A BAR-ROOM TRAGEDY.
A Paeous Scene-A Boy Pleading for His
Fathers Life.

A PteouS Scene-A Boy Pleading for His
Fathers Life.
On Monday evening, at half-past seven
o'clock, Ham Briggs and his brother-in-
law, Jim Beatie, went into the saloon of
their brother-in-law, Ben. Chambers,
Briggs called for a drink, which was
given him. Briggs asked Chambers to
take drink, which Chambers refused to
do. This made Briggs mad. He threw
down the bottle and leaned against the
bar. Chambers went into the back room
and got his shotgun, raised it and fired
at Briggs. A man standing beside Briggs
saw Chambers taking aim, and had
enough presence of mind to step back as
the gun was leveled. He was just in
time. A crashing report followed, part
of the charge striking Briggs in the side,
and part striking Beatie, who was near
Beatie ran out of the saloon to the saloon
ofC. J. Son, about fifty yards distant, and
jumped through the glass door, cutting
his head badly. He died as he struck
the floor. The last words he said were,
as he ran toward the saloon, ~ believe
am shot," Briggs had fallen in his tracks
from the effect of the shot, Chambers
approached him, struck him with his
gun, jumped ON him and stabbed him
thirteen times. Briggs little son Willie
was with him, and tried hard to stop
Chambers from stabbing his father.
Chambers chased him around and threat
ened to kill hiA. Willie ran out into
the street crying ale has killed my
father! he has killed my father l tried
hard to get him away Oh, my poor
fatherW Willie went in, leaned over
the body, counted the wounds and cried
out for his father to speak to him. Cham
bers was arrested and taken to Jail.

The Cincinnati Commercial. a thick.and

The Cincinnati Commercial. thick-and
thin supporter of the Republican Admin
istration-which would support GRANT
for a third term, if nominated, as against
any Observation-Disclosures feels inn
PEELED to make the following admission
in regard to its party's policy, which is
proper here to put on record. In few
weeks or months it will deny all. The
following is what it says;
ut is now fifteen years that we have
been subject to the burdens of this enor-
nous Republican tariff. originally impo-
sed in stress of war, while the country
was struggling with an armed rebellion,
and in absolute need fmany hundreds
Of millions per annum to keep its head
above water. This tariff, originally in
stituted in such an extraordinary emer-
gency, has been perpetuated for more
than ten years since the restoration of
peace 1t has been perpetuated by the
Republican party, under the influence
mainly of two causes first, an illtormed
prejudice against direct taxation, and an
unreasoning fear that the people would
not stand a great reduction of the tariff
on imported goods, with the imposition
in its stead of direct taxation like the tax
upon incomes; second, the influence
and ascendency of the powerful rings of
manufacturers and capitalists have been
steadily and successfully exerted to keep
up this enormous burden upon the peo,
Pile, so that accumulated capital night
escape the income tax, and rich manu-
facturers might continue to enjoy the
premium in the shape Of high prices
which the tariff enabled them to levy
upon consumers"
tits proper to say that the Commercial is
in favor of The continuance in power OF
those whom it so well exposes in the
article quoted.
