Richmond, Va., Jan. 14. Thomas Jadyn Cluvcrias, convicted of the murder of FanHie Lillian Madison, was hanged in the city jail to-day. As early as 9 a. m. people began lo trather in the vioinitv. and bv noon everv approach to the jail was packed with human The prisoner passed a sleepless night, most f the time bein? spent with Mr. Beverly Cninip, one of LTs counsel, who ha3 done -every th ing to save or extend his life, and 'Who remained with him till 2 a. m., and irom that hour until ü o'clock he was en--srsRed in prayer and at intervals sinin liymns. From 6 o'clock until 0 he slept soundly, and then rose and ate breakfast of ienderloin beefsteak, rnmhrooms and es? omelet. During the morning hours there "was much speculation as to whether the Governor would further reprieve, and that rjmestion was not finally settled until some lite after noon, when Air. Cromp, who had JeD to see the Governor, returned to the Jail and announced that the executive power ,frould not be interposed. During the forenoon Captain Frank W. Cmnningham, Richmond's sweetäst tenor Singer, who had visited the prisoner on several occasions and sung numerous hymns in the cell, aain called to see Cluveriui ani was preeted pleasantly by him. A, his rarest Captain Canniugham sans the hymn, üow Firma Foundation, Ye taints of the Xord." When he had finished Captain Cunningham turned to CIuvcriu3 and asked, Do ycu still say that you are innocent?" to whicn the prisoner replied, "I am innocent." Said Optain ''unningham: "Do you believe iu our Lord and Savior Jesu3 Christ, .And believing in h m yon assert that you are innocent, knowing tha: you have 0t to answer before Go i-.'" Again Cluverius said: "I can say that I tan iiihncent."

At two minutes to 1 the death profession was fomed, ronsiatios of Sergeant JBaiith. two deputies, Dr. Hatcher and the prisoner, the lat'.er having his hands tied in Iron t of his body, mi from neck to ankles enveloped in an old-fashioned ladies' waterproof cloak. From the cell the march progressed alan the corridor and down two ights of stairs to the lower court of tia j ail, sad then into th y.rd fronting the cells of the white prisoner?, forty policemen br.az on duty to keepback the crowd. The prisoner, though thin and pale, moved with stea-iy steps to the scaffold, which he ascended in the same quiet manner and stood on the trap, fc'ergeant Smith then real the death -warrant, or copy cf the judgment of the court, which the prisoner listened to with bowed bead and apparent close attention. "When the sergeant had concluded he asked the doomed man if ht- had anything to say, aad Cluverius replied, '"No, sir; nothing at all," bis voice bein scarcely audible. Dr. Hatcher then knelt and offered prayer; aid when he had finished he turned to tb.3 pri5onr, who said a few words inalow;tone, and Dr. Hatcher turning to the crowd in the yard said: "I am requested by the prisoner to mtter one word for him, and that is that in this moment of death ho carries to the . jave no feeling of Ill-will toward any man pn earth." Dr. Hatcher then left the scafibld. Kalsing both hands as be went out, he said that the prisoner had asserted his innocence to the tt inst hsf.ir lMrinc hitrpll Whpn T)r. Hatcher had gone Deputy Sergeant Allen tied the prisoner' knees tightly together, put the rope around his reck and adjusted tae black hood. Everything being ready, Cenreap.t Smith gave the signal, and at 1 :0i O'clock TUE TRAF WAS fFKCJf'l. . There was a tudden swish, followed by the tlaag of thefa'ling trap door, and the next isstant the body of Cluverius was at the fnd of the rope, over ten feet.btlow where ha tad been standing. The rope, which w3 saade of parti-colored silk, stretched over a loot, and the toes of the hanged man nearly lauched the brick pavement beneath. A jainute of quiet, and then there was conjdderable struggling, lasting several minutes, together with a heavy, stebtorious breathing, indicating that death was being produced by strangulation. Afcer sixteen minutes the physicians pronounced the body dead, and twenty minutes after the trap was sprung it was taken down and placed in a piain wooden coffin and turned over to the undertaker to be prepared for burial at his former iiorr.e in King and Queens County. 