Pi! KITY MRS. MACER.
Btory of a Trustful Woman Who
Loved Not Wisely,
But Turned Over Her Affections ut
Orr Money to a Bad Cltiieu—
ainrdereU by a Burglar—
Other Siaa.
CHICAGO, Nov. ?2.— A youug man wearing
a checkered overcoat, a flashy suit of clothes
and a white plug hat stood before Justice
Foote. He was charged with obtaining
money under false preteuses. A handsome
little woman dressed in black gave h^r evi
dence. Sue had just arrived from New York.
The justice held the prisoner to the criminal
court in bonds of 1,000.
The case revealed a curious story. The
name of the prisoner was J. Henry Melville,
and he claimed to be the manager of the
New York Ideal Comedy company—"now on
the road," he remarked, with a professional
air. The woman in black was Mrs. Alice
Macer, of New York city. Last summer she
became acquainted with Melville in New
York. Her husband is confined in a lunatic
asylum, aud she controlled considerable
property and ready cash. The acquaintance
with Melville soon ripened into love, real on
her part and feigned on his. To his credit as
an actor, ho successfully hoodwinked the
fair one, and it was agreed that tliey should
fly aud marry.
He proposed going to Chicago, where, he
said, a divorce from an insane husband could
easily be obtained. Mis. Macer gave him #500
and he came to this city. But here he fell in
with another woman and went to live with
her at a city hotel. In letters written to Mrs.
Macer he represented that he was just about
buying a store, and received ?"t0 more with
the understanding that it was to be invested.
It was, bat not in a store, the money being
lavished on his new paramour.
Mrs. Macer at last became suspicious, and
started for Chicago. She arrived, with the
result as detaile above. To add another
complication to the case it is said that the
husband ha3 been released from the insane
asylum, and is now hunting for his wife. It
is not known whether he is permanently
cured or not. In the meantime Mrs. Macer is
following Melville, aud the semi-maniac hus
band may be expected on the track of both in
a few days.
Shot Dead by
.a Burglar.
Cox:."olisviLLE. lnl.. Xov. —One of the
most hoiribb murders for mousy ever com
mitted in this couaty has roused Ru hville to
the extremist pitch of exci.emeut. Edward
Payne was cashier of the First National
bank, living in a pleasant home with his
wife and children. He now lies there dead,
with a bullet through his brain. Aroused
by an unusual noise he was coming down
stairs at 4 a. m., when a burglar standing
in the hall below fired with fatal
aim and Payne sank on the stairs. The
assassin and his comrade in crime fled. The
family, aroused by the report of th9 pistol,
hastily arose and hurried to the spot. Medi
cal aid was summoned, but the wounded
husband and father was past human help,
and quickly breathed his last in the arms of
his wife. Search through the house showed
that the burglars had been interrupted in
their nefarious work before securing any
booty. A vigorous search is being made
for» the murderer, and as the alarm
so quickly followed the crime that it is
thought he certainly will be found before
nightfall. The country is being scoured by
armed parties and business in town is
practically suspended. In Connorsville,
where the murdered man was well and
favorably known, the feeling is very intense.
The Hissing Agnes Matzke.
TOLONO, 111., Nov] 22.—At the time Agnes
Richards was married to Lewis Matzke in
July she had two other suitors. Although
she gave her hand to Matzke it appears she
still had a tender regard for h8r former
lovers. One of these Agnes had loved not
wisely but too well, and as time passed it
bedame painfully evident to her that some
thing must be done to cover up her sin,
and she decided to have an abortion pro
cured. The man responsible for her delicate
condition was the person to whom she nat
urally applied for assistance. A month ago
she was taken desperately ilL Her husband
had no suspicion of the cause till a note
thrown in the window for Agnes fell into his
hands. Then a storm ensued, and Matzke
vowed summary vengeance, but his wife's
tearful supplications softened his heart and
dissuaded him. Her paramour sought
the far west. But the family af
fairs were in a condition too des
perate for complete reconciliation. Matzke
continued to heap threats of violence upon
his wife. As soon as she was sufficiently re
covered to stand the journey, the other lover
came to the rescue. At midnight, with a
trusted companion, he drove a close carriage
up to the Wilson house, eloped with the child
wife, and hurried off to Pesotum, a distance
of five miles. Here Agnes Matze was placed
upon the 2 a. in. train and carried away to
Mattoon, where she has been kept and cared
for by friends, who have made every effort to
keep her whereabouts from the public.
