Murder Most Foul.


Perhaps the most shocking MUIR
der, in all it's details, ever perpetra-
ted, occurred in Cincinnati on Satur-
day night week. Herman Schiillng,
voung German, twenty-six years OF
aoe was the victim, and Andreas Eg-
ner Frederick Egner, his son, and
George Rufer were the murderers.
Tho scene of this terrible crime was
the tannery of Henry Freiberg, on
Livingston street, and it took place
between 10 and IL o'clock at night.
tt occurred in a stable where Schil-
ling had gone to look after the horse
before going to bed. The weapon
with which the unfortunate man was
killed was a six-pronged pitchfork,
which was found in the stable cover
ed with blood and hair. And here
the most horrible part of the story
commences. From the stable the
body was dragged through the vat
yard and into the boiler room. The
Gazette furnishes the particulars of
this part of the thrilling horror, as
follows:
The boilers are heated by a pecu-
liar furnace adapted for burning wet
tanbark and sawdust, which is grad
ually dried, and the burning gas
from which passes by fue into the
fiues of the boiler. Into this 1ue
small door opens for the purpose of
cleaning. A mans body would hard
ly pass through it; but nevertheless,
into this opening the dead mans
body was forced down into the aue,
and left to roast and be burned up,
thus destroying the chief point in
evidence-that of the murdered
mans body.
THE CREMATION NOT PERFECT.
But this was not to be. The fire
had gone down so low that it failed to
do the perfect work; and although it
was still burning when discovered
about halfpast 8 o'clock Sunday
morning, and the body burned to a
crisp-some portions, bone and all,
being totally destroyed and missing
enough of the abdominal viscera
and the skull and brain were left to
tell the horrible tale. Had it been
on any other night except Saturday,
on which night the fires are only
kept up sufficiently to keep the wet
tanbark and boiler warm, every YES
tige of the murdered mans body
would have been lost.
Suspicion fastened upon the par
ties above named, and they were ar
rested on Sunday. While the matter
was undergoing judicial investiga-
tion before the Coroner, young Egner
made a confession, thus fixing be-
yond doubt the crime upon his father
and Rufer, and they were according
ly held for the murder.
The excuse for this terrible crime
is the supposed seduction of daugh-
ter of Egner by Schilling.

In the published proceedings of
the annual Convention of the Cen
trail Ohio Teachers Association,
held in Columbus at the close of the
week, we are gratified to notice that
"Thoroughness in School Work" re-
ceived due attention in the discus
sions of that respectable body. Dur
ing the consideration of this topic,
the learned President Tappan, of
Kenyon College, remarked that for
lack of thoroughness many thou
sands of the teachers of Ohio had
better be at other business, even if
their school houses should be left
closed. This prevalent lack of
proper professional training should
induce to a just estimate of the value
to any community of really
thorough, competent and successful
teacher. just such an instructor
Professor J. M. Wood of Atwood
Institute, located at Albany in this
county, has the deserved reputation
of being; and we are therefore not
at all surprised to learn Of the grow
ing prosperity and success of At
wood Institute. The rapidly increas-
ing number of students has led the
Professor to associate his brother,
j. Perry Wood, highly efficient
teacher with him in the conduct of
the school, the next session of WHICH
commences on Monday, November
10Th. We have no hesitency in as
suring the friends of pupils that the
latter will receive as thorough drill
ling in the branches of learning there
taught as in any collegiate establish
ment in Ohio. The necessary incl
dental expenses of attending "At-
wood" are quite moderate. Particu-
lars can be learned by addressing
