AN AGED WOMAN SLAIN,
Brutal Murder of Mrs. Mary
Mullen at Parkersburg,
w. Va.
A Servant-Girl Placed Under Arrest
on a Charge of Committing
the Crime.

PARKERSBURG, w. VA, July 2o.-To-
night about 0:30 O'clock occurred one OF
the most atrocious murders that has ever
happened in this city. Mrs. Mary Mullen,
aged IA, mother of Edward, Patrick and
Michael Mullen, well-known tobacconists
was attacked in her bedroom by some
person unknown and killed by piece o.
stout two-inch hemlock stick. She wa:
found at 20 minutes of II o'clock by hel
son, Patrick Mullen.
She lived for two hours, unconscious tc
the last. She had $50 in money on hel
person which was not taken.
A girl named Sarah Brown, better known
as Sallie Swami, was arrested. She had
lived until Monday night with the Null
lens, and left because Mrs. Mullen was
hard to get along with.
1t Is not probable that she is the Grim
inal, as she claims she was asleep with
another girl at DR.. Sharp's residence, and
is cool and denies the crime, and accounts
for her whereabouts in the evening.
An unknown man was seen to enter
Mullen's yard. There is no motive for the
crime, as far as is known. There was great
excitement, owing to the large acquaint-
ance of the Mullen brothers and the cold
blooded character of the crime. The vic
tim was Union soldiers widow and drew
q pension.

The first carload OF California pears,
which left Sacramento on July 2, arrived
in London ON Thursday in excellent con-
dition. The English pear crop will be al
most failure this year, and the market
for California fruit will be most profitable.
The tyranny OF the private water COM
panles which supply London Is almost be-
yond belief. The company supplying the
East End which cut off the water several
weeks last winter on account OF the frost
in the pipes, buried only foot below the
surface, now has shut oil the supply ex-
cept for two or three hours daily on ac-
count of the drought. The real cause is
the short-sighted failure to make provision
for the increasing demand. The reports OF
the suffering caused by the deprivation are
supplemented to-day by the news that an
epidemic of fever has made its appearance
in the district, and most serious conse-
quences are threatened.
These water supply monopolies are in
proportion to the capital invested the rich
est corporations in the world. The law
enables them to collect full rates from pa
irons whether the water is supplied or net,
and they never make the slightest conees-
sion. Popular evaporation over this
situation in London has been at high pres
sure for months. Strangely enough, the
radical politicians who have been In con-
troll of city and National politics for the
last three years have been so busy looking
after the morals of the people that they
have had no time to give in rghting this
evil.
The opposition to the construction of
railway to the summit OF the Jungfrau has
failed. Nearly the entire capital of 9,000,-
600 francs has been subscribed, and the
plans are finished for the first section of
the road. Work will begin next month.
Hypnotism was the ground of the con-
test of the will of widow named GUM
drant in Lyons this week. She had left
her entire property to couple who, the
relatives said, secured the execution of
the will by putting the woman into hyp-
motto trance. The Judges, after evident
hesitation, decided against recognizing
this form of crime. They said that while
some investigators declared that anybody
might be hypnotized, others asserted that
only epileptic or neuroTlc persons could be
so treated. STILL others had denied that
the so-called hypnotic phenomena existed.
Under these circumstances the Judges pre-

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 21.-A morn.
Ing paper says that the friends of Mrs
Kate Chase Sprague, daughter of the late
Chief Justice Chase, have come to her
rescue and subscribed $4,000 to help tide
over her financial difficulties. It is under
stood that among those who subscribed
are Senator Brice, John Wanamaker and
q. 8. Sorg, who contributed 5000 each.
The other contributors are prominent
Republicans in this city, Washington,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and Providence, with
the exception of William G. Whitney,
whose contribution is said to be the larg-
est OF all. Mrs. Sprague is still at the
Hotel Jefferson, in Union square, with her
daughters, but she refused to talk about
the matter. 1t is believed she will now stop
the advertised auction sale OF the furniture
OF her old home, Edgewood, in the suburbs
OF Washington, and that she will be able
to pay OF many mortgages on the place
and make it her home again.

what have just read. There is the testi-
mony of man who was present and
among the men who were deceived-Mr.
Allison, at present Senator from Iowa.

without the least taint of suspicion of its
integrity? Long applause] and that the
records would demonstrate that you were
right?
"What did you do with Senator Allison :?
He says the bill was doctored. Have not l
proved to you that it was doctored by the
records of the Senate. He says that it was
the intention of Congress to put our coin
age system on the French ratio. Is not
that what said :? And is not that what
the bill would have done if it
had passed, as I claim, with the silver
dollar in their Senate? Sherman himself
said, when pulled out of his hole, was on
the French relation. 1 want you when
you rise here again to address yourself to
the language of Senator Allison. Laughter

During the month of August in va
cation, Judge A. M Aiken ordered a
decree to be entered in the clerks Of
flee of the Corporation Court for the
city of Danville divorcing Rufus Hin
ton from Mary + Hinton, decreeing
that the bands of matrimony between
them be absolutely and forever dis
solved The suit was instituted by
Mr. Hinton in the month of January
1895, through his counsel, Robertson
and KiIgore Mary +. Hinton vigo-
rously defended the suit through an
able counsel. This was not at all I'M
usual, since Mr.. Hinton had learned
the lesson of frugality and as a result
of which he is owner of two OF three
houses and lots, the interest in which
his 9wife was not anxious to lose.
Mr.. Hinton takes his victory calmly
and doubtless is beginning to cross-eye
already.
