KILLED HIS coUNTRYMAN.
An Italian Murdered in the Public Market
 Place at Syracuse.


 SYRACUSE, N. Y., April S.-Niccola Davita, an Italian, was shot and killed in the public market place here last night by fellow countryman named Antonio Guiglielmi. The men occupied adjoining fruit stands, and feud is said to have existed between the two for the past two years.
 At 10 o'clock last night the men had a quarrel, which ended in Guiglielmi draw ing revolver and shooting Davita through the head. When the latter fell Guiglielmi stood over him and fired three times into his prostrate body.
 An officer rushed up at this moment and the revolver was turned upon him, but the officer was too quick for the mur- derer and knocked him down with a blow of his club and disarmed him.
 Guiglielmi, who is one of the wealthi- est Italians in the city, claims that Davi- ta drew a knife on him and that he fired in self defense.

The public are waking up to the fact that our reliable cloth ing is economical for them to wear, the big increase in our business this season proves this.

GEORGE F. EDMCNDS. that nave retired from politics for good"
 Senator Edmunds was appointed by the Governor of Vermont to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Senator Solo, mon Foote. He took his seat April 5, 1866. When the Legislature met he was elected to fill the remainder of the term ending March 4, 1869, and has since been four times reelected He was a member of the Electoral Commission of 1876, and since 1877 has been the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
 Keen and incisive in debate, courtly and polished in manner, judicial in mind and strong in all the qualities which go to make up leader of leaders, no man in public life will be so missed. He has been called the St. Jerome of the Senate be- cause of his supposed austerity. There could be no greater mistake. He is as witty as Ingalls,, as companionable as Vest and as mellow and attractive in his personal attributes as Allen G. Thurman, his old-time Senatorial crony.
 The news of his resignation will be read with regret by his associates in the Sen, ate, to whom the announcement will be wholly unexpected.

Poor Mrs. Vanderbilt.

sweet faced and rather pretty woman,
come into Stearn's to do some shopping

and simply Toasted their eyes upon every
detail of her dress and appearance. They
loudly C lied each others attention to
her earrings-solitaire pearls-to the fit
of her dress and the waysft hung in the
back. They came closer and felt it.
They SIT lied the way she had her hair
done up and suggested that it was worth
trying when they got home. They stood
shoulder to shoulder with her and learned
her hat by heart. She was admirable
through it all, pretended she did not see
or hear or feel, finally turned around to
go, with blankly absent expression, the
cortege thronging around her and escort

COURAGE SAVED AER LIFE.

Young Woman Hangs Beneath TrestAe
as Train TIsunders Above.
Clmging for her life to rough beam
while flying express train Numbered
and swayed above her head. Swinging
In midair with death above and below
her until almost exhausted by the fatigue
that came of the terrible strain upon her,
physically and mentally.
Thiswas the dire predicament in which
Miss Norma Onken, of Ridgeway ave-
nue., Avondale, was placed one after
noon, and it was only due to her cool
judgment and calm presence of mind
that she did not meet with a shocking
death. In attempting to cross a railroad
trestle which spans the rocky bed Of
Bloody Run, a little bed north of Avon
dale, she was run down by an express
train, the engineer of which was en-
deavoring to make up for lost time by
running at full speed. Toprevent being
hurled from the trestle she was COM
PEELED to let herself down on the outside
of the track and hang on until she was
rescued.
With Mr.. Richard Hall, of Walnut
Hills, and Miss Mamie Fisher, of Avon
dale, she started out for walk They
went along the Cincinnati and Lebanon
and Northern Marrow Gauge railroad
toward Lebanon, and as they reached
the trestle Mr.. Hall and Miss Fisher
held back, fearing to meet train. Miss
Onken, though knowing it to be near
train time, thought to cross the trestle
before the train could come.
She was about half way over when
the Montgomery accommodation, due in
Cincinnati at 1886, whistled. She looked
up and was Mortified to see the train
driving toward her with great speed. 1t
was train No. 10, of which Ed. F.
Doherty is conductor and Lee Barnard
trainman, and it was travelling between
thirty-fve and forty miles an hour.
When Miss Onken saw the train coming
toward her she displayed wonderful
presence of mind by throwing herself
over the side Of the trestle and there
clinging to the timber
The engineer, George Collins seeing
the gentleman and lady at the other end
of the trestle, reversed the engine and
stopped as soon as possible but it was
not until he had passed Miss Onken some
distance. Running back ON the trestle
Doherty and Barnard each took one Of
Miss Onken's hands and pulled her up
on the track. Her face was black and
blue, and she was more dead than alive.
She was exhausted and could have held
on but very short time longer.
Without help just at that time she
would have fallen into the creek twenty
feet or more below her.
After resting a few moments she was
able to resume her walk, none the worse
for her narrowing experience. The spot
where the scene occurred is noted for ac-
cidents On the 18th of July last an old
colored woman was thrown from the
trestle and dreadfully injured, breaking
two of her limbs and fracturing her
skull. Three weeks ago there was col
lision at this point, and one of the bat
tered engines is still half buried in the
mud there Cincinnati Enquirer.
