WOMAN OF MYsTERY.-Mystery sur
rounds the life Of Mrs. Josephine An
drews, who is dying at the Richmond
alms-house, where she has lived off and
on for some years past. Occasionally
she visits relatives. but returns to the
almshouse. 4 few days ago the last
sacrament was administered, but the
aged woman has slightly improved since
that time and may live for some days.
About thirty years ago Josephine Burn
ley, a member of an old Virginia family,
left a nunnery, said to have been locat-
ed in Maryland. She came back to Vir-
GINA, and is said to have written a
pamphlet, alleged to have been an ex-
pose of practices that obtained at the
nunnery. But the woman did not for
sake the church, though she was I'M
sparing in her criticism of the insti-
tuition which she had deserted The
former nun married a man named An
drews, but both be and a son born of the
union are long since dead. For six
years she has lived at the almshouse,
leaving at short intervals to visit a
brother and sister in eastern Virginia.
Father Magri says there is mystery
about the woman's life which he has not
sought to dnravel, and the former nun
will probably take her secret to the
grave with her, for it is conceded at the
almshouse that she cannot possibly live
long.

MURDERoUs NEGro.-News has just
reached Helm, Ala, that three men
have been killed and ten wounded in Ran
dolph county by negro named Sledge
The sheriff and posse are now in pursuit,
but have not yet captured the murderer.
The trouble started over difficulty in
watermelon patch last Saturday. A
party of white men were working the
public road at Beaver Creek, near Lamar,
and when they finished they asked per-
mission to eat a few melons in the ne
gro's patch. They were told to help
themselves. The men began to cut and
slash melons and vines while Sledge look
ed on. The negro warned them to stop,
and then went after his gun. Returning
he emptied the weapon into the crowd,
wounding out of IL. Immediately
Sledge fed. Aposse headed by the sheriff
overlook the negro near bridge over
the Tallapoosa river, five miles from
Wedowee. He was ordered to surrender,
but replied by firing his shotgun, instant
ly killing Thomas Ebbet and Robert
Ford. Sledge was accosted on the road
yesterday by James Moore and Bud Will
son. Without warning the negro raised
his gun and fired, instantly killing Moore
and MORALLY wounding Wilson.

CI.EVELAND BOOM.

News that Charles F. Murphy, the
leader of Tammany Hall, aud other
leading democrats have agreed among
themselves and with national democrats
of great influence to elect New York
delegation to next years national con
yention favorable to former President
Cleveland reached Saratoga, yesterday.
1t was conveyed in a letter to Henry
Stafford Little, of New Jersey, associate
of Mr.. Cleveland on the board Of trustee
of Princeton University, and who IS now
a guest at the Grand Union Hotel, Sara
toea. and the letter was written by ex-
Senator james Smith, jr.. the democratic
State leader of New Jersey, Ex-senator
Smiths letter follows:
Nv Dear Friend You aud will be put
down as Cleveland boomers, by-and-by, but
if our people are as sensible as take them TO
be. they can elect him. He is the only man
they can elect at this time. | conferred with
the Tammany leaders soon after your article
appeared on A url %, and met Mr.. Charles
r Murphy and q number of other New YORK
democrats. and they all agreed with me that
the only thing to do was - nominate Mr..
Cleveland. am sure that New York State
will be in line for him at the convention. 80
will the whole east and the middle States.
Whether BRYAN and his friends can beat him
is hard to tell. Yours very truly.
JAMES SMITH, JR.
1t is expressly denied by democrats in
New York who are competent to speak
for the party organizations of New York
and New Jersey that there is any
machine movement in existence or in
contemplation to bring about Mr.. Cleve-
land nomination.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends say that be
would certainly object to such a move
ment or to any sembance Of construc-
tive politics in his behalf 1t is ex-
planned by them that Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Murphy have each found the Cleve-
land sentiment overpowering in the or
CARNATIONS for which they stand, and
that they believe it is wise politics to
give prompt expression to the sentiment
Some very broad claims have been adj
yanced for the Cleveland movement in
New York as a result of the Smith
letter. Politicians who profess an ac-
ouaintance with the conditions in New
England, Pennsy lyania, and the middle
and southern States, pronounce ex-Sen-
alor Smiths view correct as to the
Cleveland probabilities.

