An Actress shoots Herself.

Miss Maud Maddox was sitting at the piano in the parlor of the Ouachita house, Hot Springs, the other evening, chatting and playing. A young man who was with her at the time remarked that he would leave, as he had to go to the post office to mail letter.
 When you get back shall be dead" she remarked.
 The young man thought she was jok- ing. Upon on his return fifteen min- utes later the young woman was a corpse. She had gone to her room and shot herself through the heart with a revolver. At the inquest it was developed that the young woman was an actress known in professional life as "Trixie Bennett" that she has hus- band named Crawford in an asylum for the insane somewhere in Illinois; that she has a brother, l.. R. Maddox. a telegraph operator at Galesburg, Ill.,, and that she had been in Hot Springs since last April. The brother was com municated with and took charge of the body.

MR. JAMES BRYCE, in his American Commonwealth" declares that the weakest point he discovered in our re- publican system is in the department of municipal governments; that the ad- ministration of affairs in most, if not all. of our larger cities is conspicu- ous and lamentable failure. Other equally friendly foreign critics have said the same, and the unpleasant truth is very generally conceded by in- telligent and thoughtful observers at home. It is a fact, however. that our weakness lies almost entirely in the horde of foreign boodlers who worm their way into the municipal political machines.

Girl Tortured to Death.

Henry Wheeler and his wife, colored, who live in the north suburbs of Texarkana, were arrested and lodged in jail on the charge of murdering the 16-year-old sister of. the latter, who had been living with them. It is charged that they tied her hand and foot and left her alone for days at time in a secluded cabin. The flies got on to the lacerated portions of her body upon which she had been beaten and screw worms resulted by the hundreds. When found she was literally living skele- ton, and was too far gone to receive any benefit from medical attention. A coroner's jury found it a case of mur- der, and Wheeler and his wife will re- main in jail until the next grand jury, which meets in November. Wheeler has always borne good character among the white people, but was dis liked by the negroes because of his aristocratic manner. He has been sex ton for ten years at the Southern Meth odist church.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
A "yvater Haul.-

Mike Riegler, prominent merchant of Little Rock, was arrested the other day on complaint of Supt. Amesbury of the Home Water Co. The company al- leges that Riegler has unlawfully taken from 1000. .000 to 100000 gallons of water from the company during the past month. The water alleged to have been taken by Riegler was drawn from three fire hydrants on the property of William Farrell, in East Little Rock. Riegler has a garden, containing thirty acres. Supt. Amesbury claims that Riegler dug trenches on his property and was in the habit of running water from the hydrants through these trenches every night, thereby thorough ly irrigating his garden. At least 270,0oo gallons of water passed through the hydrant in six hours.
 Mir. Amesbury was seen soon after the warrant was served. He said: I've think we have sufficient evidence to prove our charge. There is no telling how long Mir. Riegler has been using the water. but 1 am almost certain it went on for a month. We were first apprised of the matter by discharged employe of Rieglers, who said that Riegler dismissed him for stealing a quarter. He told me that Riegler ran the water from one of the hydrants nearly every night. The watchman at Farrell's mill tells me that Riegler ran a stream in his garden as long as six hours at time.'
 Mir. Riegler denies the charge.

Powell Acquitted.

fOWeu AcQultte0s
 At Newport the jury in the case of Pennywright Powell, charged with murdering Conductor McNalley at Oly- phant on November 3, 1893, returned a verdict of not guilty.
 Since the hanging of Brady, Manaker and Wyrick on April for this same charge there has been complete change of sentiment. Although the prisoner fled the country and was cap tured in Denver in February and ad- mitted his connection with the rob- bery, the prosecution failed to estab- fish his direct presence at the crime.
 He was immediately rearrested and held for the next term of court on the charge of train-robbery. His wife was constantly at his side during the trial.

Two Graves In Greenwood.
Edgar Fawcett in Godey's.


The great cemetery of Greenwood was
rich with melancholy charm, below an
almost cloudless heaven of latter NAV.
All day long soft yet ample breezes had
been roaming through the verdurous al
leys and paths of this most beautiful
burial place, with murmurs like those of
invisible spirits mourning for the lives
they had left behind them. The air was
heavy with odor from blossoming trees
and from the countless clusters of flowers
that cleaned beneath countless tomb
stopes.
And yet, for all the beauty and bril-
lance of the day. it has been one Of
many funerals Almost from early morn
ing till now, half-past 4 O'Clock, the bell
at the big granite gateway has incessant-
ly tolled. Train after train of carriages
had followed hesrse after hearse.
1t CHANGED, an hour or 80 past noon.
that two funerals came TO bury their dead
in two plots divided from each other by
one OF the many ordinary road
ways. This circumstance caused a
clash and confusion Of the two
sets OF carriages, though each was
slight in number, and the assemblage that
grouped about either grave was small In
one of these assem- blages the chief mourn
err was woman. She stood close to the
brink of the grave while the coffin was be-
ing lowered, and remained thus, with
demeanor placid and fearless, until the
sods Were laid upon the mound and the
floral emblems were finally placed there.

FOR POULTRY KEEPERS,
Virginia Mans Plan for Keeping the
Hen House Free From vsrmin

A Virginia Mans Plan for Keeping the
Hen House Free From yermin.
From the American Agrlculturalist.
Some years since, when removing to
new place where there was scarcity of
outbuildings, our poultry was put into a
cellar to roost. The house was an unused
kitchen and the basement walls were of
brick. The interior was dry and with
temperature quite uniform the year
round, being warm in winter and cool
in summer. Altogether the basement
proved very good place for poultry, aud
after few months l concluded to fix
it up permanently. On removing the
former rooste and nests to provide bet
ter opes, | Was surprised to find that
there was no vermin upon any of the
timbers nor anywhere within the cellar.
The poultry must have had vermin when
they were first put into the basement,
for the old houee from which they were
taken showed 1t plainly enough. | now
put the basement in thorough order, ev-
erything tidy, with new nests and roosts.
From that time on l watched the eel
lar closely for vermin, but none were
ever observed there. | kept poultry in
that basement for about six years, time
long enough certainly to test thoroughly
the matter, end from beginning to end
no vermin were ever seen therein. am
sure Of this fact, for the discovery was
so remarkable that made repeated ex.
aminations to see II any vermin could be
found, and to discover, II l .uld, the