'one of Cluverius' relatives were with him i-day. Iiis brother, who had been 3) de voted to him since h:s arrest, twenty-two months ago, parted with him yesterday. His father aid mother, owing to feeble health, did not come to the city to bid fare well to the doomed man. HI6T0RT OF THE CRIME. On the morning of ilarch 11, 1335, L. Rose, keeper of the old city reservoir in the western part of the city, iu making his usual rounds of inspection discovered the body of a "wonan in the. reservoir, lie at once notified tae Coroner, who had the body taken from the water. It proved to be that of a good looking woman of about twenty-two years. "IThe Coroner, after viewing the remains, pronounced it a case of suicide, and had the body removed to the city alms-housa for identification. Mr. Peter J. Burton, a reporter of the Richmond Dispatch, sabseavemiy went to tue reservoir and then to lie morgue, and his investigation resulted ia the formulation of a murder theory upon a chain of clrcustantial evidence which con Tinced many minds. A further examination of the body disclosed the fact that the jaung woman was far advanced in pregnancy. During two days many people saw the body, and it was hnally recognized by two young ladies (the Misses Danstan) as a friend of theirs, Miss Fannie Lillian Madison, of Xing and Queens County, but had for some viae past been teaching school In liath County. The Coroner's inquest resulted In a verdict of probable murder. Detectives and police were sst to work, and In a short liaie brought to light circumstances that added strength to the murder theory. A "woman who had rezistered at the American Hotel on March 13, under the name of Miss -F. L. Morton, was missinz from the hotel. and her disappearance and the finding of the body about the same time furnished the fatal clew, but for which the murderer night have never been known. While the calJed "Miss Morton" was at the hotel she wrote and received eeveral notes, but one directed by her was never delivered, and after ber departure from the hotel it was torn to pieces and cast into the waste-basket The acraps of this note and the envelope were anbsenuently brought to light, and when pasted together it aerved as one of the principal links in the chaia which con victed tha murderer, it being addressed to T. J. Cluverius. Fur$&9r inquiry developed the fact that

, T-1 .1 the arrest of Cluverius, who was known to have been in Richmond on March 13. He was found at the residence of bis aunt, Mrs. DuBst&il, in King and Qaeens County, and brought to this city. He waived preliminary examination and was sent to the Grand Jury of the Hustings Court. lie was indicted ia April for murder, and his trial began at the May term of the court and continued for twenty-eight days. Oiring to the difficulty of obtaining competent jurors in Richmond it was found necessary to draft talesmen from Alexandria, and a jury was finally impanelled, with seven citizens of Richmond and five of Alexandria composing it. The prisoner pleaded not guilty and the trial proceeded. Nearly 20 witnesses were examined, and step by step the evidence fixed upon the prisoner the brand of seducer and murderer; and when the able counsel on both sides had concluded their efforts for and against the accuped the jury, after but a few minutes' consideration, rendered a verdict of murder in the first degree. The prisoner throughout the trial was cool and undaunted, and his Eelf-posp?sion was a fruitful theme of comment. His counsel excepted at every possible point in the evidence and asked for a new trial.which was refused, and Cluverius was sentenced to be hanged on November 20, 1S55. An appeal was then taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, which, however, availed the prisoner nothing except that it stayed the execution for over a year, as the court with but one dissenting Toice affirmed the judgment of tha lower court. He was resentenced to be hange 1 on December 10, 1SSO. The last resort the Chief Executive wasfina'ly applied to for pardon oi commutation of sentence to imprisonment for life, but the Governor, after giving the case the most considerate attention, could find no reason for interfering withthejuiandate of the court. 