DECIDEDLY SENSATIONAL. Terrible End ot an Affair Between a Rich Girl and a Negro- Jacksonville, Ill., Jan. 7.—For a long time the affairs of Miss Fannie Keener, a young, beautiful and wealthy white girl, and Nathan Pos- ten her colored coachman, have been the gossip of town. Some time ago Posten went to Iowa and while he was there Miss Keener sent hem a large amount of valuable property. Miss Keener remained here, where she has been living with her brother. It was thought that there would be nothing more between Miss Keen er and Posten, but this morning the negre returned to Jacksonville and at once proceeded to the house of Miss Keener, where he was met by Tom Keener who ordered him away. Posten turned to go, but as he did so met Miss Keener and a young man named Bancroft. Without warning the negro drew a pistol and began shooting first at Bancroft who was twice wounded, and then at Miss Keener, who promptly returned the fire, both being wounded. Miss Keener was shot through the lungs and hip and is in a very critical condition. Pos ten was shot in the arm and head. “At this juncture Tom Keener and a colored boy named James Brown took a hand, clubbing Posten terri- bly, until disarmed by the crowd at- tracted to the spot. Posten is in jail but so terribly injured that it is thought he cannot recover. It is said that Miss Keener can scarcely live through the night. The Keener family is one of the most prominent in Jacksonville, the elder Keener having been engaged in the commission business at Nup les and Meredosia, Ill., and interest ed in a line of Illinois river steam ers running to St. Louis.

New York, Jan. 7.—Mrs. Haunah Southworth, the slayer of Stephen Pettus, the Brooklyn sillionaire, died in the Tombs prison last night. Dr. Chetwoed, who granted the death certificate, placed the time of death at 2:30 o'clock and gave as the cause of death primary heart failure and general debility. The death is described as having been peaceful. There was at the death bed Mrs. | Southworth’s mother and brothers, George and William Martin. The griefof the mother was painful to} witness. On the morning of November Stephen Pettus, secretary and trezs- urer of the Brooklyn elevated road, was shot five times, just after he had left the ferry at Fulton street by Mrs. Southworth, who had follwed | himfrom Brooklyn. She claimed that Pettus some years ago invited her toa theater matinee, and then 22, | 22, ON A RAIL, RIDDEN A Rici Utd Pennsylvanian Given Decidiediy Unpieasat Treatment- East Liverpool, O., Jan. 8.—In Hoekstown, Pa., last night a gang of regulators called at the residence of Johnston Calhoun, one of the old- est and wealthiest and best known residents, and demanded that he make amends for his alleged brutal- ity tohis wife. They called upon him to come out on the street. He first refused but was finally induced to make his appearance. The regu- lators then took him and placed him on arail and started on a march through the streets. The constable and others attempted to interfere | but the men were determined. A constant shooting off of revolvers and guns was kept up while they marched through the streets and around the square where Calhoun resided. Calhoun is a very large man. At first he fought desperately and then he pleaded for mercy and appealed t» his neighbors to protect him and took her to an apparently respect | able hc ase, drugged her and accom- | plished her ruin while she was i sensible. Criminal malpractice was | necessary. As a result her health | was ruined and her life wrecked. | finally offered the regulators any money they would name to release him.

Francis to-day. It received no appropriation ; from the last general assembly, and | the freport complains not only of this but of the poor law at present | in force,under which it is next to im- possible establish any system of sami- tary regulations. On account of lack of fundsthe board has been unable to gather statistics, consequently Mis- souri will have no figures in the next census report concerning the health- fulness of the state. Local boards of health have only reported births and deaths, as required by law, and the report recommends that such boards be remunerated hereafter by the leg- islature for the work they do. and Two Days. lhe Indiana Chemical Co, have discov ered a compound which acts with wuly narvelous rapidity in the cure of Ri atism and Neuralgia.
