married twenty-one years and their
life was a series of quarrels until their
separation few years ago. Since their

tried to kill his former wife.
Wednesday evening he armed himself
and proceeded to the house of the wom-
an, where Davis had apparently just
arrived, as he still wore his
overcoat. Cockerham stole up to
window in the dark and

Three Men Killed and Three Fatally
Hurt by Failing Wall at Jonesboro,
Tenn.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 2S.-Three
men We're instantly killed at Jonesboro
Friday afternoon by the collapse of u
brick wall in the courthouse. The
county authorities were having some
new vaults put in ard the walls had
been nearly completed, being about 35
feet high. Seven men We're on the wall
when it gave way without moments
notice. Six men We're carried down
with it and buried under the debris.
When they were removed three wefs
dead. They We're: BruceEldridge, Frank
Maynard and James Wilson. Three
others were badly hurt, and it is learned
all will die. The contractor, j. j.
Adams, who was also on the wall,
saved himself by swinging to pole in
midair until rescued. The collapse was
probably due to the absence of tie
vail and too generally faulty construc-
ton. Suits will be brought against the
ontractor and the county for damages
by the families of the dead men.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 2S.-The
supreme court has reversed the decision
OF Judge Taylor, of Terre Haute, by
which George NJ. Allen and w. o. Fish
back, proprietor and editor respectively
of the Terre Haute Express, were
committed to Jail for thirty days each
for contempt of court. The Express
published articles criticising the
grand jury and Judge Taylor in con-
nection with an investigation of alleged
municipal crookedness. The supreme
court holds that journalists have the
right to criticise public officials, but
that there is limit beyond which they
must not go. 1t is held that in this in
stance the criticism did not go beyond
the bounds.

A Long Tramp.

There arrived at Richmond, Ind, re-
Gently husband and wife, accompanied
by faithful dog, who, since Nov. l.
have walked more than 800 miles, and
who now find themselves within fifty
miles of their destination. The man is
John May. Since the date mentioned
he and his wife have walked every foot
of the distance from farm in South
Dakota, and they have not cut across
lots either. They proved mp claim ir
South Dakota, and experienced the hard
ships that thousands of other early set,
tiers in the northwest went through
with. Fate seemed turned against
them, and after they had lost almost
everything on their place they secured
few dollars and started on the long
tramp that is now almost ended.
Their destination is Dayton, o., and
today they refused assistance from char
table people who offered to pay their
car fare there, saying they preferred not
to break their record and would com
plete the journey on foot. The man is
twenty-eight years of age, the wife a
year younger, and they have been mar
ried but three years. After leaving
Dakota they walked through Iowa,
Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, ending their
journey in Ohio.-Cor. st. Louis Globe

Hot weather in Gold Fields.

The new African gold fields are prov
ing profitable beyond all expectations. 1t
was prophesied about one year ago that
the output of the Witwatersrandt dig
gings would reach 10000 ounces in De
cember, 1891, and one year later ,00O
ounces. Already the first prophecy has
been borne out, the average being about
$4,000 ounces month. 1t is warm
thought and not unpleasant still, that
when the latest reports from Natal were
written, from which the facts above
were taken, and when the people of this
country were shivering before the blasts
of winter, Natal was simply scorching
under a temperature of 100 degs. in the
shade, figure which was reached Oh
several occasions during Christmas
week. All trade was abandoned, the
people being content to exist without
exertion in such an awful heat.-Pitts-

A gtrango Reunion.

A strange reunion took place at the
Dunning Insane asylum Thursday after
noon, an error on the part of criminal
court bailiff leading to the meeting of
husband and wife, who thought each
other dead.
George and Lena Hillman lived hap
PLY at Oak Park. One night, not SO
long ago, George did not come home at
his usual hour, and his wife started to
look for him. He returned home and
then went out on hunt for her. While
she was wandering around the police
picked her up, and after short stay at
the Detention hospital she was sent to
Dunning, her identity being unrevealed
Almost the same performance was gone
through with the husband. He was to
be sent to the poorhouse, but an intelli-
gent bailiff got him mixed with an in
sane patient named Larson and he was
sent to the asylum.
The chief physician, who knew Hill
man, soon Strengthened the case out
when "Larson" was placed on the books.
He learned the unfortunate mans story,
and Wednesday located the wife in one
of the cottages occupied by women.
The matter was reported by Superin-
tendent Sawyer to the county commits
sioners, and Thursday, in the presence
Of Commissioners Spofford, Ballard and
Stauber, the reunion took place. Hill
man will stay at the poorhouse until his
wife is well enough to leave the asylum

A Land of Famine and PLENTY.

While the inhabitants of south and
eastern Russia are starving, large pro-
portion of the population of eastern
Siberia and Turkestan have so much
grain that they do not know what to do
with it. In the province of Semiret-
chinsk the peasants have enough grain
to last them for ten years, and in the
provinces of Yeneseisk, Yakutsk and
the Transbaikal the price of wheat is
one-eighth what it is in the Volga pro-
vinces. The best beef is being sold at
the rate of about ia. a pound, but as
there are no railways and few or no
roads in these rich portions of the en-
pire, this superabundant wealth cannot
be put to account.-London Tit-Bits.
