CINCINNATI, Nov. "a most brutal
and mysterious murder was committed
at the tannery of Henry Freberg on Liv.
ingstone street, some time between 10
O'Clock last night and daylight this
morning. A workman went to the tan.
merry, and looking in boiler furnace,
observed upon the half-consumed fuel
the body Of man. The arms and legs
were burned off. Herman Schilling, a
workman at the tannery who slept there
at night, was missing. The body was
extricated and identified as that of Schil.
ling. In the stable were signs of des-
perate encounter, and bloody pitch
fork lay on the ground and blood stains
formed trail to the furnace in the tan.
merry. Within the Enclosure in which
the stable was located, three fierce mas
stiffs were running loose. From this
and other circumstances it was inferred
that the murderer must be perfectly
familiar with the place as we'll as with
the habits Of the murdered man. Sus.
picion rests on three men-Andrew Egg
ner, Fred. Egner and his son George
discharged from the employ of the tam
merry. Persons testify to hearing threats
on Schilling's life from all three of these
men. who were discharged yesterday
evening, and were familiar with the
premises. Egner and son kept liquor
saloon and coopers shop next to the
tannery, and were often in and out of the
latter place. Early last August seduced
daughter Of Egner died in childbirth, at
the hospital. Egner and son charged
Schilling with her seduction, went into
the tannery and beat him severely with
cooper's slaves. For this they were
fined in the Police Court heavily and
bound over to keep the peace for one
year. Rufer, discharged tanner, was
in the employ Of Egner last August. He
denies any enmity against Schilling, but
says Egner's son threatened Schilling's
life, and that several coopers working
for Egner had said Schilling ought to be
hung and burnt. Traces of blood have
no1 been found on their clothing, ex.
cept on Rulers. The supposition is,
these men entered the stable while Schil.
ling was asleep, beat him with clubs and
pitchfork, and attempted to burn him.
The excitement is very great.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. = Lieutenant
General Sheridan, in his annual report,
touches slightly upon General Custar's
Black Hills expedition, which he pro.
nounced q successful reconnaissance.
The country OF the Black Hills was
found to be much better than expected,
with plenty good timber and considerable
good soil at high attitudes, and an abun.
dant supply of good water and grass.
Some gold was found near Harvey Peak,
but of its abundance there is no reliable
information. Sufficient time could not
be given by such an expedition, as that of
General Custar's to prospect and deter.
mine its quantity. General Sheridan
again recommended the establishment OF
a large military post in the Black Hills
country.
