I'JMI , May 0.-- [ Now York Hcrnhl Cabl
Special to Tun Dm : . ] A meek , Inoffensive
looking man of mltltllu ngo at tlio Paris n ;
sizes today was tried and conilcinned to deal
for a < louhle crlnto almost unparalleled I
atrocious cuvngory.
The monster Is Jean Vodablc , a Paris cot
tcr. Vodnhio used to llvo with a scavenges
I'uuliii Miilllhitcco , who , after tlirco .years
cxKrlence | ; , wearied of her lover's bmtn
usafjo and showed him the door. Brcathlii ]
threats of vengeance , Vodablo went awa ;
nnd remained absent for a month.
On the morning of November ! W Mine
Miillllntcrc found Vodnblo in her apartment
Ho urged her to resume her former relations
cmpha.il/iliiK his entreaties by showing he
ix rope , with which , ho snld , ho wouh
hang himself iu case of refusal
Mine. Mnllllatcro compromised matters b ;
agreeing to spend a day with Vodable. Sh
had a daughter , Alexandrine , twelve year ;
old , whom she suppose ! to bo at school , a :
usual. When mid-day carne and Alexandria *
did not return at luncheon time her mothc
grow anxious , but Vodnblo quieted her b ;
saying ho had given Alexandrine three sou :
to get her meal at school * The afternoon win
passed by Vodnblo nnd Mmo. Mnllllatcro li
< juanlng bottles of wlno. As twlllgh
gnthered nnd Alexandrine still did not rctuii
her mother's nnxiety revived. Accompanlei
by Vodablo she went to the school , where HK
Icnnicd that Alexandrine had not attended
Then co she went to the police statioi
nnd nn Inquiry wns set on foot , bui
nothing could bo learned of the missing
child. Finally , tired nnd disconsolate , Mine
Malfllatcro went home , still In company with
Vodable , who passed the night at her house
Vodablo took his leave early in tl > o morn
Ing nnd Mine. Mallllatcro set about tidying
the room. While thus engaged she noticed r
bit of red cloth peeping out from under tin
bed. The woman staggered back in terrible
fear. Then she stooped down and pulled the
cloth towards her. It was a child's ' dress ,
Alexandrine was found at last. A shrieli
rang through the house , and when the
nlarmcd neighbors entered the room
they found the hapless mother lying Insensible -
sensible upon the corpse of her child. A
medical examination showed that a brutal
assault had been committed upon
the girl , nnd suspicion was nt
oni'o directed to Vodable , who , after
keeping the police at bay for a couple of days ,
gave himself up on his own accord , confess
ing that ho was guilty of the erimo of mur
der.
der.His
His counsel at the opening of the trial
begged that Vodablo bo remanded in order
that ho might undergo a medical examina
tion. This was refused by the presiding
Judge , who forthwith began his cross-ques
tioning. Vodablo answered composedly , al
most carelessly , and kept looking around the
court room as If ho were a spectator and the
persons present were there for his amuse
ment. Vodablo luul buffered several condem
nations for wounding with knife or re
volver women with whom ho had lived.
Ho lightly acknowledged that ho Iwul
shot one woman and stabbed another
in moments of exasperation. Ho strenuously
maintained that he had been an industrious
nnd temperate working man , adding : "I
was n great fool to bear with her as long as I
did. "
The Judge asked the prisoner to relate the
details.
' I found Alexandrine getting ready to go
to school , nnd asked her about visits paid to
her mother. She said she could tell nothing ,
ns it was not her business. I said ; 'If you
don't tell mo I'll wring your neck. ' I took
her and wrung her neck. "
A shudder ran through the nudlenco.
Vodablo had told the tuln without a
tremor In his voice , leaning mean
while unconcernedly over the rail
of the dock. When silence , broken
by the murmur of loathing from the public ,
had been restored , ho resumed without wait
ing for the Judge :
"Then I pushed her under the bed. I took
a stick nnd pushed her further under. "
Vodnblo's counsel made n strenuous effort
to save his client's neck , depicting him as a
Jealous lover whom passion had maddened ,
but the Jury , admirably pitiless , returned n
verdict of guilty.
"Very goon , " i remarked Vodablo , after
listening Impressively to the sentence which
consigned him to the guillotine.

TIIK MUUPUY MEETINGS.
No Abatement of Interest In the Tern
pcrnuuo Reformer's Work.
