HIS HOME LIFE WAS HAPPY.
Nothing Occurred to Make Trouble
Until the PaveY Disclosures.

There is every reason to believe that the
home life of Hamilton was very happy
one, uo to the time he discovered her
criminal relations with Pavey. They were
married two years ago Thanksgiving eve
and at the expiration of year he told
his friends that he had never had word
with his wife: that everything was har-
monious and happy. This he repeated
some time ago. then he learned of his
wifes infidelity.

$4,000.
Mrs. Krolage. a fortune teller. on
West Ninth street, had a call from
three men who ostensibly wanted her
professional services. While she was
reading the future for one of the men,
another struck her on the back of the
head with a revolver. They then bound
and gagged her and removed diamond
rings and other jewelry of the value
named. An old woman, a relative, hear
ing the struggle came into the room
and she was beaten on the head and
rendered unconscious. Mrs Krolage

THE FIFTH SHOT.

Shot No. ; corresponded exactly with
he bullet hole in the coat worn by J.
II. Hamilton on the night of his death,
and proves conelusively that the pistol
with which the fatal shot was fired
was pressed firmly against his body,
which clearly establishes that either
h held the pistol in his own hand or
that the person who did hold it was in
The yard with him at the time the
shot was fired.
The suicide theory is disproved by
he fact that Hamilton could not have
held the pistol in his right hand and
shot himself through the heart in the
direction which the ball entered his
body. That he held it in his left hand
IS unlikely. because he was right
handed; and. again. man would
scarcely fire six shots at his own body

after receiving a bullet in the heart.

DISEASES AMONG THE NEGROks

Not long & The Messenger called
to the reports OF southern
superintendent of negro hospitals and
asylums relative to the increase of con-
sumption and insanity among the coll
ored race. This increase is attracting
the attention of physicians in the north.
and even in England it is being consid-
cred. The great london Lancet has
one or more articles on the subject. A
correspondent writes concerning the
condition Of the negroes in slavery and
now. He says, and it is precisely in ac-
cord with the opinions Of the managers
of hospitals in the south previously
given by The Messenger, that when
slaves there was very little tuberculo-
sis or insanity in America among the
negroes of the southern states After
emancipation they appeared to quickly
lose this immunity, and at the present
time are exceedingly susceptible to
both. Formerly, although in a state
of slavery. they are said to have been
we'll cared for, compelled to lead order
ly. regular lives, and kept from dissi-
patton and excess. Freedom removed
these restraints. and they quickly
plunged into riotous and vicious habits.
The Philadelphia Scientific American
has also copied wha has been said.
One writer avs
They have developed a highly in
sane, consumptive, syphilitic, and alco-
holic constitution which predisposes
them to diseases they were formerly
free from. In this disturbed and unsta-
bic condition they seem to be totally
unable to resist the slightest excite
ment. Recent returns show that the
death rate of the colored people from
tuberculosis is three times that of the
whites"
The preachers and doctors among the
cOlOred people have here a proper field
Of investigation. The health of their
race for the present and future genera
tons is seriously involved. No man
with proper sensibilities of any race
will contemplate such facts without
profound regret. 81
Since preparing his we find the
deaths CT the two races in Augusta, Ga.
The population is divided-2S, 900 whites,
Is, 1000 blacks. There were 80 deaths
among the whites from consumption
in 1896, and Ga deaths among the ne
groes from the same disease. DR.. III
gene Foster, president of the board of
health, in giving these figures, says
that before emancipation The cOlOred
race was almost wholly free from con-
a negro with consumption
