A startling Story.

CHICAGO, August 4-The Times
makes known a startling discovery to-
day in a three column article. The
writer states that he was night reporter
in the winter of 1871, and found one
Nelse Johnson lying on the sidewalk
on Quincy street. suffering from wounds
received in a row. The reporter picked
him up and took him to poor woman's g
house, where he recovered. The re-
porter claims that johnson gave him a
full account of the murder OF the Joyce
children, at West Roxbury, Massachu-
sets, in 1864. as the latter had received
it, during a drunken spree in this city,
from barber, who stated that he was
the murderer of the children, aud gave
a detailed account of the deed. John
son says that the baber told him he
followed the children, in June, 1865, to
West Roxbury woods, and there at
tempted to outrage the girl, but she
stoutly resisted his efforts, and
he struck her down with large, white
handled knife. Just then he saw .
boy returning from the other side Of
the pasture and started to kill him.
The boy ran and the barber chased and
caught him and plunged the knife in
him many times. He returned to the
girl and found her at the top of ledge
of rocks overlooking the highway.
Unable 10 make a noise, she vainly
attempted to waive for assistance, but
being weak from loss of blood, had
fallen on her face insensible. The
murderer outraged the girl and stabbed
her repeatedly and fled. This barber
said he WAS an associate of thieves.
Amsley Panther was arrested at the
time on suspicion OF being the mur-
derer. Johnson's description Of the
murderer is as follows: He is five
feet nine or ten inches high, and
is large, powerful man with
an immense neck; he is 2S or 80 years
old, and is now either in Boston or
Springfield, Massachusetts His name
Johnson could not give. The murderer
buried the knife under beech tree on
the spot. The reporter says johnson
gave him the information on condition
that he would not report it till the latter
was dead. johnson died few days
ago in the hospital here, and the Times
now publishes the secret for the in
formation of the Boston police, and
asserts It's belief in its truth.
Libel Suit.
The friends OF Mrs Edsall, whose
husband was found dead under mystic
rious circumstances just before the
great fire, are, it is reported, about to
commence heavy libel suit against
the Times tor publishing, in recent
Sunday issue, a sensation which stated
that the lady had a paramour 10 whom
suspicion pointed as the murderer OF
Edsall The deceased was a member
of the large drug firm of Hurlbut T.
Edsall The former isa brother OF Mrs.
Edsall.
The Missing Steiner.
Nothing has been heard up to date
of the missing Berthold Steiner. 1t
now appears that he took away $4,000
or less.
Drowned.
Two men were drowned in the lake
while watering horses.

Honest Jacob"

Governor Jacob is daily trumpeted
forth to a disgusting degree as "the
honest Jacob" Let US see how it is
with his honesty. We admit that
Jacob is an honest man in that he has
not stolen anything, but as regards
honesty Of conduct we come to another
conclusion. JACOBS main supporters
are the Radicals and they are opposed
10 the new Constitution. Jacob said in
Ronney last week, as We can prove by
q private letter, that be would vote for
it, but his sel6shness keeps him from
declaring publicly his support OF the
new Constitution. Is that honssts

glowing eulogies on the progress of the
Liberal movement throughout the coun'

Conservative. Leach is probably elected
over Settle.

RALEIGH, August 3.-We have five
Congressman. Glorious news from a
number OF the districts. We will carry
the State by from 1000 to 1000 majority.
Complete returns will not be in until
next week. All right.

WASHINGTON, August 4.-The error
seems to be general that the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress from the
Eighth North Carolina District is Gov.
Zebulon B. Vance, but such is not the
case; the successful candidate for Con-
gressional honors is Robert Vance, a
brother Of the Governor. Reports from
North Carolina say that Gov. Vance
will be elected to the United States
Senate to succeed Mr.. Pool, the present
incumbent. Gov. Vance was elected
Senator two years ago, but was refused
admission owing 10 his political disa-
bility. Congress, however, at the last
session, removed his disability, 50 that
there can be no further opposition to
his admission.
Dispatches received here to night from
the Republican sources give North Car
olna to the Democrats by about three
thousand majority.
