IS HE THE MAN?
Min Murdered the Good Children
and Burned Their Bodies.
Paulding, Ohio, November 7. —
Excitement still runs high over the
murder of the Good childien, and
Sheriff Staley has taken Hart to
Van Wert for safety. There is no
doubt that if our citizens were sure
that Hart is the man who com tint
ed the awful deed he would be
lynched if possible to get hold of
him.
A trained bloodhound was put
on the trail of the assassin last
night, but nothing has developed
yet.
Mrs. Good has not seen her mur
dered children, nor has she been
informed of their death, but is
living with the belief that they
will be returned to her sound and
wel 1.
The theory that the children were
murdered with a corn-cutter is
pronounced as unlikely by Coro
ner Slager, and Sheriff Staley is of
the opinion that a large knife was
the instrument used in the double
murder.
It is learned today that two
tramps were seen in the vicinity
on Sunday morning, and that they
were very tough-looking individu
als. Several claim to have seen
them.
The sad affair has cast a gloom
over our city, and the election has
lost the interest it had before the
awful discovery.
Later.—Parties have just re
turned from the home of Hart,
which they searched, and, on tak
ing up the floor, which was made
of rough boards and double, clots
of blood were found, which is al
most positive preof that Hart is
the man, and that the crime was
committed in the house and the
children then taken to the woods
and placed on the brush heap amt
fire applied.
If Hart was here at present it
would be a ca«e as hemp at once.
NOTICE OF LOCAL LEGISLA
gr- TION.
Rome, Ga., October 81, 1894. —
Notice is hereby given that appli
cation will be made to the General
Assembly now in session, for the
passage of an Act to amend an Act
entitled “An Act to amend the
charter of the City of Romo, so as
to create a levee commission and
provide for building a levee in the
lower part of said city,” so as to
clothe the commissioners with pow
er and authority to issue not ex
ceeding $75,000 of bonds [or levee
certificates to bind only the lands
protected by the levee and to ne
gotiate the same for the purpose
of raising money to construct said
levee and also to insert the
word seventy-five in lieu of “fif
ty” in the last proviso of the third
section of said Act.
Was He Murdered?
Shelbyville, Ind., Nov. 7. —
There is considerable excitement
in the Mt. Auburn neighborhood,
this.county, caused by the sudden
disappearance of Aaron Collins, a
highly respected and well-known
resident.
On last Wednesday afternoon
Mr. Collins left his home and
starting for Edinburg on a business
trip. He made several purchases
in Edinburg, leaving the articles
at C. C. Winterberg’s until he call
ed for them.
He next paid O. M. Mitchell
S4O on a furniture account, since
which time he has been missing.
Yesterday his brother Cornelius
came to this city in search of
Aaron. Cornelius states that his
brother had, when leaving home, a
check for S7OO on one of the banks
in this city, besides SIBO in mon
ey-
Upon inquiry at the banks here
the check had not been presented.
His disappearance has caused con
siderable excitement at his home.
He has a wife and four children,
and they were living peaceably to
gether. The general belief is that
Mr. Collins has met with foul play
at the hands of some one who
knew he had the S7OO check with
him. ■
A LIVING MERMAID. |
An Alabama Girl who is Half Fish
Half Human.
Florence, Ala., Novembers.—ln
the Swiss colony, near St. Floren,
Ala., about seven miles from here,
can be seen a beautiful young girl
wheeled around in a perambulator,
the lower portion of which is cov
ered. She has never oeen seen out-
this buggy except by Ik r
own parents, although she has en
joyed perfect health duri .g the
16 years* of her life.. She is unu
sually bright and intellig-nt, and
from her carriage thoroughly en
joys the society of young people of .
her age.
The reason that the girl is doom
ed to her days in the con
fines of her buggy is that she is a
realistic mermaid. Before her
b.rth her mother was badly fright
ened by a shark while crossing the
Atlantic Ocean, and the lower part
of the child’s body is that of a fish.
Her father, jAntcn Zimri, is a
highly successful grape grower,
and has become well off, as wealth
is counted in this section, but no
surgical treatment has yot been
found that can devise a means for
correcting the deformity of his
daughter. She has none of th
chaiactenstics of a fish, and has no
more fondness for water than is
usually posessed by girls of her
age.
Shot His assailant.
Maysville, Ky., Novembei 8. —
Boley Price was shot audios!:; g
ly k iled ihis aft- rn ion, at 3 o'clock

A Legal Levy.
A book peddler had called at the
lawyer's office to sell a book, and
the lawyer very peremptorily diduT
want any book, 1 be peddler insist
ed, and the lawyer continued to de
cline At last the lawyer rose in
wrath.
“Now look here,” he said em
phatically. “I’ve told you I don’t
want your book, and I mean what
I say. Furthermore, my advice to
you is to get out of this, promp' y
or I’ll throw you out. ’’
The peddler was about to make
a remark.
“And,” interrupted the lawyer,
“iet me also say that if you hesi
ta e I shall charge you for the ad
vise, ami levy ou your books to
saiisiy judgment. Now git.” And
