Got. Lamar St. and Cotton Ave.
Wilminotox, April 18.—IcformaUon
was received this morning of one of the
mo»t brutal murder, in the hlitory of
Cecil county, Md.
It occurred at Porter’s Bridge, a email
place about three milee east of Colons,
Md. The victims were Mrs. Elizabeth
Itlchards and J. Granville Klcbarde, who
live there with their children.
The husband and father. J. Granville
Rlcharde, Is Inspector in the Baltimore
Custom House and an ex-member of
the Maryland legiilature from Cecil
county. Mrs. Richards was the daugter
of Frank Langdon, a well known cttlzen
of Cecil county.
Husband and wife retired later than
usual last evening. Mr. Richards fell et
onoe Into a doze. Mrs. Richards, who
had not yet gone to sleep, was startled
at 1 o’clock by an unusual nolle In the
back room, and ehe saw the figure of a
man in the doorway.
She arose upright in bed, bat before
ehe could utter a word the ruffian fired
upon her. The ball entered the back
of her head, penetrating the brain. She
fell back upon the bed.
The report of the revolver ‘ aroused
the hneband. He jumped out of bed
with a bound.
The burglar fired again, and the ehot
struck Mr. Richards in the left side. He
staggered, then with a desperate effort
made a grasp for the throat of his assail
ant, while the latter withdrew down the
stairway, firing as be went.
All the shots went wide of their mark
until the two men reached tho hallway
down stairs. It was intensely dark, and
Mr. Richards could only hear tho in
truder retreating.
At the bottom of the stairs tho as
sailant turned again and flrod, tho ball
striking Mr. Richards In the stomach.
Here Mr. Richards thinks a second bur
glar came upon the scene and lalned his
companion t» finish Ids murderous
work.
Having discharged all their shots at
Mr. Rlehards. the men set about beating
him to death with an iron poker or
jimmy.
Mr. Richards fell unconscious tg Uip
floor, and- lay there while Ills wife
breathed her last upstairs, and the mar-
derere made a hasty search of the
premises.
It is thought this was only a blind,
however, as the only things they took
were a gold watch and $80 In money.
The men then made their escape and
have not be caught.
The husband, although conscious, Is
lying in a precarious condition. The

forcibly, involving In its ruius our Ur-

C. Odom was proprietor and chief finan

This is about the greatest shock our
city and its surroundings have over re
ceived, and several of our most influen
tial citizens are sufferers.
We learn that Mr. Odom’s liabilities
will reach about $40,000. He has many
friends In this community and they hope
to see him right aide up again soon.

Senator Bruwn's Birthday.
Atlanta, April 18.—[8pedAl]—Sena
tor Joseph X. Brown celebrated his 70th
birthday this afternoon at his residence.
It Is also the seventeenth anniversary
the marriage of his daughter to Dr. E.
L. Connally, and would have been the
birthday ot hit son, Frank, had he lived.
A Card from Mr. Burkhmlter.
The Tiueh-Recoriikr: I have been
absent from the city a day or two on
business, and return to find myself
famous by your unsolicited nomination
for the presidency of the stato Alliance.
Of course gratitude forbids us to look
gift horse In the mouth, yet my sense
of duty and obligation Impels me to sug
gest that my nomination docs nut come
from quite the right quarter.
I might suggest in this connection that
all nominations in that dlreotlun arc
superfluous now; for if there is anything
upon which Alliancemen of Georgia aro
now agreed it is that the Hon. L. F. Liv
ingston shall succeed himself to that
high position. Aside from his eminent
fitness for the place nothing haa contri
buted more to thia result than the re-
lontiess war waged against him from the
outside, lod by a few malcontente on
the Inaldo in the path of whose ambition
ho has boon the lion of .itrepgtb and
truth.
1 am at a loss as to the proper con
struction of yonr expression: “The taet
that he is not a confederate renders,” etc.
If yon intend thereby to read me out
of the rank* of Confederate veterans I
shall moist emphatically demur.
I did not, however attain tho distinc
tion of Colonel, with which you dubbed
me, and have been ao fortunate as not
to be added to the numerous army of
Colonels on Hla Excellency’s staff.
With sincere regard for tho honor yon
do mo, and frith the hope that the day
1* not far distant when all uutaldere will
see that tho object of tho Alliance w to
better the condition ot the whole conn-
try and will oease their useless war on
tho order, I subscribe myself yonr hum
ble and honored friend,
D. C. N. Bubkraltxb.

