cee + RTS + meee, THE CHICAGO ~ A MADMAN'S DREAM, jt Buries Him in the Depths of i Lake Michigan. : Deplorable Death of Mr. D. P. Newell, the Real-Estate Man. He Fancied that Lead Was a Lighter Substance than Cork, ~ and, Equipped with a Life-Preserver of That Metal, a Goodrich Boat into the Bosom fie Tamped from i of the Lake. fis Mind Was Unhinged by Business Cares— Agony of His Sorrowing Family. ‘ me many friends of Mr. D. P. Newell, tho el-known West Side real-estate man, who had Hs office in the’Cole Block,on the southwest fomerof Madison and Halsted streets, will re- gretto hear: of his disappearance under circum- nances which leave no doubt that, while labor- ngundera temporary hallucination of a most extraordinary description, ho has thrown him- gif into the middle of Lake Michigan, beneath hose waters he is now beyond a. doubt lying, never to rise agaiu—never again, for reasons hich will appear later on, to bolcoked upon by pis friends on this earth. Within the past few days tho most intimate friends of the unfortunate gentleman have no- ticed a slight chonge in his demeanor, but none of them'bave thought the matter of sufticient consequence to attach any importance to it. fis family, who reside at No. 403 West Monroe greet, and who are plunged in the deepest grief over the sad event, have, of course; had his de- meanor brought more closely to their attention than outside friends, and they report circum- stances connected with his late conduct which, jathe light of subsequent events, clearly prove that the gentleman has been temporarily in- jae for spells during the past weck. Mrs. Newell, who before her marriage was Miss Youlse Cole, the danghter of David Cole, one of Chicago's oldest citizens, now deceased, in- formed 2 TuIBUNE reporter yesterday that THE YILST SERIOUS INTINATION ji. Newell gave of mental disturbance was at mon on Wednesday Inst. He came homo to dipneras usualon thatday, when she noticed that his face was flushed and he seemed more wearied than he had been for some time. She _ remerked this, and asked him. what was tho cause ofthe trouble. Hesaidthat he did not want her to be troubled, and firmly declined to confide the cause ‘of his worry to her on that ac- count. The family wanted something from Madison street, and Mrs. Newell wason the point ofgending one of the children for it when Mr. Newell suggested that he could go more quickly, andwent. He wasavery long time gone, and when on his return Mrs. Newotl asked him what had detained him he said that he had wandered away over totho corner of May and Hubbard streets. When there he suddenly came to bim- self, and was 80 surprised that he asked himself the question, ‘‘ How on eurth did I come here?” He complained of fatigue, and satdownin a chair, acting in a very dull manner, quite at “sariance with bis usual habit, ne praymg with the children as a rule during the dinner hour, After he had gotten seated he twirled his hands together in a peculiar way, and ut the Jame time al! expression faded out of his bright and vivacious face. His little daughter laughed athis appearance, and this drew the attention bf the mother more closely to him when it be- same apparent that he had lapsed into uncon- selousness. She immediately yot a handker- thief and cold water and bathed his head, when tesuddenly gave a long sigh and expressed deep pleasure at the sensation which the cold water produced. He regained at once his usual sivacity, asked briskly how long he had been in the house, and wanted to know if the dinner was not ready. He then made a very hearty meal, and departed apparently in his usual health and spirits. On retu: home that night he seemed perfectly natural, and pn Thursday morning he went. to work in seem- good health. At noon he came home to di ner, stil looking well, and played with the chi dren as usual. Mrs. Newell asked him how he felt, and he answered: **My head troubles me; ithasafull feeling.” She advised him to get a Straw hat in the place of the felt one he was weanng, and to ride instead of walking, as the ‘warm weather was evidently having au ill effect upon him. After dinner he kissed his wife and little daughter Fanny, there being nothing in his manner to suggest that he had anything in his mind of an extraordinary nature. ‘He then went away, and his wife bas not seen him since. Before further with the story, it may be si it the family rela- tions of Mr. Newell were of a singu- larly happy description. His wife, a lady: of fine education and rare accomplishments, and the five children who are the fruit of the marriage, which occurred sixteen years ago, were devotedly attached to him, and he recip- rucated their affection with a conjugal and pa- temal love that no untoward circumstances seemed to diminish. THE ONLY SHADOW CAST OVER THE HAPPINESS OF THE HOME ‘was caused by the fact that Mr. Newell's busi- pes affairs have been anything but prosperous of late. Mrs. Newell, as daughter of David Cole, who left a lanre estate, came into posses- Wonof considerable landed property, which, yer, is somewhat incumbered, and, though ¢ still possesses considerable property, aclause inher father’s will