A HORRIBLE CRIME.


Story or Sseh Fiendish Brutality ~ tn Be
Almost h yssA Relief.
A story of brutal outrage, murder and
swift vengeance upon the two murderers
comes from Sandy Hook, a mountain
town near Ashland, in western Ken
tucky. Near Sandy Hook Maud Fleenor
died recently from being thrown by her
horse and assaulted by George and John
Wilcox, brothers who had been her suit
Ors. 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 was
travelling, saw her, hid in the bushes,
scared the horse, the horse ran away and
she was thrown and had both legs bro
ken. The Wilcoxes picked her up, re-
vived her and drew strawe as to who she
should be compelled to marry, bore her
to a 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 a prisoner in
the cabin. When found by her brother
and affianced she said: "The Wilco1es
did it, !" and died soon after.
Examination showed that she had been
chained to the cabin wall. The Wilcox
es were captured and confessed, where
upon they were shot to death by the
brother and lover. They explained in
their confession that they chained the
girl because she had attempted to e.
cape.
Miss Fleenor was the daughter of q
prominent citizen of Richmond, Va, who
removed to Sandy Hook some years ago
and died there. She was only twenty
ono years old. church member and q
Sunday school teacher.

JOHN s. WISE on GRANT.


This h the Tribate which He WoalA Have
Written.
John s. Wise, Of Virginia, paid the fol-
lowing eloquent southern tribute to the
memory Of Grant at the New York ban
quet on Grants birthday anniversary,
and We have reserved it as very appro-
pirate for this number of The JOURNAL.
1t deserves q prominent place in every
soldiers scrap book. The truth is that
General Grants worth and work are
more and moro strongly appreciated as
the years roll by:
''The victorious German, after twenty
years Of peace. may plead in vain for for
getfulness Of Sedan, while the con-
quered Frenchman still hisses the word
'Revanche' beneath his breath. Twenty
years OF peace with MS left no such bit
terness behind. Patience was Grants
greatest attribute. Four years of
patient fighting suficed to conquer the
arms Of his adversary at Appomattox.
Twenty years OF patient charity, without
any word OF bitterness, brought also the
surrender OF their hearts at Mount Nc
Greeor. ICheers.l
Then it was the old Confederate
veteran on his crutch stepped mp to
Grants tomb. Then it was that he, for
the last time, saluting the old flag that
WAS dabbed with his blood, surrendered
his heart to Grant, without one feeling
Of regret or sigh OF mental reservation.
He was old and poor, travel-stained and
bat.le-worn. Yet all men uncovered in
his presence; for Grant himself had cer-
tilted that he vas brave, long
and honest in his faith. His style was q
rusty, broken bayonet which in its day
had served mayhap to dig the breast
works in the Wilderness and Spottsyl-
vania. With trembling hands he traced
in cramped characters tho lines, and the
world drew near in curiosity to see what
be had written: Here lies Grant, the
only conqueror Of Lee, and the greatest
Of Federal commanders.' lCheers]

spoke Of peace on any terms, save un-
conditional surrender

three days elapse, and he then finds the thief,
even with the goods upon him, he shall, if the
thief pretends to produce his author. in a
place not very far distant, follow him thither,
and if he cannot there produce him. the owner
may then arrest the thief (see Danish Code Of
Chr. v, London MDCCDVD. If it were these
enactments that caused His Excellencv to con-
slider the proposed new enactment superfuous,
it might be better understood but not that the
Ordinance of 1886 made it so. 1t is in the
spirit of those former enactments that tho
Draft IS kept at the same time it cannot be
ignored, that in modern times a change has
been made in reference to the mode of prosecu.
ton for thefgs; but still the natural principle
and law remains intact accordingly a pro-
prletor can take away his ohattels from the
thief when caught in 1agranti or when he or
she does not lose the thief out Of sight and
he has certainly also the right to seize and
bind the thief. The Draft pretonds nothing
m ore than that. have thus by the help of
older enactments shown that the proposal is
not at all as singular, as would appear from the
turn of His Excellency's remarks, and l have
already previously demonstrated, that some
thing more effective is required than at present
existing.
