ANOTHER "MG DAY.

A GREAT CROWD AND A IOUS TIME. GLOR-TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND PEOPL13 ON THE GROUNDS. TUB rKF.MIV.M3 AWARDED YESTKUDAY AT THE EXPOSITION THK SPLENDID STOCK DISPLAY AGRICULTURAL HALL AND ITS CONTENTS IHK PliCXJRAMMK FORTO-DAY NOTES ON NATTER? OP GENERAL INTEREST. All the prophets who predicted a "Dig "Week' hare o far been unusually fortunate In having Buch predictions fully met. The great day of the parade was considered to nave brought more people here thao any other event would durioz the entire Exposition, but yesterday's attendance dis proved this. -and the continuous How of humanity into the Exposition, oegianing early in tho morning and ending only at nightfall, anr massed that cf an v previous day. The build ingwti not only full but tho grounds were alo densely covered witn men, wonwo ami childien; horses, carriages and cares. t course, outside, tho thief attraction was tho stock. Everybody bad to tako a look at the fine thoroughbred horses, to gaze at tbe sleek broad lucked cattle, (some of whom prilled dow n the scales at -I.OuO pounds), while others crazed raptur ously at the tine silk-like coverings of 'Chester white," and admired the snowy J'eeco of the gentle Southdown' Then the oehins and Brahmas, and bantoms, red and black Spanish, and other beauties of the enusiKiUltry, also had their admirers, as well luey miaht, for a finer collection it would I : dirlicult to find anywnere. After having exbau&t d the sights -out doors, tho -curiosity f okers would agnin turn Into the building and VIEW ITS WONDER O'ER. Nearly every paterfamilias brought his whole family along, aud such quantities of sandwiches, and wm ana rye ureaa, ana pickles and other specimens of culinary art, ms were devoured, the miaid (or the stom ach lor that matter) can hardly grasp. The nrudent and economical foreswore the al lurement olt be counter lunches and regaled themselves at a little cost on "things brought from hum." Not every one whs both on Tkln&Aiim Ivnt. and vet nossessed a frugal mind, iluudreds on spying Ohmer's place, in floral hall. immediately entered in and partook of the dainties or the more solid -excellencies kOf cooking as his or her particular fancy might dictate, and departed feeling that it was indeed good to have bewi there. The green houses aud iloral hull do not leeome monotonous even to the every day visitor. Yesterday, in .ad dition to lh portion of the lloral display of the previous day, was a "arge and splendidly assorted collection of flowers and roses, sent by the Ileinl Bros., of Terre Haute. They proiose to send a collet-lion every other day. It tt not designed to be entered for premiums, but only as an attractive lecture in tloral hall. Mr.ttag'iD, superintendent ot this lepartment. State that no tar the display of jjusvera is lar ahead of last year, both in varietr and kind, and in general arrangement. A not der new featn ra, one that has lately been couediig to the Iroat, is tho AGRICULTURAL IIAI.L. Although inot yet fall it bogins to assume a particularly promising appearance and will be one of the great objects ol interest to everyon-!. Already tho counties of J.Iendricka. Morgan, Tippecanoe and Marlon are well represented in the eastern part of agricultural hall, beside which several townships are well represented. The dUpIfy 01 corn in the ear, oi the white and yellow -variety, is excellent, and a number of twenty-fou wowed ears are prominent. "Wheat, rye and buckwheat are shown, and some fine samples of apples show their red cheeks close by.. The center of the hall is particularly noticeable. A stand ol pyramid lor in Is covered completely with choice articles of canned fruit, jellies and jams." Surmounting the whole and arranged by the delt bands ot some lady, Las is apparent - from thetastedisplayed is a pyramid oi wine glasses, eacu glass .filled with amber colrod, wine red, orange and other kinds ot jelly, which to Jook upon fairly makes one's mouth wüter. The "granger" is particularly prominent. and stands on the north side of the pyramid, in all the glory of nis immense bight, and keeping an eye out to see that no "middle .uiau"coms between him and the surrounding agricultural products. The display oi fruits, pastry, bread, butter, etc., are yet to come, aud when placed in thir respective departments will coiumete the list in agricultural hall. GIJEPREM1UMS.

