A MM* Girl Fearf*|ly Treated and Her

Toledo. 0.. Novembi r s—{Special.)-—Ono
oT the most horrible crimes in the calen
dar or in the world’s history was commit
ted near the t">vn of I'aubling. a county
eeat several mil *s west of this city, some
time yesterday, but the awful evidences of
it were not discovered until this forenoon.
Two small children, a boy aged eight and
a girl »giii six. were murdered and their
bodies thrown under a brush pile and then
a fire started to consume the brush and
thus blot out the dastardly crime of the
human brutes.
It is evident, however, that the murder
of the children was simply an effort to
cover up a crime much more terrible in its
real import. Physicians who ahve examin
ed the remains of the little girl declare
there is unquestionable evidence that the
little girl was brutally treated before being
murdered. The parents of the little chil
dren, Samuel Good and wife. reside about
two miles north of the town. Mr. Good
being a well-to-do farmer. The children
left home quite early Sunday morning to
visit a neighbor. They remained away nil
day and when darkness mine they had
not returned. At first the parents were
not much alarmed, as it was raining some,
and they thought perhaps the children in
tended waiting for the rain to cease before
returning home, but as the hours passed
and still they had not come, the parents
became alarmed and notified the neighbors.
A searching party was kept up all night
looking for the children. Some twenty de
termine! men searched the neighborhood,
but the night wore away and still no tidings
of the lost ones.
A Sickening Sight.
latte this morning, however, the children
v re found, and the sight was. Indeed a
terrible and sickening one. Tlieir discovery
brought to light the most awful crime of
wh ‘h the mind can conceive. The two
l» -lies were found in a brush heap. The
Plilr boy's Ihr.vat was cut from ear to
•ar <nd his clot her and body were literally
-deeped in his own blood. The little girl s
In a I was cut off and she was disembowel
ed. There were two deep, ugly gashes from
the ribs to the groin. From all appear
ances the dreadful crime had been com
mitted with an ax or some other equally
tmwieldly and blunt instrument. An at
tempt had been made to burn the brush
j de. but the rain had evidently quenched
i*»e flames before much progress had been
t-. examination of the bodies disclosed
n.-.-t brutal consequences, and the natural
inference was that the murder had been
• i« fitted to cover up that crime, as the
c<r;-inal one, and the bodies tired, thus
i •plat; to destroy all evidence*. Many
think the girl was first waylaid and the
I -v possibly coming along discovered the
.rime, when it was resolved to murder
1. in also to destroy all evidence or chance
es detection.
X«. Clur Yet.
Two theories are advance.!, one that the
< rime was the work of tramps, and the
other that it was the work of local toughs.
Two vicious looking tramp* were seen in
tn- vicinity yesterday. Sn-riff Staley has
w.-.-l to all points with a hope of securing
s. clue. Never was a community so
thoroughly aroused, and if the murderers
. r-» intercepted no jail will prevent their
swift and terrible punishment. The com

