The Recent Outrage.

JERSEY CRY, August 20.-Some new
Developments have occurred connected
with the murder of Della Corcoran, an
Irish girl, supposed to have been outra-
ged and drowned by negroes Three
negroes were arrested at the time, but
all firmly deny any connection with
the tragedy. Byres, tits said has made
a confession. He says that on the
night that Della was murdered, he
reached home at 7:30 p. NJ. Ray and
frisco were with Byres's wife on the
stoop. Della was with them and all
were drinking beer. Della was treating
all hands. Bill McLaue and another
white man came up and more drink
was obtained. Byres did not drink.
Byres wanted to 60 across the river to
Yonkers. He got boat, the other men
said they would 60 along. They ap.
peared on the boat with Della and Byres'
wife. When in the middle oftbe stream
Real pulled pistol and fred two shots

They returned 10 the boat and rowed
back. Della said she wanted to 60
home to the grove. After landing some
trouble arose between Ray and frisco.
Della started to walk home. frisco aud
Ray followed and outraged her, leaving
her almost insensible on the road.
Byres then overheard them planningito
take the boat and 60 further with her.
The rumored confession of Byres creates
considerable excitement.

In-And-In breeding.

There is not the slightest foundation
for the strong prejudice which exists in
the public mind against iH-snd>iD-
breeding. On tue contrary, within GER
tain limits, this plan is highly adyanta-
geous. Many Of the best horses, az
well as the best short-horned cattle, we
have ever had, were very much and
closely inbred. To a certain, extent
this was unavoidable when the studs
and herds were first formed; but il
makes little difference whether it was
the result OF necessity or OF choice. 1t
has fully established the immense sd-
vsntsges of breeding in-and-in, when
the stock is OF the right sort; indeed
we can see no other possible way Of re-
tanning the perfections OF aly particular
strain than that OF returning frequently
to tse same blood When the out-and,
out crossing ia strictly pursued, the
tenth generation contains only the one
thousand-and nd-twentysiourth part OF the
original stock, which is a mere nominal
affair.

Destructive Fire.

FcEr WAYNE, August 20.-A fire
broke out about2 o'clock this morning
in Daniel Nesters block, corner Of
Broadway aud West Jefferson streets,
occupied by A. C. KeiIs drug store,
Keil & McKenzie's, dry goods snd mill
linery establishment and Christian
Sprigers boot and shoe store. The fire
had obtained such hesdway before be-
ing discovered that it was impossible to
subjue the flames, and the whole block,
together with its contents, was entirely
consumed. The efforts OF the fire de-
partmsnt were turned principally to the
adjoining buildings TO prevent its
spreading, and by the great efforts OF
the firemen the fire was confined to
Nesters block. The fire originated
from the outside, and everything goes
to show it to be the work OF an incendi-
ary. The total loss is estimated at
sl50 Insured for about $4,000.

themselves and their ancestors. We
shall thus secure the transmission OF
their good qualities.
Un the other hand, if there is any
special defect, it will be sure to pass
down, when it is thrown in-snd-in, and
will hardly ever be got rid Of We
think It is owing, in great measure, to
want OF attention to this rule, that there
is 60 much prejudice against close
breeding. 1t will succeed only when
the good qualities bear an immense pre-
ponderance over the bad ones.
Experienced breeders very properly
place great reliance on "blood." In
short this just amounts to the fact, that
good and bad qualities are all heredi-
tary. Like begets like" No person
ever saw a Percheron foal got by a
blood horse out OF blood mare, or a
short-horned calf by q loug-horned
bull out OF a long-horned COW. Such
a thing is never expected. If, then,
these general characteristics are inyari-
ably transmitted, have we not some
reason at least to conclude that all
things are hereditary? In tact, that
the offspring will inherit, either whole
or in part, the most trihipg peculiari-
ties of the ancestors, sometimes taking
more after the one parent, and some-
times more after the other, or being q
mixture Of both.
Whatever the peculiarities are
whether soundness, disease, form, tenn
per, softness, strength, durability, speed,
wind or anything-they pass down
from generation 10 generation. To take
an illustration from very long line oi
the purest breeding, we may refer to
the hereditary color OF Hereford and
Devon COWS. Who ever saw Here's
ford without a white face, or Devon
of any other color than a rich red
Here we see that the very color OF the
animal runs in blood. While good
blood is indispensable, it is not every
thing. Above all things it is necessary,
in order to secure success, to consider
closely the old crosses OF blood, aud to
cross judiciously without which full con
fidence cannot be placed in peiigree.-