Trajredy in Kentucky.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 22.—Four miles
south of Dyersburg, Tenn., a tragedy oc
curred which may result in the death of two
persons, father and son. The facts, as re
lated, are as follows: A negro by the name
of Jackson was employed by Mr. M. J. Sor
rell, a welt-to-do planter, to do some farm
work. At dinner he was given a plate which
he said was not clean, and at once com
menced swearing in a boisterous manner. A
son of Mr. Sorrell who heard him ordered
him away, when,without a word of warning,
he pulled out his pocket-knife and attacked
the young man, stabbing him several
times and inflicting wounds that
may prove fatal. Mr. Sorrell, see
ing the danger of his son, came to
his assistance, when Jackson turned upon
him and cut him so severely in several places
that in all probabilities he too will die. The
negro then went to the cabin of another negro
near there and compelled the occupants to
give him his shotgun, securing which he dis
appeared in the woods and is still at large.
The citizens of Dyersburg and vicinity are
seeking the murderer, and if his pursuers,
who number not less than fifty, capture him,
his trial will not bother the courts of Dyer
county.

SECRETARY LINCOLN.
Ghat with HI* Law Partner Abwl
lliur.
NEW YORK, NOV. 22.—"Gath" says he had
a talk with Mr. Isham, the Chicago law part
ner of Secretary Lincoln, which was mostly
about the secretary. Mr. lsiiam said of
•'Bob's'* c'hameter: "Every motive he has is
of the highest nature. In his domestic life,
his business life and his politics he
is down to the ground in nothing.
"Gath" asked who the friends of Bob Lin
coln are, and tke reply embraced David Davis,
Mark Skinner, John Wentworth, and James
Harlan. Continuing, he said: "He is now41
years old. If you enter hs family you will
find him there all the time, when he is not at
liis work. He has three children, one of them
boy named Abraham."
"Thej- say lie can't appreciate a joke?"
"That is absurd,*' sai-1 Mr. Isham. "I
know no man who enjoys clean humor more
than Robert Lincoln, nor any oue who can
tell anecdotes better. It is by sue£i remarks
as that that this gentleman is undervalued.
I will venture to say that the man who made
the remark, though he may have gone to
school with Robert Lincoln, never had his ac
quaintance."
"How does Mr. Lincoln stand with regard
to President Arthur's aspiration for the pres
idency f'
"Mr. Lincoln is bound by no man's personal
ambition. He would not governed by Mr.
Blaine in Garfield's cabinet. He stands upon
his own character and responsibility now."
"What do you think, Mr. Isham, about
Robert Lincoln's standing before the coun
try f'
"I think it is first-class. He is not going to
do anything to nurse it, nor to offend it. He
was invited into Garfield's cabinet without
the least intrigue on his part or that of his
friends."
"Do you think the chief magistracy, if it
should come to him, would be well dis
posed i"
"He would make," said Mr. Isham, a firm,
u{ right, sensible, national president of the
United States. His Leakh, mental and
physical, is perfectly sound. Though a young
man, he has an old head on young shoulders
He has hardly ever known the carelessnes
of youth? He was .not of age
when his father was elected presi
dent He behold his father immersed in
the deep burdens of this government when its
foundations were shaken. He returned to
see his father murdered and his mother de
railed by their mutual misfortunes. He
married a beautiful woman, whom he loved
in her girlhood, an she has been for years
an invalid. He took up the labor of life
leaning on no man, and be knows what re
sponsibility is, and is grave and steady un
der it."
THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
Ciov. Butler Tcl's iiow the Bill Was
Passed.
BOSTON", Mass., Nov. 2J.—Gov. Butler, in
an interview with a reporter regarding a
newspaper assertion that he had sai 1 the
civil rights bill was not drawn by him, but
by Mr. Shellabarger, makes the following
statement:
I did not %iy that Shellabarger drew the
civil rights bill. He drew the force bill I
dii not draw this civil rights bill. If you
w..l look into The Congressional Record for
February, 1S75, from the l.-t to the 15th, you
will find" this to be the history of the bill:
The senate had passed this bill as reported by
the senate judiciary committee. It came over
to the house and laid on the speaker's
table with a large number of bills on top of
it. Of course it could not be got at without
getting rid of all those bills first except by a
tVv O-thirds vote, which we couldn't get. If the
house passed its judiciary committee's bill,
then the senate would probably not pass that
without some amendments, and then it could
no!. be carried through the house, because it
was not passed after all until the
1st of March,
1875. and congress adjourned the 3d. There
fore, I was instructed by the judiciary com
mittee of the house to report a civil rights
bill, which I did. I wae also instructed at
the same time to yield to an amendment to
cv bill by the substitution of the senate bill,
which I did, and that senate bill was passed
by the house as my bill amended, and then
this substitute bill was sent over to the senate
an that body passed it
la the same interview his excellency denied
the authenticity of the story that he had
sai 1 uncomplimentary things about Gov.
Cleveland of New York and Gov.-elect
ALb-ett of New Jersey, and added that he ha
written to those gentlemen pronouncing the
story a fabrication.

fro his opposition to tin- Patriarchal circle.

A
"SASS" FOR SLUGGERS
A t'ineinnntl linn l-ny* Down the
Law to Mull I van.
CINCINNATI NOV. 2.\—A spovtiug corres
pondent of The Enquirer writes:
"When John L. Sullivan was here ho said
to uie: "Miicon, yon must come tl
Boston to see me fight Faddy Ry.m.
I intend to break his jaw with
the first peit I'll give him. I'm sick
of his talk about me." I promised to be on
hand. Rending the articles of agreement l«
tweeu 8ulliva:» and Paddy signed in Chi
cago I fail to see any evidence of tli it des
perate intent. True, they are to meet for a
four-round contest according to the
Marquis of Qaeeusbury rules, but for no
stakes, and the admission nicviey is to be
equally divided. This uai rather a singu'ai
look to me, and the more I think it over the
odder it appears. I never felt quite sure in my
mind that John could knock Paddy out in
four rounds with the gloves. It took him
nine rounds to lick him at Mississippi City,
and then lu was so far from biiu inv isible
that he begged not to be sent up again. I
know that the champion has improved
greatly since that time, while Pa.^.y, so
Charley McDonald tells me, has grown som
what stale. There should be nj staleness
about him, however, that four weeks j.idi
cious traiuing ought not remove. Beside, this
is to be n glove contest, with no wres ling.
All ih it Paddy has to do is to fi^ht wholly on
the eie sive, and then Sullivan's work will
be doublet!. Supjase he purnocely fails to
knock Paddy out in the four ronnds—then
what? A little bird at my elbow whispers:
Perhaps another contest aud more gate
money. Neither Sul-ivau nor Ryan La-i been
in California and, as the xople of San Fran
cisco are represented as' aching (o see them,
it may be letting them oli' too ohcap to give
them but one fight. If this should be
the case, I woul advise fcul».-au to save up
every dollar that he makes in California, for
his star will wane an 1 disappear from the list
of financial successes, and those who are
now willing to pay liberally to see him meet
most any good mau will not give up a quar
ter iu the future, for the}' will doubt the hon
est}' of the encounter. He has the faith of
the public now, but he must not trifle with it.
He must make the hurricane fight of his
life with Ryan in Han Francisco, or people
will not believe it to bo oa the square. No
excuses, such as that he failed to train prop
eriy, will avail him 111 this match. He must
be we'd and fit, and he must fight like a
tiger. Then, if he ils to knocic him out,
he i ust challenge him to a meeting with the
bare knuckles to the biiter end. Nothing
else will do. There must not bo a second
glove fight.
BAD NEIGHBORHOOD FOR BABIES.
Sliockiiis Depravity of Same Geergls
Mothers.
MACON, Ga., Nov. 22.—Some horrible evi
dences of human depravity have been fur
nished in the past week. In Calhoun couuty
one afternoon, as Ben J. irper was in the
woods, his attention was drawn to a flock of
buzzards, and, going up to see what they had
found, discovered a live colored child, which
had evidently been born in the woods and
abandoned by its mother. The buzzards had
just made th» discovery, as their damage to
the child had been slight. It was taken to a
hoiis? near by, and its mother subsequently
found.
In the same couuty another was found in
the woods near Harris' place while being de
voured by buzzards. The child was not dead
when found, but would cry when pierced by
the beaks of the carrion birds. The appear
ance of buzzards anl the cries of the infant
were the means of i s discover}-. The mother
of the infant, Mary Am Sadberry, left it to
be devoured in the woo Is imme iiatdy after
giving birth to it Neither mother nor child
can live long. The mother has been ar
rested.
jjfNear "West Point, while Mr. H. T. Martin
was sucker-fishing, he discovered what he
supposed to be an infant's body, in the water
near the bank. It proved to be the infant of
a negro woman, Emma Kirk. She had been
away but returned lasc week, saying her babe
had died. At the inquest the unnatural
woman tried to tbro .v the blame on others,
but she was held for murder nevertheless.
Another Opinion of Irv5nz's Actinjj.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 22.—Manager Mills, of
this city has just returned from New York,
where he saw Henry Irving twice—in "Shy
lock" and as "Louis XI." As the historic
Jew he regards Irving as tho inferior of
Edwin Booth, but he says that the man r.er the
play was mounted and played, as a whole,
was marvelous. There was such an atten
tion to detail as has never before been
seen in this country. Henry Abbey says that
Irving is the hardest worker he ever saw. He
rehearses every uay, and the humblest super
is taught just where to be and precisely how
to bear himself when iu the presence of the
audience. The business with the caskets
was the most elaborate I have ever seen, and
during the trial scene tha spectators talked
and were interested just as they would have
been in real life, while at the same time the
by-play never interferrcd with or interrupted
the actions of the play. His Louis XI'
was grand in every respect. Nature
never intended Mr. Irving to be an actor. All
that he is is the result of intelligent study. If
Edwin Booth was to pay the same attention
to the details of his plays chat Irving does he
would be the greatest actor in the world. I
think if Irving could stay with us for three or"
four years he would revolutionize stage set
ting and playing. He is just as particular
with the scenes that he is not ou in as be u
with his own." Mr. Mi'es says that in private
Mr. li ving is very gentlemanly and unassum
ing, but awkward and ungainly, though net
at all ill at ease.

The CHICAGO DAILY NEWS is the pioneer of cheap journalism in the West
It was founded Dec. 20, 1875, as an evening paper with editions at noon,
8 and 5 o'clock. A complete newspaper,—complete in the one essential feature
of American journalism, i. e., presenting all the news,—sold on the street at any
price less than the conventional nickel, was an innovation in western "journal
ism, and, like all new enterprises, the "cheap paper" fe~dto contend with long
established custom and even prejudice before securing ^he recognition it sought
and deserved. At the end of the first year, 1876, it had achieved a daily sale
ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 copies. From this time forward its progress wai
beyond all precedent in American journalism. Il» i!877 its average daily circula
tion was 22,037 copies in 1878,38,314 cop es A 1879,45,194 copies in 1880,
64,801 copies. On the morning of March 21, 1881, the CHICAGO MORNING NEWS
made^its first appearance. In September following, the sixth month of its pub
lication, its circulation amounted to 490,019 copies, or a daily average of 18,846
copies,—a circulation never before attained by any daily paper in the United
States, within a corresponding time.
