case in which an attempt was made by

ing thrown spirits Of wine on her husband
and then set fire to the infiammable matter.
The man expired in fearful agony, but was
conscious to the last, and kept repeating
that it was his wife who had caused his
horrible sufferings. The affair happened
on March 81. Schlegel was an artisan hv.
ing in the Avenue de Paris, near st.
Denis, and is said to have been a quiet,
steady, Woodworking fellow.
His wife had the reputation Of being a
shrew, and had frequently made her hus-
band Vince by the acrimonious vigor of her
tongue. Every evening there were bicker
ings between the pair, and, according TO the
Indictment, on the night OF March II,
Schlegel, after an exceptionally hard days
TOLL was in no mood for the seedlings of his
wife. She, however, continued nagging, and
he made but monoeyllablic replies to her re-

There was immediately a vast sheet of

door, which was closed. He succeeded in
removing the bolt, and ran to the landing,
shrieking for help. Some neighbors arrived
aud, seeing his piteous condition, enveloped
him In wet sheets He had, however, been

THE BRIDEGROOM WASN'T NERVOUS.
George Bailey, a well-to-do farmer liv-
ing near Norwich, Pa, had been keep
ing company with Esther Bailey. his
second cousin, for seven years. They
finally decided to marry, and the cere-
mony was to have been performed at
the home of the brides parents week
ago last Wednesday a large number
of guests were present, but the pros
pective bride suddenly disappeared.
She was found locked in her room. To
the frantic appeals Of her parents to
come out she had but one reply:
I'm too nervous I'm too nervous .
It'll have to be put off,
Nothing would avail with her, and
the ceremony had to be postponed
The agitated bride from her locked
room said she would be married on the
following Monday, and the groom con-
sented to the reprieve. Monday came,
and the bride was ready at theappoint-
ed hour. But the bridegroom did net
come. In his place came a message. 1t
said:
''Fm not nervous. On the contrary,
I've got nerve enough to pos pone this
wedding indefinitely
The wedding party adjourned sine die.

THE NATIONAL platform upon which

THE NATIONAL platform upon winch
the democrats gained their recent sig
lal victory demanded an immediate
and unconditional repeal of the present
silver bill, by which the rich silver mine
owners are enabled to dump into the
Treasury four and a half million dol
lars of silver bullion every month, at
the highest market price, and by the
depreciation in the value of which the
government has already lost many mil
lions of dollars. This wise demand 't
the national democratic platform should
be complied with to the letter, that is,
as soon as the democratic new Congress
can assemble. Compliance with ii
should not be delayed until the regular
meeting of the new Congress, ior: dur
ing that interval, ffty-four million more
of silver bars will be purchased from
the silver mine owners and added to
the hundreds of millions already stored
in the Treasury vaults, unused and UNI

FEARFUL BATTLE WITH a NAL
DoG.-Mr. II. c. Burks, who lives
about four and Il half miles from the
city in Campbell county, near the Bed
ford line. had an adventure with a
mad dog last Tuesday. which he will
remember to his dying day His ac-
count OF the affair is rs follows:
Last Tuesday Mr.. Burks. who was
sitting down in his house, had his at
tention attracted by a strange dog at
lacking his dog. which was lying down
in the yard. He went to the door,
when the strange animal. foaming ut
the mouth, sprang towards him. He
retrcated into the house, attempting 10
close the door behind him, but in doing
so caught the head aud shoulders of the
brute between the door and facing,
where by main strength he held him.
He called to his wife 10 bring his
double-barrcl gun, with which he at
tcmptcd TO shoot the dog, using one
hand while he held the door with the
other. The dog caught the muzzle in
his mouth and Mr.. Burks fired, but the
charge of shot passed through his lips
and lodged in the wall, practically do
ing the brute no injury.
He then discharged the other barrel,
shooting the dog in the head and
shoulder, when the brute retired to the
yard, and fell. apparently dead, but no
sooner did Mr.. Burks attempt to strike
him with an axe than he arose and
again made an attack on him. He re-
tired into the house, reloaded his gun,
and finally killed the dog.
Mr. Burks states that between fifteen
and twenty dogs have been bitten in
his ncighborhood, so far as is known,
by this strange dog, and that he also
bit an old colorcd woman, whose name
he did not remember. Most of the
dogs known to have been bitten have
been killed, and others confined. The
neinghorhood is greatly excited over
the situation.-LynchJurg NeWs
