Horrible Crime OF a Bristol Negro
Named jackson.
BRISTOL, May 3.-One of the most
brutal attempts at murder which has
ever been chronicled in the history of
Connecticut crimes, was made in this
place about 1890 this morning. The as
sailant is Arthur jackson, colored, and
his wife was the victim.
Jackson was in Plainville during the
afternoon yesterday, and fell in with a
number of his friends. They went from
saloon to saloon and imbibed freely
They had several fights among them
selves, and at last jackson left them
When he left some Of his companions
noticed that jackson seemed to have
some object in view. He started directly
for home, and acted strangely.
Jackson's wife is employed a. domes-
tie al the Bristol house. Thither jackson
wanded his way, at 1890 o'clock. Call.
ing his wife he told her that he wanted
her to accompany him to their home on
Seymour street, Immediately. She was
very mrch frightened as thcre was a
wild look in his eyes. She dared not
disobey him, however, so followed him
to their home. Arriving there Mrs Jack
son went up stairs into her room. A
moment later jackson called to her to
come down Immediately. She did SO

dog in one hand and an axe 10 the
other. He told her to hold
the lamp 30 that he could see to kill the
dog. He said that he was going to kill
the dog first and his wife next. He
then struck the dog on the head with
the axe, killing it. He then ordered his
wife to follow him upstairs. This she
did and then jackson went down stairs
again and procured kerosene oil can,
the contents Of which he poured over
the bed and on the floor, saying that he
was going to set fire to the house and
burn his wife up in it. He threw his
wife down stairs and following quickly
after her drew a razor across her throat,
cutting it from ear to ear. The arteries
were laid bare but not severed. He also
gashed the woman's face exposing the
jaw bone and several of the teeth. He
then placed the woman's hand on the
floor and chopped three fingers off,
after which he fled from the house.
In about an hour the woman recover
ed consciousness and dragged herself to
the house of a neighbor. A doctor at
tended to her injuries but there is a
bare chance of her recovery. Search
was made for Jackson as far as Water
bury, where he was believed to have
gone, but he was not found. Jackson is
an ugly customer when drunk and two
years ago slashed man with a razor
jackson was arrested this afternoon in
the house of James Bishop il Plainville.
The woman is sinking fast and will
probably die before night.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
Fire Discovered in the Rear OF Major
Fred A. Spencer's Houaa.

Fire Discovered In the Rear OF Major
Fred A. Spencer's House.
About 10 O'Clock last night a barrel
back Of Major F. A. Spencer's house on
North Main street was discovered to he
on fire and report was at once circu-
lated that an attempt had been made to
burn the house.
Several small boys claim they saw a
man under the grape arbor appointing
the house and that the fellow set fire to
the barrel and ran away.
1t is mystery how the barrel took fire
as no live ashes had been thrown into it.
Mr. Spencer does not think that any At
tempt at incendiarism was made, but ID
at loss to know how the barrel t, ok
fire: The boys story was not believed.
The police were notified and kept q
sharp lookout but made no discovery.
The lads say that the man was short and
wore beard, and that he ran down the
street after firing the barrel.

it is impossible to convict because the

AN ECONOMICAL COUPLE.
How They Made Comfortable Meal
at a Very Small Expense.

During one of the most crowded fair
days well l-Iressed, comfortable look
ing couple, evidently husband and
wife, went into one of our leading res
taurants. The woman carried little
satchel, which she held in her lap
when she was seated at the table.
They consulted the menu card with
out bit OF the uncertainty and en-
barrassment which are so often shown
by people who are strangers to restaur-
ant ways. y
When the waiter came the woman
spoke up promptly: Roast beef and
a cup of tea"
The man said: Apple pie and
glass of milk"
The restaurant was one where the
portions are generous and the prices
in keeping. When the meat came,
the woman divided her portion in two
equal parts and then hesitated. Her
husband had no plate except small
one on which his pie was served. The
pie was quickly put in her tea saucer
and one-half the meat put on the tea
plate. Enough bread had been
brought with the woman's order for
two. Before she began to eat, she
opened her satchel and produced some
celery, which was divided. The bread,
the meat, the celery disappeared, and
then the apple pie was divided. The
woman slipped her tea, and her hus-
band quaffed about half of the tumbler
OF milk, and she finished it. Then
the satchel produced some grapes
which were leisurely eaten.
When the waiter was summoned to
make out the check he saw the celery
heads and grape stems, and looked
ncnplussed, but evidently decided that
he wasn't called ON to say anything,
and so the check only claimed pay for
the four articles ordered
There was nothing in the appear
ance OF the pair that hinted at any
need OF economy. Everything about
them was first-class, and the fact that
they avoided low priced restaurant
showed that they wanted nothing but
the best. If their repast was sample
of their general management they are
on the high road to wealth.-Er.

He follows up this ominous state
ment OF declines on all farm products
with the assertion that "there is no
man in my business who can stand up
for any length of time with the dis
counts in his business here given on
farm productions. He also adds
at seems that the meneyed aristo-
Gratis are determined to confscate all
of the mortgaged farms, and require
millions OF others to mortgage theirs,
to be in time turned from them"
This prosperous farmer" advises
his compatriots in the industry to Or
ganize themselves and arrange a
schedule of prices which would give
cost at least to all productions of the
farm;" adding that "by keeping all
their products at home till this was
done would be the way to get at this
business in hurry" He concludes as
follows: The farmers must do some
thing for themselves very soon or
thousands upon thousands will be sold
out"

Pail Mall Gazette.

The unpopularity of marriage con-
tinues unabated, and last year was the
first in recent times in which, while
the price Of wheat fell, the marriage
rate remained stationery. 1t is now
142 per 1000. The decline in the
popularity of matrimony is greatest
with those who have already had some
experience of welded life. Between
1876 and 1888 the marriage rate fell
IL per cent. for bachelors and spinsters,
q per cent for widowers, 81 per cent.
for widows. The drop in the remar-
riage of widows, however, is probably
due to the Cutting of the marriage
market with surplus spinsters. The
excess of women over men in Eng
land and Wales is estimated at 765,-
900!
Another interesting fact is that the
births have now reached the lowest
rate recorded since civil registration
began. In 1876 the rate was 1868 per
1000; it is now 800. This is very
satisfactory, and it is also notable that
the illegitimate birth rate has declined,
the proportion, 4.6 per cent. being the
lowest yet registered. The worst
feature in the Register Generals re-
turns, however, is the fact that the
male births had fallen in proportion
to the female; in the last ten years
1,O3S boys were born for every 1900
girls, and last year the male prepond-
erance had dropped by 5, and is now
standing at 1888 to 1000. With
surplus female population of three
quarters of a million this is a move
in the wrong direction.
1t is worth noting that while the
increase in marriages between English
people has not kept place with the
population (having increased only 4
per cent. in the last nine years) mar
riages, according to Jewish rites, have
grown no less than Go per cent. If
this rate is kept up, we shall become
Anglo-Israelites indeed, in a way not
dreamed of by those enthusiasts who
have identified us with the last ten
tribes.

Agricultural Property"

Under the above heading Chicago
journal publishers a letter from a
farmer, resident at Yorkville, Ill.,, in
which he complains that prices on the
best-managed farms are not only
down to the bare cost of production,
as stated by another correspondent in
the same journal, but fully so per
cent. below the cost of production, on
all legitimate business principles, on
the best-managed farms"
To clinch the contention of this
prosperous agriculturist" he quotes
prices of this year and last-and the
farmers complained also of last years
prices-from the journal to which he
writes, as follows:
