TROTTING STOCK AT A DISCOUNT.
THE SALE AT MA JOE MOBTON'8 WOODLAWN
STOCK FABM NOT A SUCCESS?THE ALLEGED
STUMBLING BLOCK.
JiEWBUBG, N, Y., Sept. 24, 1879.
Major Thomas Morton, proprietor of tho Woodlawn
stock farm, Now Windsor, two and one-half
miles south of this city, offered at auction sale today
thirty-two head of trotting stook, consisting of
colts, mares and Allies aud brood mares, the get of
the bost trotting strains in tho country. Twenty
are by tho noted stallion Wilkins Micawber,
son of Itysdyk's Hauibletoniau, for whom
Mr. Morton refused $38,000 just before the horse
died. Tiie rest are the gut of Blackman's Messenger
Duroc, Itysdyk's llambletoniau, Wilkins,
a sou of Wilkins Micawber and the property of Mr.
Morton, Bathgate's Gray Norman, Itysdyk's Bellfounder,
Sayre's llurry Clay aud others. There were
about two hundred people present, including
such well known horsemen as Charles Backman
owner of Stony Ford; Jonathan Hawkins, who bred
Dexter, and others, but not a horse was sold. The
sale was advertised to take place under tlio rules oi
tho National Association of Trottiug Horse Breedurs,
and although the owner offered some of the auiraals
below the stated catalogue price not a bid was received.
It was the universal opinion that the rules compelling
the seller to set a stated price on the horses
was the snag against which the auctioneer ran in
' his efforts to sell, in that it kept buyers away. It
affords a good subject tor the members of the above
association to take iuto future consideration.
James H. Goldsmith, the driver of Alley, Powers,
Driver and other well known tost trotting horses,
assisted the Major in exhibiting his stock ou his
half-mile track. With this the spectators were
much pleased.

IERALD, THURSDAY. SEP
CREEDMOOR.
CX'-SE or THE THE EE DATS* TOO EN AM EST?
CAPTAIN JACKSON THE WINNER?MAGNIFICENT
SHOOTING.
The three clays' luug raugo tournament terminated
yesterday afternoon at Creedmoor. The number of
contestants, the well known skill of the most of
them, the length of time during which tho shooting
lasted and the amount of ammunition burned by
each uiarksiuau combine to make this contest
one of the most reinarkablo that has ever
been had iu this country. These circumstances
give the results an importance and signUloanco to
i riilemen using the small bore arm second to no
event that occurred since the last International
match. Of the thirty-three men who entered the
tournament nine withdrew and three did not como
to the butts. The remaining tweuty-oue who
went through the three days' arduous work
showed ut tho close of the battle unuus
taxable uvideneoi of fatigue. J. ho pliyaical
effort put forth in the firing of 135 rounds
of heavy ammunition had told considerably ou the
inon, wlio looked jaded, tired and sore. As they
said themselves, the recoil of a gun having from
100 to 115 grains of fine powder and carrying
550 grains of lead, which had to be
takou up 133 times on the shooters' shoulders,
was no child's play. Captain Jackson, who is the
winner, heads the list and carries off' the $100 prize
for the highest aggregate on the magnificent record of
633 out of u possible (>07. It is right to add that Mr.
Sumner, who made a total count of 030, would have
come out a point uhoad had ho made on his own
target a bull's eye which the marker credited lum
with making on another. This gentleman made
yesterday 74 out of 73 at 1,000 yards, and Messrs. Allen
and lirown accomplished a similar feat at SOU. The
weather was most trying to tho riflemen yesterday.
In the forenoon it was clear and warm, with a
gentle wind. In the middle of the day a storm canio
up, which dreiiohed the competitors, compelling
them to abandon the shooting points for an hour or
more, between half-past ono and throe
o'clock. This cliangu in tho atmosphoric
conditions required corresponding changes
in elevations and allowances for windago.
Then, again, after four the storm clouds cleared
: away and the sun sliouo out brightly as before.
! more changes for windago and elevations had to bo
made before the competitors could gut well down to
work for tho closing tug of war. The rival marksmen
say thai Lieutenant Colonel E. H. Sanford, who
had cliargo of the match In the capacity of executive
oltlcor, discharged his duties in a way that to.them
was ut once satisfactory and pleasant. Mrs. Jackson
was conspicuous throughout tho whole light for her
constancy at the firing point with her husband.

