A BELLIGERENT WOMAN.
Gainesville, Tex March 8. Margaret
!L?.UG, SO years Old, weighing 175 pounds,
and a giautess in strength, yesterday clear
ed out the mayor's office in the John L.
Sullivan style. Several days ago her hus
band was fined by the mayor's court. At
11 o'clock yesterday she called at the of
ficer's office and gave him a terrible tongue
lashing, lie ordered Policeman Kobertsou
to arrest her. and she knocked the police
na l flat with a square shoulder blow on the
iioau. At this juncture City Attorney llall
filtered and attempted to restrain the
virago and she floored him. The mayor
then took a hand in the game and siie
likewise knosked him down. Then she
waded in aud actually threshed all three
of them and drove them from the court
room. In her rage she fairly stripped her
self of clothing. The men are badly dis
figured abo'.it the face. She had possession
of the court room for threo hours after she
drove them out and only when she got
ready did she leave.
THE CONDUCTOR RESPONSIBLE.
Buffalo, N. Y., March S. Coroner
'Tucker and a jury visited the scene of the
wreck yesteulay afternoon and made a
thorough examination of the road and the
grade. The iuquest will be held next
Tuesday afternoon.
As additional facts are learned it be
comes clearer that the responsibility for
the wreck rests with Conductor Houghtal
mg. The rules governing the case of a
train breaking in two specially say: "The
forwaid part must not stop until the en
gineer Is sure that the rear t;trt of the
train lias stopped."' From the statement of
the passengers it is evident that no step
wis taken to ascertain the position of
the detached Jpoit ion before the forward
part of the train was stopped in Thurs
day night's accident.
WELL PAID FOR TAFFY GIVEN.
New York, March S. Mr. and Mrs.
Kendall concluded their engagement at
the Fifth Avenue theater tonight. Mr.
Kendall made a speech at the end of the
performance in response to the plaudits of
the audience, in which he snoke of the
kind treatment they had received in Amer
ica and expressed his extreme satisfaction
that the sincerity of their efforts in pre
senting to the American public the best at
their command had met with Mich strong
appioval. "Tomorrow night," ho said",
"we begin a journey which we havolooked
forward to for some months with much
apprehension a six days' railroad trip
across your great American continent."
He had not supposed when he first landed
on thfse shores that he should find the op
portunity to go through the experience of
what appeared to an Englishman so loug
aud wonderful a railroad journey.
Calls for Mrs. Kendall broughn her to
the side front also. She sai 1: "I am what
lam, 1 appreciate what 1 have seen in
my audience as a u?st of their
affection. You have laughed
with us and cried with us.
.No sincerer test is wanted by an actor
than this. Your geuerosity has'been wito

you are large in couutry. But there were
others who watched with an anxious eve
our advent with you. 1 left behind me "in
Lngland five children who were loath to
let us go. "But don't be frightened,

bet, si freighter, a week ago, were over
taken yesterday on Salt river, thirty miles
north of Globe, by a detachment of troops
under command of Lieutenant James M,
Watson, Tenth infantry, and Lieutenant

against it. In malarious regions of our
south and west, iu South America, Guate

as in transmarine countries wnere the
scourge exists, this inimitable preventive
and remedy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,

