Worcester, Mass, Jan. 11.-Francis D..
Newton, prosperous farmer of Brook
field: his wife, Sarah, and their 10
year-old adopted daughter, Ethel, were
found murdered in their beds yester-

neighbors, whose curiosity was aroused
by the lowing of the unfed cattle. The

A hired man who has been employed
by Newton is missing, and the au-
thorities are making search for him.
He was known only by the name Of
Paul. He was last seen Friday night,
just before midnight, by a neighbor
who was returning from grange meet
ing. From this 1t is believed that the
murders We're committed between 10
and II o'clock Friday night. Newton
was 40 years of age and his wife was
three years younger.
The motive for the crime is not
known. Robbery has been referred to
as a probable cause, but that, it is
drought, does not account for the
slaughter of the whole family. More
over Mr.. Newtons gold watch was
found in his vest, which hung over a
chair back in his chamber.

MRS. M'cusKER,s TRIAL.


The Witness Breaks Down while Tes.
tifyfng In Her Own Defsnse,
Camden. N. j., Jan. n.-For the first
time in the history of Camden county
a woman was placed on trial for her
life yesterday. She is Mrs. Florence
McCusker, who is charged with having
shot her husband, Michael McCusker,
on the night of Nov. last. The follow
ing day the husband died. In his ante
norton statement he said his wife had
deliberately shot him in the stomach.
The prosecution introduced witnesses
who testified to quarrels between Mrs.
McCusker and her husband, one wit
ness declaring that she had heard the
prisoner threaten to shoot him.
The defense opened by placing Mrs.
McCusker on the stand. She told
how her husband was upstairs read
in a paper. when she playfully knocked
1t from his hand. and sitting on his lap
threw her arms around his neck and
ehided him for not coming downstairs.
SO as she could have him near her
while she was sewing. The husband
pushed her from him, at the Same time
calling her vile name. He soon after
left the house. and before going threw
a diamond ring she had given him
across the bed to her.
Witness then said she began to ar
range the bed, when she found re-
volver belonging to him under the pill
low. She was about to put it in a
bureau door. when she heard violent
knocking at the door. Going to the
window she saw 1t was her husband.
He seemed angry, and the witness,
much excited, ran downstairs, still
holding the revolver in her hand. The
husband meanwhile had broken in the
door, and pushing her away and going
towards china closet said, 'Ill show
you a quick way to break up house,
keeping"
Witness begged him not to destroy
the china, and caught hold of him. He
struggled with her. and the pistol was
discharged, and he fell to the floor.
She knelt beside him, and he threw
both arms around her and kissed her
repeatedly. Here the witness broke
down, and Judge Garrison motioned
her counsel to lead her away.
Court then adjourned

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Dan A. Stuart ar
rived here last night from St. Paul,
where he went on a fruitless endeavor
TO induce Fitzsimmons to enter the
ring again with Corbett. Said Stuart:
Il made every inducement / could
make, but It was all of no use. Fitz-
simmons and Julian stood pat on the
issue that Corbett must first defeat
Peter Maher. I shall now offer a purse
for Corbett and Maher, but I shall not
hound Corbett into the match"

Legislature COnyenes,

Dover, DEL, Jan. 1.-The Legislature
convened here this morning and inmedi-
ately went to the lower house into caucus
for d reading clerk and chaplain. There
was no caucus last night because OF the
absence of many members.
Rev. H. G. f. Vincent, the former chap
lain of the House, who's now Il resident of
New Jersey, arrived here last night. 1t Is
expected by some that he will try to act as
chaplain Of the House, claiming that he is
still entitled TO that position. The mem
bers of tho House claim that Mr. Vincent
forfeited his place when he removed from
the State, and it Is not likely that he will
be allowed to act in the position.
The Legislatures session is the second
term of last winters Legislature, the os =
tensible purpose of an adjourned term be.
ing an adjustment of the State laws to
conform to the new Constitution, which
was adopted last winter.
The old building has been materially
improved. The two rooms formerly used
by the Senate and House have been con-
verted into one room and will be used as
Representative Hail, whi,u thu Senate
will occupy the cast wing OF the
State House, which was used last win
ter by the Constitutional Convention.

The corridor is also rOomy and is in keep

A Sermon That Was Never Preached.

Mr.. S H. Baynard, tells very amusing
story of how sermon was printed several
years ago in the Morning News, that was
to have been deliverdd by a prominent
divine at Brandywine Springs Camp meet
ing Mr.. Baynnrd was the correspondent
on the particular occasion for the morning
paper and be had to get his copy into the
newspaper office before 10 clock in the
evening. In the afternoon Mr.. B. thought
he would interview the Reverend gentle
man and get u synopsis of his sermon to
be delivered in the evening He hunted
all over the camp grounds and at last
found the object of the search back of the
preachers tent engaged in the past time of
backing his boots.
He preached the subject to the Divine
and requested the text OF his discourse and
a few notes on it. After getting his notes
he proceeded to write them out and sent
them in to the paper for publication about
g o'clock. In the evening severe thunder
shower came up and the setmon WIS not
delivered, it being too damp, and the rain
still descended in torrents. The paper
came out the following morning with the
report of the sermon that was never de-
livertd, but the reading was enjoyed just
rs much as if it had been delivered by the
eminent Divine.
Mr.. b. in telling the incident to another
well-known Methodist Divine and the
writer of this article, laughed heartily over
the fact of his enterprise in wiring up the
sermon and the paper in publishing 1t,
who could not soc the effects of u thunder
shower on the camp ground?
