THE lDOOMI OF CLU% ERIUS.
No Apparent Chance. tor Him to Egocape the
Gallows--muething, of the Urime ie Cow
adtted.
The ease of Thomas J. Chiverius, con
victed of the murder of Fannie Lillian
Madison. has attracted widespread atten
tion. As the facts of the case may have
#dssed out of recollection, a brief state
ment may now be proper. On the 13th
March, 1885, at 3 o'clock, a. m1., Miss
Fannie Lillian 'Madison arrived in Rich
mond from Bath county and went to the
American Hotel, where she registered as
"Miss F. L. Merton." Next morning
her dead body was found in the old city
reservoir, a short distance west of Holly
vwood cemetery. On the 18th, near
Little Plymouth. in the county of King
and Queen, her first cousin, T. J. Cluve
rins (Kla-veers), was arrested, charged
with the murder of the deceased. He
waived an examination before the Police
Justice, was indicted in April, and was
brought to trial in the Hustings Court of
-Richmond at the May term. On'the 4th
day of JIune the jury returned a verdict
of "guilty."
The case went to the Court of Appeals,
the decision of which was adverse to the
prisoner-as already published.
The Richmond papers give some addi
'donal particulars of the result of the
case in the Court of Appeals. The judg
ment of the lower court is sustained in
all particulars. Little or no surprise
was manifested at the decision; in fact,
public opinion had been very well settled
upon the presumption that no new hear
ing would be granted. For over a week
the air has been full of rumors that the
court stood four to one against a new
trial, and that two of the four disagreed
-only as to the certain particulars, and
for once rumor was correct. How these
facts leaked out is not known, or wheth
er it was only one of the lucky surmises
of those who are supposed to know
everything. After the reading of the
opinion of the court, as expressed, had
been arrived at after a very patient and
searching review of all the facts as set
forth at the time of the trial, and -%as
supported by copious quotations and
references to the most learned and com
petent authorities. Thus is ended anoth
e'act in the great tragedy which shocked
a continent and for a time made Rich
moid unenviably famous.
. Cluverius knew what the decision of
the court would be at least one hour be
fore Judge Fauntleroy finished reading
.the opinion. The first few pages that
were read indicated a decision unfavora
ble to the prisoner, and about half-past
12.o'cloek Mr. McGeorge, a feed dealer,
dqing business in Richmond, left the
court room and went down to the jail.
4:vas he who told Cluverius how the
case would be decided, but it was after
t* o'clock before the prisoner was
aware that the Supreme Court had sus
tafiked the decision of the lower court on
every point that was raised by the pris
ond's counsel.
When the action of the court was
. d own to him he never trembled
or moved a muscle, except perhaps a little
twitching of the facial muscles, and this
soon passed away, giving place to that
sternness and self-control which has ex
cilpa so-much wonder, and has been a
Jzr~e to so many. When he heard the
words, "The decision is unfavorable to
you," lie raised his eyes, which had
been gazing at the floor, and, in a clear
-v'oie said, "I am surprised." Here he
paused, an<ctthe silence seemed as pain
ful to thoefwho saw the prisoner as it
was tethe prisoner himself. Presently
he qnalified his remnarks, and in a voice
more trombling than at any time hereto
fore, he remarked, "I had hoped for
better results."
- Sergeant Lee subsequently said: "Mr.
Cluverius, I will now have to put you in
solitary confinement. Your treatment
herefter must be somewhat different
from what it has been, and it is my duty
to have you put in solitary confinement
and a guard placed at your cell."
.Cluverius looked up at Sergeant Lee
and replied: "Sergeant, I make no ob
jection. I have tried not to give trouble
to anyone in this jail and I will continue
not to do so."
The only hope now left to the prisozer
is executive clemency, for unless the
Governor interferes, Cluverius will pay
the penalty of his crime upon the scaf
fold.
The action of the Supreme Cdurt will
doubtless be certified to the Hustings
Court before the June term, and when
that is done the~ prisoner will be brought
up to be resentenced.
Something for t he G rIs'.
Every housekeeper knows how careful
treatment keeps table-linen and house
hold furniture. Girls do not always
know or remember that great care of
their own little possessions will often
enable them to dress nicely on very little 1
money. A lady says:
~When I was a girl there was one of
mj young friends who was distinguishcd
for mak'ng her things last.' Her dress,
hats, gloves and ribbons were a marvel
of darability. I used to wonder how
she managed to make them last so with
oup~ their looking shabby, but I ceased
to'do so after I had visited her at her
own home. The reason why her clothes
'wore-so long was that she took such good
care of them. Her dresses were br?ushed
and fealed away carefully, and the
slightest spot on them was removed ast
soon as it was discovered. Her hat was,
wrapped in an old pocket handkerchief,
and put away in a box as soon as done
with, the strings and laces being straight
ened and roiled out most symmetrically
each time. Hecr gloves were never fold
ed together, but were pulled out straightr
and laid fiat in a b)ox, one upo' ite oth
er, each time they were used, time tiniest
hole being mended almost before it had f
time to show itself. But the thing that
impressed me most was the care she be- C
stowed on her ribbons. When making t
up bows she used to line the upj~er part I
of the ribbon with white paper, and this t
not only preveutedi the ribbon from be
cominghlmp and creased, but kept it ~
clean, so that when the bow was sie
on one side she eenid turn the ribbon, r
and the ribbon. and the part that had c
been covered came ""t Looking new and rD
fresh. 'That girl ed andi brrughtt

A TORNADO IN MISS-RI.