The former won three of the liFHt beats easily. Time 2; 2:31, 2:.'iQ. Bay Kallie accordingly took the UJ purse, and Granger the Nk); tle third going to tbe association, there being no third contesting horse. ODDS AND ENIS. . Thevo is some in ol teeth gas around tho not li-rhted sooner wailing and gnushreported. because tbe Exposition building is in tbe evening. Those driving up fiud it emliarassinj; to avoid ruuning into other conveyances, and ieople Avulklnz around are in laue r of beiiiff trampled on, or falling into tnud-boles and "sich." The request is that the gas be lighted earlier, or the moon be brought up sooner. The number of tickets sold yesterday a crczatod about 2.",0o0, which are divided as I. u lows: Main entrance, IUk; tide, S.otKi; gate fees and exhibition tickets, ".,000. Altogether it was the biegest YVednesday since tho Exposition was first founded. The programme for to-day is as follows: Examination of horses fr general purposes, and match horses, and tbe continua tion of the examination of cattle and bogs. At 2 r. at. (open to all) trotters that never beat 2: lu, a purso of !20; i2 to the first; 0 :to tbe second, and 'M to the third. On rnnrble statuary, Messrs. arpenter Jiros. took tbe premium ou the statuary around the music pagoaa. rt'MPS AND WECLs. - Tbe workings ol 11. lw Bonso s wells arc truly tartling. Tiiey are diplaj-ed in the northwest corner of the building and eight or ten streams of water, ranging from a half inch lo four Inches. are 'onsiantly beln forced irom Hie ground and emptied in troughs. Oneot the pumps in use is from tlie N-ew-astle. Ind.. manufactory, where alono they are made, and is a success in if simplicity and power. It is capable of pcrlorming l.iMO revolutious a imuute, and easily makes from 1W to 2io, the rerjuirel uuinUer. .11 has a spven iorh cylinder and lor 8M :'i00 (rations of water to the minute. The well ot Mr. House's make liave a world-wide reputation, and ibe name ollJousebiis become univcisuiiy ass.tiated with wells. AT TJU3 nEAU of the south stairway is the exhibiiion ol the ."singer sowing machines, from tbe spacious store Xoe. 72 andTi West Washington street. The t pace w raided and nurrounded lira handsoino railtnir. foine ten or twelve ol llifir machines are kept Dnstantly in operation byatientivt extUi.'rs, and atlord much pleasure to tho viUor.

In all the display can be said to to among tho most attractive at Xho Exposition, and justifies the Immen business which this company dcea. NEAr. THE CENTER oftheMnsic Hall Is the display of Wolframs Bros, of Connersvillo. They aro peneral agents lor the Steck, Licdemnu r,m llehning it Iiehl piano and the concert organ, These gendemau aro favorably

known throughout tbe State, and deserve credit for coming here as they have, i IN THE JrrsiC ITALL the display of Arlon pianos, by Mr. Ed. M. Uale, general aeent for the States of Indiana, Ohio and Keutueky is onool the best displays. The New England organ la also here being shown by Mr. A. A. lieyl, in its most attractive points. Bergman's Au omatic Wonder seems to be the attraction at the Exposition. The "granger" invariably makes a rush for the front seats. It is seldom ouo has such an opportunity to see auch a curiosity, and

every one is advised to visit this wonder of the nineteenth century. Take your ladies In to see it. THE GENUINE. - Quite a drawback forced itself on Mr. Colclazer yesterday, by the combination of tbe lock in his sale forcing itself out of order. All day long the hammer and chisel was brought to bear on tbe doors, and not until 5 o'clock were they opened and the goods placed in the case. When they were, however, the place presented all its old appearance of elaborate beauty. Tbe display Mr. Colclarer has made during the entire'time ol the Exposition will be remembered hereafter For extensivenes and taste U has not been surpassed in any lino of business, and it is a fiiithlul sample of his business. After the sale was opened and the goods