Libby was cducated in Vassar College and graduated thero three and- n halt years ngo. Boforo she Jeft home she had formad o siucere atfachment for a young man lving near Bavannah, When Libby left school she expected to marry her lover, but hier family had other plans. Shie was compelled to marry o man_not only twice her sge, but a worn-out roue, Tho family benefited by this marriage, but Libby’s lover wrote her a long Jetter, in which he avowed that “as surc a8 fate ho would, before many years had passed, succeed In securing o vengeance that would cure his wounded heart by its completeness.,” The youngg bride was very unhappy. She begged of her fanilly to allow her a soparation. They refuscd. Libby's lover contrived to throw him- self in the young wife's way. The old fotimacy was revived, and went so far as to give oc- casion for scandal. Last summer, ons morn- Ing, thore was n sensation csured by the sud- den disappearnnce of Libby and her lover. Thoy fled North, and for some time, under an assumed pame, lived as man and wifo tn Philadelphia, and afterward in Cleveland. Last September they came herc sod boarded on Loxington avenue, In a month Lib- by's lover and supposed husband abandon- ed her, writing from Oleveland that his revenge was naw completo.

She toyed with Blhaw, bLut did not like him, and refused bis offers. He would haunt tho = bLouse, and nlmost took up his residenco there for some wecks, Monday night, at o late bour, he went with the girl to lier roum, and, us soon s the door was closed, drew wemnll revolver. Not wetting satlsface tory answors to his huportunitics, he placed the barrel to his head and fired. Owing to unsteadl- ness, tho ball only made u scalp wound. At the Polico Court this moruing 8haw sald he meant to kill himsclf, and would do so yet. lHis frionds were allowed to take, him {n charge. The casc creates a natked sensation, and much sympathy {8 foit for tho widowed mother, who has devoted herself cspecially to this sou. THE LYNCHING OF A WOMAN.

VISCONSIN. MILWAUKEY POLITICS. Rpecial Dispateh to The Tribune. MiLwaukee, March 12.—8ince Iast Baturday evening there has probably been more talk among Democrats * between drinks * about the candidates for Mayor than ever before during tho same length of time. The frequenters of the lotels, saloons, club-rooms, and wherever elsa the politiclans most do congregate, have given their attention malnly to this interesting 'lub([cct. ond have evolved out of the depth of thelr glasses, if not out of thelr *inner con- sclousnces,” the probable fact that the Hon, John Black is the comning an. Black is a good naine for a dark horse, isn't ft ‘There are n good many reasons why Black fs Jikely to be the nest Mayor that may be briefly cnumernted; sod, first of all, It may be stated that the Democratic party of thla city s utterly broken up and dirorganized; it is with- out ldeas, leadership, or principles® without head; and, in fact, without auything but an enormous, nebulous tafl that Is switching about “without-form and void.” The parts, or the turbulent mob that goes Ly that name, has no fixed principles upon finance, unon the tarift, upon Civil-Service reform, or beyond s scrambio for the loayes and tishes. ' There are four Dem- ocratie dafly ncwnl;nnen here, but neither of them 1s recognlzed as the exponent of sound Democratic principles, for the sfnple reason, I suppose, because there are no sound Democratic rinciples kuown to exist since the Fond du Lac vlatformn gave them all away, Buch being thu cundition of affatrs, it fs cas) to see that some strong executive will is eed- ed,—some man with the elements of strength and popularity in him.must snse and bring order out of this chaos, or the party will go to pot. It looks to tho unprejudiced observer asif this was to be its fatc; atany rate, when he witnesscs the * confusion worse confounded '’ that thess Babel-tongued fellows wmake of politica. And Black scems to be about the only man get mamed for Mayor, and would také It. who could ~ muster these discordant cleinents Into line and lead them fo the ballot-box. His candidacy has some strong points that are worth considering. (1) Hc is a Gerioan, and tlus city contains 40,000 people who speak that language, (2) He is richi, and can tu{nply all the ward pollticians with the sincwa of war, and that will keep aliva thelr expectations and make then work, (3) lie lives In a $40,000 mansion, and, If he is clected, can entertaln mmmlflwml\', and all asges ** know thelr master's crib,” (§) Hefs n lauor-dealer, and we all know how potenttal that interest s about election-day, (5) Hels a good, practical, businees man, and would carry bis Ideas of econoiny and retrenchment iuto the city affbirs, where they are budly necded. (0) Ho has been a State Scoator for several terms, sud fllled otler Imromnl trusts, aud would make a very creditable Mayor, %‘) He has just been nominated; for Mayor by the Greenback- crs, and hus thus got the inside track slready. Thia is the way the inatter stands in the Cream City to-day, so far as the Democratic candldate {s concerned. But it may chaoge to- mMorruw. On. the Republican side the matter is still more vague and uncertain regarding the notn- fuce, Scverol namcs of prominent gentlemen have been suggested, but all of them positively decline. These are Mr. Edward Sanderson, Guido Pfister, Joun Plankinton, aud ex-Uov, Ludington, The last nanied has not yet de- clined, us 1 understand, but will not refuse if the nomination 18 offered to him, Ho has been twics elected Mayor, and knows the ins aud outs of our local politlvs better than any other man. If he should take the field, with thio prestige of previous suceess belindg him, he would maxe it decidudly lvely for the oppmlu{: candldate,who- ever lic inay be. Besides, the Republican weak- ness 1stheir strength. They know that the, cannot win unless they are thoroughly unites oo an unexceptionable candldate, and they are, therefore, full of hope, and determined to take cvicry advantage of the blunders of their coe- mics. o .