Twenty Liepi Lost in hansas City--Factory
Girl1 Buried inz the Busiu of Their HU:lndin:
The Street Perfect Riher%.
A fearful storm of wind and rain swept
ever Kans City, Missouri, .n the 11th
inst. continuing from 11 o'clock till
nooln. The court house on SecOnld
street was totally demolished above the
second story. The Lathrop school build
illg on Ei"hth strCt was partially wreek
ei and many chil dren caught in the
ruins. An overall factory on Second
street was blown down. The old water
works building near the court house was
blown down. At the Western Union
telegraph office but one i ire is working
out of the citv. Communication has
been established with St. Louis over that
wire by way of Dallas, Galveston, New
Orleans and Memphis. One span at the
North end of the railroad bridge aeross
the Missouri River was blown into the
river, block:ng the Hannibal and St.
Joseph. Rock Island. Wabash and Kan
sas City. St. Joe and Council Blifts
Roads. Eight girls have been taken out
of the overall factory, four of whom are
dead: many others are in the ruins, but
there is scarcely a hope for their lives.
In the confusion it is impossible to ascer
tain definitely the extent of the calamity,
but it is said that over twenty employees
are imprisoned in the basement of the
factory. The disastrous fury of the
storm was confined to the north end of
the city except in the destruction of the
Lathrope school building on Eighth
street. The buildings generally except
ing those mentioned withstood the fury
of the storm.
As nearly as can be learned amid the
iutense excitement and confusion, about
tw enty persons are known to be' dead.
At the Lathrope school eleven children
are reported dead. Of the four build
ings wrecked all were more or less un
sound. The school building has been
twice condemned and the court house
bv many was considered unsafe. No
one was killed except in these four
houses. The storm, although entailing
such heavy loss of life, was nothing of
the nature of the tornado that visited the
city three years ago. It was a violent
wind, accompanied by a flood of water
and heavy hail, which turned many
streets into rivers. Signs, shutters,
chimneys, etc., were blown with the
gale and a large number of vehicles
were overturned in the streets. The
black clouds that rolled over the city
created almost the darkness of night and
made timid ones crouch in terror in cel
lars. The streets were entirely deserted,
and in some instances horses were seen
wandering about attached to vehicles
and seeking refuge from the pelting
storm.
THE MASTER WORKMAVS ADDRESS.
Want of Discipline in the Order---A Plan
for the Future Government of the
Knights to be Submitted to the General
Assembly.
The Chicago Daily News publishes
the following secret circular, which,
it says, has been received by the
Knights of Labor of Chicago, and will
be read i the various assemblies
during the coming week. The cirenular
is rm Grand Master Workman P'ow
derly, and is a very long~ one. It com
plains of the hundreds oftuseless let ters
(four hundred a day) and committees
with which lie is bored by the order,
and states that lhe must have timec to
mature plans for the benefit of the
Order anmd mutst not be interrupted,
und that he will nmot receive letters or
eommittees,.or-ga anywhere from this
time unitil the meeting of the General
Assembly, which is ordered for May
25, at Cleveland, Ohio. The only part
of the circular of general inter-est is as
follows:
"-Nearly four- thousand assemblies
have leded themselves to act on the
advice coutained in the circular of the
9th; ultimno. I feel that it only re
quires the coming to the front of real
nen of our Order to set us r-ight
bef ore the world. We have been
iowing ground so far us public opinion
is concerned for- some time. One oi
the cames is that we have allowed
hinig to be done under the name of
ihe Knights of Labor for which the
>rgamtz.m~on was in no way respon
ihle. I ask of our members to keep a
jeaious eye oni the avinigs of labor wmn
who ne9er labor, and when they charnge
mything to the Order in your locality
~et the seal of your condemnnation upon
tat once b) denving it. If a paper
:riticises the Knighis of Labor oir its
)flerIs, (do not boy cot t it, and if you
iar e any such boycotts on r-emove r
hiem.
'-A journal not long~ since made some
micoimpliumentary uldtusionis to the Geni-f
~ral Master Work man of the Knig ite
)f Labor, andl at the next mneeting of
be- nearest as-cemblv a motion wva
ast, to boycott the paper-not that
lone, hut every per-on who adver
ised in the coluimnms of the paper. I
vrote to the assemibly asking that the'
emove the boycott, and it wvas done. 1
YVe must bear in mind that the Gen
ral Master Workman is only a main,
nd is not above criticism. We de
uand for oura-lves the righti of free
peech. We cannot consistently deny
to otheis. We must tolerate fair,
tpen criticism. If a reply is neces
ary make it in a gentlemnanly, (digni
ed manner. If we are criticised or
butied by a blackgtuard sheet, treat it
' ou would the blackguard hinmself
i kilence. That our aimus anid objects
re good is no season why our mem~
ers sh~ould be regarded as beinug ofi
aperioi build or material. We are ;
o more the salt of the earth thani s
mIlions of unknown toilers who do a
he work of the world. In our deal
igs with laborers and capitalists we
msttt deal justly and fairly by them; ifi
-e would have it equally done to us wei
imst in turn dG it equally to others. A
hlii is the aim of theKnightsof Labor
