FAX COLLECTORs-MORE TROUBLE.

Th6sTax Collector of Livingston parish, w.
II. Hiestand was some days ago removed by
Gov. Kellogg for dereliction of duty and fail
ure to make his settlements, and another man
was appointed in his place. The removal

authorities wished to obtain possession of
Hiestands books. Mr.. Chas. Hill, of the Audi
tors Office, was dispatched to the parish.
Hiestand stated that his books had been des-
troyed, bat investigation revealed that he had
concealed them, and further, that he had
spent the money received by him ss fast as
collected.
The result of the visit of Mr.. Hill will be
criminal proceedings against Hiestand.

The Administration has mad e an ostenta-

the requisition of Ames of Mississippi, as
proof Of its change of Southern policy. 1t is
telegraphed that Attorney General Pterrepont
even goes SO far as to claim the election of
Wells to Congress as an Administration tri-
umph-Wells having protested against Ames's
call for troops and certified that none were
needed. But the insincerity of this dispatch
is shown in the treatment of Pease, Republi
can Postmaster at Vicksburg. Pease joined
Wells in advising against the sending of
troops, and as soon as the election was over

No cause has been assigned, and it can only
be attributed to his opposition to Ames ana
to the policy of the late Attorney General
Williams. Pease was lately Radical Senator
in Congress from Mississippi and his capaci-

Storms, the postmaster at Holly Springs, has
also been removed. He. too, is a Republican
who opposed Ames's call for troops, and there
can be no doubt that he was removed for that
sole offense These removals show that Gen.
Grant is still at heart in favor of the Southern
policy of Attorney General Williams, apd

A COMPANY To GET UP WEDDINGS There
is talk OF establishing a new company in

new company will get up weddings of all

marriages to nuptials fit for a mill onaire.

Reuinis are spoken of as the probable locale
for this new enterprise. chapel and a
branch of the mayoralty will be installed
therein, so that the civil and religious mar
riages can take place under the same roof. A
superb restaurant and o spacious ballroom
for the ensuing festivities will also form part
of the establishment. Carriages, lawyers,
priests, Shippers nay. even the wedding
finery, will be furnished by this enterprising
firm. If only they add a marriage agency
such as seems to thrive in several parts of
Paris, to their matrimonial facilities, says a
Paris correspondent, the whole affair will be
perfect, only lacking an American branch for
divorces to carry out the idea to its fullest

him being in Chicago, Friday, August
9th. On that day the cashier of the

graphed to a Chicago bank for $4,000.

from the two secured $4,000. He then
left and has not been heard from since,

HIM in all directions. The impression

Death by the Riven Bolt.

The death by lightning Of NJ. S.
Sjoberg, who resided one mile north of
Willmar, and who was brother CT H. S.
Sjoberg, present deputy Auditor Of the
county. and candidate on the Republican
ticket for the same place this fall, has
been already mentioned. In the Will
mar Republican Of the 10th, we find the
following particulars of the unfortunate
occurrences:
After the storm had commenced it ap-
pears that Mr.. Sioberg started from his
house to 60 to pasture, near by. where
his mother was, in order to assist her in
getting to the house. Having reached
his mother, they started for the house,
and when nearing it, it became necessary
to get over or through fence, Mrs.
Sjoberg preferring to crawl through,
while Mr.. Sjoberg attempted to get over
it. While thus in the act ofgetting over
the fence, the bolt of lightning
came, instantly killing Mr.. Sjoberg,
and leaving Mrs. Sjoberg PROSTATE on
the ground, in an UNCONSCIOUS condition.
The bolt, it is thought, struck Mr..
Sjoberg's head, the current passing
lengthwise of his person, destroying his
hat, and burning portion Of his cloth
ing. When Mrs. Sjoberg became con.
scious, and ,beheld the heart.rending
spectacle before her, she went to the
nearest neighbor for assistance, after
which Mr.. Sjoberg was carried to the
house, and everything was done to re.
store him to life. but all in vain.
Mr.. Sjoberg was an unmarried man, 81
years Of age, and had resided here since
1871. He was an industrious, hard
working man; was man of temperance
habits, and was universally respected by
the community. He was the pet of the
household, and the staff upon which his
aged father and mother. leaned in their
declining years. The grief consequent
on mis- untimely death, knows no bounds.

A Boys Revenge for n Whippine.

Ludwig c. Miller, wealthy German
farmer residing six miles west of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, was shot and instantly killed
on the night Of the 10th inst. by George
Burkhardt, a German boy Is years of
age, who is nephew of Miller's wife, and
has lived in Mitler's family, for five
years. The boy denied all knowledge of
the murder at the inquest, but subse-
quently made q full confession of the
horrible crime to John Harris, Jr, re-
porter Of the Ann Arbor Courier. In
his conversation with the reporter he
said Miller was in the habit Of whipping
him, and he took this means for revenge.
He went to bed in the evening but did
not 60 to sleep. After the family had all
retired and were fast asleep, he arose,
dressed himself and went down stairs and
out in the yard, where he had a double.
barre}led gun secreted, which he got and
went to Miller's room, who was
fast asleep. at the back
part Of the bed, while his wife was
sleeping on the front side. Mrs. Miller's
head was little lower down than her
husbands. and he was high upon the pill
low. The boy put the gun to his shout
der, took aim at Miller's breast, and
fired both barrels, but only the caps ex-
ploded. The gun had been out doors
during rain storm. the powder had be-
come dampened, and the death-dealing
instrument would not 60 off. The 10y

drawer, where the powder was kept.
He then threw out the old loads, put in
two new charges, and was ready for
second attempt. This time there was no
failure and the deed was quickly done -

to it's maker, and not a person in the
house was any the wiser. When Mrs.
Miller awoke, she supposed her husband
had been struck by lightning, and the
boy went allover the neighborhood tell.

Sheriff Fleming and taken to the county
Jail at Ann Arbor. He had an examina-

Miller was IS years Of age. He leaves a

Ar uncomfortable Mania for KILLING
Washington Clerks

Washington Clerks.
Washington Correspondence Chicago Inter-
ocean,
The girl Mary Harris, who, it will be
remembered, shot and killed young Bur.
roughs, brother Of Chancellor Bur.
roughs, Of Chicago University, here few
years ago, is back in the city trying to
get place in one Of the departments.
Her history has been a most singular
one, and it is now thought insanity has
been the cause of some peculiar freaks, if
they can be described by 50 mild term,
Of which she has been guilty.
She was a milliner in Chicago,
and somehow she got an idea that
Burroughs, who was in the treasury de-
partment here, was intending to marry
her. They correspondent and frequently
expressions Of affection passed between
them: Burroughs friends claim it was
only the affection of friendship, and it
seemed no more, for he married young
lady here. without any apparent desire
to conceal his relations with Mary Har-
ris. A few weeks after his marriage she
came to Washington, and one afternoon
shot him deal as he sat at his desk in the
treasury. She was tried and acquitted
on the ''emotional insanity plea. After.
ward she got position, through people
of influence who had befriended
her in the Patent Office, and was employ.
ed tracing drawings Of models. But
here her passion overcame her, and she
attempted to murder one ofthe draughts
men, who censured her for imperfect
work. After this she went to Richmond.
Va. where she has been for several years
drcssmaking, but has now come back to
Washington with the expectation Of get
ting government employment here. No
one ever proved anything against her
woman'y purity, but since her renccun-
ter with the Patent Office draughtsman,
she has been carefully avoided by gov.
eminent officials.
