of a family named Bender, who Ilred noar Cher*

painful interne! i

At time passes and new light la thrown npon
T . .. l.-n.ns deeds of the Bender family of
flendi, the horror deepens and the orimes com
mitted by these monsters assume even a darker
bne. New facts are almost daily developed
which show that these people were not alone in
the section of tho State in which they live in
Ibeir plots against the lives of wayfarers —
Already twelve arrests have boon made of peo-
C e living In tho neighborhood, and who, there
good reason to believe, were the accomplices
of the mnrderers In disposing of the horses and
vehicles of the victims. It is thought that there
ere other bodiee, in addition to those that havo
been found, concealed in the orchard, only one
part of which baa been explored. It is the pur
poee of the oonnty authorities to oontinne the
search. On Sunday two special trains were run
to the soene of the murders. One went from
Independence and the other from Ooffeyville.
They brongbt down tally one thousand sight
seers, who went about peering into the holes
wbenoe the bodies had been taken, and on tbelr
return carried away with them pieces of the
wretohed shanty which baa reaonnded with the
moans and groans of so many murdered men.
thk oarm's kitciizx,
otherwise the Bender nonae, is admirably sltna*
led for the pnrposo to which the fiends put it.
It is in tho northwest oorner of Labette oonnty,
nad is so placed that it commands a fall view of
t ..■■ approaches to it fur a distance of half a mile
in ail directions. Woe, then, to the single trav
eller who was seen from its doorways or its win-
<!•■*■< r.pjirosrhuig, for then was the hammer
plaoed in position and the knife sharpened to a
finer edge against his ooming. Parties of two
or three might escape, bat the solitary stranger
was doomed. The house is nothing bat a mere
shanty, twanty-fonr feet long and sixteen feet
wide. The roof is painted, and not a sign of
latb, plaster or whitewash ia to be seen. The
interlur la one long room, and while the Benders
occupied it, it was divided off into to apartments
by a white cotton doth which bang aoross the
whole length of it. In the front room was a
small counter, and across this oonnter the Ban
dars made n pretence of selling groceries. On
the other side of the enrtaln was a table, a stove,
three chairs, and a miserable sort of a bed. In
the floor, near the doth partition, in this rear
room was a trap-door. Over the trap-door was
placed the chair of the victim who stopped at
the den for food or refreshments. He was ao

his bond and baok was made in the yielding
doth. The watchfnl villains—the two male
Benders—on the other aide of the curtain, hold
ing tho heavy sledge-hammer In tbelr hands,
I the guest's form was thus outlined.
waited nntll the guest'
Then with one terrible blow the viotim's aknll
wonld bo ernehed in, and as the murdered man
would fall forward heavily on the table the trap
door wonld ho spmng and the helpless body
wonld fall into too cellar or speratnre below.
Then wonld oome tho work of the women, wbiob
was to desoeDd, and with a sharp knife to out
the throat of tho unconscious man. This was
the probslo course of ovontB tjist aooompanled
too ooumilesion of tho crimes of the Benders.
Here and there In tho walls of the shanty are
visible, however, holes mu do by pistol bnllets,
and It is clear tlint some of their victims at leaat
made attempts, howover ineffectual, to avenge
their murder before codscIoubuoss left them.
risToxa and xnivxs von A atjrrzn.
It is related ns nmotig the lnoldentg connect
ed with this death hole that one night about
throe months ago, a poor woman on her way on
foot to Indepoadonoo, about fifteen miles dis
tant, stopped at too shanty and asked the in
mates for food and ebolter. Hbo lay on tho
rndo bed for a while nnd dropped into an nn-
oaav sleep. Hnddeuly sho was awakoned by ;
tap on her shoulder. Sho openod her eyes and
saw before her the old bag of the place, the
wife of tho elder Bender, who pointed to the
tablo on which lay a glittering array of knivos
nnd pistols, ami said sardonically: “Look
there at your snppor; it is ready!” Tho poor
woman, seized with mortal fear, yet minsged
to disaemblo her truefoelings. Making an cx-
onse to leave tho house, her fright being inten
sified by the sight of tho beldamo passing her
Huger over the keen edges of tho knives, she
passed Into tho yard. Oaco out, ahe atnggored
sway in the darkness, and so escaped; bnt,
looking back at Intervals, sho oonld see the
door opentog and shutting as too iatended mur
derors came to it, expecting her return,

