A HORRIBLE CUTTING AFFAIR.
Butcher John Henderson Practices His
Trade on His Wife.

While at tea Saturday night, Mr..
G. NJ Hurst was startled by the
agonizing shrieks of a woman. He
and Nh. JIM. Lawrence ran out to the
street to discover the cause, and found
woman standing on the sidewalk
crying, "John has cut me- John has
cut men' On the other side of the
street, they saw man complacently
viewing the scene, and when they ap-
preached him to inquire if he knew
anything concerning the woman he
made a record breaking run, unpaced,
up Washington street, with Mr.. Law
renee and Mr.. Hurst running close
second and third. Nj. Hurst attempt
ed to make short cut, and when
crossing ditch. the ground very un-
tremendously few up and hit him
in the face. He was 80 bewildered
that he gave up the chase. MI. Law
renee got close enough to John to put
his hand on his coat, and the magic
touch of his hand seemed to inspirit
the pursued to greater things, and be
bade his pursuer goodnight.
Mr.. Lawrence stopped, and gazed
upon the fleeing negro, and some
one approaching heard him say,
"Well. I guess that's running 'em
some.''
When the two returned to the scene
of the cutting, the woman was no
where to be found. A little later Mr..
Willie Moran nearly stumbled over her
prostrate form in front of Mrs. Kilgo's
boarding house. She was taken to DR..
Moods Infirmary where she was dis
covered to be in an almost dying con-
dition, being so weak from loss of
blood that three hours elapsed before
her pulse could be found. Heroic
treatment was resorted to, saline
solution being injected into her veins,
which resuscitated her in remarka-
uiy short space of time.
Her body was terribly cut, one
wound being from her shoulder to her
elbow, and severing the biceps of
the left arm. Another wound on her
head was very ugly one-the ear was
cut entirely in two. There were nu-
merous other wounds on other parts
of her body Of less grave nature. If
she had not received medical attention
when she did, death would have re-
suited in thirty minutes. Next morn
ing she was in much improved con-
dition.
It was afterwards discovered that
the woman was attacked by her hus
band, John Henderson, who is en-
ployed by Mr.. Eugene logan as a
butcher. He was evidently trying
new blade On his wife. Up to- this
time, no trace of him has been found.

Electric elevators are now on the market in which the control and opera ton is reduced to the simplest con ceivabIe terms, so that accidents can, not happen through the ignorance or carelessness of women and children, says writer in trade paper. In this system a passenger desiring to use the elevator presses a button placed near the elevator shaft, and the car, if not in use, immediately travels to that floor and stops automatically. When the car has come to rest at that floor. the door can be opened. The passen- ger then enters the car and closes the door. Unless the door is tightly closed the car will not leave that floor. In, side the car is series of push buttons, numbered to correspond with the vari- ous floors. The passenger pushes the proper button, and the car proceeds to the desired landing and stops auto matfcally. Not until the passenger has left the car and closed the door can the elevator be controlled from any other floor. Should the passenger de. sire, for any reason, to stop the car at any point of its travel, he can do so instantly by merely pushing the safe ty button with which the car is pro- yided.

The poll taken by the Democrat last week shows that the Parker men are in the majority in this city Our republican neighbors try to make us think differently, but the democrats have the figures to back up their statements. About one-thfrd of the cards sent out by tine Democrat were returned, a number of them not reaching the parties to whom they were addressed The persons who ad- dressed the cards wouldn't know a democrat from prohibitionist, nor a republican from a socialist, so that in that respect 1t was fair and impartial. Up to date of those returned Parker has 95 and Roosevelt 80, on the straight vote. Voters who lined up with Mckinley in 1900 to the number of 16 will vote for, Parker this time, while only of those who voted for Bryan are going over to Roosevelt. Of those who didn't vote at all four years ago the number is equally divided be- tween the two candidates, four of each. Straws show which way the wind blows, is. an old saying, and the Democrat poll shows which way the Waterbury voters are going. This city should be good for 500 democratic ma jority.

THE CONVENTION HABIT. Whenever a Few of Our People Get Together They Organize for
 Business.

It is said to be trait of the Anglo Saxons that whenever few of them come together they elect chairman and proceed to business. A modern humor- ist had this tendency in mind, says Youths Companion, when he proposed the organization of League for Letting Things Alone.
 During the vacation season just closed, when men and women have had time to gratify their taste for talk, the papers have been full of the reports of the meet ings of congresses of all sorts. The delegates have. gathered from various parts of the land. have 'sswapped" ex- periences, have elected officers for the ensuing year, and then have gone home.
 Their pleasure in attending the con- ventions has been mingled with a modi- cum of profit. Pleasure and profit, ad- vantageously blended, are none too common in this scrambling world ;; and he would be mean-spirited philosopher who would grudge them to the purchas- CTS of special convention tickets" on the railroads, or to the patient audiences of those who indulge themselves in the satisfactions of public discourse.
 The conyention-goers, in the heat of debate, are still aware that many things are likely to occur, even in their own field of effort, without their constant aid. They know that the forces of nature will continue to join with the energies of man, in agriculture, commerce and men tai endeavor, to bring to fruition the seed which has been planted.
 Although the Anglo-Saxon knows this, he will continue to organize. to talk and to listen--to the good Of his soul and of his body. But it Is we'll for him to re- member that Emerson once reported na- ture as looking upon the man who has just rushed from place of discussion into the fields and woods, and asking him: "So hot, my little sir?"

 There is trouble i'll the artillery ser vice because a soldier has married a colored woman who nursed him through a long illness, contracted in Cuba during the Spanish war, and the war department is asked to discharge him from the service. Would there have been whisper of complaint against him if he had taken the wo- man as his mistress instead of assum- ing the obligations of honorable we'd lock? The colored maniacs have a curious sense of decency and honor Brooklyn Times.