put on display yesterday it was an interesting scene to witness, when the csowds gathered around the jewelry casp, aud made their comments. AT THE SECOND SPACE, west of the music pagoda, is one of the displays of Mr. II. 8. Bigliam, agent oi the Buffalo Scale Ompany. Platform and counter scales of all sizes aro here. Placed on tho top of one are two heads of Buffalo, one of which has gas jets projecting lrora its nostrils. North ot the building Mr. Bigham has a Urge track scale and a four ton hay scale both ot which are ofexeellent workmanship. The scales ot this manufacture are too well known throughout the country for their durability and correctness to need any comment . here. Suffice it to be said that Mr. Bigham is constantly receiving flatering testimonials of the scales and need only to show the qualities or tbein to satisfy Ja purchaser. Owing to the need of a larger room Mr. Bigham has. moved his storerooms to tbe second door west of Alabama on Washington street, where a full supply of these excellent scales can always be examined. TnETREMlUM ON MARELK STATUAr.V was vesterday awarded to Messrs. Carpenter Bros., whose place is at the corner of .Market and Meridian streets, mis city, ine handsome statuary place! ' around the pagoda were the ones on arhicn it was awarded. This firm stand high throughout the West in the American marble, S-otch anflkAinerieaii granite business. In evi dence of this fact, there aro many handsome monuments erected by them, which cause universal admiration. The Franklin statu recently placed in the Frauklin build inland tho Alvord monument at Crown Hill Cemetery are from their place. Their disrtlav of monuments and marble goods is at the'thlrd space west ol tho pagoda, aud is one that is admired ereatly. A. visit to their pl-e in tbe eity will tx well paid in aeeinc; some of their line workmanship in marble and other stono. STALLS ANI PENS. THE FINE . STOfiK I'.REEDEr.S AND THEIR TR17.E TAKERS. In the immense amount of fine bred swine on tho fair grounds there is an indication of a purpose which all fairs should be made to subserve; vi the sale of stock and the distribution of good blood among the farmers. At this State Fair the breeders of bog have brought in 40. 00 and, in one case, as high as 1"0 head, which thoy hold lor sale and aiuiubers ot which they have sold. It may bo something of an imposition on tho managers to furnish pens for stock sales, but it will suggest suitable arrangements for this very important purpose of a stock fair. It is a little wonderful what prices a pig will brins which belongs: to this hoggish aristocracy. Forty, ?C0, and even 100 have been paid for singl. animals on the ground, and the like figures have been repeatodly refused for choice specimens, ail of which shows that fine breeding is tho way to make money off irom the farm. In noting some ol' the progressive stock breeders interviewed by the Sentinel it will not be possible to introduce every name in a Mingle fcsue, as it was impossible to make acareful inspection of all the valuable herds jid collection on the ground. But in the course ot the lair further specifications ol special merit will be made. In tbe line of tltouroughbred short horns, it is not discourtoous to any to name first on the list, the great broeders ol our own state, EN. SOL. MEREDITH &. R0X. Thoir three-year-old bull "Forest Napier" has beaten in every ring where bo has been shown by tbe side of the finest Kentucky and Illinois couipotitors, and in every show this year has carried off the sweep-stakes priw. H is doubtful whether before any competent and impartial committee this an imal can J. beaten in America. J le weighs nearly or quite 2,4K), is of a fine deep red, and comes up to tbe Ideal standard at every point, wliich is saying a great deal. Tho cow lluberta, five years old, is a worthy complement to Napier, she having taken the red ribbon in all the numerous fairs where ' she has been shown In thw and previous years. Gen. Meredith