The CHICAGO DAILY NEWS, therefore, as now published, consists of MOHH
HTG, NOON, and EVENING ISSUES, known respectively as the MORNING NEW*
NOON NEWS, and EVENING NEWS. The average combined circulation of the
three issues of the DAILY NEWS now exceeds 90,000 copies each day. To appre
ciate the exceptional extent of this vast circulation it i3 only necessary to state
that it is over three times the circulation of any other daily paper in Chicago
or the West, while its circulation in the city of Chicago is GREATER than ALL
other Chicago daily papers COMBINED. Being an independent paper,the organ
of no party, sect, or class, it is the one universally read Chicago paper. The
flubscription price of the DAILY NEWS, either MORNING or EVENING issue, is
$6
.OO.per year, or $2.00 for four months, postage included.
On July 2, 1878, the DAILY NEWS purchased the CHICAGO EVENING
consolidated its daily issue with the DAILY NEWS, and continued its weekly
Issue under the name of the CHICAGO "WEEKLY NEWS. The WEEKLY NEWS
under its present name and management is therefore less than five years old,
though as a consecutive weekly publication it is now in its twentieth year. The
CHICAGO WEEKLY NEWS takes a corresponding field among weekly newspapers
to that occupied by the DAILY NEWS among dailies. It gives the news of the
world in condensed yet complete form. Its Chicago market quotations are es
pecially complete and trustworthy. That the CHICAGO WEEKLY NEWS has bean
Correct in its judgment of the requirements of a large class of readers of the
weekly press is best evidenced by extent of its circulation, which aggregated
In the month immediately preceding /ae date of this writing, 202,053 copies, or
a weekly average of 50,513 copies. The subscription price of the WsxcfaY
NEWS is but SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS per year, postage included.
The phenomenal success of the CHICAG® NEWS in both its DAILY
WESKLY ISSUES has been achieved by observing that fundamental principle
offering the best article of its kind in the market at the lowest cost to the pur
chaser. The CHICAGO NEWS is chcap only in price. The character of its news
tervice is unsurpassed. It is a member of the Western Associated Press, and in
addition to the unrivalled news service furnished by this Association," it enjoys
the exceptional advantage of its own special telegraphic wire from Chicago
to
Washington and New York on the East and to Milwaukee and St Paul on the
North. Giving all the news through reportorial and telegraphic failitiea un
surpassed by those of any other Chicago paper, it commends itself to all classes
fn the community, to rich and poor alike, in that it offers an absolutely com
plete record of the news of the day in concise form, without the needless
verbiage and amplification whrh render so many metropolitan journals "a
weariness to the flesh," wkite its price btiags it wltbia tba raafth ol all

A new fiber for paper-making has

Numerous ex.-'ii.ples of the spread
ing of riboasc by milk have been ai
i'brded by late few repidemics in JSng
Jand and .Scotland. In Dundee an
cpiricmicof scarlet fever nas been fol
lowed closely by mcof typhoid fSvcr,
and it has been found that the victims
of each were chiefly persons wiio used
milk bought from u vender whose
family was affected with the disease.
In a paper read before the Philosophi
cal Society of Glasgow, Dr. John
Doiigfiil has give:: the results of inves
tigations which prove that milk is
specially liable to absorb impurities
from the atmosphere. Milk exposed
for a short time to the emanations
from strongly scented sub-Tauces ac
quired the peculiar odors, and retained
Iheto as long as fourteen hours. It is
prolble that both milk and cream
quickly imbibe contagious germs as
well, which mates them formidable
agent- for distributing certain diseases
In case of any uncertainty as to the
purity of milk it would ee/tainly hi
wi- to it, as r.ug^"--ted by Dr.
.ugal!, as it is believed that boii'.ng
