Murder on His Confederate, Muir

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 18.-The city
papers contain the confession of Fred-
erick Meyer, one of the parties charged
with the murder Of farmer Wobie, on
the Perrysville road on Wednesday
evening last. He says he was born in
Baden in the southern part Of Germa-
ny, and came to this country twenty
two years ago. He has been working
at trunk-making in St. Louis, Newark.
Chicago and other places. The
last place he worked at
his trade was in indianapolis.
He left there, he says, in October last
and met Murray in Toledo. He left
Cleveland two weeks ago and footed 1t
most of the way to Pittsburgh. arriv-
ing here last Wednesday week. On
the evening of the murder, Murray and
| walked out to the Perryville road and
stopped at the three-mile house. After
leaving it we met with Wohle, and
Murray said, "Let US stop this man

LET us HAVE PEACE.

Cur old friend Wise, Of the Mankato
ReTaetc, with whom we are happy to
generally agree, seems to think that in
the union Of the Democrats, Liberal
Republicans and AntiMonopolists, the
Democrats have not been treated fairly.
We beg leave to differ with him. The
entire State and Congressional tickets
voted for this fall,-Wilkin, Lochren,
Wilson. Cox and Waite, were each and
every mother S son Of them old line
Democrats. The Liberals and Anti
honopolists got nothing. We don't
complain Of that arrangement, but we
think it hardly fair to cry out that the
Democrats did not get their share
when they got all there was. 'Fair
play is a pretty thing" and men can
hardly be expected to furnish their
votes, receive nothing and then be
kicked for their pains. Mr.. Wise says
very emphalically that he wants nothing
more to do with the Anti -Monopolists.
That spirit would very soon set the Re-
publicans back to their old 10000 ma
jority, with SO majority N the Legisla-
ture.
No. Mr.. Wise. let US have mutual
liberation, : forbearance and justice.
Suppose you drive the Liberals and
Anti-Monopolists into third party.
wherein arc you benefitedi And you
know YOU can never make a man love
you or vote for you by kicking him. y

but such rtolerant utteranccs, as those

Republicans and used to taunt those
who really desire harmeny and union.

New ORLEANS, Nov. l8.-Mr. Arrayo,
who was seated yesterday as member

responsibility is too great for only one
Const rvative member, and if another is

30 and 40. One body was recovered to-

The SARATOGA COMBINATION.
Trunk Of Canada Says.-A Poor
Time to Raise Freight Rates.

Time to katSe kreignt Aates.
New YORK, Nov. 17.-Representativcs
of the Grand Trunk railway met in the
President S rooms at the Grand Central
depot yesterday to confer on the sub
ect of their interchange of traffic at
Buffalo and on kindred topics.
General Manager Joseph Hickson OF
the Grand Trunk said he had not come
to New Nork to make an arrangement
connected with the Saratoga compact.
The Grand Trunk railway company
would not enter into that contract.
That might be considered as
settled. The Grand Trunk was not
willing to have its rates controlled and
its business interfered with by board
of commissioners. The Grand Trunk is
in favor of maintaining reasonably high
rates and of working in harmony with
the combdDd trunk lines, but it is de-
cidedly opposed to excessive
rates and is not willing
to submit to anv insiduous distinctions
against it. The Grand Trunk can
manage its own staff, and attend to its
own business. 1t might make some
change in rates if the combined lines
adopted advanced rates, which might
be fixed by their commissioners, but,
with slack expectation and other
obstacles, it is poor time
to raise the rates of freight. Mr.. Hick-
son said that the Grand Trunk did not
pay drawbacks on freights as other
lines had done. and did not allow COM
missions on tickets, having its own
agents. except in cases where the agent
was paid by commissions instead OF
salary

How he Lived.