11. however, respited the condemned man until to-day. Died Without a Struggle. Fort Smith, Ark., Jan. 11. James Limb, Albert Odell and John T. Echols (white) and John Stephens (co'ored) were hanged in the I'nited States court-vard here to-day for murder committed in the Indian Territory. Lamb and Odell kille.l IMffard Toilard. whose wife wasLtmb's mi.stre33. They tried to drive him an George Iirassfield Tay from home in order to take their wives. Erassfield left, and Olell married Mrs. Eraisfield, but Pollard remained, and Limb and. Odell and the two women formed a conspiracy to murder him. His wife sent him to a villa?3 near their home in the Chickasaw Ntion December 27, lS-5, and Lamb and Odell waylaid and killed him in the road. Echols killed John Fattenridge, with whom he had had a diili;alty about a horie trade on February 1, 1SSU. Pattenridge had not given him all the property traded for, and Lchols tmding him in the woods hauling log', attempted to take the horee he trad-d. A quarrel followed, and hchol3 8liot Fattenridgs tffica with a NVinchesterritle, inflicting wounds from which death ensued ten days later. John Stephens killed severs! rersons, bui was only on victed of the murder of Dr. Joseph T. Files, n white man. in the C.ieroeee Nation, on the 29th of last May. Dr. Piles had Stephens arrested far stealing his cow, and Stephens went to the doctor's house at nunt and beat out his brains with aa axe, and then crushed his wife's sku'l and tied. lie next went to the house of a woman named Keer, and, af .er killicg her aid her little boy, roobed the hoaje and e?capod. There were no living witnesses to his crimes, and he was convicted on circumstantial evi dence alone. Tne condemned niea had nothing to say on the gallowj concerning their crimes. Lamb advised everybody to keep out of the Indian Territory and away from bad cotrpany. OJell, Stephen? and Echols joioed the Catholic Church, and were attended by Father Smythe on the gallows. Lamb loined the Methodist Church, and was attended by Dr. Cateo. The trap was sprang t l:3o o clock, and all died without a strug gle. SPIES' PROSPECTIVE BRIDE. She Id Math Admired for II er Deanty and Accomplishments PiTTSBrito, Jan. 10. Miss Nina Clarke Vanzandt, of Chicago, who is soon to be married to August Spies, the condemned Anarchist, is well known to many Pittsburg people, haviDg formerly visited here. She is a granddaughter of II. D. Clarke, who was one of the most promineat lawyers in this section, and lived in Leaver. Her mother's sister is still living here. She married John Arthur, who dkd tome years ago. .He was a wealthy manufacturer, and left a large fortune in real estate and personal property, which went to his widow. She resides in Oakland, a id her father, "William B. Clarke, residei with her. She has no children. Miss Vanzaait has r.een regarded as her heiress and visited her frtquently. Sae was among the guests at the marriage of Miss Walker, the sister-in-law of Mr. George Westinghouse, and was very much admired because of her beauty and accomplishments. Mr. Yanzandt, the father of the young lady, is connected with the well-known Moorehead family of this city, being, it is said, a nephew of the late General James K. Moorehead, after whom he was named. It is reported that the marriage with Spies may divert the expected I'ittsburg inheritance of Mbs Yanzandt into other channels. Severely Iiepremanded. CiiK Aiio, Jan. 1C. A rpecial to the InterOcean from Springliild, I1L, says: The findings of the Court of Inquiry investigating the charges of embezzlement against Colonel W. V. Jacobs, of the Fir3t Regiment of Cavalry, Illinois National Guard, were made public yesterday. Governor Oglesby, asCom-mander-in-Chief of the militia, approves the findings and in a general order severely censures Colonel Jacob3, who is instructed to at once reimburse the regiment to the extent of $3,700. That sum is accounted for in the Colonel's record. It is declared by the court that no intent to embezzle was proven against Colonel Jacobs, but the evidence showed gross neglect and carelessness on his part. Colonel Jacob j is also found guilty oi Irreg ularity in combining ' ' -WU person the ofiices of president, beoio-ary and treasurer of the regiment's armory association, while at the same time acting as commanding of ficer and treasurer of the military organization. A heavy reprimand is extended to Colonel Jacobs for persisting in retaining these olllces for a year after he had been pub licly charged with financial direlection. The First Regiment of Cavalry is Chicago organization, and, with its Colonel, ia widely known. An Antopsj of tha ' Living ekeTetan" Rock la 3d, Jan. It. An autopsy was performed this afternoon upon the body of Isaac W. flprague, known as the "living skeleton." Ihe weight of the body was forty pounds. The result of the autopsy was: Cause of death, pneumonia; cause of singular skeleton-like appearance, muscular atrophy. The other organs were In a healthy condition. There was a lateral curvature of the spine, which was very marked. The cause cf the disease of the muscles is supposed to have been in the spine, portions of which were taken to Harvard college for microscopical analysis. The Widow's Blortjcagea.

