Special to The News.
Menphis, Tenn., Nov. 9.—Pony
ganders, a well-known saloon-keeper
and politician of Memphis, died Fri-day
at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Injur-ies
inflicted by his wife were the re-mote,
if not the direct, cause of his
death. On Wednesday last Mrs.
Sanders, who was formerly an apple
woman, and has a temper of great
force, aecidentallly heard that pony,
whom she suspected of infidelity, was
then at the house of Pearl Willis on
Gayoso street. The wronged wife
braced her nerves with
several drinks, selecting a good,
stout cane from her
husband’s assortment of walkingsticks,
and called on Miss Willis. She found
Pony in the woman’s bed. He did
not stay there, but, seizing his
clothes, departed precipitately, leav-ing
his wife and his inamorata to dis-cuss
their respective rights to his so-ciety
without a referee.
Mrs. Sanders gave her rival, who,
by the way, is a woman of consider-able
local notoriety for society and
style, a very severe beating, closing
one of her beautiful blue eyes.
The police secured Miss Willis
and arrested Mrs. Sanders, but
released her after her passion seemed
to have cooled, as she was in a deli-cate
condition. She had not forgiven
Pony, however. She went home and
heated a kettle of water. When he
came home she had nothing to say,
and he retired to their bed room and
went to sleep, only to be awakened by
his wife pouriDg boiling water on him.
He was fearfully scalded about the
lower part of his body and legs. He
was removed to St. Joseph’s Hospital
Thursday, and B'rlday, while delirous
he arose from his bed and jumped
out of a second story window. Both
legs were broken aboue the knee, the
bones protruding through the flesh.
He died and Mrs. Sanders has been
arrested.

Special to The News.
London, Nov. 9.—The Prince of
Wales is celebrating his fiftieth birth
day today. There is 'a great family
gathering at Sandringham, and accord-ing
to present indications, the mansion
will not be large enough to hold the
presents, of which the prince will be
the happy recipient. Kaiser Wilhelm’s
gift is said to be worth 100,000 markB,
and it will be presented by Prince
Henry of Prussia, an arrangement
probably iutended to oonvioce the
world that uncle and nephew are now
the best of friends. The Prince of
Wales is really in some respects a
hardly used man. He has been on
his very best behavior since the bacca-rat
scandal, opening schools and
churches and charitable institutions
by the dozen, making pretty, inoffens-ive
speeches, and generally resuming
the role “Albert Edward the Good.’’

Special to The News.
Midland, Tex., Nov. 9.—The town
was bestir at an early hour Saturday
morning, enlivened with sweet, strains
of the Midland band. People were
here from neighboring towns to join
in the rabbit round-up. The small
army was soon away, in command of
Capt. Allison; man and maiden and
old folks as well.
After entering Holt’s large pasture
they formed in a wide semi-circle of
four miles and drove toward the,pens.
It was but a little while till 1500 or
more long-eared, meek-eyed jackies
were on their way to death. The
drive was to the west as that is the
way the rabbit runs in the morning.
They were soon in the broad anas of
the wire netting, darting here and
there, seeking a place of safety, al-lowing
the horsemen to ride over
them.
It seemed as if they knew the doom
that awaited tlem. The crowd press-ed
forward over the chaparral with a
wild rush tili the rabbits were safe io
the pens.
The butchers then took charge. It
can truly be said that the slaughter of
the ionojents took place. Several
beeves were barbecued near by to the
surprise ana delight of many. The
wild scenes of the morning were
repeated in the afternoon. The
hunters returned from the chase full
of glee.
