ONE BRUTE HANGED.
MISSOURI SETS A GOOD EXAM.
PIE FOR THE COUNTRY.
She Avenges n Brutal Outrage Up
on Dcfenceless Woman by Ex-
ccuting the Criminal.
He Died Laughing.

A dispatch from Marshall Mo-, MAY 3,
says: William Price WAS hanged III the
jail yard in this city at | 40 today. Price
was conspicuous illustration OF the brute.
The moral instinct seemed lacking in him
entirely. He protested his innocence To
the last, making statement 10 that effect
upon the scaffold, and died laughing. His
guilt was clearly proven ~ the trial, and
the suicide of his victim rather than re-
iterate her wrongs in court further tends
to establish the fact. On the scaffold he
stated that the crime icr which he died
was suggested 70 him b. another Negro,
that he was drinking aud forgot about II,
ana that this other Negro accomplished
the deed. AS the cap was pulled over
him he remarked sheriff, | ought 10
have had shave" The rope used was
the same that hanged burlington.
The crime foi which William Price suf-
fered the severest penalty Of the law was
criminal assault on Miss Alice Ninas on
November Is, 1890. Alice and her aunt,
Amelia Ninas, were walking "a deserted
road on their way home, near Sweet
Springs, when they were accosted by n
burlv Negro. who made indecent proposals.
The frightened women started 10 run. but
the villain caught Alice and threw her TO
the ground. The unfortunate girl fought
desperately in defense Of her honor and
screamed until she wan overcome by the
desperate brute, and she was at his mercy.
When he heard rescucrs approaching he
decampcd. bot was arrested three hours
later near the scene OF the crime. When
taken before the girl she identified him rs
the man who had assaulted her. There
was strong talk Of lynching the
prisoner. but conservative counsel
prevailed, and il was determined TO
let the law take its own course.
About the middle OF the following Febru-
airy Alice Ninas. the victim OF the assault,
was married 10 George Miller, a well-to-dO
farmer residing near Sweet Springs. But
the memory of the terrible ordeal through
which she ha1 passed she could never for
get, ana as the criminal court term APP
preached, at which Price was TO be tried,
and she contemplated She horror Of going
upon the witness stand and telling all the
particulars of the fcnd sh crime, the men
tai angu sh was more than she could bear.
aud on March II the unfortunate woman
committed suicide by taking arsenic. At
the March term Price was tried and
though he was defended by able counsel
the case against him was overwhelming,
the evidence being strong and conclusive.
The jury was out only short time, return
ing with verdict Of guilty and assessed
the death penalty. This is believed 10 be
the first case in this state where. upon a
regular trial. man has been sentenced 10
death for criminal assault

THE STATE.
The INFLUENCE OF LAST WEEKS
WEATHER ON THE CROPS.
Reports OF Two Michigan
Raiiroads.-The News OF the state
Told in Condensed Form.
Weather and Crops.

The last regular weekly bulletin on the
weather and crops sent out from Lansing
says: The reports indicate that the cold
freezing weather OF the past seven days
has been unfavorable To wheat, clover and
new seeding. Fruit has suffered especial
~ by the freeze of the 9Th. aud the reports
are very conflicting as to the amount OF
damage Some reports would indicate
that the entire fruit crop had been killed,
whilo others report that the damage has
been mostly TO early cherries, pears and
Strawberries. and that carly peaches on the
low lands have been ser ousy injured.
Owing TO tho dry air and the wind on the
night OF the 4-5th, il is thought that the
damage w III not prove as serious as Is an
ticipatel at this date The reports next
,vceil will bring this matter out more fully.
There seems to be no doubt but that the
early fruits have been damaged TO some
extent. and that the orchards will be
spotted from the effects of the freeze, but
the exact amount of damage cannot be
stated at this date IL is generally reported
that apples have not su Tered, az they were
not out IN bloom TO any extent at the date
Of the freeze The continued cold weather
IT the past ten days has proved more a
blessing than an injury, as it has retarded
he growth so that the damage has not
been as great as il would have been had
the warm weather continued. Further
reports viii be made on this subject next
week. The lack OF warm rains have been
unfavorable 20 blowing and spring seeding,
and this work has not made much pro gress
during the week. With warm rain, well
distributed, the condition Of all crops
syould be greatly improved.

