THE SALARY GRAB

It has been the especial delight OF
the opposition press to charge the
whole responsibility for the passage
of the back-pay bill upon the Repub-
lican majority in Congress, notwith-
standing that the proportion of DEM
ecratic votes east in favor of the
measure was larger than the proper
ton of Republican votes. The real
animus of the two parties concerning
the bill referred to was displayed the
ether day by the respective action OF
the eaucuses of members of the Up
per House. In the Republican eau
Gus q resolution looking to the repeal
of the grab" bill was unanimously
adopted, while in the Democratic eau
Gus like resolution was defeated and
q salary -grabber nominated as the
party candidate for Speaker.
Even the respectable organs ofDem-
ecraey are disgusted with this action
of their Representatives, and de-
nounce it in unmeasured terms.
Three Republican members of Con-
gress have given notice of their in
tention to introduce q bill for the re-
peal of the baek-pay measure, and
there exists no doubt of the passage
of one of these rep ealing bills.

It il announced that all the New
Orleans banks save one are ready to
resume payments, ard that the strong
ones are all determined to stand by
the weaker institution until it can fall
into line with them before resuming.
AS certified cheeks are only incnrring
a discount of from ! to ! per cent,
the effects Of the continued suspen-
sion are very slight, consequently re-
sumption is not so anxiously looked
for as it was some weeks since. It is
the prevailing impression that all the
banks made good thing out of the
panic by having. each one of them, q
broker around the corner who bought
up the checks of the Institution and
divided the profits with the managers.

Quite an error was made in the last
issue Of the CHIEF in stating the
amount for which the State of Louisi-
ana had sued the n. o., NJ. &. T. r.
r. Co., at eight millions of dollars.
We intended to say and should have
said eight hundred theasand dollars.
4 material difference exists between
the two amounts. but we give up the
odd seven million two hundred thous-
and without a pang.

Horrible Murder in Chester County
A Man Killed for Money, dis
membcred and Burid.

WEST CHESTER, Jnly 14..-One Of the
most horrible of murders has just come to
light in Chester county-one that almost
equals the West-Turner affair of Dover,
DeleTare
The village of Jennerville is situated in
Penn township, Chester county, one mile
north of the line of the Baltimore Central
railroad, and six miles northeast of the
borough of Oxford. On the 30th of June
last strange man arrived at the hotel OF
the village and took up quarters, saying
that he had come from Baltimore, aud was
an agent" but giving no name. lie was
in appearance a young man, probaly not
over thirty, with black whiskers.
On the following day team, driven by
William L. Undertook, drove up to the
tavern, and the 'agentn was invited by
UnderZook to take n ride, and accepting
the invitation, they went away together.
The team was hired by Undertook at
Parkesburg. In the evening it was return
cd, and it was remarked by some one taxi
ing it in charge that there was blood upon
it, which was explained by plausible
story. Undertook Immediately left the
neighborhood, and the stranger was never
after seen alive.
Friday last, it was roticed by man that
n large number of buzzards were lowering
about wood, 4 short distance oTthe New
! port and Gap pike, between the villages OF
! Cochranville and Penningtonville. The
man at length went to the place to see what
they were after, and found unearthed the
head and body of q man, and his arms and
legs, which were separate from the body.
He gave notice to the neighborhood, and
the horribly mutilated body was eventually
reconized as that of the stranger who had
been stopping at Jennerville, which was
perhaps a half dozen miles away. a jury
was empanneled by deputy coroner, but
the verdict was sealed and has not yet been
handed over to the coroner of the county
The murdered man was stabbed in three
or four places and his throat was cut. Botl
arms and both legs were severed close tc
the body, the operation having been per
formed in far from bungling manner.
Undertook cannot be found. lie is, Oh
was till lately, ON the Baltimore police
force. lie ia young and has red whiskers
The object of the murder was unques
tionably plumber. There were no clothes
to be found except shoes. 1t is reported
that the man was known to have consi
derable sum of money on his person-somt
say as high as 1900. The severed limb!
were buried in n separate spot from tht
body, and not far from the house of ont
Rhodes, brother-in law of the supposed
murderer. Several parties are suspicioneC
ofknowing something of the affair, NOR
than they want to divulge, but although
there is talk ofarrests none have been mad
as yet.
