A Ysaui Wife llrutallr Murdered
for Her IIutand-TIie 91a derer
Cut His Own Tbroat and Dies
by Ills Victim's Side.
Yesterday afternoon, at about three
o'clock, a respectable looking gentle
man called at the Drouilhat Hotel and
told the waiter in the restaurant that
he wished to see a young woman who
he believed lived in the house, and
was known there by the name of Miss
Towers.
The man was quiet in manner, re
spectably dressed in dark clothes, and
apparently about thirty-six years old.
He was a stranger, ana naa never oeeu
seen in the house before. The waiter
took him to a front room on the second
floor, knocked at the door, and in a
moment the young woman Known as
Miss Towers stood before them. The
stranger rushed toward her, the two
embraced each other with a kiss, and
closing the door, they left the waiter
in the hall to find his way down to the
restaurant.
A IIORREBLK SCENE.
During the next twenty minutes, the
two were frequently heard in conver
sation, aud this was in an ordinary
tone, and with no indication of anger
or excitement of any kind. Soon after
this, an old man employed in the
house had occasion to pass up the
stairs. He saw Miss Towers' door
open and she and her visitor standing,
the latter with hat and umbrella in
hand, as if about to leave. In a minute
or two only after this, the men below
in the restaurant heard a noise as
if of a scuffle; and presently the noise
of some one falling heavily. The
waiter who had shown the stranger in
rushed up stairs and was horrified at
seeing the yeung woman lying in the
doorway of her room, with the blood
pouring from her neck, and running
in streams and rivulets upon the floor.
The waiter saw uo more, but screamed
and rushed for a policeman. The
noise brought the old man who had
last seen the parties, from an adjoin
ing room. As his eyes fell upon the
ghastly scene, the stranger was just
crawlirg on his hands and knees from
the bedroom. His throat was cut
from ear to ear, tho blood was pouring
from the wound in torrents and leav
ing a red, slimy trail behind him as he
crawled. He reached the young
woman s side, laid his head upon her
breast, and sinking down in the pool
of blood by her side, gasped out his
life in one convulsive struggle.
IN THE PKEUENCE OF THE DEAD.
TI-ia two Vtndies lav side bv side, and
the clothing of both, from head to
foot -wna nntunllv Hfttnrfit.fi 1 witn
hlood. The woman was vouncr not
over twenty-five and had evidently
oean quite pretty. one naa long
streaming light hair, blue eyes, open,
and horrid in their crhastliness. and
beautiful whibi teeth. Her clothing
araa nAftt. anil f nshionftlVlv niiulp. nnil
her whoLs appearance and that of her
room inuicaxeu a person witu some
claim to gentility.
Tho man at her side was larcre and
"powerful. He had dark hair, black
eyes, black mustache and imperial,
and was rather neatly dressed in dark
clothes.
WHO THE MUBDEBER WAS.
From the papers found on the body
of the man, it appeared that his name
was Randolph Mitchell, although he
had a number of letters addressed to
other names. One o! these was Harry
J. Andrews, and still another Fred.
rerriman. He wa.i an engineer by
trade, and he had several certificates
among his papers one of them a cer
tificate from tho United States author!
ties of his professional ability. All
these wero made out in the unme of
Randolph Mitchell, and the inference
is, therefore, that that was his true
name. There was not a single letter
or paper, though, to indicate what the
parties were to each other, or the
cause of the horrible deed, but from a
circumstance, already known to the
officers, and which wdl le given
further on, it would seem that they
were husband aud wife, and that jeal
ousy was the cause of the deed.
WHAT THE TOLICE KNOW.
A member of the police force, who
was slightly acquainted with the
woman, says that she came to this city
Fonie little time ago, and recently went
to work in Scott's saloon, on the cor
ner of Kearny and Sacramento streets.
