third floor, but BY this time-and it was
but few minutes subsequent to their
entrance-the workmen rallied with
knives and stones and drove the MUIR
derers down into the street. Albert, the
eldest Thilhorn, had revolver in each
hand; the other two one each. At the
foot of the stairs they shot at workman
named Frederick Slutz and struck him,
but his wound was only scalp.scrape.
Then ensued thrilling scene.
The workmen in the factory, to the
number of about thirty, maddened at the
spectacle of the dead Fischer and the
dying Albers, seized long knives used in
their business and charged the murderous
trio. On they drove them, along River
street, between the Morris and Essex
Canal and the Passaic River, the Thil-
horns turning every now and then in
their fight to FIRE vouey into the crowd
of pursuers. The latter were too far be-
hind to be hurt. Finally the murderers
were forced into a corner--the fence
against Balback's place and great bank
Of oyster shells, together with the ap-
preaching workmen forming an enclosure
from which there was no escape except
by the river. The brothers waited till
the workmen were nearly upon them,
and then were driven into the river. AS
he was going overheard, Charley, the
Youngest levelled and fired his revolver
at John Weiss. The ball missed Weiss.
Not so the knife of Weiss, which nearly
severed Charley's right hand. The two
were then literally stoned to death in the
water. Up to five o'clock the only body
found was that of Charles Thilhorn. 1t
presented a ghastly spectacle, an ugly
wound on the head, showing that he had
been stoned as we'll as killed. The body
was taken to Complains morgue. 1t lay
there not far from that of the murdered
white policeman Elsden-the murdered
almost alongside his murderer. 1t was a
ghastly, horrible sight. Fischer's body
was taken to his late home. Dickerson
was removed to st. MichaePs hospital,
where he died during the evening. John
Albers also died, so that the following is
the list of dead and wounded: Benjamin
Elsden, Augustus Dickerson, Charles
Fischer, John Albers and the three Tbil-
horns, dead John Cahill and Frederick
Slutz, wounded.
The Thilhorns were natives of Magde-
burg, Prussia, and were about from
thirty-fve to forty years of age. They
would probably have been lynched had
they not met the fate described, so bitter
and intense was the feeling against them.
During the excitement, Mr.. Thomas
w. Dawson, Sr., owner Of the factories,
had his pocket picked of some 81, 200 in
checks by some sneak thief. He has
stopped payment of them at the various
banks.
Officer Elsden leaves wife and large
family. He had been but about two
months on the force, having previously
been out of employment for about year.
Fischer was about fifty-6ve years Of
age. he also leaves large family.
Dickerson leaves a wife and baby.
Albers was married about year. His
widow will soon be mother, if she sur
wives yesterdays terrible blow. The
Thilhorns leave no relatives except a
sister.

Keys in the menagerie in that city, spoke
thus: "Dem children got too much

Avoid all boasting and exaggeration,

you avoid vulgarities, you will increase
the enjoyment of life, and grow IN the

AN HONEST CoNvIcr.--At Des
Moines, Iowa, a few months ago, in a
momentof passion, young man of up
right character, named Morris Spangler,
killed mate with whom he had hitherto
been on friendly terms. 1t was believed
there were e1tenuating circumstances
which would prevent verdict against
him, but he was convicted, and sentenced
to the penitentiary for two years: He
asked leave of the sheriff to visit his
parents, who lived few miles from the
city, promising to return so as to 60 with
the other prisoners on the day when they
were to be removed. The sheriff accept.
ed his promise. He went home, and
bade all his friends and schoolmates fare
we'll, leaving with them various keep
sakes, gathered together his school books
and returned promptly, and was con-
veyed to prison. He took his books,
saving he should make man of himself
while he was there.

Mix equal parts each. In plain English,
says the Baltimore Sun, it consists OF
equal parts of tincture of opium, red

summer complaint, diarrhea, cramps in

Successful Farming.

