Killed Her Slanderer.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 6.-In June
last |. L. Wilson, of Sherwood, Iron
county, was arrested and jailed for
slandering Mrs. Lennie Taylor, the
wife of a Sherwood barber. Wednes-
day afternoon Mrs. Taylor went to the
jail armed with a pistol, and as Jailer
Williams was taking dinner to the pris-
oners she slipped in behind him, and
upon reaching the cage of her slanderer
she sent a bullet whizzing through his
brain, killing him instantly. The SYM
pathy is strong in supporting Mrs. Tay-
lors action, and no arrests have been
made

YOUNG FALEs' CHANCES.
Chief of Police Hopper Says the Boy
Will be Hanged.

NEWARK, N. j., May 6.-The inquest
into the cause of the death of old Thomas
Hayden, the cashier of the Potter straw
hat factory, has been postponed till this
afternoon. There is considerable specu-
lation here as to whether young Fales
will ever be hanged for the crime. His
mother has not yet engaged any counsel
for him. 1t is believed, however, that
when the youths trial comes up the de-
tense Will be emotional insanity.
The boy is beginning to appreciate
somewhat the full meaning of the ter
rlble charge against him, and he is un-
ceasing in his assertions that he did
not mean to kill Hayden, but only to
disable him SO that he could get the
money that he knew was in the cash
ters possession.
In discussing the case with a reporter,
Chief Of Police Hopper said:"I is not true
that Fales has implicated others in this
crime. He was alone and unaided. The
case is perfectly clear against him, and
there is little doubt in my mind that he
will hang for the murder"
The last time boy under 20 was
hanged in New Jersey was in 1897, in
LIoltoiuou county. ne yOuIu was
James Guild, colored boy of 12 years
and A months, who killed Catherine
Blakes, an aged woman, at Hopewell.
Like Fales, Guild confessed the crime,
but declared that he did not mean to
kill the woman.
Whether Fales intended to kill Hay
don or not, the fact that he did kill him
and awaited his coming with deadly
weapon is against him. The statute is
malntory

of terrible wreck at Medill, Mo. The

All the Santa Fe wires are down, and
the railway officers tried for long time
in vain to discover the full extent of
the accident. Third Vice President
Springer said that the accident was re-
ported to have been caused by a water
spout filling the ravine and carrying
away the bridge. The train plunged di-
rectly into the water from the broken
rails, and the cars must have piled them
selves one on the other. There are
usually seven coaches in the train.

Vulite as a Fire CT.

Vulite is chemical compound, the invention of Max Eberhardt, of Lucerne, and is stated to be nine times more eff fective than ordinary water in extin- gushing fire, and among it's other qual- ities possesses the remarkable faculty of rendering individuals virtually fireproof. The impunity with which the exhibitors approached great masses of flame, and appeared to be almost as if in their na- tive element, was not the least remark able feature of display. With the hands dipped in this solution burning materials may be manipulated with per feet safety. The first experiment was supposed to represent the upsetting of parafine lamp, the oil flowing in a stream over the tablecloth and immedi- ately blazing up in furious flame By simply passing the hands over the burn ing cloth this flame was speedily extin- guished, although the table itself had caught fire, and the exhibitor appeared to be in no little danger
 In the next place mass of pitch ill small pit was ignited and allowed to get thoroughly alight, the smoke and flames rising up in volumes. The application of two buckets of vulite had an almost magical effect, the flames dying down at once, while not only the fire but even the heat arising therefrom entirely dis appeared. The same result followed in the case of a mass of burning rosin, which, blazing up furiously, was in simultaneously extinguished by bucket ful of the vulite.-New York Telegram.
