A GREAT CRIME Co,nnrrEp.-The

A GREAT CRIME CoMnrrED.-The
Hagerstown Twice A Week says, Cor
oner J. A. Wright was called upon to
hold an inquest on the body Of a young
woman named Ross, who died under
what were considered suspicious circum-
stances at the house of Mrs. Susan
Hays, who resides in the western sec
ton of Hagerstown. Exactly what the
suspicious circumstances were we are
not advised. 1t is stated, however, that
the young girl, who is said to be OF
good family, and quite progressing
in appearance, came to the house OF
Mrs. Hays, about two weeks since from
the Beaver Creek neighborhood. The
Coroner's Jury rendered a verdict on
Thursday evening after an examination
of some fifteen or twenty witnesses.
Facts of such importance were elected
as to Justify the following verdict
Louisa Ross came to her death by rea-
son of abortion practiced upon her per
son at the house of one Susan Hays, in
Hagerstown, and that the said Susan
Hays was principal and John McCauley
and others, to the Jury aforesaid UNI
known. were accessories thereto"
The parties implicated were promptly
arrested, the woman Hays being lodged
in the county Jail and McCauley giving
bond for his appearance at court.

A SAD STORY.

We learn from Mr.. +. j. Settle, of
this county, who has been running
saw mill at Sand Rifle, in Henry coun-
ty, the particulars of one OF the saddest
tragedies in connection with the recent
visitation Of the cholera at that place
that has come within our knowledge.
AT the time of the first cholera panic at
Sand Rifle, the Eddington family, con
sisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Eddington and
their four children, left the place and
fled with the rest After a short time,
however, they returned and took pos
session of their dwelling, which is situ-
ated directly against the cliff in the val
ley of the kentucky river, which is very
narrow at this point. Within two or
three days after returning, Miss Edding
ton, young lady Of some seventeen
or eighteen years, took the cholera
at 10 p. m and died in four hours Her
brother-in law, MIR. Shelton, who waited
on her during her sickness and after
wards sat up with her corpse, was taken
the same day and died within few
hours. Mr.. Eddington's son, a young
man of nineteen or twenty years, with
some difficulty obtained wagon and
team with which to convey the body of
his dead sister to place of burial at
Union Church, six miles distant, having
previously sent forward a request to
some friends to have the grave dug.
He was followed by his father and
mother and the two younger children
in another vehicle. On their arrival in
the vicinity of the church they not only
found that the request to have the grave
prepared had been neglected, but the
people residing there refused to permit
them to enter their houses. The young
man took the coffin containing his Sis
ter's body to the church, and after de-
posting it therein repaired to the resi-
dence of an uncle few miles off, but
by the time he arrived there he was so
far gone with the cholera that he died
in few hours. Mr. Eldington, with
his wife and two children, went a short
distance from the church to an unoccu-
pied house recently vacated by its own
tr for new one. by this time all four
were sick with the fearful disease, butt
is believed that soon after entering this
unoccupicd house its owner came about
nine or ten o'clock at night with a load
ed shotgun and with threats of instant
death drove them out. They, too, were
then compelled, sick nigh unto death as
they were,to seek shelter with the dead
body of the daughter in the church, and
there before daylight the next morning,
the two children died. Later some
good Samaritans from the neighborhood
came forward, and after performing the
offices of burial for their children took
Mr. and Mrs. Eddington totheir homes,
where they finally triumphed over the
fell disease and were restored TO health.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE Loss BY FIRE-
TIE ANrIEr,M PAPER MILL DESTROYED.
just a little after dark on Thursday
evening last, after the day hands had
quit work, smoke was seen to issue from
rao-room on the second floor of the An
tietam Paper Mill, situated about one
mile and half from IIagcrstown, on
the Creek of that name, and belonging
to Mr. John w. Stonebraker, of this
town. and Mr.. Dushane, of Baltimore
When the room was entered it was fill
ed with flame aud smoke, which spccdl-
" spread over the building, destroying
LARGE part of the stock and much of
the valuable machinery which it con-
tanned During the progress of the fire
a LARGE rotary steam boiler burst, the
pieces passing through thick wall land
small fragments flying to the distance
of one hundred yards. \ tenement
house near the mill was also destroyed.
The light of the fire was at once seen
in this town,and being properly located
the alarm was given by the ringing of
bells, and number of onr citizens pro
ceeded to the Mill on foot, horseback
and in vehicles. The Hook and Ladder
Company and the Antietam Engine
Company also reached the scene OF the
conilacration at a pretty early hour, and
the Steamer at later hour, all of which
rendered such service as was necessary
and possible after their arrival, but 1t Is
very much to be regretted that the
Steamer was not allowed to GO at an
earlier hour, as it is believed that much
property would have been saved by it.
The origin of the fire has not been
definitely ascertained, and there are
consequently different theories advanced,
one of which is that it was the result of
spontaneous combustion among the
rags, but Mr. Stonebraker rejects this
theory, because the rags were in no
condition to produce such result, and
as the other theories are not more prob
able, the cause OF the fire is likely to
remain mystery.
The loss is not as heavy rs the first
published accounts have made it, rs
part of the machinery can be used, and
a part of the stock was saved. There
was total insurance of Thirty nine
Thousand Dollars How much the loss
will exceed this insurance has not yet
been accurately ascertained, but it is
hoped and believed that it will not very
largely do SO and that Dir. Stonebraker,
who is one of the most enterprising, en-
ergetic and public-spirited citizens we
have in our midst, and his partner, Mr..
Dushane, will be enabled to rebuild the
Mill at once, and thus restore its useful
ness to our community as public en-
terprise. It's temporary destrnctlon'
however, will fall heavily upon the nu-
merous operatives employed therein and
these have our warmest sympathles Ior
their share of this loss.
We understand that Messrs- Stone,
braker and Dushane will continue to tlll
orders from the Mill at Funkstown,
which will be welcome news to the nu-
merous Printers whom they have so
long supplied with such an excellent
quality of paper.-Hdgerslo'cn Herald,
September 10th.

The Seven Years, Mystery.

The Peoria Transcript publishes a
lengthy account of the result of the
efforts of II. III. Matson, a Peoria de-
tective, in unraveliDg the mystery of
the case of tie man Myers and the
woman Smith, arrested at Indianapo-
lis for murder at Evansville, six or
seven years ago. Myers was in the
penitentiary Mt Auburn, N. Y, with
the husband OF Mrs. Smith, in 1852,
and they escaped together and were
again in for robbery, for which Myers
was arrested and turned states evil
dence on Smith, and then helped him
to escape, when they both came to
Chicago and worked together in a fur
niture factory on Randolph street
Myers was again arrested for theft,
anu sent to the penitentiary, but was
pardoned out by the aid Of his wife.
He then came to Peoria with
her, and some time after
Smiths death took up with
Mrs. Smith, and sent his own wife
away to her friends at Joliet. He af-
forwards became a brakeman on the
Bureau Valley branch of the Chicago,
IhO1h dilNA l. htlA11 anu
lived with a young woman whom he
had seduced at the upper end of his
route, while he kept Mrs. Smith here.
For a larceny committed here he was
arrested and held to bail which he for
feited, and went away taking his mis-
tress o. the upper end of the route
along. Mrs. Smith followed during
the next winter, and they never re-
turned to Peoria. Matsons theory IS
that the headless corpse found was that
of the young girl whom Myers had
seduced, and he feels confident that the
entire matter can be traced through.
If, however, the murder was committed
in 1866, for which Myers is arrested,
then Myers is innocent, for he was
living in Peoria at that time but if it
vas in 1867; the clue to the mystery is
in Matson's hands.