prevents her from selling it until she is 35 years of age, which she will not be for a year to come. The dullness which bas rufed in the real-estate market has affected Mr. Newell's business, and for some time past bis circumstances we been straitened. This was the svle cause of trouble, and even this could not pre- Yeot him from being © aeind aud foving aoe very rare exceptions of late, a uniformly cheerful husband and father. ; When Mr. Newell did not come home to sup- er Thursday evening his wife felt considerably alarmed, fearing he sigur have suffered a re- carrence of the trouble already observed, and the waited anxiously for bis arrival. At about So'clock in the evening 2 messenger-boy ar- rived at the house with u letter addressed to her inhishandwriting, and bearing upon the e1 Selope algo the words, “Not to be delivered un- wee” She opened it burriedly, and a faint HER AMAZEMENT AND AGONY fan be gleaned when its contents wero found to dens follows: ‘Treaoxt House, Curcaco, June 24, 1880.— MrDear Wire: [ have finally struck’ some- thing which will bring in money and, I hope, happiness to ull of us.

In the ‘evening Mr. Cole. brother of Mrs. Newell, left on the boat for Grand Haven, and nothing was left the anxious wife but to wait for the return yesterday morning of the boat {1 hich Mr. Newell had taken passage Thurs evening. The boat's time of arrival is 5:30 o. m.. and at 4 o clock she started down, hoping that some favoring: gale, might bring the bout, with possi- bly some good news, to port earlicr than usual, yy ben. jae boat arrived at the usual hour Mrs. ae {cuaen ‘UPON THE OAPTAIN and show im the letter which she had ceived from,her husband. The Captain rend ie and stated that from whut he saw of Mr. Newell while on board the boat he should judge nothing was further from his mind than the commission of the deed which the letter stated he intended to acoomplish. He was pleasant and calm jn his demeunor, and retired to his stateroom at the usual time. In the morning no one had noticed bin a @ same time mo one had missed him. This was tho substance of his information, and, taken altogether, its nature wus cheering to the wife in that it ered- ited her busband with a natural demeanor while on the boat. Later In the morning, how- ever, the Captain returned to the house Dearing in his arms a parcel. It hnrdly needed woman's instinct to read disaster in his features, and the old Inke Captain was uly moved xs he, in re~ spunse to tho palntully eager questioning of the wife, acknowledged it the parcel contained the clothes of the missing man. which had been found in the state-room. The bundle was opened and the clothes of the missing man, minus only his shirt, and boots, and socks, were found just as his letter had indicated’ they would be. The shirt-studs hud been re- moved and placed in a waistcoat pock- et. The pockets. were all searched and every vestige of paper was engerly scanned in the hope, or dread, that it would contain’ some word telling. of the man’s Intentions, but noth- ing of the kind-was found. Two pieces of paper, which evidently bad ‘contained 2 parcel of some kind, were with the bundie, and theso were closely scrutinized by the wife. One of them, white of color, was found to contain ina corner which lapped over somewhnt 2 plece of cork of the kind usea in fitting stems in pipe- wis. The other,a brown paper, revealed to the intelligent glunce ot the woman whose whole soal was in ber work certain bright cir- oe which, upon a ciose investigation, proved LEAD MARKS. ‘The supposition at once arose that In the white paper had been wrapped up some corks, possibly Strung tugether, while the other paper, beyond 2 doubt, cuntained the “lend jacket” referred toin the letter of the missing man. The evidence of these silent witnesses seemed conclusive, and the kindest of the bereaved woman's friends could hardly sttempt to buoy her up with false hopes. The inevitable verdict of all the circumstantial evidence was that Mr. Newell, his mind unhinged by business troubles, had lost his life in the pursuit of one of the most extraordinary hallucinations which ever pos- sessed human brain. Mrs, Newell stated to the reporter yesterday that her husband was of uw very ingenious turn, he hnving patented several of ms inventions, one of which he beheved, and she concurred with him. only required copital to make it a financial success. There is no doubt that the brain, weakened with worry, possibly deranged by the receut heat, be- came controlled by the ruling idea that’ the “lead jacket was one of the greatest inven- tions of the age. Its manufacture was a matter of very litte trouble, and, fully contident in its efficacy, the unhappy man cast himself from the steamer into the midiake waters, and only the cold moon saw the puny. efforts he made as the leaden weight, in which be was trusting for sup- port, dragged him beneath the waves. The poobablities, aro that the body, on account of its metallic attachment, WILL NEVER RISE TO THE SURFACE. In his letter the man alluded to his jacket us costing $2.50, and to the price of lead as six cents per pound. would make the weight