USED VITRIOL.
Miss Farrell Resented Her
UncIe'S III-Treatment and
II Burned Him Badly.

Philadelphia, May 1S.-George Far
rell, aged 81, lies helpless in St. Mary's
hospital, burned about the face, hands,
neck and arms. His 17-year- niece,
Alvina, is a weeping prisoner in the
tenth district station house for throw
ing the vitroil that disfgured him.
fAlvina's mother is dead and she kept
housSA for her father and her uncle
George. Her father went out every
day 10 work. while Uncle George stayed
home and. IL is said, found his princi-
pal diversion in abusing her.
The Farrslls' next door neighbor used
vitroil on the beds yesterday. and AL
vina borrowed a cupful for use today.
Uncle George was swearing when he
came I'm today and he continued to
swear as he went upstairs. Alvina, as
she had occasionally done before. mus
tered courage to tell him that IL was
time he let her alone. Upon this he
rushed at her.
Keep away. Uncle George!" she said
warningly. Don't you dare to touch

Uncle George replied that not only
would he touch her, but he was going
10 choke the impudent breath out OF
her. and his fingers were extended to
clutch her slender white throat.
But before he achieved II Alvina
threw the vitroil in Uncle Georges face.

A new trial has been denied Andrew
weeden, who killed his wife by shoot
ing at Narragansett Pier some months
ago. The circumstances about the
shooting OF Mrs. Weeden created con-
siderable talk and verdict of not
guilty was expected from the jury.
The appellate courts decision in the
case is, in part, as follows: I'VE have
diligently examined the evidence in
this case and are of the opinion that
II Is sufficient to support the verdict of
the jury. The testimony of the defend
ant TO the effect that he accidentally
shot his wife in attempting TO defend
himself from an attack of the witness
Jackson, Is wholly unsupported ex-
cept by his own testimony, and in view
OF the fact that he had shortly before
threatened to shoot his wife. that he
was exceedingly jealous of her. that
he had abused her to such an extent
that she could not live with him and
had returned to her fathers home for
protection from the defendants vio-
lence; that on the evening Of the shoot
ing the defendant had followed his wife
and Jackson more or less for sometime
In a sullty and revengeful spirit, II was
very natural for the jury 20 dlsbelieve
his testimony and 10 come to the con-
clusion that the homicide was felon-
ious.
1T Is true. as claimed by the defend-
ants counsel. that there IL an incon-
sistency between the Testimony OF
Jackson as TO the nearness Of the pistol
10 the face OF the deceased when the
fatal shot was fired, and the testimony
of the medical examiner and others as
TO the absence of powder-marks upon
her face. But we do not think this cir
cumstance Of sufficient Importance 10
control our decision. The affair took
place out Of doors about III o'clock az
night: jackson was doubtless more or
less excited. and it was competent Tor
the fury TO believe his testimony IN
general as 10 the shooting. and az the
same time find that he was mistaken

1 The Mystery Of Maieklng.

There is nothing to throw light on
the mystery of Mafeking. The usual
crop OF rumors were started on the
stock exchange and elsewhere based
mostly on the fact that this day, May
IS. is the earliest date on which Lord
Roberts held out TO Mafeking the pros
poets OF relief. The national anxiety is
strained almost beyond endurance. al
though nowhere is there the slightest
doubt that Col Baden-Powell Will keep
the union jack flying. On the line Of
Lord Roberts advance the only inn
portant news is that the Beers have
blown up ridge over the Rhenoster
river 81 miles north of Kroonstad.
The latest report is that the Mafe-
king relief force left Bloemfontein at
the beginning OF May and marched
straight across the country towards the
goal passing TO the rear of the Boer
forces at Fourteen Streams. 1t is add
ed that satisfactory news of the pro-
gress of this force was received May
