It Won't Go With the Jury.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Oct. 10
John Sebastian shot and killed his
wife yesterday. They were mar
rled thirteen years ago at Winona,
Mimi, and lived together until a
year ago. Sebastian went to the
Jail and gave himself up. He
claims he went to the house to get
some property that belonged to
him, that his wife gave him some
back talk and that he raised the
rifle as a bluff, not intending to
shoot, but the gun accidentally
went off.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is on
y one way to cure deafness, and that is ty
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous linin q
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by oatarrah, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

RIG FIRE AT ST. ALBANS.
Greater Portion of the Business Section
of the City Is Reduced to Ashes-fNe
Hundred Homeless.

St. Albans, VT, May 19.-The most
disastrous confiagration which has ever
visited Vermont, this afternoon laid
waste a great portion of the business
section of this town. The fire started
at O'Clock in the lumber yard of w. ).
Fonda. and a high south wind caused
the flames to enter the every heart OF
the town. In Ave minutes the fire was
raging in dozen different places, and
the fire companies were powerless. The
loss is estimated at three-quarters of
million dollars. Fully 500 people are to-
night without shelter. Forty business
places were destroyed, together with at
least 100 tenements, to say nothing or
other places.
At about $50 o'clock help arrived from
Burlington and Swanton. By this time,
however, the fire was under control,
although it extended its lines here and
there. The flames jumped from the
lumber yard to the center of the town
in an instant, passing over territory
fully 500 yards in extent, without doing
any damage. From the center of the
town the confiagration passed north
ward, destroying in Its progress the
new government building, the extensive
plant of the st. Adams Daily Mes
senger and job print, and streets OF
business houses and tenements. The
flames are now under control, but are
being steadily watched to prevent Sec
ond outreak.

BRIGGS MEN betrayed
Secret Circulars Fall Into the Hands
OF Conservatives.
CIRCULARS ARE DISTRIBUTED
Anti.Briggs Delegates Seek to Make
Capital from the Secret Instructions
in Favor of DR.. Page Briggs
Men to BE Dropped.

Pittsburg, May 19.-Quietly circulated
among the leaders OF the general as
sembly here today were several copies
Of Il typewriter circular containing
the secret instructions which were sent
out from New York to commissioners
elect In anticipation of the meeting Of
this assembly. These circulars bear the
marks of the Presbyterian league, an
institution founded upon the lines Of the
old peace and work combine three years
ago which tried to save DR.. Briggs
from his prosecutors when the famous
heresy trial was on in New York. The
league was organized 20 undo the work
OF the Portland and Washington as
semblies, whose deliverance upon the
truthfulness Of the Bible created such
a panic among the liberals, and to Sc
cure reversal Of the assembly finding
In the case of Union and Lane sem
lnaries. Some copies Of these circulars
fell into worthy hands and they are
now in the possession of the conserva-
tive leaders
The circular bears date of Nav II
and contains full instructions as to
the management of the general assem-
bly, in the matter of its organization. 1t
urges the election as moderator of n
western man, and DIR. William N. Page,
OF Kansas Is proposed as an eligible
candidate calculated TO inspire conf
dence in the peace loving commissions
ers. Tho circuler contains information
as to Dr. Booths antipathy, and
warns the western delegates of the
dangers that would result If he were
chosen. 1t described Dr. Booth as die
tatorial and severe, and urges all peace
loving, fair-minded commissioners to
come forward to the support of Page
and defeat Dr. Booth.
Presbyterian League Accused.
These circulars are being diligently
employed by the leading conservatives
to strengthen their cause in the as
sembly. They say that it is the pro-
motors of the Presbyterian league who
have ruined the missionary boards of
the church. The leaders of the league
are the controlling directors of the
home and foreign boards and it is be-
cause of the church's distrust of these
mer that the contributions to the
boards have fallen off 50 heavily.
John Crosby Browns term as di-
rector of the home board expires this
year and he has been recommended by
the secretaries for reelection. Thomas
Hastings, president of Union seminary,
Is also in the secretaries list for re-
election. Ezra Kingsley and DR.. John
Balcomshaw, directors in Union SEM
mary, are reported by the secretaries
Of the foreign missions good for re-
election. These men are all pronounced
Briggs men. Their names will, it is
said, be quietly dropped in the COM
mittee room. The circular is being
used to accomplish this result.
DR.. Charles Thompson is also on the
outgoing list of home missionary di-
rectOrs, but his name will not be
scratched this year. Although his
Briggsism is of the most pronounced
type the line, is to be drawn at Union
seminary and he has no connection
with that institution.