of the jacket about forty pounds, sufficient under the circumstances to ceep the body under. The tempceruture of the water in Lake Michigan's depths isabout an even 40 desrees, ‘0 that the decomposition of the body would be very slow. The only hope of its re- covery would be by dragging, and, when the extent of water to be covered and its depth are considered, the futility of such n course of action will become at once apparent. : ‘THE LAST PERSON WHO SAW MR. NEWELL on the evening that he left the city was Mr. Si Coan, the proprietor of the Tremont House billlard-room. He and Mr. Newell often hada game of pool together, and Thursday evening the lutter came in and took up u cue. Before doing so he laid down a couple of parcels he was carrying. One of them, Mr. Coan says, was a white one, which he laid upon the window-sill, just above the sofa-scat, to the south of the pool-table. The otner, a ‘brown parcel, he placed upon the ground beside it. While the game was in progress, Mr. Coan, happening to sit down, lifted up the white par. cel and found that it was very hght, giving him the idea that it contained an article of summer wearing apparel. The other parcel he did not touch. Mr. Newell was perfectly natural in his behavior, lost three games of pool, paid for them, and departed at a few utes past 5 o'clock, leaving the parcels, which be had apparently forgotten, behind bim. At about 6 o’cloek ie returned hurriedly and seemed full of business. io stated incidentally that he intended to leave town, and, getting some note paper, be sat down in the reading-room and wrote a letter.- Having finished it, he returned to the billlard-room, got his parcels, and went away. This was the last which Mr. Coan saw of him. 9 ‘The distress of the family over Mr. Newell’ disappearance and undoubted death is very great. They are most anxious that all that can be done towards determining his fate should be done, and throw themselves upon the charity of all lake men, relying upon them to keep a look- out for tho body and to supply to Birs. Newell. at 40$ West Monree street, with any information regarding ‘him which may come into their pos- session. ———>$___ . _.. THE WEATHER. OFFICE OF THE CuIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, Wasuinetox, D.

Frank Short Creates a Sensation by - Winning the Two-Mile- ‘Heat Race. Matagorda and Blue Lodge Also Come to the Front—Track Talk, Ete. Thero was plenty of first-class racing at the Jockey Club track yesterday, each of the four eventsupon the program bringing out a fine field of horses, gnd In all but one race the strug- gle for first place was a hotly contésted one. The exception was the Tremont House Stakes, a mile dash for 2-year olds, which Hindoo won with the greatest case. There were not a few who imagined that the heavy track would be in favor of sume of the other starters in this race, but Mr. Swigert’s colt won with even more ease than he did in the Criterion Stakes Monday. Cash Clay, Cammie F., and Peru wore greatly fancied by the betting men in the two-mile heat race, but although Peru won the first heat with apparent exse, she was beaten handily in the second by Frank Short, who won the third heat as he pleased. This race wasaptly describod by a sporting man as “a throat- cutter,” und the wounded in the viciaity of the pool box were certainly very numerous. The previous performances of Short hnd not been of a character to warrant the belief that ne could yo two miles at the pace that tha others in yesterday's race were certain to carry him, and Friday might.be sold for $15 and $20 in $400 pools, Those who backed him reaped a rich harvest, indeed, while the smart ones who put their money on the favorits fell heavily. ‘The handicap purse, which closed the day’s sport, INTRODUCED A NOVELTY, in that the owner of each horse was allowed to name the welght the animal should carry, and in consequence the Nght-weight jockeys were in great demand. It was captured handily by Matagorda, Charley Ross and Tripoli having « warm fight for second place, which the former succeeded in winning by a nose. THE TREMONT HOUSE STAKES waS the first race on the card, the ‘horses ¢1 paged in it being called up at 2:45 o'clock. No de- lay gett occurred ut the start, Mr. Cadwallader ting them uway ‘in nice style on the first attempt, For an instant Lizzie S., who was at the pole, had the best of it, but at the tirst turn Hindoo, who had the out- side place, ran into the lead, Ripple and Lizzie S. being on even terins for second place. Hii doo ut once shot clear of them, however, aud took the track, opening up a jead of two lengths before the quarter puie was reached. Lizzie S. in the meantime hnd fallen back to third place, being a length behind Ripple, while Moses brought up therear. Thoy ran: in Indian file down the backstretch, but at the three-quarter Pole Lizzie S. and Moses Joined ltlpple, and the three raced together into the homestretch, Moses being soon beaten. Half way home the boy on Ripple began applying the whip freely, but the colt could not respund, being beaten a length for’second place, Hindoo winning in 1:48 by half a length. THE SUMMARY.