With the exception of Ur. York, Henry F.
McKenxla and G. W. Longeor and daughter,
whose families took charge of their remains
and bnried thorn at Independence, the bodies of
those fonud in too garden graves woro quietly
taken by silent men who know them not, yet
longed for vengeanco on their assassins, Co the
base of a high monnd abont a mile to tho
nontoeoat of the devil's kitahen, and there
second timo returned them to the earth to sleep

vno nrer wxni.
The flrat of tho eight bodies discovered was
Dr. York, of Indepcndcnoo. Mr. Longoor was
a neighbor of Dr. York’s, from whom ho had
purchas'd a team just before he started for
Iowa last December. Ho and hts infant obild
were buried in one grave. Ho, as all the other
moo, had the back of the aknll orashed in and
broken, and his throat cut, and the body stripped
of nearly all clothing. The child was plaoed at
tho father's feet, without a braise or mark of
vlolenoo, and with all its little clothes on, even
the hood and mittens, and many jndgo that the
infant had been bnried alive. The othera were
L. G. Brown, W. F. MoOrotty, H. F. McKenzie,
Toler Boyle, and some unrecognized.
A kunouno nuaisEss.
Although for the past three years this section
has been infested with horse thieves and mur
derers, and this known to every one abont the
country, it is probable the same state of affairs
might havo continned for an indefinite period
lud Dot tho mnrder of Dr. York, a man of fam
ily, friends and reputation, led to tho exposure.
Meu have been misled and bodies fouod of
uinrdered men for three years past, and “vigi-
leaoe committees" have hnnted and driven
some men from the oonntry; bnt it would now
seem as though the leaders of the “regulators"
were themselves the villians, and honest men
had been falsely and fonlly snspooted and driven
from their homes. And even toe band of sev
enty-five armed and honest men who scoared the
oonntry in search of Dr. York, when it was
learned he was missing, seemed to have had
very little judgment or discretion. On the 28tb
of March last, Oolonel York and Mr. Johnson
visited the Bender honae, to which plaoe they
had tracked Dr. York, and indeavored to coax
some information from them, bnt they wonld
tell nothing. On the 3d of April, this armed
band visited the house with toe sole object of
finding the mnrderers of Dr. York, yet they did
not notice the ballet holes in the home, and al
lowed themselves to be fooled by an assnmed
stnplflity which was the disguise of most hellish
canning. The old hsg sat mnm and gloomy,
pretending she oonld not understand or speak
English; old Bender said nothing; Kate, sbeof
the ovil eye, denied all knowledge of the lost,
and the younger male villain fooled them with
a well madc-np story. He said that abont tbe
timo they said Dr. York was missed, he (Bender)
had dxxn shot ax
in a lonesome place near Dram Greek one
evening, and it must have been by those who
killed tbe doctor. He described the place mi
nutely and then took them to it, and it was
found fas he said, and they half believed his
story and returned with him. Colonel York,
repeated the story given above, of supper, of
pistols and knives offered to tho lone woman,
when the old hag soon foend her sense of the
English language improved. She understood
all that had been said and flew into a violent
passion. She denied the story cf the supper,
lint said hat that was a bad and,'wicked woman,
whom a_e wonld kill if ever she came near
them again; tost toe woman was a witch and
had bewitched Kate's coffee, and then she or
dered the whole band aw.av. While going and
coming from the creek, John told Oolonel York
that his sister Kate could do anything—that she
could control tbe devil, and that the devil did
her bidding. When they returned to the boose
Colonel York tried to induce this wonderful
mistress of the devil to reveal where the body
of hia brother was. She positively and per
sistently refused her Satanic aid at this time,
giving as a reason therefor that ahe oonld not
do so in the day time, and while there were
ao many men and so mneb noise abont.
AX INVITATION.
The pretended sorcerers and reel fiend then
told Colonel York privately that if he would
come the next night, Friday—when beet she
worked her spells—and bring only one man
with him, she would take him to toe grave of
hia murdered brother. Had toe oolonel been
ao foolish as to believe toe mysterious power of
this creature, there is no doubt she would have
proved her promises good. The whole band
then left tho honse. They visited the houses
of Roach and Smith and Harness, at Ladore
and made many threats and accomplished noth
ing. Their intent was good, but they laeked
an experienced detective for a leader. So strong
was their eonviotion, however, of toe guilt of
toe Roaches aad tbe Bandera that they" would
have hnng them thee if it bad not been for toe
persuasion of Colonel York aad a few others,
who were determined that none but tbe known
guilty should suffer. Of oonrae this visit alarmed
the Benders, and they fled.
TEf trusDZBors oano.
No doubt is entertained that toe Benders have
not been alone in their damnable viUany. They
put bay# bad confederates Vo dispose of tbe
■took and olotbes of the murdered men, and
suspicion has readily pointed to a number of
men, living throughout that section, in differ
ent directions. Twelve persona in all have been
arrested on suspicion.
The Reel Cent of Mewing Machines.
The New York correspondent of the Buffalo
Courier makes tbe following surprising revela
tion:
While In New Haven I bad for a neighbor an
ingenious eud able master mechanic, a machin
ist, who had contributed not a little to tbe perfect
ing of toe lesdieg original sewing machine, not
only by hia mechanical skill, bnt by hia own in
ventions. Looking npon the perfected sewing
machine, in tbe exquisite nicety of its peris,
as a ooatly piece of work, and making hunffi-
cient allowance for the labor-saving powers of
modern machine-tools, I bad always discredited
the assertions made by opponents and denied
by supporters of the sewing machine monop
oly, that the coat of the $60 machines wonld
not exceed $12.
But I fonnd from this machinist that the as
sorted cost has been over-stated In fact by at
least one-third, for fear of being incredible;
as I have confes'ed it was to me, even then.
The ooat of tho Howe sewing maohine is given
me by the very man who (as mechanic) proba
bly did most to make practicable, and has had
most thorough knowledge of its manufacture,
aa nine dollar*, all told, table inclnded 1 The
Wheeler ,fc Wilson machine, made In the same
plaoe (Bridgeport, Conn.), my informant says
was calculated by the manufacturers as costing
seven dollars, table and all. Of the Singer ma
chine be had no exact knowledge, bnt judged
it abont or. spar with the Wheeler A Wilson in
cost. The Wilcox A Gibbs, from its simplicity,
ought not to cost more than five dollars.
Finally he showed me a little machine of his
own invention and construction, (the only one
ever made), so simple in meohanism that he
averred it conld be mannfactnred in the best
possible manner for five dollars, rndmiably and
evidently ahead of any two-thread machine I
have ever seen in stillness and ease of motion,
reqniring scarcely more power and making
hardly a louder whisper than tbe Wiloox k Gibbs
itself. Some day, in the hands of a less inge
nious bnt more worldly wisa inheritor than the
Inventor, this pieoe of exqnlsite simplicity and
originality in sewing mechanism will probably
take a high place among the multiplying candi
dates for ladies’ favor. Bat that will be after
tbe present monopoly, whose vast power con
trols the market, shall have been broken by the
dissolution of its patents, Jetting in the waves of
free competition.

