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 0 go back to the scene of the tragedy, hot was put off the train because he hac “o money, and denied admittance to a ootel for the same reason.

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.

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. —Wall Street News. 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.” lulhlllbly Cure all Skin and Scalp Ills- cases, Scaly Eruptions, Itching*, and Irritations.

Drouth in Southwestern souri. 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.
