Work Woman Hard to Kill

PHILADELPHIA, May Is, 1S95.-Kli
Williams, colored this morning while
supposedly insane, started a fire in the
cellar of his residence, No. 129 North
Juniper street, and then hit his wife
Mary. who was asleep in bed,in the head
with an axe. AS finale to the tragedy
the negro committed suicide by blowing
out his brains with an old musket. AL
though the woman'S skull was crushed
in, she ran to the street in her night
clothes and gave the alarm, and the ire
was soon eXtinguished
Williams had been i'll for some time
and had been acting strangely of late.
At four o'clock this morning he arose
and piling up a lot of crates and bas-
kets in the cellar of the small frame
dwelling, he set them on fire. When the
flames had gained little headway, and
it was evident that they would consume
the house and also hide all traces of the
prospective murder and suicide, Williams
set in to finish the work.
He was successful as far as his own
life was concerned, but the wife rallied
despite the fearful blow from the butt
end of an axe, and saved the house
from destruction. The woman was TAX
en- to the Hannemann Hospital, where it
was found that she had compound
fracture of the skull. The physicians
have no hope for her recovery. Will
Jams was forty-five years old, and his
wife is of the same age. They had been
married for twenty years. but had no
children
