STRANGE ABBERATI0N
' OF MARTIN MURPHY
His Mind Becomes Affected nnd
While In That Stato Ho Nearly
Causes n Tragedy.
Mm tin Murphy, of this city, was
locked tip by Constable Neary yenter
tiny ns the result of his unseemly ac
tions the nlftht befoie. Thomas Hart,
of the Maylleld cash stoic, with his
wife, went to the Pan-American expo
sition about ten days ago and left Mr.
Mutphy In charge of tho stole. He had
served in the store of the late James
llattett for several years and being a
good man of model habits, the Harts
went away with easy minds.
Their daughter, about IS years of
age, was lelt home to keep track of tho
other chlldicn and assist about tho
stole.
About midnight Saturday the girl
was awakened by Murphy, who called
htr Into the store. He vvas in a frantic,
mood and flourished a revolver. So
soon as the girl got nenr him he grab
bed her and began to kick her. Ho
seemed to be under the idea that two
men were trying or had been tt.vlng to
rob the stote nnd that the glil vvas Im
plicated In the affair.
Filially Mtnphy 111n.de her sit down
on n chair and putting the tevolvcr to
her head, demanded th.it she tell vvheto
the men wete. The girl was tet rifled
and her screams had leached the ears
of John McCarthy, who went to her
assistance.
So roon ns he heard McCnrthv, Mur
phy left the girl, who made her es
cape. When he saw MrC.it thy, Mur
phy yelled at him to stay back, unless
he was the butglnr. All the time tho
Insane man was raving about what he
would do to the burglars. McCarthy
flnallv got Murphy quieted down and
he pt miilscd to go home. The girl went
to a doctoi for treatment.
Yesteiday mot ping Murphy went to,
chinch nnd on his way home stopped
at Constable Neary's house, but Mr.
Neary was out Mtnphy told Mrs.
Neary that lie wanted the constable to
find the burglais and then told her all
about hovv'the store had been robbed.
He was very quiet In his actions. Yes
teiday afternoon Constable Neary was
notified of the occttrience and he went
to an est Mutphy. The young man nf
feied no leslstance to the constable,
but on the sti cot car he became so
bolsteious that the constable had to
take him off and walk. Mutphy again
became violent and roughly handled
anybody who enme within his teach.
II" still labored under the robbery de
lusion. The constable flnnlly got him
to the city Jail, where he was confined
over night. Some disposition of the
case w ill be made today.
Recheichcs to Entertain.

THE PASSING THRONG.
Mrs. John Pidgeon. of Dickson Hill,
Is visiting telatlves in Nlnevah, N. Y.
.Mrs. P.obert S. Whitfield, of Wash-
JERMYN AND MAVFIELP.
Miss Margaret O'Mnltey, a domestic
Rtrvant employed at the store of Thorn
hs Hart, at Mayfleld, was brutally as
saulted yestcrdny morning by Martin
Murphy nnd has since been in a seri
ous condition ns a result of the severe
heating nnd kicking she received nt
the hands of her assailant. Miss O'Mnl
ley has been In the employ of Mr. and
Mrs. Hart for n long time, hut Murphy,
whose home Is In Carbondnle, vvas
hired about n month ago to nsslst In
the store. A week ago Mr. nnd Mrs,
Unit left on a visit to the Pan-American
exposition, leaving the business In
charge of Murphy, who with Miss
O'Malley and the children slept In tho
house. On Saturday Murphy acted In
11 vety strange manner nnd during the
evening pointed a revolver several
times nt the tenmster employed nt the
stote. He, however, nppeared to at
tend to his duties satisfactorily nnd
nt the time Miss O'Malley retired to
bed he was out of doors. She does not
remember hearing him enter the house,
but was nwnke about 4 o'clockfyestor
day morning by his brenklng In the
dootof her chamber and dragging her
nut of bed. He Insisted he had heard
the voices of some men In her room
nnd demanded to know their names.
As a matter of fact the only occupants
of the room vveie the two little Hart
child! en nnd Miss O'Malley. In spite
of her screams nnd nppenls he bent
her with his hands nnd kicked her with
his feet until she vvas nearly uncon
scious and then pulled her feet first
down the stairs, and pulling a revolver
from his pocket, threatened to shoot
her. Leaving her a moment to go Into
the store, she had strength enough to
escape and she rnn to the next houso
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Matthew
Fltzlmmnns, where she remnlned until
8 o'clock in the morning, when she vvns
taken to the home of her sister, Mrs.
Alexander Bruce, of South Main street,
Jermyn. Dr. Jackson, of Mayfleld. vvas
called to attend her and he found her
condition quite serious. Her fnce vvns
swollen so badly that her features were
almost unrecognizable nnd her eyes nl-
most shut. While none of her hones
nre broken, her body nnd limbs nre
covered with bruises and contusions.
Shortly nfter her nrrlval at her sister's,
Mr. Bruce had a warrant sworn out on
the charge of assault and battery with
attempt to kill, and the warrant was
placed In the hands of Chief of Police
McCllnley, who found Murphy at the
home of his mother In Cnrbondale,
wheie he was 111 rested and placed In
the city lockup. Fiom the evidence of
those who saw the man nnd from his
actions after his nriest thetc seems lit
tle doubt hut that Murphy Is Insane. It
Is repoited he has previously In former
situations exhibited signs of Insanity,
nnd his friends are unable to offer any
further explanation of his assault on
the young lady. In response to a
telegram sent yesteiday morning Mr.
and Mis. Hart nrrlved home last even
ing. The Mnyfleld school board met on

