HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT SAVANNAH
A few days since a horrible tragedy oc-
Cured at a diningsaloon in Savannah
known as "Our House," It appears
that Philip Judge, who had been for
merly employed at the saloon as a wal
ter, and discharged and forbid to visit
the saloon, went into the kitchen Of the
house, when some angry words passed
between him and French cook named
Meuillot. In the course Of the dispute
Judge applied some offensive term to-
Meuillot. The latter, who held a knife
in his hand at the time, said if Judge
repeated that expression he would put
the knife into him. The boy made use
of the expression again, when, true to
his threat, the enraged Meuillot plung-
ed the knife into the body Of Judge, in
flicting an Instantly mortal wound
The knife used was long carving
knife, which was very sharp, and enter
ed the right side, penetrating to the
lung and cutting itoff. With an excla.
nation of stOh. God! | am killed -
Judge fell to the, ground and expired
Almost instantly.
When the murderer saw what he had
done, he leaned his head and appeared
as though praying in French; then,
Selling the bloody knife and barring bis
own breast, he plunged it in some six
or seven time in theregion ofthe heart
Laying the knife on the table he fell
dead on the floor.

New York INSURANCE COMPANIES IN
TRoUBlE.-The New York correspondent
of the Mobile Advertiser reports:
The panic that seized the stock gamblers
two weeks ago has now broken out in an
other place among the insurance men.
No actual failures have taken place as yet,
but several Of the Oldest and (supposed)
soundest companies are on the verge of an
abyss that threatens to swallow them be-
fore month. The tremendous losses,
both on land and sea, during the past year
have made some of the strongest insurance
companies in New York stagger to the
brink ofsiispension. The Sun Company is
now in difficulties that it is not likely to
get out of. A war has risen between the
stockholders and the directors, growing out
of the canceling of scrip by the latter, and
it does not seem possible for the company
to ever get firmly on its feet again. Halt
dozen other companies are in as bad fix
as the Sum-" but have managed thus far
to keep their stock holders quiet. All the
companies manifest great caution in taking
risks, and the majority have reduced their
capital from 30 to 100 per cent. Then
there is constant heavy drain on the say
ing banks by working people out Of EN-,
ployment, who are now consuming the say.
ings of several years. Labor in nearly all
the channels that augmented the wealth Of
the country is suspended, and no man is
willing to begin oh enterprise involving
large investments. On all sides the signs
are ominous for crash, and he is wise
man who tries to profit by reading them.
Still, in the face of all, there is the hope
that when the worst shall come the people
will cut loose from the mad leaders who are
dragging them to ruin.

months in the City, was hardly recognised
by her friends: In place Of a course, rus

plexion of almost marble smoothness, eand
instead Of twenty-three she really appeared
but eighteen. Upon inqniry as to the
cause Of so great change, she plainly told
them that she used the Circassian Balm,
and considered it an Invaluable acquisition
to any Lady's toilet. BY its use any Lady
or Gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. It is simple
in its combination, as Nature herself is
simple; yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in
drawing impurities from, also healing,
cleansing and identifying the skin and

WHAT WAR HAS DONE FOR MEXICO.
find the following in the New York Her
AIDS correspondence from Durango, Mex:
leo: 7
La Zarca was in 1929 q splendid cattle
hacienda, the first in Durango. 1t has now
sixty square leagues, but formerly compris-
ed many ranches which have been taken
from it, and which swelled it's extent to
three hundred leagues Of land. 1t was the
property of Fernando Diaz de la Campo,
who at the date above mentioned made a
bargain with very wealthy Mexican to
sell it, the purchaser agreeing to give one
dollar per head for every animal which was
at that time branded those not branded
with the hacienda mark were to be thrown
into the bargain gratis, together with all the
land. The branded cattle were then count
ed, but the number and consequent amount
in dollars were so fabulous that the purcha
ser was unable to comply with his bargain.
1t is stated that it exceeded 81 900, 900.
Four years afterwards the Indian war broke
out with renewed fury, and from that time
to this the internal feuds have carried on
the work ofdesolation. They have stripped
the hacienda Of all its wealth. Year after
year the herds have decreased in numbers,
until to-day there are but about one thou
sand cattle, horses and mules upon the es-
tate. The land is worthless the numer-
Gus buildings Of the hacienda are in ruins !;
the manor house is stripped Of its former
furniture, and upon entering it you only
hear the mournful echoes Of your own
footsteps. A little church, still more
gloomy than the house, stands near by.
The few people still remaining on the es-
tate are shivering in the few rags which
they have been able to gather. The haci.
enda is yearly desolated by the savage blast
of warfare that sweeps across Northern
Coahuila and Durango, and which spares
neither life nor property.

A Singular Triple Marriage.
THREE BROTHERS TO BE Welded TO THREE
SISTERS.

From the Burlington {1owa) Times, Feb. 6.
For the last two days three happy coup
les from Tetes de Morris township, Jack
son county, have been busying themselves
at our dry goods and other stores, all the
while looking supremely happy. All who
have seen the gentleman have remarked
they resemblance to each other, while the
three young ladies look so much alike tina,
one would know they are sisters as theil
attendants are brothers.
Well, those three gentlemen are broth.
ers, and they are to be married to the three
sisters in few days. They are in the city
for the purpose Of purchasing their we'd
ding and housekeeping outfits. The broth.
ers are Messrs. j. II. DIETRICH and John
Huenke. The sisters are the Misses
Fielderman. They have lived as neishbors
for years, until the god Cupid has broken
off their neighborly relation.
Ten years ago the Huenke brothers came
from Germany to this country with Their
parents. They entered Jackson county
and after having built cabin found them.
selves without shilling. The boys "scat-
tered" among the farmers, and supported
their parents by their wages. In year OF
two they leased farm, which one brother
and the father worked, while the other two
still worked for wages, which went to stock
the farm. Industry met its reward in due
time. Everything seemed to prosper at
their hands. To-day each of the brothers
own farm of 100 acres, and upon each
farm new brick house has been built for
the reception of the sisters-brides. The
old folks occupy the farm originally leased
they being the proprietors of it now. Il
these parties are not commencing married
life Alright, nobody ever did. Their dry
goods purchases at one store amounted to
over $500. Levi would like to see a
thousand just such couples every week.
The brothers are brothers-in-law Of Peter
