AWFUL DOUBLE CRIME OF
JOHN N. TINsLEY.
KILLS WIFE AND HIMSELF
Beside Murdered One Is Said to
Have Another Wife at
Townsend.
KILLS WIFE and HIMSELF

Los Angeles, Dec. 27-John N.
Tinsley shot and killed his wife,
Anna P. Tinsley, on the street today
and then fired a bullet into his own
head, dying instantly. The courle
were married at Van Buren, Ark,
January 2, this year.
Tinsley represented himself as pos
sessed Of property in Helena, Mont
to the value Of $75, 900. His wife had
$400 cash and a house and lot in Jack
son, Tenn, valued at So, 800. This
latter her husband induced her to sac.
ritice for $1,000, and five days after
their marriage they came to Los
Angeles ON their honeymoon trip, the
expenses of which were betrayed by
Mrs. Tinsley. From here they went
to Mineral Wells, Texas, and August
.28 reached Excelsior Springs. Mo.
There Tinsley induced his wife to
transfer to him 500 that remained Of
her money and told her he must go to
Helena to settle up his affairs.
After his departure she found that
he had also taken diamond ring and
stud valued at $400. She received a
telegram from him later dated at Los
Angeles in which he acknowledged
that he had deceived her in regard to
his wealth and that she would see him
no more. She followed him, but in
the meantime he had departed for
Monnett, Mo.
Two weeks later he returned to Los
Angeles, and arrangement was made
whereby he gave her a draft on an
Arkansas bank for $325 and promised
to make reparation. She sent the
draft for collection and it Was re-
turned with the statement that all
money to Tinsley's credit had been
withdrawn by telegraph.
On the 21st of this month Mrs.
Tinsley filed suit against her husband
in the superior court to recover 81, 100
frauduently obtained from her and the
bitterness over this suit and the trou-
bles leading up to it evidently caused
the double tragedy this morning.
1t is now alleged that Tinsley has
another wife in Townsend, Mont.

RIOT IN PRISON
Maddened Female Inmates Saw
agely Attack Matron
and Warden.

New York, Dec. 27-Twenty mad
dened female prisoners in the Ray
mond street Jail, Brooklyn, rloted to-
day and fieroely assaulted Matron
Fannie Handy and Warden McGrath.
There was no attempt to escape.
The riot was in consequence of moth
ing but ill feeling. Miss Handy was
transferring some prisoners from one
corridor to another in the woman 8
section when she was attacked by
Nellie Jones, powerfully built
woman. who had been sentenced to 15
days for intoxication. Miss Handy
was felled. Nineteen other prisoners
then assaulted her.
While blows rained thick upon her
head and body she managed to reach
the push button that rang the bell in
the warden's office. Warden McGrath
rushed to the woman's department
without waiting to call for assistance.
Az he entered the corridor he diverted
the attention Of the infuriated women
and they jumped on him. Their
blows were fast and furious and Nc
Grath went to the floor. Hat pins
were brought into play and his face,
head and body were gouged. Miss
Handy made her way through the
crowd and again rang the alarm. The
sheriff, under sheriff and deputies re-
sponded. They had much toruble in
subduing the women, but succeeded
and two Of them were placed in
straight jackets. The others were
placed in separate cells and then a
physician was called to attend the
wounded warden and matron.

Will the Pope Live Long.

How long will the Pope live? A
well-informed writer of an article in
the new number Of Quarterly attempts
to answer the question. He says: The
Pope may, perhaps, find strength, not
only to greet his ninetieth birthday.
which falls in March, but even to sur
vive this century, to which he is pre-
pairing a farewell address. When this
work is accomplished he will, perhaps.
himself lie down to die. The Pope
medical attendant, DR.. Lapponi, proph-
esed in the Roman Review, written III
Latin, that the Pope will live one hun
dred years. Thy wish was father to
that thought" may very well be said
Of DR.. Lapponi Of the Pope's present
appearance and condition a striking
picture is drawn: For a long time
His Holiness has been more spirit than
body. In the thin, almost transparent
frame Of Leo XIII. the nerves trem-
bic; upon his pale face every emotion
Of the soul is evident. His senses still
remain acute; his hearing, as those
who have seen him within the last
month say, is good; and the eye, which
the German painter, Lenbach, depicted
in so like manner, shines yet with
all the old fire."

SPANISH VANITY.
How n Newspaper Man Played it on the
ConInandante.

Communicates.
Commandante Tobilla, one of the
leading Spanish officers in the late
war, is in his own country popular
writer and public speaker. A firm of
publishers in America is about to
bring out an English edition of his
book upon the war and the Cuban
question. Senior Tobilla is q man OF
infinite tact and courtesy, and has a
little more than his share of vanity.
Before the breaking out of hostilities
in Cuba q number of New York news
paper men were in Havana trying to
get sketches and information about
the Spanish army and Notifications.
They were warned by General Weyler
to stay in one place, and under no
conditions to take pictures of forts or
OF soldiers under penalty of imprison-
ment. One daring member of the
press, armed with camera, went to
one of the principal forts and began
to photograph it. He was taken in
by Tobias men and brought before
the Commandante as a captive. He
spoke excellent Spanish and thus ad-
dressed the officer:
Most Excellent Sir, at last / have
found you. have come all the way
from America to take your picture. !"
"Indeedl Why, my men say you
were taking pictures of foriifications!'
"No, indeed; heard of your valor
at a recent battle, and l made up my
mind that you were a hero and my
people ought to know Of you"
"But have not my proper uniform
on. Do you really wish to take me?"
Certainly; and after you get your
uniform on, have your men drawn up
in line and massed around you out in
the sunlight, go / cen get plenty of
light, and also prove to my people
what excellent soldiers You have in
your division" -
"You do me great honor, sir. Your
request shall be granted"
In short time the Commandante
and his men were on parade in front
of the Notifications and the newspaper
man took half dozen camera shots
at them, and also at tho fort. which
was the chief object Of the visit.
| TobilIa saw him off to the mex
town with q guard of honor and dis
charged him from custody with
salute, and in the next copy he sen
to his paper the correspondent ha(
the only pictures in existence of SOM
very important Notifications and tn
flower Of the Spanish soldiery il
Cuba. But Senior Tobilla does no
mention this incident in his ne1
book. SATURDAY Evening Post.
