OUR DEVILS CORNER.
A TRAGEDY.

A colored man down at Mobile
Attempted some chickens to stile,
When lively steel trap
Closed its jaws with a snap,
And he found himself caught by the
lille.
Then the colored man at Mobile
Felt an anguish he could not concile,
And his cries of despair,
Filled the Silly night air
Till the whole blessed atoWn heard
him squile.

talking about orators and oratory, when
up spoke Col. Samuel Dalton, of Louis

most pointed, cogent and convincing,
emanated from an old friend of mine.
now Hon. Steve Sharp, of Fayette coun-
ty, KY, my former home. twas right
after the war, and Steve was running
on the democratic ticket for county
jailer. lie had served already several
terms as deputy. The prospects OF
democratic success seemed hopeless, as
for the first time the negroes were going
to vote, and, of course. they could be re-
lied on then to vote solidly for the re-
publican nominees.
There was TO be grand barbecue
and republican rally at a precinct
where the colored people were thick.
Steve was Merry enough to attend the
meeting. There were about 1000 dark
les present and not over dozen whites,
all OF whom save Mr.. Sharp were radi-
calls of the deepest dye. He asked per-
mission TO address the audience and was
at first refused, but finally the chairman
of the meeting concluded that Steve
could do no harm, so he introduced him
TO the audience in n way calculated To
cover him with ridicule, and winding up
with the consoling statement that moth
ing Steve could say would have any ef-
feet on the colored brethren present,
In the coolest way possible Che had
never made public speech before)
Steve mounted the platform. and max
ing profound bow he said:
"'M[y colored friends-You all know
that have served for four years as dep
uty jailer of this county. In my Official
capacity / have had the pleasure OF
meeting you ALL l am here 10 solicit
your votes for jailer, and all ! can say is
that IL by your aid | nm elected TO the
office promise you the same treatment

of cheers, and he knew by the vocifer-
BUSINESS thereof that he had scored n
hit He had. That precinct gave him
big majority, and he was the only dem
ocra- elected that year in Fnyette

He lay silent for awhile, making no
answer, but from the workings OF his
hands and face we could see that he
suffered much.

She searched and found pebble,
which he sucked, but after time II fell
from his lips, and we saw that II was as
dry as when IL entered them. Then his
brain gave way, and he began 10 rave
huslxily In many languages.
"Are you devil7" he asked, "that you
suffer me TO die in torment for the want
there and mock me? Oh, have pity and
give me water"
For awhile we bore IL, though per-
haps our agonies were greater than his
own-then Maya rose and looked at his
face. Ii was sunlxen as though with u
heavy illness, thick black rings had APP
peared beneath his blue eyes, and his
lips were heclsed with blood.

In a dry voice. Watch your friend,

She looked at me reproachfully, but

she was running across the desert like
deer. At the entrance TO the cueva
she paused to gatherup the aloe torches
which had been thrown down there,

familiar face of night--the night that

James Dunhams Probably Insane. Muir
ders Six Persons.
San Jose. Cal. May 2s.-Col. II. p. Me.
Glincy and his family. embrac ny six
persons. were murdered Tuesday night
by his onin-law. James Durham.
Among the victims OF the fiend was
Dunkam's wife. a daughter OF Col. Me-
Glincy. The crime was committed at
Campbell. eight miles southwest of this
city. Wife, father-in-Iaw. mother-in-
law, brother-in-lawsa and two domestics
paid the bloody debt OF the iiend's rage.
Not being In the path of the butcher
escaped the carnage except the murder
er's own child, babe one month old.
The infant was either overlooked by
the inhuman monster or he became sa-
tiatcd and disappeared without seeking
TO send the infant to join it's mother.
Following are the victims: Col. II. T..
McGlincy. ex-commissioner to the
Worlds Columbian exposition at Chi
cago; Mrs. Il. Il. McGlincy. Mrs. James
Durham, wife OF the uxoricide and
daughter of Col. McGlincy; James
Wells. son of Mrs. McGlincy; Minnie
Schesler, domestic; James Briscoe, hired
man. 1t was about midnight that tho
tragedy was enacted. The report of
pistol shots rang out in the still night
and awakened neighbor, Mr.. Page.
These shots were followed by the pat
ter OF horses hoofs upon the country
road. Neighbor Page hastily arose,
dressed and ran to the McGlincy home.
lie found the body of Col. McGlincy
lying in an clubhouse in pool Of blood.
Entering the house he found the bodies
of James Wells. who had been shot;
Mrs. McGlincy and her daughter. who
had been stabbed. and the hired man
and girl. who had been hacked to death
with Ratchet. The only being in the
house who escaped alive was a baby
nine months old, the child of Mrs. Dun
ham and the murderer.
No explanation of the tragedy other
than the theory OF Dunham's insanity
seems TO have occurred to anyone as
yet. His horrible deed, in spite ofwhat
has been said about insane impulse,
appears 70 have been premeditated. as
he destroyed all his photographs and
took large portrait from the wall away
with him. Durham has been going TO
Santa Clara college. taking special
course in Greek and Latin. He tried TO
learn in six weeks what usually re-
CURED year or two. and this probably
affected his mind. Officers are securing
the country for Durham, and il is ex.
pected he will be caught before many
hours elapse.

for intervention in Turkey by Great Bril-
tain, Lord Rosebery, tho liberal EXPIRE

Interfere with Turkey without consent of
