Terrible Murder.

A man and his wife was murdered q
Scow Bay opposite Port Townsend d,
the 10Th of October. The man VA.
found in the stable near the COW, VIII, /,
it is supposed he, was preparing to ,ld.k
with bullet in his head. The ball
was fred by some person unknown, and
striking him in the neck just below the
ear and extending upwards into his
head the hole made by the bullet is
quite large. The woman was lying on
the ground just outside the house, and
as blood was discovered on the floor. is
conjectured that She was shot in the
house and started to run to her husband
at the barn, when she was overtaken by
the assassin. who cut from ear to ear her
throat. Two small children were found
in the house--the eldest about two and
one-half years and the other six months.
They had been about thirty six hours
without food. Nothing seemed to be
disturbed in or about the premises. and
it cannot be imagined what prompted
the murder. The victim was an inof
fensive man. He was about forty and
his wife about thirty-fve.-- Tacoma

al particulars of the recent terrible trar.
edy at Scow Bay:
After most painstaking and careful

diet of murder against some person or
persons unknown. 1t is generally con.
ceeded that the murder mus. have been
committed by 4 white man or men. as
had it been Indians it is more than pro
bable that the hou.e would have been
ransacked aud the children perhaps slain
also; but as it was, everything seemed
untouched in the house, aud the nelrder
was evidently commit ed through re.
venge, but by whom is the mystery
which still remains unsolved. The Off
GERS OF the law have been using every
effort to obtain a clue to the murderer
and it is hoped that in the end they may
be successful.

The Congressional Candidates

There are three candidates for Congress- be.
fore the people of this first District. We give
oor estimate of each as shown BY themselves,
Tree, as we should be, of course, of all party
bias.
First, there is Samuel ]. Anderson. He
claims to be Democrat, but there Is not an
item in his history or his present political
creed that shows any resemblance to Democ-
racy in its older and better days. He would
pull down the Government as it was left
us Dy Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, and re-
verse all their policy and give US form Of
Government and policy of his own manufac-
ture. What they should be he does OF tell us.
il indeed he knows what he wants himself He
as yet gives us no programme of his new
schemes. We doubt if any old Democrats vote
for him.
Then there is E. H. Cove, all right in the
main, but unhappily innoculated with the
G-eenback malady. He is not aware that he.
IKE Anderson, is Cooperating with Socialists
and Southern rebels. IL is hoped he will come
out all right by and by. We are sorry he Is
nos all right now. He has no experience and is
looking Tor miracles to be wrought by the issue
OF greenbacks. We guess Ben Butler, who has
betrayed them all, and Dennis Kearney, the
Irish Socialist and colleague of Butler, will be
likely to open his eyes when in Bidd eford.
People have great hopes of Cove yet.
Then there is Thomas B. Reed, the present
representative in Congress from this District,
the avowed and active friend of the soldiers
OF '6l. Look at his political principles as he
has illustrated them and compare them with
the principles of the Democratic party in its
better days, and see If they are not identicslly
alike: Look at his votes in Congress. Viii
you find more than one to find fault with?
Read his speech on the University question of
Virginia. Did he not manfully resist Southern
raids upon the Treasury? Look at the tact
and talent he displayed as a member Of the
Potter-Butler investigating committee. Did
he not honor himself and the District he rep
resents? Es
