The court decides that if the Gou1ds

In conclusion Judge Lawrence decides

James Butler, Maddened by Wife's Admission
Of Falseness. Murderously Assaults Her.

Providence r. l., Nov. 19.-James
Butler, negro. 2 years, murdcrously as
saultcd his Sugars old wife, Mabel, at
their home in the old Gorhain homestead,
Sockannossct Hill, mile from knights
vile, about $50, Sunday afternoon. But
Ter is under arrest and his wife lies at the
Rhode Island hospital in critical condi-
ton.
The couple was married about year
ago, but for the past few months the
woman has been intimate with other men,
and has openly tainted her husband. Sat
IIrlay night, Butler saw her on the street
with another man, and, Sunday afternoon,
after drinking hard, he tried to murder
her
He first attempted TO choke her in their
house a wrctchcd howell She resisted and
broke away and he tried to cut her throat
with razor. She and her mother took
this from him and then he seized lighted
lamp and threw it at her, the oil saturat-
ing her dress and setting it on fire. She
jumped through window and ran to the
only house in the ncighborhood, Robert
Davis, colored, who put out the fire
Her husband ran for doctor, who
recommended her removal to the hospital
in this city, where she was taken early
this morning. Her burns are regarded as
probably fatal. Butler was arraigned
this morning, and held in $4,000 bonds.

When this was DONE the teacher took
her book and spelled the words aloud, the
pupils correcting mistakes on the states as
she read.
She had not spelled more than half a
dozen words when she discovered a small
boy about the center of the class crying
most piteously.
OF course the lesson was stopped for the
moment until she could learn the cause OF
the trouble, but to all her questions came
only fresh sosi in reply.
Again and again in most affectionate
terms the weeping boy was begged to ex-
plain his distress, hut without avail.

written; but, alas! from a friendly looking
satc-a slate mind you, the very last
thing from which one would expect such
thing-hnd come the random shot that
had caused such havoc.

looked friendly. Its owner had yellow

at the head of the tomb of the dead Gar $
father, Alexander H., and the small one
at the foot of his coffin, will now be eX-
tinguished These candles, which by re-
placing when necessary, have been burn
ing constantly since the burial of Alexan-
der H., will now be transferred to the
tomb of Alexander Ill, there to remain
relighted until the next Gar is lowered
into the vault, when a similar change
will be made A guard of Sachestans in
semi military attire but unarmed, are al
ways on duty at the tomb and keep the
candles trimmed and lighted. They are
under strict injunction never to allow one
OF them to go out.
The imperial family ard royal guests
all returned to the winter palace after the
funeral. The imperial signia which
formed a conspicuous part of the public
professions here and in Moscow and which
We're also placed in prominent positions in
the cathedral, Were conveyed back to
the winter palace after the funeral, under
a strong military escort.
The tomb of the Gar will be Immediately
covered with white marble block, four
feet high and oblong in shape. Until this
work is completed the tomb will be
guarded night and day by a detachment
of the imperial guards.
As the coffin was lowered into the vault,
the Czarna, who had throughout the ser
vice been under Il terrible nervous strain,
fell to her knees and wept. She was sup
ported by her son, the Gar Nicholas, and
led away sobbing convulsvely.

ClNCINNATrS INJURIES.
Probably Struck Submerged Vessel and Not a
Rock as First Thought.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Acting 'Secre-
tary of the Navy McAdoo, this morning,
received full report from Capt. Henry
Glass of the accident to the Cincinnati,
as well as the preliminary Geographic
statement of the New York navy yard, as
to the amount and character of damage
to the ship, as shown by inspecting her in
the dry dock
From these reports it appears that the
Cincinnati probably struck some sunken
vessel and nota rock as was, first sup
posed. The commandment estimates that
t will take mt least six weeks to repair the
vessel. as Il number of plates are bent and
the frames under the boiler are badly dis
tJrted.
Experts declare that if the vessel struck
a rock the vessel would have gone down.
That the obstruction was movable one
is shown by the fact that the hull astern,
where the ships draught is greatest, is
uniniurcd, indicating that the obstruction
was forced aside after causing the damage.
About a foot was knocked off one pro-
reilcr blade.
Admiral Meade and Captains Farquhar
and Casey have been ordered to meet,
Wednesday, at the New York navy yard,
ut court of inquiry for he purpose of as

obstruction in Long Island sound off

tailed as judge advocate OF the court.
