An Unfortunate Engagement—Illicit Love— The Husband's Eyes Opened—A Fight— Attempts to Buy Strychnine — How Carruthers Was Killed. A Rat Portage despatch says ; On the 3rd day of January, this year, Thomas •Blake Carruthers, a hard-working farmer, was found by his wife dying on the floor of , . banks of Rainy River, a few miles from Rat Portage. There were two bullet holes from a 38 -calibre revolver in his head, and the cj,eadly weapon lay beside the uncon- scious man.

A Vienna bee says : The Poles are greatly exciteover the proposed erection} of a monument under the auspices of the Russian Government to the memory of Count Muravief, known as ' The Hang- man of Poland." It was 'by order of Mura- vieg that, Lila& of Poles were:put to, death at Wrina, in 1863. He was likened to Ivan the Terrible in ferocity, and many patriotic noblemen and citizens of Warsaw were victims. The proposition is to erect a memorial to -wi nessed his worst atrocities, and the fact that the present Goveruor-General of \Vilna has subscribed to the fund for that purpose shows that the authorities endorse What is ^lmcztin credible is that pressure is brought to bear to 'compel Poles to subscribe to the scheme for honoring the mans .11,7•!, thv�tgcn�.,utr- ''lad Poles generally construe the movement as a national insult; although it will also serve to keep alive in Poland the sentiment of nationality and the memories of .the her-oie- past.

The the ue was then drawn on the Hibernian month ago a . petition, signe y near y .every fanner within a radius of ten miles, was sent in to the Attorney -General pray- ing that a Government detective be sent at once to ferret out the mystery. The authorities, lost no time in despatching Detective Murray, who, for the past three weeks, has been on the scene of the tragedy. This shrewd officer, a man of wide . experi- ence, went into •the Rainy River district without disclosing his identity, remained ..among the people gathering up evidence here and there, every little of which estab- lished firmly in his mind the conviction that the young yoeman of '30 years, who had left his home in Perth county a little more than a year ago with a view to bettering his fortunes, had been cruelly murdered. THE WIFE ARRESTED. i' Acting on the information gathered about the spot where Carruthers was shot, Detec- tive Murray returned to Toronto yesterday morning, and after a diligent search located Mrs. Carruthers on Statfbrd street, where she was 'visiting friends. She was. placed under arrest by the officer, but owing to her being somewhat indisposed she was not removed to the county jail, a guard being left on watch for a day or two, when she will be taken to Rat Portage on a ,charge of murder. 'Mrs. Carruthers" is a tall, well- built and handsome woman ; a - decided brunette, with dark brown eyes and heavy lashes. - THE SERPENT IIN THE GARDEN. It appears that about a year. ago last Christmas a man named Fotheringham left the township of Blanchard, Perth county, and settled on the Raney River; where he started a saw mill After he had been there a few month's he returned to Perth county on a visit, where he met Carruthers, who lived with his newly -made wife on the farm contiguous to. that_ worked' by Fothering- ham previous to his going north. The three had for years been • neighbors, and • were on very. friendly terms. Fothering- hant advised Carruthers to' go to the Rainy River and engage' in farming, promising, that if necessary he would give him work the year round in 'his mill. Carruthers went up to look about the place, and, re- turning in -a few -weeks, decided to make the move. He took his wife and two small children with •.him,' leaving his relatives, all of whom ate highly •respectable, behind. His first work -was to build a small log cabin convenient to the mill and near the river, bank. Fotheringham made his promise' good and gave Carruthers employment in the mill: • After things had her guard Burin the afternoon and. laughed gone along smoothly for a few months Car- g g g ruthers gre%'v jealous of his wife and Fother- heartily after reading the ,newspaper ingham, the latter being a frequent visitor accounts of her husband's death aria the recent arrest.

It s 'r,een holding meetings in a tent here for the understood that before lea ing for Lome, yesterday the i,roti ers of the prisoner retained- Messrs: Maclaren, Ma.donaid; Merritt & Shipley as'co{:nsel'for the defence. It appears that Fotheringham and Nellie Slack (Mrs. Carruthers. maiden name, were schoolmates in Perth Count:, and it is also understood that the forrner was much opposed to her marriage with Carruthers, who was her first cousin. The family connection was -made • stronger still by the marriage of Wm. , Slack, the pris- oner's brother, to a sister of the dead ' man. It is stated on good' authority that Car- •rothers at the time of his death was insured for $l,000'in the Masonic Life Insurance Company, but as Mrs. Carruthers could not get possession of the money after her hus- band's funeral, Fotheringham gave her funds with which to 'leave the co><intryf • She came to her old home in Perth cotunty on a Saturday night and disappeared the follow ing Monday morning, no person knowing whither she had gone.