The first aim and purpose of every
business man, whether he is a farmer or
a merchant, is to make money. There
may be, of course, other motives connec-
ted with this, but undoubtedly the lead
ing object and incentive to action is
money. This may seem like taking a
low or sordid view of the subject, but if
rightly considered, it is not. The law Of
our nature that impels every man to
make his business source of gain, is
unquestionably sound and wise, and all
that remains for us is to regulate our
conduct in harmony with that law.
The man who pursues farming for any
other purpose than to make it pay, is
simply an exception to a general rule,
and his success or failure is of little con-
sequence to the world. But the intelli-
gent farmer who perceives that under all
the doubts and difficulties of his voca-
ton, there still remains clear margin
of profit, who steadily works out his con-
viction to tangible result, and the con.
uueror's final success, proves his good
sense as we'll as his capacity, and by de
yeloping the possibilities of his business
sheds light upon it that gives new
value, not only to his own farm, but to
every farm in the county.
The world never grudges to such a
man the honest fruits of his labor, for his
example is public heritage beyond
price. He shows that the occupation
which feeds the human race is able to
renumerate those who engage in it.; that
the successful farmer, while gradually
accumulating an honorable independence,
is helping to reduce the price of bread to
the hungry. And this, be it observed,
is not mere abstraction, but great ag-
ricultural fact.
The farmer, for example, who succeeds
in getting larger yield of corn, from an
acre, and at lower cost per bushel than
ever before, thereby contributes to di-
minish the market pricesas we'll as to
increase the abundance d5t only of this
cereal, but of nearly all the products Of
husbandry. If he has been accustomed
to get thirty bushels of corn from an
acre, at a cost of fifty cents per bushel
which has been the experience of many
farmers, and if by persistent effort, he
works out method that gives sixty
bushels at forty cents, which has also
been the experience of some, then his
net profit, on q market price of seventy
cents per bushel, is 300 per cent. greater
than before. But this is not all. A
saving in the cost of corn indicates 6
corresponding reduction in the cost o.
beef and pork, of mutton and wool, o:
milk, butter and cheese, poultry and
eggs.

"Pu11 Down Your vEsT."-The
slang phrase "pull down your vest" is
not new, but has been revived lately. A
gentleman on the Georgia train, the other
day, said he first heard it twenty years
ago. 1t was in Illinois, when Lincoln
and Douglas were making their cele.
brated Congressional campaign. The
gentleman was something of q politician
then, and said he attended political meet.
ings whenever he got chance. 1t was
inspiring to see Douglas throw himself; y
Matt Carpenter is nowhere. When he'd
get off particular fine passage-all elo-
guence, and fire gesturemthe buttons to (,
his vest would pop off like periods all
along through his sentences. When he
had got through and sitting down and
raking back his hair, the boys would
howl, "Bully for you, little fellow pull
down your vest" When Lincoln's lank
form would rise up like an exclamation
point and the crowd would be still.

her sisters in the following truthful and
eloquent language:

may wish to enter the field. He faci-

though somewhat worsted, he has
learned something by his experience.
Weregret that the beautiful city OF
Paris, with its cultivation and fine
taste, should permit SO worthy an en-

Without the press, supported by en-

reach that commercial prosperity to
which Paris from its geographical po-
sition is certainly entitled. -
Just Mt this momentthe daily atten-
ton Of her people needs to be called to
the completion of the railroad gap be-

every energy should be summoned to
the task of enforcing its completion.
Lamar county has too much fertile
land, too great need for mills and
manufactures, foundries and machine
shops and the capital requisite to
build them, to omit at this supreme
moment to advertise herself. But take

OUR little Comanche bank robbery is
quite eclipsed by the success Of the
robbers in Massachusetts,. - Masked
burglars effected an entrance into the
Northampton Bank of Springfield and
took from that institution the moderate
sum of 81 100000 in money and bonds,
nearly halfof which was negotiable,
overlooking some $4,000 in currency
and an additional S25, 200 in bonds.
The robbers entered the house of
cashier Whittlesey, and bound, gagged
and guarded for hours seven people.
They compelled him to give them the
combinations of the safe vault. They
waited till they knew thefiight watch
man had gone home, and then, getting
into the vault and safe with on ly one
OF thefour keys they needed, they took
a large amount Of securities. An ,ex-
pert had to be sum moned from New
York, aud the lock was not opened un-
til an early hour this morning. aa
Cashier Whittlesey, when asked to
give the three combinations to the
vault for the outer, inner md chest
doors, gave them wrong twice
and thrice, but the burglars wrote
them down and made him repeat
them. OF course they caught him in
the attempt to mislead them, aud the
