOnizing cries Of men and women
made the place the scene Of pandemo-

INHUMAN TREATMENT.
Terrible Condition OF Things i'm an
Illinois Poor House

Some time ago the humane society
Of Wheaton, Du Page county Illinois,
made complaint to Governor Fifer re-
garding the treatment Of the insane pst.
tients confined in the Wheaton poor
house. on account of the over-crowded
condition OF the state insane aSylums.
The commission appointed by the gov
ernor began an investigation and heard
many witnesses. Evidence was taken
going strongly to prove charges. Those
charges were in effect, that two insane
women were kept in zinc lined cells
about seven foot square, with no beds,
bedding or necessary convcniences: that
the cells were allowed to remain filthy:
that the patients in their demented con-
dition tore off their clothing and were
allowed to remain absolutely naked and
that in this condition other inmates of
the poor house, rs well as employees OF
the poor farm were allowed access to
the corridor and to snecr and jeer at the
unfortunatcs. 1t is further charged
that such attention us these poor
patients did receive was given them by
male attendants, there being no female
attendants at the poor house. One of
the witnesses said that he had seen
one OF the women feG. Her hands were
tied behind her and as The food was
placed on the floor she was obliged to
get down and eat like a dog II was
in evidence that aside from the insane
patients the house was we'll managed.
The management admitted that the
insane patients were not us well cared
for as they should be, but claimed that
it was the best that conld be done as
there were no couveniences for taking
care of the insane

A LONDON HOLOCAUST.
Twenty-Six Boys SuiTocatcd i'm a
Pauper school Fire.

The boys section OF the pauper
school, in the district Of Forestgale, in
connection with the Whitcchapcl and
other popular unions, in London, took
fire on the night Of Dec. Slst, while
the inmates were asleep and burned
with terrible results. Twenty-six OF
the boys in the upper stories suffoca-
ted Fifty-eight were safely taken
from the burning building amid terri
BILE excitement. Two matrons escaped
by sliding down water pipes. Several
boys escaped in the same way. The
superintendent repeatedly rushed
through the flames and brought out a
number OF the inmates. There were
600 persons in the institution. The
bodies of those suffoeated were carried
to the main hall which was still pro-
fusely decorated with Christmas greens.
The fire was caused by an overheated
stove. The female department in
which were 250 girls was not touched.
The boys retired in the highest spirits
having been promised presents and a
New Year fete. The scene in the main
hall where the dead bodies lay were
narrowing. The relatives and school
fellows of those who persisted were loud
in their lamentations.
Further reports of the fire show that
it originated in the clothing room be-
meath sthe dormitory. Smoke and
flames issuing from the stove nuo
alarmed those sleeping on the top floor
and they escaped. The fire engines
were promptly on the spot. The en-
ployes of the adjacent railway station
rushed to the scene and rendered val
liable assistance The cries of the
boys unable to escape were terrible.
The bodies of two of the boys were bad
ly burned, but it Is believed that they
were suffocated before they we're burn
ed. The ages of the dead range from
to II years.
