A Cruel Husband Given u Coat Of Tar
and Feathers.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, March 27.-A case Of
shameful brutality almost unknown in
this part of the country oc-
Cured near Hartford last night, when
Newman Matthewson, a prominent and
wealthy farmer, was taken from his
house, whipped and given a coat of tar
and feathers by band of masked men
who called themselves "White Caps"
Less than a year ago Matthewson
married his brorher's widow, and
recently they have not agreed on &C
count of the disparity in their ages.
The stalwart men of Hartford learned
of alleged brutal whippings administer
ed to the young wife an concluded to
give the husband lesson. There were
about 20 of the men who took the mat
ter into their own hands. Matthewson
was seized when he came to his door,
stripped and in the presence of Mrs
Mathewson, who stood in the door, .
whip was applied.
This was followed by a liberal coat of
warm tar, which was finished off with
feathers in wastsful extravaganza. Mrs.
Matthewson is said to have offered no
remonstrance, but seemed to think he
was getting only what he deserved.
Matthewson was more dead than alive
when his tormentors loft him. He says
that he will prosecute the men who
abused him if he can learn their names,
which is doubtful.

The founding Of the first school for
deaf mutes in France. and one Of tho
first in the world, was the result of All
accident. The story is as follows: The
good Able de L'Epee, who lived in Paris
in the Eigh teenth century, called one
day upon one of his Pensioners. The
lady kept him waiting for few
minutes in her drawing room. At the
further end of the apartment the Abbe
noticed two young ladies who were ap-
parently greatly engrossed in some
fancy work.
He spoke to them, and, to his surprise,
received no reply. When his par
ishioner appeared he asked who
the young ladies were. She said that
they were her daughters. Thereupon
he mildly reproached her for their rude
ness in not answering his greeting.
Then the mother. with tears in her
eyes. told him that they were deaf and
dumb. and beyond suoh few accomp lish-
ments as they had acq uired were totally
ignorant of everything regarding the
world. They could neither read or
write.