Cook's Gang Plunder the Toon of
Leuapnb, 1. T.
Coffeyville, Kan., November 9—Two of the
Cook gang plundered the town of Lenapah,
I. T., and left a bloody trull behind them
this afternoon. They entered the town in
the character of bold bandits, without any
attempt at concealment, and terrorized the
citixeus until they had carried out their
plans of roubery. E. E. Melton, a brave
young man, who attempted to stop them
with his gun when they were riding away,
was shot and instantly killed.
Another man, whose name cannot be
learned tonight, is rejiorted to have been
seriously wounded. Both of the victims
were with a small force of citizens who
hastily armed themselves and attempted
to prevent the escape of the bandits. The
robbers were mounted on fast horses and
were heavily armed. Some of the citizens
claim to.have recognized them as Cherokee
Bill and Jim French, well known lieuten
ants of Bill Cook, the leader of the gang.
The robbers held up the proprietors of two
stores and looted both places.
They also robbed the postotfice. John
Shufeit. the proprietor of one store, was
relieved of sl'W in money and a gold watch.
These articles were taken from his person.
Mr. Shufeit proclaimed his loss to the
town before the rubbers had finished their
work and the band of citizens were almost
between them and their horses when the
robbers went to mount. An effort was
made to stop them, but they were on
horseback, with drawn pistols and were
Hying before their would-be captors could
make a concentrated movement. Melton
was more rash than the others and met
death in consequence.
The news, as it reached this city, does
not state in what manner or how seriously
the second victim was injured.
A report says the bandits are headed for
Coffeyville, which is only fifteen mil-s
from Lenapah. This place is the scene of
many tragic robberies and the police de
partment with volunteers are prepared to
meet them in the same way they met the
Daltons two years ago when almost the
entire band was wiped out.
Surely nothing but their cheapness could
induce the public to experiment with
questionable baking powders at the risk
of health and comfort when the facts prove
that they have a jarfeetly pure and thor
oughly reliable jowder in Dr. Price's. It
stands supreme.
SWAPPED WIVES.
A Curious < >a»e in Indiana, in Which
* Minister Figures Prominently.
In granting a divorce to Mrs. Smith, wife
of Rev. D. It. Smith, formerly of Winches
ter, Ind., late of Anderson and now of Belle
fontaine, 0., Judge Ellison, of Anderson,
closed one of the most peculiar and remark
able suits ever brought in an Indiana court,
says a special dispatch from Anderson,
Tnd.. to Tiic Cincinnati Enquirer.
The story dates back some two years ago.
when Rev. Smith had a charge in Randolph
county. Indiana, tine of his parishtonersand
nearest neighbors was Mis. Fred Helm, who
was incumbered by a. rather good-looking
husband and a lamlly. Rev. Smith and Mrs.
Helm became warm friends. One day Rev.
Smith coutrunted Helm and boldly proposed
that they trade wives. Helm, who had
noticed his wife's friendship for the minis
ter. readily consented. Mrs. Helm was anx
ious for the tra le. but Mrs. Smith entered
the most decisive objection to the contrary.
Her objections, however, were at last over
rul- I by ihe majority.
At eordingly, when all the terms of the
trade had been agreed v;s>n, the two men
eall.-d a justice of the fieace. When the
squire arrived i-v« ry detail of the exchange
was narrated to him and he was expected,
by some process or other, to virtually an
nul their former marriage and reunite them
according to the new schedule. They had
it ail planned, but the squire doubted his
jurisdiction in the matter and refused to
carry out the well-laid plans.
l;.*v. Mr. Smith then packed up his house
hold effects, r* signed his charge and, taking
his family, moved to Anderson, Ind., where
he located. It was not long until Helm
closed out his business and followed, bring
ing his wife with him. Finally Rev. Mr.
Smith deserted his wile and brought suit
for divoi'-e. alleging cruelty. Mrs. Helm
also instituted suit against iicr husband for
divorce. Smith’s case was the first to be
tiled. Th- diverse v. is denied.
After that ti ial Rev. Mr. Smii’i went to
?’i<higan, where Mr. Helm followed him.
Mrs. Smith ani Mrs. Helm remaining in
Anderson. Since then they have moved to
Bellefontaine, O. Mis. Smith tiled a suit
for divorce ami Judge Ellison granted the
legal separation. Helm also has a suit
jh tiding, and it is piubable taat it will he
granteu.
The strange case has been closely follow
ed by people all over the state. Rev. Mr.
Smith t'-ing well :n 1 favorably known. He
is a young man and is a. very iluent talker.

