Harris stated to the body that as the letter from the first Columbus church failed to state the amount of funds •collected and expended for the carious ob jects by said church, he moved that the clerk be instructed to keep open a blank in the financial table for the insertion oi amounts contributed by the churches for various missionary purposes.

The liberal pro gressive government of France has opened to woman the largest sphere for useful- ness. Woman are there employed in nu merous branches of the government, espe cially in the postal service and in t e re- tail sale of tobacco, a government monopo ly ill h ranee. Many occupy clerkships in tue banks of Paris and thousands are con- nected with the extensive railway service ot that country. Of the total number of tTench railroad employes, 238,302, not less than 10,094 are women, according to the statistics of the year 1882. They have proved useful, not only ns clerks, lint also as ticket sellers and still more in replacing signal men along the track. The Eastern railway of France employes 2000 women in the last mentioned capacity. In the ap pointment of these the relatives of de ceased and living railway officials are usually preferred. The wnges of all wo men employes in France are very low, and it is significant of their modesty that they are willing to begin with an annual in come of $100 to $200, the most fortunate clerks increasing their salary to $900, and a few to $800 or $1000, after many years of hard labor. The British government employs numer- ous women as telegraph operators and clerks in the postal savings banks. The former are admitted at the age of fourteen upon an examination, although relatives of officials and professional men are first considered. Their wages range from eight to thirty shillings a week, and they are compelled to work eight hours daily, night work, however, being excluded. In Hol land, Belgium and Switzerland thousands of women are employed in the post office, and in Italy, the unmarried also in the tele graph department. In Russia nearly the entire telegraph service has been yielded to women, and even the clerkships of many banks have been entrusted to them. The Russian government is also contemplating their employment in the railway service. Many government offices have been opened to women in Austria. Here the registry and classification of the mail, as well as the sale of stamps, are conducted almost entirely by women. Their required age is eighteen years, and wages begin with about 40 cents a day. But they are discharged on marriage. Numerous operators on the telegraph linos are women, as well as in the railroad offices, where clerkships are increasingly Ailed with them. Their wages are very low, averaging about 50 cents per day. Germany is the country where the least number of women are employed in the civil service. The Prussian 'minister of posts and telegraph tried the experiment of entrusting to them the operation of the telegraph in 1874, but soon after came to the conclusion that it was a failure, and subsequently they were excluded from this branch; a very small number, however, were transferred to the postal department. On the whole, there is little inclination in Germany to admit women to the civil service, as plenty of men are willing to do this work for the lowest possible salaries. HORRIBLE WORK.