POLITICIANS,AT WOBK.
It was "politicians' day" at tlio exhibition of tho
Queens County Agricultural Society, iu Mlueola yostcrday,
and by uiuo o'clock the early risers from
Great Nock and Glen Head, on tlio uortli, and Far
ltockaway and Valley Stream, on tho south, were
hitching their horses iu the fair grounds, and iu a
very few minutes were looking for tho slato makers
iu order to discover tho uoccssary calibre of the delegation
required to achieve tho result thus forecast.
Men of all parties hobnobbed till noon, but before
overythlng had been concluded between Suffolk and
Queens counties as to their respective shares in tho
coutest for tho Assembly and Senatorial nominations,
tho little cloud tliut seemed no bigger than a
man's hand on tho horizon had ovnrspcad tho wliolo
sky, aud so rapidly that the 15,000 people did uot
think of shelter till they needed it. The premonitory
gust of wind tore through the grounds, nearly
carrying away tho large tout devoted to
the vogotablo exhibit, besides mixing pumpkins, tomatoes,
squasho.s and potatoes and otber vegetables

j instant the beauty and tlm wit of Queens and Suffolk,
] all bedraggled, were seeking shelter, helter-skelter,

I climbed over a partition, and they found themselves
in company with Philip Lawler's prizo sow and her
' litter of nine pigs, and it is yet a question of doubt
which wcro heard the furthest or excited the most
commotion, the squeals of tho pigs or tho shrieks
of Matilda Jane, as she made her fur from picturesque
escape lroui the pen. Carriages aud wagons wore
crowded in an instant, no regard for tho nonce being
paid to right of entry or ownership in the vehicle,

The main hall, the dining hall, the sheds, were
all tilled in the Hashing ol an eye, aud the grand
stand, with its covered seats, was tho contre of
refuge for hundreds more. Tho scene here was indescribable.
"Buy your tickots|at thejbox" from the
gatekeeper kept them all back, and in the drenching
rain ladies waited,; jostled and pushed about till
their escorts had purchased tiokots for the covctod
shelter, and then, to cap the climax, scarcely had
every space been occupied wbon the sluices of tho
licaveus wcro closod and the rain for a while entirely
ceased. The slow rain which continued during the
afternoon, however, made the scene ono of very unsatisfactory
enjoyment.

SIX DAYS ASLEEP.
A FARM LABORER REMAINS UNCONSCIOUS FOR
SEVERAL DATS AND THEN DIES?DID HE COMMIT
SUICIDE?
For seven clays put the residents of the farming
village of Cauarsiu, L. I., have been much exercised
over the condition of Bernard Musterman, a farui
laboror, who "went to sleep," as the vlllagors termed
his condition, on Wednesday, September 17, and remained
in that state until two o'clock
on Tuesday morning lust, when he expired.
The deceased, who was a native of Germany, was
about thirty years of age, and came to this country
two years ago. Ho said he run away from home to
avoid military duty. In doiug so he said he had
i sacrificed his claim to some money, as he could not
i go back again to collect it without malting himself
! liable to arrest. He obtained employment as a laborer
i cm thofurm of Mr. Uichurd L. paisley. Collector of
' Taxes of tbe town of E'lutlaud. He was rather morose
and distant in his manner and appeared to have ,
i some great trouble ou his mind. beveral times he
, was heard to say that he uid not wuut to live any

A reporter of the llEUALn cubed ou that physician
last evening, at his residence iu Wyckoll' avenue,
ami the Doctor, who stands high iu reputation
among his prolessioual breturen, luade a statement
ot his connection with the case, in which he said:?
"I went to sec the deceased, at the request of Mr.
I baisloy, on Friday attcrnoou, and found him lying
| in a comatose condition, and from the symptoms l
l judged that he was 'dm1.el the infi'tauco ot uu opiate.
All tho symptoms to me seemed to point to
opium poisoning. The pupil of the eye was contracted,
the pulse regular, the respiration regular
and the skin perspiring. My opinion is now, as it
was then, that the man took au overdose ot mor
puiuo iUi I.UU JIUll'UDW Wfc DUil/lUUi a. I
I administered antidotes to opium ana ordered beef

