TONGUE AND RAZOR.
Two Weapons Welded by Society
Women Figure in a Tragedy.
A MURDERESS FROM A CARRIAGE
Springs to the Pavement and Stabs Her
Victim in the Neck.
THEY had BEEN DEAREST OF FRIENDS

MEMPHIS, Jan. 25.-The most sensational
murder which has occurred in Memphis for
years was committed this afternoon. The
victim was young lady and her slayer was
of the same sex. Both were familiar figures
in society.
A few minutes before 4 o'clock buggy
containing Miss Alice Mitchell and Lizzie
Johnston drove up to the sidewalk around
the Custom House block leading to the
levee. The lines we're in the hands of Miss
Johnston, and beside her, calm and self.
possessed, sat Miss Mitchell. Coming
slowly up the steep incline from the river
and her sister, 10, who had just put another
sister, Mrs. Cummings, aboard the steamer
Rosa Lee, for Gold Dust, Ark.
She Springs From Her Carriage.
The young ladies were soon opposite the
carriage, chatting pleasantly. Suddenly,
from out the carriage at a bound, came Mis-:
Mitchell. Grasping Miss Ward by the
neck she drew a bright razor from out thu
folds of her dress, and without word drew
it across the throat of her victim. Mis-
Ward sank TO the pavement in an instant
the blood pouring in torrents from the sew
cred jugular.
The murdered girls sister, who had by
this time recovered from her astonishment,
grappled with the woman and tried to hold
her, but in twinkling she, too, received a
cut, but only trifing one, near the ear.
Miss Mitchell, being freed from Mrs. Ward,
Jumped into the buggy in an instant, and
with the exclamation
'rDrive on, I've done it, seized the whip,
and with Miss Johnston still holding the
lines, the pair were soon around the corner
into Madison street and away from the
scene of the tragedy.
Miss Ward was tenderly picked up by the
gathering crowd, and passing carriage
which was pressed into service conveyed
her to Rogers Infrnary. She was, how
ever. beyond human aid and expired just as
the infirmary was reached. The body was
then taken to an undertaking establishment.
The Murderess Under Arrest
AT 6 o'clock this evening Chief of Police
Davis had arrested Miss Mitchell, who was
found at her home on Union street, and con-
veyed to the Jail in carriage.
The cause of the killing is tonight not
positively apparent, as Miss Mitchell
refuses to say word to anybody on the
subject 1t is said, however, that Miss
Ward, who was visiting in this city, had on
former trips to Memphis been the guest of
Miss Mitchell Lately she refused to par
take of the hospitality of the Mitchell
household and refused also to recognize
Miss Mitchell on the street.
1t is alleged, further. by several per-
sons, that Miss Ward has made remarks of
a decidedly uncomplimentary nature re-
garding Miss Mitchell, and this lat
ter allegation is supposed to have
been the cause of the tragedy.
Miss Mitchell is the 1S-year-old daugh-
niture dealer, and she and Miss Johnston,
in the latter's stylish turnout" were
familiar sight on the different drives about
the city.
Miss Ward is daughter of John Ward,
a planter and wealthy merchant of Gold
Dust, Ark.

APITTsBURG PATENT SUIT.
The Mccormick Harvesting Compan ny Asked

The Mccormick Harvesting Company Asked
to Settle by the Hussey Company.
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-[ Special. 1.-The Hus-
sey Manufacturing Company, of Pittsburg
began suit in the United States Circuit
Court to-day against the Mccormick Har-
vesting Machine Company, of this city, al
leging infringement ofpatent Of complain
ants moving machines. An interesting
fight in litigation will probably be the
result, as the complainant company has
fought William Deering & Co. Oh the same
issue, and the Eastern courts upheld the
patent in that suit.
Ephriam Smith, of Pittsburg, it is al
legged, was the inventor of the improved
moving machines, q patent for which was
issued to him October l, 1880. Smith after
ward sold the patent to the complainant, who
claims to have been in exclusive possession
of it since March, 1882. In 1884, the bill
says, preliminary and final injunctions
were issued against the Deering Company,
which, it was alleged, was turning out ma
chimes after the style ofthe Smith patent.
The bill does not sllege how long McCor-
mick has been using the Smith patent, but
not only asks an Injunction restraining
their further manufacture, but prays that
the moving machines now in the defend
ants possession which infringe on the COM
plainant's patent be destroyed or surren-
dered to the Hussey Manufacturing Com
pany, and that damages equal to three times
the amount of the actual damages be
awarded

THE PRESIDENT ATTACKED
BY San Francisco Paper That Says II,
Has Deceived the Public.

BY San Francisco Paper That Says He
Has Deceived the Public
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-The ETamine,.
(Democrat) in a long editorial headed
'There VIII Be No War;" violently at
tacks President Harrisons management of
the Chilean controversy. 1t says:
Nothing has occurred since the riot in
Valparaiso that will do so much to quiet
public feeling as President Harrison's mes
sage. The American people would be
insane to go to war on such showing.
That message disposes OF Mr. Harrison He
proves to be a little man, not only incapable
of dealing largely with questions as to the
nations peace, but also incapable of fair
ness and truth-telling when truth will
be near the nation which the United
States is in contro gersy. Mr. Harrison
has deliberately concealed from the people
of the United States that the chief reason
for evaporation against Chile that her Gov
ernment has expressed no regret for the
Valparaiso riot is groundless.
The Examiner quotes the communications
of Minister Montt of December II and
January 8, in which Chile deplores the riot,
and also quotes President Harrison's senti-
ment that these expressions are inadequate
and continues:
Whatever difference of opinion there may
be as to the adequacy of Chile's expressions
of regret, there can be but one opinion Of
the conduct OF the President of the United
States in suppressing them.

LADIES STAND BY THE KIRMESs.
Despite Vicious Attack on Their Morality
Made by a Clergyman.


KINGSTON, N. Y, Jan. 81 Special J.
Despite the strong current of popular
opinion and the united support of the local
press in favor of holding a kirmess to raise
the fund for public hospital, few of the
clergymen who signed the protest
are still denouncing the proposed
entertainment. 1t was thought that,
finding they had encountered more
opposition than they had expected, the pas
tors would not agitate the matter further,
but allow the society leaders to continue
their preparations and rehearsals unmo-
Tested. 1t was therefore surprise when
Rev. David A. Hanniburgh last night al
luded to the methods in vogue in Spain and
other continental countries, to indulge III
bull fights and other sports on Sunday, and
declared that the kirmess was even lower
than these. 1t was detrimental to health
ON account of the Iow-necked dresses worn by
the women, and was highly immoral, owing
to the shortness of the dresses. He directed
special attention to the fact that the ladies
who would take part would stand on an
elevated platform, and therefore their
small skirts would leave their ankles ex-
posed.
The sermon has been subject of much
comment to-day, and several younger MEM
bers of the church have expressed an in
tention to attend the kirmess, and if they
are blacklisted for SO doing, to join
churches of another denomination.
