A MARRIED MAN LOVES A BEAUTIFUL WO- MAN—SHE MARRIES ANOTHEK—THE OLD LOVER CUTS HEK THROAT WITH A RAZOR. Richard Shannon deliberately murdered Mrs. riectore Bice, at 3 o'clock Monday af ternoon in the Vintage Of Waterford, N.Y. Six ¥ears ago Mrs. Bice, whose malaen DAM Was Ella Miller, kept house for Shannon some. where out west. He became infatuated with her, and, although he afterward married and became the father of three children, his ador- ation for his early love seems to have contin- ued. Shannon and family reside at Cohoes. He drinks heavily, but not incessantiy, and carries on a furniture establishment. He has followed the woman from place to place, and Monday afternoon inquired the way to her home. “He was sober and seemed to act per- feetly rational. She invited him in and treat- ed him courteously. Several women, servants were around the house altending to their du- ies. and overheard the conversation. He urged her to. go ith him, She de- clined, siating that was happy with husband and home. aud she repelled his overs of money with which he was provided. She showed him the door and was lightly hum s.."& a tune when he suddenly drew a rezor from bis coat pocket and cut her throat from ear to car. The gasn was terrible, she stag. gered through two rooms, rested on a lounge and expired in fifteen minutes, va ing at lier throat to stop the biood. a beautifal woman of twenty-four years, and was only married last Wednesday, having re- cently met with her husband for the first time at Lake George. After committing the terri- ble deed, Shanuon started for the river, which was hear by, with the apparent purpose of sui- cide. But a hostler heard the cry of murder and Sauhe him. Thena frightfulstruggle en- sued The murderer, who seemed crazed, tried to cut his antagon with the dangeroys Weapon, and made desperate attempts toslash him abont the head aud limbs, but the unfort- unate man was finally subdued with the assisi- ance of others and placed in the Saratoza couvty jail at Ball-ton. On the way up he begged the bystanders to kill him. He said that he had been insane for years over the irl, and now he wanted todie. He tried to hang himself in the cell, but was prevented. Mrs. Bice’s husband is almost demented. A tel gram to-day says that Shannon has committed suicide in his cell. YELLOW FEVER respondent of the St. sends the followin; fever incidents of 1567: “ While pestilence was raging in Galveston, Dr. Dowell was in charge ot the city hospital. Although the situation was a grave one, not a few ludicrous incidents occurred. On ‘one occasion a hack-driver named Jenkins was brought in with the fever. He was out of his head,and the doctor told him But the man wanted to go back to the city, and fell to cursing the doctor hecause he would not let him. He followed the doctor around right ee foling, him he intended to ‘thrash,’ whip and‘drub him severely if ever he caught him out of the hospital. Jenkins recovered, and is now ‘driving’ in Phila- deiphia, but never molested the physician. On another occasion an old sailor of great physical strength was admitted with the fever on him. He became raging delirious, and wanted ay oe up. Nurses were scarce, and, as it would take anyhow four strong men to keep him down on the mattresses. Dr. Dowell ordered him_to be tied down to the bedstead with ropes. This was done, and the surgeon proceeded on his rounds. Four or five hours afterward, Dr. Dowell was out in the yard of the hospital, and was astonished on seeing the sailor coming down stairs with his bed, mat- tresses, blankets and quilts all securely tied on his back. “*Where are you going?’ asked the physician. ‘U p town, your honor; it’s too hot for me here.” ‘You'll do no such thing,’ replied the doctor, who ordered him tied dowa again. They carried him up stairs and har- nessed him down tighter than ever. But he began raving again, and, taking his bed on his back as before, rushed out on the porch, jumped to the ground, struck his head against a post, and, strange to say, finally recvyereds and is now a bar-man in Galves- yn.” CIDENTS.—A Texas core Louis Globe- Democrat incid: nts of the yellow How MEN Can Live aT GREAT HEIGHTS.— There has been an interesting correspondence in the London Times as to the degree of com- fort with which men can live at great heights. Mr. Webber, writing from the Grindelwald, in Switzerland, to Monday’s Times, states that in Thibet he has lived for months together at a height of more than 15,000 feet above the level of the sea, and that the result was as follows: His pulse, at normal heights only 63 per mi- ute, seldom fell below 400 per minute during the whole time he was at that level. His re- spanons were often twice as numerous in he minute as they are atordinary levels. A run of 100 yards would quicken both pulse and. respiration more than a run of 1.000 yards at the sea level, and the higher the level, the greater the difficulty of walking or running fast. He crossed the shoulder of the Gurla Mandhata at a height of some 20,00 feet, and found the att difficulty in getting his breath quickly enough, had frequent and vio- lent headaches, and found that his native guides and companions suffered much more even than he did. Clearly, the physical con- stitution of man has not been naturally select- ed so as to admit of great variations in the ai- titude of his dwelling piac NoRTH CakOLINa proposes to introduce the bell-punch for registering votes at elections. Then the popular song will be: Wen he receives a vote the inspectare Will heaes in the presence of the electare. A dem. check slip for a white votare, A rep. check slip for a black niggare, And Ind. check slip for a bold boltare, All in the presence of the electare. The above is from the New York World.

Greenpoint, quarreled with a tenant named Thomas ao and in the fight Kelly bit one of Russell’s fingers. Shortly after the finger began to swell and to show Signs of poioning, sothat it was necessary to amputate it. The Polson appeared to have spread beyond the inger, however, and in another month it was found necessa.y to take olf the entire hand. After the second operation had been per- formed Russell continued to grow worse, and his left arm and the left side of his body began to swell. It was considered then that he would not recover, and Kelly, the man who bit him. was arrested and remanded to the Raymond street jail to await the result of Russell’s in- juries. Two weeks ago Bussell became un- conscious, and did not ver consciousness ubtil the time of his death, which took place yesterday morning. An inquest will be held. TN. ¥. World, 19th.

A Cook's TERRIBLE REVENGE.—Alex You- ree, who lives in the Cairo neighborhood, came very near going up last Monday morn- ing. He had a colored woman in his employ named Callie Hibbett, who refused to cook on Sunday, and on being brought to an account by Mis, Youree gave her very impudent lan- uage. She told her husband about it when he came in, and he pushed her about, not vio- lently, as sort of punishment for the insult to his wife. The affair seem to be at an end, but the fcllowing morning, about daylight, the Begro woman set about her revenge. Mrs. Youree had arisen and was in the kitchen with the cook preparing breakfast. The cook poured out a large bucket of hot, boiliag water, went to Mr. Youree’s chamber, where he lay sleeping on his side, and poured the Water into his left ear. She ran out, seized her baby and = off, Youree awoke dazed, scarcely conscious of what had hurt him. After afew moments, getting his head clear, he pursued the woman, who had several hundred yards the start. He discerned her crossing the lot of a neighbor, John Y. Parker, who was feeding his stock. He cried to him and he stopped her until Youree came up. He was disposed to kill her, but the cooler counsel of Parker dissuaded him and he did not strike her. She was brought to Gallatin, after examination, and placed in jail by Judge Moss for trial at the circuit court.—[ Gallatin 1 (Tenn.)
