IT is fair to presume that the InteM-
Ger has no objections to any OF the rail-
road papers now before Council. Two
days have elapsed and nothing is said
by the editor OF that paper except his
fallacious constitutional argument. If
a new batch of objections appears in
this mornings issue, it has been
purposely withheld to give the friends
OF the road no opportunity to
reply. Fairness is not an invariable
characteristic OF that paper, nor
OF those who with it oppose the
Interests OF the CITY.

MURDER.
An Old Man Mn rdered In His Bed-A
Mysterious Affair.
rER.] ]

P,rrsBURGa, Pa, December 5.-A
horrible murder was committed in the
town Of Eldersville, Washington coun-
tv, last night. The victim was John
Allinghsm, aged 70 years. He kept a
store and, with his wife, occupied
room on the first floor. Last night
they retired at their usual hour, about
l0I o'clock. Mrs. Alling ham was
awakened by the terrific report of q guu
fred in the room, and discovered that
one of her fingers had been nearly shot
of. A discovery Of lar more import
was shortly made. Her husband, who
lay in bed, was dead, having been muir.
dered by the deadly load, of which her
hand received q stray ehot. She raised
an immediate alarm and the neighbors
came in. Mr.. Allingham had been
shot in the head with heavy load OF
slugs. A considerable portion Of his
skull was blown of, while his brains
and blood were scattered all about.
Further investigation showed that the
shot had been fired from outside through
the window. 1t was evident that the
deed had been deliberately planned and
full preparations made for it's execution.
A little platform had been erected just
by the window as q rest for the instru-
ment Of death. This unique instrument
was also found. Ii was piece OF gas
or water pipe about Eve feet long and
having a two inch bore. This strange
weapon had been heavily loaded with
suss. The murder evidently was not
committed for the purpose Of robbery.
for the building was not entered. Sus-
picion rests on certain parties, who are
known to have eumity against Mr.. Al.
lingham. No arrests have yet been
made.

lied back In their regular routine, I
thought I'd pen you line.
TIE men at work on the A. & s.
Canal voted rs follows: 8 for Grant, 3
for Greeley. and several bedUckers
not voting.
We enjoy life here around our huge
camp fires. We have erected our
shanties.with heavy tinbe*, setting
plank upright, leaving spice IN the
center OF the roof for smoke to escape,
consequently leaving our fire in open
space. Our town grew finely for one
day. 10000 feet OF lumber heing l,sed
mp in that pace OF time. Determined
not to be behind the balance Of the
world in improvements. we are now
booming the river. and have chartered
one mill on the Santiam to saw lum-
ler for the express purpose ot having
the one thing neetful fer improving
our city Emmasville. We can hear
distinctly the stroke Of the large bell
ut Lebanon, and thought we heard
Taylor lectnriug-but they must come
to MS or they will not flourish.
The canal is progressing as rapidly
rs could be expected with such in-
clement weather as we have been hav-
ing. So much rain has fallen as to re-
tard the digging in the deep cut"
materially. Two weeks Of good
weather. however, would enable the
contractor to 60 through 1t like mice.
After the canal Is finished the finest
kind of lumber can be floated to
Albany, which alone would be Of the
greatest advantage to her, beside the
additional interest Of an almost un-
limited water power which 1t would
afford for the running Of mills, etc.
Mr.. Morris contract Is for $500
feet, which takes the canal to the edge
Of the prairie. The cutting averages
twelve feet In depth, twenty feet wide
at the bottom aud sloped one by one.
The cutting Is all the way through
timber, and some of the trees and
old stumps that must be removed are
worthy Of mention for their size, one
Of them taking forty yards Of dirt to
undermin0it, and three weeks steady
work to get il clear for the plows.
Work will be steadily pushed on the
cu.al unless the heavy rains should
cause the Santialn to overflow Its banks.
There is now 800 feet Of the canal COM
pleted, and 1880 feet dug q depth Of
eight feet.
Jase. Wheeler has a number Of
hands engaged in putting In . head
