JANUARY 29.18871 THE CRIMES OF A DAY. CLEVELAND, OHIO, HEADS THE LIST. A Deaperate Woman Kills Five of Iler Chil dren and Then Suicides—A Triple Tragedy—Mexican Horse Thieves —Other Crimes. James Cabaleke is a well-to-do carpen ter, of Cleveland, Ohio. His wife was out of temper at the breakfast table Thursday morning and refused to talk to her husband. After he and his oldest son went to work, the mother sent two sons, aged fourteen and fifteen, on er rands. When they returned they could not get into the house. In the back yard they found a younger brother bleeding from many wounds. They speedily called help and broke into the house and found their two little sisters, aged live and three, and a brother, aged three, dead from many stabs. A girl of eight was seriously hurt, and she with the boy found in the back yard will probably die. A bloody pair of shears told the story. A hunt was made for the mother. She was found in the cellar hanging from a rafter, dead. She had killed her three children, mortally injured two others and had then suicided. The two children who were still alive were removed to a neighbor’s house. No cause for the terrible deed is given. The husband does not think that his wife was insane. A TRIPLE TRAGEDY, Two Strange Men Assassinate a Young Mun and are Afterwards Killed. William E. Mead, aged 27, was mur dered in cold blood Thursday evening, being shot through the head while stand ing on the stoop of his father's store, on Railroad Avenue, in White Plains, N. Y. Two men were seen running away from the store after a pistol shot had been hteard, and Chief of Police Lee, with two officers, at once followed them. After the shooting the two men jumped into a sleigh and drove away, but having mistaken their way returned to the vil lage and were fired at by Chief of Police Lee and both of them killed. Great ex citement prevails in the village over the tragedy. The murdered man was highly esteem ed by all who knew him, and was not known to have an enemy. He leaves a wife and child. No motive for the mur der can yet be assigned. On the bodies of the murderers were found two new sheath daggers with ten-inch blades, one new mask, four heavy revolvers and time tables of the Harlem and New York city railway. Both men were strangers here. MEXICAN HORSE THIEVES. Large Number of Hemes Stolen—Two Men Murdered. The report that Jack McLane and Fred Aberdeen had been murdered at Farmer’s ranche near Hudson, in Grant county N. M., has been confirmed. A neighbor going to his ranche found McLane lying dead on the ground near the house with three bullet holes in his body. Just in side the house Aberdeen’s corpse was found on the floor. He had a bullet hole through his head, from which blood and brains had oozed. The bodies of both men had been stripped of all valuables, including clothing, boots and weapons, and the murderers had also ransacked the house, carrying away everything of value. After completing their*work the thieves stole the horses owned bv McLane, and then went to Indian Springs where they gathered in six more horses belong ing to Mr McLane. The excitement caused by the affair is intense all through Grant county. The perpetrators of the outrage are believed to be a part of the same gang of Mexican thieves and rob bers wiio were concerned in the killing of Deputy Sheriff Hall some time ag<* and if they are caught they will certainly be lynched. A DOUBLE MURDER. Particulars of a double murder near Murfreesboro, Ark., have ’>een received.