FAIR PLAY FOR WOMEN.

The Superiority of tha Female Librarians Mho Dave Had Charge or the State' Literature. Written for the Sentlnel.1 Every time the Legislature meets there are found on hand among its self-appointed advisers a number of patriots who are lamenting the damage done to the State by having the fctate library in charge or a woman. They make cutting remarks about its beins "a sinecure for some woman" or "a pension for a female relative of some politician." They roll up their eyes and mournfully hope for the day when the State will be raised to prosperity by putting a man in this office. The most remarkable characteristic of the.se high minded people is their lofty contempt for facts. It has never been my fortune to meet one of them who had any acquaintance with the library or its history, or who had any intelligent idea of its needs. Still, they have fo persistently repeated their misrepresentations, and so circulated their visionary arguments, that many people, who might Daturally have been expected to have more sense, have been convinced. The re spective merits of men and women as State Librarians is not a matter of pure speculation. Both have been tried, and both have made their records; and women can well afford to iDvite comparison of the two. I will point out a few matters of contrast be tween the two for the beneht of some of the highly-cultivated persons who think that all women are inferior to the average man. I will not dwell on the fact that the library has been kept clean enough to satisfy a person of decency by all of the women Librarians, which can not be truthfully sail of it under several of the men. I will psss at once to literary considerations; and first let me call your attention to the following article which appeared nearly five years ao in one of the foremost literary periodicals of the United States: To the Editor of the Kation: ographies, your note of last week contributes certainly a curious instance toward the ma terial for such a work. Bat I beg that the future compiler of that work may not over look the "Catalogue of the Indiana State Library for 1SÖ9," which has long been my wonder and admiration. Sj far is it from attempting the complexity of the catalojae raisontic that it3 rigorous alphabeticism sets down "A Manchester Strike" between Agriculture" and "American." It invites ua to such tour de force as the " Antobiosraphv of Sir Simonds D'Ewes, by Haiti well," and the Autobiography of Sir wlter Scott, by Bart." "Bank's History of the Topes" appesrs under the letter B. Strong in the his torical department, it o.lersa choice between the "Lifö of John Tvle. by Harpsr k Brother.'," "MVmoirs of JIoms Henderson, by the JewLh Philosoph era," "Memoirs and Correspondence of Yiscount Casllereach, by tne luarquis or Londonderry, and "Memoirs of Benvecnto, by Gellini." In fiction you may lind "Tales of my Lanlord, by Cieishbotham," and "The Pilo, by the Auditor of The rioneerä;" while if your passion for plural authorship is otherwise unappeasable if laumont and Fletcher or Krck-mann-Chatrian teem to you too feeble a combination of talents you may well be captivated by the title "Small Arms, by tte united Stages Army." The State cf Indiana has undoubtedly learned a good many things since 185:); but, whoever its present Librarian may be, it is haidly probable that her highest flight in bibliography has surpassed the catalogue rom which 1 have quoted. l. is. Rochester, Feb. 0,12. (The Ration, Feb. IG. 1SS2 vol. 31. p. 1 12.) Scorching a3 this criticism is, it might have been more severe. Its writer Lad no opportunity to know that what he mentions as "Bank s History of the l opes was in fact the celebrated work of Ranke. Iseitncr did he have opportunity to CDrapare the titles of loreipn works with the book3 Irom which they were supposed to be taken, or he would have found a series of blunders equal to the most charming features of "English as She is Spoke." The Librarian who published this catalogue, which re3ects so much credit on the State, was a man Mr. James R. Bryant. It is true, as "T. B." remarks, that Indiana has "learned a good many things since 1S3D," but its progress in this department of learn ing was not very perceptible while men were Librarians. In proof of this it will be necessary only to examine the last two catalogues published. One of them was published in 18i;i. in it a number of the errors of l1")'. did not appear, owing, prob ably, to a condensation of titles which was made; bet it oilered to the bibliopti.e such treasures as "Kendall s Sinte Fee Expedition." "The Marble Fawn," "Noctes, Ambrosiana," "Apocraphal NewTts'amcnt," and a number of similar curioaities. It was especially rich in French books. Among the more noteworthy are "Adventures de Telemague," "Animation" (a work on irrigatiou), "Dictionarie des Raes de Paris" and Essa Sur le Calorique." Histories appear under the names "Histoire," "Histoirie, or "liistoaire," thus leaving a privilege of selection to the reader. The greatest attraction in this list is a monograph on the potato, which appears 83 "Msm de Grapbie La Pomme de Terre." There also appears, under the same head of "French Works." the title "Ciblionum Sacronum," which the catalogue prudently informs us, in brackets, is Latin. This