"Burleigh," the New York core spondent of the Boston Journal, says that those who visited Commodore Vanderbilt's rooms recently could have seen in the antecham5er, waiting for an audience, person about fifty years of age, undersized, light hair, quiet, and evidently we'll preserved. When his time came, he was ushered into the lit tie room where the Commodore holds court. "You don't me-" said the visi. tor, "but I know you very we'll. |" "Who are you ?" said the gruff railroad king. ''I am Eaton Stone" "What, not Stone, the great bareback rider ?" |" Yes, was the reply. "And what are you doing?" "I made little money in my business, and have retired to a farm near Paterson. I have taken with me my old horses that helped me make what little money have. I have built me small circus, and when my friends come to see me treat them to little entertainment. It is difficult to tell whether myself, my friends, or my horses enjoy the treat most" "But, Eaton, how have you preserved yourself so we'll ?" "During all my circus life I abstained from the use of all stimula- ting drinks and from tobacco. I found that, to be at the head of my calling, it was necessary for me to hold mynerves 1n perfect control, and this could not do with the use of stimulants. never used tobacco, and never took 8 drop of Intoxicating drink in my life. I am not as rich as you are, Commodore, but am quite as happy"

A Warming Voice.

Judge Edmonds, writing in Britta,e's Quarterly of Especial Providence" ," says :: When my friend Dr. John F. Gray was lad some fourteen or fifteen years old he was employed in Q cloth factory, where it was part of his duty to attend to the dyeing apparatus, which was in an adjoining building. His particular business was to tend the fire under the dye-kettle and to turn 8 crank whereby the cloth should revolve on 8 wheel through the dye. One day while thus employed he heard voice say to him, 'Get out of the building ; he answered, What shall I go out for I won't do it. After little while the voice again said to him, Go out of this building, I tell you Again he answered, sWhat shall I do that for :? I tell you I'm not going to do it. Again an interval of time passed, and the voice said more earnestly, Go out of this building, tell you, immediately Go out Go out ? sWe11,' he replied, won't quarrel about it, I'll go out ; and so he stopped his work and went out. He had to ascend few steps to get out, and he hardly reached the upper steps before the whole building fell, and crushed to pieces the kettle, furnace, and wheel where he had been at work"

How the Case Stands.

People who hoped that the Brooklyn scandal would gradually die out, the New York Tunes says, are evidently destined to be disappointed. There is to be an endless series of actions in the courts, and the next five years, at least, can scarcely suffice to bring it to 8 close. MT. Hilton has brought an &C., tion against MT. Beecher t. recover damages for the wrong alleged to have been done him Mir. Beecher brings an action against MT. Hilton; lady brings an action against Moulton :; MT. Bowen brings three actions against the Brook lyn Eagle; Moulton brings an action against Beecher; lady brings an ac- tion against the Duly Grop1ic; Hilton brings an action against the World and Tribune; a Grand Jury has indicted Hilton and Moulton. This is all that we can remember at the present mo. ment, but very likely we have left out half dozen actions,

LOckjaW.

A young man named Samuel Eicholtz died at his lodgings in Washington from lockjaw. About week ago he ran rusty nail into one of his feet, the wound giving him much pain for several days. The pain ceased, and he thought he had quite recovered. He walked out into the garden adjoining his lodgings, gathered some flowers, and carried them to his house. While on his way back he suddenly felt the cords of the back of his neck commence drawing his head backward, and he be- came aware that his jaws were becoming set. He remarked in laughing way,
 but too true, that he was getting the tockjaw. His relatives made light of The remark, and supper was announced shortly after, but when MT. Eicholtz tried to drink some tea from saucer he found he could not get the saucer between his teeth, and even then it was thought he was only suffering from the effects of cold. However, they at length came to the sad conclusion as to the nature of his disease, as his jaws were set to open no more. The nearest physician was sent for, but the case was hopeless one, as spasms had all ready set in, and they continued more frequent and severe, until they were ineessant, when death stepped in and relieved the poor man from the most horrible suferings, not excepting hy- drophobia, on earth. Deceased was only thirty years of age, and had been married but few weeks. -

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms.

