LAwLEssNEss AND CRIME IN INDI.
ANA.-An Indiana paper gives the
following account of the life and death
of man named Shafer, in Benton
County, who had gotten his living by
stealing and harboring horse thieves ::
Several years ago some men track
ed horse thief to his cabin. They
inquired of this man Shafer if the
thief had been there, and were told
that he had not, but one of his little
girls said the thief had been there
So the pursuit was continued and the
thief caught. Shafer and his wife
then took their little daughter out in
to a huckleberry patch and cut her
throat for telling about the thief
Shortly after this it was found out
that Shafer was sheltering thieves and
murderers, and he was sent to the
State prison for one year. While
there his wife became sick with fever.
During her delirium she would say,
oh how the little thing screams.
The murder of her little daughter was
working on her mind. She never re-
covered, but passed to her final and
terrible account. After her death
her husband came back, lived alone,
and carried on the same as before
So three men concluded to put hin
out of the way. They went to his
cabin one evening with well loaded
shotgun. The old fellow was get
ting his supper, when one Of them
shot him in the back with twenty-five
swan shot. The next day a MAI
went to his cabin and found him dead
Since this three more of the same
stripe have left for fear they would
be served the same way"

How TO STOP THE LEAKs.-The
clouds which still overcast our Nation
al sky are mainly Financial; and Gen.
Grants Administration will prove a
triumph or a failure according as it
shall demonstrate ability or inability
to rcauce the burden of the National
Deht. It, first need, therefore. is Re
trenchment in Public Expenditures :;
but its second, and scarcely inferior,
Is to enhance the National Incomes.
which have for years reduced the Rev.
enue hy .rnrn Fifty to One Hundred
and Fifty Millions per annum.
How shall this be done?
We expect something from the pas
sage Of Mr.. Schenck's general bill,
and something more from a general
Infusion of honesty and vigor into the
service consequent on the accession
of Gen. Grant But there is a more
specific means of operating to this end
which seems to US worthy of consider
alton. Here is its outline:
Assuming that frst-rate Secreta-
ry of the Treasury is assisted bv an
equally fit Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, we hold that the proper dis
trict officers should be held accounta-
ble for the success or failure of their
efforts to assess and collect the Inter-
nal Revenue after this fashion:
Brown, we will suppose, is Assess
or of a specified district, and Jones
Collector. The Commissioner shonld
give them fair notice that they must
secure to the Government the intern
al revenue righttully collectable from
that district, or must give place to
successors. Each, when appointed,
should be distinctly told, "The fair,
honest cost of Whiskey in Your dis
trict, is (say) $l.25 per gallon; we
shall keep strict watch over it, and
whenever we find any selling therein
for $1.10 or less, we shall want your
office for another man." So of To-
bacco; so of other heavily taxed arti
cles. If a person cannot collect the
revenue, that is reason enough for let
ting some one else try in his stead
"Augurs that won't bore" are out of
place III such "a service; they must
give place to such as will Only lei
the Assessor and Collector know that
whenever the prices current prove
them unable to do the work for which
they are paid, they must get out, anC
what are now moral impossibilitie;
will soon sink into mere difficulties
and then fade away altogether. A
all events, we trust this plan will re
ceive fair consideration.-Tr Tribune.

gone aft, carefully unwinding tn e
string as ne went along, then to have

1t was with much difficulty that the
Commodore prevented his men from
killing the villain on the spot. He
proved to be one of the enemy's Off
GERS, and he was to have heavy re-
ward if he succeeded in destroying
the commander and his crew.
The prisoner was carried on deck
and lashed to the main rigging, where
he was told to remain until the vessel
got in port.
What a horri1 death that villain
meant for US, said Carter.
Yes, said the commander, with a
nervous twitch of the muscles about
his mouth.
A bitter curse from the prisoner
here broke upon the air, and with
clutched fist the commander went
below.
In the morning, when Tucker came
on deck, Seguin was in sight upon the
starboard bow, but when he looked
for the prisoner he was gone.
Garter, where's the villain | lasbed
here last night 2
I'm sure don't know where he is,
Commodore; perhaps he's jumped

The old Commodore gazed sternly
in Carriers eyes, and he saw twink
lie of satisfaction cleaning there. He
hesltated a moment h c turned
away and muttered to himself,
well, WE'LL can't blame them.

deserved. Better far be it for him,
than that my noble crew were now all

A gentleman from New York, who
had been in Boston for the purpose
of collecting some moneys due him in
that city, was about returning, when
he found that one bill of one hundred
dollars had been overlooked. His
landlord, who knew the debtor, tho't
it was a doubtful case, but added
that if it was collected at all, a tall,
rawboned Yankee, then dunning a
lOdger in another part of the hall
would "worry it out" of the man.
Calling him up, therefore, he intro
duced him to the creditor, who show
ed him the account.
"Wall, squire" said he, "taint much
use O tryin'. | guess. | know that
critter. You might as well try to
squeeze lie out of Bunker Hill monu-
ment as to elect a debt out OF him.
But anyhow, squire, what'll you give,
s'posing l do try ?"
We'll, sir, the bill is one hundred
dollars, I'll give you half if you'll col
lect it."
"Greed," replied the collector,
"thcr'S no harm in tryin', any way"
Some weeks after the creditor
chanced to be in Boston, and in walk
ing up fremont street encountered
his enterprising friend.
Look O. here said he, esquire,
| had considerable luck with that bill
O your'n. You see, stuck to him

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Double DIurderinIn5;on,


Especial Dispatch to, Pittsburgh Commercial
FORT WAYNE, IND, June 10.
About sunset last evening at CoVing-
ton, Fountain county, Indiana, Fred.
Remster, an auetioneer, until lately IN
the employ of Mr.. John Dodd, commit
ted series Of terrible tragedies. his
first victim was, an aged widow lady
named Jones, seventy-hve years OLD, anu
with whom he boarded. Remster snos
her with six shooter, the ball entering
the neck near the ear. She expired IN
few minutes. ,.s.
His next victim was daughter OF MI
Breckeling, highly esteemed ySqIn ls
lady, seventeen years oil age: piss
b., hearing the discharge OF nrearh9
from the opposite side OF the street,
went to- her fathers door, when she was
Immediately fired upon By Remster, the
ball hitting her above the ear. The
wound is considered fatal, and she can
live but few hours, her brains coming
out at the hole.
After shooting Miss B., the murderer
rushed down through the street and
past the excited people, frantically call
inr for John Dodd. He fired at man
near James McMahon's residence, but
the cap only swapping, no harm was
done. He continued on his course, and
meeting John transfer, ran up to him
and sticking the pistol in Transfers
mouth, pulled the trigger, the cap again
swapping and saving the life OF. his IN,
tended fourth victim. transfer grappled
with the murderer and succeeded in dis
arming him and holding him until the
excited people could render assistance,
when he was conveyed to Jail under a
strong guard, who kept at bay the furious
mob which had by this time gathered.
During the prevalence of the excite
ment now in the vicinity of the murder,
it is almost impossible to CLEAN any facts
that will show the cause of the deed.
IL is known that Remster had been
drinking very hard, and gambling des-
perately, and peeuniary losses may have
driven him to tina commission of the
deed. He has been married but a few
weeks. The prisoner will have pre-
liminary hearing tomorrow, if left alive
that long.
