A Shocking Murder,

CINCINNATI, November ga most
brutal, revolving and mysterious murder
was committed at the tannery OF Henry
Freihurg, on Livingstone street, sometime
between ten o'clock last night and day
light this morning. One OF the workmen
went to the tannery this morning, and,
looking into the boiler furnace, observed
upon the hsllconsumcd fire tho body Of a
man with the arms and legs burned
of. Herman Schilling, q workman
OF the tsnnery, who slept there at
night, was missing. The body was
extracted and identified as that Of
Schilling. In the stable were signs oil q
desperate encounter. A bloody pitchfork
lay on the ground and blood stains form.

Within the enclosure in which the stable
was located three fierce mastills were
running loose. From this and other cir.
cumstances 1t was inferred that the muir.
derers must have been perfectly familiar
with the premises as we'll as with the
habits Of the murdered man. Suspicion
settled on three men named Andrew
Egner, Fred Egner, his son, and
George Rufer, a discharged employee
Of the tanncry. Persons testi.

Egner and his Son charged Schilling with
her seduction, and went into the tannery
and beat him severely with cooper stavcs.
For this they were fined heavily in the
police court and bound over TO keep the
peace for one year.

Tho Need Of Rain.

There was slight fall of rain last even
ing, but at this writing hardly enough has
fallen to lay the dust. The present long
dry spell has been extraordinary in its
character II has been many weeks since
VIC have had anything like first class
rain. We presume that since the first oil
September scarcely more than on inch oil
rain has fallen in the upper Ohio Valley.
This would hardly amount to one good
soaking rain. The consequence of this
protracted drouth Is that even In this
well watered country of ours tho people
are beginning to be seriously inconveni-
enced for want oi their usual water sup

gone entirely dry, and in some places the

The heaviest rainfall is in the tropics
That in the tropics Of the Eastern Hemis
phere ia placed at n inches, and in the
Western Hemisphere at 115, while it is
much greater at particular points. The
average for the temperate regions of the
Eastern Hemisphere is 81 inches, and Tor
the Western Hemisphere 80 inches. Some
notable rains are recorded. For instance,
at Catskill, New York, in 1910, q fall Of IS
inches occurred in u hours; in day and
night at Genoa, Italy, SO inches Of water
fell; at Joyeuse, South France, in 1927, 81
inches fell in 90 hours; at Aracan, Bur-
nah, 60 inches fell in July and 43 in April,
1925; at Cayenne, latitude deg. SO North,
ljl inches fell between the 1st and 2Ith
OF February, 1920,
When it is borne in mind, that tho
main annual water supply ia furnished in
the fall season, and evidently as stock
for winter use, the small quantity received
since the Isl Of September is well calCu-
lated to excite some anxiety, especially on
the part OF the great multitude to whom
rivers and other permanent supplies are
not accessible. Still, the case is far from
hopeless. Already We have had occasion
TO learn that the country can get along
with reasonable success with supply OF
rain much below the average, and this
experience may be repeated the coming
winter. At all events, true philosophy,
to say nothing oI faith, will not justify
gloomy iorebodings in that connection