Negro whips White Woman

Washington, Pa, Aug. 19.--Mrs.
Mary f. Myers, of Bunola, near Wash
ington, was attacked and horsewhipped
by a negro, w. 5. Sanders, Monday
afternoon. The woman was badly in
jured, and the negro is held for a trial at
Court. Last Monday a large crowd of
people gathered at the Monongahela
wharf at Bunola, where a show boat was
moored. Among the crowd were Mrs.
Myers and her little daughter, and the
negro Sanders, who is teamster. The
little Myers girl started a conversation
with Sanders, when her mother reproved
her, telling her to 90 away from the ne
gro. This so enraged Sanders that,
raising the heavy whip which he
carried he attacked Mrs. Myers, lashing
her repeatedly about the face and body. The
woman screamed with pain and fright and
swOoued. A rush was made for Sanders by
bystanders and he was dragged down the
street by his legs. Cries of Lynch him."
were heard on every side, and it WIS feared
that the negro would be summarily dealt
with. Officers, however, rescued him from
the crowd and placed him in the borough
prison. He was given a hearing, pleaded
guilty and was remanded to the county Jail
to wait trial at Court. Mrs. Myers was so
b ily injured that she was unable to appear
against him.

PHYsOANs of some lthelarger cities
are skeptical concerning the report that
tetanus has been successfully treated by
DR.. 5. A. Matthews. OF the University OF
Chicago by the injection Ola solution OF
calcium and potassium salts. Its held
that while the treatment may have
wrought the cure reported, the patient
may have recovered entirely without the
aid of the injection, and that there is still
much to be done in the way Of expert
mentadon before a remedy has been
discovered that may be relied uponi in the
treatment of the disease The world,
however, would rejoice over the discovery
of a sure panacea for the dreaded tetanus,
a disease often supernduced by some
slight accident. DR.. Matthews may yet
be successful in his experiments.

r. Morgan, the millionaire sash and
door manufacturer, was shot to death at
Oshkosh, Wis, yesterday, by Frederick
Hampel, discharged employee. Ham,
pei was overpowered and taken to Jail,
where he committed Suicide later by
hanging himself when no one was watch
ing. He made a moose out of his sus-
pender, tying the other enG to a bar of
his cell. Mr.. Morgan died on the way
to the hospital. The excitement about
the Morgan plant was intense, and the
news quickly spread over the city. Mr..
Morgan went to his Office yesterday
morning as usual and at 10 o'clock was
about the GROUNDS. Hampel was not
noticed by the manufacturer, but had
been seen in the vicinity of the factory,
and by some it is said was under the in
fuence of liquor. The shots were fired
from behind, each entering the victims
back. After the shooting Mr.. Morgan
walked unassisted from the scene of the
shooting to his office, and the ambulance
was called. The police were notified
that lynching was contemplated, and
they took extra precautions to prevent
an attack on the Jail. The shooting
was witnessed by several people.

Wife Laid by Riches.

Morristown, n. j., Aug. 19.-When
John KEENAN,, of Wharton, buried his
wife last Thursday he was in sore straits
for money and was compelled to enclose
her body in a rude pine box. Now he
has wealth, not millions. but several
thousand dollars, all due to his wile's
frugaity during the half century of their
married life. After her death he, un-
able to read, took some papers left by
his wife to Charles Hance, proprietor Of
the Wharton Hotel. Among these
Hance found one which read "Mon-
day 81 in the hen-coop. Friday, 20
cents in the chimney pot. Sun
day, $1.78 in the cellar. Tuesday SO
cents i'll cistern." In the hen-cOOp
under stone slab the men found tin
box full of coins. 1t contained nearly
$l4O0. Then began an exciting day
and the search is not yet ended. About
$4,000 was discovered in pot hanging
to the roof of the cistern. More than
500 was in the chimney pot. The
cellar hiding place has not yet been
found, but Hance and keenan, are dig
ging up the ground as fast as they can.
The chimney pot was beneath the rude
fireplace. The money thus far found
amounts to about $1,000.

MURDERED AND MUTILATED. The
mutilated body of four-year-old Alphonse
Wines, whose father lives in Detroit,
Mich, was found yesterday in a
lot at the rear of the Michigan Stove
Works. The body was discovered by a
workman about 10 o'clock wedged in be-
tween two molding boxes, The hands
were tied behind with wire and a red
handkerchief had been stuffed down the
little fellows throat for gag. The
body was partly stripped of clothing.
The abdomen was slashed open and the
left wrist was nearly severed. Both
thighs also had long, deep cuts in them.
All the wounds had apparently been
made with some very sharp instrument
Alphonse had been missing from home
since Monday noon. 1t is evident that
the murder was not committed near where
the body was found, for although there is
scarcely drop Of blood left in the little
fellows body, there was practically no
blood on the boards where be was found
4 search for bloOdstains to and from the
scene was inaugurated without result
Perhaps the strangest phase Of the
mystery is that there we're only few
small stains on the body and clothing oil
the lad, despite the horrible character OF
bis wounds. 1t looks as though the
murderer, after committing the deed,
washed the blood from the body and then
carried it to the lot where it was found.
The police are satisfied that the boy was
murdered by a maniac and are working
along these lines alone. There have
been several other crimes against chill
dren in the city recently, and many
persons believe that a maniac Of unusual
cunning is responsible
