A Boy’s Terrible Crime.
He Kills his MotUer, his Aunt and his
Cuusin, and OomnUts Suicide.
It has remained for a small boy in
Ohio to commit the monumental orime
of the year:
At Waynesvillp, Warren county, a
small town about fifty miles north of
Cincinnati, lived a Mrs. Hatte, a widow
thirty-five years of age. She had been
divorced from a former husband named
Anderson, and had living with her a
son named Willie, the product of her
first marriage. On the 26th of August
her sister, a Mrs. Weeks, of Cincinnati,
came up to visit her, bringing with her
a young daughter. The boy Willie was
a bright, dutiful fellow, and the money
which he earned in the village printing
office was the main support of Mrs.
Ilatte. After the arrival of the visitors
from Cincinnati the house of Mrs. Hatte
was closed and Willie gave out that the
lolk had gone to Cincinnati. After the
lapse of a week people passing the
house observed a horrible smoll. Final
ly the town marshal broke open the
door and discovered the dead bodies of
the two women and the little girl lying
there in an advanced stage of decompo
sition. Mrs. Hatte’s skull had been
crushed in, apparently with a blow
from a hatchet, and her body was found
lying under the bed with much of her
face eaten away by the rats. Mrs.
Week’s throat had been out while she
was lying on the bed, and the little girl
stabbed in the breast while lying on o
pallet on the floor, where Bhe slept.
The house was in the utmost disorder,
blood being smeared over the beds and
floor, though a bag of lime bad been
bought in, evidently since the commis
sion of the crime, aud emptied on the
floor, to act as a disinfectant and absorb
the odor of the decaying flesh. The
hoy Willie, the undoubted author oi
the crime, went to Cincinnati just be-
tore this discovery, hunted up his fath
er, slept with him all night at a hotel
without referring to anything unusual
in connection with the family at
n aynesvillo. Next morning he started

Views of a Banker.
New York News.
‘‘When Secretary Sherman says that
he considered these subscriptions in the
order in which they were made and
granted the extension accordingly, he
makes a statement not in accord with
the facts,”
“How so?”
, “The day upon which our subscrip
tions were made was idontical; the day
that the subscription list was handed in
to the Secretary of the Treasury was
identical, and the price offered by the
several banks was identical.”
“Then I understand you to say that
the subscription of your bank, whioh
has been required to pay up in full, was
made at the same time as that of the
First National Bank, which has not paid
up?” F
“Yes.”
“Then do I understand you to say
that Secretary Sherman haB publicly
made a misstatement?”
“Oh, no; he has made a statement
that is calculated to deceive the public.
Literally, he is correct in saying that
the First National Bank subscribed af
ter we did.”
“How do you reconoile the statement,
then, that your subscription was identi
cal with that of the First National
Bank ?”
“Well, you see, we signed on the same
day, but our subscription was signed
at 12 o’clook, and the First National did
not sign until 3 o’clock. That is how
Mr. Sherman is literally correct, and
vet makes a statement whioh is calcu-
, ated to deceive'the publio.”
“Do you regard this as a favor to the
Firet National Bank ?”
“Well,the extension bringB into their
coffers i of one per cent, on $40,000,-
000.”
“What do you mean by their coffers ?
Am I to understand that Secretary
Sherman shares the profits of the First
National Bank?”.
“Well, I would not like to say that in
so many words, because ii would be
hard to prove; but shrewd men—men
who make it their business to inquire
into the secret motives of great finan
cial transactions—do not hesitate to Bay
that, between the advance, ia the price
of 4 per cents, and the interest due to
the Government by the First National
Bank, Secretary Sherman, if he was so
disposed, could—yes, will—realize over
half a million dollars. You know the
First National Bank is the outgrowth
of Jay Cooke, McCullough & Co. Its
capital is comparatively small. < Two
per cent, increase on its subscription to
the 4 per cents, would have doubled its
capital, and corresponding decrease
would have swamped it.”
Louisville Courier-Journal: The
Washington correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Commercial-Gazette says:
‘•The action of Secretary Sherman
since his return here in reference to the
publication of information from bis De
partment has excited much unfavora-
jle comment, both in newspaper circles
and among his own friends. It appears
that the attacks of the Democratic press
on the policy of the Treasury with
reference to the refunding operations,
have given him great offense, and as a
means of retaliation he resorted to the
plan of establishing a supervision in his
own office of all news sent out from the
Department for publication. This step
is looked upon as one of questionable
wisdom, and an exhibition of weakness
which it would be supposed a person of
Secretary Sherman’s experience in pub
lic life would never nave committed.
The interest in the outcome of the set
tlement of the First National Bank of
New York will now become more con
spicuous than ever, and owing entirely
to his sensitiveness on this subject,
which hie enemies will construe to im
ply more behind his feelings than the
public yet know.’’
This Republican criticism of oner-
man iB significant. Mr. Sherman, by
taking the unlawful action specified,
has convinced everybody acquainted
with his alleged illegitimate connection
with the banks, that there is a great
deal of truth in the charge of using the
public Treasury as his private bank.
The Secretary has no right whatever to
prevent the public from knowing what
transactions he is engaged in of a public
nature. His desire to conceal the acts
of the Treasury Department will in
crease the suspicion whioh long since at
tached itself to him.
A wealthy English parvenu, who be
gan life with a lapstone on his knee, in
vited Kullak, the great pianist, to din
ner, and immediately after the meal
insisted on his playing for the compa
ny. Kullak complied, and invited the
snob to a dinner at his residence on the
following Sunday. After the meal,
Kullak astonished his guests by placing
a pair of old shoes before his rich par-
venue friend. . ..
“What are the.e for?” queried the
latter.
Kullak replied:
“Last Sunday you did me the honor
to invite me to dinner and insisted
upon my playing with music. I have
returned the compliment, and require
my shoes to be mended. Every man
to his own trade.”