STORY OF AWFUL MURDER.
Young Girls Body Horribly Mutilatcd by
NcSrocs-Thc Ficnds Arc Tortured by
Maddcrci Whites.

Ellaville Fla, May 19-tMiss Mamie
Armstrong, the daughter of a promi-
nent farmer left her home six days
ago to spend the night with a neighbor,
who lived about two miles distant. The
next day Miss Armstrong; father went
to the house of the neighbor to bring
his daughter home, and was surprised
and alarmed to hear that nothing had
been seen of her.
Mr.. Armstrong alarmed the neigh
bors and searched for the missing girl.
The searchers found the corpse of
Miss Armstrong in a clump of bushes,
in the woods. The body of the girl was
in a horrible condition. Every shred
of clothing had been torn off, and she
had been assaulted.
Her head was crushed and her throat
cut. 1t was evident that girl had made
desperate fight for under her nails
were found pieces of black cuticle
which she had torn from her assail-
ants.
After caring for the mangled corpse,
the enraged whites began a search for
the perpetrators of the deed.
As they approached the home of Sam
l.t nolS, the negro ran out anu stdh' 'eu
for the woods, but was stopped with
bullet, which wounded him slightly.
The negro was examined and his face
found to be scratched. Threatened
with instant death, he confessed that
h with Sim Crowley and John Brooks,
had murdered her. Echols said that
they kept the girl twenty-four hours
before killing her. Most of the time
Miss Armstrong was unconscious.
Having secured the negroes implicat-
ed by Echols, the white men took them
to a dense swamp on the Suwanee
river, where they were tortured. just
what manner of death was metea out
to the negroes is not positively known,
but it is reported that they were fiayed
alive and then burned.
The scene of the crime and triple
lynching is near large phosphate
mines, in which are employed many
negroes of the worst class. Assaults
on white women have been frequent,
and within six months twelve negroes
have been lynched in that vicinity.

General Mccormick. He has given the
commissioners to make the survey for
the proposed county an opinion which
effectually bars It's prompters from ac-
compllshing their purpose. The deci-
sion will have an important bearing on
future movements for the erection of
new counties. The attorney general de-
cides that the words county seat in
the act of 1878, where 1t says mo part
of a new county shall be within ten
miles of the county seat" means the
county town" and not the buildings In
which the business OF the county is
done. Under this decision the area or
Grow county Is reduced to less than 400
miles as required by the constitution.
In locating the proposed county the
description required the commissioners
appointed by Governor Hastings to
run % circular line of about thirty miles
hong as a limit to the county. In exc
cutting their work they took the count
house at Wilkes-Barre as the center OF
the circular line, instead of taking the
limits of that city as common center
to the line The question appeared to
be one requiring a legal Interpretation,
and before filing their report the COM
II issioners submitted the question to
Attorney general Mccormick, who holds
that the term county seat in the con-
stitutlon and the act of 1878 means the
county town" and not the actual busi-
ness place of conducting the official
affairs of the county.
on the plan adopted by the commits
sioners they found territory enough for
the proposed county to meet the re-
uuirements of the constitution. Being
required, however. to modify their re-
port in conformity with the opinion
of the attorney general there Will not
be enough territory in the proposed
county to amount to 400 square miles.
1t was intended to create Grow county
out of portion of LuZerne county ana
make Shickshinny the county seat. the
movement was started to offset that for
Quay county, which is proposed to he
created out of portions of Schuylkill
and LuZerne counties.
The boomers of Quay county VIII ca!l
up the bill in the house next Wednes-
day and endeavor to pass 1t finally.
There will doubtless be full house, as
the members who have been absenting
themselves for some time and are In
contempt will try and purge them
selves before the house and their con-
stituents by giving more attention
hereafter to their duties. The Monon-
cahela county bill is still in the senate
committee ON new counties and county
seats.