That she took the room at tho Drouil
hat Hotel about a week ago, and for
some reason desired to keep her place
of residence a secret. On Sunday,
the officer said, he was accosted by a
stranger au oldish man with gray
hair who said that he had heard that
a girl named Annie Towers or Ross
lived in that neighborhood, and he
wanted to know if the officer could di
rect him to the exact place. He said
he was Miss Towers' brother. N He
then went into the history of the girl
he was in search of, saying that she
was from Tohoe City, where she .for
merly had a husband ; that while liv
ing there she had been so notoriously
unfaithful to her husband that he had
poisoned himself and died ; that he
had heard the girl was in the city, and
he wanted to find her to take her home.
He did not tell the officer what his
name was nor her true name. The
officer, not putting much faith in the
story, refused to give the information,
and the man went off. This man, how
ever, does not answer at all the des
cription to the person who committed
the horrible deed yesterday. It is pos
sible, however, that tho man who ac
costed the officer may have been sent
by Mitchell to find out his wife's resi
dence, and told the story he did for
effect upon the officer. The man who
now lies dead in the morgue is a stran
ger here, and no one has yet appeared
who ever saw him before, but by to
day it is probable that whatever mys
tery surrounds the case will be cleared
up. The circumstances now all indi
cate that the man was the woman's
husband, and that he murdered her in
a fit of jealousy, because she would not
live with him, and then coolly ended
his own life.
Among the passengers on the steam
ship State of Alabama, which left New
Orleans for Liverpool last Sunday
week, was the Hon. Jefferson Davis.
He was directed by his physician to
take a sea voyage. His disease, we
learn, is dropsy of the heart. Mrs.
Davis remains in New Orleans, and is
staying with Mr. Davis' niece, Mrs.
Stamps. Now that the departure of
Mr. Davis is authoritatively announc

- Notwithstanding the stringency of
the money market, royalty seems to
be doing a first-rate business. The
civil list gives the Emperor of Russia
an annual income of 8,250,000; the
Sultan of Turkey, 6,000,000 thalers;
tho Emperor of Austria, 5,500,000
thalers; the Emperor of Germany (as
King of Prussia,) 4,500,000 thalers;
tho King of Italy, 2,500,000 thalers;
tho Queen of England, 2,500,000 tha
lers. In proportion to the National
income of these countries, the Queen
of England receives the lowest civil
list, namely: 7-10 per cent. The Sul
tan receives the highest, 11 per cent
It is a curious tact that some of the
children of Montezuma were taken to
Spain, and were married into some of
its most aristocratic families. The
blood of the Aztec Emperor, therefore,
courses through the veins of some ot
the best Hidalgo families. History will
also record that the late Preisdent Ju
arez, one of the wisest and most learn
ed statesmen of his day or of the age,
was a full-blooded Indian. The sons
of the proud Castilian yielded grace
fully t j the rule of the native Mexican
another illustration that time is
sure, to work out its own compensations.

PETITION FROM WILMINGTON
FOR AN APPROPRIATION
FOR THE RIVER AND
BAR.
BANKRUPTCY RESUMED IN THE
SENATE.
Washington, February 6 Noon.-
Senate Mr. Merrimon presented a
petition from the citizens of Wilmmg
ton. m. LJ., and tne Unamber of Uom
merce of that city, asking for an ap-
priation of $350,000 to complete the
improvements at the mouth of the
Cape Fear River, which was referred
to the Committee on Commerce.
House To-day being private bill
day, a number of private bills were
reported and acted on.
Washington. Feb. 6 Night. The
Senate took up the bankrupt bill, and
resumed the consideration of the
amendment offered by Mr. Sherman to
fix the limit of time at ninety days in
which a party dishonoring his commer
cial paper can be adjudged a bankrupt.
which, alter discussion, was rejected,
Yeas 15, nays 29.
The amendment requiring the cred
itors to force a debtor to bankruptcy
was rejected.
Mr. Thurman said the clause pro
posed to be amended had been subiec
ted to the severest examination and the
closest criticism bv the Committee.and
after the most careful consideration,
one-fourth of the number and one-
third of the debts had been agreed
upon.