has just added to his herd, which now numbers 14 on the ground, two imporiH.1 heifers which have not yet got rested from their voyage across the Atlantic. They have been ou exhibition in England since tho 4th of July, and have won laurels In that Dat ive home ol the shortlmni. One, a white bcifor, now jast two years old, took tho lirs'., prize in Iyer class, at tho Boyal Cattle Show, at Bedford, in July. The other is a , deep rHi, and also a prie winner in Kokand. Fach one of the P in tho stalls is worthy a special description, but it is bolter to go aud soo theso flue rattle on the grounds. The Merediths also show 1.7 imported sheep, both Cotswolds and Soutbdou ns, which aro premium animals, and very fine. Thess gentlemen sold nearly ono hundred head at their sale last June, and are now irpin; on t -arry their herd to a still higher mark of perfection. It is no small honor to tbe state that Indiana not only equal but excels her neighlrs, in tho successfai breeding of bJoodcd stock. She hns many good herds aud individual cattle of merit scattered over the slate, but (Jen. Meredith has done more to eslucato tho people by the wide exhibition of bis stock at grett labor acd expenso than any other citizen.' Y'isitors interested in tho department will not tail to look at theso animais, If they wish to soe tbe bost. Mention lias been uiado before of the HERD OP ALDERNKY bv Mr. H. M. Foynty, of Maysvllle, Ky. Of pure Woods, there are live and twelve grade cows an! heifers, which aro lor sale. This brcl is no' lor licef, but cream and butter. Their irtuo is in t be unsaqmed richness of milk. Tho Alderney is the cow for the 1'amily. fc'ito is peutl. and " domestic; milk, cream and buttor are her forte, and tho color and ilavor of Ald?rney butter can not be equalled by any other breed ot cows. Jn lookmj; at thosa peculiarly colored and marked animals, so entirely 1 liferent from the shorthorn mountains ot beef, this fact should be anderstood. ,. Jir. l'oyntz has made a valua-. hie contribution to the lair bv showinj thse preUy friends of the lamiiy iu centra-it -.vita.

other breeds, and at tho same time has brought within reach tbe very thing for thoso who wih to buy a family cow. The fair is honored this year by the visit of some very remarkable stock Irom Whitesville, Canada, brought in by MESSRS. 1! RATTY AND MILLER. JSoonecan afford to omit the sight of the great Clydesdale flallion, Johnny Coppe, six years old. 17 hands high, and weighing nearly 2,100 pounds, yet as elastic in action as a fibey ot 1,000 pounds. This elephantine horse has been on these chores only three Weeks, and is n priv-.n taker in all the shows of heavy drati horses in Scotland and wherever he h-ts hen entered. Besides his immense size he is finely proportioned and is every way a perfect horse. They have al-wj a two-year-old iiliev whoso vnlue is at least $2,000. They ! show four Imported short born cattle. IIrit:sh Ilaron" fonr year old has tiken prizes in tbe old eountry'and the four year old cow, lluttcrlly's Duchesse won the prize at lU-i royal show this year. She is a smooth fend well bre animal. It is both curious n 1 instructive lo examine thes late hpri a'ion trom the laud of aristocratic cat t' h nd people. While looking at horse llesh a moment, one can net pass by tbe OR AY WILLI R RANOER, owned by Hushman, Nagle & Ccilln, shown by Mr. O. Nsgle, from Arcadia, Hamilton county. This is an Fnglish draft horse, and as fine a proportioned animal as there is on .he ground. Ho Is lC"i hands high, weighs 1,700 pounds, was sired by "Old England Glory," and is now six years old. He will keep tho next sea3on as tbe last in Boone county. Gentle as a Iamb and strong as locomotive, be is the ideal of a heavy draft stallion both in size and action. There are a lew hundred more hogs in attendance at the State Fair than were noticed on Tuesday. Thelajliana breeders are out in iorce. MR. WILLIAM H. SPAHR, ! Millersville, in this county, has eighty head