\ BROOKLYN MYSTERY.
(FrOm the New York Era,l

Another brutal murder has been COM
mitted in Brooklyn, and although the DO
ice and detectives are making every effort
IN their power, they are unable, US yet TO
unravcl the mystery connected with the
terrible affair The facts thus far elected
| are us follows; At eight o'clock Yesterday
evening Mr.. PanormO, professor of
music, left the boa ding house of Mrs.
Snow, corner of Pineapple and Fulton
! streets, where he had room engaged, to
give lesson to pupil at Al Cumberland
street, which is opposite Fort Green park.
Nothing further was heard from him until
1918, when he returned, covered COM
pletely with blood and presenting horri-
bic appearance. The left eye seemed to be
forced out Of the socket and there was n
deep cash three and one-half inches long
on his head. Miss Snow saw the p.ofes.
sor come in, and helped him to lounge
IN the room. She says that the only eXpla-
nation he could give of the matter was
that when he left the house in Cnmber-
land street he took Il downtown Myrtle
avenue car, and was there set upon by
gang of men, who beat him about the face
and head with some blunt instrument,

W cdnesday, when he died. On searching
his pockets it was found that his fine
gold watch was stolen, but his pocket
book, which he kept in his pistol-pocket,
and which contained large sum OF money,
remained untouched. Drs. Swinley,
Stubs and Crosby were called in to attend
him, but they saw at once from the nature
Of his wounds that he could not recover.

that England must give immediate notice

have been taken already, that if the
American case is as reported, efforts at

Telegraph reports that negotiations to that
end have been opened between England
and America, and that the British repre-

great severity, and urge that the govern

that the British government ought to dc.

The Russian government, and unless they
are ordered TO return, will continue their

they remain here till Tuesday, and will

THE OHIO LIQUOR LAW.
now IT WORKS.

Hon. b. +. Adams A,semblyman iron
Dane county, Wis, received the following
from a leading law firm in Cleveland
Ohio, on Sunday last 1t was written for
private information merely. It, pubIica-
ton will be of general interest
Cincinnati, Jan. %, ls72.
Yours of the 22d instant is received rel
alive to the workings Of our liquor law.
/ suppose you have reference to our
state law making liquor sellers liable in
civil damages for sale of liquor to husband
father, etc. 1t makes great iuttering
among liquor dealers, for they are afraid
of it; and temperance men are corre-
spondingly well pleased with it.
There have been in this city numerous
suits brought by wives against the seller
for sale to husbands for damages, and near
~ all have been successful. At our last
term of court Common Pleas u wife
obtained 500 and the case did not seem
to be one Of peculiar hardship either. The
law isa very stringent one, and except
by men, Is considered II good one. In u
city of this size it seems To DO impossible
to stop the sale of liquors, for we have
strong prohibitory law, and yet there are
some 1000 places here where liquor is pub
licly gold.
of personal liability in regard 10 its work.
ings is, that its tendency i, in the right di-
rection, for il does act as Il restl aint, and
few doses have a wholesome effect. Ina
great many oil the country places and cit
les of smaller size, no liquor can be had.
Our county hold that if the husband
was u drunkard, and did not contribute 10
the support of the wife and family, then
the wife has nothing te lose
by the reason of the sellers letting
him have liquor in otner words,
the wife must prove actual losses,
though our jury don't seem to figure very |
close in this matter. Perhaps you might |
SO fix your bail rs to make the fact of the
sale Prima Jdcfe case.
There was case of this kind here. A
certain person took number of friends

the number the husband of the wife who
was plaintiff. The saloon keeper got

now pending in our legislature, to amend

In the case of Benjamin F.

In the case of Benjamin +.
Spriggs (Democrat), Of Noble
county, who tied his opponent
for the Legislature last fall,
and then was declared elected
by the canvassers casting lots,
the House has virtually decided
that as Mr.. Spriggs holds the
certificate, and there is no con-
test. he is to retain his seat.
The Election Committe, how
ever, could not find any law to
determine a tie vote for Repre-
sentatives by casting lots. We
understand there would have
been abundant evidence to
show that Mr.. Spliggs had a
majority of all the votes cast
at the election, had there been
a contest.

Out upon the ocean one
dark night, a war vessel opened
fire upon what was taken to be
the vessel of the enemy. A
whole broad.side fire of solid
shot was poured into this un-
fortunate craft that was soon
to be demolished. Then the
pivot guns of heavy calibre
were brought to bear upon this
dark object. Grape canister,
hot shot, in fact every instru-
ment of destruction was turned
loose, and the very heavens
resounded with the thunders
of artillery. But the enemy's
vessel remained unharmed
throughout this deadly fire.
Upon the approach of daylight
it was discovered that they
had been firing at a huge rock
that reared its head amid ocean,
So it is with many people in
their power to defeat some
great principle. But when the
light comes, they still find it

John Sherman's first legisla.
tive act after his return to the
Senate from his electioneering
visit to Columbus, was to an
tagonize with the revenue re.
formess on the repeal of the salt
duty, and by his influence as
chairman of the Finance Com.
mittee prevent the immediate
repeal of the odious tax. Mr.
Sherman was perfectly safe on
this, as he has seven years Of
office-holding before him, and
is once more the obedient ser.
vant of the monopolists. The
duty on salt is clear piracy, and
the combination of the sal
companies one Of the most op.
pressive monopolies in tht
land.