MRS. GREEN GAINED.
She Deposed tho Masnuge Artist Who Opera
ted I pou iter Invalid Husband.
Developments of the last few days would
seem to indicate that Mrs. Hetty Green, the
shrewd possessor of many well invested
millions, has a sentimental side to her
charactf r.
Possibly this would not have been discov
ered if her husband. Edward A. Green, hod
not been attacked by rheumatism several
months ago, necessitating the services of a
massage artist, who, it is said, is called
Mrs. Howard.
Mr. Green, when in the city and away
from his wife, lives in the Cumberland, a
fashionable bachelor apartment house at
Fifth av<nue and Twenty-second street.
There, until a late hour on Wednesday, Mr.
Green, still tortured by rheumatic twinges,
was faithfully attended by Mrs. Howard,
morning and evening.
The chief clerk of the Cumberland was
alone in the office on Wednesday night,
when through the Fifth avenue ent.'ance
stalked a tall woman, severely plain in
dress and countenance. He recognized her
as Mrs. Hetty Green, whose wealth is pop
ularly estimated at 150.0Q0.000.
"1 want rooms here, young man,” she
said, "lor myself and daughter.”
"But, madam,” said the clerk, “this is ex
clusively a bachelor house, you know, and
really 1 couldn’t, that is I—”
She Got the Room.
‘‘Nothing of the kind, young man,” Inter
rupted Mrs. Green. “Yny husband is here
and if I know anything about it, he Is no
bachelor.”
“I know that this is a house for bach
elors,” said Mrs. Green, "but circumstances
make it necessary for me to stop right here
a. few days. This is the case in a nutshell:
My sick husband Is b<*ing rubbed and rod
died with altogether too much fidelity by a
certain Mrs. Howard. I’ve had about
enough of it. and 1 propose to run this mas
sage business my. elf.
"So you see 1 have simply got to camp
right here until the matter is settled. Give
me a month. What do you say?”
‘‘l tell you what I’ll do, inadam,” said the
hotel man, "you cun stay here for ten days
—no longer—with your daughter, but keep
it quiet. Get rid of this Mrs. Howard as
gently as possible. For heaven’s sake do
nothing to stampede my bachelor tenants.
They must not know there is a woman in
the house.”
Mrs. Green and her daughter that night
occupied a vacant suite directly alx>Ve Mr.
Green’s rooms, anil early the following
morning moved to the attack. No one
hr,ous exactly what happened when Mrs.
Howard arrived to perform her usual ser
vice and found herself face to face with
the invalid’s wife.
Listening hall boys caught the sourd of
Vigorous altercation, but Mrs. Howard
abandoned the field. Sh- llotmced out ot
the sickroom and vanished from the house,
.not to reappear. Unfortunately for a
round! d account of the case Mrs. Howard
cannot be located.
Autlioriz.cil IHh Statement.
I called at the Cumberland yesterday anil
ask<*d for an interview with Mrs. Green.
My request was proffered in person by th>*
,* ■-f <!-!k .i M i. Greer lustled into th*
house.
"A reporter to see m ?” she said. "Well
I won’t see him. You know this business as
well as 1 do. Tell him the facts and say
that there is no jealousy in this business—
not a bit of it. I s* nt this Howard woman
about her business for the good of my hus
band. Her method of treatment didn’t suit
tn-."
The clerk th»*n gave a statement of th?
uff.iir.
"1 tell you how it is: Green was taken
down with rheumatism several months ago,
an i thi> Mrs. Howard was emploja d at
per day, with three square meals thrown
in. Early last summer Green was removed
to his country seat at Beho vs balls, Vt.,
with Mrs. Howard in atiendane . The
nurse s>mply monopolized tin* puieiit and
practically troze .Mrs. Gretn out, who did
not like it
"She could never get a word with her
husband in privat . as Mrs. Howard could
nut be lured, coaxed or banished from his
side. This went on until Green rocoxeieu
siitfii'ieuily to return to the city, via Sara

artist. Mrs. Green stood this s-ort ol
thing in the liojh* of her husband’s recov. y,

That is ill story, and you can bet that

XEW MILLS Foil THE SOI TH.
A Number to He Built, While Others
Will Enlarge Their i upaeity.
Baltimore, Md., November S.—Special re
pons to The Manufacturers’ Record show a
steadily increasing interest in tne extension
of cotton manufacturing in the south and
indicate that a number of new mills will
shortly be built, while many mills now in
operation will enlarge their capacity. Final
contracts have been let for the construc
tion of a mill in South Carolina to cost
about jst"i,etMi, which will require over 3.000,-
0W feet of lumber. It will be one of the most
complete cotton mills in the country. An
Atlanta mill will double its capacity at a
cost of about £IOO,OOO, while a number of
other mill enterprises are being organized.
Among the other leading industrial enter
prises reported lor the week are the pur
chase of 'i’.ih*) acres of coal lands in Virginia
by New York people, who will probably de
velop it on a 1. rge scale: a SIOO,OOO compress
coirq any, machine shops and foundry in
Alabama; marine railway in Geor-

da; ssO,ot‘i> cotton mill and water power
plant in South Carolina; slo,ooo canning com
pany, tannery, shoe factory and lumber
mill in North Carolina; a largo ice plant,
woodworking plant and canning factory in
Tennessee.
Among the new buildings reported during
the week was a $70,000 theater, and proba
bly a 1,500-room hotel in Georgia; ;t large
office building in the same state; a >.?>,o<M