Notes by an- Ex-Russian Exile
on' the' Trip to SamborT.
IN THE KRE2IL1N AT MOSCOW.
A Lousr Hide in Gloomy Cars from St.
Petersburg to the Capital and from
There to Jsijni Jfovgorod How He Out
witted His Guards.
The news recently received of tho awful
outrages inflicted on Russian political prison
ers at "Kara is still the leading topic among
the many Russians who have gone into vol
untary exile in America to escapa enforced
sxile in Siberia. A number of these people
ivere talking on the subject not long ago in
Sew York. One man who, after three years
n the mines, escaped to America, told the
'ollowing story of his journey from St. Po
ersburg to the mines:
After I had learned that I wa3 to be exiled
I remained in the prison at St. Petersburg
for some time. Finally I wa3 told that, with
a largo party, I was to be sent to Siberia at
once. After we had arrived at the railroad
depot we were driven like so many cattle into
a car men and women indiscriminately
mixed.
It was evidently the intention to make our
surroundings as gloomy as possible. Tho cars
into which we were ushered were almost as
dark as tho wagon in which wo journeyed to
the station. A few small windows high up in
tho car admitted a little light, but prevented
our seeing anything of the country through
which we were passing. When darkness over
took us, we were not permitted lights,
and amidst such gloomy surroundings we
traveled from Petersburg to Moscow. The
officer in charge of our party was an old sol
dier of tho time of Nicholas I, and like his lata
master a more than strict disciplinarian. He
was brutal to prisoners, and we found it im
possible to get a civil word from him. The
younger members of tho party derived their
chief amusement from singing patriotic songs,
in the sweet sounds forgetting that they had
not been bidden to a feast by their autocratic
master, but instead, exiled to a wild, gloomy
country, whore they would spend many years
of misery, and some would perhaps pass their
whole lives, with a bondage more cruel than
death overshadowing them.
Tho next day we reached the old white
stone city, near tho capital of Russia, always
interesting from tho many recollections cling
ing around t. On alighting at the station
we were conducted by Cossacks and gend
armes,'On foot, through the city to the Krem
lin, inside whoso gates stands an immense,
frowning structure, called a forwarding pris
on. It was surrounded by a high stone wall.
Within tho prison a sickening sight met our
gaze. 2to matter in what direction the eyo
turned it rested on dampness and filth inde
scribable. Tho cells were large, but their
size for actual use was much diminished
through accumulations of dirt, and, worse
than all, were swarming with vermin. Each
cell contained a chair or wooden bench ; other
wise it was devoid of furniture. After our
experience of the St. Petersburg prison, this
Beemed in truth a very sink hole, and I won
dered that so many survived a residenco in
tho place.
The people of Moscow have the greatest
fiympathy for exiied prisoners. The starosta
of our party had many hundred roubles
handed him wbile we were passing through
the city. Refusal to accept such contributions
would be regarded an insult. They are ten
dered from the fullness of sympathetic hearts
and should bo accepted in the spirit offered.
While we were only a party of politicals, and
many of us well supplied with money, we did
not wish to give offense to the kind citizens,
so accepted their generous assistarce with
many thaulcs.
While at the Kremlin we were shown
the horrible iron cage in which the revo
lutionist Imgatcheff met his death. A sight
of this remarkable instrument of tor
ture is evidently intended to subdue all tur
bulent hearts. This cage is about ten feet
high and four wide, aud still contains the
heavy iron chains which encircled the body
.and limbs of tho great leader. Imgatcheff
met his horrible death during the reign of
Catherine the Groat. In tho present time a
more refined and prolonged species of cruelty
is practised slow death in the underground
mines. After remaining threo days in Mos
cow, we were once more conducted to tho
railway station, where wo took a train for
Nijui Novgorod, at which place I had to sep
arate from tho rest of the party, as my desti
nation lay in a different direction from
theirs. At Nijni Novgorod I was conducted
into the presence of Samoyloff, the colonel of
tho regiment, under whose jurisdiction the
etape prisons were.
He refused to let me proceed on my way
accompanied by one soldier. I had traveled
from Archangel in that way, and his refusal
angered mo to such an extent that I told him
that he could send the whole regiment to
escort me if he wished to do so, one or a hun
dred, it was all the same to me. Whilo this
conversation was going on an ctape officer ap
peared on tho scene, a Capt. Eoylowski (a
Pole), who approached me with what he in
tended as a winning smile, and asked if I
wished dinner; he said ho could send it to me.
Instead, after a few hours, he arrived at tho
prison with the local prosecutor to search and
examine my baggage, saying that he was
but f uliiuing his duty, aud that any protest on
my part would be of no avail, as as he would
have to search my papers before he could
permit mo to depart, as they mighp possibly
contain something against tho government.
He disappeared, taking, all my documents and
letters with him, and I did not see him again
for threo days. He then sent word that he
had destroyed all my papers, and that I might
continue my journey under the care of two
soldiers, who had orders not to travel more
than one station or twenty-fivo versts a day.
So I started on my way, with a soldier and
a bayonet on either side of me. Ik was not a
pleasant situation in which to be placed, es
pecially iu regard to the order about tho
twenty-five versts, but with a little ingenuity
I managed to avoid that order. It was a
coldf-ramy day, and the snow was quite deep
on the ground, which, with the downpour of
rain, made the roads almost impassable, in
consequence of whi Jh we were forced to move
slowly, and many times our wagon wheels
stuck in ruts from which it seemed impossi
ble to extricate them.
After a few hours' travel we all became
thoroughly chilled, and when wo reached tho
first kabak, or liquor saloon, I invited my
guard to have a drink of vodka. I was
already on friendly terms with them and in
sisted that vodka would protect them from i
cold. Strict orders are issued to soldiers hav
ing prisoners in charge, and above all things
they are cautioned against partaking of any
kind of liqu r. It was a sora trial for the
men, and a sharp battle of conscience and
duty against the alluring wiles of vodka en
sued. Vodka as much as tea a tho national
drink, particularly among the middle and
lower classes. WhaS wonder, then, that the
men could not resist the temptation. The
itruggia as short and sbarp. and they deciil
sd in favor ol just one drink or vtxifcs to
ceep the cold our. It was tho beginning of
the end. and vxdka soon became the master.
It did not taUe the soIdlei3 long to drink
Msemselves in! o a beastly tate of intoxica
tion. Then, with the assistant of some peas
ant?, I placed them in the bottom of the
wagon and drove to Stomoway, the chief of
police for the district, and representing the
soldiers as verraiek men who were under my
care, and the road so bad that it was impo.;
fibie to get along witli one horso, aiked that
se would oratr me tarea horsas to take iae to