The betting on the race was lively, Cash Clay being tirst choice, Cammic F. second, und Peru third. It was nearly.3:30 o'clock before the jockeys were weighed and the horses brought to the string for the first heat—a delay that appeared wholly unnecessary. After one fnise ‘start the drum tapped to a very poor send-otf, Leon and Jim Malone being far in the rear of the others and headed the wrong way of the track. At the south turn Frank Short showed in front, with Sistova in close uttendance and the rest at their heels, They ran thus to the quarter-pole, but going down the backstretch Cash Clay moved out of the ruck and took third piace: 7 the time three-quarters of a mile had een jrone Sistova found the pace too strongand fell back, Jin Malone coming along and beating Cash Clay in a brush for sccuud place.

Spectal Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune. GatEna, June 25.—The flood has subsided, and the water in Galena River is now grad- ually eoing down, although the city is still partially inundated. The water commenced raising about eight days ago, and since that time ‘& vast amount of damage has been done in.this city by the invading tide. Among the number of business houses and manufactur- ing establishments that have been compelled to suspend operations by reason of the water are the following: Barrows, Taylor & Co.’s mill and lumber-yards; W. Haskins & Co., Jumber-dealers; Scheerer, Armbruster & Co.’s extensive furniture-factories; John Fritz’s sash, door, and blind factory and planing mill; the livery-stables of Comstock & Hun- kins, and J.

M. yan’s packing-house; torether with a num- ber of saloons, private residences, and minor business houses. Large numbers of men have been thrown out of employment, and 3 Jurge amount of valuable. property damaged. The Custom-House and Post-Oftice, and the City-Hall, are surrounded by water, and raised sidewalks have been built leading to the main entrances of those buildings. The water is now even with Main street, and six inches more. would have flooded that thoroughfare. The like has never before been seen by our pres- ent inhabitants, save one, Capt. D. Smith Harris, who describes the great flond of 1828 as twenty-nine inches higher than‘the pres- entone. The track of the Southern Wiscon- sin Railroad is under water for 2 distance of four miles north from this city, necessitat- ing asuspension of business, much to the damage of the Chicago & Northwestern Company. and the great inconvenience of the people living along the line of the narrow- gauge. A yastamount of freight, in the way of mineral, grain, and cattle, is awaiting shipment East at Platteville, Benton, Elmo, McCormick’s, Lancaster, and_other points onthe Southern Wisconsin Road. There were hauled over that road, before the flood, an average of twenty-five car-loads of stuff aily. BURLINGTON, IA. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, BorwiNcto, Ia., June 26.—The Mississippi River at this point has been on the rampage for the past week, and has attained a hight exceeding anything in. the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The bottom lands opposit this city on the Illinois side are submerged back to the bluffs, involving the total de- struction of crops and much other property, and compelling the inhabitants of several farm-houses to bandon their homes and seek safcty in more elevated localities. Along the lowa side the bottom lands are inundated, and crops destroyed and cattle drowned. For a portion of to- day the river was full of cord-wood which had been piled on several islands above. -One man is said to have lost 10,000 cords. ‘he steamboat warehouses.in thiscity are flooded, as ire some of the lumber-yards, but no damage has yet resulted. This morn- ing the water had ‘reached the cellars of a nuinber of business houses in the lower part of town, necessitating a removal of goods. As the iinmense surface covered by the water renders a.rapid rise impossible, no fears of serious damage in the city are felt. ‘The rise in the past twenty-four hours was five inches. KEOKOUK. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Keoxor, Ja., June 26.—The river at this point is still booming, having risen eight inches within the past twenty-four hours. 1t now stands seventeen feet and five inches aboye low water mark, being one foot above the big rise of 1876.

