In the French Courts Mrs. Deacon Once
Gnarded Her Kepntation.
Caxxes, ITeasce, Feb. 1'J. Mr. Dea
con's action in shooting M. Abeille meets
with general rommendation. J.Ir. Deacon,
who surrendered to the police immediately
after the shooting, was to-day examined by
the magistrate in charge of the cases. Mr.
"Deacon said he arrived at the Hotel Splen
dide shortly after midnight yesterday. As
he entered the corridor he saw a light shin
ing through the space under the door of his
wife's room.
Mr. Deacon's suspicions regarding his
wife had been aroused some months prior to
that by her conduct, but lie had no tangible
proof. When he saw the light under the
door he determined to at once confirm his
worst belief. He summoned the clerk of
the hotel, and in his company broke in the
door of the room. He saw Abeille hiding
behind an arm chair and fired three shots at
I him. Mr. Deacon added that it was not his
! intention to kill the man. hut only to
wound him. Mr. Deacon asked the magis
trate to admit him to bail. The magistrate
declined to do so at once, but promised to
consider the application. Mrs. Deacon told
a story which confirmed that of her hus
haud. 1Vi;eIy Extravagance Degan It.
Mr. Deacon further stated that his wife
had the most extravagant tastes, and that
lately she had spent fabulous sums on her
toilet This extravagance had led to quar
rels between him aud his wife. His con
jugal life, he said, had been uuhapny for a
long time. He was very soory ior what he
had done, but the thins had gone on too
long and could only end Badlv.
A special telegram to Thk Dispatch
from Xew York says. The French law gov
erning such crimes as the killing of M.
Abeille is not very different from ours in
its result The oldtimers who remember
the killing of James Barton Key in Broad
way by a wronged husband, and the acquit
tal'of the latter alter a long trial, know that
even in this city justice at times takes a
lenient view of such offenses.
The French Law on the Subject.
Yisconihe d'Albac, rne French Consul
General here, quoted the French code when
asked what the law of France said in
such cases. In article 324appears this paragraph-In
the case of adultery, murder of the
w if as n ell as her lover, committed by the
husband on the in-tant when ho surprises
them in his house, is excusable.
"Is excusable" is used only in the legal
sense, and is equhslent to the phrase, "is
done under extenuating circumstances."
Other articles say:
"When the "excu-e" has been proved, if it
is ikqmtion ot a clime punishable by death
orliard Ithor lor life or" transportation, the
penalty will be jeduced to linpri-onment
( without labor) for from one to five ears.
Murder is justilijble by death when it pre
cedes, accomp inies or follows another
crime. In every other case the quilty one
will be punished by imprisonment with
hard labor for life;
Charles Vanbonrs on Trial for the Harder
of Ilontry Three Months Ajo.
Takis, Feb. 19. The trial of. Charles
Yaubourg commenced before the Seine As
sizes to-day. Though the murder for which
he was placed on trial this morning was
committed over three months, the author
ities have not yet been able to wring from
Yaubourg the motive. The prosecuting
attorney said that November 4 last a hor
rible discovery was made in a cellar be
neath a building in this city, a large five
story house occupied by a number of work
men's tamilies, and also the 'place where
workshops of M. Yachcress, a furniture
manufacturer, were located in the base
ment. The two workmen, at about noon,
went down into the cellar to fetch a pack
ing case, and one of them went by himself
into a further cellar to look for the neces
sary box. There he found the body of a
man, completely naked, with the head cut
oil at the shoulders.
Dr. Descants, a police surgeon, concluded
that the man had been strangled before his
head had been cut off, and a short cord was
found in an outer cellar, where it was evi
dent the deed was done- The decapitation,
he added, appeared to have been done by
very skillful hands. M. Goron, chief of the
detective service, established the identity
of the headless corpse, and the arrest of
Charles Vaubourg followed. "When he was
brought before the magistrate for examina
tion he was informed that the headless
body had been proved to be that of his
friend, Boutry, also known as Boutroille,
and Yaubourg was advised to confess that
he had murdered the man. Vaubourg
claimed that the police were mistaken, and
that Boutry had gone to join his regiment.
But a hat known to hove belonged to
Boutry was found in Vaubourg'g room. The
latter said that Boutry had given it to him,
but later, when pressed hard in private by
the magistrate, Yaubourg broke down and
admitted that he had committed the murder.

