SHOCKING STORY.
Tho Daughter OF Lord Kills Her Little
Chiid-ried Its Arms Together. Then
Strung az Up Against tho Wall.

Tho Daughter OF n Lord Kills Her Little
Chiid-ried Its Arms Together. Then
Strung IT Up Against the Wall.
BELFAST. Feb. 1S-A dispatch from
Colerain, in County Londonderry, for
ty-seven miles from here. says that
Mrs. Anna Margaret Montague. daugh-
ter of Lord Robert Montague, was
committed for trial Wednesday morn
ing on the charge of causing the death
of her daughter. Mary Helen Montague,
child only three years of age.
IL seems that the poor child had been
badly used by its governess, in addition
TO being the object of the hatred OF it's
mother. In fact. the harsh action of the
governess seems to have led to the
tragedy. The latter. for some childish
escapade upon the part of her charge,
locked the little girl up in n
dark room as n punishment and then
informed the mother. Mrs. Montague
of the child's offense and of the punish
ment.
The mother appeared TO have become
so enraged at her little daughters con-
duct that she resolved to punish her
still more severely, and, going to the
dark room in which the child was. Mrs.
Montague tied her baby daughters
arms behind her back with some stout
string which cut into the tender limbs
Not satisfied with this treatment, she
connected the end of the string about
the child's arms TO ring in the wall,
half stringing her up and half fastening
her to the wall in order, apparently. to
prevent her from moving about. Tho
child cried piteously to be released,
promising, amid heart-rcnding sobs,
never to offend again; but the mothers
heart was steeled against her babes
prayers, and she went away and locked
the door.
After the mother left the child in the
position mentioned, the poor child's
cries grew fainter and then ceased en-
tirely. Three hours passed before any
body thought of going to the room. At
the expiration of that time, the door of
the dark room was visited, and when
several knocks failed to obtain a reply
from the child, the door was opened, and
little Mary was seen huddled up under
the ring in the wall, her pretty curls
covering her face, which was hanging
downward, the body being upheld by
the cruel string fastened aroung her
arms and secured to the ring referred
to. When the bright curls were brushed
away from the child's forehead, il was
seen that her face was horribly discol-
ored and distorted, and n further ex-
animation showed that poor little Mary
was dead, having been cholsed to
death.
The house was alarmed, and medical
attendance was sent for, but all efforts
to bring the child back to life proved
fruitless. The mother and governess
were in despair, but the physician,
servants and neighbors who heard of
the affair were furiously indignant, and
insisted that justice should be done.
The result was that the police were in
formed and soon after n warrant for
the arrest of Mrs Montague was is.
sued.

BOGUS TITLES.
To Over Six Million Acres of Land Il

To Over Six Million Acres of Land In
Montgomery County, Georgia.
ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 17.-Inquiries
coming to the secretary of state from
New York, Pennsylvania and the states
of the northwest, develop the fact that
large number of bogus titles to land
in Montgomery, are being offered for
sale by sharpers The secretary fur
nishes history of these titles
In 1894 warrants for the survey of
over $500, 600 acres in Montgomery
county were issued to be settled under
the head right law. The papers on file
regarding the matter bear internal evil
dences of fraud, in that the work was
done by surveyors in time in which it
was physically impossible to accom-
plish il.
Tatnall county was organized from
Montgomery county, and additions to
each of these have since been made.
Notwithstanding these additions the
tax digest of 1890 shows that both
counties together contain now only
1000, 600 acres, which shows, if the sur
vey of 1894 be true, n shrinkage of over
5000, 600 acres
The titles with which the west and
the north are now being flooded owe
their origin TO these evidently bogus
surveys to over 5000, 900 acres of land
which have no existence. The story as
to who profited by the fraud of 1894 has
long been lost

THE SEAL QUESTION
Is Now Waiting on Lord Salisbury for De-
termination.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The Behring
sea controversy was the principal topic
of discussion ut Fridays cabinet meet
ing. There is no particular change in
the situation, and none is looked for
until Lord Salisbury acts on the treaty
of arbitration, n draft of which, drawn
on lines understood to be equally ac-
ceptable to both governments, was
submitted to him early this week
In order to get the treaty be-
fore the senate as soon as possible, it
was arranged that Lord Salisbury should
communicate his action by cable. So
far, however, nothing has been heard
from him on the subject. The policy
of this government with regard to the
coming sealing season will depend
largely on the action of the British
government on the question of arbitra-
ton. There is scarcely doubt, how
ever, that an arrangement will be
made somewhat similar to that of last
years modus vivendi The president
has issued the usual proclamation
against poaching in Behring sea. 1t
is almost identical with the one issued
last year.

some Theories That DO Not Quite Explain
How Grandma Phillips Received Her Ter
ribie Injuries.
ATHENS. o.. Feb. 2o.-The Investigate
ing committee at the Athens asylum
did very little Friday in making pro-
gress here in the investigation OF tho
Grandma Phillips's" case at Wellston.
The entire day has been spent taking
medical testimony.
Early in the morning Drs. Alderman
and Tinker, of this city, were sent by
the Athens asylum board TO Wellston
for the purpose of making an examine
ton into the case of Mrs Sarah Phil
lips. They returned in the afternoon,
and have submitted their report. which
in no manner differs from that of all
the other physicians who have been
called into the case and made examina-
tions for the family. as well as the
Athens board of trustees
There is no dispute in the minds of
any of the physicians regarding one
fact, that Mrs Phillips has in her right
side, extending from the shoulder
blade down To near her hip, n black
and blue spot which the doctors say
was caused by capillary hemorrhage
the result of bruise.
The people do not care what names
these injuries are classed under: they
desire TO know what in this particular
case has been the cause. The theory
has been advanced that Mrs. Phil
lips had received this bruised con-
dition as the result of par.
TALLY paralyzed condition of her
right side, which caused her to lean on
the arm of the roclSing-chair in which
she was always kept sitting while she
remained in the asylum. Another the
DRY is that she was hurt accidentally
during her fighting while in bath, or
rather when the attendants were about
to remove her from her bath.
