A Terrible Tragedy.
FOUR MEMBERS OF A FAMILY MURDERED
In A NIGHT.

FOUR MEMBERS OF A FAMILY MURDERED
IN A NIGHT.
A horrible tragedy occurred six miles
northwest of Dayton, o., on Saturday
night, woman named Mary Marguardt
aged about 80, and three children, aged
respectively six and eight years and six
months, being killed. The woman was
found in bed naked, apparently stran-
gled the children were found on the
bank of creek some distance from the
house. The two elder had been drowned,
and the infants head was crushed, Mar
guardt, who is now in Jail, is evidently
insane from spritualistic causes. The
story which he himself tells is, that a
few DAYS ago he read chapter to his
family from the Bible and then accused
his wife of being a witch and using
wtchcraft, his eldest daughter confirm
ing him in the accusation. On Saturday
night he told his wife he wanted the chill
dren to leave. He and his wife then
stripped naked and knet down and
prayed fifteen minutes. They then strip
ped two of the children, took them out
and drowned them, and laid them side
by side on the bank of the stream, then
dashed out the brains of the infant and
left it lying in the woods, after which
they returned home and went TO bed
After lying fifteen minutes he told his
wife he wanted to send her to heaven,
and Immediately strangled her to death
After that ne rose aud prayed until 3
o'clock in the morning, when he went to
the nearest neighbor and told the whole
story. Marguardt is German farmer,
and has been in the country IS years.
The murdered woman was his second
wife.
AT the coroner's inquest, Monday, the
evidence was taken of Elizabeth, aged
seven, and Habakkuk, aged six. They
said that ON Saturday night after dark
their father and mother hunted all the
children. These two hid themselves.
There was light burning, and they saw
their father and mother kill the other
three children. The father killed the
baby first, and then the mother killed
Leah and Samuel. Both the father and
mother were naked, and when the deed
was doue came into the house began
praying to God. The two surviving
children were hunted for after the Others
had been killed, but managed to get
away, and about daylight Sunday morn
ing got to straw stack, where ebey were
found 10 the afternoon. The examina-
ton is still proceeding before the coro-
ner.

The BROOKLYN VoTING FRAUDS
The Brooklyn committee of seventy
FIVE" have just published in pamphlet
form their report on the last election in
that city. They found that in 10 wards
6.977 fraudulent votes were cast on a
total poll list of 4S,74S, and they esti-
mate the whole number of fraudulent
votes cast in the city at IL 1921, the ag-
gregate vote being SO, 1919. Every known
variety of cheating seems to have been
carried on in the openest and most I'M
blushing manner. Gangs of repeaters
went the rounds from poll to poll in
spectors refused TO pay any attention to
challenges, threw ballots ON the floor,
encouraged minors and non-resideDts to
vote eight ballots at time, and stuffed
the boxes themselves at discretion; hon
est inspectors and challengers were hus-
tied away, knocked down, and dragged
off to the station houses; the police in
many of the districts were active and
Jealous in helping on the frauds. 1t is
to be hoped that Brooklyn may not
soon see repetition of such disgraceful
scenes

Elections in New York.

REPUBLICAN GAINS AND VICTORIES.
There is republican thunder all round
this spring, giving strong admonition
of the pending presidential election. The
charter elections in New York have now
been mostly held and generally indicate
republican victories throughout the
State with but few minor exceptions, es-
pecially is this true of Elmira, Pough-
keepsie, Cohoes, Utica, Rochester, New
burgh and Auburn. Almost the solitary
exception to this chain of victories is o.
wego, which has reelected democratic
mayor and destroyed the republican ma
jority in the council. But in Utica,
where democratic mayor was elected
last year by 243 majority, republican
mayor is chosen to succeed him by 144
majority Elmira gives republican
gain over last year of 3S9, re-electing
Flood Mayor, by 629 majority, and Civ
ing the heaviest majority for the repub-
can ticket ever thrown in that city. Dem
ocratic Troy chooses its mayor this year,
as usual, from its favorite party, but by
q majority which is nearly 1000 less
than last year. From various other and
smaller places this general tone of vieto.
.ry is reported, and the aspect of the field
is very encouraging to those in the re-
publican faith.

SWEEPING REPUBLICAN TRIUMPHs.
A few more city elections were held

results:

lessly democratic, elects republican al.

cratic candidate for governor.

publicans have carried every ward, and

THE MURDER OF A GIRL by her fa-
Their, William Williamson, at Chester
field, Ind, to prevent her marriage to
young man whom he did not like, was
a peculiarly narrowing case. Miss Will
Hanson was about 10 years Of age, at
tractive and much respected, and had
for some time been receiving the address
es of young man named George Lam
dry, who lives near her fathers residence
and to whom she was engaged to be mar
ried. Landry has always borne very
good reputation for honesty, industry and
sobriety, but, for some unaccounta BILE
reason the ather of the young lady OBJ
iected to her Wedding him, in fact, any
one else. No one can account for his OBJ
lection to his daughter being married.
Miss Williamson, accompanied by her
intended husband, left home on the 2Sth
ult., and came to the house of Mr..
Remesburg, where they intended the we'd
ding to take place, after which they in-
tended to go to the residence Of the
groom's uncle, some nine miles north of
the scene of the tragedy. On the even
ing of the 2Sth. Landry procured the
necessary license and remained in town
all night, going back the next morning,
little prepared for the scene in waiting
for him. Williamson went to the mouse
of Mr.. Remesburg the evening before
the murder, and tried to persuade his
daughter to give up her intention of mar
rying, but she remained steadfast in her
determination and true to her lover.
The interview between father and daugh-
ter was assuming threatening attitude
when Mr.. Remesburg told Williamson
that if he did not desist he would have
to leave the house, after which he drop
ped the conversation and retired to rest.
In the morning, while Mr.. Remesburg
was at the barn, Williamson seated him.
Sc at his daughters bedside (she being
yet in bed), and engaged her in a quiet
conversation, and finally asked her if she
was still determined to marry Mr.. Ian
dry, when she replied, ayes, if / have

which he drew large sized pocket knife
and stabbed her twice, once in the arm
and once in the throat, penetrating the
windpire, from the effects of which she
died 10 few minutes. Williamson re-

where it was easily extracted. The 9th

neighborhood of the windpipe, and the