The General Synod of the Reformed Chnrch
In America meets in New Brunswick, New Jer
sey, on tbe 4th of Jane, and will be composed
of two hnndred and four delegates. Tbe Re
formed Chnrch .muibers 4111 churches, 509
ministers, and G4,214 ooararanieants, its con
tribntmns for all purposes reaohing last year
$1,066,492 AS. Its strength lies abont New
York City aad along the Hudson and abont New
Brunswick, and the region about Chicago is
now being well planted with Reformed churches.
It was originally a transplant of the Ohnrob of
Holland, and has the largest number of mem-
hers in places settled by tbe Batch.
A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Now Brunswiok, says that tbe
most important business that will come before
the Reformed Synod is the question of union
with the Presbyterian Chnrch South, and that
ovorlnres of such a nature will be made by the
General Assembly of the Utter chnroh now in
session at Little Rock, Ark. Tbe only differ
ence between the two chnrobes being in tbe re
lation of elder and deaoonship. The Presbyte
rian Chnrch South oonsists of fifty-six presby
teries, 912 ministers, 1,545 chnrobes, and 91,-
■JOH oommnnieants, its contributions last year
amounting to tho very respectable anm, under
the eironmatanees, of $1,083,799. It tons ap
pears that the body which seeks anion with toe
Reformed Chnrch is twioe the size of the Utter,
though of no greater, and probably leas, wealth.
And while toe Reformed ministry outnumbers
its churches, the opposite is toe case in the
Southern Preabyterian Chnrch.—Haitimore Sun.