of the finest breeJ Poland China hogs of ail ages and sizes from an soo porker down. The old "Crown Prince" and king oi all ' lately concluded to pass in his checks and leave the honors to his successor of the same name, which now, at five months, promises to beat all before his time. Fifty dollars has been offered and refused for his pigship. Tbe sow Peerless" i9 two anil one-half years old, weighs in low llesh GT0, and is undeniably one of the smoothest and best formed breeding sows in the pens. Near by is a group ot three ball year old pig, whose companions no better brought $10 since earning on the grounds. Another pen of 10 pigs are all perfect leautios. Mr. Spahr does not fatten his brooding animals lofittnem for the show, and they prove their really high-bred qualities by appearing in their everyday condition. He has a large number of choice pigs on sali of azes to suit purchasers, and of quality which cannot be surpassed. These Poland-China bogs are all black, or nearly so, but if anybody prefers a clean and mire white pig. and one that is handsome

as a picture, let him look at THE CIIESTEP. WHITES ! ofE? Tt. Moody, of Kminence, ICy. Tie shows 20 head. Of these, the three year old boar, "Eminence," haa won rrin.9 first prizes vhin vnar, anl throe of them at Slate fairs in Ohio, Illinois, and Iowa. This ho weighs TOO, and 13 an excfptionally lino bog every way. The sow, Kentucky Belle," two years olü, with a litter of ten pigs (üve old). is a prietaker, and one oi the finest ol her kind. Mr. Moody has young stock of all aees for sale, and for the Vtest type of pure Chester Whites there can be no better bred animals found, as one can see by calling at hi pens on tho west side of the grounds. It is tbe boast of MR. JAMES MI STAKD that be never has any trouble with bog cholera. That dire scourge does not come nieh unto his yards. Whv? Because he breeds for vigor and vitality. His breed are Poland China, of which he shows SO head. Mr. Mustard is a Msrion county farmer at Broad Kipple, and a credit to the county. His old hoar. Black Dawk, excites as much wonder as an elephant. and collects almost as large a crowd as tho alligator. He weighs K"0 pounds, but stands up on bis good legs like a race horse. Deep through the lungs full and round at all points, he defies all diseases except tlx butcher knife trouble. He took the ribbon in Butler county, Ohio, and that h a hrd county to teat in. The sweet little sow. Nevada, weighs 600 pounds, and a pen of nino p!gs are all pictures. Two other sows, one and two years old, are won ders in their way. Mr. Mustard sells breed ing stock. m . MR. RAXKIN BALOIUDOF., of Hagarstown. Wavue county. ha3 CO To land China hogs, 10 head of Leicester sheep, and two shorthorn bullion exhibition. He, it is, who paid tho sum of .10) for a two year old boar, which is a ho? worth looking at by those who want good stock. He showf, also, two sows that are exceedingly fine, and also ,very large. It is not lor a nG.spaper to judge the breeds, but these bogs, while coming np to great size and strong constitution, are also smooth and fine as Suffblks almost Among the best of Indiana dealers in thoroughbreds are MESSRS. A. S. jILM0YR4: CO., of Greensbnrg. Decatur county. They have 42 head of Borkshires, and very finely bred hogs they are. "Bob," a two year old boar, took the second premium yesterday, only yielding by courtesy the red ribbon to an imported Fnglish Berkshire, brought from Canada to this fair. The sow, iueen of tho West, two years old, has never lcen beaten, and has won in tbrea sweepstakes rings this vear, which is enough to say of her in a State where Borkshires are extensively bred and carried to perfection. "Nellie Grant" is a young prizo winner, and in several shows lias never been beaten. . . FOltTY ACRES OF SOLU CROWD. ATiutTMPir von the exposition not less THAN FORTY THOUSAND VISITORS EVERYP.OliY ENJOYS THE DAY AND IS JU 111 LA NT. Tim greatest wonder of Thursday, was the people. Such