New York, February 6.-Patrick

PUNSIUN TO HANG.
Railroad Fireman Convicted OF
UXOrcide.
Shot His Wlte in Hack, January D.
1895.


1895.
St. Joseph, No, Feb. 5.-Thomas
Punsion, the condemned wife mur-
derer, whose sentence Of death was
confirmed yestesday by the supreme
court. takes his fate with more con-
Germ now than at any time since his
arrest more than two years ago.
There seemed to be little doubt uf
Punsions guilt from the first, al
though be was convicted on circum-
stantial evidence.
At the first trial he was sentenced
to twenty years in prison. An ap.
peal on technical grounds resulted
in the supreme court granting a new
trial The jury at the first trial
were decidedly lenient, in the face of
all the evidence, but the prisoners
lawyers thought they saw a good
opportunity eff adding laurels to
their regulations as criminal attor.
neys, and persuaded Punsion to try
an appeal. The result is Punsion
will be hanged On March 13.
The condemned man was fireman
on the Santa Fe railway and had
succeeded, according to witnesses in
making the life of his young wife
about as miserable as possible, when
she picked up few personal effects
and returned to tho home OF her
mother. Punsion in vain tried to
get her to return to him He plead
ed, threatened and cajoled, all to no
purpose. Finally on the night of
January 5, 1894, he drove to the
home of his mother in law in hack
and demanded to see his wife. He
was refused admittance, and, draw
ing a revolver, entered the home and
grabbing his wife up in his arms,
returned to the conveyance. The
poor woman struggled to save her
life and appealed to her younger
brother to come to her rescue. He
attempted to interfere when Pun
sion, with a blood curdling oath,
threw big revolver on a murderous
line with the boys head and the
latter was compiled to re enter the
house and that was the last seen of
Mrs. Pnnsion alive Ky her mother,
brother and sisters.
The hack had not driven far when
pistol shot rang out and the driver
stopped He opened the door and
Mrs. Punsion lay dying with bullet
through her brain. A revolver that
had done the deadly work was found
lying in the bottom OF the hack.
Punsion always maintained that his
wife shot herself with his revolver
which she had taken from his pocket.
However his conduct before the
shot convicted him of the murder
A letter was produced in court
alleged to have been written by
Mrs. Punsion in which she said she
intended to commit suicide and that
her husband would also take his
own life.

The mere fact that Col. Van Horn

small consequence. True, some
people imagine that the man who is
elected to an Office ought to hold it.
but from a republican standpoint of
view this is a mistake. Col. Van
Horn is no novice in the art OF re.

Nellie the kisser.

Nashua, N. H., February 5.-Mrs.
Helen Flanders, who is now confined
in New York hospital charged
with being insane, is known at her
former home in Concord, n. H., as
"Nellie, the kisser," a soubriquet
which she earned by her peculiar
antics several months ago.
At that time sensation was
caused by the report that a woman
was holding up the middle aged
gentlemen who resided in the fash
ionable part of the city, when they
were returning to their homes. The
woman would conceal herself in dark
doorways and suddenly rush upon
her victim, elasping him in a fervent
embrace. Before he could recover
from his surprise his face would be
covered with burning kisses and the
woman had disappeared.

from a letter received from Hon Mann

j W Denmark Egg Business Mana
ger Of the PrOgressaUe Farmer,
DEAR SIR AND ERO:-Please accept
my very warm thanks for your letter
IF congratulaGion and your promise to
continue to support and uphold the
principles of the National Farmers Al
lance. Would that all who are en-
gagged in the pursuit. of agriculture as
we'll as those who reap the benefits
thereof, could be induced to see and
feel the necessity of sustaining this
most important organization whose
aim and object is the education of the
masses in the science of political econ
omy.
Could we induce the merchants, me
chanics, planters, farmers and produc
ing classes to consider well the de.
mands, aims and obj CTS of this greal
industrial organization, Ifeel coLf1ent
that cur sub alliances would increase
rapidly, and our State organization
would command the talents of our abb
est men, and would bring such an in
duence to bear upon our professional
law makers that they would not dar,

of the people in u National Congress
and State Legislatures as attorneys for
corporations, trusts and combines, for
the people would then look more care
fully into their qualifications, and party
platforms would have no double mean
ing. Then truth, justice and honesty
would be the cardi, al points to guide
the statesmen of our country.
There is another department, the bu
siness department of u National and
State organizations which should be
organized and conducted on true bust
ness principles not to antagon'z9 those
engaged in manufacturing and mercan-
tile pursuits, but conducted so as to
command their hearty cooperation.
To accomplish this shall be my aim
and object during my official term as
President Of the National Farmers AL
lance and Industrial Union, and l ap
peal to ell rue Alliancemen to aid in
this patriotic work.
In conclusion leE me say that, appre
ciatiDg your offer of THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER for such official communica-
lions as I may wish to write, l shall
gladly avail myself Of the same.
Fraternally,
