A year ago last winter he took his family to Florida, where last January he met Luther Collier, a fine-appearing old gentleman of 04. The latter desired to board with the family and Mr. King consented, thinking Collier would be couipa&y for his family, as he was away frequently on business matters. The month following Collier and Mrs. Kiug eloped, her paramour being so poor that he borrowed $50 to get away with. The conple went to St. Louis, and Mr. King fallowed, but failed to find them, although he learned they had been married, his wife thus adding the crime of bigomy. Recently Mr. King was in ilokcesport, Pa., and learned that Collier -s as located in this city. On arriving here today he discovered that Collier was employed in the tube-works, and camed hi* arrest. The accused admits the charges made dy Mr. King in Sc. Louis and had recently received a letter lrom her. As soon as Collier is disposed of by the !aw Mr. King will go to St. Louis in search of bis wife. Hokxsdalx. Pa., Sept. 2.—Deputy Sheriff Eben H. Clark and apoaaeof polio* ran down Jones P. MoCabe, the wife-poisoner, who escapcd the day before that aet for his execution, bnt the murderer escaped in spite of the big odda against him. Clark and his men have been intermitently scouring the woods and fields of Mount Pleasant and Preston township ever since McCabe escaped. Yesterday they discovered him in a field unconcernedly at work making hay. Sheriff Clark went immediately in pursuit, ordering his men to sarrond the convict, bnt before the men could perfectly snrround the field McCabe found that he was in danger and ran like a deer through the woods. As the distance beween the officers and MoCabe was considerable he had quite a gcod start and the pnrsners had to abandon the ohase. The murderer is supposed to be now in the thick forest lying between Mount Pleasant and the interactions of the Newburg tnrnpike and Preston Center roads. As MoCabe is well acquainted with every foot of these woods, having since childhood been engaged in lumbering in them, he has the advantage of his followers. Depnty Clark has increased the nnmber of his men and they have formed a circle around thefosest and are moving slowly and carefully towards its center. There is strong talk among the people concerning the officers, negligence. Depnty Sheriff Clark declares Mo- Cabe's friends on the farm got warning of the intendent capture and gave the murderer a prearranged Bignal upon the dinner-horn.The Prices are SMmeMy Lro tat We are Bran CfoiM by tbe Constant Arrival of Nov Goods aai ait OlneS to MaMooi.

Particulars of the Croat Wreck in Prices "I had a talk with two young ladies, a good-looking blonde and a heart-winning brnnette," writes a Utah correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "One is IS, the other not over 20. Both are English girls and have Mormon parents. They believe in their church, bnt not in polygamy, and one of them has two brothers, both Mormons, who she says, would kill her if she became the seoond or third wife of any man. I opened the conversation by asking them in jest why they didn't get married. "Oh, it isn't because we haven't had chances,' said one of them half saucily. When I came here four years ago I wasn't in the town two weeks before I had 20 offers of marriage. Bnt they were all men who had wives, and some were old enough to be shot. I wouldn'tmarry in polygamy for all the world. My mother wonldn't let me do it, either. One old fellow, almost 75, with four wives on his hands, came to the house one day. He talked around for a while, and finally he told me he had been dreaming about me, and from this he went on with his nonsense until he aotually asked me to have him. I told him Fd slap his face if he said any more, but he went t° father and argned the matter with him until father told him to take care of the wives he had before he went looking for annotherone."'Washington, September 3.