A few days ago the remains of man named
schilling were discovered in the furnace Of a
Cincinnati tannery. A day or two subse-
quently the young son of Andreas Egner con-
fessed that his father, one Rufcr and himself
first murdered the poor man by pounding
him on the head with an oaken stick and then
finished the undertaking by punching him with
pitchforks. To hide the evidence of what they
had done they threw the body into the engine
furnace. All were arrested, and the boy and
Rufer confessed their share in the deed. On
the 14th Mrs. Rufcr became insane and tried
to murder her little child. Egner, the elder,
sturdily denies hi completely and says both
the others are crazy.

A dispatch was received ut Washington on
the 10th from. Henry NJ. Cooper, Secretary OF
| the Republican State Central Committee OF
Arkansas, stating that considerable excite
ment existed throughout the State; that many
editors Of Republican papers had been ar.
rested without warrant, charged with treason
and imprisoned and refused bail; that the Re.
publicans were organizing for self-dcfcnse
and unanimously sustained the claims OF
Smith to the GOvernorship, and that the PEG.
pie did not sustain Garland. All this is EN-.
| phatically denied by the Associated Press dis.
patch from Little Rock on the 10th, which
| states that only one arrest had been made
that of Price, of the Republican, charged with
conspiring, and he had been DISCHARGED
the Judge holding that while the evidence
showed conspiracy it did not sufficiently
connect Price with it to hold him. The
Sheriff had been unable to find Smith OF
Wheeler. The most perfect quiet prevailed
throughout the State, and there was no talk
as reported in Washington dispatches, abou,
Smiths establishing a Government at Pine
Bluff, Helena, or elsewhere. If Smith had
any adhercnts they did not make themselves
known. Gov. Garland had sent commune
cation to the Legislature stating what action
he had taken, and asking an amendment to
| the law to enable him to offer a larpnr reward
than 500 for the arrest of Smith and Wheeler