The Story of the Deacon Marriajre.
They Adulterate Charity Food and Sell the
Railway Tickets ot tho Starvinj.
St. 1'eteesbukg, Feb. 19. The com
mittee appointed to inquire into the adul
teration of flour purchased by the St. Peters
burg committee for the relief of
famine sufferers have made a report
as to the facts ascertained by them.
The investigating committee demands
that MM. Yallonsky and Niemann, tivo
members of the Itelief Committee, be prose
cuted for the part they took in the pur
chase of the adulterated flour. They also
urge that other members of the Kelief Com
mittee be reprimanded for culpable negli
gence in not preventing the consummation
of the swindle.
An interesting fact in connection with
the eflorts of the Government to aid the suf
ferers by means of free tickets on the rail
ways is that even this charity has been
abused. Many complaints have been made
bv the railway authorities, especially on the
Nicholas line, that the free ticket system,
which is intended exclusively for
destitute person coming from the
famine stricken districts to the
capital in search of relief and
employment, has been taken advantage of
by well-to-do persons, especially of the
merchant class. It has been found that
large numbers of these free tickets have
been sold for small sums to persons who
could well afford to pay their fares. It is
stated that numbers of these travelers are
discovered every day, and that when they
are detected they are compelled to pay the
regular tares.
Mrs. Lei ah Lewis, the attractive young
woman who made such a sensation last
November by frequent attempts at suicide
just because her husband charged her with
unfaithfulness, has given up the desire to
emigrate to the spirit land and as a diver
sion charges her husband with having
wives in almost all the corners of the globe
Mr. Lewis is a traveling salesman whose
business takes him to the leading
cities of the country. His wife thinks she
is no worse than he, even if she were as bad.
as he and his hired detectives claimed, and
yesterday filed an answer to his suit for di
vorce. Attorney Manon filed the paper. It
starts off with an assertion that Mr. Lewis
had for over a year been what a good hus
band should not be. His first particular
friend mentioned was "Susie Egler, a
domestic living in Allegheny, whom he
was charged with visiting more frequently
than even friendship required. Another
young lady with the poetic name of Bessie
McKnight was put in the same role with
Susie. Down in tropical New Orleans, it
was asserted that Mr. Lewis considered that
distance severs marriage vows and had
therefore taken unto himself a wife whose
name when she wasn't Mrs. Lewis was
Katie Vail, or "Kit," as Lewis is alleged to
have called her in telling his friends about
his Louisiana home.
It is also asserted that Mr. Lewis can
write, and that he has a large and varied
correspondence. As he is a traveling
man it is claimed that he frequently ad
dressed letters to his many wives and finally
grew so careless that his Pittsburg partner
learned thetory. One of the women to
whom his tender missives was directed is
said to have been called Sena Lewis. Her
home is among the cowboys at San Antonio,
Tex., and Itena, it is claimed, is as wild as
the country and as romantic as a Texas
novel.
Ella M. Lewis is the name given of a
Moundsville, Ind., woman who, it is
claimed, shared the love and money of
Lewis with his many other wives. Her
home is within a day's ride of Pittsburg and
is alleged to have been arranged as-a stop
ping off place for the plaintiff on his fre
quent Southern trips. "When he journeyed
Northwatd, it is asserted, a Detroit wife
cared for " his wants and brushed
the dust from his traveling clothes. The
name ot this woman is not Known. In
addition the real Mrs. Lewis claims her
husband was acquainted with other women
on the line of his travels. She asks in
conclusion that he be required to give proof
of the criminal charges against her. She
demands a jury trial.
The Court required Lewis to pay his
wife ?7 a week and with this money she
claims she is living quietly with a private
family. The (rial will hardly be reached
before June.