The Ollie era Qunrreled.
San Bernardino, Cal., November 9.—lt is
understood that the cause of the failure of
the First National bank origin rted in per
sonal quarrels among the officers of the
bank. President Joseph Brown, who was
interviewed, stated that the bank would
not resume business, but would go into li
quidation. He says that the securities of the
I ink and its assets are sufficient to pay all
depositors in full and leave something to he
distributed among the stockholders. The
banK has a paid-up capita! of SIi«UHXI. and
when closed had deposits of about $200,000.
BILL ARP
grows ynii.osoPHic over the
POLITICAL SirUATICX.
We Have Faced Defeat Before and We Are
Not Unprepared to Sleet It Now—The
buu Will Continue to Hue as of Old.
Don’t fret. This thing has happened be
fore and we survived It. If the United
States of North America can stand it, so
can I and so can you. It is not as bad as
war or pestilence or famine; not so bad
as a cyclone or fire or sickness or death or
taxes. And yet we are liable to all these.
If we have health and strength and food
and raiment we ought to be thankful and
happy. The truth is, our people care less
about this republican victory than they have
about any since the war. I heard an old
time democrat say today: "I don’t care
a darn. Our party Is not fit to run the
government nohow. Now let the yanks
take it and nm it till kingdom come.” An
other one said: “We swept our state in the
face of 5-cent cotton, but up north, where
they have no cotton, they cleaned us up
like an avalanche. How’s that?”
And now the quarrel still goes on In
the democratic press. Who did it? Who is
to be held responsible for the inglorious
defeat? Both factions are crying: "I told
you so,” anil the people are tired. What
is the use of trying to find out how the
wagon came to turn over while dad is
under the hay. Let’s get him out and
drive on. It remii|ds me of Judge Under
wood’s old darky, who waked up and
found himself in the calaboose. He sent
for “Mars John” and declared he hadent
"dun nulin—nuiin at all." “Well. Jack, they
can’t put you in here for that. There is
no law to punish a man for doing nothing.”
Jack brightened up for a moment: "You
say dey can't Mars John.” "No, sir,” said
the judge, "no, sir, they can’t do it.” “But.
Mars John, dey has done done it, and 1 is
here right now—'fore God 1 is.”
Well we democrats are all in for it now,
and I'm not going to bed about it. There is
not much difference between the two par
ties nohow. There is no dividing line on
principle. There are thousands of protec
tion democrats down south, especially
in Alabama and Tennessee. 'l'ney say pro
tection has enriched the north, and now let
the south go to manufacturing and get
rich too. On the silver question our people
are as much divided as the republicans.
Some want to take silver straight, and
some to dash it with gold, and uohody but
the fools know which is right. So. after all,
there Is but one settled, well-defined, line
and that is office, spoils, patronage. But
lew of us have any interest in that, so let
the office holders and office seekers howl
and weep. I’m not going' to shed many
tears. There are five republicans in this
town who are right now ruminating about
our little postoflice for two years hence, and
tl ey are all clever men and good citizens,
but only one can get it. Then, there are
two or three revenue officers and three or
four clerkships at Washington, and that is
all that our whole county of throe thousand
voters gets out of n itional politics, so let
tho procession proceed. As Cube says, "it s
all optionary with me.”
Federal politics is not of so much conse
quence to us as our state politics. As long
as the negro is here we want a solid south,
a united people. The populist party has
dune more to disturb harmony and engender
discord at the south than all other causes.
If it had been conceived on good principles
and with a good intent to reform corrupt
methods thousands of good men would have
joined it. but it has pandered to the preju
dices of the laboring classes and arraigned
them against their more fortunate nabors.
It has fostered and encouraged a desire for
paternalism and made promises to the ne
gr.. that it never intended to perform. It
is astonishing that men who pass as gen
tlemen at borne should so far degra le their
Instincts, their consciences as to carry
the banner of such a party.
I would rather be a. republican ten times
over than a populist, and yet I know some
good men who have joined that party
and profess to believe in its absurd and
ridiculous platform. There is but one ex
planation of this strtmge anomaly and
that is just what a clever populist said
when 1 asked him If he really believed in
their platform. "Platforms.” said he,
"amount to nothing. It is what a man
dues that we judge him by—not what he
says he will do. We propose to reform and
economize and put down monopolies. The
old parties are utterly corrupt, as you will
admit, and it is time to have a new deal.”
That is s nsible. and if they had that tor
a platform and had left out all their fool
ishness and had put forward men who
were not tricksters and demagogues there
was a great opportunity to build up a
th rd party that would have held the bal
ance of power in national politics and have
checked tho corrupt methods of the state
democracy. Even a:? it is. they have been
a terror to machine polities in Georgia and
thereby have done some good, but with
their professed principles of paternalism
and the moral obliquity of tlieir leaders,
woe be unto Georgia if they ever get into
power. The people admire the boldness of
an independ’-nt, but lament the foolishness
of a populist. Dr. Felton dident mean to
bo one and be is not one now. It is very
hard for an old line whig like him to be a
democrat and we fyintui -*iz * with him in
the strain that has been upon him for
forty years. Ben Hill was another and
said with mortification, "I dident lo to be
a democrat.” Toombs was another and
Alex Stephens, and they gave Dr. Felton
aid and comfort wh< n he ran as an inde
pendent against Dabney and Lester. Mr.
Stephens never was a democrat at heart
ami would have run as tin independent,
if the democrats had dared to nominate an
other man. Di. Felton ..as not yet become

