HIGH CARNIVAL OF BLOOD

Another Chapter Of Hosrsrs-A Girl
Murdered by her Lsver-suicide Of
the Nurderer.-suieide Of u Well
KNOWN Citizen. ...
During Sunday and Monday there
were, in this city and immediate vicini-
ty, three deaths by suicide and two ter
rible murders. In yesterdays issue we
gave the full particulars of the suicide
Of an elderly German and the murder of
a man by his brother-in-lsw, in Camp
bell County, Kentucky, and we now
have to record still another terrible
murder and two moro suicides. In this
connection our readers will notice
again the really remarkable Jumping
together of those great crimes that, IKE
great misfortunes, startle community.
This wonderful closeness in sequence Is
equally noticeable in the matters of con.
fiagrations, suicides, murders and opera
tions of professional criminals. Last
summer, at this time, commenced the
reign of the suicidal mania, that lasted
several weeks and brought about nearly
q dozen self-murders. 1t would seem, at
present, as though not only the suicidal
mania but the murder madness had
again commenced here.
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Eight miles from this city, back Of
Trantman's Station Of the Indianapolis
and Cincinnati Railroad, and situated
on short road leading from Rapid hun
turnpike to the Cieves turnpike, stands

suicide that we are aboutto relate. Up

named Sarah Klein, whose widowed
mother had living but two children,
herself and an elder brother. For Q
long time, over year we are told, this

that vicinity.

The Age of Wednesday says: To-
days record of stock operations shows
less of activity than that by which the
market has been characterized for the
past week. In the account of sales a
preference is shown for the best charac-
ter of loans over those of shares, nearly
$4,000 Of the former changing hands,
against total of less than s., 500 of the
latter. This reveals the caution which
regulates the movements of capitalists
at the present time. The preference is
invariably given to that which is safe
and certain over that which is specu-
lative, and where the profits are merely
contingent. This may be all very well
for the moneyed interest, but is not the
tone of feeling which sheuld prevail, if
we are destined to welcome back again
the halcyon days of general pros
perity. We must have finalities which
will put an end to sectional disturb
ances; honesty and economy in the ex-
penditure of the money raised by the
taxation of the people, and the invest
ment of funds. not in bonds alone, but
in houses and lands, in railroads, ca
nails, manufactures, foundries, steam