An evening paper has the following: The
aflair at Cannes yesterday, which involves
the reputation of Mrs. Florence Deacon, is
a terrible and unexpected blow to her
friends and family in this citv.
Florence B.ddwin, the daughter of the
late Admiral Baldwin and the cousin of
Kugene Hfsrgins, the young millionaire, was
married to Edward Parker Deacon, the son
of Commodore Deacon, about 12 years ago.
Mrs. Deacon was then ery young, and lor jt
suiue uiuc aim ior various reasons con
nected not alone with the youth of his
daughter, Admiral Baldwin hesitated con
sent to the marriage, but he presently
yieiaea, anu it was unmanuy celebrated.
Mrs. Deacon was then a beautiful voman,
a blonde, with slicht willowy figure, fine
complexion and large expressive eyes. Mrs.
Deacon attracted some attention a few years
since by declining to be presented to the
Prince of "Wales out of regard for her repu
tation. The style of living of these young
people swallowed up fortune after fortune.

POLITICS OF THE POPE.
Tie Adiises Frenchmen 3fot to Change
Thrir form of Government.
Pauls, Feb. 10. The Catholic newspa
pers here publish an encyclical letter from
the Pope addressed to the clergy. The Pope
dec'ares any form of Government is good,
provided it tends to further the public wel
fare, and that it is, therefore, the duty of
all to accept the legalh established govern
ment and not attempt to change its lorm.
But it is necessary, he says, to distinguish
between established powers and legislation.
The former must be obeyed, but legislation
hostile to the religion of "God cannot be ap
proved. The Pope concludes by expressing
himself in favor of the maintenance of the
concordat, and urging the union of all
Frenchmen for the development of the great
ness of France.

The great majority of men now engaged
in the oil business can recollect when the
tallow candle was the illuminant of the
masses. They can also remember when
people, who could aflord to burn lard oil,
a dirty, disagreeable compound, were
considered pretty well to da Crude
lamps that would not now be
tolerated in a cabin were in use in the
homes of the then elite, and in the larger
cities a poor quality of manufactured gas
could be had at a price which placed it
among the luxuries of the earth.
Not over 30 years has elapsed, but in that
time the petroleum producer has given to
mankind a cheap, clean light, as superior
to what his forefathers ever dreamt of as
electricity is to refined oil. It can be car
ried and transported where electricity can
not be generated and will therefore always
Jie valuable.
There are few who know when cmde
oil wa3 first refined. In 1859 several
barrels of petroleum, or Seneca oil
as it was them called, were
shipped to Pittsburg on a raft from Colonel
Drake's well near Titusville. S. M. Kier,
of Pittsburg, who was then, engaged in re
fining an illuminant from shale oil, re
ceived the petroleum sent by Colonel
Drake. In a few weeks he had reduced
it to a refined state, and re-shipped it up
the Allegheny river by boat to Titusville.
Uigh Price for Keflnrd Oil.
It was then placed in the hands of K. D.
Fletcher, now a resident of Titusville, who
sola the first gallon ot oil rehned from
petroleum, on December 30, 1859, to Jona
than Watson, for 1.25.
Not many months elapsed before it came
into general use among the residents
of Titusville, but on account of
the imperfect lamps then in vogue it took
years to introduce it to the country at large.
The lamps were made of tin and burned a
round wick, similar to those used in burn
ing the raw crude. Gtass lamps were finally
invented, and sold at 51 and 51 25 each.
Glass chimneys w ere 25'cents and wicks 4
cents each.
Since then refined oil has been shipped to
almost every port in the world and is used
bv all nations, under all climes and by all
classes of people. The tallow candle has
been placed in the same category as the
snuffbox, the spinning wheel, the old oaken
bucket, and the horse car. In a large
section of the United States natural
gas is now in general use. Pennsylvanians
were not the first to use natural gas as
might be erroneously believed, lor cen
turies ago the wily Chinee noticed it escap
ing from crevices in the earth and soon
made use of it. They stored it in silken
tanks, and piped it long distances through
bamboo poles, using it both as an illumi
nant and for heating purposes.
Production Still Keeping Up.
The most noticeable feature of the Mc
Donald field yesterday was the fact that its
production remained at 29,000 barrels.

the first gasser struck in the Gordon sand
north of Pittsburg.
Greenlee & Forst have struck another big
gasser in the northwestern part of Butler
county. It is their No. 4 on the Elliott

the mills of that city.
Sistersville Is liOomln;.
Sistersville Shay & Smith's well on
the Stocking property just above Sisters
ville is showing for a well in a most en
couraging manner. Yesterday afternoon
the tools entered a softer streak in the sand