Cuba, Mo., September 23.—Six miles east of this place and three miles from Leesburg, on the old St. Louis and Spring- field wagon road, is situated what in early times was known as the James Davis farm, owned in late years by Malcolm Logan, a highly respected citizen of this (Crawford) county. ITis family consisted of a wife, a sou six years old, a female child of two years, an infant, of two and a half months and an adopted girl seven years old. Yes terday they occupied their comfortable home. To-day there is no home and fami ly. During the night all were murdered and the dwelling consumed by fire. This morning the body of Mr. Logan was found on the railroad one and one-half miles from his home, and near William Wallace's. The body was badly mangled by an eas-tbouud train, as it was carried enst from a large pool of blood, where he was doubtless killed. The hat, the skin of the scalp and the skull all show that he was killed by a sharp instrument, and the size of the gash indicates the blade of a hatchet. This bespeaks a crime horrible enough for one day in one county and one family, hut the ruined home of the mur dered man shows how depraved and fiend ish a robber can become. The light of the burning house was first seen by Mrs. Jane Davis, a neighbor, about 5 o’clock a. 111., and she sent word to Mr. McNichol, another neighbor. The house, which was a large log building weather- boarded. was about all consumed when approached by the neighbors. Some charred remains of the inmates were dis covered during the day. Logan’s mur dered wife was found near the door. There was a hatchet lying near. The sup position is that the same hatchet that murdered the husband and father in the hands of a demon murdered the wife and all the children, with the exception, per haps of the infant, which the fire could have overtaken without further human agency than the application of the torch. Mr. Logan was seen at work in his field late yesterday evening, and the commonly expressed theory is that he was enticed from his home on the pretense that some person needed assistance, and was mur dered for money supposed to be in his house, as it had been reported that he had sold some land tor $1300. 4’lnetnnntliin Murdered in Missouri. The following dispatch was received by Mr. Robert Little, jr., yesterday afternoon: j Leesburg, Mo., September 22.—Robert \ Little, jr. ; Logan was found on the rail road and is supposed to have been mur dered. His wife and children were burned uu with the house. John West, j 'Malcolm Logan is of Cincinnati. He was employed by the Pan-Handle Railroad I Company for about twelve years. Seven years ago he left the city with his family and located at Leesburg. Mo., where he , met his death. One of the children was adopted by the family about one year ago. j A Fractured Skull. Newburg, N. Y., September 21.—Hugh O’Connor, a farmer residing at Goshen, was struck last nitfht on the head with a , brick thrown by Jesse Defrieze, who, with his brother and two brothers named De- j irroat, were engaged in a drunken brawl at Stapes Corners Hotel. O’Connor, when struck, was in the act of making peace. The result of his injuries was found to he a badly fractured skull. Doctors Pel! and Jessup attended him and give it as their opinion that he cannot possibly recover. An ante-mortem statement was taken, which fixes the throwing of the missile on Jesse Defrieze. All four men are now lodged in jail and will be given a hearing before Justice Coleman to-morrow. Civen & Consulship. They Attem|>t to Murder Kuril Otlirr—Property llrloiiulnu In Onr Burned In the Ground. Richmond, Ind., September 22.—The circuit court room this afternoon was crowded with people, drawn there by the sensational trial ol George Washington Ranck, of this county, who has been in dicted for arson. While there is much sensational testimony to be adduced and an equul opinion of the public as to the defendant's guilt, there are many things that will not he brought out, hut which will show the war that has been waged between brothers for many years. For many years George G. Knock was n wealthy citizen of the western part of this county, owning 1300 acres of fine land and other property valued at $10,000. He had a family of nine children, among them two sons, George Washington and Jotter son. For years before the old man's death these two brothers were enemies, and their enmity was caused by Jefferson accusing liis father of being more liberal with his money to “Wash” than with him. Numer ous quarrels took place, and at last the brothers quit speaking to each other, and held no conversation for over eight years. In 1883 the old man Ranck died and the vast estate was divided among the chil dren. “Wash” wanted the old home place, but did not get it. On this place were a beautiful farm house and the largest and best.arranged barn in the county. Tills barn alone, without its con tents, was worth $5001). One night the farm house burned, and everything in it was destroyed. A lew mouths later the barn went up in smoke, with a large quan tity of grain and implements. A short time after a set of platform scales were torn out. Jefferson Ranck accused his brother Washington of committing these acts of vandalism, and made no secret of his accusations. While the detectives were trying to ferret out the fire-bug another battle be tween the brothers was fought. A corn field situated close to the Fayette and Wayne county line was in dispute, each brother claiming it. Last fall Washington Ranck was at work in this field when he was fired on by an ambushed assassin and his body filled with shot. Though hit at close range, no vital spot was touched, and in a month or so the wounded man was able to go before the grand jury and indict his brother JefferBon for assault and bnt- tery with intent to kill. Jefferson was arrested and tried at Connersville. Through some jugglery of law he was found guilty of simple assault and fined $400 and costs, the expense of the county being over $1000. Then Washington entered suit for dam ages against Jefferson, claiming $5000, and securing a verdict for $200, and there are now In this court half a dozen law suits in which the brothers appear either as plain tiff or defendant. But Jefferson had not been idle, and secured the indictment of his brother oil a charge of arson, accusing him of burning the barn spoken of. Some of the best legal talent in the county has been employed on both sides. There are ninety-two witnesses for the state and thirteen for the defense, and some grand and lofty swearing may be ex pected.

He left for Wash ington early yesterday morning. Mr. Lor mar has been spending n few weeks up in New Hampshire hills, and he appears to be much benefltted by the bracing air of that region. His vacation has had a flavor of romance. It was passed in the company of his financed, who is a handsome Geor gia widow. There is no longer much doubt that Mr. Lamar is about to follow in the president’s footsteps and get married. The name of the lady is Mrs. Holt, and she resides in Macon, Ga. She is handsome, accomplished, the pos sessor of a fortune, and is a member of one of the best families in the south. It is an old love affair renewed, they say. Mr. Lamar was one of her early suitors, but owing to the caprice of fate and an un happy misunderstanding they were sepa rated. Years rolled by. When they next met Mr. Lamar was n widower and his former sweetheart a widow. Mr. Lamar found that he had not lost his interest in the charming sweatheart of his younger days. The wedding will take place, ;it is said, some time this winter. ON THE TRACK. I’he Brooklyn Jerky <’inb lines Yesterday.

Lucius Motley, of North Dun- ville, whose dead body wus found near his father’s residence Tuesday morning last, appears to have been the result of violence, and not of uu accident, as reported. His family, dissatisfied with the verdict of ac cidental death, employed detectives, who have evidence to show that young Motley was murdered und his body thrown into tlie place where it was found. John Quinn | has been arrested and committed to jail charged with the murder. He is a strong, | powerful young man, noted for u fighting , disposition and feats of strength. The evi- j deuce is that Motley attended the circus ' Monday night and went subsequently into ! a bar room and called for a drink. The ac cused, accompanied by an Italian, entered the bar room at the same time. Motley ! invited the Italian to drink, Hut ignored the accused, saying that he “didn’t drink with niggers.” An altercation ensued, and the accused was put out of the room, lie j then stationed himself on Motley’s path, waylaid and killed him and tiirew his body ! over tlie embankment.