addition to our literature was issued by Mr. M. G. McLain. In 1872 the State was blessed with another catalogue, in which most of the eccentricities of genius that made its immediate predecessor attractive were carefully reproduced. The French titles are evidently reprinted direct from the catalogU8 of as they retain the same errors, even to errors of tyjiograpby. The "Biblionum Sacronum," the Mouo de Graphie La Pomme de Terre," the "Histoire de Universelle," and all the remainder of that goodly gathering, still wave, without a stripe effaced or a Btar blotted out. The Librarian has enriched the "French Works" department, however, by adding to it r. "Codigo Civil Dd La Rspublica" (the Spani&h code of Argentine Republic) and a "Curso de Maticas" (a Spanish course in mathematics, presumably). This valuable list of books, also, was prepared by a man Mr. James De Sanno. There is, unfortunately, no printed catalogue for which a woman can claim credit, as none has ever been provided for by the Legislature. Women haven't sense enough to make catalogues. A "trained man" is needed for such work. Perhaps the statement might be ventured that no living woman, a-id very few dead ones, could have eclipsed these phenomenal productions. There are many persons living in Indianapolis who remember the reforms instituted by Mrs. Oren, the first woman who served as Librarian, not only in the library proper, but in the entire State buildine, of which the Librarian has been for many years the legal custodian. The whole building was cleaned and disinfected; chimneys, ventilators and Hues, which had became stopped up, were opened and cleared ; the grimy walls were papered; the steps and pavements of the porches were repaired to an extent which would permit one to walk over them without becoming sea-sick; the dilapidated soft-coal stoves were replaced by base-burners; water-pipes were put in; the regimental flags were carefully dusted and bound up; the legislative papers which had not yet been eaten by mice were taken from the musty cupboards and packed in tin boxes. In the library th books were examined volume by volume, and it was ascertained that 3everal hundred listed in the catalogue of 1372 were nr,t in the library. The old records were searched, and a number of these missing volumes were recovered from people who had borrowed them under the old law and never returned them. The duplicates, which had been scattered haphazard through the shelves, ai.r tnrlfil nut an d rdaced in a separate room ; erchangea were made with other li braries by which the collection was largely increased and many broken sets were filled. The librarr was rearranged on the plan of tbe Boston Public Library, in departments by Bubjecta. and alphabetically by authors' names. Labels were pasieu ou tue uooas,

designating their places in the shelves ani rar pes. In the purchase of books, which has been the best test of any Librarian's merit, Mrs. Oren displayed the aoundest judgment. An examination of her list of purchases will show this, and will show the truth of her statement that "in the purchase of books a careful eye has been had to tbe needs of the laboring people, who can not afford to purchase costly reference books." Of all the men who have served as Librarian John B. Dillen ranks easily first, but Mrs. Oren's work was more valuable to the library than John B. Dillon's. Tbe current report of the'present Librarian shows work inferior to no preceding Librarian, excepting, possibly, Mrs. Oren. In the last two years the funds available for new books and bindinc amounted to $C92. Tne lists of additions to tbe library enver more than thirty-two piges of print. Of course, most of the additions were secured by donation and exchange, but it takes time and labor to get donations and exchanges. The actual value of books purchased and paid for, by dealers' lists, is over $1,000. The result was attained by patience and judgment in tLe expenditure of the pittance intrusted to her. With a special appropriation of $75 the State's collection of Indiana State; laws has been com pletfd and uniformly bound. The collection of UnitedStates documents has been properly arranged, and its deficiencies have been supplied until it is one of the best in the world it is superior to the collectiom in the House and Senate libraries in Washington. Let me suggest that any person who questions any statement made above shall sazisfy himself by iuveMigation. The cjpy of the Nat on quoted from may be obtained at the ra;linp-roo:n of the City Library. Th9 catalogues and reports mentioned may be seen at the State library. Tne library is thera to speak fcr itself. The historical facts a3 to tbe conduct of the library in past years may be loarnfd from almost any one" who hai watched it durirg the last two desaies. I ch aller ge any one to make the investigttion arid tl t n sav that the women L'brariaus have nctbfen belter ollicials than the men. Waat the library needs is more money for book and binding, and that it should fave. Every project fcr a change of the library system which involves a return to male Librarians makes an increased expense tor thecareof the library; the amount to be expended for books is not so material to these reformers. For example, a bill introduced iu tbe Sanate three days ago makes the Librarian's salary f 1,S00 and gives him four assistants at i)0 each a total for care of the library of $ 1,2'X). The present provision .for Librarian and assistant is tl,J.v0. TLe plan propssed by this bill is to put the library ia charge of the State Board of Education, and means a male Librarian. It may possibly occur to our legislators that it would be wiser to spend that extra $2.250 for books, rather than oiler it as an inducement to some gentleman and his four assistants to stand guard over our omewhat dilapidated collection of literature. Then, again, it may not; for it is heresy ia America to expect a man to do a woman's work for the same money. Tasned With a Whoop. CmcAno, Jan. 1G. In tbe national convention of journeymen bakers yesterday a resolution condemning the verdict in the Anarchist trial was passed with a whoop. A delepate from New York objected to the election of the eicht condemned men to honorary membership in the Chicago branch. The ground of tLe objection was that none of the tight were bakers. The convention, however, sustained the election. Subsequently the convention was addressed by Albert Cuillin, editor of the Arbeiterzeitung, who, amid great applause, charged tha responsibility of the Ilaymarket riot to the police. "If the bomb had not been thrown," shouted Curllin, "Spies, Fielden and Tarson3 would have died there, for the police came there to kill them." When the cheering subsided he added: "The occurrence of May 4. IS ', may occur again May 4, LS.7, in St. Louh, Philadelphia, Cincinnati or New York."

Railway Deal. New York, Jan. 10. The Mail and Ex press says of tbe deal between the Richmond and West Point Terminal Company aid the Last lennessee, Mrgtnia and Georgia lUUrond Company: "This purchase will aid 1.41iJ miles to the 2.202 already ownel by the Terminal Company, and give it a commanding position in the Sauth one that is practically impregnable. It i3 curious to note that all this has been done by the purchase f stock. The East Tennessee controls the Memphis and Charleston by stock ownership. The Terminal controls the Danville by stock ownership, and the latter controls the lir es in its sjstcm by lease. The Norfolk ar.d Western has been left out, but it is not lilely to suffer much on that aconnt, ani there is no reason to suppose that the anirable relations now existing between that line and the Last Tennessee wul be disturbs! in the least." Will Give I'lace to a Republican. The second term ot Hon. W. R. Myers as Secreiaryof State will end to-dav, ani bis republican successor. Mr. Charles F. Griffin, of Lake Couuty, will take charge of the office to-morrow. Captain Meyer has ma is a popnlar official and the elliciency with which tne duties or the department have been performed is evidenced by the admirable condition in which he leave3 the records The forthcoming report of the Secrctsry (now in the hands cf the printer) will form one of the most valuable documents e.rer issue! by the State. The Secretary's assistants, Mr. Mvron D. King and Mis Mary Wort h, Captain Myers' niece, by uniform courtesy and close application to business, enhanced the popularity of ths Administration and are entitled to much credit for the success attained. Mr. Kin? will re main in tbe office temporarily as chief deputy. Why They Strack. Jersey Citv, Jan. 10 A committee of the Lorillard strikers visited the factory yesterday and informed the men in the engineer's department that they phould draw such fires as would be required, and that tha men who were needr d to attend the fires should stay at work. The men at the stables were informed that they would not be moleseJ in removing gooda in the factory that were ready for shi pment. These two departments were the only ones in operation today. It is cow definitely ascertained that the actual grievance the strikers have against the company is the reduction that was commenced in the number of employes. They claim that this virtually increased their labor and rednced their wages. A Prehistoric Stone Image. Washikgto, Jan. 10. The Secretary of the Navy has received a telegram from Commander B. F. Day announcing the arrival of the Mohican at Valparaiso, and stating that he was successful in securing a prehistoric stone imzge from Ea?terlsland for the Smithsonian Institution. A German ve3sel secured one of these images a couple of years ago. The Smithsonian authorities were desirous of obtaining one, and requested the Secretary of the Navy to direct a naval vessel to make tbe effort in their behalf when convenient. The commander of the Mohican was ordered a year ago to stop at Easter Island and to procure one if possible. Tried to Kill Ills Wife. Special to the entlneL Albion, Ind., Jan. 15. John Tobin.of this county, while in a drunken fit yesterday, rushed at his wife with a knife, but concluded to knock her down instead. Tue woman was rendered insensible by the blow. Tobin then carried her body to the Baltimore and Obio Railroad track, a few rods distant, whre he left the woman to be run over by tbe fast express about due. Mrs. Tobin recovered consciousness and managed to crawl into town, where Bhe told her story. Tobin was promptly arrested and lodged in jaiL There is great excitement over the affair.