and I jjassed four stations witbtmt atopping,

this means I reached my destination, the city

released me, and I once more, to a great ex
tent, breathed the air 'of freedom.
THE BANK BURGLAR'S BRIDE.
Sad. Story of a Lady Whose Ixve Was Given
to a Criminal.
Mra. Mary Scott Rowland gives in the col
umns of The New York World the main facts
of her thirteen years of devotion to her con
vict husband and his "paL"' Some bits of her
mournful career have from time to time ap
peared in the papers, but here she sums it up,
and the pathos of it is condensed in these two
short paragraphs:
THE BURGLARS BKIDE.
The picture at the left shows her at the ajo cf
15, the other ts she is now.
"A happy bride at the age of 13, 1 stood
upon the threshold of life with everything to
live for.
"Suddenly and without warning the joyous
horizon of the future darkened and my young
lifo became simply an existence of sorrow,
disappointment and self sacrifice."
May 15, 1878, she, being but 15 years old,
left the Moravian seminary at Bethlehem, Pa ,
to become tho wife of Robert C. Scott, aged
23. On the night of the 26th of January,
1S76, the noted bank robbery at Northampton,
Mass., occurred, one of tha boldest and most
memorable bank robberies ever committed.
On the evening of Feb. 14, 1870, Robert A.
Pinkerton and two police officers called at her
residence, No. 3 North Washington square.
New York, and informed her that they had
that day arrested her husband in Philadel
phia, and he was then on his way to North
ampton. But they obtained no information
from her, for she fell senseless to tho floor,
and many days intervened before she was
quite restored. Months passed beforo she
gained access to her husband, but thereafter,
as long as he lived, she devoted her labors to
his comfort.

Her details of his home lif e make an inter
esting study, showing how much like other
men a burglar is when "off duty." He was
extremely kind and affectionate, "his habits
thoroughly domestic," she says; he was very
fond of. music and had her voice cultivated
under tho most skillful teachers. The trial
showed that Scott and his friend, Jams Dun
lap, were induced to undertake tho crime by
a man in the employ of a safe and lock com
pany; he turned state's ovidence and escaped,
whilo the two were sentenced for twenty
years. On the first day of 1878 they entered
the Massachusetts state's prison. Scott a mag
nificent physical specimen, 23 years old; Dun- j
lap nearly 40 and somewhat broken, suf
fering greatly from wounds received in the
war for the Union. Yet Scott failed fastest
and died first.
His wife obtained lodgings near the prison,
worked hard, lived economically and devoted
her savings to making the two comfortabl?.
Tho officials soon acquired such confidence in
her that they never inspected tho fruit or
provisions she carried in. Scott sank rapidly
aud died early in 1SS2. Almost his last re
quest was that she should continue to care for

has succeeded in getting many interested, in

mander. The authorities have agreed to par
don Dunlap this year, and soon the weary
woman's hard task will be ended. Dunlap,
however, is so near worn out that release will
probably come too late.