Monrrear, June %.—The inerease of $51,042 in the receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway during the past week over the correspunding week of last year, and a gen- eral increase of $815,538, are largely duc to the connection mad Port Huron with the Chicago & Grand Trunk Railway, giving an outlet to Chicago. A large accession of live- stock traftic since the Government prohibi- tion on American cattle passing through Canada was removed in April last has like- wise helped the receipts. Immigration and ordinary passenger’ traffic has also largely increased, the movement of people from the Eastern States and Canada to the Western States contributing to the increase. "Lhe tenders for the $250,000 city 5 per cent Ioan were opened to-day, when it was found that nineteen offers, amounting to $1,785,000, were made. The Dank of British North America made the best offer, being willing to take $100,000 at 144 per cent premium, and an additional $100,000 at2 per cent. No tender under par-was received. The bank received the amount asked for, ard the balance will be alloted hereafter. ‘The assignees of the Mechanics’ Bank have taken action against the defaulting share- holders, under the liability clause in the Banking act. The contest between the Grand Trank Rail- way and the South Shore Railway Company is exeitinga great deal of interest and dis cussion here. All kinds of rumors and stories are afloat. ‘Ihe papers devote whole columns to the advocacy ot onie side or the other. Probably no public project ever start- ed has called forth so much bitter feeling on both sides, and the result of the Parliament- ary fight is looked forward to with the keen- est interest. é “A. rumor was current to-day that the City Passenger Railway bad been tampering with some of the civic Aldermen by offering them stock to secure their support for the new charter. The President of the Company indignantly denies there is any truth in the reports, and offers a reward for the discovery of its author.

Spectal Dispatch to Tha Chicago Tribune, MonTreaL, June 26,—The bark Cygnet is now being loaded at this port with a general cargo for British Columbia, consisting of agricultural implements, rails and spikes, re- fined sugar, cordage, provisions, and 2 gen- eral cargo of merchandise suitable to the re- quirements of a new country. This is the initial attempt to open direct trade between the older Provinces of the Dominion and British Columbia, and thus supplant the American traders, who have hitherto had the monopoly of the latter market. The re- sult of the enterprise is fraught with inter- est to the commercial community. The Cygnet will sail about the 29th inst. A company has been formed here for heat- Ing houses by steam from the outside. ‘he new steamship Lake Manitoba, lately added to the Beaver Line, has arrived here on her first trip from Liverpool. She was built on the Clyde, by the builders of the Cunard line, and is a-magniticent specimen of marine architecture er dimensions are as follows: Length, 355 feet; beam, 40 feet; depth, 31 feet 6 inches; gross capacity, S,82L tons; registered capacity, 2,159. She is fitted up with engines of 40) horse-power nominal, or 2,500 horse-power indicated. She has accommodation for 900 steerage and thirty cabin passengers. A special feature is her capacity for carrying cattle, which is equal to 600 head. The Company commenced. twelve years ago with sailing ships, but is now gradually replacing them with steam- ers. .\nother steamer is to be added im- mediately, giving the Company a weekly Jine froin this port. With reference to the much-talked-of visit to Europe proposed by the Sixty-fifth Regi- ment, Col. Ouimetsays that nothing has been arranged. @ idea, however, had been suggested so late in the season, it is scarcely likely that it will be carried out this year. The Colonel is very hopeful of the result, and looks at the plan rather as one calcu- lated to bring Canada prominently before the Mother Country than as a purely mili- tary expedition. Ite does not believe the ex- pedition will in any event cost over $25,000, while, if the contemplated arrangements be successfully carried out, it will cost the volunteers next to nothing, although the bat- talion will cross the sea 400 strong. Col. Ouimet says that, with the exception of marehing and taking part in’ any reviews in progress, the battalion would not make any mnjlitary displa: Intimation had been_re- ceived that