taken ofhis relatives. cat one time, in the
Chicago collectors Office" Mr.. Schurz had

in-law, and two sisters-inlaw."
The liberals at Washington have learned of
the move among Democrats directed against
Hendricks of Indiana, which is giving them
mnch anxiety. 1t appears that a number of
Democratic managers in various parts of the
country, who charge Mr.. Hendricks with be-
traying Pendleton in 1868, have combined for
the purpose of defeating him now. These
men have just started agents into the State
for the purpose of using certain information
placed in their possession among Democrats
who supported Pendleton.
Mr. Blaine's last speech in the present can
vass was delivered at North Vassalboro, Sat-

before held in town. Mr.. Blaine was espec-

from an entire absence of personality.

THE ALLEGED NATHAN MURDERER-The ar
rest in Washington of the alleged murderer of
Mr.. Nathan is the most startling news of the
day. More than two years have passed since
the victim of one of the foulest crimes on re-
cord was found weltering in his blood at his
residence, in one of tho most frequented streets
of New York. A dark mystery has ever since
overhung that terrible tragedy. Our baffl ed
guardians of the peace had apparently given
up all hopes of finding the author or authors of
the murder Nor does it seem, after all, that
the arrest of Billy Forester, the man with
numerous aliases, has brought them nearer to
the end; for there is a strong ground for the be-
of suspicion, rashly fastened the murder upon
Billy Forester. An unwifingness to acknowl-
edge themselves beaten might have had some
thing to do with this. Billy Forrester's record
is certainly bad enough to convict him of al
most any crime merely on experimentation
me capable du Jdit as they would do it in a
French criminal court. The fact that he has
been hiding ever since the night of the murder
is so far the strongest evidence agninst him.
1t should be remembered, however, that he is q
fugitive from justice. for various crimes, burg
larry among the number crimes numerous and
heinous enough to consign him to tender mer-
cies of a Site Prison for life. Without being
necessarily guilty of the murder of Mr. Nathan
he had, therefore, the best of reasons to keep
out of the way. Hunted down like wild beast,
he has lived life of constant dread wandering
about the country to evade capture, which has
been accomplished at last. Whether it will be
possible to convict him remains however, vet
to be seen.-N Y Herald

The SCHoEPPE TRIAL, which terminated at
Carlisle, Pa, on Saturday, with the acquittal of
the prisoner, teaches painful lesson of blind
and tardy justice. DR.. Schoeppe, it will be re-
membered, was held for the murder, by poison
Ing, of Miss Stenecke, an old lady of seventy,
who had been his patient, and had, in her will,
literally recompensed him for his friendly and
professional offices. The story of the poisoning
was started by the relatives. of EMiss Steinecke
some time after the discovery of the will The
story, was backed at the trial by one Professor
Aiken, an expert" so called, who solemnly
and on oath swore to the traces of poison at the
post-mortem examination. On evidence like
this, Dr. Schoeppe has been imprisoned three
years, has been twice tried and once sentenced
to death. AT the trial just closed the testi
mony of Professor Aiken was torn to tatters by
by medical practitioners of high standing, and
the evidence of the prisoner in innocence was
so conclusive that the chief Justice, in his charge
to the jury, said that be believed at was Gods
providence alone which had saved the Court
and former jury from committing a great
wrong" The wrong has now been tardily rec
titled, and an innocent man, over whom the
fear of death has been impending for three
years, at length goes free. But In view
of the disagreement of physicians at the
Stokes, Wharton, and Schoeppe murder trials.

of medical testimony and juries will, in the flu
ture, be cautious about basing their verdcts on