"Wo will commence this blessed service b ;
singing the old familiar hymn , No. 0 , on th
slip , " said Francis Murphy lost night , am
then the immense audience tilled the Gram
opera house with that stirring hymn , -"Core
nation. "
After singing two other hymns Mr. Murph ;
read nn extract from the 91st Psalm : "H
that dwclleth in the secret plnco of the Mos
High shall abide beneath the shadow of th
Almighty. " Commenting upon this , Mt
Murphy made a few remarks applying th
text to the evil of the social glass , and snld In
hoped the young men would see the ovll o
drinking and turn from it before It is too late
Hov. Charles Savldgo led in prayer , am
the hymn , "Nearer My God to Thee , " wai
sung.
The collection was then announced nut
Hev. Snvldgo snid that so far tin
collections had only averaged ono ecu
for each person in attendance , and ho hopci
the collection would bo larger than over. Mr
Murphy endorsed the last part of this will
un emphatic "Bless the Lord. "
While the collection was being taken Kov. .
Snvidgo spoke of the meeting held at tin
Union Pacific shops nt noon yesterday , whlcl
had been very successful.
After singing nnother song Mr. Murph }
said. "Tho meeting tonight shall bo the best
of them nil. " Continuing , ho said the meet
ings had been very successful. They had landed
lots of big pickerel , but there w.cro plenty ol
big llsh loft in the stream. The way to catch llsli
was to learn what the fish like and bait tin
hook accordingly : the way to catch men waste
to do the same thing.vo should save mcr
by'a process they will like , nud uot by dolug
something wo like. "
Mr. Murphy suddenly Introduced Rev. C.
N. Dawson , the pastor of the South Tenth
street Methodist church. Ho said ho knew
nothing of the power or influence of drink ,
but bo said that men should seek help from
God if they wished to reform and bo saved.
Dean C. II. Gardner was then introduced
by Mr. Murphy. Ho said ho had wondered ,
during the past fifteen or twenty years ,
when ho heard of the wonderful success ol
Francis Murphy , where the power lay , buthc
now knew that It was because ho placed
Christ in his work. The dean said ho was In
hearty sympathy with the work of Francis
Murphy , and hoped the work would bo more
than successful.
Fifteen years ngo. the dean snld , ho hnd
signed the pledge to help n young man who
wns addicted to drink , and they hnd both
kept It ever since. The only way to reform ,
ho said , wns to quit , nnd to ask God's help to
keep from the awful habit.
Kov. P. S. Merrill was introduced and said
ho hud known Francis Murphy for fifteen
years nnd had always been in hearty sympa
thy with him and was glad to see him In
Omaha. He snid there had been nn Impression
thnt ho had n feeling against Mr. Murphy ,
but ho wanted to sny that there had never
been a word said by him that could raise the
least suspicion that ho was opposed to Francis
Murphy or the work ho was doing. What
ever had been said to the contrary , ho said ,
the newspapers should be called ou to ex
plain.
K. A. L. Dick wasintroduced [ by Mr.Murphy
nnd made an eloquent address. He said the
temperance question had been discussed so
often nnd from so many different points that
ho would not attempt to speak on it , but ho
wished it to bo understood that ho wns
strongly in favor of the Murphy movement.
Mr. Murphy then addressed the meeting ,
closing with an appeal to sign the pledge.
,
A Unique Collection.
Max Jacnsch , the proprietor of the opera
house iu Fremont , received a very curious
importation yesterday morning through the
custom house. It Is Important to antiquar
ians , as it is nothing less than a collection
of arms from the scenes of the
Crusades nnd the "thirty years'
war. " The grandfather of Mr. Jncnseh
wns an ardent collector In Germany , nnd
when he died left behind him a largo nnd
valuable collection , which Mr. Jacnsch's
father , having reached a venerable ngo , has
sent to his son in order thnt It may bo re
tained in the family. In the collecticn nro
lances and swords used by the crusaders in
the thirteenth century , two guns used
in the "thirty years' war" between
the years 1018 and 1IHO , also n battle nxo of
the same period. The gun used by Baron von
Buttlor when ho killed Van Wallcnsteln is
also in the collection. One of the most inter
esting relics is a Swiss arquebus of the time
of William Tell , studded with ivory
nnd ornamented with brass wire nnd
colored threads. There is also the
sword used by General von Xeithor ,
Frederick the Great's ' great general ; two
duelling pistols purchnssd from Jerome Bone-
pnrte's estate ; a gold mounted sword used by
Saladin , the defencer of Jerusalem against
the crusaders , nnd a dented and rusty Iron
breastplate worn by a foot soldier during the
thirty years' war.
There are manv other relies of great
value which Mr. Juonsch did not un
pack. Whllo Collector of Customs Alexan
der was examining the contents of the box n
crowd of deeply interested men surrounded
him nnd examined the pieces us they were
brought forth. Mr. Jacnsch stated thnt Law-
ler , the Hden Museo man , had made him a
liberal offer for the privilege of exhibiting the
collection , but ho will ship'It to his homo at
Fremont and exhibit them at his opera house.