Other amendments, reported with
four verbal changes, were adopted as
renorted by the Judiciary Committee,
lne Committee a amendments, as
passed by the Sonate, fix the time at
forty days, within which period any
banker, broker.trader, merchant, man
ufacturer or dealer, who has stopped
or suspended and not resumed pay
ment of his commercial paper, shal
be deemed a bankrupt, and pro
scribe that the fees, commissions
charged, and allowances, excepting the
actual and necessary disbursements of
and to bo made by the officers, agents,
marshals, messengers, assignees and
registers, in cases of bankruptcy, shall
be reduced to one-half of the allow
auce heretofore provided for the Jus
tices of the Supreme Court, who are
to make new rules and regulations in
this respeot.
The law empowers the consolidation
of duties of the register, assignee, mar
shal, and clerk, anu to reduce the cost
of charges to tho end that proximity,
delay, and unnecessary expense may
be avoided.
Mr. Edmunds offered a new amend
ment, conferring jurisdiction in bank
rupt cases upon any Circuit or Dis
trict Court of the United States, which
was agr?ed to. He also oTered an
amendment dispensing with personal
service of notice in all cases of claims
not exceeding 850, providing in cases
where the amount should be under
that sum notice oould be given by
publication in newspapers; agreed to.
He also offered an additional section
to the bill, providing that it should be
the duty of the Marshal of each Dis
trict, in the month of July of each
year, to report to the Clerk of the
District Court, in tabular fo:m, to
be prescribed by Justices of the Su
preme Court of tho United States:
1st. The number of cases in ban
kruptcy in which warrants have come
to his hands. 2nd. How many of such
warrants were returned, with the fees,
costs, expenses and emoluments
thereof. 3d. The total amount of all
other fees, costs, expenses and emolu
ments earned and received by him
during the year, from or in respect to
any matters of bankruptcy. 4th. A
summarized statement of such fees,
costs and emoluments, exclusive of
actual disbursements in bankruptcy,
earned or received during the year.
5th. A summarized statement of all
actual disbursements in such cases,
also requing every Register to report
in like manner, the number of volun
tary and compulsory cases in bank
ruptcy coming before him during the
year, the amount of assets and lia
bilities of bankrupt, the amount and
rate per cent, of all dividends declar
ed, the disposition of all such cases;
every asignee is required "to make a
similar return, and the Clerk of such
Court, in the month of August in each
year, is required to transmit to the
Attorney-General a report of all cases
pending and disposed of, dividends de
clared, disposition of casep, whether any
officer has failed to make his report
&c. Any violation of this section
to be punished by a dismissal from
office, and the party offending be
guilty of misdemeanor, and upon con
viction to be fined not more than $500,
or' imprisoned not exceeding one
year. The section was adopted.
Mr. Thurman offered an amendment
abolishing the office of Register in
Bankruptcy, and authorizing several
District Courts to make such orders
and to take such steps as may be nec
essary to adjudicate and dispose of all
such matters or proceedings in bank
ruptcy, now pending before such reg
ister, and also giving the District
Courts power, where it may appear to
be necessary or advisable, to appoint
special master commissioners to per
form any of the duties heretofore per
formed by Registers, such power to
be also exercised by a Judge m Cham
bers. No fees or compensation shall
be paid to any such committee, except
such as shall be allowed by the Court.
Mr. Thurman in advocating the
adoption of this amendment said in
three-fourths of the Districts of the
United State3, Judges had ample time
to discharge all duties which would
devolve upon them, if the office of
Register in Bankruptcy should be
abolished, and in consideration of the
complaints from all quarters of the
large amounts received by these offi
cers as fees, he thought it a move in
the right direction to abolish the office.
The amendment of Mr. Thurman
had been considered in the Committee
and rejected. In the amendments
agreed upon it is provided for a reduc
tion in fees; to have work'done effectu
a'ly under the bankrupt law, it must
be paid for, and he did not think it
advisable to impose this duty upon the
Courts. Pending .the discussion on
the amendment to abolish the office of
register, the Senate, on motion of Mr.
Cameron, went into Executive session,
and after half an hour the doors re
opened and adjourned.
No confirmations were made.

so much, and other circumstances, made tt inconvenient to weigh l he Dickson and Pealer.
