Of late, however, she has been gradually growing worse, until about four weeks ago She" fired the barn, which was partially filled with bay and straw, bat being closely watched, the fire was eitinguished before much damage was done. The first evidence of a murder ons disposition was developed abont two weeks ago, when she procured a shot gun and fired at Ler husband who was lying in bod covered with a feath er tick. She unsaid him. fortanatelv. and a closer watch was kept upon her, the fire-arms were concealed, and a son about twenty years of age, kept con- J 6 ' ' stantly near her. On last Saturday night she was unusually restless and . 1 excited And her husband remained np with ber until she finally consisted to ' " ue down. She threw herself across t the foot of the bed while he reclined near the head. Wearied by watching he soon fell asleep which, alas, was to be his last. How long she remained on the bed is unknown, but some time, probably about 4 o'clock, when the d d was committed, she stealthily arose, ferretted out the plaae where the guns were secreted under some straw in the overshot cf the barn, and procuring the rifle which was loaded she returned to the houio, placed it across a stand that was near the bed wbere hsr sleeping husband lav and firpH th.

Iu the struggle both fell from the overshot, but the n.otl er hastily arose and seized a pitch-fork, with a broken handle, aud dealt him a fearful blow near tbe left temple, in flicting a long flesh wound along the bead atd face. He succeeded, how ever, in securing her until the neigh bors arrived, when a strict surveillance was kept upon ber until she was brought to M'C-nuellsburg. She was brought to town on Wednes day aud lodged in jail, but strongly dislikes ber confinement, and pleads pitiously to be taken home, where she has a child abont five years of age. She is evidently enduring great mental agony and talks incessautly of her mis ery. She will be kept in con&nemeut to await the disposition of the Court. rire In Chicago. Ou Tuesday, the 14th inst , a fire broke out in Chicago, about 4 oO p. m., in a low frame buildiug, used for stor ing rtgs, and adjoined an oti factory that stocd between Fourth avenue and Clark street, on Taylor strret. The gr-at fire of 1871 originated in a sta ble. In both eases the fire commenced in the center of a neighborhood occu pied by wooden buildings. There was also a stiff southwest breeie, ' so that by tbe time the flames bad consumed tbe small dwellings, stables, carpenter shops, and buildings filled with oil, pa per and rags, aud reached State street, where there were substantial business houses, they were like the beat of a furnace, and all consuming in their power. The conditions for great con flagrations were not wanting. Fortu nately, after burning np nearly twenty blocks, and destroying tbe First Bap tist church, two other church buildings, tbe Postoffice, Michigan Avenue and St. James Hotels, the Inter-Oceanic and other elegant blocks erected after the fire of '71, and a number of fine residences, the flames were stayed right at the very doors of the heaviest busi ness blocks and three or iour of the best hotels. The 7't'mes makes the fol'owing esti mate of losses, which will be found to be pretty near correct : The area burn ed over covers fifteen squares, taking bits and half blocks here and there, and lumping the whole, the bnrned area is abont bulf a mile long and a little less iu wiutb, and embraced the tumble-down shanty and pclatial ave nue residences : Clarke street, $30,000; Fourth avenue, 175,000 ; Third ave nue, $250,000 ; State afreet, $1,300, 000; Wabash avenue, $1,700,000; Michigan avenue, $150,000; Taylor street, $50,000 ; Polk street, $50,000; Harrison street, $50,000; Congress street, $73,000 ;; Van Buren street, $50,000 ; Court between VYabasb. ave nue and State etreot, $150,000 ; total, $4,025,000. ;. -i- - The total insurance on the property ! destroyetl is 52,727,290 ; estimated Mlvage, $lS22'; net loss, $2.244. - 90.