Valuable Horsellesh.
Charles Marvin , ono of the oldest nnd mosl
experienced horsemen in the west , came ii
Thursday night with the finest string o ;
horses that was ever brought to this city ,
They belong to ex-Governor Stanford of Cat
Ifornia , nnd they are undoubtedly the fastcs' '
and most valuable lot of trotters ever ownct
by ono individual. They are resting up fein
n couple of days at the Union driving park ,
A Bnn representative visited the park yes
tcrdny afternoon. The horses were not 011
exhibition ; in fact , the trainer stated thai
they were not lit to be seen , ns they were Jusl
off the cars , but the scribe wns kindly per
mitted to sec them. The list Includes the fol
lowing horses :
Electric Bell , n two-year-old stallion , full
brother to Bell Boy and St. Bell. This colt
is ono of the handsomest horses that over oc
cupied a box at the park. Ho is perfectly
developed and is a living picture of the
ideal horso. Ho was purchased when six
months old by Mr. Sibloy of Franklin ,
Pa. , who then paid S12f , > 00 for him ,
The horse has since remained on ex-Governor
Stanford's Palo Alto ranch , thirty-two miles
from San Francisco , nnd Is now being taken
east to his owner. Mr. Siblcy has been of
fered ? 50,000 for the colt , but refused to nc-
ccpt It.
Navidn , by Whips , by Electioneer , is n four-
year-old green horse , very promising , but has
never been started.
Wildmont , by Piedmont , by Wlldflowcr ,
is a threc-vear-old that is considerably under
the weather , and is the only ono of the string
that is in the hospital.
Amigo is a four-year-old stallion by Elec
tioneer.
The next box Is occupied by the wonderful
Sunol , who is now in her four-year-old form.
As a two-year-old she made n record of 2:18 ,
und the past year lowered'it to 2:10J ' . She
was sold lust full to Itpbert Bonncr , b'ut the
exact price has never been announced ,
although it is currently reported thnt it wns
not much short of $ .V,000. ) The marc will re
main this season in Mr. Marvin's hands nnd
if nothing happens to prevent , she will bo
asked before the seas9n is over to break the
record of the present ipicen of the trotting
turf , Maud S. She will be turned over to
Mr. Banner Into in the fall.
Colma is n green four-year-old by Elec
tioneer , and is a very fast and promising
trotter.
The last box on that side of the barn is
occupied by Palo Alto , by Electioneer. This
horse is eight years old and has u record of
2:12 : > . This phenomenal specimen of Cali
fornia horsellesh "can go just ns fast as ho
wants to , " nnd IV is stated thnt $100,000
couldn't begiii to , touch , him , Orrin Hickok ,
who wns hero" ' * ' last' week with n
string of good ones , declared while here that
Palo Alto , in his opinion , was the "fastest
bit of trotting stock that over wore hair , "
und predicted thnt he would attract universal
attention before the close of the season of
1890.
1890.Just across tbo alley is the box occupied by
Gertrude Russell , full sister of Palo Alto ,
seven years old , record 2:2IJJ4. : She very
closely resembles her' illustrious brother , and
is in no way unworthy of the relationship.
She is "Justus good for ten miles as she is for
one. "
Arrolj 2:24 : , Is n ten-year-old , by Electioneer.
This horse got down in the car while on the
road nnd is somewhat out of Jlx.
Last of the list is a thoroughbred denomi
nated "Tho Teaser. " This horse is driven to
harness and Is used as a running companion
to urge along the fast ones. Ho was thus
driven when Palo Alto made his record of
2:12t ( ' .
The horses have , as a whole , stood the trip
remarkably well. They hod a two days' rest
nt Ogden , and will remain hero until tomor
row. They were loaded on the car at the
ranch , the car being run onto the farm for
Unit purpose. The value of the string closely
approaches a cool quarter of a million.
In the boxes buck near the fence is n car
load of California gallopers , whbh came in
Wednesday , und will bo reshipncd this mom-
ing over the Northwestern for Prospect Park ,
Now York. They are the property of L. J.
Hose of Los Angeles. There nro ten runners
nnd ono trotter , and they shyw up well after
a rest of two days.
The stable includes Conrad , Oscar , Fairy ,
Rico , Hover , Peri , Flight , Masrico , Bianca
and Nikado. The trotter is Jimmy Few-
clothes , 2:2.'ijf : , nnd is the property of James
Goldsmith , to whom ho is being taken.
