BLACKSTONE DIES.
Mrs. Davis Tells q New Story
Whv She Shot Him

Mrs. Davis Tells a New Story Of
Why She Shot Him.
AS had been surmisei by medical
men, Samuel Blackstone, the colored
man who was shot on n ov. 8 by Mrs.
Kate Davis. died yesterday morning at
) at his residence on Al0emarle street.
Coroner Quinn will hold an inquest this
afternoon at O'clock. As stated in the
GLOBE of last Sunday, tue ante-mortem
statement of Blackstone was taken Sat
urday afternoon in the presence of
County Attorney O'Brien, Assistant
Attorney Butler. City Physician Ancker
and Chief of Police Clark. The state
ment is now in the possession of the
county attorney.
Mrs. Davis. who has been confined in
the county Jail. was yesterday in very
nervous, hysterical condition, and her
friends are very much alarmed. Her
husband, who is travelling man. has
retained the services of Mrssrs. Erwin
d Wellington. and In the event of the
unfortunate lady being indicted by the
grand jury. which is now in session, her
defense will be undertaken by the dis
tinguiShed firm OF attorneys.
1t will be remembered that when
Blackstone was shot, the statement he
made shortly afterwards was to the eff
feet that he went to the rooms of Mrs.
Davis on East Sixth street for the pur-
pose of calling his employer, NJ. j.
Miesen, the salOonkeeper, who rented
a room of Mrs. Davis and her husband.
Being told that MieSen was not in,
Blackstone stated that he walked to-
ward the door of the apartments, when
Mrs. Davis Snatched the revolver from
a bureau and shot him.
Mrs. Davis has told very different
version of the affair TO the officials of
the Jail and TO her husband. She saws
that Blackstone was drunk when he
came to the rooms, and after being told
that Mr.. MieSen was not in, and finding
that she was alone, seized her and at
tempted to assault her, dragging her to
a bed and trying to throw her upon it,
She struggled with him. and freeing
herself from his graSp.ran into the next
room and caught up revolver which
lay upon the bureau. AS Blackstone
rushed in after her she fired the re-
volver at him. The man left the rooms
and went down stairs, after which
she tainted away and did not learn
for some time after that she had shot
Bla ckstOne. Mrs. Davis says that she
did not tell this story when arrested, as
she feared the unenviable notOriety and
scandal of such an affair becoming pub
lie. According to the records of the
municipal court, a warrant was sworn
out for the arrest of Blackstone a few
hours before he was shot, the complain
ant being John Ehrle, who swore that
he had been assaulted by Blackstone in
saloon on Robert street that very
morning. The warrant was made out
for the arrest of John Doe" for as.
sault and battery. Ehrle knowing
Blackstone. but not knowing his name.
The warrant was given to Police Officer
Davis, and while searching for Black
stone heard of the shooting

to their petition to be granted a fran.
chise to lay their wires in condults for
the purpose of supplying electric
light and power. Mr.. Stevens
pointed out that, under ordinances
granted to the company in 1888
and 1889, they were allowed to
erect poles and string electric wires on
certain streets. The recent agitation
against overhead wires in the city was
a most laudable one, and the cOuncif'
had appointed special committee for
the purpose of reporting upon the adj
visibility of having all wires put under
ground. His clients sought to do vol
unfairly the very object the council was,
DESTROYS of securing by law. and he
hoped that the committee would recon-
mend to the board of aldermen the
passage Of the ordinance asked for by
his clients. The committee voted to
recommend the ordinance fayorably,

reason that he was not in favor

These two facts are now so well known to
the medical fraternity that local applications.

best likely TO give only temporary relief. To

the diseased tissues. and imparting healthy
tone to the affected organs, does give thor

PLAYED With a Snake.

Mrs. Divine, a widow, Of Cornwall,
N. Y, went to church on a recent Sum
day morning, leaving her two little
girls, Nora and Jenny, aged respectively
six and four years, alone in the house.
Half an hour later Mrs. Benton, the
wife of a n~eighboring farmer, saw the
children sitting on the grass under an
apple tree, striking at something IN the
ground. At each stroke they screamed
with laughter. Mrs. Benton's curiosity
was aroused, and she crossed the road to
see what was amusing them. As she
approached them Nora said gleefully;
"Big worm playing peek-a-boo with us.
She had hardly ceased speaking when
half the length of a great copperhead
snake darted out of a hole in the direc-
ton of the children. Two switches
dropped smartly on it and the ugly head
was quickly pulled back. Whether the
venomous reptile wa really playing with
the children, as they supposed, or was
kept at bay by their switches, was a pro-
blem which Mrs. Benton did not waste
any time in attempting to solve. She
called to her husband and rushing for
ward she dragged the little girls away
from the hole. Mr.. Benton arrived just
as the snake looked out again to see
what had become of them. The farmers
stick fell upon his head and he went
back no more. Mrs. Divine tainted
when she saw the snake and heard the
story, but her children wept and refused
to be comforted because their playmate
was dead.-Caic0qo Post.

A Rose Question.

In one of the pretty home gardens at
Bay st. Louis, where the roses grow aud
blow W"nolested by fashion aud the
new-fangled names that fashion invents
fer them, there is in bloom a rose tree
with eccentric flowers. It is a sweet
scented damask rose, next of kin prob
ably to the new, imperjous 'sAmerican
Beauty" The tree is covered with
large, lovely roses in full bloom, and
from the heart of each rose, growing up
above the petals on a single stalk is a
cluster of three or four little immaturely
formed roses. Every rose on the tree Is
thus sprouting this most curious freak of
nature. The second growth of roses
does not come to perfect flowers, but the
wizzen, weak, Informed flowers growing
from the heart of the mother rose are
singularly sweet in perfume. Can any
of our florists explain the eccentric
motherhood of this damask rose?-New