Circumstances Attending the
Charge Against C. F. Vail.
AX UNHAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
A S trance Train of Coincidences Preceded
the Tragic Death of His Wifa in lYhich
Accident Insurance Tickets and Inccadl
arisin Were Curionsly Mixed.
Charles F. Tail, who has been jailed in St.
Louis on the charge of murdering bis wife, will
have to break many links in a long chain of
circumstantial evidence if he goes free again.
Moro than two years ago he began court
ing Miss FanuieSlattery, a pretty and Intelli
gent St. Louis girL Ho wa3 an ardent lover,
and they were married July 10, 1SS9. This
marriage, because of his stipulations, was
kept secret outside of the bride's family. The
reason he gave for hiding the marriage was
that bis income was at that time too small to
support a wife, and that he expected to be left
some property before long which he might
lose if his marriage became generally known.
From the moment of his marriago his ex
travagant manifestations of affection ceased.
From the time of the ceremony until the tune
his wifo died from a bullet from bis revolver
he contributed, it is said, but two dollars to
her support.
Little more than a week bad elapsed after
his marriage before ho began piling up insur
ance policies on his wife's life. He also in
eured his own life, but his sister was named
as tho beneficiary.
He only visited his wife at intervals, and
then they were seldom together more than a
few hours at a time. Once when she urged
him to acknowledge the marriage to tho
world and livo with her as a husband should,
he issaid to have declared with an oath:
"I married you for a purpose and I haven't
accomplished it j-et."
His conduce was such that before long hi3
wife had lost all affection for him, but she
'eared him too much to apply for a divorce.
SIB, ASD MRS. VAIL.
There began about this time a remarkable
series of coincidences. For instance, one day
Vail took out an accident insurance ticket on
his wife's life for $5,000, expiring within
twenty-four hours. There was at that tima
$15,000 in other policies on her life. That
night tho building in which she lived was set
on fire by an unknown incendiary.
Only a few weeks afterward he procured a
similar ticket. Tho night was dark and
drizzly, but ho called at his wife's home with
a buggy and insisted that she go with him for
a drive. When she returned she told her
mother a strange story. She said that they
drove in the rain to Forest park and when
they were on one of the deserted roads of tho
park Vail stopped tho buggy, threw the reins
on the horse's back, jumped to the ground,
and, taking tho whip, lashed and cut the
horse. She leaned quicklv forward aud fort
unately caught the lines. The horse plunged
when tho whip fell on him, but tho poor girl,
then in a delicate condition, held fast to the
reins and exerted all her strength to con
trol tho frantic animal. And thero they
stood, he on the ground in safety, cutting and
lashing the horso; she in the buggy straining
every muscle to hold the horse and save her
life. Sho won and Vail took his seat in the
buggy again, turned around nud drove home.
If that hor&o had run and in tho darkness
thrown the buggy against a tree, and if the
poor girl's brains had been dashed out, that
one day policy, good for that day only,
would have been payable, $15,000 of other In
surance would have been due, and Vail had
tho policies.
Her family begged him constantly to livo
with his wife, and fiually he consented to do
so, on condition that they move from tho
fiat to a private house. Thoy did so, and, al
though they could ill afford it, furnished the
rooms handsomely which Vail and his wife
were to occupy, so that his home would
bo an attractive oue. A strange thing hap
pened in this house. One night ilrs. Vail
heard her little dog barking in tho yard, and
went down. She found a pile of shavings
saturated with coal oil against the house.
Who placed them there no one knows, but
many suspoct. After that Vail expressed a
strong dislike for the dog, and after one of
his visits it died of poison. Vail denied hav
ing administered the doso.
On Feb. 1 of this year bo took his wife to
his uncle's farm near Old Comfort, Ho. Not
heeding tho pleadings of bis wifo and her
mother ho took with him his pistol, which
had lain at Mrs. Slartery's for weeks. On the
following Monday ho returned to St. Louis,
and beforo going back on Feb. S ho took out
two two-day accident ticksts for 55,000 each,
one on his wife's life and one on his own.
Why he bought one for His wife, who was
J still at the farm and was not going to travel,
is a mystery. This again swelled tho insur
I anco on his wife's life to $20,000.
i Ho was to have returned to St. Louis on
iho early tram Monday morning, but when
he was awakened he said be did not feel well
and would wait for tho afternoon train. He
spent tho day aroUnd the place. At 25
p. m. they got ready to start for the station.
Mr. McAteo (his uncle) went to the heads of
the hores.which were standing near by ready
for tho drive, to uutie them. Vail helped
Miss Lizzie McAtce into tho wagon and took
up a position behind Mrs. Vail on the ground
He placed hi hands under her arms as if to
lift her up. Miss Lizzie was busy fixing the
cushions, while Mr. McAteo was still unty
ing the horses.
Suddenly a ihot was heard and Mrs. Vail
exclaimed :
"Oh, Charlie, you've snot men
Thi3 was exactij three hours before ths
accident ticket on her life expired.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Vail died.
Vail's explanation of the shooting was that
his pistol was in his overcoat pocket and was
accidentally exploded by striking against the
wagon wbeeb
Vail has been in trouble before. He was
arrested in 1SS3 on a warrant sorn out by
a disreputable woman who charged him with
stealing from her a pair of diamond earrings.
Her jewelry was retarded to her and he was
discharged from custody. Hs claimed that
it was a caM of blackmaiL It is alleged that
he ha alo been mired up in one or two quetr
fire insurance casts.
If mnrder wj committed it was a doobl
crime, for Mrs. Vail wai abect to become a
mother.
