upon many subjects within the scope of

lion* * a certain cn P»city for this voea-
11 Is in the civil service of European
states that they have been most successful
during the last decade. 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.

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.

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.

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.

New York, September 24.—The World
this morning publishes the following:
Secretary Lamar was at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel Mouday evening. 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.

Danville, Va., September 20. — The
death of J. 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.
Ely’s Cream Balm was recommended to
me by my druggist as a preventative to j

since tlie 0th of August, and have found it

some disease. For ten years or more 1
have been a preat sufferer each year, from
August 9th till frost, and have tried many j
alleged remedies for its cure, but Ely's i
Cream Balm is the only preventative I
have ever found. Hay fever sufferers j
ought to know of its efficacy.
