Kicked His Victim TO Death.

SCRANTON, Feb. 16.-Dennis Munley
was logged in the county Jail to-day on
the charge OF murder, the victim being
Patrick Barrett. Nearly a week ago
Munley and Barrett quarreled in the
home of the former, each claiming to
be the better man. The quarrel ended
by an assault by Munley upon Barrett.
The latter was knocked into corner
and Munley inflicted heavy kicks npon
his stomach and chest. The next day
Barrett was very sick and grew stead
lily worse until to-day, when he died.
The Coroner investigated, and after
post mortem had been made. 1t was
found that death had resulted from a
rupturod bladder, due to the heavy
kicks which Munley administered.
A verdict was rendered accordingly.
Munloy has also been arrested for ag-
gravated assault and battery upon his
wife, which occurred few minutes
after his murderous assault on Barrett.

NEW YoRK, Feb. I6.-Miss Jennie
Stevens, who attempted suicide on
Saturday by shooting herself near the
heart and again in the temple, did the
work deliberately.
It appears that she went to her
fathers room and discharged the first
shot through the mirror to try the
weapon. She then must have opened
her clothing, and, standing in front OF
the mirror, aimed to send a bullet
through her heart She rearranged her
clothing, walked the length Of the hall
and into her own room, where she
shot herself in the temple. She re-
covered consciousness this morning
and said she could remember nothing
about the shooting which she re-
GREETED deeply. Her physician has no
hope of her recovery.

PEEKsKILL, N. Y, Feb. 16.-Miss Mel
lie Whalen was so badly burned on
Saturday by her clothes catching fire
from burning turpentine that she died
yesterday. She was the daughter OF
Mrs. Thomas Clune, who has been
married twice. She and her mother
reside on Central avenue. With them
lives Michael Clune, well-known
young man in this city, who was en-
gagged to Miss Whalen He is no re-
| lation to Mrs. Clune, Young Clune is
afflicted with rheumatism badly, and
has been confined to the house for
some days.
On Saturday afternoon his sweet
| heart heard that turpentine was an eN-
cellent remedy for his disease and pEr-
chased pint bottle OF this most in
fiaInmable substance, had corked the
bottle, and plunged it into a kettle OF
boiling water and placed it on the
stove.
When It had reached sufficient de-
gree Qt heat, she drew it ont with the
inteutioh OF applying it to his ankles
But as she lifted the bottle FROM the
kattie 1t struck the iron kettle broke,
and its bottom dropped out and the
turpentine was spilled on the stove
and all over her dress. IL was imme-
diately ignited, and in an instant she
was wrapped in u seething mass OF
fire.
She ran screaming to her mother,
who was in the kitchen with her. and
her mother, with the assistance of
Clune who in the excitement and de-
sire to save his love, forgot his all
ment that had previously kept
him glued to his chair made
strenuous efforts TO tear the burn
ing clothing from her. After her.
culean efforts they succeeded but
not until she had been severely
burned as had both her rescuers.
DIR. L. D. NJ. Lyon, who was sum-
moned, dressed the wounds, and ap-
piled all antidotes known to medical
skill, He was shortly joined by DR..
p. II. Mason, and both physicians re-
manned with the suffering girl for
many hours She was horribly burned,
scorehed and almost roasted in spots.
CluIie was seriously injured. His two
hands were almost roasted and may be
useless for life. Mrs. glune was
burned about the arms and hands,
though not as badly as young Clune.

ADJUSTMENTS.

tx AcAnENY or NUsfuss -
Tho FIRST pslformance an this city OF
Lights and Shadows eas giyAa at
the Academy OF Music last evening,
before a large audience. This is new
melo-drama, written by Charles Gay
Ter, and Is one of the best now before
the public, and is handsomely staged
with splendid scenery. The company
Is good, in fact much better than Is
generally found Iii melo dramas, while
| the plot is coherent and rational all
through. The scenes proceed In natu-
raj, logical sequence, and every scene
has an essential part to play. The first
act shows a handsome view OF villa
on the Hudson. In the second there
is an atelier with glass sides, through
which The hero breaks to save his
sweethenrt-an effective bit Of work.
In the third there is young tank
scene, a miniature Niagara pouring
from the wall into room where the
two are confined; In the fourth novel
robbery OF II private residence and in
the last ain unconventional straighten-
ing Of affairs. 1t will be presented to-

OPERA HOUSE.
Tho popular operatic burlesque
DiutDtului ui.s was BlNcb ITO litSu
presentation in this city at the Opera
House last evening before large and
appreciative audience. 1t Is filled
with sparkling, catchy music, fun,
marches and very excellent ballet.
The scenery and costumes are gor-
geous and splendid, while the COM
pany is large and iirst-class In every
respect. In fact, the entire produc-
ton is one OF the best ever presented
in this city, and we'll deserving of a
large patronage. The ballet OF birds
and insects Is very fine and novel in
every respect. The idea of the grass
hoppers, lady bugs, hawk and white
moths Is very unique. The white
moths, represented by little children,
who are under the care of the old
woman who lived in a shoe, are par
ticularly good, and won the applause
of the audionce.
The spectacular dancing entitled the
| Light OF ASIA" presenting the girls OF
the Ganges the snake charmers and
Nautch dancers was one of the most
pleasant and gorgeous features OF the
evening. The play will be presented
again tonight, tomorrow night and

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
THE SPEAKMAN VS.. CARTER
CASE.


Immediately after court resumed
yesterday afternoon the case of Samuel
Speakman vs.. Mrs. Mary Carter was
again taken up.
Edward d. Rhlnehart was recalled
and repeated several things which he
had said In his direct testimony.
Charles Speakman was called, and
testified to the fact of the goods hav.
ing been bought by Mrs. Carter and
that she bought them in her own
name.
Mr.. Lore stated that he would close
with this witness, and Mr.. Hilles
moved that non suit be granted on
the ground that the wife had no
authority to enter into any such con-
tract In her own name.
He argued that while the husband
could have made an agreement or con-
tract OF this nature, the wife could not,
especially as 1t had been shown that
the husband WAS present at the time,
enter into an agreement to furnish or
supply anything needed in the house,
hold. He cited a number of authori-
ties in support OF his position, and to
show that a married woman, living
with her husband, had no right or
power to enter into an agreement of
this kind, and that II she did the party
making 1t did SO at their own risk.
Mr.. Hilles was followed by Mr.. Lore
for the plaintiff, who contended that
in a case of this nature u married wo-
man had an undoubted right to make
u contract TO enter into lease.
He cited the married womans s law,
enacted in 1878, to show that a married
woman could acquire either personal
or real property, and that title to it
should be vested in her. He main
tanned that she could acquire property
from anyone, except her husband, the
same as though she was unmarried.
1t had been shown in this case that the
defendant was conducting separate
and independent business from her
husband, and therefore had a perfect
right to enter into any contracts con
cerning 1t, for which she herself, and
no one else would be responsible.
Mr.. Hilles made the closing argu-
ment, and contended that while q
married woman might acquire prop
etty, she had no power to enter into
any lease for it, and that the plaintiff
had shown that she did not acquire
any right in this property, and only
held it by lease until certain conditions
were complied with.
Mr.. Hllles closed shortly before 4
o'clock, when the court announced
that a decision would be rendered on
the motion this morning.
The case of John Mcdowell rs. the
Mayor and Council of Wilmington,
having been settled, the special jury
summoned TO try it were discharged.
