Latent Particular* of (he noubte.Trag • JOHN D0RAJTS TERRIBLE FRENZY. Nettled Willi Nholfuna. Cleveland, O., Feb. 25.—When Mrs Wheller, wife of Benj. Wheller, was murdered a year ago, Pat Graves a careless, good-natural street-car driver, was arrested for the crime. He easily proved his innocence and was discharged. Then Wheller, rich, old and queer, was charged with the murder, and he, too, was discharged. Graves then sued Wheller for 125,000 damages. The case attracted widespread attention and several of the best-known lawyers in Ohio became interested in it. When the day of trial came the lawyers of Wheller surprised the lawyers for Graves by presenting a receipt signed by Graves, showing that he had settled the case for $1,500. There was a wild time then among the lawyers whose hope of a fee seemed blasted. To-day the attorneys met to enter settlement on the court records. In the midst of the proceedings Graves' lawyers presented au affidavit declaring that he had no recollection of a settlement being made, and asserting that if there was a settlement he was drunk when it was entered into. Then Wlieller's attorneys were surprised,and the Judge put the case over until he could look into it further. The aflaircauscd a genuine sonsation, and there is a rumor that the Cleveland Bar will investigate tde matter. T-VANIBL RAMKY, A TTOBXE T-A T-LA W 1807 Fet. N.-W., Washington, D. C.

ALTMAN, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, Daniels was brought to Wooater at about 'J o'clock this morning, but refused to talk. The post mortem examination conduoted to-day revealed the fact that Mrst Daniels was covered with brnises. The Coroner's inquest has not yet been held. Daniels occupied the same bed, but his face was turned toward the wall, aud he paid no attention to the sufferings of bis wife. Mrs. Tanner offered to bring a lamp, f r it was early nornlng aud still dark, bi Daniels turnei. quickly in his bed and sa.J there was no need of a lamp, aa bis wife could die in the dail< just as well. Mrs. Tanner then attempted to place a pillow under the suffering woman's head. This so enraged Daniels that he sprang from hit lied, and, taking bis wife in his arms, dragged her from the bed. He carried ber bodily across the room and dumped ber into a chair, exclaiming : "Now, I guess she will breathe easier." Mrs. Tanner ran from the room intending to oall help, but no sooner had she left than Daniels locked the door behind her. It is thought Mrs. Daniels expired soon alter, bnt it is not known for certain. However, the corpse was found that morning still sitting in the chair. , On thi. 14th of January last Daniels re turned home in a rage and asked his wife for some papers. As the papers could not be found, the enraged man dealt Mrs. Daniels a powerful blow on the back of her bead with a long-handled shovel.

From that time until yesterday Mrs. Daniels has been slowly dying, but her callous husband would not allow anything to be done for her.

Of late years they have not lived peacefully, and it was generally known among the neighbors that Daniels waa very abusive to his wife. Mrs. Daniels grew childish in her old age and it was fonnd unsafe to leave her at home alone. This only exasperated her hnsband the more. It was finally decided that they should live with one of their neighbors named Tanner. Here matters grew worse between the old oonple, and Mrs. Tanner's story of the abuse heaped by DaDielB npon his wife Is startling.