Narrow Gauge Railroads.
The Railway Age publishes a list of
the narrow guage roads completed and
in operation in the.Bpring of the present
year, and in editorial comments it states
that “narrow gauge roads are destined
to take an important part in the rail
way system of the land.” The list ar
ranged by States, and the several roads
named with their mileage. We give

. Not for Alonzo.
There is an old saying that “actions
speak louder than words.” The Re
publicans of New York have nomina
ted A. B. Cornell for Governor. He is
one of Vanderbilt’s henchmen, a direc
tor of that great monopoly “the West
ern Union Telegraph company,” and
as Governor could veto every aot passed
by the Legislature that was against the
interest of the Vanderbilt corporation.
Of course it would be very nice for the
“great untaxed” to have one of his fol
lowers in so important a position, but it
shows how little he knows the present
temper of the people of this State if he
expects them to elect a representative
of the corporation to so imoportant an
office when every part of the Stale is
aroused against the grasping avarice of
the Vanderbilt roads, and when they
are determined to put an end to his in
famous charges. We are astonished
that he dare invite any such contest.
\Ye acknowledge that a liberal ubs of
his money will accomplish much, but
it will not succeed in electing A. B.
Cornell, the corporation candidate, to
the position of Governor of New York.

An HoneBt Confession.
Of Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston it
is related that one day in Utah when
his command was *wo days distant from
a mailing station, he found that a cap
tain had returned to the camp forget
ting to post a letter which the General
had intrusted to him. But all the com
mander said was; “I can imagine no
excuse for such carelessness, Captain.”
Not long after, the General himself dis
covered in a winter coat, which had
been packed away, a letter which a long
time before he had reoeived from the
surgeon, with the request that ho post
it. He had taken it to the station, for
gotten to post it, and it had remained
in the pocket for six months. The con
scientious General first apologized to
the surgeon and then he sent for the
captain and said: “I beg your pardon for
reproving you for an offence in which I
myself set the example.”

Messrs. Weeks A Potter: Gentlemen—I have

years, commencing In my hoad and face end

called my attention to an artlole in the Union

The first application was a great relief, and the
third took the scales all off, and I fell like a
new man. I have used three 60 cent boxes and
my ekln Is smooth, and I consider myself en
tirely cared. Hoping that thle may bo seen by

Mis-
Springfiei.d, Mo., Sept. 6.—The long
continued drouth in this section of the
State isbeginning to excite alarm. There
has been no rain fur six weeks past, and
two-thirds of the wells and cisterns of
this city are dry. Throughout the
country matters are equally serious, as
the wells, streams and springs have
ceased to supply water for stock, and
farmers anticipate trouble and loss un
less relief comes at an early day. For
tunately the crops are all made, but
the ground is baked so hard as to make
fall plowing out of the question. Re
ports from neighboring counties show
an equally bad condition off affairs.
We may escape the disasters predict
ed by the wise men to ioljow certain
performances of the planets, but, accord
ing to a Western papor, the opening of
the Panama canal will result in a new
and startling danger. This stamped
ed editor tells tie that the earth revolves
at a terrific rate down there, and that
“if that ditch is dog the water from the
Atlantio will rush through it at a ter-
rifio speed, and the liquid that now
finds relief by forming the gulf stream
will quickly wash away the Isthmus of
Darien qud leave North America a deso
late island, with no means whereby we
can get off. There is no saying where
this appalling waste of earth will stop.
