BY the Brother and Lover of a Muir
dered Young Lady.
LOUISVILLE, May 23.-A story of bru-
tai ravishing and murder and swift ven
geance upon the two murderers comes
from Sandy Hook, mountain town near
Ashland, in eastern Kentucky. Near
Sandy Hook, KY, Maud Fleenor died re-
Gently from being thrown by her horse
and ravished by George and John Will
cox, brothers, who had been her suitors.
She had promised to marry Amos Queen,
who had met her while she was teaching
school near Sandy Hook, and about three
weeks ago started to visit a friend near
where she had taught. The Wilcoxes
were passing the road she Travelled, saw
her coming, hid in the bushes and scared
her horse. The horse ran away; she was
thrown and had both legs broken. The
Wllcoxes picked her up unconscious, re-
vlVed her, drew straws as to which she
should be compelled to marry, bore her
to cabin, and demanded that she agree
to marry John, to whose lot she fell.
She refused and tainted. They tried to
set her legs, and kept her prisoner in the
cabin. When found by her brother and
atlianced she said the "Wilcoxes did il"
and died soon after. Examination
showed that she had been chained to the
cabin wall, also had been outraged.
The Wilcoxes were captured and con-
fessed, whereupon they were shot to
death by the brother and lover. They
explained in the confession that they
chained the girl because she had at
tempted to escape. Miss Fleenor was
the daughter Of prominent citizen of
Richmond, Va, who moved to Sandy
Hook some years ago. and died there
She was only q years old, church
member and Sunday school teacher.

Chicago VIII Fight for That Pier.

CHICAGO, May 23.-In regard to dis
patch from Washington that the war de-
partment will notify the city to remove
the center iher under the Canal street
bridge, said to be an obstruction to navi-
CATION. under penalty of 5000 every
month, Corporation Counsel Miller said;
mo such notice has yet been received
by the city and if it should be, its au-
thoritv would not be recognized. The
CITY has too much at stake to quietly
submit to the claim of the general gov
prnment TO control of the river. The
attorney generals opinion is entitled to
much respect, but it is not adjudication,
and in matter of this great Importance
the city will recognize no authority but
n judicial decree"

In Defense of the Negroes.
In discussion which followed the ed
ucational report of the society, Rev. Mr.
Campbell, OF MISSISSIPPI, made vlgOr-
GUS defense of the colored people He
declared there was more squalor, dcgra-
dation and poverty in New York city
than in a whole state in the south. The
picture of the immoral and ignorant
condition of the negro had been over
drawn. The stealings of defaulters in
the south amounted to millions, and he
naively added it would take great
many chickens to overcome that amount.
He had never read of Fidelity failure
among the colored people of the south.
But he added that the mission work of
the south was of the gravest importance
II had a good influence in alleviating
some of the race troubles arising there.
Rev Gilbert, colored, also spoke on the
subject, saying there were 300, 900 col
ored Baptists in the south represented
by this meeting and among whom work
was being done.

Jackson's favor. Corbett rallied then,
and for two rounds pounded Jackson
and had him greatly distressed. The
effort, however, was too much for the
San Francisco boy, and with the excep'
ton of several rallies there was nothing
done by either man during the next two
hours.
In the last few round Jackson stag
gered around the ring, and Corbett was
in much the same way. Both the men
were heartily cheered at the conclusion
of the fight No decision has been given
as to the purse.
