Communism in America.
RULE & RICKs,
Knoxville, Tenn.

In Europe, the outburst of rebellion
against society, order and the rights OF
person and property occurred in Paris. In
America, the most formidable threat of a
similar outburst has been made In Chicago.
For communism in France there Is some
excuse. In that country, and the old world
generally, the title TO real estate has rob.
berry for its cornerstone, With us the ORR
ginal title goes back 10 purchase from the
Government, and the ownership rest upon
Justice. The same distinction obtains with
hardly less force Ia regard 70 personal prop
cry. The poor are hedged about by an
elaborate system of repression. An &C.
casional ontburst Of reaciiOnary force is
equitable as between classes. But in the
United states We have no poor class, prop
erly speaking. The son of the veriest pau
per may become millionaire. The rich
faulty of one generation is often the poor
fam lly OF the next. There is no possible
exehse for communistic violence in this
cOuntI y, and the very first overt act IN
keepink with the above cited threat should

MarYViIle Items.

Last Tuesday, little boy the son of
Capt. E. Goddard, was discovered to have
a needle in his thigh. DR.. Blankinship
was called in and found it completely
buried in the flesh and near the bone. 1t
required painful operation with knife
and forceps to extract it.
On the same day some boys were in the
fields near town, and one of Jacob Henry's
boys was digging some roots of some kind,
when the son of s. M. Wells fired n gun,
perhaps at game of some kind, and the ball
took off the end of Henry's thumb, and
wounded his forefnger. No bones were
broken. w.

sUxDAY-scuooL CELEBRATION.
a Pleasant Evening AT she second Presby
terian Church.


The night of Dec 80, the I'd Presbyterian
Church was well filled with the parents,
friends and relatives of the many Sunday
school scholars attending this Church to
witness the Christmas exercises heretofore
announced to take place. The Sabbath
school scholars as well as the teachers and
officers of the school were outin full force,
and bright eyes and pleasant faces denoted
the interest they manifested in the exer-
cises of the occasion. The programme Sc
lected for the evening was an excellent
one, consisting of exercises by the differ
ent classes, recitations and singing. After
short address from the Superintendent,
Mr.. w. p. Washburn, the following
PROGRAMME OF THE EVENING
was taken up and carried out with credi t
to all parties engaged as well as to the in
terest and benefit of the large audience
present:

Recitation-Annie Rice.
SINGING" DISMISSAL
The Rotations by Misses Birdie Clark,
Maud Hoxsie, Della Armstrong and Annie
Rice were excellent, the speakers seeming
to enter feelingly into the spirit of the
characters they assumed.
The singing was excellent, and especial
ly so the solo by Miss Lizzie Richards.
The splendid voice of Miss Annie Rice
could be easily distinguished from the rest
in the quartette, although all did well.
The exercises of Mr.. Atwell's class of juve-
niles were splendid showing the care he
bestowed upon the religious training of
those under his charge. All of his class
have taken temperance pledge, and four
of them recited some Scriptural quotations
on the subject. They all wear q star and
badge of red, white and blue, an emblem
of the Order. After the singing of the last
song, the classes were dismissed one at q
time, when each child was supplied with O
paper sack full of confeetioneries as they
filed out of the door.
Before Diminishing the school, the Super
intendent gave the children some good adj
vice.
Altogether, the occasion was very
pleasant one and will long be remembered
by the little folks, as we'll as by the pa
rents of the children and the friends of the
Church.

wife Murder and Cremation,

ST. LOUIS, November 13.-Tho Water
loo, Monroe county, Illinois, Times Of to-
day has an account ot the arrest and
preliminary examination Of Barney Nc
MNhoD, q farmer living three miles from
Burksville, Monroe county, for the muir
der oi bis wife on the 9th OF last August
and the subsequent burning Of ber body.
1t appears that McMahon and his vile
lived unhsppily, frequent quarrels occur
ing between them, and his children by q
former wife treating her very badly. Mira.
McMshon had left home several times
under harsh treatment, but had always
been persuaded to return by her husband.
On August 9Th Mcmahon sent his chill
dren to visit friends, and oa their return
next day they were told that their mother
had started Tor Burksville, since when
she had not been seen or heard OF. On
the day OF the alleged disappearance Of
the woman, ,IMcMahon fred log heap
some distance from the house and kept it
burning two weeks. Identified terrible
stencil, and when asked the cause
McMahon said he was burning chickens
that died Of cholera. Suspicious having
recently been aroused that Mrs. McMshOn
had been fOully dealt with, Samuel Pro-
tine, independent detective, Of 81. Louis,
was employed 10 work up the case Pro-
tine and Prosecuting Attorney Reiss ar
rived here to day, and the Erening DiI-
patch gives quite lengthy account ol the
affair derived from them.
After McMshon's log heap was burned
down the ground was plowed over, but
on examination by Detective Protine, q
few days ago, several hair pins, small but.
tons and bones, which looked like finger
bones and part Of an upper Jaw bone,
with teeth attached, were found. This
led 10 the arrest Of Mcmahon and the
evidence adduced at the preliminary ex.
animation, and the improbable and con-
Trajectory statements made by McMahon
and his children, led to his being held In
one thousand dollars bond to answer the
charge Of manslaughier. Great excite
ment exists in the neighborhood. Nc
Mshon is we'll advanced in lilo, and has
grown children.