Her Strange Death.

Maggie Preston died AT Johnstown. Pa.
on Thursday. under circumstances that are
causing considerable talk. Until within. n
few hours of her death she was apparently
in perfect health. and from her CONVERSE
ton and behavior she apPeapd happy. At
Que o'clock Wednesday afternoon she had
n severe vomiting spell and shortly after
wards she complained that she was sleepy
aud lay down. From that time until her
death she did not utter n word. She APP
peared as il in frenzy OF rage at first,
but soon QUOTED down. and "a the doctor
saw nothing wrong ho left. In few min
utes the young lady became worse and an
other doctor was summoned, as well as q
Catholic priest, who BEGAN TO administer
extreme junction. just as his last words
had been uttered the girl rose in her bed,
with look of terror on her face, pointed
her finger at an imaginary being and at
tempted To speak. She gasped once or
twice and then dropped back on the pillow
dead. The two doctors and the priest
united in demanding that an autopsy be
held, but the parents refuse. Suicide is
suggested. but the doctors say they saw no
evidences OF poison.

Dun. Trade Review

NEW YORK. May l1.--R G.. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review OF trade says: May starts

Sales here last week were but g. 600, 600 bu
with decline OF 55sc and while corn has
declined 31ac in sympathy and many spscu-
lators have sufIe ed, tho sales have been

is the accommodating evidence that tho
wheat prospect at the st is remarkably
good. the acreage hay ing increase heavily.
u third In Kansas and quarter In Wash 'ng-
ton. The unusually cold weather. while
in uring fruit and vegetables at
many points, does not appear
To have seriously affected the larger
crops, which promise exceptionally
well. After such prices as have been real
led. farmers are widely Inclined to Put in
a greater acreage Of wheat. oats and corn,
csIec ally as the foreign alvices forrsh adow
a larger demand for wheat With such an
agricultural outlook, the demand for man

likely To improve and thus the great indus
tries viii be helped. Iron already feels the
stffcning influence and some grades are a
shade higher than "A week ago with larger

The demand for structural iron Is for tho
time lesscned by the extensive strikes in

there is more demand. Wool Il scarce and

THEIR SIN FOUND OUT.
\ Prominent Physician and His Par
amour Charged with Murder.

A recent dispatch from Knoxville Tenn.
tells the following story: The historic old
educational center, Abingdon, Va, is in
fever OF excitement over a most sensa-
tional affair. IL is the arrest or DR.. John
A. T. Baker and Mrs. w. IL. Gilmer on the
charge of numbering Mrs Baker. wife OF
DR.. Baker and an attempt 10 murder w.
T. Gilmer. husband Of the woman under
arrest Mrs. Baker died more than year
ago, end at that time il WAS thought that
her sudden death was due To heart failure.
Her husband. DIR. Baker, had her body
cmbalmed before burial. IL now trans
pires that foul murder was committed.
Some persons ia house cleaning and NOV
ing furniture about DR.. Bakers house in
some way found letters. These letters
were Mrs. Gilmer's which showed that
there was criminal intimacy between her
and DR. Baker aud that she and DR.. Baker
had plotted Mrs. Bakers death. When
the matter was pressed home 20 Mrs.
Glmer she confessed that Mrs.
Baker had been killed the woman
was given poison, and il is now
believed that DIR. Baker had the body en-
balmed 10 hide the traces of il. il is said
that Baker aud Mrs. Gilmer have known
each other cririually for 10 years, but the
death of Mrs. Baker did not put things IN
such a shape as to permit Their being to-
gether without fear of detection. 1t is also
admitted that Dr. Baker sent Mrs. Gilmer
poison and instructed her how to admin
ster it to her husband. She did so and
nothing saved her husbands life but the
timely arrival OF DIR. Gilmer, a brother of
the poisoned man. All parties are prom
inent in Abingdon. and widely known. No
such sensation has ever before been known
in the old town.
