Of the boiler.
Six of the men were instantly killed.
But Jacob Hoover lived about six hours,

THE MURDER ATMANsrIELD.

We eondense from the full report of the
testimony regarding the murder Of Mary
]. Lunsford, at Mansfield.
Mary ]. Lunsford, was found IN her
room, Saturday morning, lying upon her
bed, with her head nearly reaching the
floor, her throat cut from ear to ear, her
mouth, eyes, stomach and abdomen all
horribly cut and mutilated Teeth marks
were also plainly visible on the victims
arms. A bloody package OF love letters
was found lying upon the table.
There was fearful struggle for life, for
the bed coverings We're torn very much, and
the stats in the bed broken and misplaced
Charles Keys testified at the Coroner's
inquest, that he passed tho house of the
deceased about fifteen minutes before 10
o'clock, and distinctly heard these excla-
nations ooh my God help murder p
evidently the tones of a woman's voice
This attracted his attention, when he
heard the same voice again in low, agon-
iZlng cry, ooh, my Oh, my !" accompani-
ed with deep means. Supposing that it
was woman in the pains of travail, he
passed on giving the matter no more at
tention.
A. L. Robinson, foreman of the Machine
Works of Blymyer Bates &Day, Of Mans
field arrested for committing the crime, is
now In jail The circumstances tell
heavily against him.
lst. He had been in the habit of COM
mitting adultery with her for several years,
both at CINCINNATI and Mansfield, and at
the time of the murder was his reputed
mistress.
I'd. The bloody love letters left upon
the table were written to her by Robinson
and were in his handwriting.
Sd. She was engaged to be married to
a man at Shelby named Ebersole, which
caused Robinson to be Jealous Of his para
mour.
4th. Robinson acknowledges he was at
her house at eight o'clock the same even
ing the murder was committed, and is un-
able to account for his whereabouts, dur
ing the remainder of the night
9th The teeth marks on the arm of
the murdered woman, exactly correspond
to the teeth of Robinson. Two of Robin
sens teeth are out, and the marks on the
arm show that two teeth were wanting, at
exactly the same place, where they are
wanting in Robinson's mouth.
This is strong chain of circumstan-
tial evidence, and bears upon the prisoner,
with a power and force nearly equal to
confession of guilt
The reputed murderer IS a large, stout,
square-shouldered, healthy looking, keen
eyed, resolute, powerful man, who would
be competent 10 commit deed of desper-
alton, If he choose to do so.

Mr.. BECK, of Kontucky, in the House

HUNDRED MILLIONS
The statements of Mr.. Beck were based
upon information furnished by the Secre-

The lying DAWES claimed, in bis sPeechesin

The radical newspapers conhnne to
twsddle about the resumption of specie
payments. Our radical rulers, by their
botching and corrupt tinkering with the
business of the country, will first probably
land the government and the country into
bankruptcy before We. see general re-
sumption of specie payments. This is only
one of their games, with which, to deceive
the people and cover their own corruption
and iriquity. The way to return to specie
payments and fairdealing. is by ECONOMY
in all departments OF the government.
While radical rule controls. and the Gen
eral government costs about FOUR HUN
DRIED MILLIONS A YEAR, 1t is absurd to
,alk of returning to specie payments.
