CHAPTER XVIII.
WAITING FOR REVENGE.


There was a slight, only very slight diff
ference of opinion between Lady Darrell
and h0r aunt after the reading of the will.
Lady Hampton would fam have given up the
Elms, and have gone to live at Darrell Court.
Sir Oswald's will is a very just one" she
said admirable in every respect; but should
never dream. were l in your place, Elinor Of
Keeping that proud girl here. Let her so. 1
will come and live with you. l shall make a
better chaperon than that poor, faded Miss
Hastings"
But Lady Darrell was eager to taste the
sweets of power, and she knew how COM
pletely her aunt would take every vestige OF
ii from her.
She declared her intention to adhere most
strictly to the terms of the will.
And, aunt" she continued, with frmness
quite new to her, sit would be SO much bet
ter, think, for you to keep at the Fins.
People might make strange remarks if you
came here to live with me-
Lady Hampton was shrewd enough to see
that she must abide by her niece's decision.
The Captain was to remain only two days
at Darrell Court and Lady Darrell was anX.
ious to spend some little time with him.
Il like the Captain, aunt" she said; che
amuses me-"
Lady Hampton remembered how she had
spoken of him before and it was not her in
tention that her beautiful niece should fling
away herself and her magnificent fortune on
Aubrey Langton.
"She is sure to marry again." thought the
lady; "and lowered as she is, she ought to
marry duke. at least"
She represented to her that it was hardly
etiquette for her, widow so young, and hel
loss being so recent to entertain handsome
young officer.
II do not see that the fact of his being
handsome makes auv difference. aunt" said

Miss Mitchell Murders Her Former
Friend, Hiss Ward, at
Memphis.
The Deed Committed With a Razor
ON the Public
Street.
The Reason Supposed to be Rumors OF
Unc0mplimentary Remarks by
the Victim.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 25.-One of the
most sensational tragedies which has oc-
CURED in this city for years was commit
ted this afternoon. Both the victim and
her slayer were prominent society young
ladies, and the affair is the talk of the
town tonight. At four clock Miss Freda
Ward, of Gold Dust, Ark, and her sister,
we're walking up towards the custom house
when a buggy containing Miss Alice
Mitchell and Lizzie johnson drove up to
the walk and as the former couple
were opposite the buggy Miss Mitchell
sprang out Of the buggy, grasped Miss
Ward by the neck, drew a bright razor
from the folds of her dress and with it cut
the throat of her victim Miss Ward sank
to The pavement and the murderess jump
ing into the buggy. exclaimed: DRIVE
on, I've done it, and rapidly drove to
her home, The sister of the murdered
girl had tried to hold her assailant, but
also received a slight cut
Miss Ward was carried to the infrmary
but expired just as the institution was
reached Miss Mitchell was arrested at
her home and conveyed to jail two hours
after the affair. While. the cause of the
killing is not positively apparent, it is be-
lieved that Miss Mitchell did it because
of allegations to the effect that
Miss Ward, her former friend, had made
some remarks of decidedly uncomplimen-
tary nature regarding her. The murder
ess is the nineteen year old daughter of a
retired furniture dealer. George Mitchell
and her victim is the daughter of John
Ward, a wealthy merchant and planter of
Golddust, Ark. The coroner's jury
charges Miss Mitchell with premeditated

CHAPTER XNVTI.
READING OF THE WILL


Assistance was soon procured, and Sir OS-
wald was carried to his room; DR.. Helmstone
was sent for, and when he arrived the whole
house was in confusion. Lady Darrell wrung
her hands in the most graceful distress.
Nov, Elmor," said Lady Hampton, pray
do not give way to anything of that kind.
1t is a fortunate thing for you that am here.
Let me beg of YOU 10 remember that, what
ever happens you are magnihcently provided
for, Sir Oswald told me as much. There is
really no need to excite yourself in that fash
ion."
While Lady Darrell, with few graceful
EXPLANATIONS and very pretty show of sor-
row, managed to attract all possible sympa-
thy, Pauline moved about with still, cold
face, which those best understood who knew
her nature 1t seemed incredible to the girl
that anything unexpected should happen to
her uncle. She had only just begun to love
him; that evening had brought those two
proud hearts closer together than they had
ever been; the ice was broken; each had a
glimmering perception of the real character
of the other-a perception that in time would
have developed into perfect love. 1t seemed
too hard that after he had just begun to like
her-that as soon as fresh and genuine SEN
timent was Springing up between them-he
must ole.
For it had come to that. Care, skill, talent,
watching, were all in vain; he must die.
c-.va-facnd doctors had consulted about
him, and with professional keenneSs had
seen at once that his case was hopeless. The
ailment was a sudden and dangerous one
violent inflammation of the lungs. No one
could account for the sudden seizure. Sir
Oswald had complained of pain during the
day, but no one thought that it was anything
of serious nature. His manner. certainly,
had been strange, with a sad pathos quite
unlike himself; but no one saw in that the
commencement of q mortal illness.
Lady Hampton frequently observed how
fortunate it was that she was there To all
inquiries as to the health of her niece she
replied. Poor, dear Lady Darrell is bear
ing up wonderfully" and with the help OF
pathetic little speeches, the frequent use OF

Criminal Proceedings Against III. X.
Osborn I'm the Bribery Case.


Osborn I'm the bribery Case.
BosroN, June l5-The house bribery
Investigating committee has made the
following report: Several public hear
ings. duly notified aud advertised,
were held aud all persons whose names
were from any source suggested to the
committee as witnesses were summoned
TO appear and testify. The committee
realized at the outset the great practical
difficulty in securing positive evidence OF
actual bribery, IL any existed, since 10 Is
Yn otfense which by its nature would be
known 10 the guilty parties only. and they
would not testify truthfully. because this
confession would subject them to the
heavy penalties whic' have properly been
imposed upon a cri IS so degrading and
fatal TO the state Two members OF the
house testified that they heard rumors
that money was being offered to af-
feet leg islatlon, and that IL any
thing OF this kind was going on they
would like the evidence to bring 1t TO
justice;" that they suspected one Horace
X. Osborn, whom they had frequently
seen about the lobby, Of Offering money to
influence legislation; that In pursuance of
this end OF securing evidence they led
said Osborn to think they were open to
pecuniary influence, and they were ca ch
promised by him 500 to vote for the Cape
Cod Maritime Canal company bill, and
$50 to vote against the bill to wind up the
endowment orders. After the appoint
ment of this committee, but before any
hearing could be held. these witnesses
made criminal complaint before a
magistrate in Boston against said Osborn,
based upon the same statements made to
the committee, as q warrant was issued,
and Osborn has been thereon arrested,
and the case is now pending in the
criminal court.
BY chapter 456 OF the acts of 1890, sec
tion 4, the general court has power to dis
bar any person from employment in the
capacity Of legislative counselor or agent,
provided that such person be allowed a
hearing before a committee or otherwise,
upon the question Of his disbarment and
that cause be shown therefor. This COM
mittee is Of opinion that the evidence be-
fore 10 was so eliminating as 20 justify
the legislature in passing upon the ques-
tion whether Horace X. Osborn should be
disbarred from acting as legislative
agent or counsel; and, inasmuch as the
hearing OF the charges against him should
be by joint committee Of the senate and
house OF representatives. it recommends
that a joint special committee be ap-
pointed to try that question.

Qor the committee.)
In the house the Butler saloon bill was
passed TO third reading. The anti-lottery
bill and policy bill were engrossed. The
bill to authorize Sons of Veterans guards
