New York, Jan. 28.-Hannah Riorlan,
OF No. 456 West Twenty ninth Street,
was found dead in her room this morn
ing with her throat cut. Her nephew,
Thomas CLARK, Is under arrest for the
crime.
Mrs. Riordan and Clark occupied
three rooms, and from the disorder in
which they were this morning ii was
evident that the couple had been drink
ing last night. The one bed was
unoccupied last night, but upon sofa
were blanket and a pillow.
Appearances would indicate that the
woman was lying upon the sofa when
her throat was cut, and that she Sprang
to her feet and then fell. Clark must
have stepped over the body in passing
out the door. Upon the table was n
small, broken-handled penknife. The
pearl had left the brass frame and the
open blade was sharp as razor.
Clark denies his guilt. He has been
drinking heavily for some time. Two
weeks ago he had a slight attack OF
| delirium, aud the neighbors had him
arrested for their own safety. 1t Is
presumed that lie suddenly went crazy
at an early hour this morning and then
committed the deed.
Six years ago Clark's brother Horny
was intoxicated and fed to the roof Of
Il house on the southwest corner OF
| Twenty-seventh Street and Tenth
Avenue. A policeman followed him
and Henry fell from the roof to the
sidewalk, being instantly killed.

BIRMINoHAM, Ala, Jan. ga big
exodus of colored people from this
St2e to Oklahoma has set in. Fifty
famAles OF negroes left here to-day
for Mngfisher, and they will be fol-
lowed in few days by 200 families.
A colored man named Foster, from
Leayenworth, Kan, has been here for
some time working up the business
for almost nothing, and that If enough
of them will go they can secure abso-
lutte control OF the government of the
Territory. The latter argument seems
to be the principal inducement. A
number of colored men who owned
good farms have sold everything and
will join the exodus.
