young lady school teacher who had
occasion to go to her school house
early hour in the morning to write
copies for her pupils, was, while
writing, caught by three men, who
in turn outraged her, cut her tongue
out of her head to prevent her telling,
and left her lying on the floor. She
dragged herself to the black board to
write the affair out upon it, and was
found dead by the pupils. BY means
of the information on the black board
vigorous pursuit was instituted, and
all three of the miscreants captured
before they reached their homes,

scene of outrage

DURING a thunderstorm on Tues
day Miss Lizzie Clapp, the telegraph
operator at Readville station, on the
Boston and Providence Railroad, was
instantly killed at about four o'clock.
She had disconnected the wire and
was standing near the instrument in
conversation with her sister, lady
visitor and Mr.. Davis, the depot
master. The ball of fire struck the
telegraph wire some distance from
the station and running along it
struck Miss Clapp on the neck. She
uttered scream before she died.
Her gold necklace and earrings were
broken and melted. She was about
eighteen years of age.

JUDGING BY APPEARANCE TO
THEIR COST.


A well,known conductor on the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
road went to the depot one morning
recently to take his train, as usual,
and an officer of the road and an of
ficer Of the law arrested him. On
his shirt front was 81, 200 diamond
pin, and in his pocket were valua>
BILE gold watch and chain. In his
trunks the officers found $4,000 in
Government bonds. An Eastern
bank was telesraphed to, and the
response was that bail could be fur
nished in $4,000, if necessary, as
that was the amount deposited to the
conductors credit here. This settled,
it was next the conductors turn. A
lawyer was called, and he politely
informed the officers that the dia-
mond pin they had illegally taken
had been worn by the conductor
twenty years; the watch was carried
by him years before he went into the
employ OF the company; that the
United States Government bonds
they had taken were the property of
his wife, as the proceeds of her share
in an estate as heir, and so was the
money in bank, and that the best
thing the company could do would
be to return what they had stolen
and with it $4,000, and no further
questions would be asked. The
company accepted the attorneys
terms.

DIGGING THE GRAVE OF The RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY.

THERE is a strong suspicion in
Republican quarters that Grant is
seeking to do the Republican party
all the harm he can in revenge for
its reputation not only of his third
term, aspirations, but for the defeat
of every candidate for the Presiden>
tial nomination who was known to
be affiliated with him. 1t is very
certain, at least, that if he had de-
Iiberately set out to make his Admin
istration odious to the country, he
could not have gone to work more
effectually for that purpose.--St.
Paul Pioneer Press
Paragraphs like the above are be-
coming very frequent in Republican
Journals. Grant has undoubtedly
done a great deal to ruin the Repub-
lican party, but he did the most of
the work when his popularity with
that organization was at its height,
and he has been zealonsly assisted in
it by the very men who are now la
boring the most vigorously for the
election of Hayes.-N Y. San.
Truly said Grant is undoubted-
ly digging the grave of the corrupt
Republican party, aud in November
the Democratic Party will bury ii
too deep for resurrection. For six
teen years it has cursed the country
and plundered the people, and now
like a venomous reptile it is dying
from the bite of its own destructive
poison.
