Shooting Of Prisoners by CarIists.
ST. LOUIS.
Horrible Murder.

ST. LoUI>, September S-The Globe
has communication from DogulaChc
Colorado, which states that the bodies of
five men were found on August 18th,
near the forks Of GuniSon river, in San
Luis park. These bodies proved 10 be-
the remains of II party of miners who
started from southern Utah across the
mountains to the san Juan mines, in
Colorado, and were reported last month
by one of their companions named
Packer to have undergone terrible hard
ships in the mountains. Finally they
became nearly crazy from hunger, and
chose lots to see who should be- shot to
furnish food for the remainder. This
story was published at the time in terri
torial and other papers. 1t now proves
that Packer murdered these men by
chopping their heads of with hatchet,
robbed them of their money and other
property, and told the story Of cannabal-
ism to hide tn crime. He was arrested,
however and is now in Jail. The names
of the parties murdered are Roel Swan,
from Missouri; George Noon, from Cali
fornia; Shannon W. Bell, supposed to BE-
from Ohio; james Humphrey, supposed
to be from Philadclphia and Frank
Miller, German.

The Republican State Central Com
mittee met here to-day and after deClar-
ing that the Republican party stands
pledged to support any movement in
this State looking to the peace, prosperity
and good government for all; and as
many independent Democrats and many
Republicans have already united and put
a non-partisun State ticket in the field,
without interference with National or
local questions, they adopted resolutions
calling State Convention for Septem-
bcr 2$d at Jefferson City, to rcstfirm the
principles of the party and perpetuate in
organization. and recommend 70 the
Republicans OF the State that no State
nomination be made, but leave the party
free to support such ticket As shall, in
their Judgment, bc-t secure economy AMI
good government in Missouri.

Misstatemeut Corrected.

CHICAGO, Sept. S.-Albert Keys, Pres
ident of the Northwestern Z. X. CO., has
addressed letter tc the Wisconsin Com
missioners with view 10 correcting 3
misstatement recently made by Governor
Taylor at Grangers picnic, giving the
Commissioners Is his authority, that
compliance with the Poor law, the busi-
ness remaining the same as last year,
would not cost the Northwestern Com
pany more than 5 per cent of its gross
earnings. Mr.. Keys asserts that under
would lose % per cent of its gross earn

siOners may be satisfied Of the truth OF
his statement, he invites them to inspect

Second Annual Interstate Indus.
trial Exposition.
The second annual Interstate Indus
trial Exposition Of Chicago, opens here
tomorrow night, and the number,
variety, and character of the articles al
ready in position give the assurance that
it will not only far exceed the initial
Exposition in every particular, but that
il will be one of the most attractive ever
held in this country. The immense
building has been greatly improved in
many respects, and the arrangement of
the different departments is much better
than last year. A new wing has been
added to the building, and arranged ex-
cluSiyely and especially for an art gal
lery, and in this there is now the largest
and beyond question one of the finest
collections of oil paintings ever exhibited
in this country, comprising, as it does,
over six hundred pictures by the most
eminent painters of America and Europe,
They have been obtained for the EXpoSi-
ton from all parts Of the country, and
were selected by well known cOnnoiseur
in the art. A private view of this coll
lection was given this evening 10 the
representatives of the press and stock
holders in the Exposition, and there
was unanimous expression from those
present of surprise and pleasure ut the
magnificent display. Rare judgment has
been exercised in the arrangement Of the
pictures, nearly every one occupying
position best calculated to present its pc
culiar beauties To the best advantage.
There will probably be some further adj
ditions To the collection. but ~ il j., 1t
cannot fail to prove the great feature Of
the Exposition.
