Depravity and Death.

A soul sickening tragedy was en-
acted yesterday in Franklin county,
this State, in which an aged and here
tofore respected citizen of that county
was shot and instantly killed by his
equally aged brother-in-law. The two
men, whose names are Wilson and
Summers, respectively, lived near
Mulberry, Ark, q short distance from
Fort Smith. Both men were over
sixty years of age and are fathers of
large families
The flower of the Summers family
is pretty, sunny-haired, bright-eyed
girl of l6.
Wilson, her uncle, had always evinc.
ed an affection for his pretty niece,
but it was regarded as nothing more
than the love uncles usually have
for their nieces. About ten
days ago, however, Wilson aston
ished the girl by prostrating himself
at her feet and pleading for her love
with all the ardor of an cnamored
swain. The girl ropulsed her uncle's
unnatural advances, but she was afraid
to acquaint her family with the turn
affairs had taken.
Wilson, fired by his unholy passion,
continued to make love to the girl, fin
ally inducing her to leave home with
him, under the promise Of marriage.
Frightened by his threats and induced
by his superior will power, the young /.
and wholly inexperienced girl
took advantage of her ia
theirs temporary absence from home
TO elope with her unnatural and vii
lainous uncle. Upon returning home,
and discovering his daughters fight,
Mr.. Summers armed himself with a
shotgun and started in pursuit Of the
fugitives. lie had no difficulty In
tracing the run-a-ways, and finally
overtaking them at the house where
they were stopping, he demanded his
daughters return, this, Wilson abso-
lutely refused to accede to- saying
that he could not and would not, live
without his victim. The refusal, add
Ing insult to injury, SO angered the
outraged father Of the ruined girl,
that he raised his gun to level with
the aged seducer's breast, and without
a word, fred the charge of buckshot
into his breast, killing him instantly.
He then took his daughter, and after
escorting her safely back home, pro-
ceeded to Mulberry and surrendered
himself to the officers Of the law.

An Honored Texan.

That admirable trait Of human ma
ture, sometimes mistaken for the igno-
BILE sentiment of "hero Worship"
which prompts people to honor all
truly great and good men, shoula be
preserved as sacred principle and
transmitted from one to another,
throughout all succeeding generations.
"IIonor to whom honor is due" can
not be either a mistaken principle or
unfruitful practice. In no single State
Of this Union does this generous SEN
timent of the human heart prevail to q
greater extent than in the great State
Of Texas. This truth is brought forci-
bly, to mind by the following eloquent
and fitting tribute which brother
Texan pays to that distinguished son
Of the Lone Star State, Hon. Seth
Sheppard, of Dallas, upon the occasion
Of his departure to accept post Of
national honor. From long list Of
honored names we Gull that Of Hon.
Seth Sheppard, who by his own worth
and talent has brought himself into
national fame and repute, into high
position Of merit and distinction
where culture, intellect and learning
are alone paramount. We are not
seeking here to adorn his brow with
effulgent eulogy. His tastes, the char
acteristics indeed which adhere to the
man himself would qualify the ex-
treme. And yet there Is silent re-
gret mingling almost with whispers
of disappointment that, even in wear
ing the crown Of such high honors
Sheppard must depart from his ma
tive heath. II need not be said that If
he was beloved there in his own glad
some vineyard where the counsel of
wise and good mon was needed In
days that were perilous and uncertain,

Federal Court Proceedings.

The United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Arkansas
met al the usual hour yesterday morn
ing on the third day of the term,
Judge John A. Williams presiding.
Among the more important cases,
which have as yet been called for trial
was that of Tabor VS. Dorian, the cell
ebrated damage suit brought by Mrs.
e. A. Tabor, well known spiritualist
medium, against ex-Mayor G. G. Dor
rian, for false imprisonment, etc. Up
on motion this case was continued for
the term. A yet more important case
was that of Mrs. Amanda M. Hum
phrey VS. G.. l.. Bryant, asking dam
ages in the sum Of $25,000, for alleged
defamation of character In this case
o demurrer was filed to plaintiffs COM
plant, because same failed to state
facts sufficient to constitute cause of
action. The demurrer was promptly
sustained by the court, who, upon
plaintiffs motion, granted thirty days
in which to file an amended complaint.
In sustaining the demurrer the court
stated that while plaintiffs complaint
contained some actionable elements,
yet because ofcertain irrevelent matter
the same was insufficient and conse-
quently must be dismissed. We are
inclined to the opinion that this prac-
tically settles the case.

suspicious character arraigned upon a

The prisoner, who was quite well

not guilty, and the lawyer in concluding
his remarks said:
"What, your honor. that man va

Musical Tones.

A stringed instrument suspended in a
favorable position near pianoforte will
sound when tones corresponding to the
open strings are produced on the piano
forte. The volume of the answering
tone will depend upon atmospheric con-
ditions, the quality and color of the per-
suading tone and the sensitiveness of the
responding material. There is famil-
lar anecdote told of famous tenor, who
by singing the tone that was consonant
with that of wineglass, could make the
glass SILVER SO violently that it would
fall to pieces. 1t is because of this tonal
sympathy that the cause of harsh, rat
thing tone that may suddenly appear in a
pianoforte is detected with difficulty.
Though it may appear to be in the in
strument it is often far away and may
come from a loose globe or pendant on
chandelier. Even key in door has
been known to be the guilty cause.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat
