Woman's Eyes Burned Out.

Peter Tillbury, an Iron worker at Muncie, Ind., ■Who for years had pleaded with Mrs. Mary Torrey to marry him, but always meeting with refusal, threw carbolic acid in her face, burning her eyes and frightfully burning her neck, breast and arms. Tillbury went to the home of Kate Phinney, where Mrs. Torrey was visiting, to commit the revengeful act.
