Outrage by Masked Men.

John, Peter, Christian and David
Roth are -four wealthy brothers, bache-
lors, each of them over sixty years old,
living across the river directly opposite
Marietta. Friday night week between
eight and nine o'clock, they were sitting
in the kitchen in company with the
housekeeper and her sister. Three
masked men entered, and, only await
ing to say "good evening"" began
murderous assault upon the family with
out any provocation. One of them
struck Peter on the head with billy.
Another seized one of the women, but
David grasped him and pulled him
away. Having made her escape, the
the woman ran to the house of Jacob
Roth, living about seventy-five yards
away, to give an alarm. Peter had a vio-
lent tussle with the man who attacked
him, and in the affray was cut severely
no less than ten times on the head He
finally released himself and made his
escape to Jacob Roth house. The path
leading to Roth's was sprinllled with
blood as it flowed from his dangerous
wounds. David defended himself with
a club, and only received two wounds
on the forehead. Christian was very
severely beaten, receiving six cuts on
the head. John was injured to about
the same extent as Christian. AT the
conclusion of this diabolical deed the
robbers escaped, taking with them n
shotgun, which was afterwards found
in the yard, where one of them also
dropped a hat Dr. Thompson, of
Wrightsville, was sent for and dressed
the wounds. The only one who is dan
gerously injured is Peter, who was on
Sunday reported dead, but was living
Monday morning. There are those who
think his injuries will prove fatal. The
women were not hurt. The bold affair
has created great excitement and a large
number of persons visited the scene of
the bloody conflict on Sunday. The
house is situated in secluded spot, and
the whole transaction looks like MUIR
derous attack with theintent of robbery.
A reward of 500 has been offered by
the authorities for the arrest and con-
viction of the villains.

Extraordinary Suit Against Sheriff.

A singular case is pending in Judge
Howe's room, of which no mention has
vet been made. 1t is a suit instituted by
DIR. James H. Fuller against John Il.
Presley and Others for damages in the
sum of $25, 900. The complaint sets
forth that during Fuller's absence from
the city the sheriff levied upon and sold
all of his office furniture to satisfy all eX-
ecution, breaking into his office to get at
the goods. Among this furniture was a
safe which was purchased by a second
hand dealer who caused it to be opened
and the papers taken out. These papers
were sold to rag man and forever dis
appeared from view.
Now the doctor comes forward with
the statement that these papers embraced
a bundle of notes and mortgages to the
value of $4,000, and tax certificates
worth 900 more. The records in the
auditors office show DIR. Fuller to have
been large purchaser of tax certificates
and there is money now in the county
treasury belonging to him which he
cannot get at because he can not pro-
duce the certificates. The doctor sues
the sheriff and all others who helped to
dispose of his property to recover the
value of his missing wealth. The mag
nitude of the loss renders the case one of
more than usual interest. Indianapolis

physicians of italy have been summon
ed to his bedside, and they give as their
opinion that he cannot recover, although
they admit he may linger for some days,
if not for week or more. So soon as
the death of the pontiff is announced
the cardinals will assemble in conclave,
and 1t is thought that this conclave will
last no longer than day, and that an
italian will be chosen rs the successor of
Pho Mono.
The Italian government has already
taken the precaution to station strong
guard around all the approaches to the
vatican to prevent any pillaging that
might follow on the death of the pope
being made public. 1t is further an
nounced that the temporary interment
of the pope will take place in st. Pauls

A Long Chase.

On Saturday week, after the north
bound passenger train left Lebanon,
KY, when passing the Walker distillery,
a mile or two from town, horse that
had been grazing by the roadside be-
came frightened, and getting upon the
track, ran along in front of the train
until it reached st. Mary's, four miles
distant from the point of starting. Dur
ing the whole of the course the horse
resisted all efforts made by the trainmen
to drive it from the track, and leaped
the cow-gaps without sustaining any in
jury. The most remarkable part of the
achievement, however, was crossing the
railroad bridge over Hardin's creek, the
timbers of which lie some distance apart,

Esq, late of the Altoona Sun, disappear

cause of his mysterious disappearance

Miller reached his friends, who were
greatly concerned about his safety and
whereabouts, to ascertain which they
had made every effort. A gentlman
from York, Pa, had occasion to visit
Oregon this summer, and there found
and recognized the ex-Sherif working
in u lumber yard. On his return home,
he made known his discovery, which
was conveyed to Miller's friends in

remittance of money, and request for
her to rejoin him on the Pacific slope,