—A duel has ocoared within the last two days bet ween a secretary of the Mexican legation and the son of a Southern Congressman of note. As only five persons knew of the affair, and they have kept as quiet about it as rive persons could be, only very vague particulars are known. The quarrel begau some months ago, and the roasonfor it was that they were rivals for the good opinion of a beautiful young lady. Not wishing to drag her name in • public scandle, they managed to get into a fight in a billiard room at a summer resort near Washington, whore they and the lady were staying. The American gave a very positive opinion about a disputed shot. The Mexican hotly declared the American did not kuow what he was talking about. The American gave the retort uucourteous, aud the Mexican the lie direct. Thereupon the American knocked the Mexican dowu. A challenge by the latter followed, The American accepted and named bare knuckles as the Weapons. At daybrake thofollowing morninga 'il footring was measurod off. The yoang bloods stripped to the waist, and then followed an exibition which would have delighted the short-haired gon try, Both were good boxers, and a referee was chosen who was well up in science. The rivals exhibited great pluck aud endarauca, and it \vj<j not nntil the faces of both were pounJeu almost t® jelly that thaMexican failed to respond, when time was called and his second threw up the sponge. One of the parties has come to the city by a night train and is confined to his residence. The ether remains in his room at the summer resort hotel. Thusthe two young gent-Ionian managed to light about a young lady, while ostensibly settling a quarrel over a billiard shot and with genuiue American weapons, and a son of an old devotee of the code has inaugurated a more desirablo way of settling vital disputes than with pistols. Aug. 31.—Pranzinl, the murderer Regnanlt, her m»id and her maid'* did, was guillotined at 5 o'clock this tor 1 g. He made no confeession. Vast 9 « (waited about the place of execution ring the whole of the night and kept ifpi constant howling and yelling The dli was horrible. When the chaplain who wr to officiate at the execution arrived at 4:30 a. m. the mass of of people was so great that he was almost from reaohing the gate of the prison. Pranziui was awakened out of a sound sleep at 4:15 o'clock by the jailers. Father Beanquesne, chaplain of LaRonquette, entered the prisoner's cell and exhorted him to be Courageous. Franzini replied that he ha|| no fear, but regretted that the only favor he had asked, that of the permissive to see his mother, had been refused. He reiterated his profession of innocence, and mused to make confession to the priest, saying:— "Father, yon do your duty. I will do mine." Whilst being dressed for the block, Pranzini declared that he was glad that his life w« to be taken, as he preferred death to penal servitude for life. He reproached Chief of Police Taylor for having called,as Prantini alleged, false witness against him duriig his trial. When he nad been conducted to the scaffold, he appeared to be quiti calm and displayed considerable assurance. He kissed the crucifix presented to him by the priest when the latter profered the farewell embrace. Pranizini was at this moment skillfully grasped and suddenly thrown upon the guillotine. Its great knife fell and the murderer's head was severed from his body. The head was at once placed in a wagon and carried at a gallop to the Ivey Cemetry, where it waSjburied after the regular funeral cer- Dioity had been performed over it. The faculty of medicine claimed the body and it was surrendred to them. Pranzini had a remarkable career. He was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1856. He was educated by the Christian Brothers and spoke over a dozen languages with vernacular fluency. His first ofl'ense was stealing from the general postoffice at Cairo. He was imprisoned, but upon being releasad h ad no difficulty in securing employment in several important business houses. Then he drifted to Turkey,where be became a courier for Gen. Skobeleff, and was implicated in the murder of that officer's mother, whom he was escorting to Russia. Pranzini fled to India, bnt on account of crimes committed thero he returned to Egypt, where he became Lord Wolseley's interpreter in the expedition to the Soudan. He next turned up in Paris as a professional blackmailer, selecting as his victims usually women of middle age. His personal appearence was of great service to him in this peculiar calling. He was above the average French stature, with coal-black hair, a carefully-trimmed beard, excedingly small and delicatelyformed hands, and a quiet and somemhat effeminate manner,and with all these characteristics he combined extraordinary muscular strength. His correspondence, which was secured after his arrests, shows that many who had fallen a prey to bis persistent advances where ladies of high rank and also a young American lady, the daugher of a New York banker. It is believed that he murdered Marie Regnault in order that he might secure money to go to America and marry the banker's daughter. Two men FhIhIIj Miol. Killed for Strikingn mi. Her Lait Sleep.