On tearing the depot all the risltore
except Mrs. Harrison, who pleaded fa
tigue, wera taken In charge by eltitens
and given a drive over the city. The
president was reminiscent, end asked to
be drawn In the country to tho placet
over which he passed during the late
war.
His wish was gratified, and on reach
ing tho place he left the carriage and
walked about a half mile down the road,
to the consternation of the rustics who
stood about him.
From 7 to 0 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Har
rison stood In tho rotnnda of the cspitol
shaking hnnds with the thousands of
peoplo who had flocked there to greet
them.
From 0 until 11 p. m. they were tho

some sweet muslo in the front yard,
white a great crowd thronged about the
fenoe and around the door unable to
even see the little man who leads the
Republican party In America,

The boys bare been playing ball reg
ularly every afternoon this week, and
are thoroughly aroused on the subject
Last night a meeting was bold and a
team fully organised. Sixteen names
were pat on the list, and otheri will

bare ball team.
The boy* are all enthusiastic and will
hare as strong an smatenr nine

and help should be given them to do
this. Ail are anxious for the game, and
there should be so trouble In raising a
little money to help the boys out.

Mr. J. M. Cranston returned to A mer-
lcm last night from Augusta. He will
leave again for the Fountain City this
afternoon, and this time bo goes to re

His many friends here will greatly re
gret hie going, h|it are glad to know of
his success In getting snob an Important
position with such a good company. He
has done splendid work for the Equita
ble around here, and leaves that compa
ny with regret.
Those of our citizens who have been
out fishing reoently, state that this Is
undoubtedly the beet season for sport
of this kind that we hare bad in years.
Mnekalee creek Is the resort for those
who can not go far, and many lino
specimens of the finny tribe have been
caught. The dredging of the stream
b*» greatly Improved it, and many flab

Died of Starvation.
Cincinnati, April 18.—Frank Slerp, a
poverty-stricken music teacher, 05 years
old, lived in a tenement at 210 Hunt
street. Neighbors missing him, entered
his room, and found him apparently in
prayer at a chair. He was dead, snd the
coroner found that he bad died of star
vation.
John Jackson Is the negro who was
brought bore last week, found guilty In
Wilcox superior oonrt of tho murder of
Mr. Bee Brown, of Rochelle.
He is under sentence to hang the 20th
of next month, and was brought here
lor safe keeping.
The jail there Is not as secure as it
might be, and no prisoner ever incarce
rated in there has had more outside
friends.
It Is only a short time now until the
date of the execution, and the officers
are taking great precautions to see that
the prisoner does not escape.
For tho past few days two machinists
bare been busy eUnohlng through the
floor an Immense pleoa of iron. To this
were clinched four chains, very hugs,
and about three feet In length. Such an
arrangement Is needed in the jail In Its
condition, and yesterday It was pnt to.
its first nse.
Jackson was carried Into the room
where this was fixed, and viewed the
chains with a fearful eye. He evidently
didn't ralUih the idea of being chained
down, bat never uttered a word.
He wae hare-foot, and aa he was told
to hold one of his feet out, bs seemed to .
shudder a little. The machinist pnt an
Iron bracelet around tho ankle, and pro
ceeded to strongly clinch it to one of
the chains.
Jseksoa stood ths operation well, snd
not a word escaped him. Only when
the job was done, snd ths jailor tried
the shackle to see If It would slip off
did he speak. He then winced s little, ’
and said: “That hurts.” Jv
Jackson appears to be anywhere from
25 to 30 years old, snd Is of a light gin
ger cake color. He admits tbs shooting,
but claims that it was done In self do-
fence.
The need of a new jail becotns daily
more apparent, and but for the watch
fulness of the officers there would be
many jail deliveries to report.