BLEEDING HEART YARD.

Destruction ef a Londoa Landmark Made Famous by Diekens. Chambers' JoarnaLl With the demolition of Bleeding Heart Yard, many a pilgrim to London will have one goal the less. But it has been too graphically pictured in "Little Dornt" ever to be forgotten. Of all Dickens' many sketches of the London slums, this is one of the best, although it requires Imaginative powers now to lecognize here any "relish of ancient greatness." The "mighty stacks cf chimneyp," now much the worse for wear, are still here, and still "give tbe Yard a character." But the poor people who had a "family sentimental feeling" about tbe Yard have nearly all flitted, like rats from a sinking ship. Indeed, piles of massive warehouses, which have sprung up on all sides, have already almost ewamped their habitations; and any one seeing them in the gray gloaming of a wet winter afternoon will have some difficulty in devising pleas for their preservation. The Yardjis altogether dreary and unlovely, now that it is deserted save far a couple of workshops, which, possibly, have replaced the factory of Daniel Doyce. A few carriers' carts and costers' barrows, too, seem to hive been left here by accident. But for the most part the picture is one of dilapidated desolation. The three storied brown-brick houses, with their low-pitched, red-tiled roofs, that run down the southern side, seem to have been the scene of an explosion or a conflagration; or, possibly, they may have been beaiesed by an army of crchins. Anyhow, not a pane of glass remains in the windows, whicrt were probably cut through the wall at odd times, when wanted, and, but for a tattered fringe which still decorates the frames, they might never have been glazed. Some of tae cirttheds and stables which form the ground floor to use an appellation that properly belongs to suburban villas have been converted into shops, but bear no signs of ever havine dorea thriving trade, and it is ewy to believe tbat the Yard, "though as willing a yard as any in Britain," was never "the better for any demand for labcr." For Bleeding Heart Yard no very heroic etymology can be claimed. Dickens, it is to be feared drew largely on his imagination, which he doubtless found served him in better stead than any number of old folios, for his amusing derivations. Except in)"Littl3 Dorrit," there seems to be but scanty authority for tbe tradition that this was tbe scete of murder. It is, however, beyond dispute that Ely place and the adjacent streets were occupied by the lnxurious town palace Of the bishops of Ely. Within the walls were included twenty acres of ground. This was, about the year 1577, sold to Christopher Hatton by the Bishop of Ely, who was, however, only made to carry out the contract by Elizabeth's memorable threat that otherwise she would unfrock him. It was here that the famous Chancellor died in 15J1. But his house and garden do not seem to have been demolished until the middle of the seventeenth century, for Evelyn, writing in J ;!, tells us how he went to see "the foundations now laying for a long strt et and buildings In Hatton Garden, designed for a little town, lately an ample garden." Of a certain Lady Hatton, probably the wife of Sir Christopher s great-nephew, it is gravely recorded that she had a compact with the eil one, and that on the night wben this came to an end tbat personage, in the guise of a cavalier, attended certain festivities which were being held at Hatton place, and, having lure I her into the garden, tore her in piece her "bleeding heart" being afterward found. But if this weird lege ud had even so solid a foundation as a murder, it is probable that soiue rrcoid of it would have survived. "Little Dorritt" is alj the authority for th9 story of tbe yonng lady who was so closely imprisoned in her chamber here by her cruel fathe for refusing to marry the suitor he had chosen for her. The legend related how the young lady used to be seen up at her winüow.bthiüd tbe bsrs, murmuring a love lorn sorg, of which the burden wa?, "Bleeding heart, bleeding heart, bleeding away," until si e died. It will be remembered that, although the Yard was divided in opinion, this story carried the dsy by a great majority, notwithstandinc: that it was supposed to have originated with "a tambour-worker, a spinster and romantic," living In the Yard. It is scarcely necessary to say the point ha3 received the attention of the seekers after miscellaneous knowledce, and a number of alternative derivations have been suggested. One learned s.ntiquary, for instance, reminds us tbat 4 bleeding Leart" is the name of the red wiLllower In certain pirts of England, but omits to point out the connection. The most plausible is the (suggestion that the court may have taken its rame from a hostel known as the ' Bleeding Hart," and it is well known that sign-painters frequently prove shaky in their orthography. Thus, he records that in Warwickshire'an inn known as the "White Hart" was, some year3 since, adorned with a signboard representing a human heart, or, at lea?t, an see of hearts. Then, some people ciin to the belief that th sign of the Bleeding Heart dates from pre-Reformation times, and is emblematical of the five sorrowful mysteries of the rosary. We must leave it to others to reconcile these conflicting theories. But for its associations with the fortunes of "Little Dorrit," the bare existence of the court would certainly have remained iu oblivion, and its demolition would have excited no unusual recret. But there are those for whom the Yard has been associated with the history of a t-et of very real personages. Hither many folk have gone in search of "the domicile of Fiornish, pla3tertr," a-id have sought to identify "the parlor" in which the FJornish fam.lv lived, and which was pointed out to callers by "the pointed hand, on the forefinger of which the artist had depicted a ring, and a most elaborate nail of tbe genteclest form." Here, to they have probably pictured for themselvej the patriarch, "floating serenely through the Yard in the foreuoon," with the express purpose of srotUnp trustfalness in his Ehinine bamp- .. id eun lock?, to be eucceedfd a few hours later by Paacks, tbst prince of rent collectors, who, 'perspiring and puftiing and darting about in eccentric directions, and becoming hotter and dingier every moment, lashed the tide of the Yard into the most agitated and turbid state." They may have further looked for the small grocery and general dealer's f-hop "at the crack end of the Yard," where Mrs. Flornlsh was established by Mr. Dorrit; and for "Happy Cottage," that most wonderful of interiors. And thy may have wondered whereabouts was the spot where Pancks tackled the patriarch, snipped all short the sacred lecks and cut down the broadbrimmed hat to a stew-pin, thereby converting the venerable Casby, "that first-rate humbug of a thousand guns," into "a oarepolled, goggle-eyed phantom.

CATARRH IN

CatArrh is Inflammation of tbe mucous membrane, attended with increased secretion. Thus, catarrh may affect the head, throat, stomach, bowels or any part of the body where the mucous membrane la found. But catarrh ot the head la by far the most comraom, coming on so gradually that often its presence is not inspected till It has obtained a firm hold on Its victim. It is caused by a cold or a succession of colds, combined with Impure Blood. When firmly established the disease Is exceed ingly disagreeable, causing flow from the nose, dryness of the throat, headache, loss of appetite, roaring and buzzing noises In the ear, etc. In Hood's Sarsaparilla may be found a prompt and permanent cure for catarrh. It purines and en riches the blood, soothes and rebuilds the dis eased membrane, and thus soon cures the disease. At the tame time it refreshes and tones the whole system. The remarkable success of this peculiar medicine entitles it to your confidence. Give Ilood's Sarsaparilla a trial.'

THE HEAD3

"I am happy to state that I used Hood's tiarsa parilla for catarrh, with which I have been troubled many years, and received great relief and benefit from it. The catarrh wu very dis agreeable, especially in the winter, causing conrtant discharge from my noae, ringing noises in my ears, and pains in the back of my head. The effort to clear my head in the morning by hawking ani spitting was painful. My grocer advised me to try Ilood's Sarsaparilla, and It gave me relief Immediately, wh&e In time I waa entirely cured.