was the tide of humanity that rolled alonir every channel, that individuality soemed wholly lost, and the moving masses llowod like streams wherever an opening for ingress or egress could be found. Standing in tho Exposition Hall, on the lower lloor, it was curious to close tho eyes and fix attention upon tho steady roar of tho strngging currents and cataracts of moving life. Like the "sound of many waters" it was iu truth the realization of tho apocalyptic ligure. Overhead, tho floors anil, gallerlas were ompletely filled, so that a pirt of the inasa was forced np through the scuttles upon tho roof. The noise of the machinery was so buried and blended with the steady thunder of the multitude, that.it served only as a harmonious accompaniment, as of artillery discharged underneath the Tablo Hock of Niagara. Tho surging waves rolled out into Floral Hall, d.tsned downward to the grotto, filled into ' all thr sides and nooks of that magical garden, dashed into tho refreshment enclo3urc. tho "Great Republic" picture ball, iilred the cave under the water fall, and poured out at last; through every outlet like pont-np waters from a reservoir in count less st reams. Jtcan ! liardl x be said that in the round the, Jlpd was much srjrojd Out. liven there all space was full aud overflowing. From tho stock

stalls on the w est to the agricultural prodduct building on the east was one dense and continuous army, rushing on and on. To attempt the passage between tho two points was like going Into battle, almost. Another thing. These people were from tbe country and tbe cities and villages of the state round about. The liberality of the railroads in granting excursion rates proves a grxnl policy for all concerned. Tbe people outside erjoy a cheap excursion to tbe city and it was t.o M:iall part . ot. tbe amusement to iiote the bleasant meetings of friemlN . withered here from UistsDt place. The street car business was funny to all, except the Cr overloaded brsites that were driven and ged alinofet to death lo the transportation fctruggle. Thus it was yesterday, and the same thing is to be repeated to-day and tomorrow. Now, alter this, if there is a financial squeeze on tbe day of settlement, it will prove bad management, waste and stcaiin; somewhere. Fverybody remarks the extraordinary collection of live stock. A dir:mInating foreign Tisitor and stock mart said that he had been live or six times to attend the great shows iu England, and that he had never come in contact with such a dicpluv in excellence and quality as be found on tiic.-e grounds. And right here it is due to MB. WILLIAM SMITH, of Detroit, to call attention to tbe fact that he has contributed to this fair a larger, more varied and valuable stock show than has ever been made by any

The two great steers, weighing almost two tons each, are as shapely aud handsome as they are great. His abort horn bull "Emperor," thoroughbred, and not fattened for show, is the rjal equal of the best fancy animal, and as he is for sale at reasonable figures, is a rare purchase for some wise stock farmer. His 12J hogs embrace three breeds, two of which theSufiblks and Essex, aro a novelty in these part, and worthy of careful study. Those white Suffblks are absolutely unequalled. The fine ten-montbs sow, "Bntterball," with her nine pigs, was bought yesterday by Mr, George W. Huston, of the Pan Handle yards. Two1 Berkshire sows, "Michigan" and Exquisite" took tbe red ribbons and the premium badges hang in rows along the pens.

TODD . shows GO head of Cnester Whites, that Include among them some as perfect hogs as were ever bred. It is useless to resist the beauty and excellence ol these clear white hogs, of great size and matchless form. The sow "Betty" has a family of ten pig, which are uniform iu size and beauty. The large and fine breeding sow "llosa" weighs S0Ö and bred 17 pigs at a litter. Tbe prize boar 'Ginger 7 is the very best in style, and pro ven to ie the best as a stock getter.