The new terms offered by the Mason & Hamlin Organ Company, for the sale of their celebrated instruments, create dissatisfaction with many dealers, who declare that they will greatly iniure the business of selling other organs, espe- cialy by peddlers. By these terms a person is allowed to hire an organ, paying only 8 reasonable rent for it. having the privilege, of course, of re- turning it at any time after six months, or of purchasing it at any time. If the purchase is completed within a year, the whole cost of the organ is only five to ten per cent. more than if all cash had been paid at the beginning.
 Dealers say this is much too small 8 difference for the accommodation in time, and privilege of returning, given.
 The Mason & Hamlin Company are determined to try the experiment thor oughly at least, being confident that their organs will prove so attractive and satisfactory in use that scarcely any will ever be returned to them. Circulars with full particulars can be obtained by addressing them in Boston, New York, or Chicage.-Cons.

A French Newspaper Office.

A Paris correspondent says in de- scribing the office of the Figaro !: "Opening upon the grand gallery that runs around the Spanish patio, or rotunda, are the rooms or halls that lead to the rooms of the various en- ployes. These are all furnished in magnificent style, with rosewood fur niture, rich carpets, tapestry, bronzes and marble statues. Some rooms ac- commodate single writer, others two or three. The principal editor, De Villemessant, occupies small room on the ground floor, to the right of the principal entrance. There are also righly furnished council-room, in which all the literary force meets once each month bedrooms, bathrooms, and breakfast and dining rooms-for all of the literary force of the paper, save the editor-in-chief, eats, sleeps, and lives iu the building. There is also one very large room whose sides are hung with masks and glittering foils. Each day at two o'clock all the employees assem- ble in this room and receive lessons in fencing from an expert. This is ebli- gatory on each one, for the reason that each individual is expected to hold himself in readiness to call or be called to the field of honor at moments no- tice. Any hesitation in such case would secure the instant dismissal of the individual involved.

Ipecac, aloes. calo- mel, blistering, the lancet. and (worse than alD, medicated rum, have given place to new remedy, which bids fair to become the universal medicine of mankind. Vinegar Bitters is that reme- dy. It is destined to take precedence of all other curatives now before the world.

Hints About Dresses.

Some model dresses from Worth's, says fashion journal, show contrasts of color; for instance, dark, smoke gray silk is trimmed with cardinal fa- cings, white silk for evening has pale blue garniture, and black silk house dress has bands and pleatings of light blue silk. All have over-skirts and basques, with skirts that merely touch the floor without sweeping the basques are of fanciful design, as Worth re- serves plain round cuirasses for woolen suits, or else for those historic cos tunes that are now worn as full dress. The dark smoke. silk has a deep side pleating on the skirt front, to which is added a second pleating behind, and the heading is wide puff of straight silk, with two huted rufaes on each side of it lined with cardinal red silk, which shows as a piping on the edges. The with bows down the middle, and loops and straight ends behind. This point ed apron is made of two breadths of silk, with bias band (piped with red) all around them and up the middle of the front, which is held together by three long-looped cardinal bows. The OdOh 10 oAWPAJ OWO oU1oASno "ANon0 about half 8 yard wide, held across in two puffed loops, with great cardinal loops appearing under the puffs. This gives the large bouffant back now com ing back to favor, and is the prettiest overskirt of the season. The basque has cardinal revers in the seams, and an English collar showing cardinal fac ings in the front points, while inside of this collar is not only a box-pleated ruche, but also a side-pleated one of the silk, also frill of white lisse. This trims the neck almost as voluminously as in the days of Queen Elizabeth. The sleeves have large puff, and two side pleatings like the skirt trimming,
 Instead of jet trimmings garniture of pale blue faille is shown on black silk dress for dinners, dressy wear at home, etc. Eight pleated narrow rufdes alternately of blue and black trim the front to the knee. The over-skirt laps in front, is trimmed with blue silk bands, and opens below to show the pleated founces. A shell or jabot rufde of both colors extends up the sides, and the back has draped over-skirt falling over fan-pleated demi-train. The basque has elaborate jabots and revers of blue,