CONSTITUTION’S CENTENNIAL. The President Sends it Message Regarding Its Celebration. The President has sent the following message to congress: T<> the Senate and House of Represen tatives: As a matter of national interest, ami one solely within the discretion and control of congress, I transmit the ac companying memorial of the executive committee of the sub-constitutional cen tennial commission, proposing to cele brate, on the 17th of September, 1887, in the city of Philadelphia, as the day upon which and the place where the conven tion that framed the Federal constitution concluded their labors and submitted the re-ult lor ratification to the thirteen -fates then composing the United States. The epoch was one of the deepest interest and events worthy of commemoration. I am aware that as each state acted inde pendently in giving its adhesion to the new constitution, the dates and aniiiver -aries of their several ratifications are not coincident, so action looking to a national expression in relation to the celebration | of the close of the first century of popu lar government under the written consti tution has already been suggested, and whilst stating the great interest I share in the renewed examination by the Amer ican people of the historical foundation of their government, I do not feel war i anted in discriminating in favor of or against the propositions to select one day or place in preference to all others ; and therefore, content myself with convey ing to congress these expressions of pop ular feeling and interest upon the subject, hoping that in a spirit of patriotic co-op eration, rather than of local competition, ' fitting measures may be enacted by con gress which will give the amplest oppor tunity all over these United States, for a manifestation of the affection and the con fidence of a free and mighty nation in the institutions of the government, of which they are the fortunate inheritors, and under which unexampled prosperity has been enjoyed by all classes and condi tions in our social system. Groveh Cleveland. BOARDED BY BANDITS. A Texas Train Robbed ofa Large Amount Sunday morning, as the eastbound Texas and Pacific express was pulling out of Gordon, a small station sixty miles west of Fort Worth, two masked and armed men jumped on the engine and covered the engineer and fireman with their revolvers. The engineer was forced to pull ahead until the train reached if high trestle two miles cast of Gordon, As soon as the engine and baggage and mail car had passed over the trestle, the 1 train stopped, leaving the passenger coach on the trestle. At this point the masked men were reinforced by six as sistants. The robbers then went through the express car, taking ail the money and valuables in the safe, the amount being estimated at from $2,000 to $15,000, al though the Pacific express officials re fuse to state the exact amount stolen. The robbers then proceeded to the mail car, where they obtained twenty-eight registered packages. The passengers were not disturbed, and their coaches being on a high trestle they could not get out to assist the train men. There is no clue to the robbers. CHILDREN UNDER WATER. Ten Minutes Under Water and are Rescued Alive at Last. A sewer a quarter of a mile in length, running under Niagara Falls Ont., forms part of the bed of Muddy Run creek, which, during thaws in winter, is swol len into a rushing river of large volume, which empties itself into Niagara river over the precipice near the whirl pool rapids. This river was running fifteen miles an hour Saturday evening, when Bertha Farrel, aged four years, who was seated in a hand sled, slid into it. Her sister Blanche, aged ten, jumped in after her, and both were swept into the river. A rush was made for the other end of the sewer, and men secured by ropes, jumped into the water and waited for the chil dren to appear. Bertha came first, under the water, and Blanche followed on top. When taken out both were apparently I lifeless, but after much difficulty both were resuscitated. The children were in the water ten minutes, most of the time | submerged. accident to a yawl. The yawl “Outing,” on which Captain F. A. Claudman left St. Augustine, on a voyage around the world, was wrecked in a storm on Tuesday last at a point on the Florida coast a few miles north of Jupiter inlet. Captain Claudman and mate, George Miller, saved themselves from being submerged with the boat by , using kerosene, which stilled the waves and abated their fury. The boat and everything was lost. The men had an extremely narrow escape from drowning. I f 1.25 Per Annum; 75 cents for Six Months; 5 50 cents Tone Months; Single Copies I 5 ceute—ln Advance. OUR BIG BOOM.

Four Tramps Burned to Dentil in n Ixicked Freight Car. As a special freight train of nineteen cars, loaded with cotton was pulling into Paducah, Ky., on the line of the Chesa peak, Ohio and Southern railroad Mon day, one of the cars was discovered to be on fire. It had been taken on and locked at Memphis, being transferred from the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas rail road at that point. The engineer backed on the side track and the crew endeav oted to extinguish the flames with hose attachments. All they succeeded in doing, however, was*to prevent the fire from spreading to other cars. While removing the debris of the burned car, four dead bodies, charred beyond recognition, were discovered. They are supposed to have been tramps. Whether white or black it is impossible to say. The car was locked at Memphis, but the men must have en tered to their horrible fate through a window in the end, which could have, been opened from the outside. A WOMAN ON FIRE. Mrs. Butler, an old lady living with her family, at Athens Ga., was standing near an open fire Tuesday, when she dis covered that her dress was ablaze. She was by herself in the house.

Frantic with pain and fright she began tearing them from her and when first seen was sitting on the frozen ground trying to pull off her stockings all that was left on her. Dr. Benedict was at once summoned, and reached there in about fifteen minutes. When it was found that she was literally blistered all over, and some places the burn extends through the skin.