and such a condition In comparison
with tho rapid, steady growth of her

In effect, decadence. From a mllltaiy

and In France the Increase of popula

Most of the Increase was In Paris nnd
Its environs. In which dwell laige num

In fifty years of Austrla-Hungaiy's
population has increased 50 per cent.;
Italy, 52 per cent ; the I'nlted King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, 54
per cent ; the vlgoious Get man Em
pile, bO per cent , while Fiance gained
but 10 per cent, for the same peilod.
It should bo noted that In the mean
time Gteat Britain has sent millions of
its Inhabitants to Austialln, the I'nlted
States and other lands, that gteat
numbcijs of Germans have veaii swel
led our ranks, and that the Italian ex
odus Is assuming large pioportlons,
while Fienchmen have been 11 utay-at-homo
people.
Tho explanation Is, of course that
small families In France have become
tho rule. Tho nnnunl exec. of births
over deaths In Italy Is between SOO.COO
and 400,000. Th excess In France Is
about 60,000, and In 1805 the deaths
exceeded the births by 17.R13, This is
an explanation that does not explain,
and the real question Is, why have the
families become email?

Rules for tho Guidance of the Young
Married Man.
Carol) 11 Milpman, in Lile.
Keep up the Illusion.
Don't settle down too obviously to
married life. Be ns eager to please
her ns yon were before marriage. Aim
to preset ve the chnrm of the honey
moon. Don't tell her she Is illogical, She)
pi nimbly Is, but she musn't know It
Don't be too reminiscent of the days
befoie j on knew her. From the bat
tles in which oti slew the Dtagon she
may teaon to the snuggles wheio
you fell by the wayside.
Remember that the new life, which
to you Is metely an episode, Is to her
a complete levnlutlon of thought nnd
habit nn undiscovered country. Make
allowances for her. The readjustment
is not e.ic.v.
Tie.u her fairly, so that she will not
deceive you.
Keep up the Illusion.
Tell her occasionally tint you lovo
her. She knows It, but she likes to
hear It. She can't always take It for
granted.
Statt In (he way jou want to con
tinue. Particularly In nffalts of tho
pin so. Never humiliate her by mak
ing her ask for money. Have a defi
nite undeistnndlng nt first. Money
brings the discoid that causes most
family bells to Jangle out of tune.
Bo thoughtful In little things. A
single rose may perfume a whole da.
Never remark casually that there are
two standards, one for a man and
another for a woman. Women some
times put two nnd two together with
surprising accuracy.
Remember the Woman's Instinct.
Bo ha polite to bei- mother as In
you lies, without encouraging her to
live with j, nu. It pavs In tho end.
Give advice when ou a ie asked for
It, and not befoie. The unaided work
ing out of her life problems may ho
well-nigh homicidal In the process, hut
the tesults will Justify your forbear
nnce. Keep up the Illusion.
Tell her nur soirows as well as your
Jo.s. Two can bear trouble better
than one. She Is our wife, not your
ulster, and she loves you, You owe It
to her. She may develop new power
nnd grace with the knowledge.
Leal 11 to bear with her occasional
tears. Men must work and women
must weep.
Never give her power over you by
allowing her to see that you are Jeal
ous. This Is fatal. Assume indiffer
ence If you have It not.
Don't embaiass her by adverse crit
icism of nny kind before people. Mako
It 11 cut tain lecture If It must be.
Don't forget to kiss her good-by.
Tinln her to be pieparcd for emer
gencies If she Isn't that kind. Bring
nur friends home to dinner unexpect
edly. Smoke In the house If you want to,
and bilng the clogs in. She knew theso
things befoie she married you. Why
sacrifice your Innocent pleasures?
Piove to her that marriage seldom reforms.
Make her feel Hint she Is the only
woman nu have ever loved. This t
veiy Important.
Don't tease her nnd then refuse to
be tensed jourself.
Don't talk business to her after sho
has been shopping all day. She has
tumbles' of her own.
Treat her like n comrade and a friend
but never fotget that she is, nbovo
all, o woman, who needs your utmost
sympathy and protection.
Keep up the Illusion.
Don't be an ostilch. Cover your
tracks as well nt, jou head.
Ask her advice' occasionally and take
It sometimes on principle. It may bo
vvnith taking.
Never piotcst. Your zeal may over
leap Itself and fall on the other side.
It 5011 do. Maintain a dignified atiel
thoughtful silence.
Don't make the mistake of provid
ing food, lodging and pin money for
her poor lelatlves. How did they man
age befoie ou were married?
Cultivate your sponklmr. voice. A.
few tender .wotds aptly utteted In
thilllllig tones will calm her moet vio
lent feelings. Few women aie proof
ngalnst a pioperly managed voire.
If you can't be fiank, be as frank na
you can.
Dont' think she is flirting outri
geously when she Is merely trying to
be nice to your best friends to pleases
you.
Don't tell her all the risque stories'
you know. Reset ve .ome ot the vvoist
and leave a few sensibilities
It ou are hurting her feelings and
you will tell her nu are sorry. An
ounce of tine repentance will banl'h
many pounds, of hurt
Don't loe our temper when she,
does. Choose a moie opportune mo
ment. Some one must pilot the ship.
Remember that If you love paeh,
other, you can do with her as you will.
Above all, keep up the Illusion If nq
can. It Is worth the while.
