special dispatch to the New York Tia.s.
following PARTICULARS of the shocking outrage
and murder at Salisbury. Penn, on Monday
last, a brief acknowledg merit of which has been
puhlished in The STAG:
Yesterday morning Salisbury, Penn, was the
scene OF probably one OF tue most feni>h IN
ders that has ever occurred IN this STATE. Fac
victim is Lizzie Kline, "a adopted daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Kline, and was fourteen years OF
age. Her fathers name is Mess, aud he Resides
IN Ohio, but her mother is dead. The child had
been sent to neighborisg store to make sons
purchase, and to lessen her walk, took shorter
path over the hill. She made her parch sses,
and was returning when she was waylad, out
ragged, and murdered in the most brutal manner
by two rough and desperate looking trsmps.
The prolonged absence from home alarmed Mrs
Kline, and she went in search of her. When
she reached belt of woods in lonely place
she was struck dumb with horror by the
CHASTITY SPECTACLE
which met her gaze. Her child lay with her
limbs bare, her clothing torn into shreds. ana
the skull and face beaten almost TO a iellv
After Mrs. Kline had partially recovered from
her almost petrifed condition, her shrieks
brought the neighbors to the appalling scene.
Taking the child up TO convey her % more
comfortable quarters. IL was found that life
was not extinct but so unconscious was she
that she could not utter word. SO intense
was the excitement among the citizens that the
perpetrators would have been lynched on the
spot If they had been found. The child fingered
until about o'clock In the afternoon. whan
she died. This morning two police officers.
while standing at the corner o. Penn and 10th
streets, in this CITY observed two
SUSPICIOUS LOOKING CHARACTERS,
answering the description of the IN IN who were
supposed TO have committed the murder, fun
descriptions of whom had been telegraphed Ia
the MAYOR of this city. They arrested them
and took them before the mayor, who commit
ted them to jail this afternoon. In answer to
summons, several residents of Salisbury ar
rived, and upon being shown the alleged muir
derers, identified them as the tramps who had
been lowering around Salisbury. The boots
of the prisoners were subsequently taken to the
scene of the murder, and were found to ct the
boot tracks exactly. They gave their names as
Hugo Poole and Morris Hyndeman, and their
ages respectively thirty-eight and forty years.

CONSOLIDATION OF THE Chicago e.

CONSOLIDATION OF THE CHICAGO 4
N. w. AND MIL. & st. PAUL RAILWAYS
1t is announced that the directors of the
Chicago 4 Northwestern and of the Miiwau-
kee L St. Paul Railroad Companies have
agreed to pool their ca rnings for the next
seven years. In other words, these two
great corporations are to be essentially
consolidated under one management. The
The action of the New York directors has
yet 10 be ratified by the representative of
the German and Dutch interests now on
his way from Amsterdam. 1t is presumed,
however that he will sancti on the arrange
mcnt that has been agreed upon at New
become one in interest and control. The
purpose of this combination is of course to
avoid com petition in the business that nat
urally tends to the two lines of road, and
signifies such rates of transportation as the
consolidated management may see FL to
impose. By this union over $IO0, 900, 900
ofcapitat and the control of over 1000
miles of railway is to all intents and pur-
poses placed in the hands of single corpora
ton: the vast not to say, dangerous pow
er that it will thus be enabled to WELD will
be readily comprehended. The interests of
the entire Northwest will be affected by
the consolidation, and the people OF this
State in particular, cannot bat regret the
action taken by those two powerful cor
poraions, as they had hoped to see heal
thy com petition maintained between them.
We lad hoped moreover, that nothing
would be done TO precipitate such contest
in this state as is now going on in Illinois
but if our railroad companies choose a any
time to present the issue, we suppose the
people viii. not hesitate to meet it and
they will probably be as well prepared at
one time as anot Milwaukee Sentinel.

A WANDERING AGENT.-Mr. w.
n. Mason WAS formerly a re sideut of this
city, AMI for several years taught school
here. Late years he has been agent for the
Northwestern Life Insurance Co., of Mil
waukee. at Minneapolis Minu. Some days
since he left Minnea polls for ST. Paul hav-
ing large amount of money belonging to
the company. For several days he was not
head from and grave apprehensions were
felt as to his safety, it being coniect ured
that he had fallen iuto the hands Of some
Desperate. Detectives we're sent out in
search of Mason, but could fnd no trace of
him. The train, howe7er, ION the succeed
ing Saturday after he was missed brought
TO Minneapolis Mr.. w. n. Mason, partner
in the general office in ST. Paul of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany. whose disappearance had caus-
and gave rise to unpleasant suspicious as
to his business integrity among those who
were not aware that ne was liable to aber-
ration of the mind. The story he related to
some of Lis friends, is some W hat as follows
He had a dim, indistinct recollection
of having been accosted at st. Paul
by some one who told him that friend
on A steamboat at the leyee wished to see
him, that on the way to the boat he stopped
somew here and was given a potion that
affected him strangely; that he remembers
nothing more until he awoke lying On a pile
OF hay, in shanty, on the shore OF II great
lake. He has various vague, disconnected
recolections, the Minneapol is reporter of
the Pioneer says, 'of some person who has
been with or induced him to go away some
where 10 engage in Il real estate speculation
and finally robbed him of his money
The relatives of Mr. Mason state that a
few years ago he had a severe attack of sun
stroke, from the effects OF which he has new
er fully recovered, and that for some time
past it has been noticed that he was not in
his right mind 1t is further stated that
his intimate associates are utterly incredu-
lous of any disposition ON his part other
than to be strictly honest and prompt in
all his dealings. The further develop
ments in the case will be watched with
much interest by the friends of Mr.. Mason.
