AN ARDENT LOVER.
ACCUSED OF TRYING TO CUT FLORA
PALMA'S THROAT.
A Handsome Young WOman's Exciting
Experience-She Displays Very
Fetching Love Letter.

In Justice Owens's court yesterday
morning warrant was issued for the
arrest of Kingyard Wilson, charged with
battery by Flora Palma. The latter
lives on Rosas street, near Bellevue ave-
nue.. She is handsome Young woman
and has been annoyed with the atten-
tions Of number of lovers of late.
On Friday night Mrs. Palma had oc-
casion TO go out into the back yard of
her house, and on her return was sur
prised at feeling somebody grasp her
dress. She thought at the moment that
it was pet dog, but the next instant
was grasped about the neck by man.
The mysterious individual had a knife
in his hand, and after asking her
whether she would be his wife, at
tempted to cut her throat. Mrs. Palma
screamed for help, and scared off
the murderous individual. When she
appeared yesterday TO swear to COM
plant she displayed several light
scratches on her throat. She claimed
that her assailant's weapon was razor,
but it seemed very improbable that, if
such had been the case, her wounds had
not been more serious.
The complaining witness in obtaining
her complaint displayed to the district
attorney letter which she had received
the day before the assault from King
yard Wilson, who, as the saying goes,
had been camping on her trail" for
some time. The text of this communi
cation was as follows:
Flora my darling l am going to right
my first and last to yoo and 1 will for
give 700 for breaking my heart as you
have Done flora when told you that l
foold you and 1 asked 700 to Be my Dar-
ling wife my own you only Taught at me
and told me that yoo Loved some one
else not knowing that it would cost yoo
your Life when you refused me yoo
knew that Loved 700 Dearly But still
you trampeled my Love under your feet
1 come to night to ask 700 to Be my
wife once more and if 700 refuse me 1
will fix you go no one else wont get you
whoever he may Be. Good By my sweet
one for ever 700 told me that 700 hated
me But Love you still Ever your
friend KINGYARD WILSON.
On the strength of this letter the war
rant mentioned was issued by the
court and placed in the hands of Officer
Bill Huston for service.

FOR THE RAILROADS.

The Supreme Court Reverses a Dam
age Suit.
An opinion has been handed down by
the suprem court in the case of Louisa
V. Martin against the Southern Califor-
MIA Railway company. This case was
appealed by the railroad company, and
had it's origin in the death of Arthur
Martin, husband of Louisa Martin. The
deceased had been brakeman in the
employ of the appellant company, and
while endeavoring to couple caboose
and freight car he was caught between
the bumpers and instantly killed. 1t
was contended by the railroad company
that Martin did not exercise ordinary
care in coupling the cars.
On the other hand it was claimed that
the appliances furnished for the coupling
of the cars by the railroad company
were not of proper character and by
reason OF this negligence Martin met
his death. In the court below the fol-
lowing instructions for the plaintiff
were submitted to the jury:
'If the service to be performed by
said Martin in making the coupling
was of character to require that his
exclusive attention should be fixed
upon it, and that he should act with
rapidity and promptness, the law does
not require that he should always bear
in. mind the nature, kind and dangerous
character of said coupling appliances,
or be prepared at all times to avoid it,"
The supreme court holds this to be
bad law, and holds that if mans injury
was the outgrowth of his mind not being
on his work when engaged in danger
GUS operation that he was guilty of con-
tributory negligence. The judgment
of the lower court is reversed.

DICERS IN COURT.
The Game Does Not Come Under
Statute.

The Game Does Not Come Under the
Statute.
John Long and B. Foster, who were
accused of "rolling' New York drum
mer for $500 in a dice game, were before
Justice Owens yesterday.
The charge of conspiracy was dis
missed in a demurrer, because no GRIM
inal action could be proved. The prose-
cution could not show that the game
was one of percentage or banking, and
it did not therefore come under the
statute. There is still a charge of
gambling against the defendants, and q
demurrer has been filed in this case also.
1t will be heard next Friday.

nARyEsr MoME. sERy1crs.

The large attendance of members
and friends at the Lutheran church
yesterday morning indicated a deep
interest in the special services called
Harvest Service. In accordance with
an old time custom, tho abandoned
or omitted for many years-this festi-
val OF the church was revived. The
recess pulpit and platform contained
choice samples of the products of the
farm and garden. Sheaves of wheat,
rye and oats, and stalks of corn and
sugar-cane, tied with pretty ribbons
We're artistically arranged about the
platform. On one side of the pulpit
was a pyramid Of beautiful and choice
fruits; on the other was pyramid Of
vegetables. Opposite these pyramids,
arranged in an attractive manner were
the larger products Of the field, such
as melons, pumpkins, cantaloupes, etc.
Large bouquets of golden-rod and fall
flowers adorned and beautifed the
surroundings. The pastor, Rev. G. s.
Trump, preached from thetext- They
joy before Thee, according to the joy
in harvest" Is. 9-3, In his address
he referred to the odd and beautiful
Hebrew practice Of celebrating the
y
Harvest feast, and dwelt upon the ma
ture of this harvest joy, that it was a
reasonable, universal and holy joy.
that the abundant harvests Were a
Sign of Gods activity and proof Of his
fidelity, and that the greatest occasion
for gratitude to the Giver Of all good,
is when orr granaries are filed and
barns Overlooking with the products OF
the soil. The services were very APP
propriate and impressive, calculated to
call forth great gratitude to God for
the abundant tokens of his goodness to
men.

HAeERsTowS, Nh, 12.-Yesterday
morning George Walick, a yonng
farmer, whose home was several miles
from Funkstown, on the Henry Eakle
farm. committed suicide by shooting
himself in the head with a shotgun.
His body was found on the outside Of
the house, near a window, and from
the position of the gun it is supposed
he held the weapon with its butt be-
tween his feet and that lie pushed the
trigger with stick which was found
close by. He was about thirty-fve
years old and leaves q wife and two
children. HeAwas just recovering from
an attack Of typhoid fever and his

ed. All the surrounding circumstances
indicated suicide so clearly that an in
quest was not deemed necessary.

KILLED HIS YOUNG BRIDE.

PITTsBuRG, Sept. 12.-Frank Gar
vim, a newspaper artist, aged % years,
shot his wife Cora through the heart
about noon, Friday, at their home on
Avery street, Allegheny. The couple
were married last Tuesday, and the
cause of the deed is supposed to have
been insane jealousy. Mrs. Garvin
was 20 years of age and very pretty.
She was daughter of Homer Redpath,
of Chicago, a former resident of this
city, ard came here on Monday last to
marry <Garvin. The murderer is in
Jail.
While on his way to the stations
house, Garvin tried to shoot himself,
but was prevented by Police Captain
Agnew, who disarmed him. That he
evidently contemplated suicide was
shown by a note written on sketch
ing pad, and found in his pocket when
searched by the police. The note bid
goodbye to his mother and sisters, and
requested that his backsalary be given
to friend, who had loaned him money.
Garvin was aquiet, unassuming young
man, very industrious, and never in
.dulged in intoxicants.
The murdered woman was we'll
known here, and famed for her beauty.
Tkea4notive for the tragedy is still a
mystery. Garyin refused to say any
thing, and the couple were alone at
the time. Mrs. Garvin died almost
instantly. w.