reconciled to democracy. He cannot belie
his raising and some of his friends pre
dict that he will yet join the republican
party, for in that party he can find the
protection policy that he favors and can
also find thousands of old fine whigs. If
he had run this last race as an independ
ent he would have received many votes
that he did not. Now let the grand old
man retire. Let him say with Othello: ‘ I
have done the state some service and she
knows it. Speak of me as I am; nothing
extenuate not set down aught in malice.”
But there is some good mixed up with
every bad that comes. The populists are
sick unto death and so are the A. P. As.
and Tammany. Now let the next presi
dential contest be fair and square on the
tariff. Let protection or tariff reform be
the issue. We want this question settled
so that the hidden money can be turned
loose. There is just as much of it as there
was a few years ago, when the boom was
on, but people will not invest while this
uncertainty continues. It Is not so much
whether silver should be 16 to 1. or some
variable ratio, as It is the withdrawal
of capital from active employment. I wish
to borrow and nobody will lend. This may
be good for me in the long run, but in the
short run it is very aggravating—if not
more so. Nevertheless, the best thing for
us all to do now is to be calm and serene.

“Bear in MltuL”
Anniston. Ala.. November 6.—Editor Con
stitution: I have before me an editorial
which appeared in a recent Issue of your
valued paper under the head of "Rear in
Mind,” in which you say that the present
crop of cotton would yield the farmers of
Georgia $25,000,000, and that if we manufact
ured this cotton at home it would yield
them $105,000,1100, more than four times what
we get for the raw material; and you say
that we are not running our affairs upon
business principles, and you ask what sense
there is in letting outsiders manufacture
our great staple and reap all the profits;
and you say further, that the same rea
sons which carry the furnaces to the
iron and coal fields should bring the cot
ton factory to the cotton belt; and you
conclude with the assertion that that policy
is the couth's royal road to fortune and
that the present policy is the straight road
to poverty. Mr. Editor, no greater truths
were ever spoken than these, and your
able editorial points to the only true poli
cy by which the southern states can be
guided in order to develop© the splendid
natural resources with which a bountiful
Creator has endowed them. It must be
conceded by all thinking men that we must
depend for our future development and
progress upon our industrial resources,
for it is equally as true with agriculture
until we secure a better market for its pro
ducts and that market must be beyond all
doubt a home market, and the best market
in the world is that furnished by the fac
tory operative, the skilled laborer and the
merchant and professional man, which are
the necessary result of a manufacturing
community. They are the real consumer,
and, in fact, the only real consumer we
have. Some time since I visited Spartan
burg, S. C., and in the county of Spartan
burg there are nineteen cotton mills in
which are employed over 8,000 operatives,
and through all our hard times for the past
two years you could not have found hard
times in that county with a Pinkerton de
tective. Why? Because the farmer had a
ready market for all his pork and vege
tables or anything in the way of food pro
ducts that he 4*ould raise besides the mer
chant, the tradesman and the professional
inan had a market for their wares, for
their labor and for their professional ser
vices. An<l such must he. our policy in Geor
gia; our efforts must be in the direction of
industrial development. The old red hills
of Georgia contain greater wealth than the
fabled mines of King Solomon, and our duty
is as plain as the noonday sun. We must
realize upon this wealth, and by so doing
we will furnish a market for our agricul
tural products. Do you know why our splen
did city of Atlanta so nobly withstood the
shock of the panic of last year and the
hard times that have prevailed for two
years? Because she has within her limits
over seven hundred diversified industries.
And what is applicable to Atlanta is equaliy
applicable to the whole state of the whole
country. The policy of our people and our
statesmen must, in the future, be the poli
cy which you so ably expressed in your
ciear and patriotic editorial entitled "Bear
in Mind.” Very truly yours.

Constitution— I have just read your able
;.nd patriotic editorial in today’s p iper head
ed "Corruption Run Riot,” and I can’t re
sist th© impulse to thank you for it. The
Constitution could never wield its great
power to better purpose than tn stamping
*.p<>n such methods. We have had quite
enough of such methods. We have had
more than we will ever put up with much
longer—to stir up strife and bloodshed an 1
cause the most respectable classes to slay
away from th« voting precincts surrounded
by such a howling mob.
The great and growing masses of patriotic
Georgians will rise up and call you blessed
for hading in the movement to redeem
Georgia from such slavery.
