A most horrible murder was com
mitted in Sandusky, Ohio, last week.
A man named James called upon
his cousin, Mr. June, against whom
he had an old grudge. When he
entered the room, he locked the
door, putting the key in his pocket,
and drawing his revolver, said
"June, siIs have come here to com
nit murder, and am going to. do
it." He then snapped his revolver,
but. it missed fire, and terrible
scuffle ensueds james, however,
was armed with a knife, and succeed
ed in ripping open the abdomen Of
the other, the knife breaking off at
the handle as be did So. James was
secured and taken before a Justice,
when he confessed his purpose freely.
and said she only wanted June to
die, and then he would die happy"

American Priyatecfs iB The Late
War.

A History of the PEiYateers o
the late war, Of which condensed
account is given by the Petersburg
Inteiligencer, states that the whole
number Of PrivaieerS and private
armedstips, COMMISSIONERS cruising
vessels, and actively engaged during
our Ga- with Great Britain, in the
years 1872, 1913 and 1914. were
two hundred and fifty sail. Balii
more is the Coryphoeus on this no.
bic list, having furnished more thar
one-fifth Of the whole number-5S
New York sent out %; Salem 40;
Boston 81; Philadelphia IA; Ports.
mouth IL; Charleston 10, SC. More
than two thousand sail of British
armed vessels and shipping were
captured during the war; anG oil
this number two thirds, at least, or
more than ], 800, were taken by our
priyateers aud letters-of-marque
The prirateer Seourge, Of New York,
was very successful and made about
thirty valuable prizes; the Rattle
snake, OF Philadelphia, nearly as
many; the Surprise, of Baltimore,
took twenty valuable prizes in the
short space Of one month; ane the
aTrueblco,led i. Yankee, . owned in
New York, but fitted out from
France, eruised during the whole war
and captured many large and splen-
did prizes without once falling in the
hands of the enemy. -, ~.
The Intelligeueer adds the signi-
fieaut fac. that the English navy
entered upon the contest With one
thousand andlsixty men-ofrwar, eight
hundred of. which were on commits
sion, and were effective cruisers,
while the United States had but
seven effective frlgates, with twelve
er fifteen sloops.of-war, and most of
the latter undergoing repairs in the
dock yards. Only about five hun
bred Americans vessels, oae-fourth
the number of our captures, we're
taken by the enemy. oa
