MURDERED AND ROBBED.
Mysterious Slaughter of a Young
Woman in a Hotel.

New York, Aug. 16.-Emiline c. Rey-
nolds, young unmarried woman,
about 81 years of age, was found mur-
dered in the Grand hotel at Thirty
first street and Broadway, in this city,
today. Her death had evidently re-
suited from repeated blows on the head
with piece of lead pipe. The crime
had been committed some time be-
tween midnight and o'clock this
morning, but the police have not, as
yet, been able to definitely determine
whether the motive was one of rob-
berry or otherwise, though they are in
clined TO the former belief.
After some hours of investigation,
and upon statements given by the
mother of the dead girl, DR.. Samuel j.
Kennedy, a young dentist of this city,
was arrested and is being held upon
suspicion of the murder. The fact that
not only the murdered woman was
robbed, but another robbery was COM
mitted on the same floor, incline the
police to the belief that the woman was
killed in an attempt to prevent rob-
berry,

FORCED HER TO TAKE POISON.
Charges Brought Against a Chicago
Preacher by His Wife.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-The alternative Of
poison or a revolver, with which to end
her life, was offered by the Rev. Fla
vius j. Brobst, a preacher and lecturer,
to hio wife, Mrs. Julie L. Brobst. ac-
cording to a bill for divorce filed in the
Superior court by Mrs. Brobst. The
wife alleges in her bill that she chose
laudanum as the means with which
to commit suicide, and that her life
was only saved after she had swal-
lowed the drug by the circumstances
of her having consumed a quantity of
milk. which ameliorated it's effects.
During the time Mrs. Brobst was un-
conscious from the effect of the drug,
a period of about twenty -one hours, as
set forth in the bill. Mrs. Brobst al
leges that her husband, according to
what he later told her, preached two
sermons. She also charges her hus-
band with squandering her property.

The Whole story Told by His Wife :.

"When my little boy was six years old
he had an attack OF the measles, and after
recovering he was restless at night, had
no appetite, and was cross and fretful.
Later on, large blotches and sores broke
out on his face and limbs. We were told
they would heal in a few days; but
these few days grew into months. One
day my husband, who is a well-known
railroad man, was advised by some OF his
fellow workmen to give the boy Hoods
Sarsapsrilla. We concluded to do 30, and
after he had taken the first bottle we
noticed some improvement. We kept on
giving him this medicine until he had
taken three bottles, when he was COM
pleteiy cured, and he has been we'll ever

to avert war, striven as no other nation
has to stomach our resentment and
choke down our sense of justice, that
freedom for Cuba might be reached
along the paths of prosperous peace.
Entreaty, waiting, warning have failed
of their offices, and war alone remains.
What has been desired as just before
God, we are now to enforce by the wea-
ponry of death and destruction.
We do not thirst for glory. We have
no conquests to make. The Starry Ban
ner is advanced to oppress no people,
to rob none Of their own. Unlike the
red and yellow Of Spain, it's folds have
never waved over pirate decks, or shell

advance the mingling colors of oul

awful gods of war to stand by the right