which latter, 1 understand, were not made.
When 1 touud him thero was evidence of his having
vomited some hours before I saw him.
Mr. Haislev, who acted very humanely toward
him, caused his removal to the house,
where he was carefully watched. On Saturday, when
1 again saw him, hia condition was unchanged, and
he had the same pulse, sixty, llo was able to use
his limbs slightly, nut was still unconscious. There
was a slight color in his cheek. On Suuduy morning,
when 1 again callud, 1 told Uiui to put his
tongue out, and he did so, which plainly showed
that ho was Hemi-couscious then. He put out his
tongue as readily as auy man could when 1 told
him. In the afternoon he again showed signs of Intelligence
by showing his tongue when 1 told him to
do so. lint that was tho only sign of recoguttiou
he gave, night or day, up to the time of
his death. On Monday night he began to show
slight symptoms of paralysis of the right side, I
thiuk the autidotes which 1 gave him tided him ovor
until Monday. l)r. Ingraham, of i'Tatbush, was then
called to see him by Mr. ilaisley, who said he meant
Imply to have a consultation. I then withdrew
from further attendance. The patient continued lu
a comatose state up to two o'clock this morning,

The return of Judgo Manning M. Enapp, of the

on the bench in Jersey City, has revived
the talk about the approaching trial of Mrs. Jennie
11. Smith and Covert D. Dennett, charged with
the murder of Mrs. Smith's husband. Police
Officer Richard Harrison Smith. After the con
viction of Mrs. Huitu and Jicnnott, in aiay

and it was thought that he would not return until
after the now trial of tlio accused couple. During
his absence his placo on the Hudson county bunch
was occupiod by Judge Alfred Heed, of tho First
Judicial district. A 11 mi alp reporter last evening
called upon District Attorney Alexander T. McGill
lor the purpose of learning wliothor Judge Knapp
had returned for tho purposo of presiding
at the now trial. Tho Prosecutor in
answer to tho reporter's question, said that, as yet,
no question had arisen its to what Judge would

reason why Judgo Knapp ajiould not try the case
i over again. lie could not state positively what timo
i tho case would bo called for trial, but thought probi

as to when they would waut a day fixed. Tin Prosecutor
says he has not consulted Attorney General

ST11ANGLING AN INFANT.
' |
Ann White, an unmarried woman, about thirtyfour
yearn or aire, wan removed yesterday troru tho
liath Cottage, at llatli, Hong Island, to tho Klnga
County Hospital, Flatbush, suffering from tho
effect* ot recent childbirth. She 1* charged
with Infanticide. The cuho wan brought
to the attontton of Justice Church, of Fort Hamilton,
who notified Coroner Slnnus. of Urooklyu. The latter
gentleman visited liath yesterday, where ho empanelled
a jury and opened the investigation touching
the cause of the death of the infant. It appeara
from the Coroner's inquiries that Ann VVhiio obtained
euiployiuidit at the cottage, of whirli Mr.
John Davis is proprietor, about four months ago.
On Tuesday evening a girl named Mary Doyle was
seated ou the steps in front of the main untraco to
the cottsgo, when Ann White opened the door anil
looked out. Mho held a bundle in her hand, and
Mary saw her put the latter In a dark closet at tho
rcur of tho hail. Subsequently tho huudln was
lound to contain the body of a new born Infant
which boro the strongest evtdor.ee of having
been strangled. Alary Flannagau, of New*
Utrecht, who wuh employed in the same house with
Ann Wliite, testified before the Jury that ou Tuesday
afternoon Ann told her that she had given birtli to a
child that morning and had put her lingers In Its
mouth and choked it; thou had tied her garter and
apron string round its neck. She said the father of
the child was Thomas O'Donnell, who formerly

LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY.
Rev. Dexter Lounsbury, of Siratfor^
Conn., Shot by His Wife.
THE COUPLE HERETOFORE HAUMOMOCS.
Insanity Ascribed as the Cause by thf
Coron.rs Jury.
Stuatfouu, Conn., Sept. 21, 1879.
This usually quiet town was much excited early
this morning by the report that the wife o( Uew
Dexter L. Louusbury, the pastor of Christ Uplseopol
Church, hud shot and instantly killed her husnand.
Such, indeed, proved to bo the case, ana the affair
has spread a gloom over tho community here and
in Bridgeport, where tho deceased was well
knowu. It scorns that for sixteen years
Mrs. Louusbury has suffored from diseases
and her mind at tlmoB has been deranged. She hM
not, however, previously showu any tendency to
violence, although suffering Acutely at intervals*
Without any apparent provocation she shot and
killed her husband as ho lay in bed at an
early hour this morning. As soon as she
tired tlie fatal shot sho arose and ran
up stairs with tho revolver in her hand
to the room of Mary Cummiugs, tho servant, and
awakened tho latter by pounding on tho door and
screaming. When the affrightod girl opened the
door Mrs. Louusbury said:?"I have killed
my husband; ooino and see." She then half
dragged Mary down stairs to the sleeping
room of tho rector and his wife. There
lay tho unfortunate clergyman dead and covered
With blood. The servant, accompanied by Anna, the
eleven-year-old daughter of the deceased, ran out el
once and gave the alarm. Dr. A. 8. Allen was sum*
mono 1. but his services were of no avail, as tho pas*
tor did not breatlio*after the shot was flrod.
Tho weapon used was a six-barrelled revolver,
which Mrs. Louusbury laid on tho bureau In her
room whou she re-outerod it with the servant girl.
When cxttiuiucd, later, it was found to contain
pVrt loaded cartridges and one - empty shell.
It carries a bullet >t "tbiity-two" calibre. When
Dr. Allen examined Mr. Louusbury's wound h?
found that the bullet had entered tho back of tho
lioad and had lodgod iu tho base of the braiu. Every*
thing as described went to Hhow that tho two
were lying together in bed, the deceased
on his right side; that she reached
undor the pillow, whoro she had put
the revolver, cocked it, and then placed tho muzzle
close to her husband's head and tired. The pillow
and tho night shirt of the deceased were blackened
with powder and covored with blood.
THE INQFEST.
The dotails of the tragedy wore fully elicited at
the inquest, which was held at eight o'clock this
morning, it wus summoned by Justioo of the
Peace Stephen D. Smith, who had as jurors Ooorgo
A. Talbot, foreman; Thomas A. Austin, Stiles Hard,
George N. Welles and Alfred liuruitt. The jury
met in one of the bedrooms of thw
rectory, an old fashioned New England residence,,
situated on Stratford's main street, almost directs
opposito the brown wooden church whose pulpiv
tlm deceased had filled for tho past year and a half.,
Tho room was plainly furnished. Tho body off
Mr. Lounsbnry lay on the bed in the sums
position in which it had been found by Dr. AllcoJ
Nothing had been disturbed oxcept tho bedclothes*
which had been pulled over the head of the corpse*
During the progress of the examination these
were turned down, giving a view of tho pallid
face of the dead man. No blood was then visible*
nor wero the features distorted, and but for the
pallor ono would think at first glanoo that the recto*
was sleeping, so natural was tho atitude of thai
body.
Mury Cnmmlngs, tho servant, was the first wit?J
noss called by Justice Umith. She testified that?
she had been a servant in the bouse for thaJ
past seven weeks; yesterday Mrs. Lounsbury]
was groatly excited, and had some converW
sation with witness about her illness; she told?
witness lsst evening that Mr. Lounsbnry wished he*
to have an operation performed to-day, and that ifi
rho (Mrs. Lounsbnry) refused to permit It her
would turn her out of tho house. This mat*
ter, tho witness said, seemed to worry Mrs.
Lounsbnry greatly. This morning about half
past five o'clock, as near as witness could
fix it, she heard a noise in the lower part of tha
house, and shortly after Mrs. Luuusbury cams
to her door and pounded on it and screamedjj
whou witness opened the door fthd discovers?
Mrs. Lounsbury in her night dress with a>
pistol iu her hand; she cried, "1 have killed)
my husband;" witness said, "Oh.no, yon hav*
not killed your husbaud;" "I have, I have," Mrs.J
Lounsbury answered, and alio forced witness do wig
stairs with her; when they got into the room Mrs*
Lounsbury. at the sight of her dead husband, began
to cry and wring her hands, showing signs of greaf
distress; the witness and Mrs. Louusbury's daughter
Annu at once started out to alarm tho neighbor^
and get a physician.
Tho witness was closely questioned as to the feel*
ing existing in tho household, and she replied
that, so far us she know, Mr. Lounsbury was an attentive
and loving husband; Mrs. Lounsbury, she
said, was vory fretful wheu 111.

she, "lifted ono of his e.vollils and saw a lilin thoro,
, and then Mary ami mamma camo down and I went

sho came down stairs while her mother was upstaira
i arousing Mary, the servant; when sho came back
! with the physician the child triod to comfort
her mother, who was greatly excited; alio never
know that her mother or father had a pistol, though
her father kept a gun in the house. The jurors, la
turn, asked questions of tb? llttlo girl as to whether
liur parents lived happily together; If they ever
quarrelled, and if her father treated her mother
kindly. The roplica all went to show that the ontirg
I family lived 111 harmony.
