IN MEMORIAM.

Died suddenly In Washington, June End
OH treacherous earth, why hast thou
snatched from the midst OF a once hapuy
family, their priceless life long treasurer
Why hast thou with thy serene skies 81
blue, thy ripping streams Of silver. thy
countless sweet scented flowers, crushed
the heart Of most loving husband, and
len motherless cherished child.
Farewell, dear friend, sister, daughter,
wife. Ger thy new made mound shall
wave leafy trees, under whose shifting
shadows, thy bereaved friends shall offer
many ferycnt prayer, and thy freshly
sodded grave believed with the tears Of
crushed and aching hearts, shall grow
green with many summer verdure.
Farewell pious Christian; still wehear the
echoes Of thy lightsome laughter, but thy
gentle voice 10 forever hushed by the solemn
music Of Death.
Thou hast left Us by thy bright and holy
example, rich unperishable legacy. which
time can never afface, and as the perfumed
incense, fragrant In exotic odor, so will
Love and Mercy for the loving ones on
earth.

this estimable and most esteemed woman.
the number Of afflicted friends that paid
their last tribute Of respect 70 the deceased
and expressed their coincidence with the

Tomato esteem in which she was held by
all that knew her. In the minds and
hearts OF her family and friends, she will
ever live as model and type Of q good
woman. She bore her sufferings with
patience and resignation, and It was her
aim 70 keep her sufferings from those she
loved. She was devoted 10 her church,

From Homestead.

PrTTsBURG, Pa, July 25.-Hugh
O'Donnell, the leader of the Homestead
strikers, who is charged with murder,
was released this morning on SIC, 900
bail.
Hugh Ross, Martin Fay and Peter
Allen, three other defendants in the
Homestead murder cases, were also re-
leased on bail with O'Donnell.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July pa lull to-
day of the most pronounced kind open
ed the week in Homestead. The
strikers and soldiers at last seemed to
have fully settled down to the conclu-
sion that long tedious seige was be-
fore them and that there is nothing to
do but wait. Generally, any demon
stration when O'Donnell arrives was
deprecated, though few limited that a
well arranged Spontaneous" display of
their feelings was not altogether i'm
probable, The chances for a collision
with the troops were believed to be al
most if not quite at zero.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 25.-All ap-
proaches to the 33d street mill of the
Carnegie company are guarded this
morning by q large detachment ofpo-
lice. 1t is now about settled that an
effort will be made to put several hun
dred men in this mill as soon as they
can be arranged for. No strangers
have yet arrived at the works Only
the hands employed constantly since
the shut down, ten days ago, are ON
duty. But everything about the inte-
rior of the departments indicates that
they are In dead earnest for work.

CRUSHED BETWEEN CARs.-Ralph
Johnson, young man about 25 years
old, was crushed between shifting en-
CINE and stationary bumper in the
Baltimore and Ohio depot in Washing
ton on Saturday. Mr.. Johnson had
been spending the summer in the coun-
try, and passed through the depot to
take suburban train.
He stepped from the platform in the
depot and started to pass across the
track, not noticing that the passenger
train was making up and that another
section WIS being run into the cars
standing on the track. AS he was step
ping from the track the incoming sec
Jon coupled, throwing the standing
cars against the dictionary bumpers and
pinning aud crushing young Johiiss22n
between the car and block.
To add to the horror Of the situation,
the shifting engine at once drew away,
leaving the cars standing holding the
mangled body of the man standing, pin
ned to the bumper. Several of the
trainmen, who witnessed the accident,
at once attempted to relieve the unfor-
tunate young man, but found it impos-
sible to eXtricate him.
It was found necessary to run the
shifting engine back and draw away the
cars before the body could be taken out:
Life was extinct, however, when the
body was removed, and it was at once
taken to the home of his father, Harri
son johnson. the coal merchant.

THE ALICE MITCHELL TRIAL.-Th


THE ALICE MITCHELL TRIAL.-The
feature of the Mitchell trial in Memphis
on Saturday was the highly sensational
and wholly remarkable testimony o!
DR.. F. L. Sim, a medical expert and a
recognized authority of that city, who
said that the impression made on his
mind by the examination OF the de-
PENDANT was that she had undergone q
marked pathological change, and was
not responsible for her actions.
''She made her relations with Freda
very clear to me-" he said. at was
that there was mutual love between
them as between male and female.
Such cases are rare, but are on record
and are recognized By the profession
When Intercepted as to his opinion
of Miss NIitchell's mental condition, he
replied that she was undoubtedly in
sane. and that her form of mania was
rarely recovered from. He further said
that victims of physical abuse OF excess
siye indulgence are always afflicted with
melancholia, see!is seciusion, lose
pride and becomes indifferent to all
society.
'':o!!:::tt3nic love, or brain love, is the
love that rules the world, and sexual
indulgence is o secondary consideration.
| believe the love between these girls
was brain love. / saw no evidence Of
sexual depravity."
Continuing, the witness expressed the
opinion that insanity of defendant was
hereditary. In speaking of the thwart-
ing of the plans ofsuch an insane vic
tim of sexual pervers.oD All the sepa-
ration of her and the object of her af-
lection, the witness explained that in
sane jealousy would!ensue, and the illu-
sion that she must remove the object of
her love become imperative in her.
He was Of the opinion that defen-
dant's face did not show the intelli-
gence to be expected in a girl of her
years. There was nothing peculiar in
the eye. He was convinced she was
Insane from the examination. He had
no difficulty in classifying her form of
mania. He placed her in the class of
conceptions.
Miss Joe Ward testified that Alice
told her she was in love with Harry
Ralger. member of the local flour
hundred She said also that Alice
was member Of a SOCIAL club ana was
escorted to and from it by young men.

appears that the anti-option bill, nom
inally intended for the benefit OF the
farmers, does not prohibit the sale OF
flour futures, thereby allowing the mill

GEN. FIELD says there is chance o!
his being elected Vice President if the
Presidential election be thrown into
Congress and the democratic House
shall elect Mr.. Cleveland President, as
the republican Senate, being unable, by
the Constitution, to elect Mr.. Reid, be-
cause he also is from New York, might
vote for him. But tho Constitution
doesn't provide that the Senate shall
not elect a Vice President from the
same State from which the President
halls; and if the election of the next
Vice President devolves upon the Sen
ate, Mr.. Reid viii be elected as surely
as Gen. Field says he wont be. The

THE NEW YORK Tribune, the Mail
and Express, and otherrepubiican news
papers in New York city and State, de-
nounce the people of Virginia for al
,eged denial of the privilege Of suffrage
to the negroes who live here. No Vir-
ginia negro says the privilege referred
TO is denied him, because he knows it is
not. and that, so far from it, he votes,
and has his vote counted, though he
never paid cent of any sort of tax in
all his life, and though his children are
schooled at the expense of the school
tax imposed upon his white neighbors.
But what can be said of the ignorance
or ailrontery Of the papers referred TO,
when it is known chat even the consti-
tuition of their own State provides that
negroes not taxed shall not be counted
in the enumeration for State represen-
tation?
