A PREDIoAuESr.
Samuel wiIIets Probably Married His
own Daughter.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.--Samuel Clinton
Willettg, aged ", who married his
some widow two ycars ago, Is in y
strange predicament. According to
the statement VI Willotts'a lawyer, to
whom he applied today Tor legal adj
Vice, Willetts probably welded his
own child. Willetts married his first
wife when both were under tho age of
twenty, and after the birth OF girl
baby thoy quarrelled and the wife an 4
child disappeared. Six years later,
aud after we'll founded reports OF their
death, Willeis married again aud u
son was horn 10 him, but HIS wife died.
The boy, George, growing % manhood,
Travelled for Plttsburg iirm, and on
Christmas, 1860, surprised mis- father
by returning from Cleveland with q
bride. The young couple lived happily
for tWenty-eight years, but childless
Ia 1883 George died. The father fro M
the fret had u singular affection for his
daughter.in-law, aud In 1850 they
were married in London, England.
Since then Mrs. Nilletts's reminiscent
ces, OF her childhood led to an inves-
tigntion, which, apparently, disclosed
the fact that Willetts's first wife,
seven years after deserving him, mar.
riod again, md though In turn
deserted by her husband, brought "a
little girl under her second husbnnd's
name OF Wright The mother died
shortly before George met Mis-

DEFINING.
The Man of Many Murders to BE Hanged
May 80.

MELBOURNE, May 0.-The execution
of Frederic Baily Deeming, the convicted
murderer was to-day set down for May
%. Deeming is kept in irons to keep
him from injuring himself and others,
for he is at times very savage, while in
his best mood he is ~forbidding and mo-
rose. He is reported as saying that his
mother predicted that he would hanged
before be reached the age of 40. With
regard to his family history, he states
that his fathers mind was unhinged, that
he was Of a very violent temperament
and that he died in a lunatic asylum at
B~irkenhead. His mother he describes as
good and kind, but she also was confined
in a lunatic asylum until shortly before
the prisoners birth. His brother Sam,
he also asserts, was likewise confined in
a lunatic asylum, but this was only kOnwn
to his other brother Albert. When in
England, last year, the prisoner declares
he vainly e~HdeavOred to ascertain tie
whereabouts of his brother Sam. He
has a sister who is employed as a house
maid at New Britain, near Liverpool,
and another who is not right in her head.
Deeming has also given information as
to some serious family trouble, which he
says occurred between 1880 and 1881.
These stories however are emphatically
denied by persons who know the Deem
ing family, and say that while never dis
tinguished by special energy of charac-'
ter, its members, except Frederick Deem
ing, were always respectable and clear
headed. Nobody in Melbourne puts any
faith whatever in the murderer's stories
about himself and others, although it is
believed that the manuscript which he is
preparing may give a substantially cor
rect accoun Of the tragedies at Rain
Hill and Windsor.

ColIiery Men Attack "A Non. unionist and
Demolish His Home.

\ "Ch "a N " wi anu
Demolish His Home.
LONDON, May 9.-Quite a serious riot
occurred Saturday at Castleden c~Olliery,
near Thartlepool. The trouble grew out
of the employment Of a ~non-unionist by
the name of Stockdale. The union men
attacked him Saturday evening as he was
leaving his work and would no doubt
have seriously injured him had it not
been for the interference of the police.
The rioters then turned their attention to
the latter and hurled showers of stones at
them. A number of policemen were
struck by missiles and badly injured.
StOCkdale took to his heels and ran to his
home; the mob was in strong force, and
finding that StOckdale had temporarily
escaped them, they rushed to the colliery
and smashed the engine house all to pieces.
Then procuring bags and baskets, they
made a descent upon the piles of coal,
and every man logged off as much fuel as
he could carry. Again and again they
returned, and it is said that they managed
to steal a hundred tons of coal. 1t is i'm
possible for the mine officials or the po-
licemen to prevent them from doing just
about as they please. Finally some one
in the crowd suggested that they attack
Stockdale's house. This suggestion met
with instant approval, and a bowling and
yelling mob rushed to the house, and in a
very short time it was totally wrecked.
The occupants, however, had been
warned in time, and made their escape
before the rioters rushed through. An
other house in which resided an official
Of the mine was set on fire, and then
satisfied for the time being with the de-
struction they had wrought, the rioters
withdrew. Yesterday, however, the mob
gathered again and threatened to wreck
all the upper works Of the colliery. The
mine officials pleadedwitb the mob, and
finally by promising to discharge Stock
dale, induced the miners to suspend hos.
Utilities.

How many women who fondly love
the golden symbol of their wedding vow
know why they wear it on the third
finger of the left hand? That particular
digit was chosen because it was believed
by the Egyptians to be connected by a
slender nerve with the heart itself. And
these ancient worshipers of Isis held
this finger sacred to Apollo and the sun,
and therefore gold was the metal chosen
for the ring.-Detroit Free Press.

List of Estates Contributing to the State

 The collateral inheritance tax is prov ing very beneficial to the state. It proves no hardship upon any one.
 The fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, showed nearly $75, ,0O0 as the proceeds of it. Among the estates paying the largest tribute to the state treasury were the following: John w. Beers, Cornwall, $2, ,S94.74; Caroline A Oliver, Middletown, $3, ,159.74; Jane E. Hunt ington, Middletown, $2, ,967 06; Lavinus B.

 What the tax amounted to in the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1899, has not yet been published, but it is not unlikely that there was some increase.