TRIED TO BUY STRYCHINE. A druggist at Rat Portage is prepared to swear that Fotheringham applied to him for strychnine but was refused_; he stating that it was for Mrs. Carruthers who wanted to poison rats. Fotheringham also admits this. On another occasion Mrs. Carruthers sent by a neighbor for a phial of deadly fluid ' poison. There is some • other important evidence regarding the . re- volver and bullets, which will not be made public until the case comes on. Mrs. Carruthers' maiden name was Slack, and she lived for many years in Perth county, where her relatives, all very estimable peo- ple, still reside. Detective Murray will leave with his prisoner on Saturday morn- ing for Rat Portage, where she will be tried at the next sitting of the Criminal Assize Court. The case is creating great interest in the Rainy River District and also in Perth County, where all the parties con- cerned are well known. Some members of the. Slack. 'family will probably accompany Mrs. Carruthers to Rat Portage • and engage the best possible counsel for her defence. A Toronto report says : Nellie Carruthers, the young widow from Rainy River, who was placed under arrest Thursday morning- on Stafford street by Government Detective John Murray, charged with the murder of her husband early in January, has been highly favored by the officer of the law. Rarely is a prisoner accused of murder ac- corded freedom, except that freedom which ,i, s_su.rratmded_b_y_iron .-bnr5. In thio Wase,_, Mrs. Carruthers, after being taken into cus- tody, was driven to the Metropole Hotel and given a very comfortable room. She is' under the surveillance of a guard, who is in her company constantly except at night, when Annie Fraliek, one of the • Metropole dining -room girls, takes her in charge. The prisoner's companion reported yesterday morning that -Mrs. Carruthers slept little during the night and was very restless at times. She declined to talk, however, of the tragedy, and occasionally fell into a meditative mood. While these spells were , upon her she appeared to be staring penetratively at some imaginative object, then suddenly recollecting that she was not alone, she would end the reverie with a merry laugh. The greater part of the day was spent in the parlor of the hotel 'where until noon she was in the company of her twobrothers from St. Mary's, who returned home at that hour. She chatted freely with at the cabin. This feeling of distrust grad- ually developed until one day when Fother- Ingham called at the abin Carruthers told him that he.never wanted to see him around his place again." The rumor that Mrs. Car ruthers and Fotheringham were on very in- timate terms caused the mill hands to talk, all of which reached the ears of Carruthers. This made the husband desperate, and when a few days later, returning to the house un- por ► e. is preven e ► ' blowing through, and as one strong gust struck the barge it lifted the starboard side of the hurricane, deck clear from its fasten- ing and supports, and forced it and the posts and partitions in the centre over to the port side. • As it pushed over, the end of the deck nearest the dock to which the barge was fastened dropped down upon the hundreds of women and children who had crowded over to that side of the barge in an effort to escape. In a moment the air was rent with screams and agonizing cries of the poor victims whose lives were being crushed out and limbs broken. The scene was heartrending in the extreme, and the excitement on the steamer among the relatives and friends of those on the barge added to. the pande- monium which prevailed. • The officers, dock -hands and other men on the steamer lost no time in reaching the barge and doing all in their power to rescue all whom they could from the wreck. The lifeless bodies of fourteen were seen to be lying near the gunwale. All had had the lives crushed out of them by being caught between . the edge of the fallen deck and the guard rails. Won:en and children, and even strong 'men wept piteously as they looked upon the dead or dying. The plaee where the rlisaster occurred is at the head of Cold Spring harbor, not far from Laurelton,• and• is a favorite picnic ground. The falling . of the deck of the barge, was, it is said, due to the rotten con- dition of the supports. Many of the ex- cursionists carried home with them pieces of the centre -posts, which show they were perfee, ly_._rott_en it the Core.

The mill man left the place, and Carruthers went towards the field in which he was "Working, butthis was only to elude the other. Carruthers came back in . a few minutes and found Fotheringham and his wife again tbgether, the latter alleging that the mill owner was'fooling with her and had torn her apron off.' Before the eJiraged husband had time to act Fotheringham left the cabin, but was pursued by Carruthers. The two men came together and a desperate fight ensued in which Carruthers was victor. He then swore that unless Fotheringham got off the river he (Carruthers) would •kill. hirr, Fotheringham left for Rat Portage 1, the next day and did not return until after Carruthers had peen shot. Mrs. Watt, a cbok in ' Fotheringham's boarding-house, states that her employer engaged Mrs. Car- ruthers to assist in the work about the house, but she was never allowed to do any- thing, being kept in Fotheringham's com- puny almost continually. This. was before the mill owner left the district in December. /rim WIFE'S STORY. About 10 o'clock on the morning of Jan- ua‘ty 3rd, according to Mrs. Carruthers' Statement, she and her husband hacl guar - relied, having been on bad terms for a few weeks. After cooking breakfast, which Carruthers refused to eat, she went out to the river, 40 yards distant from thehouse, to get a pail of water throngh the ice: She did this and on her way back to the cabin fed the cow. \Chile at the stable; only 30 feet from the hPuse, she heard an unusual noise Inside, `.and returning found her husband lying on the floor.

A Chicago despatch says : On information received here last night the police raided a disreputable resort on the South side.kept by a colored woman, and after a long search discovered a blind door nailed up. It led to an attic, in which the officers found two women, Mrs. Mary Simpler, of Cincinnati, and Malvina Sparlitig, a handsome young Danish girl, who had been decoyed into the den, thrust, into the attic, and starved in order to force thepi into lives of shame.

A Little Rock, Ark., despatch says : The • inquiry by the federal authorities under direction of United States Attorney - General Miller as, to the alleged brutal treatment of federal.convicts in the peni- tentiary here still continues.
