library NTH several other gentlemen" The
telegraphic correspondence given above was
read and the situation freely canvassed IN
their presence. Mr.. TIlden dictated and sent
a Telegram for transmission in cipher to
Washington to the Democratic National COM
mittee-rooms. Not having been sent to or
seen by Mr.. Hewitt, it is not pertinent to any
controversy concerning him. and, indeed, by
the time it had arrived and been degphered
the business was done, but it has a value now
as a fuller written record of the same
points covered more briefly in the kilograms to
Hewitt, which had followed full conversation.
Was ever greater political bull made than
the attempt to gull intelligent people with
such an explanation? Tilden, President-elect,
to whom the whole Democratic party had
been looking for weeks anxiously for some
sign of leadership, whose bounden duty it
was to sound warning cry and a watchword
at the first sign of the conspiracy, did what?
At the last moment Tilden, President-elect,

Special OF the fifth from Shelbyville, In
diana, to the Cincinnati Enquirer: This
community was shocked tonight by the de-
tails of crime unparalleled in its history.

persons of three little girls by boy named

Bailey, Ida Foulty aud girl named Hill are
the victims, their ages ranging between
eleven and twelve years. These children
tell story that chiils the blood. They state
that nearly three weeks ago Carney enticed
them into privy IN the eastern portion of
the city, and demanded that they submit to
his desires or he would take them to the
woods and kill them. Frightened at his
threat and the additional statement that he
had previously killed girl, they submitted,
when. it is alleged, he in turn outraged all
three of them. By threats and rewards he
succeeded in preventing the children from
mentioning the affair to any one. Several
days ago they all became sick, and, upon ex-
animation to-day by physician, it was dis
covered that the fend h I'd communicated to
them most loathsome disease. Being
pressed for particulars, the girls were finally

a Young Girl Burned and Outraged.

st. Paul Pioneer Press, of Sunday: A gen
tleman from Hudson, Wisconsin, brings the
news of horrible outrage committed at that
place last Thursday afternoon upon the per-
son of little girl. Her name Is Susie Rock
stroh, and she is about sixteen years old. At
the time no one but the girl was in the house.
although a gentleman was in the front yard
at work. The villain entered at the back
door with q bottle in his hand. When within
a few feet of the girl he opened it and at
tempted to throw it over her. She lodged to
one side, when he caught her, and in the
scuffie the bottle was broken and the contents
emptied upon the young girls face and neck,
and she sank down unconscious. The brute,
man evidently between twenty-five and
thirty years of age, then succeeded in accom-
pllshing his fendish purpose and left unob-
served. The girl was discovered lying on the
floor, and did-not recover from her dragging
for three hours, and then could not tell who
her assailant was. Yesterday she was IL
spasms and was nearly insane. 1t is feared
that the injuries received may prove to be
far more serious than at first expected. Her
face and neck are burned where the liquid
from the bottle fell. Who committed the as
sault is a mystery

" who murdered your fathers and sons and
90 robbed your households. To pay their
