"ttTINSLOW A CALDERWOOD, " attobnets-at-law, ST. ELMO STORE PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20.1886. Indianapolis,October 14.—Henry Wildman, who'brutally butchered bit wlf< at their home near Tolono, 111., and then oat his own throat, but uot fatally,was taken from the Platte county jail at Monteoello at 1 o'clock this morning aud hanged to a tree. The mob assembled so quickly thai its presence was unknown until admission to the jail was demanded. This being refused the dooi was batterd down and the murderer taken out. After hanging hinf the mob fired eleven bullets into his body and then departed. Wildiuan's crime was committed 011 the :{d of last July, when an old quarrel between him and his wife was renewed and she left the house, starting toward a neighbor's. He coaxed her back with a promise that he would ce<tt>e his abuse. No sooner had she stepped into the house than he locked the door and drew n razor. She begged piteously for lier life, but he throw her to the lloor, held her arms with hie knees and almost severed her head from her body. A little girl witnessed the brutal butchery through ;i window. Wildman started across the lield and cut his own throat with a pocket-knife, continuing to walk until ho fell exhausted to the ground. The neighbors met at once to hang him, but desisted because of his mutilated neck. The lynching has been expected for several weeks. Wild man was a prominent citizen of Platte county, and owned a farm worth $25,000. The lynchers were his old neighbors, most of whom t horoughly disliked him because of his overbearing manner, and some were relatives of the murdered woman. Reports from Northwestern Ohio bring tidings of similar damages, the most serious so far being to the Court House at Napoleon, which was injured to the extent of $1,000. Toledo, October 14.—The moat terrific •torm for years swept over this vicinity today, bat miraculously there was no loss of life and the actual damage was not large. The most injurious effects were received by the shipping, but it will take several hours before anything definite can be learned from Lake Erie. Seven feet of water was blown out of the river, greater than ever before. The anchorage of the Toledo and Ohio Vac lit Club suffered considerable damage. The yachts Qrahain and Crescent broke loose from their moorings and are total wrecks. It was through the most arduous efforts that numerous | other yachts were saved. Among these was the Cora, of Cleveland. The second yacht race for the championship of the lakes was to be sailed on Lake Erie to-day, and grave apprehensions were experienced for the safety of the crews by the thousands of spectators who had gone down to witness it. Several severe squalls delayed the start until the worst part of the storm came, when it was found impos sible to briug the boats to the starting line, and the race was postponed. Dispatches from Monroe, Mich., to-night announced the safe arrival of the yachts there. In the city the storm was severe, but. the greatest damage was done to the new Grand Army Hall, which was completely demolished. Nkw York, October 13.—In November, 1885, Colonel Walton Dwlght, of Binghairpton, died suddenly, and from no apparent cause. He was a large, healthy-appearing man, in the prime of life. A few days later it was found that his life had been insured for over a quarter of a million. D wight was a real estate speculator, bad been Mayor of the town and was its most piorainent and popular man. At the time of his death he was bankrupt. By a strange coincidence he died the day before the various premiums in the companies he was insured in fell due. All of the companies refused to pay, save the Equitable, for the reason that it was supposed he bad committed suicide. The rest pooled their issues and stood by the Germania Life, against which a tost suit was brought. ' Drs. Swinburne and Porter, of Albany, and Dr. Austin Flint, of this city, favored the theory of suicide. Dr. Swinburne swore stoutly that Dwight committed suicide by hanging, and a red mark on the back of his neck indicated such a death. The prosecution endeavored to prove that the red mark was made by resting Dwight's neck on a wooden block after he was dead. The public interest manifested iu the case was unpreoedentsd. The whole town of Binghampton was up in arms against the insurance companies. Dwight iu his will had left legacies to almost every public man in the town and mauy charitable bequests. A change of venue was obtained and the cose tried in the adjoining oouuty. The jury brought in a verdict for the full amount, with costs, which were in the neighborhood of $20,000. The jury had been ont six days. Many of the companies made settlements upon this decision. The German i a Life brought the ca,so to the Court of Appeals, William M. Evurts and collector Daniel Magone being retained to perfect the appeal. The principal grounds were that Dwight had deceived the company as to the state of his health when he insured. TheCourt of Appeals reversed the decision of the lower court, aud ordered a new trial. Mitrrinife ami Keiieiitnuce. "None whatever. h is n< ver ;t i'liy <! inimportant cases."

Oct Hi —The result of the calculation on the orbit of the eomet recently discovered by Barnard, was announced from the Dudly Observatory in this city to-day. It should he remembered that this celestial wauderer is not the one whose identity with Davis' comet was pointed out several days ago; but it is a brighter one, visible just before sunrise. It is beliyed to be making Its first visit to our system, as no comet like it has been recorded for centuries past. The heavenly v isi tor is no w on the south side of the eo ■ liptlc or plane of the earth's orbit. In a few days it will pass above that plane, and will go on day after day Hearing the sun until the middle of December, when it will be only 60,000,000 miles away, accord ing to calculations. The comet is at present 200,000,000 from the earth, and is growing rapidly brighter. It is already half as bright again as it was at discovery, six days ago, and by the middle of December will be 22 times as bright*as it is now. It will remain so faint, however, as to be hardly visible to the naked eye, even at its brightest. Its movement toward the earth is 2,000,000 miles a day. An I'tlf Double Tragedy Reading, Oct. 13—Atnandus Stephen. aged 55, of LowerMacungie township, has been laboring under religious excitement for some time past.

His family went to the fieid this morning to husk corn, leaving the old man at home alone. At noon, upon entering the barn, his wife was stricken with horror at finding her husband dangliug from the beams by a rope, dead. Heavy Dmiia(«i innliut Kullroiulo. 3«sti«s of **«*«««• ST.