the attentions of Sir A. T. Galt would be at the services of the battalion; and Col. Ouimet had also received assurances from France that the most cordial welcome would be extended to himself and men there, LOCAL CRIME. STABBING AFFRAY. ‘There was a fight yesterday morning at the rearof the Stock-Yurds, which resulted in the stabbing of Timothy Foley by Dantel Redmond. Foley, who is a packing-house man. lives near Redmond’s house, the latter keeping a place for the accommodation of packing- house hands. Tho diliculty originated over anold trouble between the two men, Richmond claiming that Foley had interfered in his family relations. The two men got into a dispute in front of the doarding-house. After a few minutes’ talk, Redmond ordered Foley away. and finally got a butcher-knife with which to drive himoff. Foley struck Redmond withustick. The lattergrabbed it out of his hand and stabbed him with the knife in the left side, just above the groin, so badly that the entrails protruded. Notwith- standing this terrible wound, Foley bad strength enough to walk from the house to the police station, on reaching which, how- ever, he feli. down, He was sent at once to the County Hospital, after an examina- tion by a doctor, who said the wound was an ox- cecdingly dungerous one. An officer was sent over to the scene of_the stubbing with orders to arrest Redmond. When the oificer got there, he said toRedmond that the man was danger ously burt. Mrs. Redmond, who was present, told’ the officer to * tuke the scoundrel along,” which would seem to indicate that her feelin; for her husband were not particularly cordial, and that there might be some shadow of truth in Redmond’s claim that his wife's affections had been estranged from him by Foley. On the way to the station Redmond told the officer that Foley had given his wife some poison a year ago to give to him, and that the hired girl had gotten hold of the stuif, but turned it over to him, and that he had hidden it. Foley is about 35 yeurs old. Red- mond is 8 mun of 60, with a son aged 24. His wife is believed to be about 38, Redmond’s character has always been good. the only difficul- ty which he bes had with the law being that he was indicted twice or thrice for selling in- toxicating Nquors.. There have been, it is understood, several serious difficulties during the Inst two years growing out of his domestic relations. ‘A TRtBUNE reporter was at the County Hospital when Foley reached thore in the Tran- sit House wagon. At once upon being taken Into the Hospital the house surgeon, Dr. Mur- phy, made a slight examination of the wound, quring which time Officer Hradman stated tothe reporter that the first tne Town of Lake poles Knew about tne affray wus when Foley, his clothing saturated with blood, reached the station ut the Town-Hall and requested a warrant for the arrest of Redmond, who, he sitid, was drunk and carrying things with a bigh bund at his bourding-house. Before he could explain farther he feil to the ground faint from the loss of bi physician was hastily summoned, and, after a hasty dressing was. put. upon the wound, Foley was hurried off to the Hospital, and officers were dispatched in all directions after Redmond. The wounded man was given. a cot in Ward * A of the Surgical Department, where ‘bis wound was probed and prop- erly dressed. ‘The doctors ascertained that the weapon used was a butcher's knife about eight inches long ahd quite narrow and thin- bladed. ‘The wound was intilcted by a thrust, and the knife went through the vest, the waist- bund of the pantaloons, and two shirts. The doctor’s probe showed that it had gono clear through the xbdominal wall on the left sid2, and about midway between the lower ribs and the groin. How far it had gone into the abdominal cavity they could not tell, butatallevents the wound was of the most serious nature, and in all probability would re- sult fatally. It wus with the greatest difficulty that Foley could be induced to speuk about the atfray, and when asked who cut him he replied with a smile, “On! it don’t matter,” “Was it Dan Redmond?" inquired the re- rter. Pe Well, yes; it was,” was the reply. Coaxed on from this point, Foley spoke briefly. “T wus forced to quit work at the packing- house Friday on account of bowel compluint, ‘and, having no money, J asked Poter Farwell to loan me some, when I met him last cvening. He bourds with edmond, and I bourd four houses away. He ‘snid be would lend me some, and went up-stairs to get it, and Tleaned against the front of Redmond’s office waiting fur him. Suddenly Redmond came out drunk, und upon seeing ine Suid: * Isthat you? You dirty dog,” and then muttering something about tixing me, he ran bitck in the house. to the kitchen, Uthink, {don’t know, but think he must bave youe as far as the kitchen,—where he gota knife. I saw bim coining and grabbed a stick to protect myself. [hit him a gvod blow, but he clinched and stuck the knife into me. Then he ran back “into the house. ‘That is alll.” “Were you and Redmond bad friends?” ‘0, Ldon’t think so. He wns drunk.” “Didn't you boara at one time with Red- mond?’ “ Yes, for two years or so." “Did you quit of your own accord, or how?” “Oh, things became disugrecable and [ left; but there.were no hard feelings.” “*You were in the habit of guing to Redmona’s house frequently, were Fou not? When were you there lust?” “Certainly; I went there very often. I was thore yesterday forenoo! “Was Redmond there: “No; only his wife and daughter. I talked with them for some time.” The pain which Foley was suffering, anda feeling that he hud already said too much, made ‘quit. after this statement. and, ufter protesting | once again that he kuew of no eninity between himself and edmond closed bis eyes, and refused to answer any more questions. He ts a sithe, well-built fellow of 35 years, but apparently: 1s slightly in il-bealth. He’ has héavy auburn hair, cropped brown mustuche, and in appearance is a typical packing-house ALLEGED INFANTICIDE. Early yesterday morning Mrs. Augusta Olson, who rents out furnished rooms at No. 76 Jeffer- son street, discovered the dead body of a male infant beneath and behind the bowl of the water-closet, She reported at once at the West Madison Street Station, and Lieut. Barber set out to investigate. Upon going to the house he ascertained that two young women were occupying one of the rooms, and that onc of thetwo was sick in bed. He questioned the latter closely. She said her name was Mary McCormick, that she was 20 years of age, and. had been in this city only about three weeks from St Paul, close, a heavy. Minn. As to the child, she said that she was taken suddenly and violently ill at o'clock Friday night, and upon going to the water-closet tras compelled to remain there for two anda half hours. She disliked to call ns- sistance, fearing that medical attendance would be thought necessary, and for which she had no nioney to pay. She says the infant was still-born, but the police have their doubts about this. ‘The father of the chila, she says, is George How- ard, a traveling agent who frequently visited St. Paul. As the young woman was without attendance or friends, she was taken to the County Hospital. A post-mortem examination of the child will be made to in order to determine whether or not the child was born alive, und the inquest will be completed in afew days. The prevailing impression 1s that the child died for lack of care atits birth, and that the mother cannot be heid criminally ac- countable for its death. Mary’s companton knew nothing of the birth, and was not taken into custody by the police. ‘THE JUSTICES. Jessie Dixoa was before Justice Brown yester- day charged with selling mortgaged property to the value of $221,0n complaint of John M. Smythe. She was put under bonds of $500 to appear July 1, and was committed to jail in de- fault of bail.

Mrs. Mary Waldone, tho proprietress of @ house on Wabash avenue, went before Justice Hammer yesterday and swore out wurrants for the arrest of Denms Long,a stonecutter, on charges of assault with fatent to kill Mrs. Clark, and threats to Kill hia wife, Johanna Long. Itis ulleged that he bent Mrs. Clark with a club, afterward kicking her brutally, and thea threatencd to kill Mrs. Waldone. He says that the women he assaulted wore try! to keep his wife from him. Justice Hammer held him over tothe Criminal Court on both charges in bonds of $2,500, and he was sent over to jail.

Tho following duy Snell went to Wheaton, and fdentifled the rig, not as his own, butas Perrine’s, and returning to the city notified Perrine and claimed the $25 reward. Perrine refused to pay it, but went to Wheaton and re- covered his rig. A fow days luter Detective Borgan recovered Mr. Snell’s rig. Suit is now brought by Snell ayuinst Perrine for the $25 re- ward, and the members of the police force cog- nizant of the facts are subpoenied ns witnesses.