AtC o'clock yesterday morning, after sleepless night on the part oi allf xcept tl e nnocent child, whowe waking was but to 1 o tor an eternal sleep, Mr. Perkins left ihtDouse, leaving Mr. Clare there. It see.n protable that the agreement arrived at wa. tha. Mrs. Perkins should Ipave her husb.rd nJ 0 to her friends in the country, b.it tins s not known irom the i-omessicn of either party, but is deduced from i-tri-r statements. At 4 oMot-k in the liiorninrr. Mrs. Perkins, v.itb a razor, attempted tU lila ol her child. b:t was frustrated perl by Mr. Clare. Mr. Perkins was assured by tiiat she would riot repeat the a; tempt and let:, ::3 before st.ved. It is not known when Cars w-nt away, bnt it must have been verv soc u alter tbe dpartnre of l'orkin. Xlrs. l'erkin sent away the oiorM servant girl, and :oM her they would bther know when they wantcvl her. This seems to have lxn in ju--corjaneo with arrangements tbat Mrs, Perk ins i-hould leave the house. Whtn tL Louse was emptied of all but Mrs. Perkl: and her child, tbe horrid work, which wh m-t to bave b en all tbe time tho settled purpow In ber mind, began. Tho woman locked I'm tloors, then wont to her bfld-room, wbieh is i r, l;e iront room on tno second lloor. Here 3L ? closed the windows and the doer. and dressed ner child for tlsacrifice In pure white, putting on its be-c clothes. She then swallowed the -ex tents oi two small bottles of morphine, aruii turned on the gas trom two burners. ai.bad no weapon at band, but with fatal ingenuity she found means to carry ont her purpose. On the mantel stood a little Freoc clock, covered with a thin glass case. Jot above it hung a frame inclosing ahanisoincly colored chromo of across wreathed -with "an illuminated legend lenesth ft. . "Cling to Jesus." Her eyes rested not, p rL:ips, on the cross but on the thin gl - -case. Seizing it. site dashed it on the strtf Dearth, shattering it to pieces. Sbe i-ic".pi up one, apieeeabouc two inches by tfcre, . and taking tho babe into the corner ol the room, in frontot the wasbstsnd, she knGit down, neixl the child's head w ith her ':t -hand, held it back s as to turn tb3 ter. .-. throat bare bciore the keen glas. WHEKE WAS HER MOTHER'S 11 KART in all this preparation? Then tho child, vv ii understanding the pnrpose, cried cut appealingly, "Oh! mamma, mamma, do f t kill hip." Where, then, was her mother's heart? What pow6rtul motive conuere-il even tbe instinct of maternal love, or jh rverted it, is a question that can no: answered. But it is true, tbat there aloru,. in spite of the pitiful pleadings of bor child., sbo drew tbe glass across its throat, wbiie the warm blood gushed out in ber hand, at'.i tho lat words oi'hor babe, "mamma, mamma," fell in vain on her cars. Then applying tho glass to her own throat, she cut rcu gashes as . her unsteady hand ce.'..M make, and. folding her cb 1.1 to ber bosom, lay down with the hope that they might die togothcr For tw. hours, from half past until halt-past P.tl e v lay thus. The child died almost instant! but tbe mother lived. She felt herselfgrcwinz weak and cold, and thinking it a premonition of approaching death, she arcs?, with her dead babe in her arms, stagnere! to the led and laid down. Here she lay ted suffered all the time, conscious, until shwas fonndat half-past 2 o'clock. Dr. L. A, James, w ho was toon called to see ner, examined her wound and found n lour-irch gafeii across her tbro.it, and told ber st.t would recover. She at once expressed her regret. She told him without hesitation ths.t sbo hat! killed her child. Ltst night, wten tho bi'iues: was held, and her stateircct. was taken, she exhibited a uiird as clear, and natural as any one conld. Sbe talked with gn at pain, but was quite clear and direct iu her answers. She made it plain that her intention wast kill herself, and thatshe did not want hr child to bo left. tbe had expressed thh feelins to others bcJcre the murder. Sho said she never wanted : e r child to know the suilerimfa she bad experienced. Tee coroner was notified irame(ilately, but ho was not in tbe citv until o'ciock.
